What would happen if I used Searing Bond linked with a Spell Totem?
so chaos nodes affect poison, but the poison nodes don't affect chaos, right?

Nothing.
Why ask here and not try in game? Where's your desire to experiment?

>>125485268
Corrrect. Like how fire damage nodes affects burn damage but burn damage nodes don't affect fire damage.
All poison is chaos like how all burn is fire. And in both cases the reverse in not true.
Is there any fun builds I could do with these? Just beat merciless and I'm bored as fuck with my ball lightning templar

A spell totem can only cast spells.

lyl
and now comes the GGG dick riding for another year
The reason why GGG hasn't done anything to improve trade is because it will hurt their RMT business.
Cross instance trade would make their RMTlord's business easier but it will ruin the game by making it too hard to find items and the game too easy. This is a fact backed up by empirical evidence. Games with auction houses must make extensive gameplay changes to accommodate the massive balance damage done by the auction house. Items are bound to the character or account and items are obtained largely through linear progression. This keeps items from being able to be easily obtained from the auction house. PoE isn't like this, they would have to completely change or otherwise ruin the game.
Since GGG can't essentially implement the tools to create an AH via cross instance trade without ruining the game, their only other option is to make trading as convoluted as possible, The majority of players who play and attempt to trade will be forced to look for other means of obtaining items due to how convoluted it is. Some of them will find useful and legal 3rd party resources, others who grew up on other f2p games who know the ins and outs of an in game economy will head straight for RMT and GGG knows this.
GGG gains a double benefit from their convoluted trade system by looking like the shining protectors of their economy by occasionally making it public knowledge that they banned an RMT'er and by keeping their communication channels free from RMT spam. But they know full well that the players who RMT already know where to get it and GGG prints Exalts and sells them to all the RMT sites so they both make the money RMT'ing and look like the good guy from banning RMT'ers. Also players who get banned will have to buy more to get back to where they're at, thus benefiting GGG again.
The simple fact of the matter is it has been far too long to have not implemented a way for the average player to index their items in game and to keep track of the current value of currency.
Summoner, SuperNova or Arc witch?
>>125486998
ice storm offers excellent cc and fine damage. needs 2 curses imo
firestorm does more damage but no ground cc effect. needs an offensive curse at least
bladefall, being phys and having higher base damage per individual hit offers interesting posibilites; such as stun or poison based builds; while needing no penetration on curses/gems
>>125486373
>>125486574
As unfun as as it would be, I'm still interested to see onslaught with max frenzy stacks.
>>125486574
What about a curse aura Warlords/Poachers mark build then?
>>125487728
I sincerely appreciate the response, and the added detail.
I would assume, for end game, that ice storm (probably hybrid of CI) is preferable for HC? Or maybe a full life firestorm?
Then comes into the question of, is bladefall's base damage high enough to be a carry for damage in end game HC?
>>125487464
or it's because they're literally too stupid to make one
this is evidenced by : every choice they've ever made
>>125487702
>>125488302
a not shit trade system has been requested for as long as this game has existed.
GGG has had YEARS to implement one but has provided nothing but excuses.
GGG may be stupid but they figured out how to completely remove desync from the game, in spite of most players thinking it wouldn't be possible.
they added a stash tab search function in spite of claiming how difficult it would be, at the request of the user. oddly enough this also benefits them financially through encouraging stash tab sales by making stash tabs have more attractive features.
they managed to create their own engine from scratch, a feat most AAA developers even these days are incapable of doing.
it's TWO THOUSAND AND FIFTEEN i mean cmon they built the entire game you're playing and you're STILL making technical limitation/basic competency excuses? "the technology isn't there" lmfao yeah fucking right they could do it if they wanted to but they don't want to do it, even though it's easily the most outstanding request the game has because it would cripple their RMT business as if players actually enjoyed trading they would lose a bunch of RMT business.
>>125489207
all very boring choices
anybody who started to reply fell asleep
>>125489332
Wow nerd, how about you hit me with one of your super exciting throbbing build suggestions?
>>125489210
>it's the current year!
You're not listening.
They. are. fucking. stupid.
They can't fix BASIC problems that have been in the game since beta. Take your conspiracy theories to /pol or something
>>125489553
fuck off weaboo, think for yourself for once in your miserable existence
>>125488234
on end game stuff, self cast firestorm can be great to support rf builds, or in totems. not sure about pure-self cast firestorm tho
ice storm is viable hc, but the gear you need for it isnt exactly cheap
dunno about bladefall. i just rolled a bladefaller after my last rip and am still barely 69, but its looking good
>>125489210
No players thought it would be impossible to fix desync, what??? Ggg wrote big long posts about how it wasn't possible to fix and everyone else said that's bs, the only people who thought it couldn't be fixed were the ones who believed ggg consistently saying it couldn't be fixed.
Literally.
Kill urself Sandy hook memer
>>125489812
That was totally uncalled for and rude.
Apologize.
>>125489895
It wasn't actually 'fixed' persay, they offered an alternative - which was a shit load better for most. Their comments on the situation they were in are valid, if you don't understand that then reread them enough times til' it sinks in.
>>125489583
they have the time
they have the ability
i gave examples to prove that they do by fixing desync, adding stash tab search, etc.
it's occam's razor up in this bitch right now and that says the only logical explanation left is they're afraid of harming their RMT business. there's no other simple and logical explanation.
the ENTIRE GAME IS BALANCED AROUND TRADE you could argue that it's the most important feature separating it from its competition at this point and thus it makes no sense that they wouldn't have already improved that aspect right now rather than allow the entire playerbase to miss out on THE MOST IMPORTANT FEATURE OF THE GAME due to them being clueless of 3rd party trade tools.
the simplest answer is the best: GGG is an RMT business, probably supporting terrorism directly or indirectly.

