Wish we knew what Fire Exposure really meant and how it factored into dmg calculations Posted by Themasterofw on Mar 6, , PM. Proper wall of text : Read it all, as per usual. Good stuff, specially having mods that you haven't got yet be greyed out in the bench menu. Also the mods showing correct tiers now. Quit after Legion, rejoined PoE to see what the game's like now in 3. Posted by Paldamus on Mar 6, , PM.

Microtransaction Hideouts can also be purchased to be used for a Guild Hideout from donated Guild Points. Note: Microtransaction Hideouts purchased for Personal Hideouts do not grant the ability to use them as Guild Hideouts. Hideout Improvements In addition to the Guild improvements noted above, we've also made improvements to Hideouts in Path of Exile: Scourge.
If a Hideout closes with portals still open, it no longer prevents access to the Map. Instead, whenever a player joins a Hideout or Guild Hideout, any previously opened portals are reopened if the destination Map still exists. Map Portals to empty Map instances will not expire so long as the Map owner remains in either their Hideout or Guild Hideout.
The Master Level and Favour systems have been removed entirely. You now have unlimited access to a range of Hideout Decorations through the Decorations Tab in both Personal and Guild Hideouts excluding purchased Microtransaction Hideout Decorations. The Watchstone Modifier that granted increased Master Favour gained can no longer roll. Existing Watchstones with this Modifier will still exist, but will do nothing. These Maps can be obtained by completing high tier Blighted Maps, and can be Anointed up to 9 times with a maximum of 3 Oils of the same type.
Monsters within these Maps both move faster and have substantially more life than those found within Blighted Maps. Unrelenting Timeless Emblems provide improved rewards, with Monsters gaining challenging modifiers each time they are revived.
Many Legion Monsters have had the maximum distance they are able to use their long-ranged skills reduced, or can no longer use their long-ranged skills against other Legion Monsters. Added new Flawless Breachstones which are more challenging, and thus more rewarding, than other kinds of Breachstones.
Breach Domain Areas now have additional random Modifiers, with Areas opened from Flawless Breachstone having four additional random Modifiers. Loot accumulated from killing Monsters in Breach Domains now drops upon reaching the Boss Arena Portal, instead of dropping throughout the encounter.
Added 10 additional waves to the Simulacrum, it now has a total of 30 waves. As you can expect, these extremely difficult extra waves are very rewarding and feature escalating chances for a Delirium boss to spawn. With each wave you play, the Simulacrum now has an increasing chance of dropping cluster jewels, and past wave 20, Delirium unique items. The drop rate of Delirium Orbs from Delirium encounters has also been increased.
The number of obtainable Watchstones has been reduced to 16 previously 32 , and there are now Maps on the Atlas previously The unlock requirements for Zana's Map Device options have been reduced, relative to the decrease in number of Maps on the Atlas.
Each bonus objective you complete now increases the chance for Maps to drop one tier higher by 1. Map tiers and locations have been shuffled. Most maps are now initially found at a different tier. Item Base Types specific to the Atlas have had their drop regions updated, with some being shuffled to other regions. Atlas Rings now drop in Tier 11 or higher Maps previously Tier 6 or higher.
The option for Maven to release all Bosses at once is now a Modifier found on Maven Invitations, and will no longer occur unless you open an Invitation with this Modifier. Some of the Map Bosses you are required to defeat to upgrade your Pantheon have changed as a result of these Atlas changes. Crafting Recipes that were previously unlocked in Maps that have been removed are now found within other Maps currently on the Atlas. The Army of Blood can now drop in Poorjoy's Asylum.
Time-Lost Relic can now be found in Expedition Logbooks. The Jester can now drop from Ash Lessard. Vinia's Token can now drop in the Palace Map. The Drunken Aristocrat can now drop in the Laboratory Map. The Chains that Bind can now drop in the Dungeon Map.
The Thaumaturgist can now drop in the Alleyways Map. The Dapper Prodigy can now drop in the Palace Map. The Tyrant can now drop in the Primordial Blocks Map. The Undaunted can now drop in the Conservatory Map. The Messenger can now drop in the Port Map. Baited Expectations can now drop in the Dry Sea Map.
