Path of Exile 3.0 Discussion

[Homerboy]

I looked at your PoB. Here are some suggestions:

13% More Damage - Your accuracy is only 88% so you're taking a big damage penalty. Remove empower out of your main links to your swap weaon and replace it with Precision. Level Precision to what you're comfortable with mana wise(probably 5 or 6). Replace your amulet with one that has at least 300 accuracy on it.

13% More Damage - You have two Marks for curses. When they did the curse change a few leagues ago they limited curses tagged as Marks to 1. This limit doesn't change even if you raise your curse limit. So you aren't even using two curses right now, you're just swapping between the two marks. Replace Assassin's Mark with Conductivity.

Those two are nearly free and get 26% more damage.


30% More Damage - Dump Inpulsa and setup a filter for a cheap +1 curse/attack crit chest that you can equip. This allows you to get 9 points back from the top of the tree. Put them into Heartseeker and Throatseeker clusters. Use the other 2 spare points to get a jewel slot on your large cluster jewel. Put a life, accuracy, damage mod jewel in there if you're still not 100% chance to hit.

11% More Damage, 50% More Movement Speed, More Evade: Just switch to Raider. Literally it's better in every way. Take the Frenzy and Onslaught path. Seriously, it's a straight upgrade.

Painfully smart and all-knowing as always.
To be honest, I was running with Conductivity in the helm (as per the guide) but just tossed in Assassin's Mark to see if the health/mana boost would help. So I have a fully leveled conductivity gem sitting in stash still

Good idea on the chest piece too. But the problem there is a 6L is SUPER expensive. Even a 5L is like 10E. So not sure if that helps overall as the storm rain would have to drop down to a 4L

*Edit*

I just checked and a Hyrri's Ire chest gives only 3% damage penalty vs a +1 curse/crit chest and it only costs 9c. Buy one of those and 5L it with a Jeweler's Touch prophecy. Also dump AOE from your Hydrosphere and replace it with Innervate. A 6L +1 curse/attack crit chest is still your end game if you want to work towards it. But the Ire chest will get you somewhere for right now on the cheap. This also means you will just be running Sniper's Mark as your only curse.

 

[Homerboy]

Don't search links. The Jeweler's Touch prophecy gets you a 5L and it only costs 5c right now. If you put up a filter while you're playing I bet you could snag a chest that you can craft life on for around 60c or less. Just make sure you put in your attribute requirements so you don't accidentally buy a chest you can't equip.

I ALWAYS forget about Jeweler's Touch.

Check my edited post.

Let me know how all the changes work out. With the chest piece changed, accuracy increased, points swapped and innervate running your DPS should be about double what it was before.

wait - why Hyrie's Ire? just for the defense?

 

[rstrohkirch]

It has a pile of added cold damage and since you're scaling mostly projectile and bow damage, you're scaling that damage as well. Once you start investing into the build a bit more it won't work as well but it does for now and it's super cheap. Plus like you said, the dodge is really nice.

Two more immediate upgrades you should grab are a Dying Sun and an Anomalous Storm Rain.

 

[Homerboy]

changes definitely helping to make everything hit a little harder. Have to reallocate some more to get life up a little higher again.
got and 5L'ed the Hyrie's Ire but I spent WAY too many chromes and didn't get the colors I needed. Crafting bench screwed me. So still waiting on getting that equiped.

 

[sactoking]

Did you try the add/remove socket trick to get your colors or did you go straight "at least X color?"

 

[JTsyo]

Isn't there a 5 link option in the crafting table for 150 orbs of fusing?

 

[sactoking]

The easiest way to get a properly colored 5 link, especially if you need off colors, is to start with a 2 or 3 socket with proper colors then use the 4 socket bench recipe. If you don't get a color you need you use the 3 socket bench recipe and alternate 4-3-4-3 until socket 4 is a proper color. Once it is you alternate the 5 and 4 socket bench recipes until socket 5 is a proper color. Once you have everything colored correctly then you use your prophecy to 5 link it.

just before the weekend, i haggled with Tujen for a stack of 10 Stacked Decks. i start pulling them one by one and suddenly...House Of Mirrors!
sold it for 43ex! no idea what to do with them though...so meanwhile i'm leveling a carrion golem elementalist.

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn!

it's the closest i've been to a mirror in 2 years plating

 

[Homerboy]

I can't even get a single exalt to drop this league

 

[Homerboy]

aaaaaaaaaaaaand just like that I had a 3xExalt stack drop from an excavation

 

[Homerboy]

was able to pick up a +1 curse chest piece and get it 5L to replace the short-lived Hyri's Ire. It wasn't at all that expensive actually - only like 40C. It's not THE BEST chest in the world, but it does it's job and from what I could tell, the expensive ones really didn't offer too much more. Amazing the drop in damage though when switching out the chests - much lower, but now at least I get the double curse to offset.

Now I'm going to try to figure out what to spend my new found riches on, or keep saving up for that 6L chest.

You have enough for a 6L right now. 1ex is worth around 660-680 fusings as of today. So you can either: buy a Fated Connnections for 3x, pay for a 6L service for around 2.4ex or 6 socket it and try your luck. Either way you have enough. Just glancing at PoB, Focused Ballista looks like the best 6th link support.

Also, you really should try Raider. It's only 40 regrets and a normal lab run to change Ascendancy. Damage is higher and you get 50% run speed bonus over Deadeye. That alone feels so much better to play. You also need to replace your amulet with one that has accuracy as your leaving damage on the table and the amulet you would buy wouldn't be that much.

Then there is a Wrath jewel like this one you can usually get for 50-60c: https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Expedition/Bdal4f8


If you switch to Raider, swap to a amulet with at least 300 accuracy, 6L your chest and put in the Wrath jewel then your:

Lightning arrow will have 35% more damage (2 less projectiles)
Storm Rain will have 45% more damage

 

[JTsyo]

Looks like 3.16 will see a major revamp in many things. So many changes, I have no idea how it'll play.

 

[rstrohkirch]

If you were happy with this league then next will be better.

 

[Borealis7]

i have an idea...Famine League! reduce drop rates of all currency, disable the Chaos recipe, reduce rarity of all item drops and lets see the economy handle it.

Sounds like SSF

 

[Borealis7]

No, you could still trade, but generating income would be more difficult without the chaos recipe and reduced drop rates on everything. gearing up with rares would still be reasonably easy with alchs and essences.

 

[Homerboy]

Man, there A LOT of changes for this next league. I might wait a week and let some starter builds flesh out a little.
I don't know much, but it seems a lot of those Masteries can be game changers.

 

[Borealis7]

i just don't want to die to ailments and one shots all the time. like it was before 3.16, that's all im asking.
damage nerfs i can deal with, but dying all of a sudden without knowing why is irritating.

Welcome to the past 10 years or so. Not knowing WHY you died has always been the most annoying thing.