you must be new or something because every time the subject was brought up there were huge topics detailing how it wouldn't be possible by GGG fanboys and the reality is at the time, it was correct. it wasn't until GGG added servers all fucking over the world that lockstep was feasible and it's still only feasible because grouping is COMPLETE FUCKING ASS thanks to performance issues.
if people actually regularly grouped up in this game they'd find themselves being hosted by australia from the us and lockstep is utterly unplayable with above 100 ping i'd argue it's awful with over 50 ping. so yes at the time desync was not possible to fix.
>>125484058
Warlord's Mark blasphemy is the most broken thing in this patch by far (even more than memefall)
CWDT/IC is back and you can actually level it up for max duration without needing more links.
>>125487464
Dude, everyone already knows this, about those fucking uniques appearing day 1 on rmt sites, GGG will never EVER ruin their biggest money making ploy by fixing trade.
>>125481667
To be fair family, it was a really good sword.
>>125490167
It was fixed. Just because they enabled another way to sync with the server doesn't mean it wasnt fixed. News flash, that's how all companies do it. It's why you still move in a lot of games or in a game like call of duty, you quit moving. They just didn't want to admit the original implementation wasnt as good. The whole " it doesn't work with high ping" makes about as much sense as trying to play any game with high ping, since high ping is bad on literally any game.
It's fixed
Rate my unique /poeg/
>>125490618
I play with desync with 60 ping and my friend with 70 and its perfectly fine.
Why are you memers so shit ?
"Wasn't possible till they added servers" oh really, 3 locations in the us, 1 on brasil, 3 in the eu is all over the world? Because for every other game company that's just the expectation.
You think other companies plop down 1 in us and 1 in eu and then say they can't fix things? Get real, ggg is incompetent as fuck

>>125489210
GGG doesn't want a trade system implemented because it would just make people browse the AH, making flipping even easier and reduce the value of every item because everyone will list their items, then if they don't sell rebrowse and price lower. It already happens with poe.trade but auction house would make it worse.
Its why GGG doesn't really want to go that route despite it sucking. A big problem is that pushes people to trade is that the difference between an average good sword you find yourself and the ones others craft / find is huge. If it wasn't for trade I would have levelled multiple characters using 180-210 dps swords in lv 80+.
Its why self found melee doesn't really work well.
>>125490618
Not a lot of people groups in the game though. If you're playing with friends who are from the same country as you, you likely have no issues you wouldn't already have.
The desync fix was absolutely needed, and it cost GGG probably plenty to fix it. Hence it probably took so long as they needed enough donations and money to make it worth it.
GGG did a great job on the awakening imo, fixing desync + act 4.
>>125491364
>I play with desync with 60 ping and my friend with 70 and its perfectly fine.
that's exactly the opposite of playing lockstep with high ping retard
>Wasn't possible till they added servers" oh really, 3 locations in the us, 1 on brasil, 3 in the eu is all over the world

