Newfag here. I'm going to shoot lightning.
Balls, beams, cast from the sky, I don't know how it works but I want to zap. Wish me luck.
I was thinking about being a bowman but I want to lean into powerful wizardry that these games seem to like.
>>527457828shock nova casts around the caster, not at target lcoation
you can just literally stand on the other side of the screen and hold left mouse button to spam your ice shot/lightning arrow/ele hit whatever
>>527457849when you aim in a direction you will see a red outline on a enemy the game will auto aim your attack onto that enemy, on mkb you need to do the same with the mouse icon so it doesnt auto aim you just need to point yourself in the direction of a monster it will highlight red and it will do the aiming for you

>>527459475The skill and build isn't even good enough to have such a high number. This just shows how lazy and reliant this community has become on streamers shilling and spoonfeeding them builds.

>>5274599271. League feels... lacking. Like come on, this is what we get after of year being ignored, a barebones league slapped together with some reused mechanics that some poor intern had to make over two weeks?
We didn't even have F U L L patchnotes on day1, which is already a yuge redflag on devtime.
2. Servers.
3. Nigggers never learn that deploying on friday is bad. Didn't stop them from hotfixing merc loot, i've got jackshit today compared to yesterday (subjective)
4. They didn't even bother changing numbers on skills enough to move us to a new meta. Fucking Phrecia had more to it.

Don't like my build, doesn't have enough clear to hit the dopamine receptors also everything else being bad about it
>>527451952>I think the issue is something to do with pausing/desync 100% it is
I just had a huge delay when I ported back from a map to my hideout, and the screen hung for about 30 seconds.
I clicked around a few times during the delay
Then I appeared, the map device was spinning like crazy, and then I started moving fast as fuck around my hideout like my clicks got buffered
Then it caught up, and I was back to normal

>>527459679Enduring cry doesn't give exerts. Autoexert doesn't actually use the warcry, it just gives exerts and resets the cooldown, if it could trigger Enduring cry then it would reserve your mana to do literally nothing.
>>527461542it doesn't take very long to get red maps if you know what youre doing. I'll take the infinitely higher satisfaction of beating the game SSF than using tradeslop

>>527459927game sucks. soulslike for no reason
ddi they buff headhunter or something, why is it insanely expensive again after dropping way down in price before
>>527464079Now that is some eye cancer.
>>527463821There's something about lab that specifically causes this to happen for some people, I got screwed by it too. For my last two labs I just rushed past the treasure chests and tagged the ascension altar before the connection started shitting itself. I barely made it for my 4th lab by literal fucking SECONDS before disconnecting. Switching off of Washington DC servers might help as well, not really sure.
>>527464950it's still as rare as ever, but there's no supply right now
>>527464950There are very few people playing the game this league. I don't know if it's because of server issues or because they moved on to RMT in other games but trade and TFT are DEAD. About 10-15% of normal league start activity.
>>527464079I had this idea before the league launched but i don't think its very good desu.
EU fixed or do I need to stay as a refugee on south africa?
Anons don't bring your mercs into pinnacles or Izaro. Unless I've gone completely crazy and just imagined all this shit, the bosses seem to gain more than just 50% more life: they also become fast as fuck and use their moves more often. Izaro was absolutely zooming in 4th lab, and Exarch ball phase became literally impossible by covering almost every inch of the entire arena in fireballs. I retried the fight with the merc reserved and the difference was extremely noticeable.

>>527466378Does it? I'm still in acts so I haven't switched to it yet.
>SlayerHuh? latest build is zerker
>>527466378The only flicker I ever liked was Trickster because that ascendancy is immortal regardless of how dumb your build is.

>>527466881Vfos is more consistent than esrthshatter because it doesn't require precise targeting and can be used off screen. Earthshatter only does better if it has a wall to bounce shatters off of while vfos can hit a boss even while it's offscreen. This nuance isn't accounted for on a stationary target

>>527469071Show me 1 thats good, go ahead.
>>527468715That build is fucking trash and you're better off just going Arma brand at the start until you can swap to ivory tower but it's a try hard build that needs early currency so if you can't buy shit like unnatural instinct, astramentis and split personalities by day 2-3 and have no currency strategy you will have a hard time switching.

>>527477129Yeah it slams, after the first hit, but that first hit is so damn bad that it made me stop playing at yellow maps, made a couple div to reroll though so it's not all bad
>>527477495Lying bitch.

FYI if you're Cadiromaxxing with Janus in research T2 uniques cost ~150k gold and T1 uniques cost ~450k gold. I haven't gotten a T0 but it's safe to say that it's probably 2 millionish.
Basically betrayal is the WORST possible thing you can play at league start when you're gold poor. One of your biggest jackpots is completely unobtainable until you've farmed forever.
Also there's one that gives you ancient orbs for a jewelry slot but it doesn't necessarily pick belt...I didn't ancient orb into this it just started like this and was insta-bricked kek.

