    It's funny that cyclone is one of the things that feels world's better on console solely due to its targeting limitations.

    I have a buddy that plays D3 that I'm trying to convince to try PoE. He said he likes casters and whirlwind barbarians. I recommended Enki's Arc Witch and a Ngahamu's flame cyclone build. Any other builds you guys would recommend for a new player?

    I was also going to recommend Engineering Eternity videos and Path of Building. Any other resources o think let him know about?

    Also, do we still have room in the guild?

    BV Elementalist. It can do all content and reach 100 (in SSFHC for that matter) and doesn't need anything to get started except for a pair of 1 alc gloves. It can also be easily converted into winter orb if one wants a change.

    Cool, thanks for all of the advice. I'll let him know about the BV builds. I've never gamed with him before so I don't know his play styles. He said that he's started watching some videos of gameplay and is interested. I'll see what he's feeling

    For the love of god though, try to steer them away from trying to do a flicker strike build as one of their first ones.

    Whirlwind CoC BV sounds kind of amusing honestly

    I had an amusing Tectonic Slam cast on melee kill Cremation scion going on Standard. Was very amusing against large packs of creatures but less useful on bosses. Could always weapon swap or just swap a couple gems out for single target damage.

    I'm going cyclone/coc/vortex frostbolt with Cospri's after my loss to the Shaper (got to the third encounter with him on my first run through). Basically just a whirling mass of crit procs and cold DOT.

    I've got the capability of killing him I'm just not in the mood rn, and I've got alt-itis.

    One CoC on the 6l chest, 1 CoC on Cospris, and Frost Bomb on CWDT.

    I mean if you want relative safety first build full screen and boss kill just go ele hit rat totems. Can do MoM or ES relatively easy. It is less expensive now. Or Soulwrest necro. Easy end game. All you have to do is slot soulwrest and a offering and perhaps a bubonic trail. Everything after that is gravy.

    If you really want to help make that D3 to poe transition easier you should buy your friend a currency tab

    playing is so annoying without a currency tab

    I wish I had more tabs. Starting to find room for leveling gear I want to hold on to, stuff I might use in the future/on different characters, stuff to trade, and now a chaos recipe tab is a lot.

    I have a 4X as a recipe tab, 3 stash tabs, 3 sale tabs (2 mass, 1 individually priced), a frag/curr/ess/map tab, a tab just for delve stuff, and a tab for qual skills/jewels/flasks.

  • azith28azith28 Registered User regular
    Can someone explain to me why people are paying so much for beastiary orbs that have certain affixes? I mean i understand that you want certain red beasts so you can do the blood altar for that recipe. However why does it matter what stats are on the red or yellow beasts used in the offering?

    It shouldn't matter in the slightest what stats the beast has, the only thing that matters is what kind of beast it is

    There is an obvious price difference however. I was wondering if it had something to do with the type of item you get from the blood altar? Like it needs a nemesis mod to spawn HH or something?

    Item or boss spawn.

  • RiusRius Globex CEO Nobody ever says ItalyRegistered User regular
    Farric Tiger Alpha is 4ex because that's the beast that opens the portal to Farrul's Lair. For some reason poe.ninja is listing seven Tigers at 4ex, but really it's just one actual listing for Red FTAs.

    You can see the same thing if you filter for Crab, you'll see the red crab for 70c what opens the portal to Craicianns's Lair, and then a bunch of other 70c listings for Crab With Whatever.

    thing to remember about poe.ninja

    the API's list what an item is priced at, and when it is removed from the public API

    so if a 70c item is priced there for 2 weeks, then is removed (either by being sold, or simply moved to a diff tab or repriced) it gets number crunched

    because orbs are like a week old, lots of people are trying diff prices, selling high, buying low, lowballing etc etc

    poe.ninja is valuable, but not the bible

    I do like how frequently I see that the storage tabs are on sale. I haven't purchased any but when I do decide to spend some money on this game I plan on waiting for a storage sale before actually spending the money.

    Tell him that the price of joining PoE is a set of stash tabs for you then.

    I believe they actually put tabs on sale every three weeks.

    There's a high chance I will be doing a mjolner discharge juggernaut next league.

    Not super awful, but it is gear dependent. But I'm also not super mechanics savvy either.

    I wonder if I could rejigger Vaal Double Strike into a CoC bladefall or BV character...

    Depends.

    The one I'm eyeballing is about 8ex minus those stupid expensive jewels, so well within my price range. (Cospris, Carcass Jack, The Pandemonium)

    Some are godawful expensive tho.

    My tree is already dual wield crit, so I'd just need to switch gear/gems to CoC trigger and spells. Maybe I should look at what CoCspin uses...

    Plus CoC (use) is fun to say.

    I'm gonna be using a Cold Coc build.

    Then there's CoC Spin, and I assume CoC Bleed!

    Not to mention CoC Poison and CoC Burn.

    I hear there is an topical ointment for CoC Burn. However, if CoC Bleed last more than 4 hours, you may want to seek medical treatment.

    I just bought some tabs for myself. What I did and recommend is buying a supporter pack. It's like $30 for some visual stuff and $25 worth of points. So for just a few extra bucks you get some cool stuff like a new portal effect.

    people keep talking about how late we are into this league, when is it supposed to end? Isn't it only a month in?

  • BrodyBrody The Watch The First ShoreRegistered User regular
    So it looks like people are doing "Hits can't miss" weapons for CoC builds, but I have the Champion can't miss taunted enemy node.

    Other than that, I think my build is already crit oriented, so Cyclone -> CoC -> Increased Critical Chance -> Bladefall -> Increased area(conc effect) -> Increased Crit Damage and then just a shit load of AS and crit chance?

    1.5 months

    about 50% of players quit in first month

    another 30% quit in second month (which were in rn)

    last month is people getting hype for next league, we'll start getting teasers for it in about 2.5 weeks

    The reason I recommend BV Ele for new players is that if you read through a billion build guide threads on poe website they all have a bunch of posts regarding how their build is dying in T1 maps or can't kill this or that. Except for BV Elementalist (or various Occultist builds which require some CI knowledge). There are zillion great builds but to make them work you have to understand the game. BV Elementalist is really, really, hard to fuck up no matter your game knowledge.
