My best moment in PoE!

My first ever onslaught character, and the first real hardcore character, MortalMorty managed to find himself in front of the gates of hell, or more specifically, the Ancient pyramid in merciless.
I don't think I need to say how scared I was about the prospect of attempting to solo Vaal oversoul with a split shot duelist using Fairgraves' Tricorne for lightning resistance. Much to the dismay of some of the more "hardcore" players and their views on how I should be able to solo every boss or I'm not ready for the end game, I had joined a group to kill Vaal. I admit, the concept of me being pounded into a red liquid substance Vaal would have to scrape off his smasher was a strong "YES!" to me joining a group.
The group started out with the strength of two in the pools and streams, no one willing to join our cause through the waterfall cave, but as soon as we reached the actual pyramid, the group filled with such haste you could practically smell the stench of a freeloader in heat. Still, the more people there were, the less the monsters actually focused me, which in turn lessened the chance of me meeting my liquidy doom.
Problems began not long after the group entered the second floor, where one of the marauders yoloed into a room full of monsters who handed his ass to him in less than a second, marking the first RIP of the group. The rest of us continued our journey into the maw of death, while also receiving one more to the ranks, in the form of an overly-eager witch with a clear death wish, but her bark was not worse than her bite, as she actually did more dps alone than the rest of us combined.
After enduring what seemed to be an eternity in the depths of the pyramid, we eventually reached the top and entered the kill room.

Took us over ten minutes to set up our portals and change gear to accommodate for the killing prowess of the construct, and once we were ready and waiting in what we thought were the best positions for each of us, I walked to the pedestal at the center of the room and asked for confirmation from the rest of the group. MortalMorty then took the Apex, and it was no surprise that the item which was built from parts taken from the dying grasps of three individuals, would summon nothing but death in it's wake. Placing the apex onto it's proper position, the intricate machinery inside the pyramid began their complex rattle of gears to summon what we all knew would surely result in the death of some of us.
We thought we were as ready as we could have been, but what followed the sudden eruption of Death, tubes, evil spirits and of course, the Smasher, was total chaos.
Everybody ran around frantically, trying to avoid being anywhere near the construct, while simultaneously trying to do as much damage to it as possible.

The first few moments seemed hopeful, as no one was even damaged at all by the constantly spinning death machine spouting it's message of pain through the nozzles of it's hoses. However, our frantic movements didn't really allow us to actually hit the thing with much, so our efforts barely showed signs of injuring the construct, still, we were hurting it while it wasn't hurting us, which is always a good thing. This glimmer of hope in this dark forsaken room lulled us into a sense of eventual triumph, but like the shadow next to MortalMorty got smushed into a pool of screams and gore by a piece of ceiling landing softly on his fragile body, the sense of triumph expediently vanished from the group.
Just five of us left, with less than tenth of the work done, our efforts had to be aimed more towards damaging than running around, our dance of eventual demise turned into a more controlled "Please don't squish me, have a fireball to the face" - type of combat maneuvers.
We seemed to be doing well, and I experienced only once the power of falling bricks to the head, bringing MortalMorty down to a sliver of health forcing me to pop all my instant potions I had, to this day being at 5 hp (I swear) from 2700 was the closest to dying MortalMorty had ever been.
This continued for minutes, people running to the portals to recharge their potions and back to the construct to empty them, until one of us got too careless and was made into a fine paste by the smasher, upping the total death count to three.
MortalMorty saw glimpses of the light at the end of the tunnel for two more times, by bricks enhanced by a mysterious force propelling them downwards, but the Vaal construct had been brought down to a fraction of it's original health in the meantime.
Our witch with a thing or two too many to say, had been our shining light in the fight, as she had not left even once to recharge her potions, and single-handedly doing most of the work alone, was tearing the vaal construct a new one. At least, until Vaal had enough and spewed searing hot plasma twice into her face, ending her story then and there.
Her spirit lingered for a minute before dissipating into the great beyond known as standard league.
With vaal on the very edge of dying, the last three of us brought it down. Moments before dying it yet again with bricks almost sent MortalMorty to the cesspool otherwise called standard league.
As the construct died, white and blue emerged from it's abyssal insides, but even that could not hollow the sense of victory, and when the last three of us tasted the welcoming light of Sarn, we knew the worst was finally over.

TL;DR
Went to kill vaal, four people died, I went down to less than 1% hp many times, got to sarn.

The end.

