Frankly I'd probably getting too old for this game... even on a regular maps I constantly felt like I am playing the game with 4X ~ 5X the speed...

u playin new league ka?wat lvl now at new league?
i might start too.damn boring now a days

mean so fast finished?
i see you also so fast level 8x

of course
now I already level 85
start jerr

i not sure u my friend in game or not

The levelling pacing isnt really that strange really, if i would stop dying would be near 90 by now.
When I mention 'the game is too fast' I usually refer to the speed of enemy, not my playstyle
I usually spent way over 15 minutes to even half an hour clearing a map... XD
Which explains my extremely slow atlas progression, people are doing t16 and all those rare shits like breach domain already, and I still doing T5.....

Those damn monsters simply do not give me time to think and react; spacing out for a second to scratch my nose can be a deadly thing to do...
the ultimatum gorrila is especially insanely buffed. Now if I see a trial with gorrila, i probably skip it...

I try to slow the game down with suggestion from others;
Blasphemy - temp chain, and a medium cluster jewel with Chilling Presence, broke all my bank trying to craft one on a 4 passive jewel...
Still felt kinda fast, since those effect are relatively short range only affect monsters in melee range...
Maybe want to try add inc aoe to temp chain but mana reserve at limit already currently.

what build you play?
don't feel bad about ultimatum
my suggestion skip it for now and wait them nerf those mobs
they are affected by ultimatum mechanics, their own buffs being rare mobs and I believe the modifiers from maps too

even solid equipped chars also suffer from ultimatum atm
nothing to worry

my suggestion just build your build first
get all the items for it etc then level up first

Definitely gotten better with Vaal Summon Skeleton and swapped more damage to Melee Splash instead.

PoB seems to be not recognizing many new mods, eh makes planning a bit annoying.
Somehow this reserve setup worked:
- Hatred on Essence Worm
- Blasphemy + Temp Chain + Inc AoE F me for being stupid, Inc AoE didn't work with blasphemy!!!
- Discipline -- with amulet 28% reduced reservation
- 18% reduced reserve on passive tree
Left 100 mana enough to cast stuff.

Went for the generic ES setup + Cyclopean Coil - burn immune, shock immune / Immune to all chaos damage obviously from CI
Immune to burn ground from pantheon
Maybe want to switch to Leap Slam to get Fortify as well... Scrap that, why Leap Slam felt so clunky and slow.
Still trying to 6L a damn ES armor, frustrating as hell

yep ahaha i also burnt out, this league damn boring, im still at act10 btw LMAO

take a break, it's fine lol
I haven't played PoE seriously for a long time anyway, is quite enjoying this league, although got a bit of performance issue. Guess my pc is just too old for this anymore... i5 2500k, 11 years old CPU.

I wanted the portal/ reward but 36... damn. When I see that really kinda demotivate me a bit.
The only time I went 36 was way back in Breach...

btw.have u bought anything b4 from thier microtransion shop b4

Yes why?
Im planning to buy a supporter pack soon

how much spend so far

rm80 jer
lol

the supporter pack will be my first big purchase rm250

still fail to 6L an atziri armor that is REALLY annoying...
F socket linking system

🔽 yeah some deaths really stupid and annoying. Monsters just spawn out of no where BOOM shotgun you in 0.0001 second.
unfair situation like that is freaking annoying and frustrating. Think I pretty much done as well.

i feel burned out lol

i died few consecutive times just now to a tier 6 map lol

skip league if you feel bored / tired , dont burnt out yourself

this is not a good league i would say

its kinda whatever, the league mechanic takes more time than ritual and not as rewarding

i have played chieftain ignite discharge for 3 leagues in a row, plug in unique items and get expected dps. bad thing is slow mapping lol

i felt myself got a problem, duno to farm or mapping and char is weak, ie: ele hit keep dying, cyclone with abyss hel keep dying; saw others play these with ton of dps 10mil, 30 mils and i start duno to play POE


whoever got map T5 and above pls dump to me.