The Academic can now drop in the Museum Map. Unchained can now drop in the Dungeon Map. The Unexpected Prize can now drop in the Palace Map. Cursed Words can now drop in the Cemetery Map. The Journalist can now drop in the Haunted Mansion Map. The Enthusiasts can now drop in the Museum Map. The Master can now drop in the Lair Map. More is Never Enough can now drop in the Vault Map. The Offspring can now drop in the Stagnation Map. The Golden Era can now drop in the Basilica Map.
Brotherhood in Exile can now drop in the Chateau Map. Atlas Passive Changes Some Atlas Passives have been removed as a result of the number of Atlas Regions changing, while others have been moved to another Region. Epidemiology no longer provides "Blighted Maps found in Areas are Anointed".
Delve Changes Problem: The current state of Delve leaves players having to spend a huge amount of time playing through relatively easy content in order to reach content that is more challenging and rewarding.
Delve doesn't sufficiently reward this time investment. Solution: Make Delve difficulty and rewards scale much more quickly with Depth. Grant high level players immediate access to harder Delve content. Make a number of changes to the rewards, difficulty and monster mechanics of Delve content to make it more challenging and rewarding. Specifics: Spoiler. The difficulty of Delve encounters now scales much faster. The difficulty of encounters at depth is now roughly equivalent to the previous difficulty of depth 1, encounters.
Depth 1, encounters are now roughly equivalent to the previous difficulty of depth 6, encounters. The availability of rewards from Delve also now scales much faster, with the intention that progressing deeper into the Azurite Mine is more rewarding than equivalent depths previously were. For example, depth is now more rewarding than depth 1, was previously. As a result of these changes, the Azurite Mine has been reset in Permanent Leagues.
Niko has drilled a mineshaft to the deepest level Delve encounter previously completed in that league to pick up where you left off.
This change does not affect gathered Azurite or Sulphite, or upgrades you have purchased at the Voltaxic Generator. Previously-acquired Delve depth and solo depth has been wiped from the Permanent League ladders. To get back on the ladder, just keep playing Delve from whatever level you can handle.
City Biomes in the Azurite Mine are now more common and can appear in earlier depths, but are now smaller on average. City Biomes can no longer spawn without Delve nodes. We've also introduced new Delve Biome modifiers, and allowed Delve Biome modifiers to spawn below depth 6, The Area Level of the Azurite Mine now scales slightly faster, reaching Area Level 83 at depth previously depth Delve encounters now contain fewer chests, though each chest is now more likely to drop interesting rewards.
Fossils and Resonators are now more commonly found within Delve, and less commonly found from other sources. Increased the base Sulphite Capacity to 1, previously , scaling up to 6, Capacity after six upgrades unchanged. Alchemical Resonators are no longer purchasable from Niko, and can no longer be obtained from chests or any other sources.
Existing Alchemical Resonators will still function as usual. Encrusted Fossils have been renamed to Fundamental Fossils, which now grant more Attribute Modifiers, and no Critical Modifiers previously granted more Sockets, with the possibility of White Sockets. Tangled Fossils now makes a random Modifier type much more likely, and prevents another random modifier type previously granted any Fossil modifiers. The effects are fully revealed once a Resonator is fully Socketed. Labyrinth Changes Problem: Finding all six Trials of Ascendancy often took a very large number of maps.
Assuming players were playing alone, it averaged to around maps to find them all, but could be much more if players were unlucky. By this point, players were often over-levelled for the content and were starting to encounter difficult-enough endgame content where the extra Ascendancy skills were sorely needed. This problem would be further exacerbated by the reduction in Atlas size taking place in the Scourge expansion.
We recently added a means to open random Trials of Ascendancy in the Map Device by consuming an Offering to the Goddess. While this made finding all the trials easier, it often felt lossy as it required you to sacrifice something of value. You could have used that to run an Eternal Labyrinth for more enchantment opportunities and Labyrinth reward chests.
