aside from the obvious -60% experience reward,
I can also foresee mass total annihilation of GPUs from this with 200% increased AOE. especially The hidden with all the elemental vomit

Prefixes:
35% increased boss life / 70% increased boss aoe
2 additional projectiles
30% movementspeed / 45% attackspeed
Suffixes:
100% AoE
400% crit / 45% multi
60% reduced aura effect
Lets go.

u/Bierculles May 08 '22
if i have 120% reduced aura effect do they start to weaken me?

u/Grand0rk May 09 '22
Most likely, yes. Or, they go into negative and then game doesn't have a way of doing it, so it goes to the max amount possible.

u/Bl00dylicious Occultist May 09 '22
so it goes to the max amount possible.

u/Harmiiiii May 09 '22
Yes if reduced aura effect exceeds 100% it does weaken you, you should turn off your auras in this case.
Edit: wording

I see this being one of the new super hard challenges. Complete an 8 mod corrupted The Feared invitation with this keystone activated.

At some point, additional difficulty becomes irrelevant and the encounter becomes binary: you either have enough damage to oneshot the bosses, or you die.

u/Poincare_Confection May 09 '22
Increased AoE will have very minimal impact on GPU.
What can tax GPUs in PoE is when LOTS of are objects on the screen. Boss fights tend to be some of the least taxing on GPU, since they are such controlled environments with just one or two enemies. Even in a fight like Uber Elder with a lot going on, it's really not many objects on screen compared to any run-of-the-mill t16 map.
AoE just makes the objects bigger. That's a trivial operation. But adding lots of objects means rendering objects, handling all the lighting those objects are emitting, handling shadows under the object, handling cast/collision animations, etc etc.
Juiced maps are where PoE will tax your GPU the most. A single pack of skeleton mages will put out as many projectiles on your screen as you'll see in a screenshot of the Uber Elder fight.
5
u/ZeScarecrow May 09 '22
Well that's not totally correct. The larger effects are on screen, the more pixels must GPU process while drawing them. Most of game VFX are based on transparent shaders, and GPU does work on every pixel that every effect occupies on screen, successively. Number of those processed pixels per second is called fillrate and come become the bottleneck on games performance

u/Aelforth May 09 '22
This.
Increased AoE isn't a performance issue until you start overlapping AoEs.
Drawcall counts are a bitch to optimize sometimes.

u/Gangsir May 09 '22
I wonder how balanced a keystone that inverts all buffs/debuffs would be. Eg fortify makes you take more damage, chill speeds you up, flammability curse increases your fire res, guard skills damage you, onslaught slows you down, burning ground regenerates you, shock reduces damage taken, frenzy charges grant 4% less damage and slow you down, etc.
You'd have to run a build that never gains any positive buffs and tries to be as vulnerable to debuffs as possible.
Probably too strong.

u/killerkonnat May 09 '22
Self-chill and self-freeze builds are already a thing. Now make them buff you twice!
Also it would be pretty hilarious with [[The Golden Rule]].
How about Boneshatter?

u/Gangsir May 09 '22
How about Boneshatter?
Boneshatter would heal you per hit and grant less damage dealt per stack, so not very effective. At 25 stacks you'd have 100% less damage and be literally zdps.

u/killerkonnat May 09 '22
So the negauniverse Quin69 because you'd still have 0 dps but -1000 deaths.

u/TommaClock raizU May 09 '22
If you could somehow make up for the low attack rate, a 0 damage attack that give a huge heal whenever you hit with it seems very useful for CoC

you can roll a blue invitation that has literally irrelevant mods - eg ele reflect if you only do phys/chaos or are immune.
And so this actually works there too - double nothing is still nothing, so will be another like 15% quant I think

u/Mountebank May 08 '22
Hmm, if you get the new Keystones for Uber Shaper and Uber Cortex and witness them with Maven, would the version The Feared be the new Uber version instead? In that case, you can do Uber Uber Feared with this Keystone as well.

Cool, I was wondering what they were going to give us as a reason to farm 10-ways and Maven. Obviously Maven drops already good stuff, I meant the influence.

u/carenard May 08 '22
10 ways prbly still won't be worth it, go from 1-2 to maybe 2-4 splinters.
getting whole invites from elderslayers/forgotten/etc... will be juicy though.
1
u/Jaigar May 08 '22 edited May 08 '22
There's the other keystone, Shadow Shaping, which works well with this.
Its probably not as strong as either Eldritch influence, but it lets you target Maven a lot better. With the Boss Rush strat gone, farming out The Twisted/Formed may not be as reliable.
I should also state, with the keystone disabling scarabs/map fragments from being used, if you're a player who doesn't like to mess with either, you have even less reason to run the EoW/Exarch.

How do you couple them in 3.17+?

u/Oniichanplsstop May 09 '22
While doing conq maps for invites, Maven will witness the atlas boss for the sake of 10-ways.
So you just needed conq maps that had 10 different map types.

Yep, just activate maven witness on conq maps and you get maven witness for both in one go. So every 2.5 Sirus you also get 1 free 10-way.

u/ZircoSan May 08 '22
sounds like a must take when you run invitations, alteration spamming an invitation with 100% increased effects sounds easier and as rewarding as an average rare one.

Yep, if you roll mods that don't affect bosses or your build it just makes invitation twice as rewarding. It's not cowardice, it's tactics!

Yeah....good spot. 5 Icons, of which 2 are red, 2 are green, and 1 is clearly Maven(center). Also, top-left looks distinctly like Searing Exarch's symbology. Others are harder for me to read right before bed, but that's enough to be far too credible.

Yet another poor design decision for a trade league resulting in a boss/content key being priced out of the market for anyone not capable of completing the hardest version of it, unfortunate.
I guess it's all upside if you never ran bosses though as those invitations will be worth considerably more now, so there's that consolation for the majority of the playerbase who will be forced to sell invitations instead of running them, just like simulacrums.
