Yeah Scourge Arrow would be pretty solid for Blighted stuff probably. I haven't been able to play at all for the last week or so but I was enjoying Divine Ire totems, and self-cast might be just as good or better since you can more consistently aim down the long lanes of Blight mobs.
Hoping by the time I can actually play again there's been some performance/stability/consistency patches. I think there was a small one recently but haven't heard whether or not it actually helped or by how much.
Edit: Mathil's Static Strike Elementalist looks pretty fun and solid too but I'm wondering if I'm mostly just missing my Herald pops/effects. It's been a few leagues doing mostly ranged/spells now, I miss the ol' bloofs with cool mtx

Do generic area of efffect increases affect things not generated by skill gems like profane bloom, inpulsas explosion or bereks prolif?

Just had a Shavs drop as well, so I might try to go LL and throw some more auras around - I've been trying to farm yellow/red elder guardians for a Memory Vault, but no luck yet (though I have ~80% of the other drops).
Still no Memory Vault, but had a Mask of the Tribunal drop from my one Synthesis boss so that's doing the job in a pinch, 6Led the Shavs on the first fuse when I'd just popped my Jeweller's Touch prophecy(!!), and eventually threw fuses at my staff after I'd saved up ~1800 while unsuccessfully trying to delve down to find a Primeval Ruins (~352, was the fifth deepest delver in SSF last I checked) - hit the 6L in just under 600, which was nice after my terrible fusing luck in Legion.
Hoping to grind out 36 challenges, but a bunch of them are a pain (been a few leagues since I've captured a bestiary boss, and no luck with a Beachhead so far this league), and it'll be hard to do a number of the fiddly challenges as a summoner, even if I can probably finesse some with a Mark of the Red Covenant.

Dead league?
I was thinking of trying to get 24 challenges sometime for dat portal, but don't really have that itch to log on otherwise

I was having a lul in wow classic the other day and popped on to see what patch changes have been made and if performance has been improved, overall quality of life stuff idk, just generic mid-league patches. And I didn't find any? So I didn't have much motivation to play again. Maybe I just couldn't find them though

During the livestreamed keynote announcement presentation at ExileCon on the morning of November 16th, we'll unveil December's 3.9.0 expansion. While it's too early to reveal the full details of this release, we wanted to give you an idea of what to expect from the upcoming expansion.
We settled on the term expansions for recent releases like Legion and Blight, because they add new content like skills and items to Path of Exile as well as containing full challenge leagues. 3.9.0 not only contains the usual content you'd expect from a regular Path of Exile release, but also some game-wide expansion content that isn't tied to the league itself. It's a bit larger in size than any other Path of Exile release in 2019.
We have been really excited about a league idea that we wanted to do for a while but didn't have the technology or resources to pull off. While we can't share more information about the league just yet, we can tell you that it contains a good balance of risk vs reward, compelling endgame content and is a whole lot less server-melty.
Alongside the league and expansion content mentioned above, 3.9.0 contains some new item rewards that should provide interesting new character build options and a fresh metagame. We're also focusing some balance attention on bows, though this revamp isn't of the same scale as our spellcasting and melee changes earlier this year. The expansion also includes all the usual divination cards, unique items, new skills and so on that you're used to from Path of Exile releases.
We're really looking forward to next month, where we can show you what we have been working on!
I think I legitimately might be more interested in exilecon then blizzcon this year.

ExileCon fully begins today (~6hrs from now?): https://www.pathofexile.com/exilecon
personally I'm interested in the "Game Designers Answer your Hardcore Questions" talk, and the Kripp stuff. Even tho Kripp is pretty far removed from PoE these days I'm still an old fan at heart I suppose
4.0 hype could be interesting but it's probably more than a year out still
|
I'll tune is just for the chance at free cosmetics...
|
There's a lot of good stuff happening off stream, hope they get videos up quickly.

are you there?. gief leeks

nah, just looking at the schedule

I just read they are doing some big 4.0 version to get ahead of whatever Diablo IV brings ^^
|
After last years Blizzcon GGG already said they had 4.0 in the works as direct counter to Diablo 4 and were quite surprised Blizzard didn't announce. So now they had another year to tweak and polish it, makes me pretty hyped for it :-)

They sold some stake of the company to Tencent in order to fund the expansion they felt they needed to go head to head with D4. They were originally going to release 4.0 this year thinking that D4 was going to be released so they started scheduling exilecon for the final released but now everything's back a year so its just an announcement for next years 4.0 and they'll just do 3.9 3.10 3.11 until 4.0 gets released. This is from the words of the companies founder who isn't afraid to and came on a podcast after the tencent sale and blizzcon last year.
I'm really hyped. A year of massive speculation. For perspective 3.0 was the inclusion of 6 more acts to a game with 4 acts in it.

I hope they are going for a bottoms up overhaul (and by that I mean updated engine ect, the gameplay itself is fine) and not more acts you have to go through to get to the actual game, mapping.
(also it sounds very impressive when you say they added 6 more acts to a 4 act game, but you just loop through the same 5 acts twice)