If they're so incompetent then don't play, or go leave your feedback to them.
Sick of all you dickheads sitting here saying GGG is so shit, yet here you are playing their game and watching them fix your complaints one step at a time. They're the best company I've seen working through situations like this, if you think you can do better then please go do so, or apply for a job there.
Fucking shills just trying to stir shit.
>>125491695
>GGG doesn't want a trade system implemented because it would just make people browse the AH
indexer =/= ah and their solution now is to make people browser the god awful indexer dumping grounds called their forums or trade chat spam
indexer requires both players be online and manually initiate trade. ah players can be offline and trade is automated. one's an indexer like a database the other is a facilitator like an auction house.
>Not a lot of people groups in the game though
because the client performance is absolutely garbage in groups. this was already covered. to compound matters, lockstep is shit in groups unless you're the host, because there's a high degree of probability the host won't be your gateway and many hosts don't advertise their gateway, even if grouping performance wasn't already shit to begin with.

>>125496570
I leveled to 85 just using that and tried every thing to make it work. But its just too much of a fucking chore for AoE clearing. As soon as I hit tier 7 maps the RF didnt kill stuff fast enough anymore so I started to level Arc and Shock Nova. Nova is fucking ass, Arc does fine. Lets hope the dps goes up, its just level 17 right now.
Flame Surge is such a fun skill to blow up stuff. Was hilarious in a 7 Link. Basically kept 2 shotting myself to a reflect mob even though 87% fire rest if I forgot to pop Ruby. I will died to the fucking Talisman lagg though, I can feel it

that's where you're wrong my dumb friend. certain aspects of the game are not tied to your internet latency with desync because it's done client side hence why it's preferable with a higher ping. keep golbbling that shit up tho retarded faggot

>>125497690
Try to complete the divination card challenge.
The ten set is fun as your only options are the last one standing and time-lost relic.
Not sure how this is even possible on hardcore talisman as there are simply not enough players running excavation to complete the time-lost relic set without it costing 200 exalted orbs and there is almost no one running hall of grandmasters to buy the last one standing cards from for atziri's disfavour.
Even if you were to currency swap there are likely RMT'rs and extreme botters trying to buy this challenge as well, making the price of the last one standing go up to 10 ex per card. You need 10 of these so its a fun challenge.
The challenges previous league were actually doable 8/8 but 32/32 will be a feat that less than 50 players will probably get just because of the sheer rarity of these 2 divination card sets.
Its probably easier to drop 10 tier 1 uniques than 10 time-lost relics or 10 the last one standing.
>>125500094
Not only because of that.
GGG decided to buff graveyard Merveil and residence Dominus their first phase because they don't have a second phase in their maps.
But their first phases are actually the hard part.
>>125499682
>shifting goal posts this hard
and you're flat out wrong anyway. they completely changed how desync functions and lock step has massive hiccups on top of the shit gobbling 90ms of input latency that you're apparently okay with. i can barely stand lockstep with 30ms of ping because i'm not a shit eater like you
where is the ele leech nodes they said that would be in 2.1?
>>125500597
>Try to complete the divination card challenge.
Thats not farming for something that is fun. Its just mindless grind for a fucking achievement. Its not the same as farming 30ex for a build enabling item that turns the entire meta on its head and gives you a new approach to playing the character.

i have a high refresh rate low latency monitor. you can view the input latency test results at tftcentral mine is <5ms., I use a 1ms 1000hz sampling rate USB mouse with no sensor smoothing, a 1000hz mechanical keyboard with as fast as debounce time as there is on the market. typically only play games offline or online games on a local server where the client is trusted or on a LAN. my total input latency is as low as can be.
>Are you actually pretending that this game is responsive?
nope. but these issues are additive. adding another issue onto the myriad of other issues makes things worse. two wrongs don't make a right. if they reduced some of animation cast times, maybe added in animation cancelling on more skills, improved framerate, maybe then the game would feel more fluid to play.
there's no problem with anything on my end whatsoever. your game sucks dicks and you're a shit eater.

