Hi Guys,
first i want to thank you Enki and the whole community, for this great Guide! but now im lvl 78, new to this game(never played on PC) and don`t know what to do. Struggling on T4 Maps, cant complete the Labyrinth and no currency :-( What am i doing wrong? I really need your help guys. wwhat should i do first? | |
" Well just use focus skill " That was the cheapest opal rings i can buy and cap resistances. Also i was thinking about Mark of the shaper + elder ring but i don't know how i will get resistances. | |
" My friend, it's wrong ideology. Don't spend cash on crappy items "but good base" (like crappy rings, but they are Opal Rings). Also, you spend HUGE amoung of cash on daggers, while you didn't picked the top mods for them. (for example, there is mod with more %spell dmg + extra chaos, your cast speed mod is also not the highest one). Maybe you didn't know it, but you are not able to replace mods with "multimod" in the same way as with regular "single mod" items :( You use Focuse? Well, the only spot where i could put this skill on quick bar, would be instead of my golem. It's much better to re-summon golem if it will die during boss fight, than to use focuse. You spent a lot of cash, but more accurate would be - you wasted a lot of cash. Take a look on my gear, i've just compared our characters. I have more life, same ES, my res are all capped + some additional overcap. Our dmg is without compare on shaper - you would do 406k fully buffed, versus mine 1,2mln dps. You made a lot of bad investments, as budget for our builds is pretty simillar. Try to afford as close to Enki's example items as possible, but don't waste currecy for something which gives you almost nothing. Last edited by Zeratul_PL on Apr 10, 2019, 1:57:07 PM

Spoiler
Farming/grinding, farming/grinding, farming/grinding and then farm/grind some more of these T1-4 maps - some delving in between - over and over and over again for days upon days, maybe even weeks, until you farmed/grinded enough to finally be able to buy better stuff or craft it so you can progress. Or you get lucky somehow along the way.
It's basically all RNG and luck. That's the only real shortcut. You're not necessarily doing anything wrong (can't tell; I have only 2k hours and I'm still a bloody noob myself + I can't see your characters). Maybe you're just unlucky. Usually every league it happens 1-2 times that I reach a point like that. That nasty barrier. The only times were I didn't encounter this situation was when I was lucky and RNGesus kissed me on my forehead... Last league, on the first few maps I ran, I had an Inpulsa and 2 exalts drop. That pushed me so hard I could immediately proceed into red tier maps without any issues. That's basically what you have to hope for. Otherwise, the only way to overcome it, is by sheer brute forcing and grinding it out. It's mind-numbingly dull and boring, because you're not really progressing and there's literally 0 sense of gratification, but you have to gnash your teeth and bite your way through it. At some point you'll make it. Always do your chaos vendor recipe, hunt for currency nodes in delve, level skill gems that you can sell etc. - generally trading helps a lot - and then partially upgrade your gear with the currency you make, step by step. And always pray to RNGesus and cross your fingers. I understand if that's not something someone wants to do. It's usually also the very sole reason why I burn out and quit. Leagues being fairly short puts even more pressure on you, if you're hunting challenges. In Standard it's not such a big deal. Just take a break then, refill your enthusiasm and come back once you can stomach it again. It's the biggest gripe I have with this game, but that's PoE.

" Zeratul my fellow countryman, check wiki before u roast somebody so u dont look like a bufoon when u do it ;) (no offence bro) -> Focus <-
In case u can't enter wiki
U get focus button (skill) for free when u got a "focus mod" item equipped ;)

" Maybe you should read more careful, before you roast somebody, so you don't look like a buffoon... (no offence) He's talking about the quick bar. You see where it prominently says "quick bar" in that short sentence? That's where he is talking about the quick bar. Yes, you get the skill from an item. That wasn't his issue. But do you get an additional slot in your quick bar so you don't have to swap something out? I wouldn't know, since I've never used it, but I have a hard time believing that you do.

There is nothing really wrong with focus mods over their normal counterparts. Its just that you have to weigh the options of either having the focused stat at 100% uptime all the time OR having it available for a few seconds but with a lot more power.

What is the best way to level at 90+? I don't know how many times now I'll get halfway to 92 and then end up dying a few times setting me back so much xp. It is starting to get very frustrating.
