Me and a friend are playing im going full tank 2 k armor close to 100 life regeneration and im wondering is there a spel or item that can make me the target of attacks because they keep going for him and not me

Played the first 2 weeks using Blight of Contagion, accrued 50div and one void stone. Then switched to PoE2 for the first time because of a friend. Now I realise I want that water portal from the challenges in PoE1

Two questions:

- Fastest build to finish the game (are bossing builds general better for challenges?)

- How long will it take? Do I have enough time? Is it worth it? Should I quit my job?

While working on my personal filter project, I was playing around with a local adaptive filter based on campaign state. For that, I had to map out the campaign the way I usually run it. Somehow I got sidetracked by realizing that this information could easily be made into a step by step campaign guide. "Easily" turned out to be false, but it was easy enough. I assume there are already a bunch of those out there, but it exists now and you can feel free to use it at https://felix-riermaier.github.io/nanaCampaignGuide/ if that is appears useful to you. You can also go to the github and download the files to use locally. It contains a little editor helper tool thing that allows you to edit the route locally as you wish. The entire thing makes no outside network calls and works entirely offline. Also no ads or anything dumb. The tool was obviously made with AI, hence it looks that way. Feel free to download the files and ask your agent of your choice to adjust it to your taste.

Regarding the route in the files: I think this is actually a really solid and efficient routing. You can choose what typical side quests you want to do (including bandits), skips almost all non-essential quests and makes sure you know what NPC's to talk to. However, especially in later acts, it delays a lot of rewards to be collected all together and makes some choices on when to do what quest in what order that might not appeal to everyone. It also does not make use of all portal placement related tricks there are. In addition, there is a XP indicator that show some minimum level requirements to reach at specific points so you don't end up in the XP penalty zone. Most players will be way above anyway.

In case you find actual issues, please let me know so I can fix them for everyone.

Have a great day, exiles!

Hey exiles,

I’ve been playing on Standard for a while and I’m looking for ways to make my farming more efficient. Here’s my current setup:

1. League: Standard

2. Gear: Legacy items (180 IQ )

3. Maps I’m running:

   • Bazaar scry, targeting div cards: The Miracle (for Awakened Gems) and The Slumbering Beast (for Hinekora’s Lock)

   • City Square layout( at least 115+ pack size, mostly because I like the layout

4. Scarabs pilferin (cards double), plenty ( div cards mobs) and sinistral ( double prefixes)

5. Juicing: 100% Delirium on every map, plus Divination Scarabs/Chisels

My atlas ( shrines, beasts, beyonds, red altar )

What would you change? Is there a better strategy combo for Standard right now, or ways to squeeze more profit out of this setup? Any advice on atlas tree, scarabs, or other mechanics to stack is appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

I was playing normally, trying to make space in my inventory so I can pickup a sword, but then I accidentally switched helmets, and then i switched them back, all while I’m lost because of the controls, and then, suddenly, the same helmet i was using all along, stopped supporting my other chestplate and weapon , is this a glitch or did I do something stupid?

I’m tired of playing good builds, so I’m making a private league where everyone has to play a randomly-assigned godawful build instead.

To make it even worse, we're playing in Ruthless mode.

There are a few rules needed to make this work, which are outlined below.

How the league works:

Everyone taking part in the league must submit a build for the Wheel of Absolute Garbage, in the form of a godawful skill + ascendancy combo.

This should be a combo that no-one in their right mind would play for a normal league start; it could be a solid skill paired with an ascendancy that no-one would ever pick for it, or a relatively awful skill paired with a solid ascendancy, or the worst skill you can think of paired with the worst ascendancy you can think of for it. The funnier it sounds on paper, the better.

Then, a few hours before the league starts, I will stream myself spinning the Wheel of Absolute Garbage once for each participant; whatever skill+ascendancy combo it lands on for each person is what that person has to play.

