I found a rare chest with ~750 armour/evasion, 110 life, 14% increased life and 20 lightningres (and 1-2 other stats). IIRC, can't check now.

Is this worth something or does stuff like this drop often now?

Btw: wouldn't mines be a bit wonky when you enter an incursion and are immediatly under fire by a ton of tanki mobs?

Hey you guys.
Is this game still strong? Was playin a few years back in Beta I think and was super overwhelmed by the skill tree.
Now I'm kinda fed up with other games and was wondering if I should give this a go again?

Or you get one of those corrupted armors with +2 projectile skills +1 aoe skill and still use quill rain :D

That is why players use cwdt+detonate mines. You place the mines and mobs help you kill them.

Still strong how?

It is still overwhelming for new players, but lot of fun. Find a build guide and follow it for your first 1 to 5 characters. By then you will learn enough.

Yes its still going very strong. A new league (season) has just started.
The skill tree looks super overwhelming for a new player yes. I would advise looking for a starter build guide that you think sounds cool and just follow that so you don't have to figure it out yourself.
It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

Now that I had the time to check out the PoB link in more detail this does look pretty interesting.
Do you already have this character on standard or incursion? Items looks like something bought/found, not made in PoB.

One thing that confuses me is the leech amount, PoB acts like you got Vaal Pact or something but you don't. If we put in realistic leech rate which would be 1600 and lack of any other defensive mechanics this character might be dying more often than wanted even with that high max life. And that hit chance is not impressive, especially when you need to hit to leech. Also the leech depends on you being ignited which is not reliable. EDIT: Seems the leech rate is somehow connected with that amulet. When I turn off "Are you ignited?" it drops down to 800 which is what your ascendancy gives.

What content did you try him against?

As people already said, picking a guide is a very, very good idea unless you enjoy starting over a couple of times. This for example is a nice fresh list for a few builds that are likely to get you into maps safely and will let you enjoy the game there. The stuff you do before maps was made a lot smoother and fun but that's not what most people play the game for in the end.

If you're into Hardcore I'd also recommend starting out in SC at first, just to understand the basics. Unless you really enjoy starting over frequently.

Either way if you decide to give this another shot please mention one of your character names somewhere in here and we'll get you into the TL guild, questions are always welcome there.

Took a long break since Harbinger league. Can someone explain what happened to all the vaal skill gems(I don't recall having the normal and vaal skill in one gem)? Does this mean the vaal version is strictly better now?

Also what's a good lab farmer nowadays?

Anything with Juggernaut ascendancy is still a super easy lab farmer. Tons of endurance charges for regen and phys reduction. It got buffed quite a bit in 3.2.

Vaal gems give you access to both the normal and vaal skill now. The main advantage being both the normal and vaal versions will have all the support links. Quite a few of them are popular right now, especially Arc.

Scorching Ray Trickster using Mind over Matter and enough of life and mana regen works great as lab farmer.

This is a trickster version of the EA build bo1b is doing if anyone prefers a more defensive version with just a bit less dps.
Tnx to bo1b for making the best ignite build for end game bossing. I will probably switch to this once I can afford a 6l +3 bow or a 6l corrupted + to skills cloak of defiance.

Bo1b, how would you go around getting 6l +3 bow for EA? Just buy it like that, or buy some white 6L and somehow craft it myself? How would one do that?

Thanks! Is it possible to get level 21 vaal gems? Does it still make sense to vaal orb a normal gem at level 20 if I already found a vaal gem with decent quality?

Thanks to some league-specific mechanics you can "double corrupt" a gem (not corrupt something that's already been Vaal'd, but rather "double vaal" an uncorrupted gem). So I presume this is a way of getting level 21 vaal gems? But I haven't seen any or done it myself yet. I was also wondering about that.

It does exist!. They are selling at 70c+ right now. Although none are quality 20, which makes me wonder how they got them.

Time to put a bunch of arcs in my alt weapons to experiment.

Oops, my bad. A quick search seems to suggest it's only obtainable via the beastcrafting recipe, which is from the last league? How are people making it in this league?

Nvm found it:

with the T3 corruption room (which rolls for TWO corruption results), it SHOULD be possible to get a lvl 21 vaal arc.

Any ideas for a second vaal spell i could run with totems? Searching for something to help on bosses. Atm i got a vaal stormcall but i doubt its effective (but raoning thunderbolts are). I only got the 3 lightning nodes for crackling speed all else is pure totem/spell.

Vaal RF is free MORE spell damage. Vaal Cold Snap is free Frenzy charges and chills.
