How I do my Atlas Passive Skill Tree

Thank you so much, I'm in PoE account is Tastyshapes and I got a lot out of this video

could we get a link to this tree easier to save up later :P

I appreciate all these videos, that being said, I imagine its hard to notice sometimes when making beginner friendly videos that a lot of the terms being said just go over a new player's head especialyl in succession

It's the first time i've played since metamorph and i've always loved delve so i'm gonna spec every delve node here

why no atlas builder zizaran why do you hate me?

Can I do your atlas tree you are showing for a league starter?

Can u make end game farming atlast tree? pls

Thanks man, legit was having a hard time figuring out what to do, this video really reassured me that I could do what I wanted.

Have a good 1

this is all well and good, but man i with i knew what any of this meant. as a D4 refugee, im LOVING this game, no idea what's going on :(

How many League mechanics in total would you say you spec into on average each league?

I came to the conclusion for Paragon Boards in D4 being around 4-5 total being the way, and with Path of Exile it's harder to parse as a new player.

Having a loose rule of thumb would be great to work with; like, what's the diminishing return of speccing into too many major league mechanics? What's the total number of League Mechanics you spec into your Atlas if relying on crafting rather than trade?

Thanks for the videos, been taking notes and making my own tier list from your Every League Mechanic video and your recent PoE University with screenshots of those slides. Much more accessible with a guiding hand, the in-game glossary is better than I expected.

Edit
I think a better rating for the League Mechanics, if it still makes sense, would be: Trade Focused, SSF Focused, and mixed/adaptable with your situational or skippable labels.

The out of ten rating is already frivolous if you're basing viability with the current League in mind with those descriptors already being adequate next to MUST HAVE League mechanic. I hope that helps 👍🏻

very helpful!

It's worth noting that the "All Hands" node does disable the ability to get Kirac missions. Took me a minute to figure that out the hard way since it doesnt make sense to me that the node would do that.

how do you sustain maps with no problem?

"I never learned my lesson on Chaos Resist.. I have 12 now, instead of minus 30"
Nothing more relatable ^

I’ll never forget my duplicated apothecary cards my first season playing on the ps5..

I'm new to the atlas skill tree and I saw your video pop up and thought... Ziz... make it make sense!

link atlas pls

Actually one of the best guides yet. I was struggling so hard, because, like you said the feat of missing out.

I felt like running my maps and only doing fast on map content. Ritual, strongboxes, essences, breach. But I thought it would be garbage.

Are shaping the skies and shaping the mountains still useful for early mapping?

Extreme Archaeology is awesome on any build.Throw it down in the densest area and just look at the tool tip. If you see a bricker (immune to fire or cannot be ignited for my EA ballista), find the problem and adjust, then send it. It's way faster than the other way. Another thing not enough people talk about is how you get all the remnants at once, so there's no order to worry about and the bonuses apply to every monster. It can be rippy, but you just prepare for it by positioning on the edge.

Just wondering why all solo players are trade league this league?

my biggest problem is that i like too many mechanics to choose

The problem with the atlas is simoly that i want to play all different league mechanics and frequently change. This game is actively encouraging my autistic side to just stick with something and do it a thousand times or lose currency AND time. It is great but a couple more points or 2 pages with toggle would be good. It is frustrating that it is a huge recpec between uberbossing and non bossing strat as well as eldritch and eater.

And this just for a change of flavor. Me paying for not getting bored of the game fast. I dont like that. It should be encouraged to try everything in the game, not punished.

Same thing with alts. I should be able to untick a box that states that my alt isnt forced to be drowned by the same atlas tree point allocation. It is poor design. It should be character wide not account. This should be a simple change and would encourage and help alts.

Isnt corrupted blood physical ? should be immuned by physical on expedition .