Solution: In Path of Exile: Scourge, you'll no longer need to complete all of the Trials of Ascendancy found in maps in order to access the Eternal Labyrinth. You'll simply need to travel to the Labyrinth, paying one Offering to the Goddess. Accessing the Eternal Labyrinth no longer requires the completion of Trials of Ascendancy found in Maps, only the completion of previous Labyrinths.
It still costs one Offering to the Goddess to access. The Eternal Labyrinth now requires a Character Level of 68 to access previously Trials of Ascendancy can no longer spawn in White Maps, and the ability to consume an Offering to the Goddess in the Map Device to open portals to a random Trial of Ascendancy has been removed. Ailment Mitigation Problem: In 3. Solution: Introduce a large number of options and improve existing options for characters to deal with Ailments.
Characters should now be able to pick between reservation skills that mitigate ailments, remove effects reactively with life or mana flasks, gain immunity at a cost through Utility Flasks, or use improved modifiers on items and the passive skill tree to mitigate ailments and curses. Steelskin: Now has "Buff grants Immunity to Bleeding". Utility Flasks now have modifiers that grant Immunity to an Ailment during Flask Effect but lessen the duration of the Flask.
This takes the place of the modifiers that give a specific Ailment Immunity if used while the Ailment is active. New tiers of the modifiers that give Immunity to an Ailment if used while the Ailment is active have been added to Life and Mana flasks, providing up to 17 seconds of Immunity at the highest tier. A rebalance to Passive clusters that provide Ailment protection, as well as new passives across the passive tree.
Between the Templar and Witch, Asylum now grants Chaos Resistance as well as protecting against Curses instead of increasing Consecrated Ground effect. New Keystone Passive Skill added to the centre of the tree that causes intelligence to provide no inherent bonus to Energy Shield, but instead reduces elemental ailment duration on you.
Many Pantheon Powers have been updated to better mitigate Ailments. Some Pantheon modifiers have been updated to be more of a choice with others. The crafting bench version of this modifier has been updated accordingly.
The new Belt crafting bench option is unlocked with other reduced Damage over Time crafting options. This unlock was in the Incursion Temple but is now found in a Map. The remaining new crafting options are unlocked alongside other Ailment, Stun and Curse Mitigation crafting options in The Ascent in Act 4. The modifier level of existing modifiers in the Rank 1 Ailment, Stun and Curse Mitigation category have been lowered so the item level requirement of the item is appropriate if you use this craft during the campaign.
Updated certain Rare item modifiers, and added some new ones. Lower tier modifiers have been adjusted accordingly. Elevated modifiers have been adjusted accordingly. This affects existing versions of this item.
Existing versions of this item can be updated to the new values with a Divine Orb. Existing versions of this item can be updated with a Divine Orb. Solution: Added new modifiers to Life and Mana Flasks that are impactful but brief, and have a Duration rather than applying during Flask Effect. Added new modifiers to Utility Flasks for mitigating Ailments as well as adding more tiers to existing modifiers that are now only found on Life and Mana Flasks, as noted above. Gold and Iron Flasks now last 5 seconds previously 3.
Bismuth Flask now lasts 8. Amethyst Flask now lasts 6. Existing modifiers will be unaffected. Added more tiers to Belt modifiers that affect Flasks, resulting in buffs to most modifiers, most notably Life and Mana recovery modifiers. There is now a limit of 1 for these Survival Jewels. Existing items can be updated using a Divine Orb. Added new sources of life and mana flasks gaining charges every 3 seconds and Life Flasks gaining Charges when you Suppress Spell Damage.
Core Character Defences and Recovery We are doing a major balance pass to improve defences and recovery for all characters. The goal here is to put more power into the core defences Armour, Evasion and Energy Shield to make them the best way to mitigate the kind of damage they are best at preventing, while taking some of that power away from the one-off mechanics that provide a significant defence for too low a cost.
While some individual mechanics have been nerfed, this is overall a massive buff to defenses across the board. Previously, there were some very tanky characters, but they were gated behind specific niche mechanics and uniques that were not accessible to everyone.
