Homerboy... check the bad boy I just looted

Only 2 Sockets unlinked but will make a very good leveling Wand

What level did you say you were? Where are you getting the IIR from?

Last season I ran a tornado shot shadow....he was pretty epic but I hit a wall at about 72 or so. Had no room for IIR at all.

Also have you tried the aura's yet? I picked up HoT because that's what LiftingNerdBro said to use...not sure if something else is viable? Do you use curses?

I am level 46 now.. holding off on Cruel to farm some Loot from Act 4 bosses. I got very lucky with IR drops on Yellows earlier in leveling.
I am running Clarity Aura until I get Blood magic.
I have herald of Thunder leveling up, so might switch to that once I free up Health reserve. Its a very good Dmg boost, but could not sustain Clarity + Herald.
Have not needed to run curses but will start to focus on them as I move through Cruel.

I'm still in standard mode (lvl 28.. i think) but yeah I've been keeping an eye for flasks that remove bleeds. Is it normal to out-level the quest line? when I was in Act to i was a good 6 levels or so above each map I was exploring.

Its very normal to outlevel quests. Leveling pace is much better in POE 2.0

Yeah that's a nice one!

We're just going to have a bunch of totems being dropped in this ATOT Guild

For sure...!!! Anyways almost level 47... one more boss run then going to move to cruel. I can switch back to normal and hand gear to you right still, even if I move on to Cruel?

Man, I feel like your guys' heads would spin at some of my more "basic" characters, like my 2H Staff Crit Cyclone Vacuum Knockback character in Warbands, or my Elemental Buzzsaw ranger in Warbands (DAMN ALPHA'S HOWL PRICES IN WARBANDS, I CAN'T WAIT FOR LEAGUE MERGE WITH STANDARD SO I CAN PLAY HER FURTHER), or my Oro's Sacrifice Flicker Strike Duelist (imagine 8+ flicker strike attacks per second, each doing thousands of damage, on a 2H user with nearly 5000HP).

That's not even counting my Mjollner character

Oh I've seen and played with sever "uber-builds". I just don't have neither the time nor patience to get deep into games anymore. POE at a "newb" level is more than enough entertainment for my 5 or so hours a week

I have played trickier Characters but with work, family and girlfriend, I do
not have the time anymore.

I've only ever followed someone's build guide once (Mathil's Fakener - cast on crit cyclone discharge). I generally just do my own thing, often taking ideas of other people's builds and making them my way.

Just hit 2k Dps per totem Level 48

 

[Jax Omen]

Nice! Level 48, you're in what, act 2 or act 3 cruel?

In the Shipyard... just picked up waypoint. Now some sleep lol.
Got work in the morning. I struck gold on a shield.
Around 50% Spell dmg boost. :biggrin:

I'm online now, add Derp to be friends

 

[Homerboy]

Ok "Anandtech Guild" created.
I sent invites to those that expressed interest.
Let me know if anyone else wants an invite.

 

[Jax Omen]

I'm in! Dumped a bunch of mid-level rares and a few uniques in the stash for you guys to take, they should be useful mostly in the 40-60 range (they will need to be replaced during merciless!)

Thanks Homerboy!!!
I will check later today. (I think 8 hours ahead of you)

Thanks Jax, once I get in the guild, I will check them out. I will likewise put items in the Stash, including a crap ton of Gems.
If any of you have the Iron Will gem please let me know.

On a side note, 2.1k Dps Totems destroyed Brutus. :sneaky:
I now make a habit of grabbing as many mobs as possible, rounding them up
and watching totems work their magic.

My new shield helped a tiny bit

 

[Nograts]

I'm in the guild as well, message 'Derp' for an invite (I think I can invite).

Homer, you should see what the deal is with the points, we should have two tabs I think. I donated 50 points (1 tab) and I saw that you put in 50 points....GGG might have to fix this for us.

I will send you a PM later, hopefully you can invite. :thumbsup:

 

[Nograts]

When I look at the guild screen it shows you were tossed an invite, so check your social screen when you log on it should be there. If not send me or homer a PM of course.

The trick is to binge when a new league comes out. I have LAN parties the first night/first weekend of a new league, and we generally make it to maps after about 8-10 hours of play. After that we just enjoy the league at our own pace.

I went a little nuts in Warbands. I've personally leveled a 60+, a 70+, and an 86 and 89 in this league. Can't get past 73 maps so I stopped trying after a few hundred...

Didn't play as much as the league before where I saved up for a Windripper build, but this is the most characters I've leveled in a league.

Yeah I know I bought 50pts for the tab, but it shows our account as 0pts now. If you tossed in 50 too, we're missing 50.

Nice low-level shield I found for my witch -- solid +spell damage.

That is a VERY nice shield, especially for the level.
That will take you all the way until you get blood magic.
I assume you saw a big jump in flame totem dps right?

 

[Jax Omen]

Don't bother putting gems in the guild stash unless they have quality or are drop-only (added chaos, empower, enhance, enlighten, portal, detonate mines) - non-quality gems can be bought from vendors for trivial costs.
