PoE (early) late game

[Vorgoth]

Hello,
I was playing PoE with my cyclone warrior and was having a blast. I did all main quests by myself and got to the end game content. I was completing Atlas and decided to play with team as co-op to have more fun. Well in every team there was always this guy who kind of one shotted everything and there was no fun in playing (I was only following and picking up items).

1) Is it possible to filter and find a team who wants to chill and not jump and kill everything at once? Like some level cap or damage cap or something?

2) I have a problem with this: I'm picking up some guide and when I get to late game and collect the set for this class I don't feel the need to play anymore. What do you guys farm late game? I mean, ok I get orbs of chaos, sometimes exile orbs, but whats the point? What can I spend it on?

I think most players are farming exp for level prestige not specifically for currency, but having a lot of currency stockpiled would mean you could start a new char effortlessly or go for a really expensive OP build like herald. If you don't enjoy those ideas, maybe find a friend who will start a new char with you and play through fresh and ungeared?

1) no, play with friends i guess. The guy that oneshotted and rushed through just plays the game how it should be. (Be fast, be efficient, only pickup stuff that is actually worth something or is sellable in bulk)
2) farm whatever you want. There are many things you can do. Farm doctor cards in burial chambers or spiderforest. Make a Labyrinth carry service and enchant items. Delve as deep as you can. Make another character. farm breaches and sell breachstone rots. Farm einhar and sell valuable monsters, farm a mirror with div cards,...

every season i set myself a goal and try to reach it. This league i farmed my first headhunter. Took 200-250 maps to get 4 doctors. The other 4 cards i bought with the currency i got while farming burials. There is many stuff you can do that takes endless to finish.

Holy moly, there are a lot of things to do at end game :O I really liked a labyrinth, because of this feeling of opening chests. Is it cool option for end game?

Also why would you complete atlas? For your sattisfaction or there is more to it?

What build is cool in this Delirium league that doesnt spawn mass effects to your screen? Like green arrows that are shot from above. Is Arc Witch from Enki a viable choice? I'm looking for something fun to play and it looks like it :)

Big problem with cooping in the sense of "actually playing together and slaying monsters together" is killing speed of different skills / builds.
Me and a friend played coop from lvl 1 to endgame once, i did a totem build, he had some melee stuff. By the time my totems were placed and started attacking, my buddy already had killed most of the mobs on the screen. I was more or less just running behind him and collecting.
When we reached endgame i switched over to my arc caster since the totem guy was no fun at that point in coop and the situation instantly reversed. I killed everything and my friend just ran along and helped with bosses.
tl:dr: if you look for "real" coop, find a buddy to play with you and plan your builds beforehand to get similar killing-speed.

There is much more. Do whatever you like the most. I hate the labyrinth but it is one of the most profitable things you can do. Just write in the trade 820 channel that you make uber lab carrys and charge 20 or 25c per person. (I think it was something around that) On league start you will find enough people to carry, at the end not so often.
Learn the todays layout and run anything inside it. You have to solve all the parcour and get the keys and provide a safe route for your companions. When they die in a trap it's their fault. They can join the next run and you charge them again. You get the full loot + 25c of anyone you carry per run + take a helmet with you that you want to enchant. Example: abyssus + 40% frostblades damage you could sold for 18ex this league. So yeah you can make a sh*tton of currency there. But you want as many runs in the lowest amount of time to make big profit.

Atlas completion makes the game harder. Buffs the modifier on maps and better map drops. Just hover with the cursor over the map completion nuber or awakener bonus. You see what they change. Also with completing all bonus objectives and awakener bonuses of a region you unlock favorite map slots. (In your atlas on the left side where you have also the slots to stash your watchstones) the selected maps drop more often. You can also set the same map 3 times in a region. Helps a lot with map sustain.

Or people go to global 820 and get a uber lab carry for just the loot and 0c investment. Seriously, only idiots would pay for uber lab carry. There are a lot of nice people in the game, no need to fall victim to greedy **** :)
Also reading OP posts, he doesn't sound to have a build suitable for carrying others through uber lab yet. Just getting started with endgame and everything endgame offers.

[VoiD_[AT] [Bulg0gi-gaming]]

Is it greedy to ask for a return for a service you provide? Nope it isn't. In fact the need for a lab carry is so big that people pay for it. It's your own fault if you provide it for free. Also 20c doesn't hurt anybody. Run one or 2 juiced red maps and you have it back. Your other point is invalid. Yeah he seems like a unexperienced player but anyone can farm uberlab. There are many budget builds that can handle this. Mb not as a full lobby but ez with 2 others. All of us where unexperienced at some point but with each time we did something we got better in it. When he likes the lab and run it without any problems then why not start to farm it. When he knows he can carry 2 others and still survive he can start to charge some chaos for it.

But yeah you are right I didn't realize that he maybe has no idea about the crusader and sirus stuff thats going on later in mapping. So @Vorgoth: when you want a deep explanation of the whole endgame and what to do to get your character to fully juiced T16 maps feel free to PM me. It's just way to much to pin it down in a posting and also i don't know how much you already know about this game.

[Vorgoth]

Hello, thanks for in-depth explanation. That's right that I'm unexperienced player, but I can watch some videos and try my best :p To this day I had no idea how much end game content poe offers. I have two questions though.
1) Do you prefer to play alone or 6 ppl party or maybe both have some advantages?
2) If you had to list 3 most op but cheapest builds, what would it be? (I planned to play Arc Witch with some Enki guide)

[VoiD_[AT] [Bulg0gi-gaming]]

Play alone until you reach awakener level 8 and defeated sirus. Mapping with others brings only the guy who opens the map progress in the story. But after you killed sirus the story ended and you are free to farm with others. Puuh your second question is a good one. It depends on the league. Every league introduces a new mechanic and buffs and nerfs for some skills and changes in the skilltree. Always look for an updated version off the build you want to play.
Arkwitch looks good. A pretty cheap one was erosos frostblades berserk for farming. But it's not that great for bossing. Iceshot deadeye is also a good choice. But there are many ways you can go.

Thanks BaithovenVerehrer33 for your answers. They encouraged me to play and learn new things about PoE. Have a good day :)