6link #1 onslaught

My best moment was right to the beginning of onslaught. I remember being at Vaal Ruins with zero quantity and rarity. There was this fat and meaty rare Vaal Fallen. Took me some time to kill him and then he just dropped two uniques right away lol. It was the new Victario's Acuity and a Le Heup Of All. I showed my brother my screen, he freaked out, I freaked out and we both passed out. No, just kidding, but it was my best luck so far.

Hardcore Lioneye.

My best moment was the moment I first beat Piety on Merciless, boy I was happy!
Been playing since closed beta and never came close to Piety untill I decided to make a Freezing Pulse Shadow. Currently level 75 and still having alot of fun. I made so many different builds I can't even count them. Always got around level 50-60 and started a new one.
Then I realized I had to push through and just go for it.
Took alot of time farming my gear but eventually I did it and it was an awesome feeling!

Self-found btw, never traded a single item.
Tried to use the trading system but never liked it.
All of my stuff self found, feels great.
Cheers.

Multistrike gem (Onslaught)


Anyways, here is my story:

So I was in Onslaught Normal with my first ever POE toon Marauder (Groundslammer) and I was around lvl 40 when running around in Lunaris Temple lvl 2. I was well over the level of the area (as intended) so I was confident that nothing could hurt me and else I still have enough hp to afford some hits. So I was happily jumping around with my Leap Slam and trying to clear the area for my archievement.

After jumping around for some time and almost cleared the whole area (less then 10 monsters remaining), I entered a room with some of those corpse explosion wizards (Morality Experimenter?) As usual, I just jumped in on 3 of them and just when I was pressing my groundslam skill I got pulled by a (at that moment) unknown mob. The following seconds were the most scary moments of my Onslaught adventure up until then.

The unknown big orange slaughter (I was so scared and surpised by this guy that I didn't even look at his name) was hitting me only 2 times and my health pool was reduced to less then 10%. At that moment I was hitting the pot keys like a mad man and clicked my cursor to run away from him. I was so glad to see my toon running away from him and I have already started to think which strategy I need, to go against this uber thread which is Kole.

However, my moment of joy was short-lived because I was pulled back and my HP was again less then 10%. Since I was slamming my pots in the earlier session it appears that all my HP pots were used and they are all empty. For a miraculeus reason this big bad orange slaughter did not hit me again and it gave me a chance to run away while I was under the affect of a quicksilver flask. I kept on running and running (Run Forrest Run) till I was couple of screens from that chamber.

With the adreline still rushing in my body and mind, I had a cold shiver ran down my spine. Man, I was so happy that I have survived that ordeal!

Edit: Spelling and add IGN

"ONS - 6l ES chest"

Story - This story is from my favorite cutthroat race and really has quite the ups/downs.

This was maybe 2 months ago. It was a 1 hour CT, normal mods race. I had managed to pull together a solid group of 5 for the race and we finished up the strategy a few minutes before. We had 1 of every class despite the meta of 3+ GLACIAL Hammer Templars.

So the race starts, we're doing awesome. We're the first group in Lower Submerged, Upper Submerged & Ledge. We kill the first few packs in Ledge and we get the 2 second lag spike notifying us that 6 people just joined our instance with the intention of merciless killing us. I don't know who said it on teamspeak but all of us immediately just took off towards Rocky Climb.

We make it into Rocky Climb, surround the instance but no one follows. We clear 80% of the Rocky Climb and all of a sudden see 6 more dots appear coming from the Ledge direction. Again, keeping with our chicken-esque mindset, we run into Lower Prison.

I am the Freezing Pulse Shadow so when we zone into Lower Prison, I set up shop just past the doorway facing the instance entrance along with our witch and ranger. Unlike the previous zone-in, the 6 enemies ACTUALLY follow us into Lower Prison. Who is it? Kripparian, Rhox, Sleepless and 3 others from his team. They immediately kill our duelist who was standing beside the entrance then they rush towards our ranged group. Well...1 lucky freezing pulse and they're all frozen and dead...except their shadow, Sleepless.

Our group continues with having only lost 1 person. We eventually make it to Chamber of Sins and then slowly lose people 1 by 1 to the subsequent fights. I find myself all alone so I head to Ledge for some pvp. I am the #1 Shadow with 2 minutes left when Demigod's Triumph were being awarded. Who do I see in Ledge? Sleepless! The #2 shadow who got away earlier! PERFECT! I rush into his instance and attempt to kill him. We go back & forth, both of us almost dying multiple times until uh oh...that familiar lag spike. RHOX rerolled and is now a level 10ish templar. He rushes me and together with Sleepless...my screen is met with "Ressurect" and "30 Seconds Remaining" at the same time.

