Ultima66 posted:HM: Vaal Spark: Was a very popular build, was completely dumped on by GGG "in nearly every possible way," is now total trash. Vaal spark is still good for murdering bosses, but it's probably about the same as vaal storm call now, unless you're in a tiny room or also have vaal glacial hammer. It's still probably pretty bad without Winds of Change or the other stuff you'd already have in a regular spark build.

Storm Call (regular flavor) is obscenely powerful in a crit inquisitor setup and has great clearing speed + boss murdering speed. Cheap as gently caress, too, since you can do life, hybrid, LL or CI with it and basically choose your own adventure with how expensive it is. Actually I guess take that back, crit inquisitor in general is amazing. I realized I have literally zero element specific damage nodes so you can run with whatever.

1) Assuming your friends are new to the game, voice comms so you can yell at them to hurry up. Oh, and decide ahead of time who is siding with what Bandit. whypick1 fucked around with this message at 05:31 on Mar 30, 2016 |

Also I've been leveling a trapper and the guide suggested running Fire Nova Mine/Minefield to boost the AOE of your traps with the ascendancy class, am I missing something or is manually laying mines every 16 seconds as annoying as it sounds?

If you're running a RT Cyclone Scion, you definitely should go for Champion as one of your ascendancies, because 10% chance to fortify on melee hit lets you get away with dropping the Fortify gem for something else with enough attack speed. Well, that's my input.

It's just as bad as it sounds. I only do it before a boss fight or opening a chest. 99% of the time you should have enough AoE that it doesn't really matter.

Would any one like to take a look at my character 'BloodyMez' and see if there is any glaring optimizations I may have missed? I hit 91 last and realized I am running out of skill points and still want many things. Mainly life. https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/Mezlat/characters I started the character with no real plan other then I wanted to play with Gladiator and Gratuitous Violence. Currently it has become an attempt at max aoe cyclone vacuum. Notable problems: Single Target Damage: My main cyclone tooltip w/ auras is 5,371. This is because of using the prismatic eclipse for weapon range offers poo poo base damage. To keep with the vacuum gimmick I don't have very good damage links - I mainly use Cyclone - Fortify - Blood Magic - Life Gain on Hit - Knock Back - Increase AoE. This works fine on clearing trash and most rares(thanks to Gratuitous Violence explosions) I've set up a weapon swap with better damage links in a Kaom's Primacy: Cyclone - Melee Phys - Bloodlust - Life Gain on Hit - Blood Magic. tooltip: 12,340. This is better but clunky. Since my main cyclone is in my chest, when I weapon swap the Cyclone skills don't replace each other and I'll end up using the weaker cyclone still since its on my right mouse. Low max life total: The skill tree planner shows me at 161% max life%, currently in gear at 4,949. I am unwilling to currently change my gloves and neck which offer no flat life. My current helm offers no life, and I'm not really sure if its even ideal in the build, up for recommendations. Otherwise, I've gone super greedy on AoE, and Bleed. I'm going to test dropping nodes from the Dirty Techniques wheel in hope of freeing up 9 points. I would also like to drop the Blood Letting wheel if I can apply bleeds well enough with Gratuitous Violence alone. Any thing I do free up here would be moved towards the scion life wheel. Finally, I've currently got 4 free skill points to spend. I think my options are picking up 2 jewel sockets (located: scion towards witch, and witch area) or pick up 2 strength nodes and drop into the scion wheel for Constitution. Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated!

I hit 91 last and realized I am running out of skill points and still want many things. Mainly life. Dual-wield Cyclone is fine but it is not ideal to use two Prismatic Eclipses (or even one). If you're going to dual-wield you should probably use rapiers and probably crit. Since that would be a massive change to your tree I'd instead recommend switching skills to cleave (if you really want to dual-wield), leaving the witch area and using those points to pick up damage and life in the Templar/Maruader area. You should see a massive increase in clear speed from having a large increase in damage over your massive AoE. Cyclone isn't linked to a single damage gem and your ideal 6-link should have almost entirely damage links. I don't understand the desire to use Empire's Grasp knockback, what is it offering you over a pair of gloves with life/attack speed/flat phys? Devoto's Devotion is a fantastic Cyclone helmet and probably your only actual DPS increase. Basically you've got a Dual-Wield Cyclone build and no nodes or gear or gems to scale any of that damage.

