[SoulTax]

Elemental Weakness from Red maps is Lv15 (-34%). So after beating act10 eventually aim for 109% in brackets.
Monsters can then still apply Frostbite/Conductivity/Flammability which will further reduce your resistance to the specific element. I do not see any specific level noted in the wiki, but expect it to be another -30%~-40%.
A curse removal flask is tops, I would always recommend one.

SoulTax : They set it so the -60% is now removed from the brackets on the defense tab. So you do not have to hit 135% / 169% in brackets. You still have to get those numbers, but the brackets are now also reduced once you go past act5/act10 so after act10 if you see 75% in your defense tab you are sorted.

I know. That was my point. That they always recommended 169% when the debuff was not global. Which equals 109% now that the debuff is global. But I see that it is because of the curse immune flask to prevent any further reductions.

Seems like the current favourites (strawpoll on reddit) for league starter are:
24% - Juggernaut
12% - Heirophant
8% - Deadeye

 

[SoulTax]

Just looking at the Heirophant. And then at the ascendant (Heirophant/Assassin). I think I might want to play the soul mantle DP totem build again. Just not sure which one will end up looking better. I like the extra crit and free poison dmg from the ascendant option. But then how can you ignore the Heirophant buffs. Tough choices now.

Morning

Still no word from GGG on challenge. They posted 12(Mask of some sort) and 24(Wings) and 36(Portal) rewards. Even gave some pics on it.

Are they ready? We had this type of info a week prior when league started.

 

[Ninjatsu]

They said in the same post that they are not showing the challenges before the league starts.
So we have to start playing to see the challenges.
Kinda sucks as I would have liked to see if SSF would be easy enough for 36/40.

What does Vaal actually mean? It's so strange to see it in POE. Transvaal. Vaal Triangle.

The Vaal are the oldest race in Wraeclast

What does Vaal actually mean? It's so strange to see it in POE. Transvaal. Vaal Triangle.

The Vaal are the oldest known race in Wraeclast, almost completely forgotten in modern times[5]. They built the Vaal Ruins that entombed a strange darkness[6], they built the Ancient Pyramid[7], and presumably they also built the Vaal Oversoul, or at least its mechanical frame. A number of the monsters in the Vaal-created areas are called "constructs" (Ancient Construct, Vaal Construct, Serpentine Construct) so presumably they had some biological or thaumaturgical technology. Although the Vaal civilisation was peaceful[8], they practiced human sacrifice[9][10]

Everyone sorted for builds?

I'm considering not going Jugg anymore, but on the other hand I only share one item with what seems like the meta build (oskarms + ahns might) so it may be alright. And I don't even need the oskarms to hit T10 maps... Otherwise BV trickster seems decent (for mapping anyway) or a crit anything champion due to it having a free Lycosidae. Think the last one should have good starter and end game potential (with investment of course)

Decisions decisions

 

[copacetic]

As always, I haven't the foggiest what I am going to do.

 

[WraithFiend]

Everyone sorted for builds?

I wanted to go tectonic strike Juggernaut, using hegemony's staff. But without being able to check the dps scaling in path of building.
I don't think I'll be able to get it up to acceptable levels of clearspeed.

I feel it'll be better for me to play my Deadeye spectral shield build.

I'd rather be fast during the early maps with tailwind buff, and worry about my tanky destroyer char for late game maps


*self promotion lmao, I'll be streaming the launch, so feel free to pop in and say sup. I'll probably play until about 5am... sadly have friend 30th bday commitments on saturday

But why is a New Zealand gaming company using a Dutch name of a river in their game? What is the original meaning of the word?

 

[SabreWolfy]

Duplicate post.

Duplicate post.

 

[Ciferion]

I'm having way too much fun with my pathfinder.
I'm going to stay focused on getting to level 100.
Got 3 more levels to go to place last gem slot then done with all upgrades.
Going to push through T15 beachheads to 100, atm its so damn fast.

Then will have a look at new league

 

[Ninjatsu]

Just got to Lv90? Welcome to the last ±99% of exp need from 1 to 100. Luckily they are bringing Harbinger back tonight as a zana mod so more beachheads to keep you going. Getting to 95 is pretty quick, after that will be a bit slow.

 

[copacetic]

It's no doubt just a coincidence. Perhaps the word just sounded good to them / they made it up unaware it was an existing word.
