here is what I want to do guys. Here is my group cut. I'm not going to use this for a while. I'm gonna try to sustain myself for a while from whatever my shippers get me. So I have nine divs to spend basically and some gumball right from shippers and mappers. They're no longer mapping or shipping. I think I have nothing sent out right now. We'll see how far this gets me. Then we can tap into the unethical insane four Divine per hour group Farm loot that we farmed in the first. Okay, so that's the idea to begin with. Wait, what's up with my projectiles? Oh, reduce projectile speed of the. Okay, oh my God, that's sick. Look at that. I'm faster than my arrows. Holy [ __ ]. Okay, let's. Is it worth doing L mechanic in M flance eat Crimson? It's not. What was the second exploit you talked about? The funny one. Uh, I don't know if it's fixed yet so.

I'll wait. Actually, there was a third one, but it's fixed so I can talk about the third one. So, whenever you send a ship and you took all the rewards but one thing, the window would refresh in a time that it would take the ship to do the journey. So, if you sent out a half-hour ship and you got a Divine and a bunch of other stuff, you take the Divine and almost everything else, and then you wait 35 more minutes, the window would refill. This has been the case from leak start up until this morning, I think, but there is another one that's, I don't know if it's fixed yet. There's another pretty big one, not as big as the 100 TH or th diff per hour, you know, card printing, but it's probably like 10% as impactful as that, so we'll see. Can talk about it when it's fixed. What are loot tiles? So, loot tiles are rewards that are not scaled in any way by quantity or juicing or multiple players or anything like that, so Legion.

sergeants with a little symbol on their head. Exiles with a little symbol blight chest uh simulacrum rewards sanctum rewards most of the things in the game at this point. You know like like an incubator pop a Dela reward. Pop um ritual shopping uh an ultimatum selection most most things. Stuff that isn't just raw ground loot that is is scalable by map Quant or player Quant or any other stuff. Kill p and then loot the thing and then and D res in town go back to the portal and then forget that we actually have to pick up the key from Clarissa. So open the portal again go up to town take the key from Clara and then go back to the portal and open the gates to the source. Wow that's crazy. All right guys let's blak that eye for now can change the world so we can go faster. Tailwind what about Cyclone flicker strike cyclone and flicker strike together. I don't know about that.

Bought someone's secondhand bow, and it was incubating currency. Just finished incubating, and it dropped the Divine. I paid 20 C for the bow. Nice. Is the third thing fixed yet? The Exiles are also fixed. Okay, nice. Okay, guys, that was an Exile exploit also for four days. I think that's the funniest one. Okay, you know how Exiles can be juiced by the map or sorry by the tree and the scarabs. You can make them huge and you can make them have multiple reward tiles. You know they have like those symbols on top of their head. So you use the Titanic scarabs. Two of the Titanic scarabs. You put a bunch of Exiles into your map and then there is an Exile that uses blink arrow. And every time he uses a blink arrow, he copies himself and the copies have reward tiles associated with them. So you would run up to that Exile, die, and it would just fire blink arrows and make a whole bunch of clones with reward tiles. And you go back into the map and

kill all of them. That was a funny one. Okay, here is a screenshot from the Exile memes. The infinite fracturing of the oh God. Yeah, very cool. Wait, don't know if. Don't know if someone posted it, but this was track them's groups play split. They had a lot of issue. I think one guy was like gone that first day. Their carry was gone, and then like they played for legit like one or two days, maybe oh. They probably like spent all their money gearing and then played for like yeah. However long like a day and then split. So it's just kind of like Jesus there like four days a sad League to try out group play in. Yeah, that is the worst like the like any time in the last three would have been like awesome. But yeah, yeah, yeah. Jesus, that is depressing. Oh God. Oh, we have some. We have some subtract them comment section. Is the in Hall of Flame yet. Actually no. Rock just po there it is. Wait, what just do Beast farming. This is so cringe.

worthy dude this one mode of Quant based Group Play is dead, but you can just go around six Man groups doing Harvest Beast memories and make ludicrous AMS of divines. And your proof of that group, and your proof of it is that a group that cheats and has been banned for cheating multiple times says it's dead. Lmou read read the other one read the other one holy [ __ ] boom may you do New Dawn arise with did guys is it under four hours yes sub 4our campaign. I'm okay with that with the rdit now I need to put the character together here we go he's in Kings March of course he's in Kings March. His shipment is back nice town there it is he probably got this from a ship let's be honest boom okay thank you boots acquired nice we got the ring guys GG it's not great but it's a start we are reduced magic find Gamers now this build is going to be a reduced magic findind build what a dumb

bra, that is beautiful. Thank you. All right, guys, we acquired our second ring. It's reduced Rarity. We have now two reduced Rarity rings. And then we need our chest, which I already bought, so let me grab that from the minus lining res. I'm sure people figured out that it is, in fact, a Doryani's prototype build settler. Nice. Down. Oops. 12C gloves acquired. He's petting dude. He was petting the stats. 236 we crit. Catalyst it up in the future. All right, amulet acquired. Nice, guys. I have six divines to buy a bow and a quiver and cluster jewels and a Watcher's eye and gems and flasks. Thankfully, I won't need a helmet. Okay, this character will not be wearing a hat. Okay, I don't have a hat. I beat the allegations. Oh, we can put on the chest. What do we need for these boots? Level 84 Paladin boots. What the [ __ ] is a paladin? He says on C. Thank you.

