Not really sure what to get next past level 84. I'll be skipping chaos/fire passives till I have 2 daggers/pyre but just curious of what to spend points on now being relatively new still. Wondering whether to go +1 frenzy or passive for bandits too.

lmao other people have the same idea on the auto-max endurance charge generation

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1666930

wonder how 8ec + 4fc discharge (of which the latter might not be up 100% of the time) + pyre ring compares with 11ec self-cast discharge

uhhhhahhhhohahhh
Oct 9, 2012
My RF IW Discharger had 7 endurance and 4 frenzy charges using Pyre and it was fine. Blood Rage felt better for getting charges than the warlords blasphemy I was using anyway. Was doing well over 10k damage discharges with just RF going, a 4 link, no iron will, no damage from tree, poo poo gear and faster casting socketed.

If I was going to do it again I would think about dropping RF because it messed with the flow a bit - it would burn mobs down and mess with my charge generation and I was one hitting packs with it anyway. Going Dresses Defiance and Acrobatics for charges instead of Warlords Mark Blasphemy felt better in the brief time I tested it also

Challenges I do not like:
200 shrines (I actually am not sure how many shrines I run into, could be fine - the rest of this challenge looks OK)
Endgame grind (Ambrius at 0.5ex a pop ~ 10 ex, less if twinned, but that takes rolling, Atziri at 8c a pop ~ 13ex, and those prices will be higher due to demand)
Maps from bosses (20% = 1500 maps needed)

Never was getting 40 anyway, so that leaves slack for 1.

Hmm...also depending on how much Atziri is in demand, might make it worth farming fragments.

Atziri runs are amazingly easy though. I routinely have 5-6 sets just from random things and another 5-6 sets worth sans midnights. Just pop those into the map device and end up turning half those into full sets. If you dedicate yourself to getting them it's not that bad.

Now, can I kill Atziri 100 times in a league without wanting to kill myself, that's a question I don't know.

Talisman was the first time I killed her. Late talisman. Once you learn her mechanics it's easy to break any build into one of three: this build can kill her easily / this build can do it if you're good / this build is laughably bad at her.

I don't bother unless it's a sure thing, because I too am bad at the game.

Once you've done it a few times it becomes pretty straightforward.

I haven't played in weeks/months or paid any attention to patch notes, so I'm trying to figure out what I'll be running come Friday. Juggernaut looks pretty sweet now. I did coclone and crit staff EQ last league as well as crit inquisitor stormcall, but I might find a variant that's different enough to hold my attention. I was thinking about juggernaut trypanon until I realized it was league-specific. The new sword might be okay though.

I've still never played a trapper to maps, but I also found the play style kind of tedious the bit I have played. Also haven't done spark since beta, but the chaos conversion nerf hit both of those.

I was planning on doing non crit no chaos ice trap. Hopefully this doesn't make cluster trap be horrible.

quote:

Fixed a bug where Cluster Trap and Minefield were only reducing trap or mine damage respectively when they should have been reducing all damage.

May try and redo SRS as well since the necro changes are just loving stupid and no more awful perandus mobs killing your minions super fast.

Clarity + haste + Hatred = free 15% attack and cast speed, a level 10 purity elements, and 30% damage from Commander of Darkness. Plus vaal skills if I can fit them in.

Yea that's a good point. I might also the elemental pierce too in the same area till I get chaos and drop those points and add it to Fangs of the Viper etc

Taking melding too for more life. Missed those life passives and they are pretty close.

Does anyone know if the INT node in front of Light of Divinity is within the threshold jewel radius (medium radius) of the nearby jewel slot? While skilltree planners show the radii, the medium radius goes right through that node and I can't tell for sure if it's included or not. POEPlanner lights the node up if it's within any of the radii so that's no help. Specifically, I'm trying to figure out if Spirited Response in the Templar jewel spot will be active with this build.

whypick1
Dec 18, 2009

Just another jackass on the Internet
When you mouseover the jewel socket it shows the radii and highlights the nodes within those radii with differing intensity to indicate whether it's in the Small/Medium/Large radius (in descending intensity).

