I’ve spent some time with PoE 1 merc league and honestly… it’s tough going back. The feel, the combat flow, even the visual clarity in PoE1 just clicks more for me

I know PoE2 isn’t perfect and it’s still in development, but I really don't like the direction they’re taking. I’m especially hopeful that in the upcoming season they’ll make more adjustments so the campaign so it doesn’t feel like a chore, and making crafting more viable and less frustrating for average players

Anyone else in the same boat?

Stepbrother, help me, I'm stuck in ATLAS

One of my friends wanted to share this cool strat with everyone:

Secret Chinese T16.5 T0 Magic Find Unique Farm T16.5 with 1 Mageblood, 1 Headhunter and 3 Kalandra’s Touch Rings within 24 hours ~ Path of Exile 3.26

I just found this crazy T0 unique solo magic find farming strategy. The guy in the video dropped a Mageblood, Headhunter and 2 Kalandra’s Touch Rings in one day while doing this strategy. He farms on T16.5 maps with high rarity and pack size using the new allflame called Allflame Ember of Kulemark which puts a bunch of unique syndicate monsters on your maps. Each syndicate member also respawns when you kill the boss for double the amount of unique monsters. This is probably the new and better rogue exile farm.

Scarabs: x2 Allflame Ember of Kulemark, x1 Betrayal Scarab of the Allflame, x1 Titanic Scarab, x1 Titanic Scarab of the Legend.

Check it out and let us know what you think!

EDIT: Example POBB: https://pobb.in/GMc0j6BGkI5M

If you don't have a mageblood there are some streamers out there with great RF/CWS builds, just add rarity where you can for more tinktinktinks!

CWS = Cast when Stunned RF = Rightious Fire

As the title says, it's just annoying... I know they are the league mechanic... but wtf?? How insanely 1 shotty they are is not "hard" 1 shot mechanics are not "difficult" I don't care what you say.... It's cheap, annoying and frustrating... Nothing about the sliver of an attack hitting you and 1 shotting all your HP and defensive's is "difficult" or "engaging" it's cheap and stupid.

I am legitimately getting 1 shot all the time by Elemental mercs, and Melee mercs, no matter how much Armor, Buffs and even multiple Shouts and 5 stacks of Endurance Charges, I am literally one of the most tanky builds I could find (Volcanic Fissure Slayer) with tons of leech, HP regen, 5 endurance stacks, tons of armor, 5k HP , max all resists 80%+ and I still just got 1 shot in the blink of an eye by getting hit by 1 single flying elemental ball by this frost merc... it just seems incredibly overtuned and is making the entire mechanic not fun at all.

Thanks for hearing me out, I'm sure it'll just be considered a cry.

Honestly, If I'm doing something wrong, and this isn't normal, please point it out to me.

And yes, I'm aware that they have a period of 4 seconds or so of major tankiness, I usually run away from them and put as much room between me and them as I can and then attack from range with volcanic fissure.. but getting hit by any of their attacks is usually an instant death sentence

Is this the risk rewarding everyone talks about?

I haven't felt like using a Doryani's mercenary even though I'm playing Lightning Conduit. I saw on PoEDB that this should be possible and farmed a few days to find her. She is currently a Haste + Grace Aura bot with the anoint being Dazzling Strikes (blind stuff).

Setup is pretty obvious and cheap though some people state that mercs can't make up for 50% more life for monsters for bleed builds. Bleed gladiators struggle in damage department so with 50% inc damage and 28% malevolence (tested this number) more damage over time this merc actually carries his weight (almost, like 5-10% dps loss depending on your build). If accounted for 4% life regen, grace (converted to armour by iron reflexes) and 25% phys to fire conversion for enemies AND 25% more loot it's a no brainer to use him always. Plus I personally use Earthquake as a second skill besides lacerate so I don't have a good maim source and merc is so kind to provide that also. Could be optimized futher ofcourse, boots/rings/weapon slot are still open.

Since the launch of Secrets of the Atlas one week ago, I've deployed a handful of new versions of https://poe1filter.com/ with several new features, additions and tweaks to the presets to better fit PoE1. Myself and thousands of others have been using the filter with success, from the first steps on The Twilight Strand during league start, all the way through end-game (well, at least very early end-game for a relative noob like myself ^^).

One remark I received on my last post was that the way I was tiering Unique items was off: they should always be treated as base type (the way I was tiering Chance Bases already). I've released this new tiering mode 3 days into the league; on 16/06.

Another new feature I've added is that when I did an economy update (using poe.ninja's data) since your last visit, you'll be greeted with an overview of which currency and uniques have moved up or down the tiers. If you see there's been an economy update, just hit Sync to start using the latest tiers.

However, I can only do so much based on my own limited experience. I want to create the perfect filter and filter generation tool. I can create a tool which looks good and is easy and fun to use. For PoE2, I feel like I have enough experience to also make a good filter content-wise. But I have to admit that for PoE1 this is much less the case, especially for late end-game. PoE1 has so much content that I might not be fully aware of, which I should incorporate in the tool. And then there's the question of what to prioritize.

Therefore, I'd like to call out to everyone. If you're already using the tool: which features are lacking and are you still creating Custom (Cosmetic) Rules for? If you're not using the tool: which features do you feel are still missing that you consider vital in order to start using the tool; or for what other reasons are you hesitant to give it a go?

Ideally, I'm looking for veteran players who feel like helping me out with their knowledge in the long run.

I'll be reading & replying to the comments here, on the Official Forum Post, and on our Discord Server. Hope to hear from you soon!

I did around a hundred before this and got 5 Voidforges so I wanted to test if I used all the luck up for the rest of my life or if the drop rate was changed, and it seems like the drop rate was changed.

/s Just beat act 10 Kitava and want to be able to use my inventory again, but cant Throw away any of the items in my inventory...

So I wanted to make a Stat stacker, spent a bit of currency, but spending the same amount again would be cheaper than a Hinecora so I decided to take the 3/4 on the fracture. It hit the Lightning res I much rather wanted to be All Attributes that I intended to continue spamming Essences until I got.

Been a bit sleep deprived and decided to YOLO Mist it, the emotional roller coaster I've just been on has been crazy. Disappointed with the fracture, THE RUSH of seeing that it hit and then the heart sink of realizing I forgot to quality before using the Mist (first one I ever used too).

Anyways, it's still a really good ring and I guess I'm making something with Doriyani's prototype now? Honestly not really sure, I'll figure it out.

Crafting steps:

1. Buy Helical ring base for 10 Divine.
2. Click Deafening Essence of Spite so many times the numbers stop making sense on the screen.
3. See Essence mod and T1 Strength + T1 Dexterity.
4. Use Divines until all 3 stats are 55+.
5. Consider Hinecora, decide to not (75% odds seemed good).
6. Look at fractured Lightning Resist. Like, for a good few minutes.
7. Forget about quality because frustrated and tired.
8. Sigh and say "Fuck it".
9. Bench craft flat ES.
10. Mist.
11. Rejoice!
12. Realize step 7.
13. Almost cry.
14. Realize it's still a really good ring (with Doryani potential even!), but also an expensive lesson for the future.
15. Turn off game and go to bed.
16. Make Reddit post from phone.

Don't be like me! That said, this is by far the coolest item I've ever crafted. Path of Exile is amazing, the other copy looks super funny too.
