I fiddled around throwing discharge on my CoC cyclone and with triple curse (via blasphemy), it actually worked pretty well despite having a really low crit chance. I'm considering making a budget CoC Discharge using that principle. I am sorta getting tired of using Cyclone though. It gets fiddly with terrain.

Incidentally Mathil just updated his cyclone coc discharge guide very recently. The big addition is using blade vortex with power charge on critical - it generates absolute poo poo loads of power charges. He says this version of the build does more damage without voll's devotion than the old version did with it, which is loving insane. Looks like it needs a vagan dagger, enough elreon jewelry to cover cyclone's cost, and a 5 link voll's protector.

This is pretty bullshit if they are completely removing the interaction with poison and CA/ED DoTs. This was a unique and thematically awesome way to play the game. Turning CA into a single target focused skill is actually interesting, because focusing on the single target damage was detrimental to the area damage. Also it was super awesome playing as a shadowy assassin who injected victims with a poison that exploded out onto others.
It also wasn't overpowered of an interaction. Yeah the single target was fast, but in vast majority cases that came as a downgrade to aoe clear speed without significant investment into gear.

I'm currently levelling an ED char, linked to poison. I don't quite understand the change. Do I now unlink Poison straight away and just go for the basic links? No point in picking Fatal Toxin talent either? Or is it all not that bad?

Hi guys,

I found a lightning coil some days ago on hc talisman and was hoping to sell it for the big bux.
However the price for a non linked coil seems to be fixed at 5 ex, while I saw coils go for 12+ ex last league.
Will these prices change further in the season?
If they stay at 5ex I thought I might as well craft and use it since its perfect for my build anyway..

Previously what was happening was that Poison was calculating its damage as 10% of both your hit damage and any chaos damage over time you were doing. It should now does only scale off hit damage.

That made it way more powerful than it should have been with skills like Essence Drain that have built in chaos degen.

This doesn't mean poison is necessarily useless on ED though, because ED still has the stat that lets DOT effects it applies (including poison) scale off your spell damage.

So poison on ED first applies as 10% of your hit damage (which is already scaled by spell damage) then your spell damage modifiers apply again to that 10%, as well as applying to ED's built in degen.

I'm not playing ED at the moment so I don't know what the DPS change is practically, but casters should still get better poisons off Essence Drain than off other skills.

This is basically my first time playing PoE and I'm up to low tier mapping on HC tali. I was wondering, with my resists capped, is there a point in having extra resists past the cap? Just doing a normal fire totem build.

I ask because I've been using this ring I found:



and it seems to be worth more than the rest of my gear combined, several times over. So if I don't need all them resists I might as well sell that and upgrade everything else.

So this is what I'm currently thinking for my clawbreaker build. Yeah, it goes out to 122 points but that's mostly filler damage at the end, you get all the critical stuff first obviously. Start as Ranger (though Shadow also works) and focus on dodge/evasion and claw/crit stuff. Single would be frenzy/FA/melee phys/poison. Group would be whatever, probably cyclone. I'm going to run with Darkrays and a Hyrri's Ire, so I should have 64% dodge. 125% extra defenses from shields tossed on with a really high evasion shield and I should, in theory, be mostly okay. 170%-ish life for when I am not okay. Resist nodes are in there because of all the uniques.

That sure is a ring. There are both curses and map mods that can reduce resistances, so that's one reason to overcap. Something like that ring can also give you a ton of leeway in your other gear though, allowing you to fit an extra unique in or using a rare that's otherwise great but maybe a bit light on resists for its slot.

I dunno, personally I'd almost definitely keep it, it's probably irreplaceable in a temp league, but I guess it depends on the state of the rest of your gear and what your currency situation is.

Yea, Elemental Weakness map mod is a reason to overcap, so you can run maps with the mod considering it gives a great +14% pack size.

Ah alright. If extra res has utility i'll keep it.

The rest of my gear is basically garbage (maybe 5c all together) and i have another 5c in stash. I don't have too much time to play so converting currency is a bitch - the poe.trade online currency traders all give terrible deals. Still i've been doing easy maps alright and that's fun enough for now.

For the dude who asked about Oro's Flicker:

Marauder version

Templar version

Here's a Ranger version

Marauder is probably best overall, more life. Ranger version trades a bit of life, 10% ignite chance and some elemental damage for 2 more frenzy charges and Vaal Pact, which is kind of cool for not dying instantly to ele reflect.

The 2H damage nodes near duelist are because you use a Fireborn jewel there to turn all of them into fire damage.
