Thoughts on oil anointment

I saw that... you certainly CAN use repeated oils. But does it matter if you do? That's the question that hasn't been answered. Could easily be that only the first two oils determine the outcome and the third oil is just there as an added cost.

Not saying that's the case. We don't know yet.

Path of Exile: Oil Massage

With or without happy ending?

That all depends on how much more lag these tower defenses are going to create. Synthesis pushed my Geforce 1060 Amp! (the 6 GB overclocked 1060 version) to the limit and many times the memory fragment mob packs overwhelmed it and crashed framerates to single digits. If the towers do that with the extra clusterfuck of fx then it will definitely be an unhappy ending. Also we will quickly find out on Sept. 6th just how much beta-testing we will be in for (sure hope it's not as bad as Synthesis or Betrayal... those league starts were a huge pain in the ass until many debug patches were rolled out).

As for the oils? Just a way to enchant gear without needing to do lab runs. Plus we can anoint rings and amulets too so that looks promising. I sure hope GGG keeps with lab enchants format so we can anoint an item again to replace an undesired anoint. The only thing needed is to be able to anoint unique items too. But 220 (at least) oil combinations that we are blindly throwing into the Anointer will be another RNG nightmare. Some one will need to quickly create a list of the oil combinations and their results and get it put up in the wiki fast if this part of the league mechanics is to be enjoyed (I hate blind RNG enchanting). And the oils had better stack to 5000 in our currency stash tab. What?... 12 more items to hunt and horde... oh goody-goody... err... we'll soon see how much content gating of the rare oils there will be (sic).

Nah, they said if you use two oils it makes a turret buffing mod, and if you use three it makes a notable.

Yeah, 2 oils. using 2 of the same oil plus another oil is 3 oils. because math.