Yes it is.
The divination card challenges are always pure cancer not just because they contain an expensive item but because people will realize its a challenge put the items needed up for 3-5x the normal price.
You need more than a mirror of currency to complete 32/32 this time though. Things like tier 15 maps, soul takers, tier 1 uniques, the divination card challenge, the regular uniques they all add up.
Even 28/32 is pretty difficult however last league 7/8 was easily doable, the divination card one was only easy if you started working on it asap in the league and had some help.
But the identify and currency challenges this league are just stupid.
These challenges don't even represent skill more like how much exalted orbs can you bomb on getting them all. This time you need to earn about 2 exalted orbs each day of the league to complete them all most likely.
>>125505129
Was this standard?
Seriously how can people be that bad at this game. Her lightning tendrils don't even deal much damage.
>>125505163
confirmed for RMT challenges
gg GGG
>>125505163
>2 exalted orbs each day
Easy. As soon as youre part if the top 50 you can basically make 5-10ex on a single day without even having major t1 unique drops.
Doesnt change that these challenges arent fun at all. Its mindless zerging for something that holds no value and doesnt translate to direct fun. If I want an achievement to measure the amount of fun I have then I try to go for X MMR in Y competitive game. In an ARPG I want to farm currency and drop it on some item that I then use, so I can run a new build or alter the existing one.
Burning money for shit that is sitting in my stash is not fun at all. At least not to anyone who plays this game for the mechanics, skills, versatility etc. These divination card challenges are literally autism, worse then the fucking unique challenges back when they asked you to get a Kaoms and Shavs even though both selling for 30ex each.
>>125505465
They are really bot / RMT tier. A very tiny amount of players can even generate the currency required for all these challenges. I rather level to 100 than hunting for 10x the last one standing or 10x time-lost relic in hardcore talisman.
Who even does hall of grandmasters in hardcore for the last one standing div cards. And time-lost relic cards are so rare I have an easier time buying a mirror than 10 off these. I ran excavation map like 40 times total and I never seen this card drop, it rarely is up on poe.trade as well. It doesn't help that its a very high tier map as well so not a lot of people run it.
These challenges are just impossible to complete playing only hardcore talisman just because of this 10 set bs and people will start overprice them as there are some people who run 10 bots who have the currency for 2-5x the normal price.
>>125504397
why pub it tho?
solo you can do it much faster, with reduced risk
>>125505901
i didn't feel like running there
>>125481812
So. I'm currently installing this, because I heard the build customization options are pretty huge, on par with AO.
I'm currently thinking of going in blind so I can fuck around exploring the skill tree and building stuff that looks fun. Will I make myself unplayably gimped?
>>125506445
does it matter?
i loathe the challenge system game mechanic it just makes any game feel generic
if challenges were actually a good idea why not organically work them into the game's progression? or how about as a part of end game? nope. here's your list of shitty poorly designed challenges because other games do it so we will too
>>125505849
How do you make 5-10 ex? I played stuff to level 100, that makes me top 100 I think on regular hardcore league and in no way I can make 5-10 ex just using regal recipes and rolling maps. Only if I sell high maps I can make that much but it will be near impossible to sustain without good luck. I don't count getting high map drops as gaining multiple ex per day. Also the investment I put into a map is easily 5~7c
Even with iiq/iir characters I make like an ex a day without tier 1 / tier 2 drops.
Only way to make real bank (20 ex in a day or sometimes even higher for roughly a week or two) in new leagues is rushing for uber atziri especially in hardcore. But only the first few make a good amount of currency off it.
I find challenges like ''kill atziri solo, kill twinned core malachai solo, kill dual kaom solo with -% max resistances'' etc more fun than burn currency on items you can't really farm for yourself. Even doing a challenge for 100 times the regal orb recipe is more fun because it will encourage running a iiq and iir build and has its ways of being pretty easy to get.
I don't really like that the challenges are basically ''get really luck with drops early on''.
>>125506445
Yeah. There's a wall. A noticeable one that, without a well planned passive tree, you won't be able to climb over. But you'll learn from the experience and be better suited for building your next character. If you want to go about it through trial and error go for it.
>>125506445
You can't really respec or make huge sweeping changes to your build unless you plan it in.
Go in blind it'll be more fun, just don't forget defense or you'll get rekt later on, you'll want 150% max hp minimum.

