... Snail Time ...

Snuck in a few min today...60% and got some sweet map drops. :)

Turnip - hang in there man! I started to feel that when I hit 95...getting a bit tired of running same old maps. Zana definitely helps.

I have a few other characters that are decent, but not enough gear/gems to go around so I was always swapping all kinds of stuff when I'd bring one in. I finally got my Lv 90 Occultist boss killer ready but giving her more DPS and retaining her 15,500 ES with 2350 regen...the perfect char to fight nasty bosses real quick...and no equipment needs to be swapped. Flammability curse, fire penetration flame totem (she's an Incinerator)...she does the job quite well now...and dies way less than my Ascendant.

But...I think once I hit 96 I may take a little break for a while...do a few Atziri runs or put my MF gear on my Chieftain and do some currency grinding...I did that for weeks until I decided to start leveling again. It would also be great if I could build up a huge stash of good maps...red maps really make leveling a lot faster...but they are so few and far between. I have plenty of T8s and T9s now...but what I really need are 10, 11 and above.

However, since exp penalty from 96 to 97 is the same as the 95 to 96 I'm doing now...it is just a matter of sloughing through it all again...;)

Just played for a few...64%...had a few pints after work...not the best time to be playing POE...had a close call but otherwise doing fine...hope to hit 70% tonight. :D

69%...too tired to hit 70%...getting closer...map supply down a bit, but overall doing great. Next level is on the horizon...:)

Good going Sas.

Getting a bit of momentum.
Getting into 96.
Only 26%
But it's a start.
Running a lot of chateaus as I do at the beginning of lvl.
They are the cheapest of the good T10s and get them for 3c so I think they pay for themselves.
Bearers - the guys that leave the bombs are my only worry atm.
How the hell to HC players deal with them.
The only way I know they are dropping is if my screen slows for a moment.

Bearers give you a huge reaction time window and have a visual cue. I don't even know how it's possible to die to them.

Rares with the nemesis mod volatile blood are problematic, they explode immediately, can deal a ton of damage and your only chance is to read the mod before you kill them.

ZiggyD volatile blood rip

85%...getting a little tired...but want to run a few more maps. Would love to hit 90%...

Found so many maps tonight...Rngesus was looking out for me...including 7 maps on one Chateau..., a T12, T11, T10 and 4 Arid Lakes...amazing! All gone except the last two Arid Lakes, but then found 8 more good ones to replace them.

Ugh...I better stop for the evening before I get careless...we all know what that means. Already had a very close call tonight...good luck all...I should hit 96 tomorrow barring no RIPs. :D

Dreaming of Gorges and Plateaus...lol. :D

Snuck in a few min this morning...91% to 96...love seeing that almost full XP bar but I'm starting to get nervous about RIPs. Stopping my rapid Strongbox opening was a great idea.

Made a few tweaks to my jewels so my max crit changes with full power chance went from 89.25 to 92.2...also increased the range of my Spec Throw and increased DPS a bit, which is nice. Wasted a few regrets trying some tree adjustment which was foolhardy...but hey, that's what they are for.

9% to go...the countdown begins! I wont be able to play more until this evening...96...you and I have a date tonight, baby...and you better not order the lobster! :D

P.S. Congrats Deadpeng!

Deadpeng - You're flying dude - thats a lot of fast xp

SasoriOtoko - gl on your final advance on the enemy - go slow play s*** easy maps with no dps mods, and GL with it.

Bars - I'd love to know the visual cue, you say bearers have because I can't see it. The only visual cue I have is
a Small frame freeze, then a a nanosecond before I get the hell out.
The other day, I was on 0% after leveling, and was caught between two 2-headed dogs on springs. Bearers died around me and boom - RIP.
Imo, its very easy to die to them. If there is a visual cue I'd love to know it pls :)

Saranghaeyo_ - 92/3 is a good start - hope to see you up there soon!


Me:

96 29%

Getting through the chateaus. Bearers still freak me a bit, but I think I'm only nervous bout them
cause I ripped twice to them the last level.
Almost miscliscked on a rare strongbox, which would prolly ripped me.
My dps is 40k now+38% poison and a lot of DOT passive nodes.
So I'm clearing plats fast.
Gotta love the chateau - an underrated t10.

Settling in at 29%

Sas - that map drop in chateau is EPIC - never seen such a good set of drops of maps. Me max 3 in one map I think. But that was amazing.
