What have RNG gods gifted you the best in POE ever?
This league i learned something new and brought me the best luck i've had in a long time (not considering a lucky 6-link in perandus).
Somehow I missed the recipe for the agnerod staves, that give the unique map. IIRC that was introduced in 2.1 and that totally slipped by me, most likely because Talisman is the only league i never played. During Perandus, Prophecy and even start Essence i saw people buying the staves in bulk, but never really checked why.
During the start of Essence i had 1 Agnerod drop. Even knowing there was something up with those, i still sold it (40+c while people in trade wanted to pay 25c, so i was happy). However i still sold it so fast i did some more research then i did before and found the answer: Vinktar Squar. Totally missed that recipe! was kinda bummed i sold that staff.
In the week after i found out, I found 4 more agnerod staves; in order: west, north east and then suddenly even south. No doubles, all in a week time. LUCKY ME!
Ran Vinktar Square with my brother. Flask dropped for me. Checked on POEtrade and saw they went for ~100c cheapest. Put mine up for 95c because i prefer fast sales for a bit less over having a full stash of nonsales. Insta sell. Got spammed insanely hard for that flask. Sold it to the first PM, which IMO is the best/honest thing to do. PM no 2 was a very honest guy who let me know i had the Physical roll on the flask and it was worth up to 7 ex......
So even though i F'd up with the flask sale, I'm still happy i ran a new map (and got challenge part), got a good drop and made some money. The luck on the staves however i the best dropluck is ever had, and that matters more then even the 5ex i missed out on.

Frost wall spell was set to 100% chance to block your projectiles again in POE
Most cold projectiles shatter on impact ( arctic breath, cold shot), this would be the cold version of poe Orb of storm for lightning.

In Path of Exile you have two different resources that keep you from dying
In Path of Exile you have two different resources that keep you from dying. Feels free to compare to other classes if you're not feeling raider is up to par, or if swords isnt your thing.

The way armor works is too RNG in Path of Exile
The problem isn't really map mods. The problem is that armor and evasion are not even close to as good as having a giant 'life' pool.
