Logbooks, which are just blighted maps but for Expedition. It's mostly for getting the relics used for Tujen shopping and Rog crafting. We don't know what mirage-ified ones will drop though. Maybe some new crazy logbooks or new basetypes. Ward rings would be cool.

Poe2 apes too much from d2 in a crude imitation to be truly memorable or good. The story is trite, copy/pasted garbage straight from d2 and the gameplay is some of the worst the genre has to offer. It's modernized animations and graphics sure, but that isn't going to save it from being narratively and spiritually bankrupt

harvest beasts are part of the global pool but they are extremely rare
the vast majority of harvest beasts comes from kirac (pbuh) missions in 3.27, which essentially gives you a single map of the previous einhar memory of harvest beasts
hopefully there will be a random astrolabe mod or something

>everyone gets their gem for free now
They changed the modifier to transform a specific gem into a random alt gem of that base gem to instead let you pick the alt gem you want. The modifier which ISN'T guaranteed and can only show up in Merc or harder. For most any build that wanted an alt gem, this changes almost nothing, since fairly few Gems have more than 1 alt version.
>maven farm
Did they even replace Woke Supports with anything from Maven content specifically? I didn't watch through the whole Q&A, but there was nothing about it in the reveal.

maven chisels are going to be really good money if they still drop in the same stack size
they also reworked the influencing scarab of conversion so you actually need to kill bosses to get guardian maps
>The Influencing Scarab of Conversion has been renamed to the Influencing Scarab of Interference. It no longer grants a chance for maps to drop as Shaper Guardian, Elder Guardian, Conqueror or Unique Synthesised Maps, and now instead spawns a Conqueror, Elder or Shaper Guardian or Synthesis boss to accompany the Map boss. This additional boss is guaranteed to drop a Shaper Guardian, Elder Guardian, Conqueror or Unique Synthesised Map.
no more inventory full of guardian maps from a single blight
it doesnt really have innate synergy with destructive play since maven presumably wont duplicate the extra boss, but it adds some value to boss rushing

maven chisels wont even be used anymore, all map farms are going to be 8mod not only because t17s are gone but because you dont have to look for specific originator maps anymore.
along with the new bisection scarab and chisel nerfs on top of all that i just cant see them being worth using anymore.
although on the flip side exalts being more common and less used to add mods to originator maps means making your own 6mod could be cheaper. will have to see if its worth.
>>

>>558978484
It gives you 8 beasts on the map, like 5 of which are harvest beasts and like 2 are decent. And you need to burn like 30-50 scouting reports to find it.
If you blow 100 white strands with the duplicating scarab you'll end up with like 4 Morrigans, 10 matrons, 6 vivid watchers etc
And here's the other thing Morrigans and frogs are not harvest beasts and they're the most sought after and they never go above 3d for the former. It's beast farmers, you're overestimating the kirac missions.

Very niche use cases for that new catalyst on simplex amulets
Stat stackers? Already can use attribute catalysts and get all 3 covered
+1 skill gems simplex amulets? 1,2 is too small to effect it, will round down even if u have +4 skill gems
>>
Q is multiplicative.
And even if it wasn't, it would still be in practice because Catalysts and stat count altering Jewelry scale different things.
Helical Ring reads:
>50% increased Suffix Modifier magnitudes
So that's a 1.5x before Quality just raw buffs it by 20%.
>>
>>558980215
what the fuck are you on about
the original claim was that the new catalyst makes heist bases useless
it changes nothing in that regard
synth amulets still use attribute catalysts
charge stackers were already using charge stacking synth rings
everyone else still wants a helical or cogwork

Melee isn't bad and hasn't been since the melee rework. Even before then it was okay. After the rework, melee has been great with one issue: You need a good weapon. The thing is that it was easy to get good weapons from Settlers/Gambling, the tree, etc. So if those things did get nerfed too heavily then maybe it will be a bit annoying to play melee this league.

If PoE2 had a proper end game I'd probably like it more than PoE1. However, I want to emphasize that "proper end game" includes things like currency sinks to stop hyper inflation and various fun farms to do. That is NOT happening any time soon so PoE1 > PoE2 probably for at least 12 months.

