Unveiled this, don't know if it's any good but I put it in the guild stash,

Thanks - might steal it. I gotta start working on getting my gear in line
Picked up 5L Fleshcrafter last night. Amazing the boost that thing gives.

Still plowing through - just hitting yellow maps but have lots of gaps in whites still.
Sometimes those sentinels boost mobs and my minions just get CRUSHED. Nothing is worse than having to revive 3 of the right specters.

Setup the Red Stalker sentinel right as soon as you start the map.

I think it has a timer on it too. If you look on the border, there's a blue line that runs down in addition to the counter for number of mobs.

 

[JTsyo]

revive 3 of the right specters.

Which ones do you go for? I try to get ranged guys since I don't currently have the mages.
Another question which offering do you use. I'm currently using blood but I'm also leveling bone since that's what the build calls for.

Carnage chieftains are the go to. They give frenzy charges to your minions. Should be in the PoB. Give them AoE support and minion life and I toss in blind support just to help out a little bit

For those in the guild: I moved stuff to different tabs so take a loo if there's anything useful.

 

[Homerboy]

how has everyone filled out their Atlas tree?
I pretty set mine for Kirac and map drops, but I still seem to be having issues keeping the maps flowing. It's not horrible, but I have hit a dead-end here and there. I miss Ambush and plentiful strongboxes.
I just spent my savings on a 1.6E wand only to realize that I don't yet have the Intelligence requirements met D'oh!!!

I picked up a pair of infernal ribbons from the Solaris Temple and it' like walking around with artillery. They have good range and some splash.
Still not at maps so I haven't looked at the new Atlas tree.

The other popular favorite is syndicate operatives, but I admit I have never tried them out.
I keep meaning to give them a shot, but I never think about it while I'm playing.

 

[Homerboy]

Finally plugged in my right wand and the right cluster jewel and things are a breeze now. Drops are getting better too - I'm sitting on 2E+ and a lot of other random currency worth selling.

I'm still trying to figure out the best course of action on the Atlas. I REALLY miss Ambush as a map mod - I loved Strongboxes and they always gave me good drops. I guess I could just start buying up Ambush scarabs too...

First thing I do is the same thing you've already done which is push Kirac and +1 tier of map drops. You'll still stall out some times but just buy a couple maps you're missing and you'll get going again.

For the new content, decide on what you like and don't like and then block them. If you block roughly 6 of them that leaves 4 you can fully invest in and you'll always get at least 1 or more of those mechanics every map. Especially if you take Stream of Consciousness. Those 4 fully invested ones will give you very good results. By the time you get Eater or Searing mobs in T14 plus you'll be getting lots of Orbs of Unmaking and then you can just switch things up when you get bored.

Yeah I pretty much just carved my way up to the SB node for now. I will eventually add Meta and/or Harbinger too
It sure is nice when the random map modifier for 24-36 SBs (I forget what it's called) pops up.
Should I be taking that Stream of Consciousness node now? And then if so, are frags entirely useless to add in when launching a map?

Definitely. I'm still running it now because I find putting all the fragments/scarabs together for each map annoying. Also keep in mind that it deactivates all fragments including divine vessels so turn it off when you need to run those.

Yeah - that's the one. That's a fun one.

I will have to add it as my next node then. I too hate having to gather up fragments and everything to run a "juiced map"
So basically once that's allocated, can sell off fragments and scarabs all I want, hey?

Yeah - divine vessels... I gotta get mine arranged properly too.

 

[JTsyo]

Just got to maps. I see you have to spend Atlas points to screen out the older leagues. Which one have you guys cancelled? Blight and Delve are the only ones I really enjoy.

My first time playing with this new atlas, I haven't cancelled anything yet, been putting all my atlas points (not much mapping done yet so not a lot of points... didn't play over the long weekend here in Canada) into boosting kirac.

I definitely blocked out Harvest.
I feel that assuming I play the league a while, I will rotated.
Always love Ambush and Metamorph (though I WAY too often forget to do the Metamorph at the end of the map)


I'm finding these juiced mobs via Sentinels can REALLY pack a punch.

 

[JTsyo]

Hey I had the Skullhead unique drop, I put it in the guild stash.

Uniques generally aren't that great

Yea, the one I'm using currently was in the Guild stash and give +2 to minion gems. What I need to find next is a 5 or 6L body to replace the TR.

I'm working towards my 6L Fleshcrafter.
Once I get it you can have this 5L - or, if you have have money, 5L can be had for 30C or less

5L Fleshcrafter in the stash for you

 

[JTsyo]

Thanks.
All that energy shield will help in staying alive. Is there a way to check what my minion chaos res is? I assume they don't have the -60 from the acts.

I didn't think RF would be remotely popular this league but look like it's the most common build this league, if I had known, would have gone with a different build. As it is now, I'm loving my build but really having a hard time getting the items I want without grinding for multiple days. This just might be the last league for me, I like the game but I'm not willing to grind this much to get the gear I want. Maybe I just picked the wrong build this league but I think I'm too casual for this game now.

Are you talking about grinding to get the currency to buy the item(s)? I don't think I've ever used a drop that I've gotten myself (except early game of course). I let the community find/craft the junk and I just pay for it.

I will say though that for whatever reason, I'm having issues making decent currency this league and/or everything seems pricier than normal. On top of that, I am dying A TON - so many one hits it's painful. Though I will attribute some of those to to stupid sentinel buffed monsters - I have to temper when I use it better and not. Some of those buffed monsters are a joke. I've run into at least 6 thus far that were just unbeatable with my build - elemental resists must have ben like 101% because their health did NOT budge.

The game spits out currency but you have to be at end game. Every 28 maps you gets you 1ex with the invitations. The alters spit out Eldritch currency that go for 1c to 3c each for the tiers. They also spit out low tier currency so you don't ever run out. The Simulacrum was around 50c for one. Lvl 83 Expedition logbooks are 20c for the two lesser, 50c for Black and 80c for Knights. Along with the refresh currency for all of them worth 1c to 9c each. Harvest can net you tons of currency just by rolling clusters you found on the ground. If you wanted to sell on TFT then Betrayal and Harvest can make you lots of currency. Ritual spits out tons of normal currency and sometimes very nice items. You can make pretty decent passive currency by selling essences in bulk. You can bulk sell your scarabs that drop all over the place on TFT.

Really, you just have to pick 3 or 4 league mechanics you like and fully invest in them on the tree. You will get at least one of them every map and you make money.

Finish your last lab so Bone Offering works on you. Unlink Determination from Generosity and swap out Steel Skin for Molten Shell. You'll barely die now.
