GGG should just get rid of Elder/Shaper. It doesn't make any sense in the current story line. Plus, I'm tired of doing it.

Regret orbs. You gain a bunch during leveling. You can buy them. Not too expensive, but enough that it adds up if you're redoing an entire character. This new league coming up they'll be expensive if the drop rate remains the same.Did they ever add respecs? I usually theorycraft games but it's a no go if I have to replace an entire character each time...
Thanks . So useful for tweaks at least then.Regret orbs. You gain a bunch during leveling. You can buy them. Not too expensive, but enough that it adds up if you're redoing an entire character. This new league coming up they'll be expensive if the drop rate remains the same.
For me, I've always felt they "gated" player advancement in general by making crafting so arbitrary. For someone who plays SSF 99.999% of the time, it's far more difficult to get to the real end-game since I can't simply go to POE.trade and buy a needed jewel/item to complete my build.
I rolled a Frost Shot Dualist as my starter and was going to use the stuff I found with that build to make a warrior-type build around an 585 pDPS +185 eDPS Abyssal Axe I SSFound but after using 600+ Jeweler's orbs it's still a 1S...1S. I hit 5S 2 times in the process...
Putting recipies behind maps really ticks me off. Some of the ones I need most are from maps/areas there's no way I'm ever going to see. Recipies located in Pale Council? seriously?! I've only been there 6 times on standard and I've been playing since BETA (minus the last 3 years I took off)
I did manage to get my dualist to 88 relatively quickly but I need a couple items to really complete that build and I don't see me getting them (6L hyri's Ire and Watcher's Eye with the cold damage) anytime soon. There's only so far you can go without the specialized gear some builds require...

If using fusings or jewelers, make sure the item is maxed out quality as that benefits the chance to 6 socket or 6 link.
Make sure you are unveiling, veiled weapons to unlock recipes. Most of them are unlocked that way, maps tend to have the higher tiers which aren't necessary until higher end content. Also delve contains some recipes as well.
You didn't specify what ascendancy class you were as you just said duelist, so make sure you are doing labs to do that quest if you weren't aware. The options for the duelist are Champion, Gladiator, and Slayer. If it been 3 years since you last played this quest might not have been there, and you didn't specify further which one.
You can do the prophecies needed for the Pale Court, just keep spamming them and look for the ones needed. The recipe it unlocks (crafted items can have 3 crafted modifers) is very powerful costing I think 2 exalted orbs to craft and is only needed if doing high end crafting.
The last trial for eternal has been "elusive", to say the least. When I last played (on standard) the trials were still relatively new...and it took 478 map runs before the last Trial appeared on my SSF character. Yes. It took Four Hundred and Seventy-Eight maps before the last Trial appeared...Needless to say I was pretty pissed it took that long. SSF should not EVER require (nearly) 500 map runs for 1 specific trial to appear. I think I made a post about that 60 or so pages ago in the thread...not sure...
Surprisingly, the currency hasn't really been an issue during this league...I got 2Ex and like 100 chaos in my first week of playing in the Azurite mines but I'm seeing diminishing returns lately...maybe they're slowing things down since the league is ending soon?
They don't adjust currency drop rates like that.
Either they have changed the overall drop rate since I last played or the currency drops are just insane this league. I've never started a league 1 month before it ended, and ended up with this much loot. Ever.
I got a Tabula, 2 facebreakers, a BoR, two Bino's, Kingsguard, and an Abyssus Sunday...not to mention several other uniques Friday/Saturday. Oh...and 2 more Ex, 3 Divines, 10 Blesseds, and 4-5 Regals. That's nuts for 2 days for my play SSSF style. (Sloooowwww Solo Self Found)
Nice, but you weren't around for Legion, were you? Loot pinata? More like loot diarrhea. Exalts flowed like mad..
Few things.(sigh) No play tonight. No intarwebs.... Fuckin Spectrum.....
Is there a guild? I usually play solo, but am interested in coop.
Have an Xbox One or PlayStation 4? The console ports are really good. Better than Diablo 3, in my opinion. Unfortunately there is no cross-play or cross-save.Nice. I'll be missing the new league launch. Had to order a new laptop which won't be here for a day or two more, so.. Meh.. Tuesday it is, then. Looking forward to jumping back in.

Fair enough. I understand the time commitment, but if you're starting a new league and want a taste of the changes. Both console versions also run at a solid 60 FPS in all versions.Uuh, I've got more than a few hours in on pc.. Enough to know not to touch the consoles and the abysmal performance. Good looking out though. Will be on in a few days, regardless.
