RE: Path of Exile: My first Hardcore run!

in #pathofexile6 years ago (edited)

Next time; we can take a selfie together in your new hideout.
Yes, let's do that. I find the whole character thing hilarious tbh.

It sure was fun to play together; even though it was only for a short period of time.

We should do it again when we both have a moment. Run a map together. They seem to follow a format, so it should be easier to stick together. We might even get some of these challenges done together quicker.

Thanks for showing me your cool minions too; especially your spectres. I haven’t played since the last time I spoke to you in game. Though I did find myself a solar guard to check out its skills; but I do miss the large curtains and their laser beams. Pew Pew Pew.

What?! I've not gotten around to finding a solar guard, but they don't shoot?! That would suck. I prefer my curtain flame sentinals to other spectre options because they are ALWAYS working. My current ones are just silly ones I randomly picked because I lost my curtains at some point and wasn't paying attention. I went back to raise them, but could not find them! :(

People insist the solar guards are the best, but I dunno, my curtains were 100% reliable to shoot. Have you notice how hopeless some of the spectres are? They hang back and do NOTHING!

At first I thought I may need to call rspca on you for locking the monkey in a cage; though with locking Einhar …. Technically he locks those animals he captures (with your help) in cages too. Have you seen his dungeons? They are pretty cool enclosures for the captured animals.

I've not paid attention to einhar's home since going there originally. I guess he's less of a priority unless he appears for us to capture his beasts. I wish he would show up more often so I can get the 100 done for the challenge.

It is a little odd starting from the start and realising how squishy you are.
Very much this. And how unresponsive your character is too. I often pressed buttons and nothing happened, and then I realize its because she ran out of mana again. lol I had to consciously remember to NOT die for DoNotDieLinny. Like literally had to mentally chant and track the life pool. The running is so slow. I have Phase run set to 'Q' on my main. So I still actually press Q thinking I'll phase....lol

But at least I'm tougher than my minion for once in this new build. Go with what you are going to enjoy most. As much as I look back fondly of my CrankyOldWoman experience, I don't want a build so reliant on the minions again. It wasn't until I got Spiritual aid that my spell DPS finally got some real kick. It jumped from 2k to over 6k . Cleary, my zombies were miles ahead of me!

But it'll be good to know you're prepping for the big day. Matt said March 8, so book it in your diary. I am expecting you to do very well! And that would mean not joining body piles in Vaal chambers in the mines. XD

As for the goodies not transferring, no lost. You will have to start as SSF anyway, so I consider it all practice. I am going to try to get myself a little more skilled in crafting. It's also still worth considering Occultist for you too, if you're in the mood for something different but want to do witch. I heard it can be made into a tanky witch, so that is an experiment worth trying. If I wasn't going to do witch, I might try Berserker. I have a fondness for Berserkers in fantasy. ;)

oooo good idea; im still at 6 completed challenges too.

The solar guards do shoot; just not constantly like the curtains. The solar guards use various spells. Sometimes it's spells misses because it is a random aoe or by the time it finishes charging its big golden ball to shoot; the mob is already dead. I think they are better because their dps is higher when the spell hits. Whereas the curtains damage per beam is smaller. Will have to experiement and play with the solar guards more. Maybe I might do a combo of one solar guard and one curtain.

Have you notice how hopeless some of the spectres are? They hang back and do NOTHING!

hahahaha yes! They really do just hang at the back. Then later you see them go take a swipe at a mob; only to miss because the mob either moved away or had just died.

March 8; any idea starting time? If at night I wouldn't be able to play much. Ive got a birthday party to go to the following morning on the other side of town. So you better work twice as hard for both of us =D

I am going to try to get myself a little more skilled in crafting.

To get more crafting upgrades; if you unveil items you pick up from the syndicates; you can obtain the upgraded or new crafts.

It's also still worth considering Occultist for you too, if you're in the mood for something different but want to do witch. I heard it can be made into a tanky witch, so that is an experiment worth trying. If I wasn't going to do witch, I might try Berserker. I have a fondness for Berserkers in fantasy. ;)

From what I saw; Occultist is more like a warlock? Dot and Run; the damage over time will kill them as you dot other mobs.

Hummmm I wonder why you have a fondness for Berserkers in fantasy....is it the big muscles? Or the big 2 hand axe they carry? Or maybe it is because he is a hairy tank? lol or maybe because he can be a bit of an airy fairy. hehehe

I just threw together another post for you. I'll certainly get around to answering you about my Berseker fantasies! But definitely the big muscles!! ;)