already crafted life beautiful. XXX g g g g XX will sell us a bow beautiful even has some light sockets for good measure. thanks. XXX g g g G XX okay okay that looks good frenzy Mana forged arrow and snaring arrow and life tab. okay and then haste and flesh and stone. that's our bow. I'm buying level one gems. it's time guys crit multi inspiration volatility and finally the main Gem of the build tornado shot. it's time to play Tornado shot again but a funky version. last time I played tornado shot it was Giga cocked MF in Affliction and you couldn't make a strong character. maybe this time we can make it stronger because we are reducing the Rarity not increasing it like an Affliction. so I'm going to play Tornado shot with specters and I'm going to link my tornado shot in my gloves and I'm not going to wear a hat. that's the build. I don't know if it's good. we'll try it out. we're going doriani reducing.

their lightning res into negative because my lightning res is minus 50. In fact, I need to unspec AA. Can I sell it to arir himself? No, I can't. Okay, we'll pretend that this was for arir. Book of arir, and now we are minus 65 lightning res. Very good. So that's going to be our, that's going to be the mob's lightning res. And then we also need, um, the timeless jeel to turn, uh, this node into dance with death. Here we go. Thank you. Okay, guys, the reason I don't have a Helm is this. Here we go. Now this is dance with death, and, uh, and that means you can't use helmets. Your Critical Strike chance is lucky, your damage with critical strikes is lucky, and enemies' critical strikes against you is lucky. You just can't use a helmet. This is Peak Path of Exile, and now we have this, and we have no Helm, no hat, and in return we are lucky, very lucky build. Oh, six blue, there we go. Look at that race Spectre convocation me sheld.

automation let's do minion life or or something or a Elemental Army Jesus all right if I catalyze up my venters will the night negative lightning rest go even more negative dude that's sick my quiver to oh lightning to fire and minus 194 lightning res and we are res capped holy [ __ ] this baild has so much room to grow guys let's go uhoh Maven is watching this I don't think I'm ready for that also I should be Point blanking there we go okay I haven't even told you the best stuff about this build all right we got the maven bacon baked into the map receptacle uh and I think it's time to take this build to the next level and buy a corpse perfect Spirit of Fortune guys I bought a corpse okay why do you need a perfect good question because the perfect Spirit of Fortune is is perfect look at that okay we're going to use our race Spectre and raise him look at him he's perfect now we have

a level 30 Wrath Aura, and our lightning damage is lucky. Hopefully this guy doesn't die in the next map though. All right, the build is ramping. It's twice. It's very lucky. Okay, not only my lightning damage is lucky, my crits are also lucky, and I have Volatility Support. So if I High Roll, I really high roll, and they have like no minus 200 lightning res 'cause that's what I have, and my crits call built into Marines, which is pretty cool. I guess I could pick up a second Spectre, maybe a bubble boy, just 'cause why not. We'll go to Act 3, Spectre of God. We desecrate here, we look for undying evangelist. There he is, and he is my second specter. So now I have a bubble boy and a Wrath Aura bot. Can I clear Merciless Lab with this character? Let's find out. All are stopping there. I don't know yet. This is what I'm starting [ __ ] intive build. Oh my God.

we'll see how it goes for Atlas unlocking. Uh, if it feels terrible, I can spend more. I haven't touched my group split yet. This is just from sheep dumb asses. So, you know, we'll see how it fills and, uh, go from there more. That's about loot. Where is loot? Loot disparity shouldn't be this much between. Oh my God, Reddit is onto it. They figured it out. They the loot. Where's the ground loot map loot is horrible. Gave it some time. 172 uploads. 100 comments. Ground base loot is in a pretty bad spot. Loot disparity shouldn't be this much between t16 and 17. Where is loot, dear GGG? S okay is amazing. S of candra or Settlers of. Oh, okay. Settlers of K is amazing. Map loot is atrocious. They found it. And then there is snaps video. Every single problem that existed with d7s before still exists now. I love the league, but the base loot feels awful right now. Damn. They are actually pointing out the correct issues.

this time, God damn, very impressed with Reddit. This time around, they know it's back to tile-based loot farming. Man, you click the chest, the loot pops out, all three currency items. GG, that's the thing. Whatever happened, Kandra is still the issue. They like deleted ground loot, and then there was a million different Band-Aid solutions that got us through all of these leagues. Right after Kandra, ground loot was terrible, right? But then, you know, Cru came, and uh, there was still Seance in the game, so Enrage Strongboxes still had 500% Quant, and that was carrying the juicers. And then, in Tota, uh, there was still NRA Seant, and there was also uh, Ghost, which was a lot of Quant, and that carried the loot. And then, Affliction came, and Wildwood Wisp juicing Giga Heart carried the loot, and there still was Enra Ston, by the way, but then Stant were gone, but they added Giga Card Scarabs, and that carried the loot for the juicers, but now all of that's gone.

and we're left with the bare bones of kundra ground loot with nothing to supplement it. Basically, uh-oh, please don't die. You are free. Okay, we made it, guys. Guys, plus two projectiles. Oh my God, that should feel so much better. Thank God. Oh, we did it. As Mark, Precision, Flame Dash, and Mark on hit. Now, who is Mark and why is he hitting the gem in the, um, next map? We'll try how the build functions now. Oh, we're getting the Nico [ __ ] yes. Oh, thank God. L-man for attentive build. This is, uh, this is very functional, especially considering my gems aren't leveled. We'll see the single target on the yellow boss flag. FL comp ass nice. Yo, strong boxes nice. And my specters are still alive, popping off. All right, if the minions get bleed, it's J. Oh no, maybe I need a flash that, like, heals my minions or something. All right, boss damage. He just jumped off screen. It's working.
