wow just out of curiosity started watching athene, he's explaining why he didn't pick alchemy orb because he doesn't need it and every time you level you can buy new stuff in town (???)

he truly is a dumbass

Yes, corrupting blood, but he didn't try to do anything to stop it, he just clicked attack a bit.

So a summary of Athene: doesn't pick up alchs, doesn't know how to use flasks, his prize character (I assume that's what Krip was talking about in his video today) didn't get past A1 merciless.

yes, he apparently was boosted in all other games he 'succeeded' at prior to poe as well and generally relies on support from his viewers, if you switch on his stream he gets all the gear for free

Lol Athene imo

Sigri, you seem upset

I should probably donate to guild so I'm safe from being kicked for 3 months!

Yea Athene is a fool. Terrible at poker, D3, and LoL as well. His minions just deck him out in every game and he still blows.

not upset, just annoyed by idiocy, why such boring person has so much publicity and so many followers I don't know.

Hes got some moxy bro. Also in the wrestler spectrum of face and heel, he is def heel, which his popularity stems from. EVERYONE hates the french.

he's belgian but it's the same **** I know

He's not boring, and I find him kind of hilarious tbh.

I don't really watch streamers play though. Feels like a waste of my time to watch someone else play. Professional games being casted is another thing though.

sciolist did you ever link your tree?

Damn Belgians. I'm marrying one.

On an unrelated note. When should I start looking for a 5l or 6l item. Like when will I probably never upgrade it?

I was doing some looking around for a 5l weapon but was only successful in finding one that was 3 exalted orbs.

Finding Athene hilarious is such a huge tell

Oh yeh, good job me asking for advice. http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-s...X56PrS_gr-jw== and thinking along the lines of http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-s...ZI-ej60v4K_o8=

Sciolistblog: Did 3 66 maps earlier, my first ever. All easy (though did reroll one quite a lot which I probably didn't need to)

What kind of 5L do you need? I have a 5L 59 dex chest and a 5L 50 bow, both white. I'll sell to you for the bottom of the range.

I mean, I couldn't watch that **** for more than 5 minutes but occasionally something he does is pretty funny

I need a bigger cult following

Dex chest would be cool. I'll look at it and see what's up

RIP Ranger with a death harp thanks to lag spike

Did you plan this build ahead of time? I don't understand why you started as a scion and not as a duelist. Those regen nodes at the scion area are awful, so bad that I'd rather reallocate and take the 3x 18% resists, removing the 6 points you spent on the regen branch. I'm guessing you rely a lot on blood magic and so you picked the life regen for that, but there are less costly ways to deal with skill mana costs than spending 6 points on awful nodes.

if you're planning on getting IR+US, then there is a pathing change you can make that connects US to RT, allowing you to grab a few nice nodes at low cost, replacing the str stat highway you originally took to get to RT.

i had a nightmare where i was basically athene and died in merciless. was not fun.

having dreams about poe is probably not healthy.

just lost a lvl 57 in fetid pools. Not because the mobs were strong or anything though. Generally rhoas can be dangerous, but I died because I had my inventory open while typing to a friend, and I didn't notice I was being attacked (or I possibly desynced, either way I didn't notice).

Not my highest level character but was the character I worked on last couple of days. Painful loss, that could've been avoided by having poe sound on. But playing this game so much makes me absolutely dread hearing the in game sounds, so I just mute them all and play music. Plus fetid pools is dark as ****, otherwise I would have noticed being attacked.

Rhoas hurt in merciless, the group of charges

Yeah you can get dumpstered by rhoas if you don't have unwavering stance, or even if you do... The charge does a ****load of damage. Gotta sidestep avidly.

That's kind of why I feel my ST scion is so OP, both in Nemesis and races... You can manually evade pretty much every attack from enemies but simply moving between spectral throws. In the past couple weeks I've leveled a 1h+Shield Heavy Strike/Ground Slam Marauder to 50, Summoner witch to 49, Melee Splash dual strike duelist to 45, LA Crit ranger to 40ish, FP shadow to ~35, and the ST Scion just blows them all away in terms of damage/being safe ratio. The dual strike duelist has the most clearing power, but seems dangerously squishy. The marauder is very tanky but lacks DPS. The Summoner seems safe until the minions die to Volatile blood or ancestral totems, then you're screwed. The FP is okay with DPS but is dangerous as you can't kite as well and need to be somewhat close range to attack. The ranger is okay from ranged but doesn't do the DPS that ST does.

Spectral Throw confirmed OP.

Running Piety and Dom in normal is a money maker~

And easy as ****

I didn't list a price, I just put "Pay what you think is fair" and people gave me 1 chaos, 20 alts, 2 fusings, 2 alchs. One dude gave me 2 chaos. I think the lowest I received was 10 alts.

Nope, just picked Scion as it was new and changed build half way. Not using blood magic - using two auras and have 100 mana left over, which is fine for 2% leech and 40 cost of infernal blow.
