Im looking at cluster jewels for my current build, Im running skele mages, and it seems to me that there is something I dont know. On the trade there are several cluster jewels listed that have Renewal, Call tot he Slaughter as well as Raze and Pillage. Im wondering how those were created, since I didnt get a method of obtaining them that is cheaper than the equivalent of 2k chaos on craftofexile. Is there some smart way of harvest crafting such a jewel? | ||

I found this usually ends up using the flasks in situations where I want them, and doesn't risk wasting them (e.g., the "use when it runs out" one will waste all your flask charges while you stand around deciding what to do with your archnemeses). It's not perfect. Sometimes I'll hit a rare right before it's about to die and the flasks will go off at a time when I wouldn't have used them myself; other times (especially in Delve) there are scary magic packs that I want to flask manually. But I'm such a panic-flask-masher that honestly I think this is working out better than when I try to use them by hand. I do sorta wish we could enchant non-utility flasks with these; I'd like to have auto bleed removal on my life flask. But it's not so bad to have something that forces you to pay attention to your life total I guess. I feel you. What a lot of people use is "use when full" with charge gain when hit. I tried it and I ended up having a lot of downtime where I had to press buttons anyways - which is more of a hassle than just pressing the buttons myself all the time... So I returned to 100 % manual flasks. Remove bleeding on a life flasks works well for me. When you bleed and your life goes down rapidly, you panic flask anyways, don't you.

Is there some smart way of harvest crafting such a jewel? If I craft Cluster Jewels it's through Harvest. Targeting 3 specific ones is very hard. But if you roll on multiple ones and sell good outcomes you will hit some good ones fairly quickly. Looking at your case, I would probably use reroll fire and reroll physical (and maybe reroll life). Then reroll suffixes once you have hit both prefixes. Reroll fire more likely should have the best chances to hit both prefixes. That's a lot of rerolls still. Maybe it would be better to try to hit the prefixes with fossils and then reroll suffixes via harvest. No idea if that's good though. I'm not an expert and there are probably better ways... | ||

Do certain atlas passives simply not work in guardian maps? Anyone heard anything about that? Edit: Further testing seems to suggest that indeed my atlas passives do not affect shaper guardian maps (outside of the obvious ones affecting them like shaper guardians spawning an ally etc). | ||

2 - QS (use when full) / 3 granite (use when full) / 4 (use when adjacent used) / 5 (use when adjacent used) I'm a crit build so most of the flasks have 25%+ gain charge when crit. I found this to work pretty well - whenever I engage a big pack, my utility flasks get used as soon as I kill a few mobs and fill up. If I need to use the flasks pre-pull or for whatever reason, I just click 3 and they all get used. So instead of flask piano I just click 3 every now and then. Quicksilver I leave decoupled since I mainly need that after a pack to move to the next one, but could put use when adjacent on it as well. | ||

Is there some smart way of harvest crafting such a jewel? For crafting clusters, i tend to have a look at which notables i actually want and their respective ilvl requirements. Have a look at the minion large cluster jewels here: POEDB LARGE CLUSTER JEWEL CLICK ME The non-notable mods all have 3 tiers : ilvl 1, ilvl 68, and ilvl 84.(except small passive effect i think, with the 2nd tier being gated by 84). So sub-84 already takes away quite a lot of mod weight for the t3 versions. After that you gotta have a look at your notables and if you can afford to go below 68. In your case, you can't because raze and pillage wants 68. But harvest rerolls with certain mod types are a decent shot - fire rerolls would most likely give you fire res as 2nd suffix, but thats okay because you only need 1 suffix notable. The poedb page also shows the mod types. In the end, its mostly having a few bases at hand and using harvest (or maybe fossils) while mapping until something nice happens. At least thats how i made most of my decent clusters in past leagues | ||

I think my takeaway is that the keyword "Areas" simply only means maps on the atlas. I am not aware of any inconsistencies with that interpretation, so it seems plausible as a working theory. | ||

