Can someone explain to me how the Hierophant Ascendancy class is supposed to work? I just don't get it. If you take Divine Guidance with MoM, you basically can't use the bonus because your mana pool needs to be 55% of your HP pool in order for you to actually be able to use the 10% conversion, and that's not realistic at all. If you don't take MoM, you get 10% damage reduction in exchange for not reserving your mana, which is also terrible. You can't do low life with MoM and Divine Guidance, because they don't apply to energy shield. Also, you can't go for Eldritch Battery, because that means all the mana and mana regeneration bonuses that Hierophant gives you are wasted. I can't come up with any kind of talent permutation that don't lead to about half the bonuses the class gives you being wasted.

You're looking at this in like terms where you're trying to make it ridiculously optimal. You don't need to plan for maximum damage reduction against an attack that deals all of your characters life, and you can reserve a good chunk of your mana and still have that 10% damage reduction doing work.

I am poopsock the poopsocker. The clear speed is really poor and it doesn't really have anything to do with my actual damage. I have -23 movespeed so moving around and looting is very awkward. RF Totems is way more awkward than I had thought. I didn't realize that they didn't start the RF immediately and they have to actually take a second to cast the skill after dropping the totem. It's basically impossible to catch ranged stragglers that actively run away from your totems when you drop them, and good luck with torment ghosts. To be honest I might keep the gear and reroll as a Caustic Arrow character, but that will depend on how far I can get in level with this one before leveling becomes too miserable.

I made a RF character following a build on the forums a little while ago and when I first switched to using RF at around 65 it felt horrible. My regen with RF on was negative, my fire resist wasn't that high, and I only had around 4-5k ES and was getting killed everywhere I go. I was almost regretting this character. After a dozen or so more levels, and slowly upgrading my gear I'm now up to 8k+ ES with 88% fire resistance (still need more levels) with positive life regeneration. This is the most fun I've had playing this game. You are like walking death and anything that comes near you gets melted into oblivion and you can just face tank everything as long as you hit your Vaal Discipline. Right now I'm just missing the skill points to get my third curse and upgrading my jewelry and belt to get some ES on them. That and more fire resistance so my regen is higher. I made some videos of how this character plays if anyone is interested. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nz_0DBUC4WQ - Atziri https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNvOfViRkrc - Crematorium map

I'm playing with the idea of Varunastra crit reave because it has considerably higher base damage than daggers. The 5% base crit is low but Assassin, the increased crit strike gem and efficient pathing should make it really good, but I haven't done the math yet. I suspect that, in theory, it should be better than crit dagger reave.

I'm re rolling occultist on HC right now as a CI tricurse bladefall poison miner. I'm having a hard time deciding on ascendancy points. Do I go for the +1 curse or take regen via vile bastion and just get +1 curse from gear. Here's my tree I've never played CI but this feels right I wish I could get the light radius notable but it feels like 3 wasted points for the qol

So I got a Mjolner, is it super expensive to get it working or is there a decent budget build for it? I'm mapping tier 6-8 so I have some decent income, but not like 10 ex or whatever. Looking for something fun to play on the side.

Rurutia posted:Are you including the 40% more modifier from being berserker? No, not counting more modifiers. Just strictly the increased damage total from passive nodes and jewels. To me Aspect of Carnage is like having another free melee phys in my 6 link. 5 frenzy charges is another 20% more. Conc effect. Melee Phys itself. Less Duration. And I'm going to experiment with Bloodlust, triggering 9+ second bleeds with puncture + increased duration.

I'm mapping tier 6-8 so I have some decent income, but not like 10 ex or whatever. Looking for something fun to play on the side. To get a actually strong build that can do high tier maps you will need a very high budget to buy a Voll's Devotion. If you check poe.trade Mjolner is pretty cheap now because it has not kept up with the times at all. I have posted it a couple times in this thread, but I heavily recommend people away from Mjolner unless they are 100% sure they want to do it. Between the nerf to Mjolner a few patches ago, the nerf to surgeons flask(for the crit version), and now the nerf to resist flasks, Mjolner has taken some huge hits to survivability lately. And it does far less damage than a CoC Discharge build does with similar budget. Also if you thought CoC builds crushed your computer, they are nothing compared to Mjolner.

The build I'm reading mentioned using ice spear or lightning orb... Does EO trigger even when you don't do damage? Does lightning orb still place lightning stacks when you aren't doing any damage? Or does lightning orb do damage with dual totems?

Played a bunch over the weekend. Switched over from SRS to Earthquake and having a lot more fun being up in the poo poo. Most of my friends have already waned in interest after setting foot in to maps but I'm still having a great time and I'll probably look for a guild invite when I get home tonight. I have a couple of questions though: 1. Should I be using a single target skill with an Earthquake build? I ran the Merc Labyrinth at 71 this morning and it went ok but I didn't feel like I was doing all that much damage to Izaro, or not as much as I would have liked. Whatever guide I was using from the forums has Vaal Ground Slam in the second big link on the chest but I feel like AoE clearing is just fine with EQ and I might be better off with Heavy Strike + Faster Attacks, etc? The loving knockback on Heavy Strike is super annoying but still might be better. 2. [softcore] what is a Perandus coin worth? Or I guess more usefully, what's a good ratio of coins : chaos? I've had several people ask if I take coins instead of Chaos based on stuff they found on poe.trade, but I've declined just because I don't have a good idea of what it's worth. Cadiro is sometimes a good guy selling me 3 chaos for 150 coins, but more often than not he's selling poo poo uniques worth less than an alch for over 1,000. Anyone been trading in coins? I feel like I have a stockpile of chaos to buy most of what I need and would happily accept coins so I've got enough to pay for something sweet if I find it.

Haerc posted:
Yes, Orb triggers EO. You also want to use Elemental Equilibrium, which does NOT work with Lightning Orb, so you have to use Ice Trap to trigger it. I run a 4L Orb of Storms - Increased AoE - Ice Trap - Increased Critical Strikes. And no, you can't just drop the Orb and use Ice Trap for EO, because Traps getting crits does not count as "you" getting a crit.

So, let's talk 4 links, those supporting skill slots. Trying to think of some decent links to use for a blade vortex necro with cybil paw, so far here is what I got. Weapon - Haste, Hatred, Enduring Cry Shield - Whirling Blade, Fortify, Faster attacks Boots - High level CWDT, Stone Golem, Bone offering, Increased duration. Gloves - Low level CWDT, Tempest Shield, Desecrate, Enfeeble For helm, I'm drawing a blank on what to fill in, what I think might work. Helm 1 - low CWDT - arctic breath - ball lightning - GMP, for large healing with cybil paw. Helm 2 - Curse on hit, Blade Vortex, Power charge on crit, Curse. like someone linked earlier, but I don't know how good power charges are if your using controlled destruction to lower your crit chance and aren't investing heavily in crits. Helm 3 - Bone offering, Faster Casting, increased duration, stone golem, as a alternate to the boot setup. What are some other common 4 link setups these days?

Icetrap is absolutely ridiculous. I was starting a character thinking about doing trap cold snap or ice nova but there's absolutely no reason to with how strong the new trap is. Running +100% freeze duration from jewels and my amulet, and permafreezing at least up to T10 map bosses like nothing runnin a no crit saboteur build. Hardcore never felt this easy. e: running a 5-link carcass jack. Blasphemy enfeeble + temp chains for more duration on freezes. I'm going to try to eventually get a frostbite in the mix but that'll require a +1 curses Rashkaldor corrupt, so that's a bit of a long term project.