What we're doing here is moving a lot of that power to everyone else, so that core defenses are far more powerful than they were before. We're also making sure that every type of character has plenty of ways to mitigate a much more diverse set of damage types.
For example, Evasion mitigates Attacks well, so we're introducing Spell Suppression to help Evasion builds protect themselves against Spells. Overarching Problem: Dodge and Blind provide more mitigation for fewer passive points and item slots than any other defence type. Attack Dodge does this in a form that is almost identical to Evasion but is far more efficient. Overarching Goal: Remove Dodge entirely and review certain powerful mechanics like Blind and Fortify for non-melee characters. Improve almost every other scalable defence type significantly to make them more powerful.
Problem: Armour as a core stat doesn't provide sufficient defence with low to medium investment. Armour characters instead rely on a number of other mechanics to provide them with the defence against Physical Damage that Armour is meant to provide. Solution: Improve the Armour formula so that Armour is more powerful, providing better mitigation across the board, and increase the strength of modifiers on items that add base local Armour.
As an example, if you want to mitigate a 5, hit down to 2,, you used to need 50, Armour to do this. Now you only need 25, Armour. Increased the strength of modifiers on gear that add base local Armour, and added a smoother progression of tiers as they were currently very low until the highest tier, and had some levels where there was no new tier for a large number of levels.
This will on average result in items with higher Armour on them, especially during the Campaign and early maps, and make it much more affordable to reach decent Armour values. Grants up to Armour at level 20 of Determination. Crafted modifiers have also been added. Additional Physical Damage Reduction mods were discontinued from all other rare modifiers so that large values could be provided on the above two slots. This works as a multiplier to your Life Regeneration value.
Monster base Armour has been reviewed as a result of changes to the Armour formula, and has been slightly decreased. Improve the Evasion formula to grant more chance to evade for all values of Evasion Rating. You will only need 24, Evasion Rating after this change. You will only need 12, Evasion Rating after this change.
You will only need 8, Evasion Rating after this change. You will only need 4, Evasion Rating after this change. You will only need 3, Evasion Rating after this change. You will only need 1, Evasion Rating after this change. Increase modifiers on gear that add base local Evasion Rating, and smooth the progression of tiers as they were currently very low until the highest tier.
This will on average result in items with higher evasion on them, especially during the campaign and early maps, and make it much more affordable to reach decent Evasion values. Update Crafted modifiers to similar values and make them available earlier in the campaign. Reworked Evasion passives. Adjusted monster base Evasion and Minion Accuracy to compensate for changes to the evasion formula. Monsters with abilities that always hit have been reviewed as a result of the removal of Dodge.
Spell Suppression is designed as the Dexterity character's best answer to spells. In general, Spell Suppression gives easier access and more reliable spell damage mitigation for Dexterity characters without reliance on specific uniques. It's also much more reliable than Spell Dodge, but has a lower maximum. There will be a few specialised ways to invest in increasing the spell damage suppressed to reward high investment if you want to further protect yourself from spell hits.
New Suffix modifiers have also been added to all Evasion Armours that can roll modifiers that grant a chance to Suppress Spell Damage. Body Armours and Shields in particular can roll larger values of these modifiers.
Additional chance to Evade modifiers were discontinued from all Rare modifiers, passives and Pantheon powers as their values were generally too low or felt out of place and so that Vaal Grace could provide a very large value of this stat. Change Wind Dancer to further improve high Evasion builds rather than reducing Evade chance, but making it riskier if you're not Evading attacks a lot. It has no interaction with Spells now, to focus its interaction on Evasion.
Acrobatics has been redesigned. The intention is that Acrobatics is the only source in the entire game for Spell Dodge, for characters who would like to benefit from that playstyle still. Now grants Acrobatics instead of Phase Acrobatics. Existing items can be updated with a Divine Orb.
A Divine Orb can be used to update the Life Recovery value. This change affects existing items. A Blessed Orb can be used on existing items to obtain this new value. No longer grants Dodge, this affects existing items.
