Path of Exile 3.24 - Necropolis
- Thread starter Squrf
- Start date
I haven't been struck with inspiration, not a lot to get excited about in the patch notes really.
I'm leaning towards BAMA guardian. I'm interested in the new leech thing in necromancer, but I think at low gear levels you're still gonna get better performance out of guardian.
While self ignite will obviously still be good for that kind of content, it is definitely more of a niche build without affliction stuff. If you want to just afk through sims on a second monitor while working from home, I can definitely see that though. Flask nerf hits the build pretty hard, but on the plus side capping max fire res becomes trivially easy.
I've tried playing blaster characters like lightning arrow before, and I just don't like it. It is very effective, but I do NOT like being glass. I just get too irritated when I die. I know, softcore trade, doesn't really matter, but it still bothers me. Also my wrists probably would give out.
We'll as my roster looks like an old folks home I think I will try tuna's exsanguinate mines. I considered flameblast or Divine Ire prolif totems or of course Arcmage or CoC DD. ..but more old men.
Specters will depend on hat availability.

Am in the queue ready to go. Last time I played on league launch day was a year ago so looking forward to this. Between the unskippable league mechanic and this from the patch notes:
As Mr. Crackhead put it I am going old folks home member storm burst spell totem build.
the campaign should be more interesting than normal. Not sure what GGG thinks will be a fun campaign encounter but my guess is another boss will get the Warden treatment and will show up in an unexpected spot.

I’m pretty sure I’m going SRS poison which looks like it might get 5k instant leech if you take the mastery node which is pretty insane.
Neversink installed.
Now awaiting Vish recommendations.
I was shocked there was no new Juisious and Erikinian last league, here is to hoping for some this league.

Well fuck it, manastacker it is, seems like everyone's gonna do that but with my eternal decision anxiety around starter builds, figuring out something else would probably take until tomorrow anyway.
Relatively smooth start, but the league mechanic felt like it was making things super rippy. Slowest Act 1 with the most deaths in a while. Although that might be due to me never having done a splitting steel start before.
Very rippy start. Did they retune mobs? Is Shadow extra tender?
First time I have ever had Hillock just drop only white trash.. that was nice and that luck is continuing.
And first crash: device not found.

I feel like they made it much easier? this is the first time in I don't know how long where I haven't died by act 2.
Wow, I died 6 times in Act 1 (so far), with 3 of those in mud flats. My Brutus fight was 0 deaths but really awful. Just no mana sustain for SRS and no other real damage. I just ran in circles for like 5 minutes constantly dropping holy flame totem.
Am halfway through Act 5. The campaign changes started out really well but seem to be running out steam.
Act 1
Legion encounter in The Climb by Lioneye flag.
Dweller of the Deep was encased in essence.
Level 1 of the Prison had a rare strong box behind a hidden door, like the Labyrinth dark shrine rooms, the dropped 5 utility flasks.
Ships Graveyard had a pirate chest with a doubled ghosted unique monster who gave me my 1st death of the league.
A good QOL change in Ships Graveyard after getting the All Flame got spit out right next to Captain Fairgraves.
Act 2
Found a corruption alter in the Vaal Ruins.
Ritual in the Northern Forest.
But didn't notice anything in Act 3, Act 4 or so far in Act 5.
Curious if other people saw similar things or if they are random.
I also got a pile of quick silvers and threw them in the guild stash.
I'm noticing using middle mouse butting instead of left is really bringing on the wrist pain.
Has the currency seemed rather low? I'm up to 4 alchs total so far. The streamer I'm watching is totally broke and mapless trying to get into red maps.
And for I think the 2nd time playing this game I went the proper direction in the 2nd area to go find piety.
at 10.5 hours to the start of act 7 this may be the slowest yet. I really need to learn to race the early levels. Though as I hate those levels due to slowness I imagine that will suck.

League mechanic needs work. The potential is there, there's just far too much clunk involved.
Bleed bow glad is a great mapper and better bosser than CF, but very much relies on staying away from packs for survivability. Still on 2 4-links and an Act 7'ish bow in yellow maps but I'm very much pushing the limits on matters.

So will Automation work with Soulrend and Blade Vortex? I'm considering a poison Occultist.
If Automation works on blade blast I'm not sure if that would be a good edition.
You can prolif with Profane Proxy pops right? I'm also considering an ignite prolif Occultist. Though that might just be something that ends up working like a DD build though at 25% of life vs 8%.
Pyroclast mine is working better now that I have the constant pressing of the throw mines button do0wn as I walk around and obliterate everything. This helps when your best resist is ~30% and you are still running 3 socket gloves as the drops blow. I'm going to run out of transmutations soon to make magic white maps.

