Elementalist gives you some reflect protection and 0% damage penalty Elemental Proliferation for free. Deadeye gives you a bigger blast radius and a free projectile. There was even a Juggernaut one posted here a page or two ago.

I never got around to screwing with the new phys damage spells, so I wanted to try one out of the gate in the upcoming leagues. Given how often it comes up in build discussions, bladefall sounds way too strong and the mechanics don't seem too interesting anyway. Blade vortex on the other hand is pretty unique. I'm strongly leaning toward a blade vortex pathfinder for the huge defense potential in hardcore, specifically with this setup here -110% skill duration gives big double dipping potential for vaal auras, poison, smoke mine, probably something else I'm forgetting -50%+ crit rate after gear and charges means ~5 flask charges per second per target while maxed out at 50 blades. That's pretty much permanent flask uptime even against a single boss -permanent flask uptime means permanent poison, which frees up a socket -pretty good amount of life and evasion with IR, keeping in mind constant life/jade/basalt spam YoungSexualNorton fucked around with this message at 20:03 on Aug 23, 2016 |

California fan meetup was told that it's probably getting some sort of longer cooldown, on the order of 1s or something like that. I was not actually there, this is just what I've heard.

Two main problems with Bladefall over other similar area skills (Firestorm, Blast Rain, etc): 1.) Sets up absolutely perfectly for double dipping poison shenanigans, especially with the Shadow start nodes 2.) Bladefall has utterly ridiculous base damage Bladefall trap is so much better than any other trap build right now that you're basically gimping yourself if you don't use it in a trap build Mystery Prize fucked around with this message at 20:16 on Aug 23, 2016 |

whypick1 posted:How exactly are you going to get to 50 blades through self-casting? Faster casting and spell echo gets you to 6-ish casts per second. With the ~11 second duration you can pretty easily maintain around 30-40 off of self casting. 50 is doable but requires a lot of standing in place which would only be suitable (or needed) for bosses, though obviously not every boss allows for that kind of immobility. With poison not requiring a socket, increased duration is a possibility when a 5 or 6 link rolls around, at least as a conditional swap-in for added fire. 17 seconds would definitely allow you stay near max.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to having flasks and vaal auras up almost permanently. Might try a blood of corruption for some bosses. 15.6 second gluttony of elements is enough time to kill nearly anything in the game so far except izaro and atziri.

If I can get that monkey, you can too  vvv I skipped div cards (did not have that much ex), boss map drops (too grindy), 8 mods (probably could've done this, but could get expensive) and grinds (super-grindy, obviously). whypick1 fucked around with this message at 21:56 on Aug 23, 2016 |

Hang around on public chat 820 to pick your missing trials (assuming that's why you're asking). I found them to be rather feast-or-famine in terms of frequency.

So what happens once you complete all 6 different ones- you still have to get keys out of them, right? I was worried there was some level restriction to them.

You do the 6 different trials, the item that the trial plaque at the end of the trial is the item you throw into the map device when you're attuned. You use one offering per attempt at uber lab. You then run every trial you see for additional offerings.

Once you get all 6 you can use an Offering to run Uber Lab. If you want to keep running Uber Lab you need to either trade for more Offerings or run into more Trials in maps.

Yep, if they do a reroll, it's a complete reroll (unless the Wiki is lying ). After a bunch of "un-ID the map" and "do nothing" rolls I went gently caress it and skipped that challenge. At least full clearing all tiers of twinned maps got me the achievement for full-clearing Colosseum (and 10% of one half of the endgame grind that I was never going to complete anyway  ).

Some details on the Atlas posted by Chris: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1714099 quote:Unique maps work the same as other maps. They only drop in maps they are connected to on the Atlas until you have completed them once. Then they drop as normal. As missions, Zana can offer you unique maps that you haven't unlocked yet. These may be lower level than the level of the actual unique map is now. quote:When a map has been completed, it becomes available to drop in other maps, regardless of whether they're connected. (The regular rules still apply, so the highest map you can get from an area is two tiers above that area). The section on Shaper's Orbs is also worth reading.

You could probably set yourself up to get mostly your favorite maps by buying and completing certain ones strategically. Buy a Gorge, Canyon, Strand and complete no others of those tiers. And if there are no T7s you like, just complete the one that upgrades to Canyon.

can i run CWDT - EK - Bladefall - Iron WIll just for an extra gently caress off since I have slots? Or do I need to take out one and put the other in a spell totem to make it work?

That's a legal setup. Just remember CWDT's level threshold for EK and Bladefall. Iron Will you can keep leveled since CWDT only affects active gems, not supports.
