Path of Exile thread, the revival

[blong]

Well, even though I complain no exalted orb drops, I really in no position to talk though. I have gears that are worth an exalted orb at least dropping, most of my gear is self found and worth quite a bit. Just last night I found this level 69 Nightmare Bascinet with 98% ar/ev roll, 89 life, with 20% rarity, 40% to fire and 38% cold resist. My belt is a rustic with 64 life but with 44% cold and 42% fire resist with one slot left for crafting lightning resist.


I think tomorrow should be OK since we're the only ones in SEA having public holiday other than M'sia.

RNG is really RNG.
Just imagine finding a mirror in beta.

Both I also have random spikes to those sky high numbers once in a while, but since I have been just joining parties and zerg everything, I can still manage with those spikes

When you join a party, it will be aligned to the party leader's gateway, that's why you get terrible ping sometimes.

they should introduce the map in cruel difficulty lah..

i think their intention is for players to be familiar with the game mechanics and their own build b4 letting them to do the end game.. and not easy if got a cui build.. its simply a waste of portals and XP

most of players might quit before they even try the map.

I think we can have lower lvl map to grind lvl / gears to complete the cruel difficult and to gear toward merciless content.

Now i am grinding level and gears inside the crypt.. very boring

The only gear check is Malachai. You should progress to act 3 and farm docks, no point staying in act 2 Crypt, act 3's dock is better.

Maps are end game, difficult and can roll very punishing mods. There is no reason for them to introduce this in cruel mode, sometimes maps can have an unfair combination of monsters that makes it very hard for a new player who still hasn't gotten past Cruel.

I believe you can handle the boss of act 2 in Cruel easily, just clear it up and go through act 3.

I think most average players also take a week or 2 to get to Merciless act 3, quite a few people in our guild is the exception though.

Anyway for new players here, if you're in Cruel, there's no real reason to stay around for long, just go through the content quickly, it's quite easy even with trash resist and gear, the only exception would be Dominus and of course Malachai and his bros.

If really need to farm, go the usual spots in act 3 and 4. Docks in act 3, Dried lake in act 4.

 

[TrueBeliever_jh]

jus farm ledge loh~

i can farm there until lvl 52 in cruel

and it never gets boring over there~

I only start farming docks and ledge in Merciless, I don't feel like it's worth farming in Cruel mode. But these days I just farm aqueduct and dried lake.

Lake my favorite spot, easy to navigate , plenty of trunk and chests and bunch of mobs to clear, wait till my spectre ready gonna farm orbs there!

u dun really need to grind for cruel difficulties and below one, its quite inefficient. The loots u get from there are quite subpar with low chance to get high rolls. Its also very important u get to itemlvl60+ range(Merciless act2) so u can start collecting junk yellows to do your Chaos Orb vendor recipe.

u can try the "body throw" technique to clear the Malachai roadblock. basically u attempt malachai when u juz lvlup, since u cant de-level when u die, u can keep throwing your body at malachai till hes dead w/o any xp penalty. I personally died like 20+ times trying to down cruel Malachai pre-nerf with a melee char lol.

another easier way....... get to Malachai and ask a high lvl to help u down, settle in 30secs haha.

 

[Vulpix]

I managed to clear Malachai pre nerf with 1 death so far.

playing melee is the challenge part where if your lvl or gears not good. I killed Act 2 boss in cruel and when i go to act 3 , my hp seems draining too quick and dead.. lost 5%

 

[The Big Bang Theory]

Well, I believe it's just due to bad combination of mods, and a mixture of game knowledge and RNG. When you mention life draining too quick, did you get hit by a bleed? Or did you get corrupting blood stacks?

By right your life should not drain very fast, unless you stack in chaos degen cloud, or you run around while being hit with bleed stacks.
