How is ssf going for u guys/girls? ^^
" I agree with you about the MoK being very useful in a SSF setting. However, 99% of the players or better will never find one of those on the ground, irregardless of how many days/months/years they play, let alone in a 3 or 4 month league. How many have you found? I know you've logged as much time as anyone in PoE and it would be interesting to know what a person could expect. I still think that having 1,2 or even a half dozen found exalted orbs in a SSF league setting is pretty useless for crafting. |

" To me the big question is WHY would you fully respec an existing character based on drops? If your drops dictate a new build make a new character instead of wasting your currencies. When I play SSF I always start with something that requires no gear (FB totem these days, SRS back in the day when I started playing SSF) and decide further characters based on the drops my league starter gets. | |

Im a hoarder and feel like it might be time to stop picking up all chromatic items...lol
in non-SSF, thats like 100 chaos right there, and I dont see myself offcoloring any chests, but uh...I guess, cant stop wont stop prophecy seems very,very underrated for SSF. farm coins and then you can get shit like 5L prophecy, some very usable uniques, fated uniques, etc. like its the main source of all kinds of items/currency, along with breaches. | |

I think im gonna start new character. Thinking about marauder.
Off course still running on scion from time to time and masters missions. | |
" maraunder is a good choice :P made one myself berserker ftw xd specially with the new boots well new xd "Now all that's left is for you getting on your knees."
if you know thanks me:) i'm dying to find out x'D | |

About the SSF Regrets (lol)
I found in my playthrougs roughly 30 Regret Orbs, I think that is enough to correct some mistakes in the tree or when you want to switch to another build. Recently I burn nearly all of them when I decided what to do with my Raider. I thought Ice SHot would be nice. Then I thought Spectral Throw would be nice. And now I reached my final form: Frost Blades. If you do this with ONE char, then its ok, if you want to do this with serveral chars... you need way more regrets. Obviously. This is one thing I really like with SSF, you need to plan ahead. Or start all over again. btw a great source for Regrets are █▀▀▌ █▌█▀▀▀ █▀▀▌█▄░▌

Got my regalia 5L'd! Big damage increase :)
Currently tearing through maps on this character. Raider is so good for CI attack builds. Keep finding these leaguestones Unique strongbox galore. Ran one yesterday and got another to run today. 21/05/18 - The beginning of the end of PoE

" Chanced a Lapis Amulet last night. Cheered at my desk. So I'm doing much better now. I finished Merc Labs on the first try. Helm enchant was nothing I could use though. I ran it five more times. Died every time. Izaro does something that one shots me. Perhaps its the charge he does? I don't stop Shield Charging though so I'm not sure how it hits me. Gets me so mad though. And with all the different helm enchants, I think I'm just going to say hell with it and leave the one I have on there. Continue doing maps. And the white guys says, I'll have a Coke then.

If you get one shot by izaro in merc lab, chances are you let him buff up in previous phases too much. Several of the phases give izaro insane damage buffs. There is a wiki article on the phases http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Izaro
The best way to prevent izaro from hitting you is circling him and hugging the dude real close, never try to spank and tank unless you have ludicrous dps. Also, dont go for multiple keys in merc lab, it aint worth it. Personally, i have been rather lucky with stuff on my own. Starting to get gear for a nice Gladiator
Spoiler
Hoping for a varunastra, but the axe should come to about 300 dps either way. Need an anvil before even thinking about starting him though. (but i'd rather use BF than some shit skill. Maybe cleave, i do have the treshhold jewel after all) The earthquake slayer is coming along nicely too, i found that there is basically no reason to ever switch out inc aoe and conc effect anymore with the aoe changes, which is kind of stupid. And yes, poison does shittons more DPS than void manipulation does, i tried. Even with no damage over time nodes or much double dipping on the tree whatsoever. Kind of sad, really. Not getting as many drops as i had hoped, but he farms fast and safe, and i'd have made a ton of currency if i didnt have the attention span of a goldfish with builds and go like "oooh, there is a chest that i could use for x build, lets 5 link that shit!" Going to try and do uber lab when i hit 85, flip gems and roll something new with the enchants i throw on helmet(s). |
