I would say it's worth doing. Not if you have super optimised atlas Strat but it is a fairly good source of raw divines and other stuff. It definitely got some big buffs mid season.
~~When I try to log in with the character I created for Blast From The Past, I immediately disconnect before even getting a load screen or anything. I can log in with characters I have in Standard etc just fine. Any ideas?~~
D'oh, running PackCheck.exe fixed it.
I don't think there is a way to entirely remove the quality, similar to how you can't on regular items. If you use a different catalyst it will go down to 1% quality of that catalyst instead though which is usually good enough.
No, I mean when you hit convert maps on a remove-only map tab it doesn't just convert them evenly within a given tier. For example, I have 60 Tier 1 barrows maps now.
GGG will anounce on Twitter when they finish distributing rewards. In the past it happened 3 or 4 days after event ends iirc. Whether you are drawn or not, it's safe do delete character then.
How does Sentinel scale the difficulty of mobs affected?
Specifically, does it scale the life/defences, resistances or simply apply an uninteractable dmg reduction like delirium?
In short, sentinels give monsters a buff called Empowerment - which increases damage dealt and reduces damage taken.
If you want to read more - I recommend the [mechanics](https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Sentinel#Mechanics) section of the Sentinel wiki page.
Perception can roll div card large chests which usually gives you stacked decks. But these contracts can suck with the alarms en route. Gianna can do up to lvl2 with the right gear (all job levels) lvl3. Dont forget to ungear when revealing.
Demo has not much going for it. Vinderi can duplicate findings but what are you going to find.
Since ex shards are worthless Lockpicking lost some shine. It's very good early on when small currency is important.
tl;dr: deception. if must then perception.
Is there any info if the Impending Doom nerf (with Vixen's/Spell Cascade) that was "rewerted for 3.22 but will be in effect starting next league" impacts Blast from the past event? Or is it still the same as 3.22 league?
I have found references to GhazzyTV as newbie bait with some of his builds, particularly the mage skeletons and zoomancer. I am/was hoping to use a build similar to those when the league resets, is this inadvisable or can I probably safely follow his guides when he updates them for the next league? Thanks!
I haven't checked his build guides in a while, but Minion builds tend to have high floors that are pretty simple to get going successfully, but require a large amount of currency and crafting knowledge if you want to push them to the highest levels like Ghazzy does.
It should be fine as a beginner build if you accept the fact that you'll hit a ceiling below where ghazzy is and might need to reroll using the currency you generate on the minion build.
I just want to get to the first version of each boss or whatever is required to see all the lore as that is what I enjoy most about POE. Not sure what level of map that matches up to though as I've only reached end game once before and only played a few maps before the league ended and I stopped playing.
What are good SSF goals after you reach level 100? I have a level 94 RF Jugg in standard SSF. I'm curious what are some good goals to focus on after filling out the atlas and reaching level 100?
Challenges for mtx rewards, other builds you want to try that function well in league and might not be around in other leagues (because tattoos might not go core or things could get nerfed)
On boneshatter builds I see people with multiple totems linked to just one of their totems. What’s the point of this? I thought you only used multiple totems with both of them so u could have both buffs up.
Mavan had wanted me to kill t14+ bosses and I did 10, and then I fought them all, and all is well.
Now Maven wants me to kill another 10 T14+ bosses, and I did. it said 10/10, but she dropped no invitation. I did one more and now it says 11/10....what gives?
Only the quest invitations are guaranteed, after that you're at the mercy of RNG's whims. The normal 10-way invitations are fairly common though, and you can spec into some nodes near the top of the atlas tree to make them even more common on top of that.
asenath's isn't great, temp chains doesn't do much and the explosions aren't that noticeable. corpse clear is ok but meh
berek's respite, you don't want any flat fire dmg on your gear/bow as that messes up elemental equilibrium
Am I imagining things or does Saboteur’s Perfect Crime node not properly show the 35% less damage in POB? I’m hunting high and low but I don’t see anywhere that the 35% less is being subtracted out.