Yeah PoE2 has those problems too and player power needs to be reduced there, but they're rebuilding the end game cause it sucks.
>>
The hilarious part is that player power is both out of control overpowered AND in a negative death spiral of being complete dogshit at the same time.
Very few skills on a starter are good and none of them are "instadelete everything."
But on a high budget, almost everything can do it, it's just getting to that point is miserable beyond words.
Also, stop comparing what hyperoptimized autists who play this game for a living do compared to the average user. Cause the difference is staggering beyond words.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>558982198
Player power is way too high but balance is also just bad. The top 5% performing skills are like 10000x better than everything below them. Slams were genuinely retarded, especially because the one small issue (a weapon) was just solved by the last few league mechanics.
>>
>>
After slams being fucking trash for like 7 years, I think it's fine they get to have their time in the sun. The fact that you people are whining after three leagues just goes to show that there will never be any pleasing you.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>558982789
Slams will still be fine lol. They did absurd damage and that got cut down but there is more power creep added to the game where you might end up doing like 10-15% less damage or some shit at the end of the day.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>558983001
Strikes are good, it just takes more effort to solve clear. You need to get the extra strike mastery until you get +2 on gloves late game, and might even use ancestral cry or the support. Some strike skills like Smite have built in AoE that helps.
Damage wise strikes have actually been higher DPS than slams, it is just the clear was worse and slams already did more than enough damage.

>Fractured veiled mod
Is that a fractured mod that you unveil so you get a pick of three or just a random one.
Just thinking about this, you could get %attributes on chest (is Hillock-only), spell damage and as extra chaos on wands/spelldaggers, 35% conversion on gloves (very handy for making 60% conversion gloves), dual attributes for STR/INT stacking but that would be outclassed, minimum charge rings, dual chaos resist rings.
Not strictly terrible I suppose.

>>558985743
It's already visible from the footage that it shotguns, the question is only how many shotguns you can get on a target, e.g. whether 2 is the most you can hope for or whether you can get more, especially with conc effect. I don't care for shotgunning myself tho, I'm gonna play it for the coverage.
>>
>>
>>
>>558985743
>People expect it to overlap and shotgun
Do MFs just not know what shotgunning means anymore?
Shotgunning is for projectiles and means "multiple projectiles from the same instance of creating projectiles can hit a single enemy."
Ground-target projectiles are psuedo-shotgunning in that they explode into AoEs when they land, which can naturally multi-hit, which is always a fact of overlapping AoEs.
Overlap is the correct term and encompasses the same meaning. And the answer is "no more than 3 hits, but even that will be a gigantic PITA for aiming, so expect no more than 2 and even then, usually only 1."

the thing with fractured veiled mods is that an item can only have one veiled modifier, so its not that useful if you would usually finish the craft with an unveil.
for example to craft a gg phys wand you fracture a suffix (t1 cast speed from essence), alt spam for +1 all, harvest add remove for +1 phys and then you unveil spell damage. or you can have a kinda shit item and just unveil spell damage anyway. fractured unveiled spell damage isnt very useful for that.
but it would be nice for early progression rings, amulets and belts because you usually dont finish those with a unveil anyway.

It looks kinda cooked in comparison to animate weapon of self reflection right now
It needs some very juicy multiplier to even come close damage wise, let alone compromise for the fact that you have to use the skill yourself and cant just afk with it
>>
>>558992143
>40% increased uptime
Let's say I have a guard skill that has a duration of 10 seconds and a cooldown of 10 seconds. 50% uptime if it goes off every time it's off of cooldown.
Now I have 40% increased cooldown recovery rate. So instead of 10 seconds it comes off of cooldown every 7.143~ seconds. So using it every time off of cooldown is 58.33~% uptime.
That is a 16.67~% increase in uptime. Not 40%.

I think GGG assumes it's gonna be fine, since it scales of your attack speed and also adds your own attack to the damage, which of course is not gonna be enough, but that's generally how GGG balances gimmick skills like that.

Templar has access to an attack mastery just below his start.