Despite losing the Demi, it was one of my favorite times in this game. The intensity at each PVP battle rivals my old PK days in UO.

"Hardcore, Lioneye's Glare"

Best moment has easily been the moment in my early Hardcore playing with few friends, one of who was running a summoner. Once we reached the Broken Bridge and started clearing, the summoner fella just died. After few minutes of laughing, we reached the conclusion that the explosive arrow shooting enemies had "boobytrapped" one of his zombies, who then proceeded to run next to the summoner himself and exploded. Needless to say we all rolled new characters after that.

"Low maps (Onslaught)"

Been progressing through Merciless, trying to get back on my feet after ripping at 79. Vaal Oversoul was next in line.

Plan was to never go into melee range and cheese him, Dominating Blowing his minions. I've done this before, however this time looks like Vaal got really good with his laser. He was destroying my Constructs pretty accurately. Fight took really long, bodies were piling up and my framerate kept gradually decreasing. Think Coward's Trial.

Vaal's at 10%, it's getting hard to navigate, pre-potting granites, not to mention keeping up the stream of my Constructs. Got hit hard by the falling rocks, reep was in the air. I bailed out and backtracked from Waterfall Cave to Ancient Pyramid, grabbed a pack of mage skeletons along the way. Luckilly they were enough to finish the job.

This guy is still alive, your map pack will help me progress further.
Here's the s/s before entering Sarn:

Well, I'll throw my hat in for the

6L#1 (Onslaught)

This is actually a story about how I finally got started playing Path of Exile. You see, before that I had been really into Diablo 2. Always legit, no forum gold or whatnot, which meant that high end runewords were beyond my means -- it's at least as hard to get the runes for something like Enigma legitimately as it is to get a Kaom's.

Anyway, I was playing a lightning sorceress. Since all mobs in Hell difficulty have two immunities (not resists -- immunities), it made for very tough levelling. The cure to this is a runeword for your mercenary called Infinity, which breaks enemy immunities and is roughly the equivalent of an incredibly high level Elemental Weakness. This was the only way to break enemy immunities so it was highly coveted, but also insanely expensive, needing two very high runes and two moderately high runes. I guess in Path of Exile terms it would cost a dozen+ exalt -- which, for a random player in hardcore is tough to get. And a couple notes about runewords: onces runes are socketed into an item, you can't shuffle them around or remove them without destroying them, and if the item isn't socketed perfectly it's basically garbage.

So I had a plan of running Mephisto, the act 2 boss, over and over and over again to get items I could sell for lowish runes, and sell bundles of those for higher runes, and so on. I probably spent a good 50+ hours running the boss over and over again, slowly increasing my currency, until I had enough. I quickly bought the runes I needed, and a good weapon to socket them in.

Now, since as I mentioned runeword recipes are exact and can't be fixed if a mistake is made, I made it a habit to always triple check recipes on the official website. But for Infinity, there was no need -- I had started at the item on its wiki page so often (while drooling, lost in my fantasy world where I was blasting all critters without difficulty) that I had it memorized. I even had a nickname for it, "bumbi" -- a mnemonic from the first letters of the required runes Ber-Mal-Ber-Ist; BMBI, bumbi.

So confident in my perfect recall of the item, I placed my runes in the polearm. Bumbi. Ber-Um-Ber-Ist, bumbi.
Careful readers of the last few sentences will note that the bumbi I placed is not the same as the bumbi required.

I couldn't understand at first why the Giant Thresher did not turn into Infinity. I thought maybe it was a bug in the game so I logged off and back in. Then I double checked the recipe and let out a moan of such intensity and despair that my cat thought I was dying. I could tell she was worried because she actually paused in licking her paw for upwards of 3 seconds.

I gave away all my gear in a public game and logged off. But there's a coda: a week or two later, my D2 addiction wore down my resolve and I logged on, determined to actually make Infinity even if I had to rmt it. I decided to get the weapon first so I wouldn't have to wait around after I got the runes, and asked in global chat if anyone had a 4 socket high level polearm. Someone messaged me and I met them in a game. They showed me a Giant Thresher, with four runes in it -- Ber-Um-Ber-Ist. My runeword fail had been passed around in the hc community as a bit of a joke. I stared at it and logged off. I figured that was a sign that enough was enough, time for a new game.

Been playing PoE exclusively since then :)
