DemonMage posted:Yes on the Flame Totem, dunno about RF. Slo-Tek posted:RF totem is a lot better. Kills tons faster. Not quite as fire-and-forget on positioning, but dual RF totem and a beam totem, with rapid decay/elemental focus/extra burning melts the poo poo out of everything more or less instantly, and needs no equipment. Wideswing is a nice pseudo-5link you can get for a song that will hold you for quite a while, and it is perfectly playable in merciless with a Tabula. Cool, thanks. I had seen that post you linked already, I just didn't know which one was more effective. My marauder is only like 26, so I wont have to change anything out, thankfully. Also, thanks for the wideswing tip.

Mortimer posted:Oh there's a difficult boss? Place totem, hide behind wall. The totems even taunt enemies once you get the second ascendency points. Merc Lab was easy at 70, and not terrible at the other difficulties because RF allows you to focus on dodging stuff. Just remember to click a totem near enemies once in a while. Does Chieftain's taunting totems node work with RF? I figured it didn't because the node says the taunt applies "on hit", and I thought RF was a degen like Searing Bond. I'm doing BM dual flame totems this league. I started out intending to switch to RF at some point, but I think I like flame totems too much.

Flesh Forge posted:Hey uh, the Witch Mistress of Sacrifice Ascendency perk looks kind of neat. "Your Offering skills also affect you." It's very broken and leads to probably the most broken max block builds of the current patch. So this is about what you should expect when they put Lab leaderboards into the game. Unless a totally different route is found I think the best possible time for this one is in the 5:40 range. Maybe faster Perandus kills could pull it down to like 5:20-5:30 since I don't know exactly how the mechanics work right now and can't exactly kill him faster with my current gear anyways. I guess warning to mute so you don't have to listen to either me or my music.

Tabletops posted:also anyone interested in currency swapping between sc/hc? I wanna make a witch/caster (first time) on SC but I also want to have a smooth ride and start with a lifesprig and some other leveling gear. Couldn't you just make the witch in HC, grab the currency you want from the stash, then go die?

Just a warning to people who plan on autocasting their bone offerings: putting them into a +2 minion gems helmet will push them above the threshold for CwDT setups. Don't waste a shitload of currency planning around this like I just did. Plan around the thing giving +35% block. Ugh, I could self-cast with faster casting and increased duration, but that's an ungodly pain in the rear end.

I selfcast Bone Offering because I like to have control over it, and it only takes a brief moment. My Desecration is in a low level CODT link setup along with Immortal Call. Today's patch is adding a buff indicator to Flesh/Bone Offering if it's affecting you, which will make selfcasting it more convenient.

What's the consensus on the best builds for speed-running labs? Like if my goal is to create a character for only running the labs, no mapping or anything else, what should I be looking at? Is QotF viable, or is evasion so bad that I'll just RIP too much in the lab? Haven't played for like 6 months, so I'm a bit behind on all this stuff.

So RunnyCrits got offered a 2L tabula from Cadrio.  What? Edit: Also, it seems that a lot of the instance crashes + rollbacks were caused by played trying to craft items. Chris said they banned 6 dudes and should be fixed now. funmanguy fucked around with this message at 16:06 on Mar 10, 2016 |

ronya posted:well, if you need a lifesprig, I just put one in the SC guild stash Yeah, lifesprig should be easy. I've given three so far to various goons this league, so hopefully one of them can pass it along. I'm also 8/9 on hermit cards, so I'll probably have another to give away soon enough. Also thanks to another goon I've got hegemony's up and running now, I just need someone to bro deal me a cadiro lightning coil no hopefully that'll help on the defensive end. Reflect loving wrecks me hard right now, even with 5kish hp, decent leech, endurance charges, armor, granite and basalt flasks and cwdt immortal call all running. On the plus side, there's loads of room for improvement in virtually every other piece of gear I've got on  Edit: also funman were you not around for that tabula fun last night? I won't spoil it, but cadiro had nothing to do with it.

I saw/posted in your reddit thread about labyrinth (since I was struggling to do it with Voltaxic). On that note- finally cleared Merc Labyrinth to get my points, and of course I rolled +20% rear end Mark effect on my Rat's Nest. Soooo glad to hit a skill I use on the first go, since it took a ton of attempts for me to finish.

And clearly GGG thinks that bone offering is balanced! In comparison with some of the crazy amounts of DPS other ascendancies can put out, it arguable could still be balanced.

Looks like it's a Duelist Slayer with Overwhelm ("Always Stun Enemies That Are on Full Life"), using damage conversion to convert all physical damage to not-fire and Avatar of Fire to deal no not-fire damage to deal no damage period. vvv Ah, that's probably it. Couldn't quite figure out how to get all the damage conversion to work with the weapons he was holding. whypick1 fucked around with this message at 19:26 on Mar 10, 2016 |

Speaking of ED, since I got my increased AoE up, I don't understand why you wouldn't play ED with Contagion. I love dotting up one group, and having it chain with me to the next room to the next 2-3 packs. There's something so extremely satisfying about it that CoC discharge or EQ doesn't touch.

Rurutia posted:It works. They buffed the Pierce gem a lot in 2.2, it gives 30% more damage at level 20. Void Manipulation is only 40% more, so you can just use Pierce instead and for the cost of a 10% more multiplier you can just ED entire packs with one cast as it applies the dot to everything hit. The other thing about ED that I'm wondering is if the leech available from several Ascendancy classes actually works with damage over time. AFAIK no other source of leech up to this point works with damage over time, (the Life Leech gem certainly doesn't) but I'm wondering if stuff like Scion/Berserker actually does. It just says "damage."