In case anyone wants to give Necro crafting a go, Grimro made a guide.
tl;rd for me is I can't be fucked with that unless/until someone comes up with a good tool to handle the calculation, excel sheets make me want to die at work, I don't need them in my PoE.
Aside from that, pretty good league start for me so far, nothing remarkable one way or the other, just steady progress into yellow maps for now.
Also, just did uber lab, I actually got two useful crafts from it. One transfigured gem that I actually needed and that's kinda expensive, and 8% qual to my ball lightning. Nothing enormous but better than the usual nothing.

Oh, I thought this was just me.
Yeah, it would also be nice to start in your hideout too but they want you in town to see all the MTX to buy.
Whenever I get disconnected it's three loading screens to get back to where I was (not counting the "log in" time, which is fast most of the time): load town, load hideout, load map. So annoying.
I guess that could be the reason, but it isn't like anybody spends enough time in town to notice or care, other than being annoyed by the sound-making MTXs while still staring at the loading screen. Soon as you load you just hit your /hideout macro.
If this IS the motivation, then it is mostly targeted at people still completing the campaign, since they're the only ones who spend enough time in town to see them. That being the case, loading directly into hideout could be a reward for completing the campaign.
I see more resolution drops from all the flashy MTX in town than I do in the rest of the game. Probably has more to do with the number of players though. That and maybe the MTX visuals not being as optimized for gameplay.
I don't see why they couldn't just load you into whatever non-instanced area you were last in. But of course there's a lot of simple stuff they could do yet don't bother.

Yeah, same. I was really excited to get into this league and had one of my best starts with EA Champ. But, after watching Grimro's video and messing around with it more, it's terrible (at least for me who wants PoE to be a game rather than a complex math problem). Watched Ziz's review of the mechanic as well and agree that most of us plebs can barely craft as it is, so something even more complicated is just not going to be fun. But, at least GGG already has some plans to improve things, but hope they can come up with something that a casual like me can enjoy!
You sound and the increasing size of the graphic MXT. Next league they will be Macy's parade floats that just make endless flatulence noises.
As my map collecting strat is failing because I should have gotten both level boost Atlas nodes right off. Anyone got Spare white maps they could put in the guild map tab?
Arcade
Arsenal
Channel
Crystal Ore
Strand
Fields
Foundry
Moon Temple
Primordial Pool
Atoll
CourtYard
GraveYard
Phantasmagoria
I have been running mostly T2-3 with a few 4s and very few 5s and one 6 for 2 days.
Looking forward to those changes - I'm ignoring the league mechanic since the atlas tree changes are a lot more engaging. Being able to have an XP/progress tree, a slow-farm tree, and eventually a blasting/fast-farm tree to choose between without having to commit enough time to make the respec worth it just because I want to run a few blights/whatever for a change of pace is pretty damn great.
Alva four incursions per map node... still has some value even with unlimited master missions, since each bad room at least removes one from the pool for the rest of that map?
The Alva cursed treasures haven't been obviously great, I'll probably reclaim the points from that wheel for Harvest or something.

If you're looking to 6-link a unique/existing item, there's a huge price difference in using the new Black Morrigan+sand spitter beastcraft (80c+30c, so under 1d) vs. 1500 fusings or omen (~3d ea).
The fight isn't anything crazy, should be trivial if you're able to mostly survive red maps, and guessing if you're fine in yellows it should be fine then as well.

A little behind everyone, just got into A9 and I can't wait to be done with this damn campaign. Every time I'm in town it's a 50% chance that the game freezes on me. Never had it this bad before, I swear it's all these players and their laggy swag.
Derp, looks like skipping most of last season let me forget about Kirac I suppose youtuber complaining about no Kirac missions had me not look to see what he was selling if you didn't do a mission.
That filled in my promotion atlas points so now all is so much better.

If you are in guild there are lots of uniques and maybe 30% run boots that would speed it up in the guild stash..
Patch coming in, it's got a lot of the good shit. Good work GGG.
On a general note, fuck me the game has been stingy this league. No logbooks from expedition, shit drops all around. Could finally afford to buy and 6L my inpusla, but that took a lot longer than I had expected. As per usual delve carries the early red sustain.

Yep! I've been making good use of the random gear that folks have been dropping in there, and contributing some myself. So thank you to all the nameless heroes who've donated to the cause.
Be sure to check the other tabs, not just the <30 tab as there's is some decent mid-game stuff in them too.
At least when it's semi-affordable... I don't think missing Affliction juice explains the current price, especially given there's more Magebloods up for trade/equipped than DoD in either category. Guess it was too much of a "don't die" button to last forever and I'll take rarity over a nerf? @C_MacManus *looks like you ended up going EA champ anyway, so phew?
Patch should be up today. Lots of good changes.
This should help with the "stun" feeling that I and others have gotten, even in town.