For an eternity, the darkness swelled within a ceaseless churn of its feeding, and then... silence. Such silence is deafening to those who listen for it. The abyss cast its gaze upon its source. The first lurching movement of boundaries drawn long before the dawn. A claimant has arrived. You may know who. You wish to know why. The Maven seeks new conflict. Bored, she is, with the realm she has given. She is not the only one. The silence is deafening to all. You fear The Maven. You fear she is The Elder, returned and emboldened. She is, and she is not. The Maven serves not the Decay. She serves only her own amusement, passing eternity with an endless string of meaningless struggles. She is not the Elder, but you are right to fear her

Ultimatum was (still is even with current merc league situation) the worst fucking launch they ever had. Absolute fucking disaster.
Unstable servers for everyone so you got kicked often, long ass queues that were not moving (literally) and at the top of that streamer got priority queue because they paid big streamers outside of community to advertise (but priority was also given to streamers from community so e.g. retard69 in his infinite wisdom started antagonising everyone that couldn't play which added to that).
Chris himself had to come out make a statement, they delayed mystery boxes.

>>527493643I don't remember well. Up to 24h? I think it was more severe as nobody could play but was shorter than current. I don't recall rollbacks but with random disconnection you probably were losing some progress.
After slow queue you either had a chance to disconnect randomly every zone change or just while playing and then you would be back in slow queue.
Maps were not an issue. Very low chance of actually getting there and these were time of campaigns still longer than 4h.
>>527495298Feeling the same way. It's been good, but it feels like complete ass to play. Probably just gonna take the downgrade and play something more braindead for challenges before i shoot myself.

>>527496937If you select the currency thing they drop all the items in the currency thing
>>527496673its not that complicated, seriously, if you have a solid grasp of fundamental itemization mechanics of poe, you can very quickly learn new crafting methodologies, as most of them follow the general ruleset BUT they deviate from it in one specific way, this rogcrafting guide has 78 pages, because it's padded with explaining why youd even want to do rog, how to get currency for him, how expedition as a whole works, etc - from the top of my head id say the actual rogcraft mechanics take a couple of pages at most, rest of this "reference manual" is information on what kind of mods are valuable for certain item types (ie. bows wanting additional arrows mods) and how to best approach such an item type, if you want to rogcraft, you just put in the regex, spot a promising item, refer to the cheat sheet for more info

What's the best way to craft?
Campaign was fun, uninstalled at yellow maps because the maze got boring after the 100th time
cant even be bothered to check the new bosses
>>527496998ohhh i thought that im picking only one thing out of the pouch
depends on what kind of an item you want to craft (without sperging too much, biggest difference is between crafting gear and (cluster) jewels), what is your minimal acceptable value of the end craft (are you satisfied with two high tier mods? three? maybe you need six relevant mods, but tiers don't have to be t1? are you aiming for a mirror craft (6 top mods, all tier 1, divined to max roll or close enough)) and what is your start point (white base? key mod fractured on a base? prefixes or suffixes in an acceptable state, but the other side needs to be improved?)
>>527497741dont open fish inside
>>527497492I'm trying to gear after clearing campaign and starting maps, just want resistance and ideally a few damage mods on some good base gear, for example on rings i want two to three resistance mods in addition to the implicit, one of them coming from crafting bench

>>527494720mana vortex, done 111/115 and 3/4 stones
no issues besides retarded one shot mercs
If you think mercs are OP now, just wait til you find the fisher merc and hire him.
>>527497850essences are used to reroll an item, but they guarantee one mod on it (tier of the mod depends on the tier of an essence), so that would be a pretty basic way to get "good enough" post-campaign gear, just roll a few times with an essence, slap a bench craft on it
another quite simple way to force certain mods onto your items would be to use the harvest bench, where you can reroll an item, but guarantee a mod of a certain type to appear - some items allow only one or two mods from a certain group, so such a reforge guarantees a hit - for example, when you progress through maps and you actually need to get some chaos resistance, a good way to do so would be to "reforge chaos" on an amethyst ring to guarantee a chaos resistance modifier (ring mod pool only has one modifier tagged with "chaos", chaos resistance, so reforging chaos guarantees the outcome - there are no essences which can achieve this deterministically on a ring btw)
id suggest you take a look at craftofexile, choose an item type you are interested in, a ring, amulet, maybe a weapon and see what's actually in the mod pool for these items and what tags do these modifiers have, DO NOT scroll down and look at shaper/elder/conqueror influences, it will just muddy the waters for you
if you spend a league fucking around with essences and harvest, youll mostly get the fundamentals and then you can expand to other crafting mechanics imo
rog is also fine, as he can output sometimes really good items, but most of the time what you want from rog are half-products on which you work later on using different methods
unique drop rate is insane on my 1st char
ive gotten like 15 uniques during acts
>>527498253Thanks for the info anon, appreciate it
Was overwhelmed with the number of crafting methods out there

