Been lurking for a while here and now I got some questions  How long do you farm Docks/Catacombs Merciless before going maps? When do you try Piety/Dominus? Nemesis league.
@ZoRoXo How do you lvl so fucking fast in Decent Champions? I play Scion as well and managed #43 last time. But my chat told me vromvromracechar had a lvl up all the time. One time it wasn't much more than 30 seconds apart O.O

How long do you farm Docks/Catacombs Merciless before going maps?
depends on your gear. if it's self found, then you'll probably have to farm for a while
if you're willing to spend some Chaos for upgrades, then a decent barometer is when you can do Piety comfortably
estimate 3K AoE skill DPS as a minimum # to shoot for
no idea when to try Dominus. I got a Lvl 81 & 83 character that can probably solo Dominus but don't care enough to do it.

low level maps like crypt, tropical island etc are a lot easier than piety.

My character speed seems to randomly drop and stay at like -1% bonus for about 70% of the time. This really seems annoying when I invested into Harrier. Why does this keep happening, would anyone know?

Most chest armor has some amount of inherent (and invisible) negative ms. Especially astral plates.
Other possibilities: Weapon swapping disables your boots due to stat requirements, or ummm... Dunno.
More info required

Step onto tar, chilled ground, dense temp chain caster area, frenzy charges... etc. By etc I meant I can't think of anything else :<

armor and shield slow you down

Thank you for the replies, and apologies for not being more descriptive.
At first I thought it was a bug where the chilled effect would persist even after I would regain my normal colour, 'cos my speed went back to normal when I'd port to town (where flasks get refilled).
But then I realized that I get a 35% movement speed penalty (from +34% to -1%) while damaged; there was nothing on this on the PoE Wiki, so I couldn't find an easy answer. I play a summoner and don't use health pots often, so it's not uncommon for me to run around with 98% health for almost the entire session.
EDIT: Not to make another post I'll ask another question here. How does one acquire GCPs? On the Wiki it says we are to sell gems with a combined quality of at least 40%, but each GCP increases the quality of a gem by 1%. So... do we find gems with increased quality randomly? Or do the gems themselves drop in Merciless (I'm in Act 3 Cruel)?

what items do you have that give ms?

So I made a deal to sell a Maligaro's for 2.5 ex, but the guy didn't have pure ex so I got 130 alchs in exchange
Hard to convert, but it was a decent ratio right? o_o

Hard to convert, but it was a decent ratio right? o_o 130/2 = 65c/30 = ~2.2ex.
It all depends on what ratio you think is the most valid at the moment.

The key here is selecting the values that makes you feel good about yourself because by any other metric it was a terrible trade.

Or you find the guy who wants to buy 130 alchs for 3ex and is desperate because he couldn't find anyone selling that many at once. PROPHET.

I don't have any idea of what the ratio is for alchs to ex, I only really use the chaos to ex one. I thought it was ok.
I don't generally spend currency, but if I can wiggle 2 pure ex out for the alchs its fine. Maybe I might even use them one way when I'm doing maps.
But it doesn't matter because apparently law of karma applies and I dropped a Ming's with 13+ 49 chaos resist.

You can sell quality skill gems like flasks and get GCP's? O.o How did I ever miss that. I pick up all superiour flasks for exactly that reason. At least now I know I have a couple of GCP's worth in that growing pile of trashy quality gems.

I got a BoR like more than a month ago, but considering how long I've been playing I have had mediocre drops honestly.

One time it wasn't much more than 30 seconds apart O.O Only character I've ever killed merciless Dominus on I was 85 and I almost rip'd. The rewards are terrible (rare 66 map from quest), mostly because he doesn't drop any item tier that can't drop in catacomb/piety which are 20 times faster and safer. Think his falcon punch hits for roughly 4kish @75 lightning res iirc.
As for leveling fast in Descent champions. I basically just stick to a corner, rushing trough the zones. Only stop for blue packs/big white packs, ignore everything else. You often meet an exile early on, and if you don't have a weapons upgrade from the epic sword you start with, it's a huge waste trying to kill it since they tend to run away. Also make sure you pick the epic helmet for prismatic 3link sockets
I start full clearing from stormy ledge unless I feel under leveled at some point.

Thanks for the info! I always got the sash and most often didn't get the right 3 link colors :/ Also I guess I don't skip enough of the small packs.
So Dominus, I will do him in Standard if I rip a high lvl char^^
