So, join the one percent of players getting to level 90 without any ascendency class at all, and avoid the content you don't like.
Step one: make a character with:

3,8k life

molten strike combined with faster attacks and multistrike (wat) resulting in ~8k initial hit dps and 2,5k magma orb damage (1 wildifre jewel)

White flasks

determination for low amount of armour

Step two: use whirling blades as movement skill

Step three: complain about lab

Step four: ?

Step five: profit

edit: 22k dps with her embrace, such a nice buff when in lab :o

I definitely agree with the lab-is-shit opinion. One can usually avoid most of the not-fun trap gauntlets in the first two labyrinths. The trap gauntlets there usually lead to things like silver keys or silver chests. Not worth the tedium of the trap gauntlet. In merciless lab and uber lab the trap gauntlets are still required content. To minimize the chance of having to repeat the loathsome lab content in these last two labs, watch the daily lab site, http://www.poelab.com/. It will usually indicate when the better days are there in the comment section. (Frequently two-handed mace Izaro with no essences) The dark shrines are usually also worth picking up in the last two labs, making Izaro less likely to make you repeat the horrible content. And try not to leave Izaro buffed from the first two Izaro encounters. See zSavage's Brief Guide on how to Kill Izaro

I usually consider the above kind of stuff to be not-fun cheating, since a big part of the fun is learning the boss fights on my own. But, the loathsome labyrinth needs to be avoided as much as possible in order to keep PoE a fun game worth playing for many people.

Okay, I get you like to recruit people for your thread and shit, but come on man...

Guy has a white fucking level 36 flask at Level 75. He could be crying about clearing a Yellow tier map for all we know. I'm sorry but there's frustration with the Lab, and then there's being an uninformed vegetable. You don't need me to tell you which one I'm leaning towards.


I'm not trying to recruit anyone for anything. I was just trying to help Willemoesium to better get through the content that he doesn't enjoy so that he can enjoy the rest of the game. I didn't look at his characters because he didn't give any indication that he was finding the content difficult. Only that the lab content was shit. Actually I did consider looking to see which of the four labyrinths he was talking about but decided that it didn't really matter for my response.

edit: I looked at his abyss league character and it appears that he's done with the first two labs. So he was probably running merciless lab. Regarding your assertion above. He does have a blue level 36 flask and a white hallowed life flask and his character is level 75. What does that supposed to mean? That he would enjoy playing labyrinth if he had bothered with better flasks? If that's it then I think you're mistaken.

U are not supposed to tank the traps, is more like you being dumb than the content being shit. Lab is easy pz if you know what you are doing. Tips: don't get impatient and calculate your movements.

Game has def been different since 2.4.

Even abyss trash has phasing now, 5 rooms to kill a lich. Wait for izaro, shaper and elder to talk and go immune while your power charges and dots wear off.

Im miner now, i love how the yellows in abyss are immune to damage, its like ggg thinks the flying things in act2 d3 were a good idea.

ROFL

WHAT AM I LOOKING AT

LEVEL 75

WHITE LEVEL 36 FLASKS

Also playing literally *the* lab smashing class.

I need to bleach my eyes.


https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Flask
Here is the list of flasks. If you look at the stats, his instant lvl36 flask is almost as good as an instant lvl50 flask (it's worse than the 42 one, but do you roll lvl 42 flasks? i don't). The lvl42 flask has 3 uses while the lvl50 only two. While leveling you don't find many lvl 60 flasks which are arguably better than the 42 ones (3 uses and more life) so i can assume that OP didn't find one. It happens to me all the time.

I am in the same situation as OP a lot of times when leveling and i don't think i need to git gud. Sry.
I'm a forum warrior, i was born to post, raised to defend my league. Now my post has been removed, chained and exiled by mods who Ban. Ban is my brother; i do not fear it. I see it in the eyes of men and beasts that i troll. It will take me to play the actual game when i am ready and i am not ready.