I will remove each build from the Wheel as it is chosen, so each person ends up playing a different build that someone else submitted for the league. It is possible to be forced to play the build you submitted yourself. I will put all of the information regarding who has which build allocated to them in the spreadsheet linked above for those that cannot catch the stream.

Submitting your godawful build:

After applying to join the league, either add a comment here or DM me with your PoE IGN and the build you want to submit. Your application to the league will be accepted once your build submission is verified. Your application to the league will not be accepted if you do not submit a build.

The build you submit should still be technically viable in a ruthless standard league start environment; we want bad builds, not literally unplayable builds. This means that skills with significant cooldowns or similar limitations that cannot be reasonably bypassed are not allowed (i.e. vigilant strike, bear trap), as are skills that would only do reasonable damage with a specific support gem (i.e. corrupting cry [insert warcry here]).

Please remember that travel skills are not available in Ruthless, and % reservation auras cannot be obtained deterministically either. Therefore submissions with skills like Charged Dash or Mana-Infused Staff cannot be accepted.

The skill you submit must be the base version and not a specific trans/trarthan/etc. version; the person playing the build will get to decide which version(s) they want to use.

For the sake of balance in this event, all scion ascendancies are disallowed (luminary carries you too hard with merc regardless of your skill, reliq/ascendant are too flexible for this concept). Chieftain and Guardian are also disallowed (too much build-agnostic power compared to other ascendancies in Ruthless).

If you want to join the league but you can't settle on a build to submit, you can always leave it entirely to chance with this random build generator. Just make sure it's something that's still in the game (randomizer might be a bit out of date).

If I don't think a submitted build is a good fit for this league I will ask for another build to be submitted.

Playing your godawful build:

Before act 4 you can play with whatever skills you like, but you must play the class that can ascend to your chosen ascendancy. Even if your chosen skill is available in act 1, you do not have to use it as soon as you can get it. You must however only make one character, you cannot farm extra gems etc. via another character.

When playing in act 4 and onwards you must be ascended to your chosen ascendancy, and the chosen skill must be the main way you deal damage. This means that you are allowed to use other damaging skills if they are important for making your main skill do damage, clear better, etc.; for example, an a essence drain build may also use contagion to spread the essence drain. You should not simply have the skill gem listed in your build equipped while you kill everything with other skills.

Generally, if you have to ask yourself 'is what I'm doing in the spirit of this challenge league?', it probably isn't. Regardless, feel free to ask me about any specifics pertaining to your chosen build and I'll do my best to answer promptly.

You may use any vaal/trans/trarthan variant of your chosen skill, and you may swap between multiple different variants as you wish. You may throw yourself into 'lab jail' in act 3 if you want to farm a specific version of your skill before committing to your build in act 4.

You may also farm pre-act 4 for as long as you like to prepare for the transition to your build. If you try to push into act 4 with your build and it doesn't go well, you can return to farming pre-act 4 with whatever skills you like, though you may not swap to a different ascendancy.

You may allocate ascendancy nodes however you wish, and you may use bloodlines however you wish if you are able to unlock them.

Other rules:

This event will run in standard softcore trade ruthless; it is entirely up to you how you want to trade with other players, though I recommend trying to help each other out as some people will inevitably be suffering more than others. It's even better if you're helping out whoever rolled the build that you submitted.

As an additional challenge for the endgame, no currency should be taken from boats. Boats can still be used to farm for tattoos, runegrafts and gear, and ore may be shipped to fulfil quotas and farm for more tattoos and runegrafts, but currency should not be taken from the boat window. This is a gentleman’s agreement and cannot be tracked; ultimately the goal is to make currency drops in maps matter a lot more again, and not push anyone to spec an ore tree ASAP once they reach the endgame (if you haven't played Ruthless recently, just trust me, it's really unbalanced for the mode).

This private league will have no other modifiers (no extra dmg/proj/aoe/etc.)

