Also I rerolled to Saboteur, glad I did considering the data mined hp of Shaper, Guardians and Uber Elder seems ridiculous... RIP many fun builds (for bossing at least). | ||

You can stop the end bosses from being killed in under 1 second by the broken builds but that means the non-broken builds are in for a hell of a time. Previously a lot of 'bad' builds were still perfectly viable to clear all content with, it just took a little longer. That may no longer be the case now and that is a bad thing for the game. | ||

Balancing these things around the top end of the players in the first few days is an overall good thing imho. A1 Brutus/Merveil or A2 Vaal being buffed and being a reasonable challenge for veterans seems like a really dumb idea. That stuff should be an intro for newer players and easy enough with straight up garbage "builds". A4 Piety or A5 Kitava (adds specifically) also sound annoying as hell or even impossible to do with a weak build, that shouldn't be a thing.

Feels more like most previous leagues (Betrayal, Legion, Blight all come to mind) where 95% of the content is totally fine and a reasonable as well as fun challenge but for the last 5% you need to die to/see someone else die to once or you need to avoid the league mechanic in HC. I'm mostly salty that a skill that is "target player and send explodey thing in their face" for the entire game turned into "target player and create two half circles of explodey things moving in opposite directions from the original player position" all of a sudden. Breaking your own rules to create difficulty is just cheap. The black explodey ground isn't much better imo. "Haha you killed the thing but you missed a barely visible ground effect and tried to get loot asap LUL GOTCHA" was never too appealing either. Bit of a shame since I really enjoyed the boss buffs and was hyped for higher tier content in HC but I'll prolly re-roll in SC later today. Might as well Netflix and chill this time around and go "oh lul" once in a while instead of actually being annoyed. | ||

Maybe I just gotta git gud and especially get used to the things that can happen. So far I'm dying on average once per Metamorph encounter now since I've entered maps. Then again my build is super squishy atm, so hopefully that will balance out eventually. | ||

Act 1 was the only place where i had «problems» but i was also horribly hungover and went back to sleep for 4 hours after i did Merveil. I died probably 10 times in it :D. Act 1, especially Brutus and Merveil, for sure felt a hell of a lot tougher than before. After that? I had absolutely no issues with an ultra squishy build. It wasn’t deathless but I have died more in previous iterations and I usually don’t care much so it can just happen. I didn’t notice a diffrence on Oversoul, Dominus Adds seemed tougher but that was about it. After Act 3 it imho felt a whole lot easier than before and I’m pretty sure I died way less than I normally do from Act 6-10 when i play a glass cannon leaguestarter. When it happened it was mainly me charging into some pack that just instagibbed me, i don’t remember dieing to any Boss from act 6 on. Since i entered Maps it actually feels a whole lot easier (T3 atm), the Map bosses especially so far have been absolutely no problem. The Metamorphs feel a bit strange at times but well, I can offscreen everything so I don’t have issues, they just take a while and sometimes some bs ability that you didn’t know the boss had instagibs me but nothing too bad yet. Btw : Playing a so far purely self „built“ Stormbrand-Assassin. https://www.pathofexile.com/fullscreen-passive-skill-tree/AAAABAYBAAQHBLMFQgceCPQN0Q5IEJIRLRGWFkAWbxo4HwIgbiM2JC0kqiaVJy8qCyoTLJwtHzD4Me8yMjJYMtE2xTbpOlg62D5lQZZCOkVHRZ1JUUyzTq5QMFMQU1JTjVVLVcZZ81orXfJh4mNDZJ1mnmpDcFJxaXIPdKV8g3_GgpuD24PzhX2J04w2j_qQVZTxlSCVLprgn0iiAKKjpWesmK4SrrOu_7E2tDi8b7zqwGbB88MTyvLPGtD11abZhtte42rjhOUZ6-7r9fAf8NXyHffX-Jf60vv1?accountName=aDoreMe&characterName=doityourselfnow Help welcome as usual | ||

At the Doom Cast cluster you should pick the crit multi instead of the crit chance (which is bad) though and Throatseeker will add a lot of damage too. Not sure if the power charge wheel at the top is worth it, I'd rather get Divine Judgement or Heart of Thunder or get some more life like from Resourcefulness and/or Blood Drinker. | ||

I most likely will get Mom later and depending on how good i do on dmg respec to get acrobatics thru blooddrinker or the DW wheel. Goal are 9 power charges (7 atm) but i dunno... Once i get more basecrit i for sure will change doomwheel  .Hell, maybe even CI after uberlab and some moneyz in the bank. | ||

Tried to read the patch notes but they are not very specific. Is there any up to date guide on this? Are the shaper/elder loot gone with the new bosses? Shaper and Elder then drop fragments that let you do Uber Elder. As for the map, what I know is that you want to rush towards the 4 corners because that is where you can first unlock the Conquerers. The map area will change color when it gets their influence, then run 3 more maps to spawn the Citadel. Talk to Kivara? in your hideout, he should have a !. then Zana gets the option to teleport to the citadel. Portals open to a Map, clear the boss and a new portal spawns for the Conquerer. Kill it to get a watchstone. Watchstones socket into your map to upgrade map tiers. The more watchstones you have the higher tier maps you need to run to get new ones. The left side of your map has storage for Watchstones, hover over them to see what level area you need to get more (level = how many watchstones you have socketed in that region). Donno beyond that, I've only started mapping today, still working on getting the first 4 Conquerers. | ||

Maybe I should try to make Flameblast work, as that was what I was basically looking for in Divine Ire. Didn't really feel the same Boom that I felt back in the day with FB, but that was when double dipping was a thing, so probably FB wouldnt feel that great either. Hrmpfs. | ||

I'm guessing the end game bosses have been scaled to a higher difficulty to compensate for the inflation in DPS? I went with an afk summon starter build, I heard it's been heavily nerfed from last league, hopefully I can still do most of the content with it. Zombies were a little nerfed, not even that big, and spectres/skeletons are just as crazy. | ||