Existing items can update the increased Armour and Evasion values using a Divine Orb. This affects existing items.
Phase Acrobatics no longer exists. Map Modifiers that granted increased Accuracy Rating to Monsters and made Player chance to Dodge Unlucky have been replaced with ones that reduce the amount of Suppressed Spell Damage Prevented by a percentage for Players.
Many other smaller changes on top of those noted above to improve specific items, Passives, and Skills. The Brass Dome: Unique has been redesigned to more properly embrace its identity of a high Armour Body Armour, while not providing as extreme of a difference compared to a Rare Body Armour with top tier Armour modifiers. It provided just a bit too much Armour compared to Rares when considering all the other stats it provided.
Existing items are unaffected. Example video. They can also be obtained in Heists and exchanged in Harvest. Perandus League is encountered as a golden glowing Chests and as Cadiro Perandus himself.
Perandus can offer you an item from his huge list League-specific included for a certain amount of Perandus Coin. The Perandus Manor map contains three bosses and one Perandus-league unique is guaranteed to drop. Cadiro starts to offer you the rarest item of five and it does make the difference. Many reports about people looting Headhunter , Shavronne's Wrappings and other valuable items in a considerable time. Tip: selling x5 Perandus Coin to a vendor will exchange them for x1 Scroll of Wisdom.
This one is my favourite and I am very passionate about it. It was re-implemented terribly. Harvest is encountered as a blue magical bush that consists of a garden with a seeds inside of it.
These seeds will not grow cucumbers! You are going to choose the crop with a desired effects and defeat the monsters. After, you are going to distribute these crafts on the items. Each seed has a few options of the outcome. All of them you can find here the names of the seeds does not matter anymore — only their effects. Harvest is probably the most complicated League for the new players and the most rewarding — for experienced ones.
In order to efficiently use it, you would need to understand how crafting works. It would be described in Crafting section as well as Harvest crafting itself. Nevertheless, I would share some of the methods that can result in your profit. Seed effects: Add a random Atlas Influence to an item — best way is to use it on popular bases that can be found here during the League. Which one — depends on the League. Check here ; Attempt to Awaken a level 20 Support Gem — usually, the most promising gems are Multistrike Support and Spell Echo Support ; Effect that locks a random modifier — Fracturing, used only to fracture Suffix 1 of 3 or Prefix 1 of 3 — never random mod 1 of 5.
Fracturing is only worth: a. Then sell. Reforge Critical — Cobalt Jewel. Nemesis for gambling Headhunter. You have an option to store up to 10 crafts for future use ridiculously small amount in the Horticrafting Station in your Hideout.
It can be found in Decorations tab. Harvest is absurdly rare, even with an Atlas Tree nodes, so the best targeting technique — fast-running white maps and using Zana Missions that can offer Harvest. Sometimes, instead of the seeds, you would stumble upon boss encounter huge tree on the pedestal in the center of the garden — Oshabi Heart of the Grove.
In general, finding the boss is a waste. You had to spend a lot of time planning the garden, planting the seeds and even longer — sorting out the crafts. In the end, for the players who at least tried to dive into it, crafting started to make much more sense. I am totally unexperienced at this League since I skipped the entire League and not planning to change my mind — this League is filled with a ton of uninteresting complicated mechanics.
That is why I will provide links with a useful information and some tips. Ritual League is simply a blessing for each type of players. It is encountered as a Ritual Altars on a map. Completing a Ritual offers you to choose an item that you want from a random generated stock. If you are a new player — you get the currency and getting richer. Veteran player — use some advanced identification of an items, but in general — get the currency and get richer!
You will always be satisfied with the reward since you take what you want. Ritual Splinters are used to assemble Ritual Vessels that can store monsters and bosses from an encounter and augment the rewards of all Rituals in the later maps with the Blood-Filled Vessels.
Having less might lead to being unable to Defer an expensive item this is truly heartbreaking. Note, that the last Ritual does not necessarily award the most points; Run Blood-Filled Vessels in bulk and put all four with a map in the Map Device. If you would run one map, you probably will not notice much difference except for a huge amount of points.
