It's definitely been nerfed. Less hits/sec = less leech. Flask changes also hit that build. I don't think it will be able to face tank all the bosses while /afk

I've seen it do Uber Atziri with +3 bow. I've played it myself into the 70s and then switched to Animate Weapons and it was great last league.

Flameblast totems are much easier to start with. They're pretty LOLtastic at how well you can level with them.

I don't think Spark or Vaal Spark is great in maps besides clearing fast. Like if your goal is to get to Red Maps I would advise against it since they're not really single target skills.

i think you,re right the math people did was for absolute dps, which i think is a 5% buff to the dmg, but it makes leeching worse I believe.

Awesome, thanks -- I think I'll start with flameblast; I've been wanting to try totems at some point anyway.

dx11 is broken too now?

dont even have the option to open with it

You can change to dx11 in the Graphics options now.

cool thx

Doh! Got on, made a character, then closed it by accident. Back queuing again.

I'm 'ThreeAmigos' if anyone wants to add me.

i got tabula rasa on brutus LMAO

and i traded currency for the first drillneck of the season on poe.trade

G G

Wow nice one. All I've managed is a couple of chaos so far

Considering the amount of time I've levelled characters, I'm embarrassing slow. Seems like any half complicated area I get lost, and end up exploring the whole damn thing.

I remember getting Tabula Rasa from Brutus too. In my case it was mildly infuriating since it happened in an one hour race.

think i gotta be one of the richest guys right now in the first 24 hours of this patch.

(as a ranger)

got a tabula, a rat's nest, 5 linked queen of the forest (linked it with prophecy i bought), drillneck, snakebite, and plenty of currencies in the bank.


it's been a good day of trading (and getting super lucky finding... two ex ... sorry robik)

God damn Kirby. That was like 6 weeks for me last season. You did it in hours.

Kirby is there a game/sport you suck at?

Competitive child birthing.

true i dont have vajine

ps: just bought this for 74c

pretty sure its worth a lot more



(every stat except HP and implicit can be negative)

im not an expert on the item but im using it anyway even if its not worth astronomically very much like

it's hard to beat that roll, you might have to wait a week or two for people to gather wealth to pay for it appropriately

this ring used to be really rare a few leagues ago too so it cost a bit even with **** rolls.

I'm taking credit for Kirby's interest in the game for hooking him up when he first started with leveling gear. Lol.

I decided on a Whispering Ice Inquisitor build for this season. Really wanted to do a CI build as I've never done one before and I got sick and tired of life builds last season(tried armor and evasion and felt weak in both).

Just waiting for those staffs to drop to a couple C before really getting into the game as I know it sucks leveling without one. Should probably drop by tomorrow as they already dropped from 15c this morning to 8c now.

sorry for bad englando going on over 24 hours now

i iz riching

tabula was my first item from needle :O)

I didn't play essence league. Anyone got any tips on how to optimally use them?

I can myself just hoarding them.

use the low levels all the time while leveling fi u need some rare gear here and there

high level ones only a few are worth something (woes mostly, and then the corrupted ones are worth a ton)

Well I definitely f'd up on launch day -- I made some last second changes to my build plan, and then I got distracted by blade flurry, and ultimately my leveling went SUPER slow. I should have just stuck to the FB totem plan.

Ultimately I ended up switching back to FB totems and redo-ing a bunch of skills on my tree; things are better now, but I definitely should have been further along in mapping and whatnot.

I've got a fairly good ES pool (which is what I'm trying to build toward) at something like 5500, and a health pool at around 1800 right now. That said, I still find myself getting absolutely wrecked on breaches in low level maps, or even just rare maps at t2-t3. I'm res-capped, but maybe my armor/evasion is too low? Is it best to try for both ES & evasion?

Could someone buy me a Conc. Effect please? I'll throw in an extra alc for the trouble.