That INT node is the faintest, so it's not in the Medium radius. Compare that node to the three Mace nodes that are in the Medium radius and Amplify, which is in the Large radius.

edit: if that node were like 2 pixels to the left I'd imagine it would be in the Medium radius. Ain't that a kick in the pants?

Hey, RE: the new unique jewels, the armor one lets you wear no armor on gear and have more armor than you can possibly get on gear for an Aegis Aurora build. Here's a thing:

https://www.pathofexile.com/passive...BjvfO_r-AL56P4K

10 Jewel sockets so you will get 7500 flat armor from your jewels. 78/78 block with Aegis Aurora + Advancing Fortress + Anvil, and with 7500 flat armor from jewels you can avoid wearing any dedicated armor on your gear to hit 12000 (65% defenses from shield so Aegis will give around 600, ~50% increased armor on tree so over 12000 from jewels and Shield alone). Wearing good pure ES gear, you should be able to hit around 8000 ES with Discipline. The tree gets all the skill duration nodes, so you can use Blade Vortex - Increased AoE/Conc Effect - Spell Echo - Increased Duration - Controlled Destruction - Wildcard as your main 6-link. Increased Duration Vaal Clarity should be sustainable 100% of the time with the duration nodes, and you'll have Fortify with Whirling Blades (which will also cause bleed). Discipline + Hatred will probably be your auras, though Determination or Blasphemy are also solid (though realistically you can just use a Curse on Hit BV setup). I believe that you get around 30000-35000 armor with a Granite flask up without Determination, or over 50k with Determination.

I'm really not sure how severe of a lack of damage this build has. It definitely relies a bit on going crazy with the 8% increased phys damage for each hit blocked recently node. You can definitely drop 1-2 Jewel sockets (9 Jewel sockets is 6000 armor, 8 is 4800) to get Alchemist or Ghost Reaver (if your Wildcard is Life Leech).

Do y'all think doing a southpaw reave build as Juggernaut would be better than doing it as Raider? I'm trying to figure out just how much attack speed you can get out of the 1% / 100 accuracy thing but I'm a bit too dumb to really figure it out.

What does southpaw refer to in PoE? I've never figured that out. Presumably something to do with offhanding?

I think around 50-60% increased attack speed is feasible without gimping other important stats. On my EQ guy with the gear/passive setup I have planned I should have 6000-6100 accuracy depending on gear rolls.

When you wear 2 different 1h weapons, and only one of them is actually compatible with the main attack you use. Therefore you get all the benefits of the non-attacking weapon without ever having to swing it (because it's usually a low damage unique with some cool bonus stats on it).

It's Southpaw because due to some glitches and bonuses that apply specifically to your offhand weapon it's usually better to put the stat stick in the main hand and the attacking weapon in your off hand.

equip a weapon in offhand that can't use your skill, so you have dual wielding and only need one solid weapon for good dps

I think the only scenarios where this matters is when you take the ambidexterity notable (a massive +20% attack speed bonus for your off-hand), and when using brightbeak's massive +50% global attack speed for super fast leap slamming.

However, this has fallen out of favour after they nerfed leap slam distance and buffed whirling blades speed (also whirling blades no longer desyncs like crazy). These days, I don't think there's really a reason to put your primary weapon on your offhand.

(I think I was the one who originally suggested swapping the weapon hands to ZiggyD, but that was only for the purpose of brightbeak leap slamming)

It's because there was (is?) a glitch related to how skills work with Dual Wielding. Attacks that only use 1 weapon used the attack speed of whatever your main hand weapon is, regardless of what weapon you were swinging with. This is a big deal because Soul Taker has 1.88 APS, Death's Hand has 1.5 APS, and several of the dagger bases people use are much slower.

Suppose you're using a 110-350 damage range Demon Dagger with 9% crit chance but no attack speed roll. The average damage on it is 230, and it's a 276 DPS dagger, which is decent but not great. If you use that Demon Dagger in your offhand while using a Soul Taker in the main hand, you Reave while the game thinks you have 1.88 attacks per second on your weapon, meaning the actual DPS of your dagger is 432 (on a 9% crit base), which if you wanted to buy a dagger that good you would literally have to spend multiple Mirrors. I don't KNOW if this bug has been fixed, but I assume it has been, though I never actually heard any confirmation that the bug was fixed or not fixed.
