If all parts of a set are needed, and one doesn't drop, rest might as well be vendor trash. It's a bit annoying to pretend that every fully juiced metamorph kill drops parts you can use only to never let people actually use them.

The times I find a unique eye, the meter doesn't fill up enough for me to actually get the drop lol.
As far as I know they aren't related anymore are they? It's just random what drops from a boss now.
Yeah it's random. Can't target farm. The only other "rare" organ I've found was 3 livers. Everything else is mostly brains
Fucking christ, since the patch it took 40ish maps to get one eye to drop. I probably saw maybe 3 other ones in total, but no full bar for those.
But lost 20% to that metamorph because it had some bullshit that popped me out of nowhere. Died a few times to some of those influenced poisoned mobs too, wasn't sure which enemies it was; they're just lobbing bombs from off screen

Couldn't even mange sirus on awakening level 0. Last phase is full of dumb fucking one shots you can't see coming and I don't mean the asteroid attack.
Pure trash.
The cyclones all over the arena are also dogshit.

Yes we have a guild on PC. Write your CHARACTER name here or send via pm and an officer will invite you.
I'm playing golemancer as a league starter and just bopped into Awankener after I leveled so I wouldn't lose XP when I ripped all the portals. What a shitshow that fight is if you rely on long-lasting minions.
The economy this league feels jacked. I'm sitting on about 18ex and I feel poor.

So I've played most seasons but always stopped at around lvl 50 so have no concept of the maps or what currency is actually worth anything. For the first time I've actually beaten the campaign and am level 74.
What should my priority be now? Maps seems too hard for me (I just get flat out one shot every so often) so I assume I should farm resistance gear? I'm on solo self found and playing lightning arc.
To get the resistance items should I just delve or where do I go now if not maps?

Just farm Blood Aqueducts and start iding Rares that you can use. I would also make sure to complete all side quests that give passive points if you missed those. Also at least try to complete Cruel Labyrinth and then once you have better gear go for Mercliess Lab.
Also the Crafting Bench in your hideout can craft Resistances on your gear. You should be prioritizing +Maximum Life and Resistances on Rares. Addition of movement speed on boots, stats on rings/amulets to meet gem/equipment requirements (so Strength/DeX amulet). Only offensive stats on your main weapon and I am not sure which build that is but you can use a Shield in Off hand and that's another slot you can have resistances (Spirit shields can also give offensive stats to spells as well do be on look out for those).
You can Delve anyway just to progress in it and unlock a few new crafts. You will eventually run out of Sulphite anyway if you don't go into maps.
Yea I did try the cruel lab a couple of times but again got 1 shot. My resistances are awful so it's probably that.
Can I add those things from the crating bench to any rare item? It doesn't remove/replace? It's just a flat additional stat? If that's the case I am a dumb ass... made some very poor decisions with items! Oh well.
I am using staffs for the record. So no shield slot sadly. That crating bench thing will help so much if I am understanding correctly
That helps a shit load. Thanks very much!
As long as it has room (you can only have 3 prefixes and 3 suffixes)

So they fixed organ drops finally. Didn't drop a single eye yesterday despite playing 30+ maps lol
There apparently is a bug now where it's possible to get 0 brains during a map. I've seen at least 2 Reddit posts about it, not sure how common it is.
Oh didn't know I could do that.

I assume that will work? Lvl 73 not 74 it seems! I'm sure that doesn't make much difference.

I still had only one eye drop after 6 hours tonight, but it is better than none!
I have only had 2 exalts drop this league and both were from Metamorph 'bosses'.

If at all possible, I would try to get arc in your 5-link. This would massively boost your damage. But I don't know if rerolling socket colors is possible since you are in SSF. If you have very few chromes I wouldn't risk losing golem compatible sockets.

Yea I kinda went a bit crazy and spent nearly all of my colour changing orbs and the change number of links orbs on some random piece of gear and It ended up not working out and I spent ermm well rather a lot of them!
I still have some of the colour changers I think just not a a huge amount maybe 20-30? Can't remember exactly. I can maybe try getting the staff all blue I could use added lightning support then which I imagine will be a huge bump
Don't forget that more quality on an item means more chance of better results from Jewellers orbs and fusings.
I imported your character to Path of Building and it seems like your cold and lightning resistances are negative: -16%. You have about 4.2k life+ES total, that should get you started on maps and get you through white maps at least. But you should get lightning and cold resistances both to 75% as quickly as possible. This is what is killing you. Maps can be done with your 4-link so the 5-link can wait.
Yea the chest armour was the last thing I got before I logged off last night. Haven't had a chance to mess with it yet! I will sort that part later.
When I finish work I'm just going to try and get rings with resistance / enchant gear I already have. My resistances were -1% for those two I thought! Still awful but not quite as bad.
I have been too focused on improving DPS / energy shield that I ignored the resistances. Didnt see to matter really until now
It's all good, crafting bench will help a lot. You should have resistance recipes there unlocked.
One last thing, you should get a "guard" skill: https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Guard_Skill
Steelskin for example: https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Steelskin
With this skill you can absorb damage in dangerous situations. It goes up to 2.2k dmg absorbed so it'd be like 50% extra hp for you.
I've been slower to get into higher end maps than I would like. I'm hitting tier 14 or so now after wasting time worrying about being efficient instead of just smashing shit out, but its all good.
My setup is a bit on the odd side, but with Spirit Offering affecting me (which is basically always because I'm using 3 CWDT triggers and Scold's) I sit on around 4.8K life and 2.6K ES. With very minimal investment too. There is much I could improve but things are mostly pretty damn smooth given I have only spent like 40c on the build.

