everyone remember that 'TheRat' was the one who bitched incessantly about how those filthy casuals were 'getting items they should never be able to get' in perandus league, and then quit because of the same reason. lmao.

Remember when you were known as famous terrible poster "inventor of trees", denied it and posted on both accounts in the last thread to make it look like you weren't both of them:

Kild posted:

But you're already in the goon guild InventorofTreez :confused:

You are a weird freak. I haven't been in the goon guild since pre-atziri patch. Enjoy your witch hunt, I guess?

I would post my account name as proof, but I'm not going to for the aforementioned reasons (and because you seem to be mentally unstable).

Why is reddit obsessed with slowing down clear speed, as if taking 5 hits to kill a mob makes things more skillful? The amount of "veterans" who haven't got an apex full clear whining about how easy the game has gotten is absurd.

The path of exile subreddit is an echo chamber filled with bitter gitgud poopsockers who say ridiculous things like having a shav's drop isn't exciting because it's "only worth 2 exalts instead of 20+ like it used to be." They are so far out of touch with the typical gameplay of the average player it is insane. Just look at all the armchair game designer posts that use the buzzphrase "the clearspeed meta," as if every player is running around with a voltaxic build.

I've never understood what the gently caress people even mean by 'clearspeed meta'. Like, are we supposed to transition into a 'meta' where people don't care about clearspeed or something?

they probably mean the ultimate limiting factor for gains/hour is clearspeed, which will always be true unless you want to balance mob damage/defense around the players with the very best gear.

Voltaxic LA is still going to be super-fast, you'll just have to do at least a little bit to deal with reflect. If you dont want to deal with reflect at all, bladefall traps will still be a thing unless they do something else to fundamentally nerf those. There's also a bunch of different coc builds that might be getting various nerfs related to ascendancy, but considering they were really good before ascendancy they will still be really good in 2.3

Huh, the recipe for Star of Wraeclast got found: Ruby Ring (unique) + Onyx Amulet (any) + Lightning Warp (Level 20, Corrupted and non-Vaal)

I mean, it makes sense that an item granting a level 20 skill requires a level 20 skill gem to make, but I think I'll pass.

I'm trying to think up a build that focusses on on projectile damage in a CoC setup with quill rain and drillneck.

Barrage - CoC - pierce - spark - Etherial Knives - increased crit

End build should looks soemthing close like This. Having about +200% HP, acrobatics and around 300% proj dmg with drillneck.

My biggest concern is crit capping quill rain without assasin ascendancy.

But just pretend I would be able to get near crit cap, is this still a bad build?

Why chain when you have Drillneck + powerful precision and thus need to max pierce? Grab endless munitions instead. The dirty secret about quill coc is that you need an absurd amount of accuracy to not get stuck in yellow maps. You're almost certainly going to need to drop some damage and life nodes to get your crit up. My assassin couldn't get max crit less than 7 power charges with the increased crits gem. I usually end up with low 80s without it.

If my figures are right you need something like 1400% increased crit to cap quill with just the gem.
