Steelmage hops into some reworked Heist to see how the changes feel in Hardcore Path of Exile Affliction Stream: Dec 13th, 2023 Support the Stream - / steelmage Twitter - / steelmage2 Discord - / discord Edited by Toad
You should get +1 to level of all jobs on most rogues, as it increases what you can run with them and buffs their main perk. Gianna is especially important, as you get more and even cheaper reveals. Job level also increases job speed.
I ran my third blueprint this league last night and picked up a simplex amulet. I figured it was worth a bit but I was surprised when I got out and price checked it and found it was approximately 100 divines. I had made 2 divines prior to finding this, what a game changer!
What's a good build to run Heist? I always get like "halfway" invested into it but then I blow all my coins on a couple blueprints in SSF and usually give it up for the league. I play on Hardcore if that matters. Honestly this bow build seems pretty good, but I never know which of the "mechanics" I can skip, I see some people just run right through lasers/traps etc but I'm not sure what type of damage they even do. If anyone has any pointers or can point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it
Something that can move kinda fast, and is semi-tanky, is more than enough. You never NEED to kill something, and you never roll blueprints because quant doesn't affect chests or end rewards, so the mobs don't get too juicy. Almost anything can run heist decently.
Honestly even with the buff to hiest and Im enjoying it a lot, it seems next on the chopping block. Either that or Ritual. But im only saying that because I think a similar league is on the way. Not missing metamorph at all though. F if you are.
he does 12 hour sessions and it took him 3 streams to farm a taste of hate? wtf was his atlas? i ran strongboxes atlas with double div card drops, and 6 of 9 taste of hate cards came from boxes, and done in about 8 hours
The way most enemies have invincibility frames when you open doors makes heist too frustrating and not worth running imo if i can get 1 shot they should too period none of this cant be killed until after they ambush the doorway
Heist loose "target farm" but gain possibility to farm specifique zone and build around the trap and monster. Replica and Trincket farming was hell, and now it's worse. Each contract or blueprint zone has related reward room and job type associate. I guess this is the new aspect to focus on optimization.
Honestly, the main issue I have with heist is that even now I still don’t know how to efficiently level up the helpers to the point that I can run any blueprint
@@Razahoo7 I said efficiently, I always end up with like 7 billion heist maps that are too high to run with any of my current characters and like 5 low level ones
@@RedOfFlames Unless you are taking the atlas nodes that increase the chance of level 4/5 contracts in maps, you should be getting contracts for all job levels from caches even in t16 maps. You can also roll job exp gain on all 4 rogue slots, though I just do the 3 generic ones and swap them around. Pretty easy to alt spam for 7-8% for 20%+ which will make getting to level 5 shorter by 2 contracts maybe?
Heist is TBH better than b4. Everyone says "it's bad, trash" But it's like delve, you need to focus on it. All or nothing. Overall its better. Amazing even. People just don't know how to run it. The only setback to heist they did this league is add more bugs to the AI.
this: I heisted every league with very dedicated strats, they all got CHUNKED . But ye, if you just running for the juice, it works mid-tier. Still good income, just nowhere near what it was@@ragingnep
@@ragingnepasmodeus is a primarily heist runner and he said functionally nothing changed unless you simply ran past everything in heist to get the rewards
@@awemowe2830 I've never had any crashes in the decade I've played this game until this league, and it's an acknowledged by the developers to be a bug. Go fix yourself
Heist sucks as a mechanic it will never be good no matter how they try to improve it. But that is my opinion. ---- edit it is clunky and it will always be clunky that is why it sucks
