is Assassin the "I have 100 ex to spend on gear and now I'm god" spec or is it more like 1-100 busted as hell I haven't played PoE seriously since that league with surprise boxes and I am thinking of either scion bow+summons or gladiator duelist and I can't think of which might be better for longer The worst thing I can think of happening to me is picking a build that is great early but stops being good at early maps

Monster resistance above the 75% cap doesn't matter for the purposes of elemental penetration. Penetration is calculated at the point of damage after resistances have been calculated up to the cap. So 75% elemental penetration will reduce a monster's resistances from 75 to 0 whether that monster has 75% total resistances or 150% total resistances.

I've only ever seen the other calculation. edit Oh I see. So it's pretty much just a replacement for curse reduction which does calculate from actual resistance value. Also good if you care about curse immune. Rurutia fucked around with this message at 19:54 on Mar 3, 2016 |

Mortimer posted:is Assassin the "I have 100 ex to spend on gear and now I'm god" spec or is it more like 1-100 busted as hell Assassin makes crit builds much easier to gear for and accessible than ever before so you should be fine going with that. Melee builds are a lot better and tankier due to a number of changes since last you played, most importantly the Fortify gem which gives a 20% reduction against all damage types. Going Earthquake/Sunder 2H RT Marauder Berserker is cheap and effective. Most caster builds are easy, cheap and strong as well, like Firestorm self cast. Going non-crit caster appears to be a viable and strong choice as of Ascendancy due to a number of changes and ascendancies that go well with that like Witch's Elementalist. Chaos damage causes Poison and is stackable now and very strong. Last league had insanely powerful Fire to Chaos conversion builds due to the synergy of Bino's and The Consuming Dark uniques which has been rightfully nerfed but it should still be strong.

on standard 40ex is enough to get you a crazy amount of good stuff but not even sort of kind of enough to get you the really crazy items basically anything on standard that isn't a god tier item is pretty cheap, and the god tier items are "i hope you have 300ex and a mirror"

I think I've got some 997%s at least. I probably half at least half a dozen legacy facebreakers, although I don't think the other rolls are nearly as good. Anyway no one gives a poo poo about standard.

Standard owns because I have lots of old item quant gear that is worth beaucoup bux because some sperg wants an extra 4% on his perandus blazon belt Having old busted legacy items is a neat novelty though, I'll never get rid of my 120% spell block saffell's frame or my 18/18/18 bringer of rain

Vorenus posted:Is this tree good for such a build? Simply put, no. This build is worth following from what I can tell for a cheap beginner build if you want to go spark all the way. Note that it's based on the previous patch, where generally you wanted to go crit with spells, but non-crit is much better now than it was before and Orb of Storms makes Spark a lot better as well. That's why the author says it's not as good at high level mapping, it should be much better now. Just pick Witch Elementalist and get the elemental conflux node, the rest is up to you. You could also go Arc (check the official class forums for good, if temporarily outdated builds) or most other spell based builds and be able to level up great with Spark + Orb of Storms. Arc might be better at high levels but it's hard to tell with all the changes at the start of a league. Path of Exile builds can go in a million different directions and everyone has their own preferences, so you generally won't find an 'optimal' build. It's best to check multiple builds, ask some questions in this thread or in guild chat and the rest you have to learn with experience.

Vorenus posted:Is this tree good for such a build? You mean a spark build for endgame? If you wanna go scion I'd definitely do noncrit, you need to stack too many other weird stats(duration, pierce, proj speed). I'd probably go up to elemental overload with the other duration nodes, something like this https://www.pathofexile.com/passive...psj9p2qUuzVpk2S. You could also go crit with inquisitor or assassin, but at that point arc is probably better.

If you go Scion definitely take the Deadeye ascendancy. A second good ascendancy is probably Berserker for the free leech and extra damage.

If you're just looking at levelling with spark and orb (or flame totem and fire trap/firestorm trap) rather than playing them at end game, then you should just build your actual passive tree instead. That's the point of these "easy levelling" skills, they scale well with minimal/no passive investment and minimal gear reqs. If you're really looking to level fast though, your passive tree shouldn't have any life in it until cruel at a minimum and it should be all damage all the time until then (spell damage over cast speed, ele damage nodes like the fire or lightning nodes near witch start etc.) with you using the free respec points later on to move out of them.

It's not just Facebreakers for standard legacy items. Facebreakers I would argue is actually not one of the more important ones, only giving around a 25% damage boost over non-legacy ones. I listed them earlier but the important ones IMO are: Aegis Aurora: literally works twice as well as current Aegis, where the difference between balancing damage taken and damage healed with it and not is "I am completely immortal" or "I am kind of tanky." Bringer of Rain: 9% block is really huge if you're getting towards max block, lvl 18 blind is huge for making enemies a lot less threatening than lvl 6 blind. Kaom's Heart: Legacy Kaom's gives like 1500 more life and is considered by a lot of people to be the best unique in the game. Current Kaom's is one of the better chest armors but is always a thing to consider, not a mandatory item. Mjolner: Legacy one casts 66% more spells than current Mjolner, outputting about 66% more damage (depends a bit on how many charges you are generating for Discharge, but it is 66% more damage with all other spells). Saffell's Frame: Like BoR, the difference between 65% spell block and 75% spell block is very big. Also +1% max resist is very big when you're getting to over 90% with potions. Soul Taker: Legacy Soul Taker is about as good as 1h axes get for DPS, current ST is really bad for pure base DPS. But this one is probably similar to Facebreaker for damage difference. For the most part other legacies don't dramatically change how good the item is or are buffs.

Welp, time to jump back in tomorrow or Saturday. There a decent leveling spec for this league (not really interested in the spark one)? I'm thinking I might just do RT Cyclone or Earthquake to get myself started. Also laughing it up at the patch notes nerfing the poo poo out of Talisman's Most Wanted.

10bux posted:Sorry, I shouldn't have even mentioned Kongor's, it's just what I was first looking at when I thought of the Synergy. Obviously a spell that is already 100% elemental, and cannot miss, is going to be better than something you'll have to convert. You only get that huge elemental penetration as Inquisitor if you crit. If you have ~20% crit chance, that is only a fraction of your attacks. If you invest passives in crit chance, it would get much higher, but then your crit multi nodes would be wasted. Basically, you have the options of: 1) Going Inquisitor, investing alot of passives into crit chance and multiplier, and ignoring elemental overload and Kongors (maybe go crit staff or sceptre or sword) or 2) Choosing a different melee class, invest a tiny amount into crit chance (Disemboweling and Galvanic Hammer notables gets you up to ~21% crit chance on Kongor's), get Kongors and a single elemental attack and elemental overload and focus, and rely on the occasional "crit" to refresh your onslaught and elemental overload. I'd use something like Static Strike, link multistrike, melee physical, physical to lightning, weapon elemental damage, and lightning penetration. If you can get a Vinktar's and a 6 link, then add elemental focus.

I've settled on trying a ranged crit Puncture build, stacking lots of projectile damage and generic physical damage to get twice as much scaling from both the initial hit and the bleed. Being able to take both the Deadeye and Assassin nodes in the Scion ascendancy tree looks to be massively effective for it. What are some good spells for a Cast When Damage Taken + Curse on Hit link for a ranged character?

Use a low level Firestorm/ice nova with a high level Curse on Hit and high level Curse. You can also use Frenzy + gmp + curse on hit + vulnerability (for more damage over time) or temp chains (to make your bleeds last longer) as an offensive curse.
