I just got 5 Tzteosh in one map, including two at once, and no other bosses. | ||

I've decided to go with essence drain shadow for starters. The build is pretty straightforward and stuff but I have absolutely no idea how to play in the beginning. There are so many available skills and I don't know which ones to use as progression. Right now I have frost blades, lightning tendrils and contagion (contagion will be used in the build so I'm just trying to level it a bit). Should I go for something with more range and AoE? Which skill should I use in the beginning? | ||

+ Show Spoiler [for elemental dmg shadow;;] + You told a weird combination of skills. Frost Blades is a melee skill and doesn't scale with Spell Damage. Lightning Tendrils can be used for leveling, but it's basically melee and as such not really beginner friendly. I'd personally use Freezing Pulse and Fire Trap at first. Get Clarity as quest reward when you can, as well as buying Flame Dash from Vendor. You should get and use Lesser Multiple Projectiles for more Freezing Pulse AoE if you got the links for it. Before Merveil you'll have Essence Drain. I dunno how good it is for leveling, if it isn't, there's always Blade Vortex which is from the same quest. Fireball might also be decent by now, but I haven't tested it so I can't say that. EDIT: Considering the passive tree you linked is probably the same as yours (up to the level you got)... Use Ethereal Knives and Fire Trap. Should've checked it. I should've known considering you are leveling Essence Drain. Blade Vortex (once you get it) is a great good option when you get it if leveling with Essence Drain doesn't go well. | ||

The few new maps I've played so far all were enjoyable though, most even great. Acid Lakes is great for example. Factory is the only meh map I've played. I feared lots of new Phantasmagorias lol. | ||

Only a matter of time before I die to it again in HC and not sure I want to put up with it at all in general. PoE has always been terrible with AMD cards but 2.4 has just made it unplayable for me. EDIT: There seem to be others with similar issues with 2.4 on reddit and on their technical support forums, but I haven't see anything to fix the issue or any response from ggg. | ||

Almost every map I've played so far was harder in the boss department. Either switched to are more challenging boss or new skills. There are exceptions though, like Dunes and Jungle Valley (which for some builds is dangerous anyway). Like Catacombs necro now spawns Skelettons like from Vaal Summon Skelettons. Vaal City Boss was pretty nuts, i took one hit and didn't bother taking another. Decoy Totem is the MVP lately, I've even linked it to a 20q Minion&Totem Res gem now. >.< Also quite funny (and sad) how in parties it feels like 60+% play Pathfinder Blade Vortex. | ||

My pool is like 10+ of 5 different maps and 0 other maps even though they're connected on the Atlas. At first I thought it was just luck or whatever, but now I'm level 80 and yet barely into the Atlas and it's kinda hard to ignore it. Also, the drop rate on sextants is a joke since they don't even do anything anyway. | ||

It is kind of surprising connected "downgrades" aren't more common, but the architecture of the overall Atlas is kind of clunky in that respect. That's what I'm talking about, connected downgrades. They never seem to drop. | ||

It's not empty, you can see at least one map at each corner if you examine it. As you "complete" maps (hover over them to see how, for low level maps it's to kill the boss in a blue or higher map), more of the atlas becomes revealed. You can only find maps that you have completed OR that are connected to the map that you are currently running. What that ends up meaning is that you always progress on one or two quadrants while the other quadrants are stuck at a super low tier and you never progress in them because the system is fucking retarded lol. | ||

It's completely retarded that a Ranger could go CI and be the best build this patch. But no matter, I'm perfectly content to go hybrid ES-Eva as a trickster. Because min-maxing are for retards. | ||

What is preventing you from going to low level maps from all quadrants? | ||
