Unless Hank is forced to reroll due to his build being unable to kill the Shaper, he'll beat me to 40/40. He has one Warband boss to kill, Shaper, and that's it.

I still have the majority of the end-game grinds to finish. I'd guess I'm at least three days away. Takes me about 10 minutes to do Uber lab if I go for the Argus kill for an extra treasure key, and I have 58 runs to do. That's about 10 hours work right there, plus about 5 mins per Core/Dark forest twinned (about 1.5 hours). Call it 12 hours of grinding.

I may actually just buy a Shaper kill to take the pressure off me and then do it on my own later, not worrying if it takes several attempts to finally kill Shaper.

Tomorrow I'm going to do my best to finish off Warbands - maybe someone will sell it in 820 trade.

I still need Vessider.

I was figuring to buy Beacon/OgR maps to finish Warbands up first, then go for the grinds.

I tend to get Kalria a lot, I can just tag you in.

I played long time wow as a maintank and was with my guild 3 guild on server. BUT i lost my life (3 year s online time and 60 to 80 hours per week with working at day and gaming at night and sleep is not necessary) and nearly my wife.
so i look to a game i can do myself. And poe is it. it dosent care if i play 40 hours per week or only 2. and that is the reason i only play solo.
AND i dont like noob groups. So IF i play in group i must know the members and then its a problem to organice my play time.
But what is different from this game is. The comunity is so helpfool and like in this thread happy and mostly friendly. That is why i like this game and its comunity so much.

AND the last part. In this game are things like this worminator (how the hell managed he his
flasks) possible. they will be nerfed (how he shows in his video) BUT he found a way to go on. Thats a great show. I never play such a build because i dont like to make a build and then bummm they make it dead . But to look what kind of poe breaking builds are possible its verry funny to see.
AND again. Thanks crono and serlet for all the answers and hank for the answers AND the funny build he show me.

If ever you're at a point where you feel you need to choose between your wife and family, and gaming, you know what the right decision is :-)

And yes, this too is why I like POE more than WOW. In POE you can do things on your own if necessary - and you can stop playing or reduce your playing time as real life demands without impacting anyone else other than you.

In WOW, there is so much pressure to perform/keep-playing for the group. It's too easy to mix up gaming priorities with real-life priorities when playing WOW.
====
Less important...

Moreover, GGG's staff is much more approachable than WOWs.

WOW had some massively aloof sentiment in it's customer service department - they seemed to encourage an elitist, aggressive, bullying behavior on their forums and in game.

I really liked WOW - but I wanted to get the best gear and advance to the highest content - but this required huge group interaction.

Every time I was in a capable group - either the leader or group members or both were total assholes.

And every time I was in a group I liked, no one could play decently and we never progressed to my satisfaction.

Eventually I just gave up on that game.

I've liked POE much, much more.

that exactly was the reason why i only played with guild members. And why i was maintank. I could choose what member i take into my group. In wow i was in the highest contend, and we never made the first kill from the new endboss. But we made it in the first 5 %. And that was a goal for me and i hated it. It was so much grind, test and loose. But when we killed him it was the greatest moments in my playtime

Thats the reason why i hate grinding in poe :-) and never will finish 40 when there is a big grind to do.

@serlet
what the hell. 10 min for uber. Thats absolutly amazing. But not with this build ?
And how did you manage to get so much uber keys?
Is the Pale Court doable as this build? I skipped Prophecy and haven't tried yet, I'd switch to my Lab gear (Belly, rare boots and rings with life, 30ms etc.) which has me sitting at 5.4k life and 67% phys reduction with charges up. Don't want to waste items I could turn into currency just to end up being unable to do the content.

If you evade this book what make a huge dmg its no problem. I made it with this build 10 or 12 times without death. 2 times i died because i dont know that this book makes such a dmg.
i have 5 k life and 12 k cloud dmg.
Alright, thanks, should be good with my life and 23k cloud damage, then.

EDIT: Did it deathless, but damn, that book is one hard hitting bastard!


Any cool builds for that bow? Also, sorry for OT posts, last one, I promise.

This has turned me off of so many games, including mmo's that could've been very promising. I feel the moment you are required to group in order to progress, is the moment the game fails.

I stopped playing Warframe precisely because of this.

Eh, ten minutes is a bit slow, I feel. I can do it with this build as well, but I have to swap to survival gear and the boss fights are noticeably slower. I also don't feel that without changing IIR out for another damage gem that it's doable to get extra keys.

Uber keys:

* One from the kill
* One from killing each of the first two phases without taking out the buffs. I.e., leaving all portals/fonts up, not using a charge disruptor, etc. Two keys total from this.
* Argus

Four key run.

Grats on the Reach drop.

I'm using a T-Shot poison build for my alt char, which runs with Reach. I find it pretty good. It's also great for LA, and basically any phys bow build really, because it removes the need for a GMP gem.

Thanks, found a LA/Barrage high mobility build that looks like a lot of fun, now trying to six-link it, 8XX fuses in and no dice.

I also purchased a +1 Arrow Drillneck which I will eventually use on the second char and am currently using on my CA and it's crazy fun, dat dere AoE. Wouldn't have bought it just for CA and it's definitly not needed but if anyone got the spare currency I can only recommend it.

I got a different question: Currently I'm trying to craft vuln on hit gloves as a side project, would your CA build profit from two freed up gem slots in any way? I'm guessing not, 8-10 gem level difference is probably hard to top, we would need Frenzy+GMP anyways and I don't really know what one could link in it instead of vuln and COH.