Vessels does not guarantee to offer expensive rewards. It might change in future Leagues. When I was using them, I have found Exalted Orb in stacks of x4 and x5 as well as a valuable uniques. Note: Juicing the map increases the amount of monsters that leads to more points from the Rituals.
Also, killing all monsters around all Altars and then using them would not result in spawning of all monsters each Ritual. Leagues in this category does not appear as an event but as a monster modifiers or does not have any notable loot.
More about it here. Homing fire balls on death — this League. But Beyond bosses are very lethal. The Pariah. League can be encountered in a certain maps.
Utility League — providing more magic monsters on the map. Corrupted Blood and huge circles on death — this League. Provides you with a Rampage passive buff additional AoE damage on kill streaks. After killing them a few times, they would never cause you any issues… except Sirus. There is not much to say about bosses — it is best to watch the video and see what happens there.
Consider this section as a set of tips — most mechanics are really trivial. I would cover the opposite ones. Sirus is the first of two endgame bosses. Sirus at AL8 referred as Uber Awakener. Last Phase though may ruin your whole run.
It is caused by the overlap of two abilities: Clones and Homing Multi Beam. To make things even worse — four Lasers piercing the fighting area. Multi Beam MB is usually cast at your previous location: he locks into the position where you stand, starting to cast and cast it to your previous position. This type of MB is used at the first three Phases and by Clones. Avoided by simply moving after he teleports. However, his line of sight is a cone and when he starts casting, his rotation speed is limited.
How to avoid. Move a bit when one of the Clones start to cast and move to him as close as possible. After this cast, he will teleport and immediately cast Homing MB.
Staying in them does a lot of damage alongside stacking the slow but it is fine to run through. However, avoid them if you can. Certainly, you would have rare overlaps that are even worse. Everything can happen so fast that you might not be able to react. Ultimately — screwing you. General tips There are all types of damage: always a Physical part, mostly Fire and Lightning parts, sometimes Cold part 1 of 3 beams and Chaos part Tempests, Bowling, Lasers, Black poop ; When Sirus spawns Lasers, he himself would Blink and appear first — and then will be joined by three copies.
You can damage him, leech and so on; There are two types of Corrupted Blood — one from a Laser and one from a Physical beam 1 of 4. You will need a lot of short normal maps which you would simply rush to the boss. Portal — Insert Map — Repeat. The Maven is the second and the latest endgame boss. After you defeat enough bosses at her Invitations and collect x10 Crescent Splinters , you would be able to enter her domain and fight The Maven herself.
She does only Elemental damage. At the start of the Intermissions, move to the extended piece of platform and wait for the bubble to burst. Also, she likes to use the tactic of her predecessor — blink offscreen and snipe your butt. The truly difficult mechanic reveals on the last Phase. Memory Game. You are going to deal with a Memory Game at the start of each new Phase.
You are simply remembering the highlighting sequence of three platforms and then repeat it by stepping on them. You are going to deal with it at least three times — 2nd Phase three steps , 3rd Phase six steps and last Phase six steps but on the last Phase you are going to watch for the Lasers as well as remembering the sequence. Just like the greatest Caesar — thinking about two things at once.
Well, there are no honorable way to cheese it. If you step on the wrong platform — the whole platform will be covered in poop in a second. Mostly, you just Die Trying and sometimes you succeed. Currently valid tip requires one portal : relog. When you re-enter the fight, you would have one minute grace period — it is enough to wait out this ability.
Current estimated chance to drop — one in five runs. Despite her looks, she does no chaos damage. Her damage consists of a very high Physical damage as well as Fire and Lightning ones from spells.
She always reflect all the incoming curses Blasphemy Support included. Make sure they does not benefit her more than you. Intermission is deadly and this is the cornerstone of your fight. Copy with a mirror Reflects all damage taken. Kill one of the remaining copies and proceed to the next Phase. On the other hand, in order to reach Atziri herself, you would encounter two bosses that might appear to be lethal as well.