>Only if I sell high maps I can make that much but it will be near impossible to sustain without good luck
You sell maps, drops, everything. Then again, I dont know if thats still possible today. Back in the days you could sell everything. Just shitty ilvl79 whites already made you multiple chaos. Hell, selling a fucking ilvl77+ Vaal Regalia netted you at least 20C. Then again, back then an EX was ~30 Chaos, no 40-60 like they seem nowadays.
Back then it worked and wasnt even that hard. You just had you shop up to date and people literally spammed you for stuff as little as white Rings up to decently rolled rares.
>is rushing for uber atziri especially in hardcore
Excuse me?
>But only the first few make a good amount of currency off it
Excuse me? If you can efficiently farm Uber in a hardcore league you will never not make money. There is never not a market for her items. The hell are you on about? When even was the last time that someone farmed Uber in a HC league? When she came out and had like half the HP she has now and you could just LL Meme toss her?
>burn currency on items you can't really farm for yourself.
Its not about the money. its about the possibility to create a new meta breaking build. Items that enables those tend to be expensive, so it goes hand in hand with spending a lot of money to actually get access to them. If they were cheap I wouldnt mind, at least it would be something new that exploits a bunch load of mechanics.
Thats why Shavs was so great. It was just some expensive item. It enabled a completely new way to play your build while giving you a dozen auras and only peaked as soon as all your shitty slots were mirror worthy rares. What kept you going was the drive for getting access to the item that unlocks the next level and this simply doesnt exist in this league. Its all just meme garbage like Agenord West, that retardedly boring pair of Crit boots etc.
>>125507942
>When even was the last time that someone farmed Uber in a HC league?
See, that's what confuses me. DD lets you farm her in a four link due to the area being a level 80 zone. Yet you rarely see anyone actually make farming her their goal from the start of the league.
>>125508493
If I had to guess I would say thats it boring. With each league there are less and less Normal Atziri Autists who immediately rush her. We are 5 days into Talisman and there are literally 3 fucking Doryanis Belts and not a single Catalyst on the market.
No one farms her anymore because thats what people did for like how long now? 2 entire years? It simply gets boring after a while, and the less people farm Atziri, the less Uber fragments will be available on the market. Which means less and less tries etc.
Atziri was a great fucking concept. A wish they would have added a boss like her once every 1-2 leagues to be completely honest.
Whats the edgiest as fuck naruto tier mtx i can ironically buy?

>>125517432
I made a post on official forums, and also on this one (and a few others on here as well) complaining about this.
The last one standing cards will be like 10 ex end of month in standard softcore (nobody will run hall of grandmasters in regular hardcore for you to complete it) and time-lost relic is so extremely rare that you will never be able to match the botters and RMT'rs botting it.
I doubt more than 50-100 people will even be able to complete this challenge as hall of grandmasters maps are a pain to clear and maps to get and even less people get to do Excavation maps than hall of grandmasters.
These cards have a similar droprate to a Brittle emperor and it takes about 10 hours on a fast clearing build to obtain them. So yeah that challenge will be just impossible.

>>125507942
I meant especially in hardcore leagues as less people do uber in hardcore making the prices higher.
Nobody buys white base items as far as I know, they did last league to figure out some mods but at the moment not really.
I have some decent rares up always but they're only like 5-6 chaos and it takes a huge chunk out of my clear speed picking up rare items, identifying them, dropping / selling bad ones. At least now you can filter the base type so only the good base's show up.
I never found a good rare without crafting it myself.
>>125508964
I think the trio before here was better done than Atziri herself.
Warbands did have a very interesting unique though that I haven't had the chance to try out yet:
http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Broken_Faith
If you run blood rage you can keep the energy shield low. The damage increase would mean you have more dps with a one hander than with a 2 hander even without the unholy might buff.
The item wasn't even required for the challenge last league only those garbage shields, boots and a ring that never dropped.
>>125519657
>no crit
>>125519657
Yeah, I think im better off just farming maps and buying the necks.
The only threatening mod is Bonespire, and it doesnt even do that much.
>>125519978
>better off just farming maps and buying the necks.
why?
I thought the mods weren't threatening, so why not throw tali's in when you come across an altar?
Or are you rolling in SO much loot in your maps that you can't possibly carry 5 amulets?
>>125517432
It's a good thing I don't really like the Rigwald helmet skin because there are only really 21 or so challenges that I can see myself doing.
>>125519978
>this league is boring
>I am opting out of the content
>>125520130
The mods you run into without doing shrines arnt threatening, I thought that was obvious.
The ones that spawn when throwing in your talis are the ones that make it not worth doing.
>>125520306
I just think the challenge should be forced onto you.

>>125521640

Beyond before the fixes was a pretty mediocre league, its in a good spot now though.
Invasion was probably the best job theyve ever done with a HC league. After that we had the highest point for PoE ever with the Invasion+Ambush 1M league.

They never really fixed those archers until they removed shotgunning. Sometimes they spawned with multiple projectiles and would be able to oneshot with damage mods on a map. And those were just a pack of blue mobs.

imo he should switch his start from the spell damage nodes to the mana ones, then grab the mana near templar and give up some damage, so he can have mom
>>125527168
why would he grab MoM when CoD exists though. also Mom only works if he has like 2k-3k mana, and even then he has to run no heralds.