I always pass around the blocking nodes i aighter take niko 4% and move up or take alva 4% and move up , some leagues i cant do because sometimes i play build that cant do shit on some of them and i hate seeing them the 2% to everything esle is so much better anyway . But i dont care about currency , i care about leagues i enjoy and everythign boosting chance for leagues i like is a win for me , also rememebr there is limit to league mechanic on your maps , blocking it unlocks more of the rest .

I love the blocking nodes, they're my favorite thing on the atlas tree tbh. I don't care if it's inefficient or a waste of points to take them - I'm blocking everything that I don't want to see in my maps xd

Am i going crazy or did one cluster of essence nodes get moved?

I am not sure but I think there is a limit to how many mechanics can naturally spawn on a single map without being forced. By blocking content you are making it so that something you don't want to do get loaded into the map instead of something you want to run.

I may be dumb but I am still not sure about the mechanic blocking... Let's say you block 9 of them and leave just one. Does that mean you are going to spawn that one in pretty much every map, or if it was supposed to be the blocked mechanic you get nothing at all instead?

my only complaint with the atlas currently is that the gateways take two points to work. just feels bad.

i'm hoping we get more keystones as well. i like what they added but my original excitement was that we'd get one for each league and then no dice :(.

I personally just can´t stand the clutter of all these mechanics in my map and that 2 % for each note taken adds up to me to +18 spawn chance which is great since I most of them time invest in one mechanic anways and have points to spare so why not use them to get even more of what I like ?

This can also really add up when you running a lot of maps, like that 18 % in 100 Maps means 18 extra encounters of the mechanic I want.

The term you are looking for about those nodes is "opportunity cost"

notes:

don’t get the big harvest node on right

I hear the term "Trade League" a lot, what is that referring to?

Agree the atlas tree is amazing. However THE only downside for me is that I like to do Challenges each league and it "steals" areas of my atlas tree because of the grind. So I don't get to always do the things I like to do (since I prioritize getting challenges done with limited play time).

Regarding the blocking nodes:
My simple softcore brain could not skip mechanics. Leaving a map with a legion in it, hurts me.
Additionally, I am a slow mapper, so my maps are quality > quantity.

I know essences are supposed to be profitable if you bulk sell them, but I can't be bothered with it personally. My personal strat has always been to block most mechanics, max out harbinger, strongboxes and shrines, get some delirium. I like mechanics that are easy and fast to activate and don't slow you down or interrupt you too much when mapping and give you currency rewards primarily. I always preferred raw currency drops over everything else.

Important disclaimer for "All Hands": yes, it's great to see a lot of Jun very early but you're also not getting Kirac Missions anymore, which can be a bit painful to fix your atlas progression hiccups.

Hi Ziz, i'm not sure if i understand your explanation on why do you hate the block nodes. If the additional chance for extra content is that unimportant, why do you almost always take the Stream of Consciousness? For most of the mechanics it only gives +4% chance to spawn, which should make it only slightly stronger than two block nodes. If you are willing to spend two points for the Stream of Consciousness, would you also consider taking some of the block nodes for one point, if you were already pathing through the adjacent node?

The blocking mechanic should be connected to the starter node you still need to put points into it and that should be enough IMO

Blocking Tane from popping up every single time you kill a rare is absolutely worth 2 points.

I'm running Extreme Archeology on an ignite build and it's great and actually makes Expedition enjoyable. It's two mods I can't run ignite and fire immune but the explosion is not big enough to get everything so I just place it, check the mods and replace it if I hit one of the modifiers.

Perfect timing

I just got to maps last night and have no idea to spec this tree

<3

Your title a word.

I guess the No Chance-nodes are meant for people who hate some specific mechanic so much they find it offensive every time they encounter one. So if you still have trauma of tiny Metamorph black bugs in black sludge instakilling you, you can make sure you never see Tane and his Green container again.

I was hopping you explane the new keystones and passives , maybe in another video?

Deez Nodes

I was searching for this kind of video 12 hours ago... Stop reading my mind!