Vessels of the Vaal first boss enrage when you kill one of them. Try to kill them simultaneously. Vaal Council Band? Girl casts Firestorm, Rain of Arrows and shoot Projectiles — all of them very lethal. When one of them dies, Black Fog will appear at his place and start to spread. Fog spawns ranged mobs and has a noticeable damage inside of it Chaos, I presume. House of Mirrors and Alluring Bounty is an area drop. Access : Cortex. Venarius is a boss in the Cortex. Bosses do Physical and Lightning damage.
Static Spheres explode if you enter their area. When Lasers would appear around him in a converging circle — jump through them and wait for the wide explosion around him. Another ability will spawn blue spheres that will travel towards one spot. Notable loot : Cinderswallow Urn. Mostly Physical with an occasional Fire damage. Phase 1. Phase 3. Watch out for Statue in the center — it will constantly cast waves in a line.
When greenish Glow would appear from your character — run to the corner Pylon that it points to area around the Pylon would glow and after you disable it, this area would become deadly. When she Ascends in the air and spawns glowing Skulls — trample them as fast as possible.
Untouched Skulls would be revived later and will crawl towards you — triggering them is lethal. The Shaper, The Elder and Uber Elder are extremely cool bosses but they are not hard to kill currently. Few notes for each boss. Notable loot : Starforge , Uber Elder Fragments. Shaper mostly does Cold damage. When he casts a huge Purple Rock above him, it will be followed by teleport to your location and smash — lethal Physical damage. His jump in must be followed by your jump out.
When Zana conjures a Red Bubble around her — get into it to be protected from small Projectiles this ability is usually followed by a huge Beam. Huge Beam deals all three Elemental parts of the damage and very uncomfortable to take pleasure in.
Elder mostly does Physical and Cold damage. When he casts a Circle around him with another one — expanding and covering most of the area, you should be inside the inner one at the end of the cast completely safe until then. Uber Elder is a fight with both the Shaper and the Elder. Watcher's Eye is one of the most popular and potentially expensive upgrades for the character.
You can sell them Unidentified for a reasonable price or gamble — make sure to price it on Trade. As a quick note I would like to mention Drox. When he is in the Intermission Phase purple bubble , he is attackable all the same but takes less damage. Your Mid-game would slowly turn into the Endgame in time. You will start to feel the power of your character, improve your filter strictness, less loot invaluable items, speed up the clear speed, vaporize the bosses and so on.
It will slowly turn into a routine that you will get bored from. Some people would stop playing and take their time off until the next League. However, there are a lot of things to try or do.
Such things are: Crafting. Despite the fact that experienced players take advantage of the Crafting from the start of the League, you might want to try it and experiment with. League Challenges. Veteran players usually stop playing after completing them. Alternative Characters. Some players choose the League-starter builds, make their first budget and level a new character to farm. Do whatever you denied yourself to do before. Try gambling. Try chancing items. Buy Exalted Orb and destroy it — why not?
Find patterns of loot drops or interactions between unknown things and share it with community. Have fun! There are even more things to know!
I will cover Crafting, Mod Interactions and would leave some miscellaneous tips for you. Anyway, we would know how to do it.
In order to take advantage of it, you would need to understand the Mod System and Interactions between Mods themselve. To make profit, you would need to know the mods that different builds use and be in touch with the current meta and economy. Disclaimer: Some topics, like the use of Mirror of Kalandra , would not be covered in this Section. There are four types of Rarity: Normal no mods , Magic mods , Rare mods and Unique predetermined mods.
Normal items are called Bases. Each item with a higher rarity has a base and modifiers Mods. Explicit Modifiers or Affixes — Prefixes and Suffixes — could be added, removed and changed by multiple tools. Items have Item Level ilvl. Item Level determines which mods and mod Tiers items can have. Item Level increases the chance for higher tiers not a reliable info. Different types of items have unique mods that can appear on them only. Additionally, Influences, Fossils, Essences and Crafting Bench can add their unique mods to the mods pool.
There are also unique mods from some activities like Incursion and Delve. Mods can have a Mod Group. Only one mod from a Mod Group can appear on an item. Mods can be Global or Local. This difference can be found mostly on a Weapons.