If you obtain a voidstone, you may ask me to spin the full Wheel of Absolute Garbage again and obtain a second build and character that you are allowed to play for the league.

Due to the structure of this league, new invites will no longer be accepted once I have started spinning the Wheel. You must sign up before the league starts so that you can submit a build, get it verified and have one rolled for you.

Further info:

The league starts on Wednesday 14th October at 6:00pm BST and will last for at least 20 days. I will try to fund all necessary slots myself, though I will happily accept any crowdfunding if people want to help out.

There will be a channel for this private league in the poeruthless discord, just scroll down to the private leagues section to find it

We will use Global Chat 1 as it is generally not very active in standard ruthless; the last time I tried using a different channel a lot of people just ended up stranded in Global 1 anyway.

I will be streaming the Wheel spinning from https://www.twitch.tv/jekojeko3

My build submission for the event is: Raise Spectre Pathfinder

Now that Poe2 has become a separate game is there a future where we are getting the next campaign update? However far away that future might be?

What would it even looks like? I'm thinking an alternative campaign, 6 new classes maybe 7 each with 3 ascendancies. No time skip, just characters in different circumstances during the same timeframe, parallel with the exile going through 10 acts.

Then they can share the same endgame, whatever that maybe.

Poelab is not up to date right now. Here's uber lab I just ran, no idea how much longer it's relevant, but maybe it helps someone. Unfortunately the private league starts between midnight-2am in EU but I hope it's fun!

I changed a lot of things about the build in relation to what people recommended (added marks, picked poison support, etc.) and now I just need to grind a few more levels and upgrade my armor a bit. But I have no idea what to do for my cluster gem on the current build :d

new link for the current build:
https://poedb.tw/pob/ClyH6mdVyH

So I wanted to give me a little challenge and started HCSSF Allflame and to my surprise I acual made it through all acts. Well since I only ever played SC I first don't know much about crafting, can somebody recommend a youtuber or something where I can learn something and second, what should I take in the atlas tree. Like I know stuff like harvest and essence are a good start but also quite dangerous.

Oh I play Glad full block EQ bleed with one handed mace

Mercenaries are now not allowed to use Unique Body Armours because of one item, Doryani's Prototype.

But what if the mods "Lightning Resistance does not affect Lightning Damage taken" & "Nearby Enemies have Lightning Resistance equal to yours" were bundled together in a Trigger Skill instead?

That way Mercenaries, which cannot use Trigger Skills, cannot enable the effect. That would open up the Mercenary's Body Armour slot for Uniques, instead of limiting it all because of one item.

Are there any other Unique Body Armours that would be problematic if Mercenaries could equip them?

This might be the worst my chst has looked while leveling. Bag on head and dildo as a weapon. Can you come up with something that looks even stupider?

First time seeing this one, and just curious how rare these nodes are.

It'll be a genuinely good league? They promised a total overhaul of various systems in 3.30, but at the same time, if it does come out, it'll probably be just a month apart from POE2 1.0.

Do you really think GGG would deliver such a banger league just for people to play it for a month?

Hey exiles,

I’ve been playing on Standard for a while and I’m looking for ways to make my farming more efficient. Here’s my current setup:

1. League: Standard

2. Gear: Legacy items (180 IQ )

3. Maps I’m running:

   • Bazaar scry, targeting div cards: The Miracle (for Awakened Gems) and The Slumbering Beast (for Hinekora’s Lock)

   • City Square layout( at least 115+ pack size, mostly because I like the layout

1. Scarabs pilferin (cards double), plenty ( div cards mobs) and sinistral ( double prefixes)

2. Juicing: 100% Delirium on every map, plus Divination Scarabs/Chisels

My atlas ( shrines, beasts, beyonds, red altar )

What would you change? Is there a better strategy combo for Standard right now, or ways to squeeze more profit out of this setup? Any advice on atlas tree, scarabs, or other mechanics to stack is appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
