One of these days I'm going to get around to actually making a random generator for POE for Ultimate Hardcore, Have it gen a class, ascendancy, a primary skill gem, not sure what else. Maybe some keystone skills on the tree or a weapon type.

Trap bladefall is probably still really good until they nerf all the double dips, but at this point I'm just glad to have an excuse to knock things off my potential builds list.

Thinking I want to do a bladefall poison trapper to start with, ive never played a miner/trapper build and dont really want to do another EQ build to start. Is this dumb? Will traps get nerfed 3 days in?

Alternatively what else should I start with?

Bladefall totems scion

Vortex elementalist (maybe ruined by conflux nerf?)

Crit lightning arrow + blast rain raider

Someone on reddit pointed out that the total amount of XP it takes to get to 100 is just shy of 2^32 (less than 40M off), which is probably why they're nerfing XP gain instead of increasing requirements.

Tykero posted:

Glacial Cascade would be so much more functional if it was all Physical damage with a "60% of Physical Damage converted to Cold" modifier on it. I know that would kinda break the spell/attack design dichotomy but gosh it sure would make that skill suck a bit less!

Yeah, it's a shame that most of the discussion devolves to just flat damage fixes. Unlike projectile spells where you have a ton of options for tweaking the damage and how it moves around the screen, cascade boils down to "make it smaller or larger for more or less hits per target". It'd be cool to see a unique that adds some more sequences and changes the firing pattern. Could turn it into an aoe where each eruption occurs randomly in a smallish area either at the target or around you. Or, since it's supposed to be an avalanche like spell, have it do something like fork after hitting a target where the remaining eruptions spread out in a cone type pattern and let the forked eruptions shotgun.

As it is, I think the skill is just a weird combination of multi-hit ground based aoe that's never going to get much love outside of a unique item specifically made for it.

I almost never end up as a scion but when I tried to mash together a tree for poison essence drain I ended up liking this over either a witch, shadow, or ranger. I wouldn't claim it's the perfect build for everybody but I've got a thing for armor/hp casters so the scion setup made it just possible to stretch around enough to cover all that.

That's incredibly tight on points, would it be a case of leaving the witch area until the very end? I can't see myself staying alive to get that far, so I might be better off with a more usual Trickster build.

Yeah, I always spec out to the last point just to make sure there's enough...uh, branchiness available. That I'm not going to get stuck with the last 10-15 points and no easy place to fill them into without reaching. Realistically I don't think I've ever gone past 90. The shadow area is probably the last one I'd fill out since it's almost entirely damage without much defense or utility. Witch I'd start running through as soon as ascendancy points allow because I really like double curse for survivability in hardcore.

edit: A shadow is almost definitely more straightforward if you aren't intent on getting both double curse and life/armor.

Do Iron Will Hierophant. Work towards a Pledge and getting lots of mana and MoM. All your nodes are Elemental or Spell or the damage from strength from Iron Will. So you can use any spell you want and stick it in a 4L Pledge for a cheap early 5L. If you want to gimmick it up then take Resolute Technique, put on a Romira's Banquet and a The Aylardex and you can get like 45% MoM
