Question about Temple

How in the world do you have 10-20 secs to spare? My timed runs are only 15 secs and that most of the time runs out right with one kill of the architect. I have never had any more time to do anything else. and I have run 4 of the full 6 portal temples with never anything in them but the same old drops as the rest of the contect.

I have only come across one stone key thing in this entire time. That time I had just picked it up when the time ran out.

How are you getting so much time?

Killing monsters gets you extra time. It's fractions of a second per monster, but when you kill a whole pack it adds up. It's kinda hard in earlier acts since not that many mobs spawn there in the first place, but it gets better later on. I think the most time I've ever had left after full clearing the incursion was 35 seconds or so. (I usually end in the 10s though, that is not a realistic goal to aim for every time. At least not with my build.)

Every incursion is guaranteed to drop at least one key if you kill every mob in it. I've had it drop from literally the last mob two or three times, so if you're not thorough you might have missed it.

And in the previous quote you replied to when the guy said us poor old schmucks he did not literally mean poor as in wealth but poor as in playing ability.

To be frank, the skill ceiling in PoE is not that high compared to many other games. It's not like it's a fighting game where you need to have frame-perfect reactions or an RTS where you have to manage fifteen different things at once. There are plenty of builds that can do just fine if you can manage to right-click roughly in the direction of the enemy pack.

Yes, not everybody has the mechanical knowledge and game experience to be able to come up with a tier 1 build from scratch; but that's why we have build help forums. If you don't do well in PoE, it's not because of who you are, but what you do.
