The amount of low effort and/or stolen buildguides that gets recommended to me since I started watching the new season content is absolutely insane.

Always the same pseudo dark fantasy garbage picture and a terrible guide to complement it.

EDIT : ZiggyD Confirms this in the comments of the video and this post!

As title statess, potential Act 1 Improvement . Seems like he is blocking the way to the Cavern of Wrath. Huge improvement to this area, as it removes the need to travel to the Ship Gravyard Cave (Might have a new quest there or it is being removed all together)! Good Change!

... but aside from dots and select few skills, this is how the buffs feel to me. Nevertheless, I think the league will be amazing.

Hi! I'm the girl who, like every league, comes to bring you the updated Syndicate cheatsheet ✨.

This league Betrayal includes the following general changes:

• Syndicate Leaders can no longer drop Allflame Embers. The Syndicate Mastermind can now only drop The Allflame Ember of Kulemak. All other Allflame Embers have been moved to the Curse of the Allflame league mechanic.
• The average number of Scarabs dropped from Scarab Chests in Safehouses has been doubled.
• Trapped Stashes in Safehouses now have a time limit of 15 seconds (previously 10).
• Cluster Jewels from Trapped Stashes and Crafting Sprees in Safehouses have a maximum item level of 83.

The reward changes are as follows:

• Vagan in Fortification now offers a trapped stash with Enshrouded Uniques.
• Vagan in Transportation now offers a chest containing Trarthan Scarabs.
• Vorici's Fortification rewards have also been adjusted.
  • At Rank 1, the reward is a bench that reforges the number of Sockets on an item 100 times, using the outcome with the greatest number of Sockets (previously colours of Sockets).
  • At Rank 2, the reward is a bench that reforges the colours of Sockets on an item 25 times, using the outcome with the greatest number of Non-White Socket colours (previously number of Sockets).
  • No changes at rank 3.
• Jorgin in Research now offers regular Currency to craft the Talisman, instead of Tainted Currency. This is due to Talismans no longer being corrupted by default.
• UPDATE: You can no longer obtain Abyss Jewels from Betrayal. I forgot to remove the icons. I'll update them soon along with the new icons for Vagan's rewards.

IMPORTANT:
The cheatsheets I'm sharing here are based on my personal opinion and might not be perfect. So please, don’t be rude. Personally, I'll be focusing on Scarabs at league start. Once I reach red maps, I'll switch to farming Syndicate Medallions and gambling rewards like Cadiro, Ancient Orbs, Divination Cards, etc.

DISCLAIMER:
Ruthless has different rewards, but I don't plan to support that version of the game — mainly because I don’t play it. And if you play SSF, I recommend creating your own version based on what your build needs or the mechanics you enjoy the most.

Nvidia released a hotfix driver for PoE2 this morning that fixes issues with the dx12 shader cache

https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5870

I upgraded, logged into PoE2, and other than what felt like the normal shader rebuilds, could not get the game to hitch and get the dreaded "gearing"

I wondered if whatever fix was made for poe2 translated into poe1 as they are effectively the same engine under the hood and was pleasantly surprised

I went ahead and logged into a character in poe1 and juiced it as much as possible and could not get the dreaded "gearing" issue in dx12.

I do not think we will see a WHQL official release before Friday, so if you want a gearing-free league start, I wanted to reccomend this to everyone else who has been frustrated with the freezing in both games for a long time.

It looks like 50 series card owners finally have an option for a driver that does not have issues in both poe1 and 2

Hi all, with the recent nerfs to lettuce and berries by introducing the Cyclospora keyword to them, I am feeling a little bit lost on how to league start efficiently and not shit myself. I personally also am recovering from a gallbladder removal so anything with a lot of fat can still make me shit myself, a normal amount is fine but the canes combo unique is out of the discussion for me.

Just wondering what everyone else's league start food plan is for 3.29, fatty or not. Interested to see how everyone builds for their own str stat in mind. Stay sane, exiles!

In the recent "voyage deep dive" video this wasn't the case, but if it were we could tell what mods our Voyage board has at a glance.

For example, the "rare monsters drop an additional exalted orb" effect could appear as the tentacles, "100% more currency" could appear as the fish, etc.

Saw this on Insta under a post about icky boyfriend postures 😭. gamer stance

E: Phone quality just now realised it’s PoE2

edit: it appears i was wrong about mercs. The mercskills on item is for merc contracts. guardian does return an array of items, so most definitely refers to a character's AG

It’s going to be amazing for comparing builds once PoB, poeninja, and the mountain of other glorious community tools add support! Thank you GGG and we appreciate you tool-maker community!

• Added a new Voracious Flame Keystone Passive Skill to the north of the Witch's starting location. Voracious Flame grants You can inflict an additional Ignite on each Enemy, Base Ignite Duration is 1 second, 25% less Damage with Ignite, and Cannot deal non-Fire Damage.

First of all lets start by addressing that we don't even know if it works correctly - Emberwake which grants second ignite does not respect the second highest ignite, just "an" ignite.

Old thread, I don't think it was ever stated to be fixed: https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/pooi9c/psa_emberwake_double_ignite_does_not_always_use/

Oki, but what if it works as it should applying two strongest ignites, what are the downsides?
- 25% less damage with ignite
- ignite base duration is 1 second
- can only deal fire damage

On paper it seems like 75% of ignite + 75% of ignite is just 50% more damage, no? Yea, no.

What are the implied additional downsides then?
- You can no longer realistically scale your massive multiplier that was "Ignites you inflict deal damage x% faster"
- Even using a lot of resources to scale ignite duration back it is now much harder (+100% ignite duration before granted you 4 seconds, now it is 1 second)
- You just killed every form of explosions, no Foulborn Berek, Profane Bloom, Unspeakable Gifts, even your Oriath's End now explodes once every three times it previously would
- You can no longer get damage as extra elements/chaos
- If you're Elementalist your Shaper of Flames does nothing if you are not already playing Fire Skill, since all damage can ignite, but ignite is based on the original skill which, if not fire, will deal 0 damage
- Duration of proliferation from Berek's is not refreshed when applied to new enemy so you killed your 'feel good' proliferation. The normal proliferation is just 75% shorter in duration.

Maybe it can be used with Vaal Flameblast to get 2 last ignites on the target if it works correctly (still wont be even remotely close to 50% more dmg). Maaaybe you can do something with Avatar of Fire and Cold to Fire.

But jumping through all the hoops makes it feel like I'm a dolphin.