Quality improves base stats of an item. Quality also improves the chance to link sockets. Crafting Recipes are scattered throughout all of the PoE activities and should be searched individually. This type of crafting is unreasonably expensive and entirely random. Only first part of this method is really used. Preparation step is to acquire a base — choose an Implicit Modifier, check ilvl and possible mods. Choose a few strongest and rarest prefixes and suffixes that you want on this item.
Step 1 in crafting is simply using Orb of Transmutation. Orb of Transmutation could have granted one or two mods. If we have one and satisfied with it, we smack Orb of Augmentation. For our current scenario, we did not. Using Orb of Alteration until we get desired mods.
It is your choice how good both mods should be, but generally you proceed to the next Part with one rarest mod and a satisfying one. Traditional type of crafting implies that you would clear all the Prefixes or Suffixes later on. This Part is extremely long and sometimes require thousands of Orb of Alteration. Tips : If you are crafting in the Currency Tab, you can type your chosen mod in the Search Window below and when the mod will appear on the item, it will be highlighted.
Note: you should type it in double quotation marks for the exact search e. Otherwise, Filter would check the whole item for separate words. Just in case Use Shift to use Orbs multiple times. Part 2. Life after Regal Orb aka ruining item and starting over. Magic item can have up to two mods and we have them. For the further upgrade, we have to make our item Rare. It is done by using Regal Orb that will grant random third mod. Surely, you can try to annul this new mod and use Exalted Orb but you have a better ways to spend it.
Mostly, Crafting stops at this step. These items are good already. More in Mastering Crafting section. We want more. From now on, we will throw multiple Exalted Orb s for random mods. So, we have three mods. Now, we need to have three good mods in one Affix Group. This is the time when we learn about Blocking. Blocking utilizes the ability of the Crafting Bench mods to be added and cleared on demand, and is used to improve the chances of mods to appear in the right Affix Group or not to appear at all.
There are three types of Blocking: Blocking one slot in the Affix Group. This is the most universal and common method in Crafting. Adding this mod on an item completely protects the Affix Group from the changes. Using Orb of Scouring or Orb of Annulment would clear all or one of the mods from the opposite Group, respectively crafted mod included. This one blocks the ability of mods to appear. It is also divided into two types: simply crafting the same mod e. Second type would help targeting the next Exalted Orb and has a very niche use.
Nevertheless, this type of blocking is most important in the Harvest Crafting. So, we block the mod and use Exalted Orb on our item.
New mod is bad. We are blocking useful Affixes Group. Only then we use Orb of Annulment. If we have removed good mod — back to Part 1. This method works only with two Prefixes and two Suffixes! When we get an item with three good mods in one Affix Group and possibly one — in another — it is just a safe routine crafting. Even if we annul our fourth good mod from the opposite Group, we would still continue doing the same.
Thousands of Exalted Orb s has vanished by a single players, using Traditional Crafting — and they would never return back from the endless void. To watch this process yourself, you can try this slightly outdated video or any old crafting session on youtube. Harvest Section is in trouble! If this would come to pass, we can forget about Harvest big time. Harvest is the most powerful tool for Crafting.
As well as the most difficult to be properly used. Fortunately, learning how to Harvest Craft would make other types of Crafting trivial to understand. Harvest League took the Crafting to a brand new Level. That said, we should squeeze as much as we can from each one; We can take an advantage of Horticrafting Station that stores up to 10 Crafts for a later use. Crafts can be used in a 10 Level range. Crafts from Level 76 Tier 9 Maps could be used on any ilvl of items; The outcomes from each seed could be found here or here.
Generally, we are going to work with the effects that target a specific Tags of mods. Effects above would always be focused on these Tags. This is a pool of mods that can appear on a non-Influenced Ring. If we would Reforge any Ring with Cold mod, it would be guaranteed to have one mod with this Tag i. We have three Prefixes and three Suffixes — no more space for the mods.
Our Suffixes has no Tag to target so we forget about them for a while.