>>527498624but he still barely takes any damage. maybe mercs use monster charges so his endurance charges are ultra powered?
Is there a merc with smite and wrath?
>>527498484np, its A LOT to take in and frankly is impossible to take in at once, a lot of crafting stuff is very-very endgame specific too and it's impossible to tell what's what on your own
craftofexile also has a crafting emulator, where you can pick an item base, set it's item level, and just use the in-game orbs (+ harvest bench) on an item and see what happens, probably a good idea to do so, so you don't accidentally burn your currency on something which is either impossible to do or highly unlikely
there's also a full blown simulator, where you can input multi-step crafting procedures with multiple decision branches, but that's highly concentrated autism territory

You're all fucking slugs but me
>>527503830you can go block. it's really easy to cap spell block, but a little tricky to cap attack block in the northern part of the tree. you can use glancing blows at least to knock off 35% of the damage 75% of the time, but if you use glancing blows what you really want to do is have a bunch of like "you gain life on block or you gain a percentage of es or something on block" which you can get a little bit of with the masteries
if you're using a staff you might be able to block cap yourself around there.
aside from that you can invest a bunch into uh energy shield.
uh, it's a good idea to invest in nodes that reduce the amount of crit damage you take just regardless of what's going on. you can increase your resists beyond 75. uh, defensive curses like enfeeble is really good. temporal chains is really good. (requires dex though). you can blasphemy if you really have to. you can use purity of elements so you never get any ailments on you, which is really good because you dont want to be shocked. you dont want to be frozen in place either for obvious reasons. stuff like shocked and voiding crit is like the secret shit that will make you go why am i exploding versus like well of course i exploded i was frozen to the ground. arctic armour is really good if you dont want to go purity of elements. even better if you stand still a lot.

>>527506272It's Jonathan who ordered the server techies to give Poo1 the lowest amount of resources possible.
Okay this is fucking funny
>buy kiracs vault
>get uniques out the ass from every single rare and boss in acts
Lol
I'm pobbing 2.5 million dps on ele Cyclone but my mercwife slams for more damage than me and it's not even close.
It's that fucking Gilded snaking support it has to be. The axe I gave her isn't even that fucking good.
I could've afk'd the last 2 voidstones.

>>527506819they see red and immediately panic
>>527506182>amerinigger can't see past his own self interest to realize that a region like eu getting filtered by server problems will lower game engagement overall, lower player numbers and affect the future development of the gameoh well, eols in 3 leagues and you ameriniggers can play your settlers 2.0 forever.
>>527506518im literally using sloom merc in maps and hes doing fine
Does siege ballista scale better than storm burst totem? Still deciding a build.
Oaky this is not funny
I unironically thing drop chances are increased if you pay for the pass
>>527507228you are an idiot
morning bros, is EU still crashing?
Wow they completely removed any incentive to specc blight when mapping.
The +1 tier is gone
The "map bosses drop anointed amulets" (free chances for good oils with the extractors) is gone
Why?
It's not like anybody was playing blight anyway.
>>527506665How do you even give mercs stuff, they all spwan with full slots once you reach act 7 or so, so you can't take out items to replace them...
>>527506920embarrassing cope
EU is fine for now, but I predict it will get worse again tonight.
>>527507401you drag the item on top of the slot... you can't take their starting items
>>527507401You literally just open their inventory and put shit on them. It deletes the item they spawned with forever but you can freely swap in and out the gear you give them.
>>527507413he's right retard. this situation is an embarrassment for GGG and bad for the game as a whole
>>527494720I play selfcast EoW, it's about as good as any other garbage selfcast homebrew, I only just got to maps because of the EU ddos bullshit.
do mercenaries take reflected damage&
>>527507481>>527507519Oh... Well that helps a lot actually.
I got some wierd unique ring that gives me free unnerve on mobs when my merc hits them with an attack, or Intimidate when he uses a spell.
i hate babysitting mercs for real, theyre so dumb and the tp heal is shit
i lost 2 chaos to a rollback in act 3 and quit and never came back
>>527507430>EU is fine for nowthis is your fault
Just got this but I don't have any premium tabs. Anyone want to buy it?
>give my merc shaper's seed
we are now immortal
>>527507430Sounds good, I had to finish campaig on 90+ ms on the fucking washington server yesterday and it sucked.
I'm already a 30 year old boomer and my reflexes are not what they used to be, adding input lag to that is debilitating when death is always 1 secound away.
lvl 80 and NO DIVINES DROPPED

This merc is surprisingly useful.
All the stupid ice walls he puts down makes him and me take a lot less damage, though i guess any kind of his type will just blow up once map mobs start dealing damage.
the EU hate in this thread has to stop. We're in this together bros, pls love each other kthx