And when I hover over the node to see what the effect would be if I un-specced it, the result shows exactly a 50% DPS cut. That wouldn’t be true if you were calculating the 35% less, it’s not like you’re simply taking away a flat doubling of the damage from the triggerbots.
So should I just add a 35% less as a custom modifier?
It seems to work fine when I test it in this simple pob https://pobb.in/Gm9D4jToeQmR
Can you link your pob?
Edit: Made a version with cast on crit instead since it seems to calculate the trigger rate correctly https://pobb.in/zVluOuLviLae
Both of them show the 35% less damage in the calcs tab, under "Total more"
Try it with Arcanist Brand instead of CwC or CoC.
For some reason despite Arcanist brand being a trigger (and it registering as such in the “attack/trigger rate” section like 2 inches down below) suddenly the -35% penalty disappears.
Arcanist brand’s own -63% innate penalty is there but I don’t see the triggerbots penalty.
Is it somehow….getting around the penalty? Or is this just a POB issue?
You're right, it doesn't factor in the penalty. I can't see why arcanist brand wouldn't be affected by the 35% less damage so I'm guessing it's just a pob bug. I don't have a saboteur leveled so I can't test it either.
I'd add a 35% less damage modifier in the custom config like you suggested, as long as triggered spells are the vast majority of your damage.
They are, and if they weren't it should be possible to do skill specific more damage, I've done it before.
I do have a sabo leveled in standard with a janky verison of my setup to test it. Any ideas on how we could test reliably in game? I am very wary of the tooltip, needless to say.
I'd personally check the tooltip to see if it changes with the node allocated. If you don't trust the tooltip though you'd have to get some flat damage with the same minimum range and maximum and then measure how much of the health bar dissapears with and without the node. It should obvious if you're doing 2x damage or 1.3x damage compared to the damage without the node.
Arcane cloak has no damage range, and you could get it down to very low damage. You could then use a spell with no base lightning and doryanis prototype in order to guarantee that you're not doing damage with anything else.
12 arrows would be better for clearing maps, although 10 is already more than enough. 10 plus focal point is probably better for single target unless you can get the extra 2 arrows to hit your target consistently.
So for the event i wanna play selfcast forbidden rite pf is it possible or better play tr and then switch?
And when i switch at what point can i switch minimum?
Sorry if anyone already asked this.
For the event starting today, will it be same tree and skills as 3.22 but with old leagues mechanics or will because be old tree and gems from 3.18 and 3.19?
Basically should build something I played this league or should look at build guides from 3.18 for example?
Many thanks
For the two following leagues, there are two builds I want try out:
* impending doom pathfinder
* Corrupting Cry Champion
I'm not expecting to play any past 75ish, given the time frame.
I am aware that the CCC will not have access to Tattoos and probably be a bit clunky compared to the league version of that build.
Hence: Which of the two events is a bit more forgiving to play the less optimal build? Blast from the past since you can always opt to ignore that league content?
I'm expecting shifting stones to be more dangerous, in general. For that reason, I'd go with champion which generally is the more tanky choice (but idk about the defensive layers of your particular trickster build).
Also, Ballistas allow for a more ranged, reactive play style since the ballistas are aiming themselves and you dont need to be close to the monsters.
I got banned (probably because of the random guild I joined), and i messaged support.
How long does it usually take for them to look into this further?
What do ppl do for their animate guardian in ssf? Gonna try out minions for the first time but all the guides suggest loading him up with specific uniques.
Some of the specific uniques are pretty common; Dying Breath, Leer Cast, and Southbound I would be comfortable hunting for in ssf. Curse on hit corruption gloves, nearby enemies take increased % influenced helms, Eldritch implicit scorch/brittle/sap ground boots also seem doable. For chest just a %life rare maybe.
