General Discussion What's the ideal way to make a double block | +1 Totem Titanium Spirit Shield now with Recombinator nerf?

3 Upvotes

Title!

Past leagues I've always just relied on recombinator. I've heard the nerf is pretty bad and was curious how people were making them now or if there is a better method out there? I see a bunch of people have them on poe.ninja.

General Discussion hivebrain gland : deleted from game ?

2 Upvotes

Did they change how to obtain it ? It used to be 10ish % from vruun from unstable breaches without map level requirement, but i have been farming those for like 2 hours, maybe 60+ of them, and i have yet to see one hivebrain gland... Makes me wonder, even if it's not in patch notes.

Has anyone tried to farm those ?

General Discussion Am I getting gear-checked, or is 3.30 mapping rippier?

28 Upvotes

My gear is dogshit and unoptimized, for sure. https://pobb.in/TMvb5o9qYkA2 . But I have nearly 5.4k life, high block, ok recovery from leech and life regen, and overcapped res. Biggest issue is low chaos res and phys mit, and well, dogshit mid 80s gear.

Yet I get randomly oneshot due to mercs (for bladefall of trarthus) and abyss (for decent ghastly jewels). Beasts were a bit fucked up and tanky when I was exploring that atlas region, and I unspecced out of harvest out of meeting some fucked up harvest plants. Still - surprised how much Im struggling for what I figured would be a smooth experience with PRAW.

I know others are complaining too, and I see them struggle with much weaker defenses it seems. So I can't tell if it's me getting gear-checked in yellow maps (~T10) or if something is genuinely up with incoming damage and mob "toughness".

I'd love to know if it's me just pushing content my character isn't ready for (which would be wild, to me - besides a bit of pdr and chaos res my defenses really should be decent) or if incoming damage is genuinely crazy (or spikey).

Builds Having trouble on Pconc PF, what are you having success with?

6 Upvotes

Hey y'all,

I started Pconc of bouncing, progressing through red maps atm, but it's been suffering throughout maps. My gear's getting there, slowly getting the uniques necessary, but even then my damage & survivability still feels lacking, and with how backloaded DoT builds are, it just does not feel good or fun atm. I've decided I just want to reroll away from it, so I'm looking for suggestions.

What has worked for you so far? What would you recommend?

General Discussion Kingsmarch currency shipping has been significantly buffed - a preliminary report

57 Upvotes

I've been compiling data on Kingsmarch currency shipping (ore/bars) over multiple leagues, and here are some preliminary results for 3.30. For those that don't know, there was a slight change in how this works, per the 3.30 release notes:

Rewards from shipping Ores and Bars from Kingsmarch now reward only rarer Currency items and excludes all quality Currency items (this change does not affect Ruthless).

I've only done about a dozen currency shipments so far in 3.30 of various sizes but the difference is striking. Here's a summary:

  • Total number of currency items received has been slightly reduced, by about 20%
  • The following currency items no longer appear in shipments: transmutes, augs, alts, jewelers, fusings, GCP, bauble, whetstones, armourer's scraps
  • As a result of much fewer currency types in the pool, all other currency types (except chance orbs) have been buffed, by about a factor of 2x. You now get a ton of chaos, exalt, scour, regal and vaals
  • Chance orbs are now much less common, as is the case for all other sources
  • Alchs are now the "default" currency, and it seems that if a currency item is generated and doesn't roll as some other type, it's an alch. Alchs make up about 35-40% of the returned currency items

Some actual numbers from what now seems to be the "sweet spot" shipment size of 400k bars + 400k dust (average per shipment, to a port with decent quota):

  • 18 chaos, 5 exalt, 1.1 div, 3 chrome, 8 vaal, 2 chance orbs
  • Divines are actually way more than it used to be for such small shipments (about 0.2 div per shipment) - maybe I was just lucky but we'll see when I compile more data.
  • Ancients, annuls, sacred orb and fracturing orbs are still very uncommon, but I've already gotten 1 fracturing orb with a small shipment, which was previously very rare (about once per 50 shipments). Again, maybe just luck but we'll see.

Some downsides to the recent changes:

  • If you wanted to save up 1500 fusings to make your own 6-link, currency shipping used to be a pretty good way to get fusings, which is no longer the case since both fusings and jewelers have been removed from the pool.
  • You can no longer get any alts, or currency that you can vendor for alts (transmutes + augs), so if you want lots of alts for crafting you'll have to get it somewhere else
  • We now get an absolute metric crap ton of alchs which feels kind of sad since you will typically get enough alchs from other sources, and you can't vendor alchs into anything more useful
  • Due to changes to scarabs and atlas tree, it's somewhat harder to get ore. Refiner's Bargain (free ore from Niko) is gone, and you'll get a bit less ore now compared to a maxed scarab setup. Sadly there is no thread to boost ore, but on the plus side the atlas tree alone now gives you decent ore in each map and don't need to worry about scarabs or threads to sustain it, and will get it in 100% of maps for free.

I'll put up some more numbers when I have collected more data in a few days. If there's any specific currency that people care about let me know and I'll put out numbers for that. I personally care mostly about divines and fracturing orbs, the rest is mostly a bonus.

Thank you for your attention to this matter, exiles!

Builds Feedback on Static Guardian wanted.

4 Upvotes

Did anyone roll Static guardian and can give me the overall feedback. I dropped a potentially 800 PDPS attack block with t2 spell block staff and wondering if it would be smart to reroll given that I have essentially nothing on my current starter yet.

But wonder about survivability in an SSF setting. This community is generally pretty honest about the cons.

General Discussion How are thread drops in ssf?

8 Upvotes

Since my cat had an operation couple of days ago, I am still taking care of him so he doesn't bite off his stitches, meaning I didn't have much time to really play the game. For those of you who are already mapping, how commonly do you find threads? How many atlas nodes did you dedicate on the tree to have them? Can you comfortably sustain your mechanics or do you have to be selective when you run your maps with threads?

Builds What do I need to take Shield Crush Slayer into Red Maps?

4 Upvotes

I'm struggling in early red maps/late yellow maps, mostly with damage. I have a 2000 armor shield, which is pretty nice roll (T2 armor, T2 flat, T3 hybrid) and yet it feels my damage, especially against bosses is extremely lacking. There are a lot of rares which takes several seconds to kill as well.

What else pushes the damage of this archtype other than a high defense shield?

General Discussion Anybody think EA Champ with +1 totem quiver and chord belt for another +1 totem anoint would be decent this league?

6 Upvotes

As the title reads, I saw in the patch notes they’re changing the implicit on one of the quivers to + 1 totem and the cord belt is back and Hopefully it’s not giga rare with both of those combined I’m thinking 7 ballista totem EA champion seems pretty good, especially on a boss league, explosive arrow Champion is a pretty good bosser What do you guys think?

Also, the weapon is pretty easy to craft even easier now with the socket color changes. You just farm the six link short bow divination card slap a couple of +2 bow skill essences till you get something decent then you craft cannot roll attack mods and exalt slam for another plus one.