2 prismatic eclipses with all white sockets is an awesome gimmick Cyclone build  And Cyclone tool tip dps is misleading like most tool tip dps in this game. But yes 6k does seem low.

There is a valid DW white socket Prismatic Eclipse build that a few people have done before. It is not a viable physical build because Prismatic Eclipse is an ungodly awful phys weapon. If you want to make the build do reasonable damage, remove all your physical damage nodes for elemental/elemental damage with weapons nodes, use some combination of Wrath/Anger/Herald of Thunder/Herald of Ice as auras, and find room for a WED gem and get WED jewelry/belt. I don't feel confident that it's possible to make Gratuitous Violence's bleed do particularly good damage while keeping the Prismatic Eclipses, but it can still be useful for the vacuum + explode. On the other hand, Champion probably fits the build better since it frees up a gem link and gives you a large amount of movement speed. Here is a rough estimate of where I'd go with your build, still keeping Gladiator. It has 240% or so increased damage, which is a bit low, and only 2 jewel sockets. The life is also quite a bit higher than necessary, at over 240%. Initial thoughts after looking at an analysis say that it's probably worth dropping some life for Celestial Punishment and Celestial Judgement, picking up the jewel socket next to those, and trying to get 3 +30% damage jewels, which would probably put you at a pretty comfortable amount of damage. Links would be Cyclone/WED/Fortify/Blood Magic/Increased AoE/Knockback. You should not need LGoH with those leech nodes, and if you Blood Magic all your skills, you honestly can just use both Anger and Wrath for maximizing flat elemental damage. If you were to play the same build as Champion, you would drop Fortify for Added Lightning Damage, which would give you more damage and movespeed, but causes you to lose out on the bleeding enemies exploding.

I have a 5l Hezmana Cyclone setup that shows up as 35k, and a 4l Marohi with Earthquake that barely trips 10k. I'm sorta using EQ for clearing trash & cyclone for single-target, but I'm sure I'm doing something wrong.

don't use tooltip dps for anything other than comparing yourself to someone doing literally the exact same build. that is about how useful it is. my fastest clearing build this league has 5k tooltip dps, and I could clear something like gorge in 3 minutes flat.

I don't think half of you even realized what he was trying to do. Most of the clear speed comes from making everything bleed and dragging it along until one thing dies, and then explosions from the ascendancy start chaining through. Having watched him play it in game, it actually works fairly well for what it is.

StashAugustine posted:What stats should I be looking for on jewels or weapons to save/sell? Jewels: max life on anything sells well, then it depends on the build. For example, SWT builds would go for increased aoe, crit chance (if crit), increased cast speed. In general though, max life is always wanted, attack/cast speed (both the generic and versions that require a particular weapon type), increased damage, crit chance etc. Minion damage and resists are popular too if you're doing something like an SRS build. Increased trap or mine damage would also be popular i'd say this league with how popular ice trap is. For example, with EQ being so big currently, a jewel with max life, increased mace physical damage, increased aoe damage, increased melee damage would sell for exalts. If a mod is more specific, it'll have higher possible values - phys damage with maces can roll 14%-16% while increased damage can only roll 8%-10%.

StashAugustine posted:What stats should I be looking for on jewels or weapons to save/sell? Caster weapons (wands, daggers): Bunches of spell damage combined with cast speed, crit and/or damage added to spells. Staves: +2 gems in a 5-link, or +3 gems. Attack weapons are complicated. In general, very few rare weapons sell for much, since uniques with high damage rolls and additional bonuses are so plentiful. Phys weapons need a massive +% phys roll combined with flat phys. Ele weapons need top tier ele damage rolls and attack speed. 2-handers also need sockets/links. There may be some odd exceptions to the above which will be super valuable to certain builds.

Any EK gurus can recommend out of these two builds which would be more viable for a returning (poor) player? I liked my old EK build but it seems to have been made redundant with all the changes. http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1317901 http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1610530 If there's something better kicking around that isn't EK for a witch, I'm happy to try something new. The AE style nuking appeals to me.