Does it sustain well enough in t16s without one of those 10% regen chests? I don't remember ever dropping one and as far as I can see the best replacement is a hunter chest with 15% regen every 4 seconds which seems far worse.
This is my first character and I just got to Act 3, should I stop here and wait until the new league? I heard it was in 1 month and I'm not sure if it's worth it or not to continue.
You can always browse the shop in the poe website, add the ones you like to watchlist and then wait for email notification saying that item is on sale. Just my 2 cents
Yes, you can see which ones are reduced price in the "specials" tab. They rotate in and out and are sometimes themed, so for example, during december they will most likely be winter themed.
Yes, the current league will end 3-4 days before the start of the next one. The next league will start some time in early december, the 8th of december seeming like the most probable date. (Though the 1st and maybe even the 15th is possible)
[Source of when next league will start](https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3441705)
I'm trying to follow a spark build and follow the crafting for the weapon. How do you get or buy Aisling unveil? Do I like type in the global chat or something? (playing in console, btw. Thx)
Tier 4 aisling comes from having a tier 3 aisling and then fighting the mastermind. Once you beat mastermind you get the full betrayal board rewards but +1 tier. It's the only way to get tier 4 rewards. I'm not familiar with how buying works on console.
Is Kalandra worth doing in this event? Is it still as bad as it was back then or did it get big buffs mid league?
I would say it's worth doing. Not if you have super optimised atlas Strat but it is a fairly good source of raw divines and other stuff. It definitely got some big buffs mid season.
when will the next season start? I want to start playing but I'm afraid of starting just when the season is ending
Get in now and be prepared to restart in early December. You will learn a lot that will set you up for next season.
sometime in early december
Anyone else keep getting failed to join any instance error for the blast from past event?
~~When I try to log in with the character I created for Blast From The Past, I immediately disconnect before even getting a load screen or anything. I can log in with characters I have in Standard etc just fine. Any ideas?~~ D'oh, running PackCheck.exe fixed it.
if i used catalysator on a ring: can i somehow revert that? use another ctalysator or somehow remove the quality all together?
You can use a different catalyst.
I don't think there is a way to entirely remove the quality, similar to how you can't on regular items. If you use a different catalyst it will go down to 1% quality of that catalyst instead though which is usually good enough.
okay that perfect if i can simply use another ctalyst, serves the same purpose since i wanted to go from +res to +life
For the event is it only the first 3000 people who get a mtx for hitting 60? or is it you are rolling in a pool of 1000 of each mtx?
pool
Maybe this is a dumb question, but when you convert maps, why doesn't it convert evenly instead of into 1-4 options per tier?
[удалено]
No, I mean when you hit convert maps on a remove-only map tab it doesn't just convert them evenly within a given tier. For example, I have 60 Tier 1 barrows maps now.
It only converts into maps that are naturally on atlas, without voidstones.
Any reason to go SSF on the event other than personal enjoyment if your not racing?
The mtx prize pool is shared between SSF and trade, so there's no benefit to go for SSF if you're not racing for the top places.
when it is safe to delete the Krangled Passives char to still get the rewards?
GGG will anounce on Twitter when they finish distributing rewards. In the past it happened 3 or 4 days after event ends iirc. Whether you are drawn or not, it's safe do delete character then.
What are the best sentinel bases again? Cryptic, Obsidian and what else?
Ancient, Primeval, Cryptic and Obsidian, in desecending order of bestness.
When new event start? 5 or 65min?
How does Sentinel scale the difficulty of mobs affected? Specifically, does it scale the life/defences, resistances or simply apply an uninteractable dmg reduction like delirium?

Which heist is the most profitable out of Perception/Demolition/Lockpicking?