I'm thinking of rerolling to a new character but I'm not sure what. The Purifying flame miner build I started with is fun but it's such a glass cannon and it's becoming more frustrating to play than I would like. I'd like to try a CI/energy shield build for the first time maybe, and I know there are some Herald of Agony options there that should work well, but I think CI builds are generally pretty expensive? I haven't had any luck with decent drops yet.
I'm doing a CWC Cyclone/VD Witch at the moment. The CWDT setups are CWDT>Unearth>GMP>Volley, CWDT>Wave of Conviction>Spirit Offering, CWDT>Assassin's Mark>Desecrate>Spell Cascade.
I sorta followed a build structure but changed a bit I think would work better. But with Scold's Bridle and Doedre's Malevolence, doing anything basically causes you to trigger all of those CWDT skills. Then you have Cyclone with Cast when channeling Volatile Dead, supported with energy leech. Energy leech with spirit offering make you way more tanky than you would expect given you sorta hurt yourself to trigger everything. Having said that, getting into tier 14+, metamorphs especially or shit bosses like the Lair/Dark Forest guy will absolutely wreck me.
When I finally get Desert Spring map with divine vessel it should make some painful things much more pleasant though.

CI builds can be pretty expensive, luckily for you dense fossils are pretty cheap so far in the league, so you can craft pieces you're missing. I recommend investing in block or evasion (if you're thinking on using trickster) as an added defensive layer, also you should strive for a 9.5k ES baseline before making the change to CI.
You can add Resistances to Rare items as long as they have an open Suffix.
Each Rare item can have up to 6 affixes, three prefixes and three suffixes. You can hold down Alt to see these stats on an item but you need to enable Advance item description in the options first.

32/32 watchstones finally. 89 hours on this character.
Never been so loaded too, and I didn't go deep in delve yet :

I tried fossil crafting for the first time and I think I got a bit lucky by crafting spectre boots that would sell for ~3-5ex on market.
I was feeling good until I crafted a red tier metamorph with extra life and double regen. And he might have inherited soul eater from the map boss too. Oops.

Metamorphs are fine then you face blade vortex and all your evasion and dodge is thrown out the window
If you are planning on making a bow build make sure you figure out a single target. Was gearing a bow character, and the single target was lacking even on a six link. Still have a couple of different expensive items to buy though. Barrage is probably fine fully geared, but not 100% sure. Another note ice shot is really good right now. The clear is awesome, and it feels really nice to play.
Has to be over 100+ hours easily. It was the grind to 32 watchstones that did me in. Kept having to run maps I hated.
Ice Shot was always good for clearing but lacked in single target. You generally either used Barrage or Voidflecher for single target.
Galvanic Arrow can be built for single target as well. I like to use it with Lightning Arrow (which has similar strengths and weaknesses to Ic÷ Shot).
If you main skill has enough single target built in (like say Galvanic Arrow) and clears fine then you can use a Ballista set up to aid you in single target. Blast Rain + Artillery Ballistas is really good for this.
The bow changes came out in the wrong challenge league just like the melee changes came out in the wrong league. It's about single target now and while bows can dish out enough single target damage, it's not on the level of summoners, miners traps which is why close to 50% of the playerbase is either a Necromancer or a Saboteur. Maybe if next league is clear speed again people will give the bow builds a second look even though Tornado Shot is still absurdly strong as a bow skill.

Toxic Rain or Caustic Arrow Trickster are fairly tanky. As is Scourge Arrow Hyrri's Ire CI Trickster. Elemental Hit bow builds were also fairly tanky before now you need to give up some of the tankyness to have better damage (due to nerfs). Burning Arrow or Explosive Arrow Chieftain/Scion/Elementalist/Champion can be made tanky as well (9k life) but lack in speed.
Raider anything is fairly tanky due to insane evasion and dodge but its RNG based. Raider was a top Delver last league in Softcore. Trickster is less damage and speed but more reliable defense and QoL.
Generally to make a tanky bow build you use a non Ranger class. Like RaizQT made an Explosive Arrow Champion for SSFHC while others have made Chieftain Burning Arrow.
I think the most extreme tanky bow build could be like Raider Explosive Arrow. You can just pump everything into life and get a Kaoms Heart then have enough evasion + dodge with a blind somewhere. That would make it so that most hits would simply just miss and then you would have a big enough life pool to avoid the one shots generally. You generally aren't going to find a lot of these type of builds online because the bow build is generally for people who like glass cannon builds so they go full zoom on bow characters as that is popular. Need to really look around or theory craft your own like RaizQT has done.