Opportunity cost.
While Holy Relic will be better at super early levels, the buffs from AG and Spectres far-outstrips it.

it's because of shit like simplexes/rings and synth implicits. Getting rid of those things would bring all builds back to normal again. Oh and deleting mageblood.
Then we could have an actually balanced and interesting game, but GGG is tied to rmt for profits so they won't do that. They need their mirror item market

Endurance stacker Jugg gets around 300% increased area with reasonable invest. Same for Glad and Slayer. You can push higher but it's probably not worth it, especially since Duelist needs FF to keep up.

Might be an angle where you skip those nodes then (with sufficient gear and levels) and go the reservation route, then you can also skip hatred and just go wrath and anger and skip a phys weapon. Means you can also scale your auras with a juicer helmet

Didn't play since before Maven, so 5 years ago. How far behind Cyclone and Flicker are compared to the metacuck skills these days? Holy Hammer seems dank, so considering it. Also fuck, I might as well be a complete noob at this point, so much new shit to learn that I might as well play and learn rather than studying beforehand.

Cyclone and Flicker are mainstays and have dozens of variants. You've got the simple, basic, hit dudes with weapon versions, but also throwing spells of your choice, flickering to trigger your minions, cycloning in your corner while your stands drop their blood tornados and some weirdos even made cyclone flicker around with trigger spells.

The thing is they didn't "give up" on them because the bloodlines literally have an entire one dedicated to supporting vaal skills.
I think the real issue is just that it is more dev work for really niche shit. I think they often have to choose between making a new vaal skill or new transfigured gems and I think transfigured gems are an objectively superior design. I hate the idea of vaal skills, some kind of ultimate you charge up is lame. I do think the ways people build around them is cool, so I give them credit for that, but I would prefer more transfigured gems instead.

Just played D2 after more than a decade, it is somewhat fun, but holy shit is it cumbersome playing barbarian. You are unbelievably weak compared to others. It's also annoying that you can't drink pots while whirling around. PoE has thankfully changed a lot in comparison.
And I see why they boosted the warlock's damage to give a lot of newcomers a convenient game feel.
Let's see if the new league is enough to bring us back.

Flicker Strike of Power + Holy Relic of Conviction. Your damage comes from minion cooldown so you can take it a bit slower. Though personally I prefer cyclone version because that can run a second 6-link for minion spamming.

The real redpill about D2 is that I played the game a lot as a kid but didn't really understand it much past just killing shit and usually quitting in the middle of nightmare.
I then replayed it and I was shocked by how much of PoE is just a straight up copy of D2.
>Uh bro duh are you retarded?
No, I mean I always knew it was heavily inspired by it but I am pretty sure ever single D2 move has been ported to PoE1. Most of the affixes are so similar it is crazy. On my way to beating hell I just kept coming across all sorts of stuff. From champion/magic monster modifiers, to character skills, to affixes on gear, I was like "Damn, PoE really was just a straight up copy of D2"

To be honest with you, I have massive bags under my eyes that are borderline raccoon tier and I've had them since I was a teen. They never go away even if I am sleeping great or not sleeping at all.
My schizo idea is that I never got glasses until highschool but I had really bad vision since elementary and was constantly squinting. I think that gave me massive bags or something.

It can't be b12 as I drink a lot of it daily. My diet is also very protein heavy so I think my iron should be good.
Magnesium might be it. I have no idea where it comes from so I probably am not getting enough. I might try some supplements.

Bags can come from excessive rubbing of your eyes, which destroys the blood vessels under your eyes. Would you say you're doing it a lot? I know I have to do it to reset my brain when my floaters get too much, so I have massive bags from that.

Oh yeah, I do rub my eyes a lot. It was especially bad when I was younger and needed glasses and didn't have them. Then when I was older my vision had further degraded and my old prescription was bad and I kept rubbing them too. I am gonna keep my fingers away from my eyes if I can help it.