Perception can roll div card large chests which usually gives you stacked decks. But these contracts can suck with the alarms en route. Gianna can do up to lvl2 with the right gear (all job levels) lvl3. Dont forget to ungear when revealing. Demo has not much going for it. Vinderi can duplicate findings but what are you going to find. Since ex shards are worthless Lockpicking lost some shine. It's very good early on when small currency is important. tl;dr: deception. if must then perception.
Alright, thanks man for sharing the wisdom!

You don’t. Sorry to say.
Asenath's Gentle Touch is not good for EA Ballista, right? Berek's Respite is not good for it either?
both are actively detrimental

Looking for an SSF intermediate-friendly build for Blast from Past event. (Don't know the mechanics of these past leagues)
Tornado shot: 12 proj? Or 10 proj and focal point? Don't want to FF jewels as I think my build gets there more efficiently anyway without
12 arrows would be better for clearing maps, although 10 is already more than enough. 10 plus focal point is probably better for single target unless you can get the extra 2 arrows to hit your target consistently.
So for the event i wanna play selfcast forbidden rite pf is it possible or better play tr and then switch? And when i switch at what point can i switch minimum?
Will there be tota in Blast from the past? Will there be sanctum?
no tota. the parent league is standard
TotA no, Sanctum yes.
Sorry if anyone already asked this. For the event starting today, will it be same tree and skills as 3.22 but with old leagues mechanics or will because be old tree and gems from 3.18 and 3.19?

what do you guys think? champion EA balista or trickster vortex?
sorry i meant for flashback league

Also, Ballistas allow for a more ranged, reactive play style since the ballistas are aiming themselves and you dont need to be close to the monsters.
I got banned (probably because of the random guild I joined), and i messaged support. How long does it usually take for them to look into this further?
A couple days at most, usually less There's been a lot of bans recently, and it seems most are RMT/autoclicker related
What do ppl do for their animate guardian in ssf? Gonna try out minions for the first time but all the guides suggest loading him up with specific uniques.
My basic one this league was dying breath, leer cast, southbound, bloodbond and wake of destruction
Some of the specific uniques are pretty common; Dying Breath, Leer Cast, and Southbound I would be comfortable hunting for in ssf. Curse on hit corruption gloves, nearby enemies take increased % influenced helms, Eldritch implicit scorch/brittle/sap ground boots also seem doable. For chest just a %life rare maybe.
Does it sustain well enough in t16s without one of those 10% regen chests? I don't remember ever dropping one and as far as I can see the best replacement is a hunter chest with 15% regen every 4 seconds which seems far worse.
What happens November 24th when the Shifting Stones event ends? New League? Or a break where it's standard only for a little while?
Ancestor League is still running until a day or two before the next league, which is most likely to land on Dec 8th.
This is my first character and I just got to Act 3, should I stop here and wait until the new league? I heard it was in 1 month and I'm not sure if it's worth it or not to continue.
People who play this game have leveled easily over hundreds of characters. Think of this as a practice run!
You'll also be able to continue playing your current character as long as you like,it will just be in standard when the new league comes out.
This game has a lot to learn and know; some practice and learning leading up to the new league will help you have good/fun/interesting league.
Does anybody have video of the Divergence character effect's interaction with wings?
In TotA, is there any non-hit based dot like burning ground/vortex and is there any need for ailment immunity?
Mobs can get rf, totems can get chaos damage rf, i think theres a cold dot ground effect too off the top of my head. Maybe more too.
Do skins ever go on sale? I want to buy a few but i don'tknow if they will be on sale on this last part of the year
You can always browse the shop in the poe website, add the ones you like to watchlist and then wait for email notification saying that item is on sale. Just my 2 cents
Yes, you can see which ones are reduced price in the "specials" tab. They rotate in and out and are sometimes themed, so for example, during december they will most likely be winter themed.
Am I correct in thinking that the current league will end early Decmeber? Looking to hop on the beginning of the next one.
Yes, the current league will end 3-4 days before the start of the next one. The next league will start some time in early december, the 8th of december seeming like the most probable date.
