I entered Standard to consolidate all of my currency into its stash tab once I bought one.

Probably the last time I enter Standard.

Speaking of MTX, did everyone get all of theirs from this league? I just checked (online) and I got the footprints...and nothing else. I got 30 challenges, so I should have a weapon too.

Every once in a while I get bored and end up clearing out like 5 or 10 remove only tabs in standard until I come to my senses. Periodically I use it to try and test new builds, but it's a pain.

Do you have a 2nd MTX tab? Could it be on a character already?

Did you try using the MTX finder to check if it exists on any items?

The items were handed out instantly on hitting the various challenge thresholds, not at end of league.

I'm seeing a lot of people raving about how good slayer earthquake is going to be but haven't really seen many builds posted for it. I slapped together this poo poo in a hurry, but I've only briefly tried earthquake in general. Do I go hatred with herald of ash? Or do I do blasphemy something? How about brutal fervour versus impact? I don't really know how to evaluate any of these leech nodes in general. Also despite a 50% physical reflect reduction I'm still concerned about reflect, especially going the hatred/hoa route.

Boss, if they make us find seven lost crystals, I'm quitting.

New flask revealed.



Looks pretty sick for non-Pathfinders to have some major flask uptime, but at the same time...use this as a Pathfinder anyway to keep the new Kiara's Determination up as much as possible? Then you're immune to almost everything (Pathfinder gets free staunching, Kiara's gives curse/freeze/chill/stun) AND have a source of Onslaught. Path can get immune to status ailments with Master Alchemist, but if you're not doing elemental damage that node is a lot less attractive compared to Master Herbalist.

Looking for judgements on a build; Siege Ballista with full physical to elemental conversion from a Physical to Lightning support and the Blackgleam quiver, passives stretching from the Templar totem/elemental nodes through the Scion life wheel down to the Ranger and Duelist nodes, as well as the elemental penetration for weapons from Forces of Nature.

Which ascendancy should I go with? The build could start as a Templar, Scion, Duelist or Ranger with no trouble. Pathfinder Ranger can get 10% elemental penetration and flask nodes, and Inquisitor can get +2 maximum totems (with a penalty). A Scion can get regen and damage from Chieftain, and the second big node could be Deadeye for an additional projectile and some damage, or Elementalist for 5% elemental penetration, some damage, and 4% reduced elemental damage taken. Thoughts?

panda clue
May 23, 2014

panda clue posted:

changed my mind about what I'm going to be doing since the new Jugg node just seems too absurd to pass up. Self cast discharge with 91% chance to ignite it is:

https://www.pathofexile.com/passive...-tSU2r6PV-X9A==

Main links: discharge -> controlled destruction -> fire pen -> chance to ignite -> conc effect -> empower (aoe should be fine with conc effect since I get 35% increased aoe from the tree)
ignite chance will be 91% (20% from tree, 14% from flammbility, 49% from gem, 8% from boot enchant).

Will use double doryani for that sweet, sweet double dipping for the burns via the elemental damage, with blasphemy warlords mark/flammability. Swap to purity of fire and rise of the phoenix for reflect maps. I'll level an Elemental Focus to swap in on maps that have high ignite resist. Will probably also use two Kaom's Signs, and a Kingsguard until I find an A+ rare armor chest. 10 endurance charges with the belt corruption :getin:

Anything that doesn't die straight out from the initial discharge should die from the burn.

edit: oh hey I can just use the doryani belt for 100% chance to ignite, so I'll probably do that too.

tweaked this build a bit to be lower level requirement and slightly more optimized, for anyone that was looking at doing self-cast discharge with jugg.

build: https://www.pathofexile.com/passive...G0ZCPTAVLzqakM=
gems: http://poecraft.com/%20gemplanner#v11.1-1a2R.=A112S.2I=b0e0W.0b2M1S2K2S==.1O1W=g2U.2z2O2M1S.==.==.==

My eventual 6th link I'd leave blue and swap around rarity/conc effect/prolif depending on how I was feeling and what I was doing.

Also, I did some testing, and with all of the aoe nodes and increased aoe gem, discharge hits about 2/3 of the viewable screen. gonna own.

Question about poison double dipping: if I have Bladefall linked to spell totem and concentrated effect, and 130% increased totem damage plus 30% increased area damage from the tree, does that mean linking poison as the fourth gem and taking 3 skill duration passives will multply damage output by 2.4? Poison is 20% of the hit base, then 160% increased from tree plus 40% on the gem all double dips so the poison is now 60% of the hit. Then conc effect double dips a 60% more so its now 96% of the hit. Then finally 45% skill duration multiplies that by 1.45 to about 140%. So I'm doing 140% more damage. The math seems right but it doesn't seem plausible for one gem to grant 140% more, most are like 40-50% at best.

Poison scaling is OP so without doing the math myself that sounds about right. Although I beleive that the "x% less totem damage" on the spell totem gem will also double dip in the poison damage, so you will have some sort of less damage multiplier in there as well (to be clear, I have no data on this, I am just assuming based on general expectations).

As opposed to a mine build which has an extra more multiplier instead of a less multiplier and proceeds to 1 shot various end game bosses with ease.

New plan: Quill Rain Blast Rain CoC with Bladefall + EK + Poison.

Keep corrupting cheap quill rains until I get +1 power charges, then Assassin can cap crit with about 50% on gear.

The main problem is that EK and Bladefall benefit from completely different nodes and jewels (that double-dip i.e. projectile or area damage). EK is better single target and Bladefall for trash clearing I take it?

That sounds about right yes, double-dipping poison is completely busted. Get temporal chains to extend it more while gaining large amounts of survivability!

e: MannersPlease is right, the spell totem gem's less damage modifier will need to be combined with the conc effect so it's 60% * 0.69 * 1.6 = 66% of the hit, which with duration comes to 96%. Still way higher than any other gem, and also shows how busted mines/traps are for single target.

Vulnerability would also benefit, since you'd double dip on both the increased physical damage taken (which bumps how big the Poison "hit" is) and increased DoT taken.

I went duelist -> champion on my Iron Commander and used this build for the second half of PHC and got to 90. I thought it was pretty good. Deadeye ranger would work well as well, but i wanted to be tankier.

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1626895


Granted Iron Commander is a bit different than just using Siege Ballista. I'm not really sure how good non commander Ballista actually is. You would need a pretty good phys bow to do all the conversion with.