To be honest with you dude, nerfing gambling/shipping/tree is a bigger hit to slams than the numbers. Slams were so good because getting a decent pdps axe was laughably easy and it hard carried you.
Whatever damage you lost can at least be partially made up for with the new power creep. Getting endurance charge on stun on your slam can be like 40% more damage, or fortify is like 10% more + free fort (if you don't have the cluster). You can anoint a belt, etc etc. There are ways for you to make up damage and you'll be fine.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>559006470
based on what they are talking about they want a bigger downside because instant flasks and third ring make the downside a nonissue so i would expect some more downside to that like deleting flasks/tinctures entirely

>So you would need to find a unique with a shit ton of flat for either cold or lightning
No, the point is that you get all your flat from the skill because you get the flat of all 3 elements if you convert them to cold or lightning with Cryogenesis.
You want a high attack speed crit weapon, maybe with pen or other damage stats, with minimal flat.

Shitters will eat this shit up. Anyone decent at the game who mirrors their weapon will feel this cost. Just giving more power to TFT and RMT groups

It's the same situation when ziggyd sourced questions from reddit for last two poo2 qna (notice how he didn't do it this time). The same stupid shit with well known answers gets asked again and again?
Will we get 6 portals? No. Will we get 6 portals? No. Will we get 6 portals? No. Will we get 6 portals? No.
The console crossplay/economy shit is specifically well known for a long time - it's a legal issue and it's likely never happening in poe1.

You already get way, way more than that playing a slayer and can get bleedsplosions from ff/ff
Picking that for exactly 1 node when you'll need to spend 20 points to get to bleed stuff sounds ass.

>>559014987
Because TFT and RMT groups have completely cornered to market
Do you realize that those groups are the only ones with synth mod weightings since those weightings arent provided by GGG so anyone interested in making triple synth items has a disadvantage as they cant properly estimate costs, giving TFT and RMT groups an even bigger advantage
Forget spicy sushi making any mirror items now that vivid vultures only drops from the normal beast pool where its exceptionally rare

>Viper Strike of the Mamba now also has Cannot inflict multiple Poisons in the same Hit, as additional ways to apply multiple Poisons in a single Hit would otherwise have to be significantly weakened for the sake of this Skill. This does not affect the Skill's normal Dual Wielding behaviour, as it causes a single Hit (and therefore applies a single Poison) based on the combined Damage of both weapons.
can someone explain whats going on with mamba that they are panic changing it so much?

with a new ascendancy which causes all added damage to change to a specific type. This means the other 2 elemental types which are normally wasted are added. This changes from a rough average 900 added damage to become 2700 roughly added damage. Pretty much a 3x buff. This is better than mir tier weapons.

why would they be?
the value of chaos is stable because you can use them to roll maps which effectively converts chaos orbs to scarabs, divine orbs and uniques
fuck it you can even roll strongboxes
exalts on the other hand are a currency with very limited use that is directly tied to annuls

Now that its confirmed you can still do 99% reduced proj speed mechanics, Eye of Winter is probably better than Ball Lightning nowadays right? Ball Lightning is one hit every 150ms per cast so roughly 6 hits a second (times the amount of mobs it hits) but Eye of Winter is basically 41 hits per cast.

actually good point, 16.5 wont even be worth trying to roll anymore over just putting in an 8mod t16.
i'll just laugh at all the idiots using chisels and spending 50c every 16.5 map to get effectively half that much back if even.

look through the transcript of the reveal video and search for "nightmare" or "astrolabe" or something
its not a secret. nightmare maps cant be affected by astrolabes because theyre not part of the main atlas or something, theyre in their little cuckshed on the corner. making nightmare maps unaffected by astrolabes is the primary way ggg balanced them to basically only be there for uber frags and boss drops

What the fuck
I'd still advice people to stay away, as someone who used to enjoy it quite a lot. It has tremendously awful scaling and all the enablers it once had are nerfed. The huge buffs to other skills have also left it far, far behind. You're going to jump through a ton of hoops that a good phys weapon paired with a good skill doesn't have to.
(It is super fun though)
>>
>>
>>559020573
consider
I used to cook my own builds, then ggg started to nerf absolutely everything so it went nowhere
it was eventually down to "you get 2-3 special allowed builds of the league" and you can either accept that or get fucked.
they put guardrails on creativity, so wasting braincells on fighting retards who have the keys to nerf everything I do was a waste of time