Try invest into max block + get (or anoint) Deflection passive
Vaal Grace also kinda popular choice around

Frankly I'd be happy if can hit 2m~3m dps already... Usually I barely hit 1m dps, never really invested to go further. If got more room I'd rather invest into defence, you deal 0 damage if you died...
Sure I wish I got big dps to one shot bosses... but more than often I died because of trash mobs shotgun me, not because of bosses...

how lol

reroll Bane Chaos DoT Occultist - I find way more success overall compared to previous char. Character link


lv21 gem >> armor +3, weapon +1, amulet +1, empower +4 (empower itself is +1 level due to armor)
(theoretically lv33 is possible)

Delete T16, Sirus down, practically delete anything as long as you good with the fight mechanic.
This isn't that "3 second bossing" glass cannon build, but is more focus in not getting yourself killed by stacking defensive layers & permanent immunities so I don't need to play flask piano.
Can run ANY map mods without concern, the only one that cannot run is no-regen. That said, this build isn't immortal... just don't do stupid things.

Key defence mechanism:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Atziri Reflection + Coward's Legacy = going low life while maintaining CI Chaos Immunity. Also become Curse Immunity.
- Viridi's Veil unique helmet = enemy hit on you is unlucky, and don't take extra critical damage; both very powerful defensive layers to reduce ES fluctuation at messy situation like Ultimatum.
- medium cluster jewel [Chilling Presence] synergy well with Occultist ascendancy : freeze things nearby every 4 sec for about 0.7sec. Also is Chill & Freeze Immunity.
- jewel with Corrupted Blood Immunity corrupted implicit
- jewel with Hinder (slow) Immunity corrupted implicit - didn't work with tentacles or slowing by boss skills though
- ring with Ignite Immunity corrupted implicit
- strong ES recovery during clearing / ultimatum by stacking two [Brush with Death] & [Vile Reinvigoration] cluster jewel - 2% ES gain on kill (instant) and 2% ES regen recently on kill.
- Blood & Sand & Grace for additional defence
- DoT skills are naturally reflect immune
- Vaal Grace & Vaal Discipline as panic buttons

Current shopping receipt:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- wand with implicit Chaos Dot 15% : 20c (bought a second one for 5c...)
- Atziri Reflection : 2.5ex
- Coward's Legacy : 1ex
- Skin of the Loyal with +2 level aoe/duration gem corrupt : 1ex
- empower level 4 : 2ex
- enlighten level 4 : 4ex - required to squeeze 4 aura into my build
- 4x small cluster jewel [Energy From Naught] : 0.8ex
- 2x large cluster jewels spell & chaos damage : 0.4ex
- 2x medium cluster jewel for ES recovery : 1.8ex
- 2x medium cluster jewel for Discipline & Grace reserve reduction : 0.5ex
- Crown if Inward Eyes with Discipline reserve reduction enchant : 50c
- Viridi's Veil with +2 socketed gem & well rolled resist : 40c
- Hunter amulet with +1 chaos gem: 70c
TOTAL : probably 20ex ish burnt

Aura setup (all on mana reserve):
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Discipline : 60% reduction (cluster jewel) + 4% reduction (tree) -- 12.6% final
- Grace : 20% reduction (enlighten lv4+2) + 4% reduction (tree) + 60% reduction (cluster jewel) -- 8% final
- Blood & Sand : 20% reduction (enlighten lv4+2) + 4% reduction (tree) -- 26.6% final
- Malevolence : 20% reduction (enlighten lv4+2) + 4% reduction (tree) -- 38% final

Question: is SHAV the better option instead of Skin of the Loyal?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NO, sure you can reserve another aura on blood magic, easier to cap resist as you can use any belt - but you lost chaos immunity, and LOST 40% of DPS! (lost +4 gem levels)
To reach lv30+ skill you need a double corrupted Shav which is ridiculously expensive.

HOLY COW CHICKEN BIRD...
Playing first T15 map, juiced. Pondering if I even want to do the trial cuz scared of loosing exp.
And... straight up went to WAVE 10 Trialmaster fight...



Luckily map isn't dangerous, only 'hit always ignite' is a bit dangerous preventing my ES recharge.
Also very luckily I have sextant "no vaal soul prevention" which seriously helps a lot in my dps and survivality...

I just realize I only have 92 ES at the end... That... ... ... was close...
