the zone needs to be 66 in order for a glorious plate to drop but its more rare in 66 and 67's because only rares from 66's can drop them and blues and rares can drop them in 67 as opposed to 68 maps where everything can drop a glorious plate from whites to rare mobs

PS: while the Expected Value of chancing a random (white) glorious plate is probably still positive, using scourings on them to continue chancing is probably very very negative.

Don't need the belt anymore. Found one on the forums. Thanks though.

Interesting. I bought a Glorious plate I blew all my Scourings + Chance on it (about 16 Scour+Chance) got nothing. Additionally I bought a 77 thicket bow how would you guys suggest I craft it? Just Alterations until a money roll then regal? Or just throw alchs at it?

Additionally I bought a 77 thicket bow how would you guys suggest I craft it? Just Alterations until a money roll then regal? Or just throw alchs at it? Well, it WAS worth it until the last patch. But really if you didn't have ~100+ chance/scours to throw at it your chances were kinda low anyway.
For the thicket, it depends if you want an Elemental roll or a physical one. Either way though, I'd say alch/chaos is likely the best way to go.
For elemental, the fact that you need AT LEAST 2 solid elemental rolls (which is impossible from alterations) and really also need either a 3rd elemental roll or a good attack speed roll means that the alterations + regals method will likely end in a lot of blown regals.
For physical you need +% phys, added phys and attack speed. While you can get 2 of those from alterations, the fact that you need to regal EXACTLY the missing one means that if you want a really good bow its gonna cost. However, the alterations method can get you a lot closer to a good physical bow than it can to a good elemental bow.
EDIT: on further review, you want the attack speed suffix on both, and then all you want are prefixes. So really, the way you roll phys and ele bows are the same. That said, I *think* that given the un-balanced need for prefixes vs suffixes, alch + chaos is likely better than alteration + regal. Both phys and elemental ideally roll 3 prefixes (tri elemental, OR +phys, % phys, %phys + accuracy hybrid).
|
The alteration/regal is more for personal use I think. You get the three mods you want and then exalt it as currency permits (and reroll it again when you get shitty rolls).
If you're gambling I would just alch/chaos it.

Yeah I'm an LA Marauder ala Nugiyen or whatever. The easiest spec I've ever seen, you hit LA and Conductivity and that's about it. I bought the Thicket for my personal end-game use for 1 chaos just to "think ahead".
Just crafting is one of the most enjoyable things in this game imo. So I want Tri Elements and +IAS.

I'm of the opinion that alch + chaos (or alch + scour, same cost) is the route you should take with it.

It's easier to upgrade via Exalts. If you want an upgrade then you're gambling that you actually get something better and you have to give up everything you have already if you use alch/chaos. At worst with an exalt you just get a useless mod and might have to start over depending on how much perfection you want. It is more expensive, but it is also much safer.

I'm sorry for asking this here repeatedly, but the GGG forums are a clusterfuck.
Did they release a continuous cut-throat league yet? Would very much appreciate if someone could take the time and give a short answer.

No. They recently tested some cut-throat event leagues, but a permanent one is very far off I imagine.

Sign me up, 1 month race is pretty much like a ladder reset if you ask me wich is the only thing this game is missing. Oh and a new engine.

Races are new ladders, and they offer a "best of both worlds" solution in that there will always be relevant permanent leagues while the competitive, innovative race system keeps the game fresh, and keeps people coming up with and perfecting builds for many different requirements.
I don't feel like the engine is a problem. If you're talking about the desync issue, there's a good Dev article somewhere that explains exactly what causes it and why it's a problem with a lot of games of this type.

Engine is absolutely the problem. The game was unplayable in a party for people with AMD cards untill a few days ago when new beta drivers made it barely playable. They had to tone down all the auras plus some skills effects and they still have a lot of skills that lag the game.
As for the desync issue i i've read all there is about it and if you put it all together they basicaly say it wont be fixed. Its a part of their game and they wont change it. It doesnt really bother me that much since you can learn to deal with it and predict where and in what situation you can desync.
What im saying is PoE gameplay + D3 engine = as close to a perfect game as you can get.

D3 has a polished. It feels good to control. Compared to d3, poe is lacking. I don't think anyone can reasonably argue otherwise.

Indeed, that's what made D3 instill that glimmer of hope in you that this would live up to D2 expectations. The first play through was great. Beautiful cinematics, gameplay felt right then it all came crashing down. Hopefully one day PoE will get the control to D3 Level.

D3 is indeed very polished and fluid.
But the fact that it's only redeeming quality is why its a huge fail and PoE is far superior.
I mean PoE's control and combat is not terrible, it's just not as good as D3's.
But all the game, character, skill, and item systems in PoE are so far superior to D3 it's ridiculous, we are talking night and day.
