How to Progress in SSF! Hardcore and Softcore (PoE 3.24)

[@bennett_quack]

Great video covering a ton of different tips for SSF. Adding another tip for when I'm not ailment immune yet is getting `Used when you become Ignited` on a flask that also has the suffix for `Grants Immunity to Ignite for # seconds if used while Ignited. Removes all Burning when used`. It does cause the flask to not always be on if I'm not actively pressing it, but I've so many ignite deaths that this is something that I prefer as I get the build online and my layers of defenses up.

[@everseenTV]

@bennett_quack fair enough! I've never had much trouble with ignite myself. It's also nice to do that with bleed or poison too if you can't get the immunities. Exarch is really the only scary ignite scenario for me personally. Thanks too man appreciate the comment!

Just don't use this on an RF build! Unless you want a way of intentionally turning off your RF like in the Maven fight.

[@everseenTV]

@@graham9880 honestly it's really good to use on maven. Used to at least when RF damage was better, turn RF off and rely on fire trap for last phase. Better than hitting a beam and getting deleted by your own RF lmao

[@ericboldger777]

This guide is absolutely amazing. Exactly what I was looking for, and explains things in "the right order" for my brain. Im going to attempt SSF for the first time.

[@everseenTV]

Awesome man! Glad it helped you out. I really tried to make it as new player friendly with some decent core tips. Good luck on it! I went SSF and never looked back :)

[@S.Korolev]

@@everseenTV as a new player with only 160 hours i find this a bit overwhelming in terms of time that is going to be put into that playthrough. Still wanna try ssf. Looks like it will be very educational playthrough

[@everseenTV]

@S.Korolev it's the best way to learn in my opinion. SSF teaches you how to play or beat your head against a wall lol

[@S.Korolev]

@@everseenTV made it to the prison today with templar, fireball and wall of fire. Doing that custom necro event league. It feels much harded than usual in some areas? I was killed so many times in mud flats hahaha

[@everseenTV]

@S.Korolev it's way harder than the normal game. They added a ton of overturned monsters lol

[@Canceraq]

Good video. Been with Poe since alpha tests, however rather casual player. At some point I think arpund harbinger league decided to go SSF and did for 5 or 6 leagues. It was such a different experience, and I have learned the most!

[@everseenTV]

@Canceraq yessir! And thanks for the comment. I've enjoyed SSF for quite awhile now because every single time you play it different things happen. Helps spice up the game not to get boring :)

[@rdgKnova]

fucking blaster vidoe again bro, im grateful for finding your channel!

[@everseenTV]

thanks man appreciate the kind words :D glad to have you here!

[@trymusic4life]

Great video, never played SSF though.

[@everseenTV]

@@trymusic4life thanks! Appreciate you watching :) it's pretty fun if you want more of a challenge out of the game!

[@S.Korolev]

got 4 quicksilvers and a bismuth flask from the prison strongbox

[@crazycdn8327]

Great video, I’m bad at the game but I do love SSF. League start guides are always welcome. I know you have a bone shatter video, can’t remember if it’s a guide though.

[@everseenTV]

haha no worries the great thing about SSF is it goes by your own pace. I only suggested it but not a full guide!

[@ThePainqT]

My problem with ssf right now are the transf. gems . Getting a specif. gem you need is pain in the ass .

[@everseenTV]

@ThePainqT yeah I agree. Honestly it's just the massive pool of green gems. The only saving grace is getting the mod to turn a gem into its transfigured version on the divine font. Like finding needles in a haystack tho, brutal

[@Dimitripersson]

The whole point of ssf, is that u actually play the game, instead of grinding divines.... Run labs correctly and it takes max a few hours to get what you want.

[@taylorhayter2835]

Why did boneshatter become non-meta this league?

[@everseenTV]

basically the melee changes made the mana cost way too much. People still did it, but it just wasn't common because the mana cost made it really hard to use

[@wdwdHenry9022]

how hard is this. How long would take to complete all major end game content from lvl 1? Is it even possible?

[@everseenTV]

@wdwdHenry9022 to complete everything? It really depends on the player to be honest. Some of the best players kill the hardest bosses in under a week

[@obviouslee2061]

Nice

[@estebanstrangiato]

Just a reminder that 40% MORE damage for Precise Technique is multiplicative ( as in 40x damage) while 60% INCREASED damage is additive (so 60% + whatever else). Apologies if this is covered already, only 3 minutes in.

[@everseenTV]

@@estebanstrangiato yeah true I probably should have mentioned that PT is multiplicative with all other damage nodes. It's kind of a crazy keystone that gives so much more damage than it shows at face value

[@Zevrael]

Slight correction: 40 % more is not 40x damage, but 1.4x.

[@everseenTV]

@@Zevrael yes exactly

[@Licht1995]

Stop using words you don't know the meaning of. Thanks.

[@everseenTV]

@@Licht1995 Thanks dad!

[@noimnotnice]

This is an early leveling guide that every decent league player already knows. It doesn't serve as a progress guide to SSF, as nothing specific to this game mode is addressed: which mechanics to farm to obtain end-game crafting materials, how to maximize the income of things necessary for a gameplay loop and so on. Pretty disappointing, given the title.

[@everseenTV]

Hey, sorry you're disapointed. There are many other people who have told me the opposite, can't please everyone I guess. The video does have timestamps which indicate what the criteria is. Most of it was leveling and "Progression" tips targeted towards newer players hence the title "New to SSF?" In my opinion, I think you misinformed yourself, this video was not really about anything you wanted. I can definitely look into doing more SSF outlined league mechanic videos, but I think this video was not supposed to be that or misleading in anyway. Cheers
