Did the Mastermind fight get buffed alongside other endgame things? Little bit nervous about attempting it if it got the equivalent treatment to Shaper etc. Edit: Also - there's no way to farm a particular Conqueror's influence, right? You have 3 maps of influence, the citadel map, and then they won't spawn again until you've spawned all four conquerors then Sirius? After Hunter quiver/boots/etc and Warlord ring/body armour. | ||

Has anyone an idea of how i could create Frenzycharges as a Stormbrand-Assa against bosses that don't spawn adds? They are a big part of my dmg but i haven't found a practical way yet. Btw: My char seems to be nearing completion, if anyone has any ideas for extra links/sockets and so on... Be my guest  . I would really appreciate it. Powercharge-Stormbrand-Assassin:https://pastebin.com/JLLHthpu Acro/Phase-Acro could for sure be an option but I kinda fear i will lose too much dmg or Sirius is just ridiculously tanki... Got quite a bit of currency invested now but alltogether it goes really well for a (former) leaguestarter whiteout much of a plan, the amu just dropped for me, i didn't knew it even existed, and my eyes widened. That my Flasks need work is clear  | ||

anyone here has any advice on a defensively strong bow build? :x | ||

It is not exactly a real bow build (you have a bow but you don't attack with it) and not everyone likes mines. But it is very good for this league. Octvian is playing it in his stream. | ||

Feel like I'm missing something. I enjoy them, but would like to be more successful if I'm just missing a few tricks lol Edit: also what's some hotness this league when it comes to big boy investment? I was grinding some currency to play Vortex Occ just to try it because I don't think I'll mind the playstyle, but in the process I'm making a bit more $$ than I expected and might just sink it into something really good. I'm not interested enough in this ED Trickster to really push the boundaries of high maps and all the super awakened stuff, the damage is always going to be slightly underpar for equal investment so I'm just speedweeding lower maps for fun until I have big boy money. I know we were discussing bow stuff being hit or miss for league start, but with 10-20-30ex ish to spend there's gotta be some insane shit that'll clear everything comfortably, especially for softcore. Refuse to play summoner, just not interested. I'm also noticing a lot of CoC Ice Nova Assassins on poe ninja. Is that the new wave version of CoC Discharge lol? I've genuinely never played a serious CoC build. Edit2: lol nvm holy shit Cospri's is 5-6ex right now | ||

Bought a few of those unique watchstones with +1 monster level and ultra juiced one map. 2 sextants, 2 mortal fragments, tempest prophecy. Only 105% quant on the base map though, will try again with a ~140% when i get one. https://i.imgur.com/YmGVJ5T.jpg Thats effectively a t19 map (and even some more because of additional effects on the watchstones). Died a lot but finished the map, couldnt get the metamorph though. A lot of juicy crafting bases dropped but not a lot of profit in the end because the watchstones are hella expensive. But its a lot of fun. | ||

Trundling along in SSF - despite all my time in Petrified Forest/Fungal Cavern biomes, only found four Corroded Fossils and haven't managed to roll a decent bleed bow with Corroded+Jagged. Managed to down T15 Drox despite zDPS (he even dropped a passable Vuln on hit ring for me) and got Sirus fairly low on a first attempt/viewing - it's a bit, ah, visually confusing. Going to try and farm up more watchstones for the moment. | ||

Great post. Completely forgot you could use oils on blighted maps lol. Also arc is way better than I thought I guess. Excited to try some changes. Edit: Lmao wtf I bought a T7 Blighted Precinct just to try some of the suggestions and totally fucking cheesed it zero issue. Arc + Empowers way better than I expected. Stun towers seem ok, on par with chill, but Arc was the big answer I guess, and throwing in a couple Flamethrowers if there are lightning resist, just in case. I double annointed Empower effect for super cheap. Actually ran around building/upgrading shit the whole time while the towers killed stuff, had no idea that was actually possible. Blighted maps aren't crazy cheap right now (cuz the rewards seem consistently ok) so I'm not gonna go buy more, but now when I stumble across one from Meta or in the wild I'm gonna be way more excited. | ||

- as far as i can tell: you shoot an arrow that is only a delivery system for the fuse and does no damage; that means one can EE of both added flat and conversion(if the weapon has phys dmg). the fuse expires, target blows up, you do "Explosion deals 50% of Base Damage", but of what?. you never did initial damage with the arrow that landed the fuse; or it's base theoretical damage and that line is for balance? <questionmarks>. the explosion occurs, it EEs' the target to resist fire, so then what happens with the ignite?: it gets calculated at the same time as the explosion thus getting the EE bonus or there's a damage sequence like: EE for minus fire resist, get the explosion with the EE bonus, then ignite with the target fire resistant. (which would mean you can EE for the explosion but not for the ignite). Edit: so apparently it does initial(when it delivers the fuse) weapon based autoattack dmg... | ||

I got spoiled by easy atlas progress from last few leagues and I don't feel like needing to grind more now.. I never enjoyed complicated atlas progress from before last few leagues where new map drops were rare and you hade to grind same maps a lot or trade for them. They finally fixed that shit and now fucked it all up again with these changes. I am stuck at white maps and don't even feel like playing anymore. | ||

Its grindy but i doubt there is much strategy involved if you just want to fill out the whole thing. I never before had so many red Maps to do, i can basically Sustain T13+ whiteout any issues. This league seems awesome once you reach redmaps. I also allready had a Chimera, Hydra and 2 Elder Guardians. It took me way longer in other leagues to get this. | ||

Explore to the 4 corners, run maps in the corner regions to spawn influence (this changes the color of the region) Rrun more maps in a region with influence until you find the conqueror (normally 3 different maps, you can do the same but then its only a 33% chance for the conqueror to come and taunt you) After fighting the conqueror you get a Watchstone. Left side of the atlas window is storage, hover over it to see which stones you have and what you need to spawn more conquerors. You can socket the Watchstone in the medallion like thingy on the atlas regions Repeat this for each corner, you should now have 4 Watchstones, one of each color. If you hover over the stone storage you can see you now need regions with 1 socketed stone to spawn them. So go socket your stones, 1 per region for now. The more stones you socket in a region the higher tier maps it has. Do more maps to get the new higher tier maps you now have on your atlas. Run those higher tier maps to spawn conquerors again, then run maps until you can fight em. Once the influence shows up you can run any tier map to progress to the fight, doesn't need to be the correct tier for what you have on your atlas. Repeat until you have 16 stones at which point it becomes more rng when a conquerer shows up and you need to run more maps to get them. Note if you have a map tab you can type in (part) of a region's name to highlight for maps from that region. | ||

Here is one t19 run by me today. Every item that is dropped is 86+ and basically all the elder/shaper items are worth something. The jackpot would be an elder bone helmet or astral plate but even without those you get more than your money back. It's still a bit hard for me, i can still get x2 dmg but it's expensive and i dont wanna spend so much. A good build could clear that easily. But ideally you want to run this with more people for additional quant. People have been abusing the shit out of these maps and it only just got public and immediately the watchstone prices spiked threefold. A good old deadeye + aurabot could breeze through this and get multiple exalt per single map. To be honest i cant even be bothered to sort the loot and sell it, i just run those for fun, will probably stop and focus on Sirus more again. | ||

I did that for one region in middle to get it to yellow and ran a few random t5 maps I had and I got no t6 maps to drop... Last two leagues t6 maps dropped like flies while doing t5 maps. | ||

I don't know why GGG wanted to change a good system for this. They could have just added new bosses.. Now at best when transitioning to yellow maps I will only have 2 or 3 to drop and I cannot buy new ones from Zana. All I am offered are white ones. | ||
