Oh wow, really? Good for them then.
And wow they're doing emergency maintenance as we speak. Must suck because it's Friday night in NZ.

Some improvements coming to the Harbinger League in the way of harder encounters and better drop potential. And the new supporter packs not to be available until mid next week.

That's good. I think the league is way too hated to begin with, Harbinger and Horizon orbs are incredible for making progress in tier 11+ map completion.

Only problem with harbingers is that I can go 3 or more full clear maps without ever seeing one. And when I do see one, it drops 1/20th of a useful orb. Idea is good, but currently they are way too rare to have any impact.
I'm hoping the changes will improve that.
Someone on reddit compared them to Warbands and this is exactly the problem. You see them so rarely, and when you do their drops are underwhelming.
Compared to Breaches, where every map had 2-3 and every Breach was a drop extravaganza that scaled with the clearing power of your build. There was a very good sense of feedback there and consistent reward loop.

I just found out that Divine Vessels can drop in Uber Lab chest rewards.

Like armor? I'll try again today.

The good news is that some of the money you spent on the points pack applies as a discount for the upcoming Harbinger pack, so you didn't really waste anything.
Armour from gear or a Granite Flask (even better with a % armour mod). Alternatively a Basalt flask or endurance charges. Izaro will also chase a Decoy totem very reliably. And Stibnite flasks are useful as well, even more so if you're an evasion build already. You can also try using Enfeeble, a defensive curse.
Any combination of the above makes the fight much safer.

Thank you! One question about Enfeeble: I got Enfeeble coupled with a "Cast when damage taken" gem, however I don't have Enfeeble in one of my 8 hotkey slots (because they're full). Does it still activate when I get hit?
Yup. Provided the condition on Cast when Damage Taken is satisfied, that's all that matters.

Thanks again. Any way to tell if I enfeeble a mob? Just to be sure.

They will get a VERY distinct icon swirling on top of them.

I shaped spider forest this go around. It has good sextant potential and The Doctor div card drops from it.

Just go in the UI options and select the loot filter and you're good to go.

I've got a question concerning the stash tab sale items. The premium stash tab bundle contains six premium stash tabs and the ability to rename and change their colors. That bundle is 165. Can't I just purchase the premium tab for 110 and purchase the upgrade premium tab for an extra 10 for a total of 120? What am I missing here?
You mean purchase the normal tab pack for 110? The upgrade to premium only works on one tab, not all of them, do it would be 110+60, slightly more than just buying premium tabs.

Ah, so that only upgrades one tab to premium tab. Gotcha. So it would be better to just buy the premium stash tab bundle for more premium tabs?
Just as a heads-up, there is clearly a significant amount of false positive bans going on right now. They're looking into it. Sounds like something to do with a false positive trigger firing on level up. A grip of people in particular are showing logs where they get disconnected by the detection system immediately on hitting level 40. You'll probably get your account back.
Priority for extra tabs (imo):
Currency -> Divinity -> Essence -> Premium Quad Tabs -> Premium Tabs
The first three I recommend highly personally, Currency being by far the best first purchase. You don't want a ton of quad tabs in my opinion, they are better for personal use than trading (the squares are really small and harder to scan and find stuff quickly at a glance), but are really good storage for tabs like your map stash or other stockpiling tabs (white bases, uniques you are saving for prophecy, etc). You probably want a few regular premium tabs for trading purposes.

Man I jumped back on the train yesterday and I'm currently at the beginning of the second act. I've got into the game around 4 times and have always finished the first campaign at least once but quit before the end game so that's what I'm shooting for. Though I'm not to stoked that I bought my currency, divinity, and essence tabs yesterday.

Might wanna hit up customer service about that last part. Not saying they will do anything, but they've been pretty good with me in the past over stuff like this.

Thanks for the tip!
You were right! I hit up support a couple of days ago when my account was banned and they just got back to me last night. They said there was a bug in their anti cheat system that was wrongly flagging accounts. They unbanned my account and gave me this Reddit link for more info.

Glad I was able to get it back!

Anyone know if the DC servers are still messed up? They were seriously fucked yesterday. I lose two Uber trials due to failing to join instances and bad lag in maps.
Texas servers were okay but the DC servers were a shit show.

Most of the time you can just switch the gem and not even change your build. Cyclone and Sunder wind up building nearly the same a lot of the time.
Currency and Essence tabs are in my opinion essential
Premium tabs are a nice addition
I know "Auction House" is a no-no word for ARPGs (thanks Diablo3) but man I wish POE had one.
I feel like the variety in currency items would help mitigate the pure gold sink. I never know what to try and sell something for or what I should be paying in a trade.
Any tips on trading?

Well I already had to use all the respec points I've gotten fixing my build. I just got to act 4. Don't know if I'll have enough.
The video I saw also used a Marauder for the sunder build.

Download trade macro. It helped me learn the economy much faster. Helps price rares.
Look for important things. Damage rolls, critical multi, resistances, elemental damage rolls. Trade macro will allow you to pick certain rolls on gear and automatically search poetrade for similar items. It's a must have for PoE IMO.
Poe.ninja is great for pricing div cards, prophecies, and ratios for currency trading.
Thanks Hoff

Link to the macro?
You can do that, or get it on your gear.
Cleared act 10 final boss with pretty minimal stats. Well I should my minion army of death cleared act 10 final boss. Actually, my minion army of death killed all the bosses after act 7 since I would only last about 30 seconds then watch my army wail away for a couple minutes