Still have the Kirac/scouting report nodes as his missions have given me all but ~2 unique maps as well as Cortex, Beachheads, Untainted Paradise &c - just wish the blighted maps would open. Atlas passives are feeling great for me. I went right side into Harbinger, Ambush, Betrayal, Breach, and Eater packsize/altar nodes (current tree). Originally I had some Kirac and map sustain stuff as well, but I ditched it all (except the favored map/fortune favors the brave cluster) for more juice. Map sustain feels insanely easy this league; I haven't had to buy a single map to complete the atlas. I love how common scarabs are; I'm using 2-3 on every map. Mapping is so good it's making me impatient with the league mechanic, so I'm only doing low-effort brainless recipes until whatever UI update they end up doing. My only complaint is that once you've fully juiced a mechanic on the atlas, running unjuiced versions outside the atlas feels terrible. I did a Harbinger node in Delve and a Breach room in the Temple yesterday, and they were so fucking sad  | ||

Went for Einhar, Rogue Exiles and will add Strongboxes. I did these because i don't like the micromanagement/activation stuff many other leagues require. It feels so nice to just "play" a map whiteout having to interract with some mechanic or set something up, just kill everything and it's gonna be allright. Can't say much about how good the Einhar nodes are so far due too not having done many high tier maps but the 22 rogue exiles (that can spawn in doubles?) feel hilarious. | ||

My budget would be something like 30ex, any ideas what would be nice to do? Currently contemplating TriPolarBears Poison Helix Pathfinder since that looks like it depends on several mechanics I figure will get toned down or simply removed in the next updates. Anyone has experience with that? Im a bit worried that the clearspeed will feel slow still... | ||

I didn't have much time to play but started recently on a Bleed Bow Glad. I'm not exactly sure what it is or if it is a culmination of things but it kinda feels underwhelming right now at lvl 87, early red maps. Maven progress feels slower than before? The 2 new entities are barely noticable so far. There are a few extra spawns which blend in with the rest, nothing like the conquerer spawns. I saw one altar so far. The new atlas trees should be superior to the old system but the small incremental steps make those steps feel meaningless compared to before, when we had few but meaningful points. I also don't understand Kirac missions. What do I get for completion? Is there even a difference between success and failure. I'm missing something here... On top of all that my build doesn't feel great clearing, even with the bleed explosions. Single target is good for a change but I have made so many upgrades already and the bleed damage on packs still feels meh. With this many upgrades, usually every trash build I play feels decent in T16 maps but I feel like this still struggles in early read maps if it wasn't for the explosions, which carry the build through maps... Gladiator also seems like a shit ascendancy. Nothing synergises and you need work arounds for everything. You don't get Frenzy or Endurance charges with explosions, so those modifiers are useless. Same with challenger charges so I don't even bother running a stance and use the default blood stance. Alternatives in the block sector are mediocre and worth it unless I go an entirely different route. Violent Retaliation would be cool if it worked for bleed but it doesn't. Maybe I should roll something else and use this as a bosser... | ||

What are some fun bossers that you can sink some currency into? | ||

I've been playing almost all nights with a friend, me as an scion aurabot and him as a Arc Assasin. It has been fun to farm, and to complete challenges and bosses both together. We will do The Feared tonight I think. My other character when I play alone is a Maw of Mischief one, detonating Stone Golems with huge amounts of minion life for big ignites (they resummon themselves as a elementalist). It is a great bosser in my opinion. I leveled a hollow palm raider too but I got tired of it soon (I have played it before already) and deleted it. | ||

I had missed that Hiltless + flask charges when it is a thing, so thinking about doing a second character with that, but not really got the motiviation to think it through. Crackling lance is real fun, but standing still is a hassle. | ||

The economy still seems very much intact. No problems finding people to trade with. That should be good news for you FaCE. I got up to T16 now and defeated the 2 new mini bosses. I killed those super quickly, which surprised me. Usually I play builds which don't do a lot of bossing damage so I'm used to longer fights. The Hunger guy didn't even do anything but hit the air and died. In the other fight I at least had to do the mechanics once. Any suggestions for a fun mapper btw.? Thinking about Spark atm. And I kind of want to play a mana build again but I'm not sure if I wanted to gamble on archmage after it got nuked. Another idea would be a Lightning Arrow Berserker because rage is fun. | ||
