For example... 2hd weapon some sort, endurance charge on stun, double strike, vaal immo call into vaal double strike. You gonna kill the boss for sure. If you fail, port out and farm up your charges again, no safe in fighting without them.

For spectral throw, you'll need 12 and 16 souls for cruel and merciless difficulty. Same with double strike, 50% and 100% more for each difficulty.

Is there a way to mute these nerds spamming to sell stuff that I have no idea what it is/does?

You can turn trade chat off, there's a box to check.

hit enter and see the checkboxes at the top of the chat screen

Omg ty so much lolol

It is for sure. It's just standard + optional potentially awesome chests. You could just never click the "Ambush" chests and you're playing standard.

I mentioned this in guild chat earlier but I hate the name "Ambush League" so much it's almost making me lose respect for the PoE devs.

Let's see... there are these chests. That you see from a mile away. That you can totally avoid, and never interact with whatsoever. That are impossible to miss, accidentally click on, or have a monster ever surprise you in any way.

They could have named it "Peanut Butter League" and it would have been better. At least that makes no sense and isn't connected. As it stands, these chests are the exact opposite of anything that could be considered an "ambush."

I hope so, because they look like trash to me, and I would 100% love to be wrong.

Heh...just do what I do and refer it to softcore ladder. I don't think I remember the name of the last league.

The chests are amazing though, lol.

I think it kinda makes sense. The treasure chests are marks and you select the assignment. If anyone gets away then you don't get the bounty.

P.S. the chests are amazing.

Yeah, some of the chests are cool.

I was a bit bummed out earlier - one of the first chests I found had a modifier of "This chest has items increased 2200%(ish) in rarity." I open it, legendary pops out.

Later I find another one with 1900% increased rarity, and get... five whites and a blue.

That chest full of 20% quality gems is bananas. A chest full of 20% weapons or armor is just sort of "Okay, neat, no big deal." A chest full of 20% gems has to be pretty close to the nuts.

Anyone seen a unique strongbox yet?

Edit: Random wiki claims +2000% rarity is the max roll. This is odd, I would have sworn the first one I found was over 2000.

For anybody not already using macros I highly suggest installing them asap. The log out and /oos macro are game changers. It's also extremely easy and fast to set up.

Youtube explanation if what i said is unlcear.

I found a quality gem type chest and they all had good amounts of quality but no 20%'s at all, so that kinda sucks.

Will try to get the oos macro working again. I have not been able to get that or a programmable keyboard key to work in Poe at all, though the macro to check the stats on items vs the range those stats can be works fine, and all the macros work in notepad.

So the itemlevel one works, what about /oos and /remaining? The fastlogout macro might have to be changed so the coordinates match your resolution. For example the coordinates for the logout button are different for me playing at 2560x1600 than someone playing at 1440x1080 or whatever. Use Autoit Window Spy to find the coordinates of your logout button (or return to character selection works just as well).

The only one I tried to get working other than item level was the /oos one. I tried a couple of ahk scripts and a keyboard macro. These work in notepad but do nothing afaict in the game.

Wow now I see why so many people are dying in late cruel / merci.

The a3 cruel invasion bosses are seriously no joke. Dropped to like 100 HP from the leaping poison guy in sewers in about 2 seconds. Had to legitimately use the menu to switch chars.

I now officially fear any invasion boss in a3 cruel+.

I think this DD plan was bad haha, I can't use DD yet and I'm still running decoy+flameblast for tough packs and searing bond for weaker packs. I can't just creep around the edge of screen using flameblast anymore because I'll 1 shot myself vs reflect.

Thats the leaping frog that killed my 64 templar in a3 merc.

Merc sewers no bueno

I don't think anyone will kill Atziri in the Invasion league.

Here's a guy fighting her without dying in standard. He has like 9000+ HP and ridiculous awesome gear in every slot and he still almost dies a bunch of times.



He did it solo which I guess is hardest, maybe with 6 players in a co-ordinated party it's feasible in Invasion, not sure.

yeah that seems impossible for invasion... but dedicated players always surprise me.

I'm sure I'll never get that far, but I still appreciate that it's in the game. I really hope they don't nerf the encounter when the inevitable tide of gamer tears comes pouring in.

I appreciate when a game actually has things in it that you have to be genuinely elite at the game to accomplish.

Also, if you want to hate humanity, read the comments section of that Atziri video.

If a boss cannot be ignited, does that mean searing bond won't do any damage or am I misunderstanding? I'm done.

Ignite =/ burning

K cool. Not that I'll be doing atziri in invasion... ever?

Should I use a support gem with arctic armour?
