Stibnite is cool but bismuth is the cooler mineral. I would expect a Taste of Hate nerf besides the max reduction.

I could see a Surgeon's Quartz Flask of Reflexes becoming de rigueur, depending how much dodge they provide. Too little and they'll feel ineffective on their own. Too much and they'll make Acrobatics OP.

J posted:Easier to increase maximum resistance? Interesting, considering they've been removing it from the tree for a while now. I'm betting they want it to be locked into an ascendency thing, rather than be on the base tree.

There's that thing where when you complete the maze you're able to enchant one item with a special mod. I'm willing to bet "max resist" is one of those mods.

the exiles everywhere race today was not a void league, and I only noticed that because I now have a tabula in standard (which obvisouly was absolutely terrible in the race)

Pretty interesting 24 hour race starting friday. Solo only, malachai kill race, but with 20 strongboxes in each area, and "drifting areas of cold damage" which are presumably there to kill you while you're too busy sifting through your sweet stacks of strongbox loot.

The only really good unique from the race season is Whispering Ice at the 100 point tier. If you beat Malachai you get 100 points. 24 hours to beat normal Malachai in a race with no damage mods and 20 strongboxes in every zone. Then you don't have to race any more for the rest of the season.

Call of the brotherhood is pretty good but it's way up there. Definitely gonna give this a run to snag that whispering ice, though. Should be pretty easy to hit even if you careless rip a couple times. I'm guessing bladefall or something would be the simplest way to easy mode this? Specifically I'm concerned about malachai since he already shits ground effects and the wandering ice fields could be painful.

It's a hardcore race, and the last race of this "type" (not exactly the same ruleset admittedly) only 13 people actually completed it.

If you neglect the winterheart thing, shittons of people complete the boss kill races. If I can fit it into my work schedule I'll definitely give this one a go, I'd like an alt art Whispering Ice, but I'm too burnt out on poe to race regularly this season. edit: it's too bad it starts at like four in the loving morning on a weekday, I'll miss like the first 12-16 hours of it due to work and/or sleeping like a normal person.

The first one was a "blamt" race, which stands for blood magic, lethal (50% increased re monster damage, additional 50% as each element), ancient (totems everywhere), multiproj (4 extra projectiles), turbo (60% faster mob movement, cast and attack speed), which is why only 13 people finished it.

Basically we're suspecting that there's a catch with the cold damage drifts since the last 24hr race was so hard. Also, new uniques. https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1581354 That ring looks pretty good. Might not want to give up 2 ring slots, but running one slot will let you run a 50% and any two 35% or lower auras (2*35*1.4 = 98%) without any investment in reduced reservation.

Really depends on exactly what the icy areas turn out to be, but totems/firestorm trap are almost always a safe bet. Anything ranged will probably be safe as well, especially if the icy stuff moves around.

Elemental shrapnel shot ranger should allow you to pick up lots of health and still do simply grody amounts of damage. Just make sure to invest in some int so you can level auras.

Do you just alt bows until you get one with a healthier chunk of flat ele damage?

Yeah the usual standbys of totems or traps and firestorm should be good, simply because I'm expecting the arctic clouds to move around and you'll want skills that can do good damage while moving around yourself. Of course, maybe the gimmick is that the clouds are loving enormous and you're going to be taking damage from them constantly so you may want a build with more health sustaining capabilities, who knows.

I hope the clouds just freeze players solid while inside of them that would be funnier than gently caress.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's some sort of cold damage while in it, chilled while in it, enemies gain extra cold while inside, extra chance to be frozen etc, maybe the cold tempest effects.

How much do armor and evasion matter if you aren't stacking the hell out of them? I'm at ~1200 armor and ~1700 evasion doing maps with no real way to push them much higher. Is it worth giving up a good chunk of either to get more ES to make this dumb ZO/EB/MOM engine work better?

Is it worth giving up a good chunk of either to get more ES to make this dumb ZO/EB/MOM engine work better? If you aren't stacking them then armor can be useful in very niche situations (anything that deals a ton of really small hits, i.e. the machine gun ladies with their boobs out from Lunaris 2), and evasion will still average out to like ~10% damage reduction with 1700. More ES is gonna be better unless your ZO regen is enough to keep it capped when not fighting dangerous enemies.

I think the problem is more that my ES is low enough that it bottoms the gently caress out the moment anything actually threatening shows up, leaving me with some hp and nothing to do but hope I live long enough to get an enduring cry off. The specific scenario is https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/dis_astranagant/characters on my Templar, swapping out hat and blazon for a 120 ES 89 hp, 98 res hat and 40 ES, 30% WED belt. Neither are crafted, the hat has an open prefix and the belt has an open suffix.

Yeah I'd say go for 1.5k ES at the very least. My EB/MoM/ZO build had 1.8k ES and although it works great in most situations I really didn't like how it falls apart in situations where you need it the most (i.e. during big damage spikes against a tough rare or boss). EDIT: at 1k I might respec out of it even until you can get more ES quite frankly.

You just have to suck it up and drop some currency on gear with high ES. I see you are using Lightning Coil so you are really going to have to push ES with your shield/helm/gloves.

I have a 78 Bladefall witch with 3.6k ES. I'm getting into the 20c per upgrade range and it looks like filtering on ES just explodes the price.

It's more in demand. ES gear is used by standard ES builds, hybrid life/ES, low life, and CI.

If you want top end ES gear it's going to cost you a lot, but if you go for decent ES it isn't too bad in my experience.

Um, does that look like 100% mana reservation for flicker strike builds to you? Cause it looks like it to me. edit: Free flicker + 20% attack speed, if you're going oro you get the 60% increased recovery from ignites and +1 frenzy charges with 10% frenzy charge on kill.
