Cassia will be a nice addition to existing masters, IMO. Optional content for those who don't enjoy TD kind of thing, but can provide fun & nice rewards to those who do like it. Browsing through the aftermath of a blighted map is nice.
I assume you mean blight encounters in maps, rather than blighted maps, because they are certainly on 2 very distinct tiers in terms of loot (and difficulty).The blight tower defence stuff is kinda fun but the rewards seem pretty rubbish early on. Like every new season, I jump back in to try new builds out and see how it goes haha.
Shit, I completely forgot about ring blight enchants.............I read a strategy somewhere:
- 2x Scout Tower range ring enchant (scout = t4 minion tower)
- 3x -20% tower build & upgrade cost (total of -60%) on map
- Spam scout towers near pump & in other appropriate places
Even red blighted maps have been ez clear after that. Not many things get even within 1 screen of pump. Some of the bosses maybe.
Sometimes tower build locations can screw you over but it's manageable.
What about minion resistant monsters? They ignore the lvl 1-3 minions. I assumed they'd barely take damage from scouts as well.I read a strategy somewhere:

I think kaom's heart is a fine gamble.Just got my first locus of corruption room in the temple, what should I be looking at corrupting?
If you can get a good Skin of the Loyal (with somewhat meta colors) then that can pay off HUGE. A max rolled Item quantity Sadima's Glove is also very good (can give +1 Frenzy and curse with Ele Weakness).Just got my first locus of corruption room in the temple, what should I be looking at corrupting?
I can confirm that pure physical attack builds can work when I cleared it with my Berserker in Legion, assuming you can beat Uber Elder with such a build.
Apparently Scorching Ray builds are supposed to be ideal (and I can see why because there are so few ways to defend against Damage Over Time and Scorching Ray has built in fire resistance reduction on top of inflicting burn status to prevent ES characters from healing), but I never actually looked into how one would make the build for HoGM.
You should most definitely avoid Chaos damage based builds since many builds in HoGM were made during the time CI was at its best.
Yes, Scorching Ray is good. Unless your build is really squishy you can just buy a Balefire (1c in SC Blight) and switch to that if you encounter someone unkillable with your current skill.
The problem with HOGM isn't dealing enough damage, it's just that you'll probably find a guy one shotting you out of nowhere
I remember people saying the best build for it was minion or totems??
Is that the big on or the small one? Also how many runs to get it?So I did it.. finally got that god damn Celestial Hideout. I am so happy to have this account bound
There's just one of them, right?Is that the big on or the small one? Also how many runs to get it?
I keep mistaking that for the Shaped Hideout for sale in the shop. Celestial is the big one lol.There's just one of them, right?
It probably took me 200+ runs.
Oh shit didn't realize there was another.I keep mistaking that for the Shaped Hideout for sale in the shop. Celestial is the big one lol.
I think the progress in the supplemental parts of the gameplay in PoE are way, way too slow to progress, I mean legion shards weren't particularly common in legion proper, now they are rare as hens teeth, same with syndicate progress, it creeps up at a crawl.Ha, timeless conflict seems like a good way to lose money. I did a 3-way in Legion and a 4-way yesterday. Both times result was a couple of rares and some random currency. In 4-way I killed everything ~10 times at least. Well, maybe 5-slot map device is worth it? Dunno, ~400c for a 5-slot device seems like a lot. Maybe it's balanced HeadHunter parties in mind?
From now on I'll be selling all legion shards.
80% tooY'all think GGG would back up a POE streamer if they made pro Hong Kong comments? Have to remember that GGG is under Tencent now.

Blizzard banned one of their Pro Hearthstone players in China for speaking up for Hong Kong during a HS event. Not only did they remove him from the tournament circuit but garnished his winning money as well. They fired the two casters during the interview, removed the archived VOD and then disabled all comments on their forums, reddit etc. related to it.

It's a total shit show and showing once again how Blizzars cares first and foremost about money above all else.
The equivalent to GGG would be if during a POE racing event Zizaran (after already winning previous races and events) shows support for Hong Kong, they remove him from the race, nullify his previous achievements and earnings, fire ZiggD and RaizQT who were casting the event, then put the POE reddit on invite only lock down, remove the VOD of the event and disable any conversation about this fiasco on their forums. And then of course banned and deleted his various POE game accounts.
Can't they like IP ban users? I am sure if they hard wanted Zizaran to never stream POE again they would be able to.Banning a streamer would be pointless. They can just make a new account and all you have done is piss off your fans. Worst GGG can do is not send a free ExileCon ticket or something.
So I think GGG will shrug its shoulders and pretend it doesn't know what happens in Twitch.
? nobody is boycotting anybodyAre we just playing what ifs here, or are people considering boycotting PoE because of the Tencent thing?
GGG hasn't done anything yet to warrant boycotting POE.Are we just playing what ifs here, or are people considering boycotting PoE because of the Tencent thing?
