Got most of the way through Cruel yesterday. Racers would already be something like level 80. :v:

EA is fun, and I grabbed EO and some accuracy nodes to supplement it. I'm more worried about it being consistent when it comes to mapping, but worse comes to worst I'll just respec out of it if it doesn't work out. I'd have EE now too if I didn't go Chieftain, but the extra penetration and fire damage and leech and ignite goes a ways towards making up for it :supaburn:

Around what damage should I get Essence Drain to before I risk taking on Atziri? I feel like I'm pretty close to okay defensively now that I'm at 7k ES, but my damage is still pretty meh.

Atziri isn't really a numbers fight, it's a mechanics fight. The quality of your offensive ability will determine how long each fight takes, the quality of your defensive ability will determine how many fuckups you can survive.

That being said, more is always better and you're almost assuredly going to brick your first set, at least. Get in there and learn it, it's a fun fight.

1 chaos orb. Typically people talk prices in chaos or exalted orbs, so stuff like 20c or 2.8ex is common parlance.

Ice Trap has pretty much stayed unchanged - the only real difference is that it was popular to do cold to fire to chaos conversion but with the conversion nerfs that's no longer really a thing (though cold to fire does still work with Pyre).

I ran Ice Trap in 2.2 without any of the conversion shenanigans and found it to be really strong anyway. It's probably still really fun, although it didn't get rolling for me until I hit Chain Reaction though.

Dual Strike & crit with claws. Since I'm just starting out and poor it seems like a viable(ish?) build, but like I said I have no idea what I'm doing!

It's terrible because Dual Strike is a terrible skill. The skill tree is kind of terrible but salvageable, but you should use any non-single target skill instead.

E: never mind the skill tree is just plain terrible



1 more point required, 161% increased life. Less damage (can be made up pretty much entirely by getting the Ranger notables that give attack speed + 16% damage + some other stats) and crit multiplier (Throatseeker is too far away to be worthwhile and you get plenty of multi already from being an assassin). Use Reave.

I have to say, Warchief totems are really good. Currently 74 and doing t2 - t3 maps to open up the atlas and have not had any problems. A few close calls when leap slam didn't leap where I wanted in a trial, and took a ghosted Voll slam that thought I was out of range of that put me to 25% health. 4.4k health and 17k DPS per totem with a 4 link, and once I get my 421 dps doomsower 6 linked I am going to be set on weapons for the rest of the game barring getting a Disfavor. And I only have 4 melee damage nodes, the damage half of the Totemic Mastery cluster, and the Totemic Zeal cluster as my DPS nodes.

Need to get 2 more jewel slots and some better jewels, then a real belt as my next upgrades.

I already did Atziri last League but I was playing a pretty glass-cannon Arc Elementalist (well, Storm Call on Atziri herself) at the time so suffice to say that while I obviously got the basics like stay out of mega-flameblasts and watch out for reflect-clone - guess I won't have to worry about that as ED - the fight was low on mechanics and high on exploding the bosses in as few seconds as possible. My Trickster already has more ES than my Witch had Life+ES, but obviously she didn't NEED much survivability since the dps was pretty obscene. Plus CI doesn't get those nice, helpful healing flasks and instead have to contend with the slightest damage interrupting all your regen.

Sadly no, that is one of the biggest skill types I feel like PoE is missing right now. There's no channeling beam skill, the closest is Incinerate which is more like a flamethrower and shorter range with a cone(especially with multi proj)

So I've just picked the game back up after playing a bit in early 2013 ron my crappy old 32bit OS pc that didn't have the address space to run the game properly. I'm around half way through act 4 normal and have somehow found 6 chaos already. Is there anything I should even consider buying or am I levelling so quickly there isn't really a point. My character seems to be doing ok, though it is pretty hard right now to find gear with both good mods and enough links. I guess I should be just using poe.trade all the time as decent gear seems to be only a few alterations or augmentations. Also should I bother listing my random vaal gems and uniques I've found?

FYI, interesting builds from the top of the HC ladder:

1. Steelmage: CI Elemental Kinetic Blast Miner Saboteur. Best part is if you look up Kinetic Blast Mines on Google the first result is a build that says "NOT VIABLE IN 2.4 BUILD IS NOW TOTAL GARBAGE NO MORE SINGLE TARGET WITHOUT FROST WALL." Steel uses Fire Nova Mines in a 4L for extra single target damage.
2. RaizQT: CI Bow Summon Raging Spirits Necromancer. Yes, it's using a 6L bow with Essenced +2 fire gems and a Soul Strike. Also using a Minion Movespeed ring.
3 died, was a pure support Champion with all the Fortify stuff for survivability, tricurse Curse on Hit Ice Shot with Ele Equilibrium, and lots of curse + aura buffs. Typical Aura Bot.
4. Daleroy: standard Icestorm Elementalist.
5. AngryWeasel: CI Poison BV Occultist. Abuses Soul Strike's fast ES regen start with Occultist's continuous regen after taking damage. Bow uses the 1000 chaos DoT Essence craft with a bunch of other garbage affixes. Presumably an ideal weapon would be +1 all gems, but bow is only used as a vector for Soul Strike's crazy synergy with Occultist. You could use a 1000 DoT wand or dagger with a shield if you really wanted to.

It looks like essence crafting has kind of made Bows the best caster weapons. Also made everyone go CI/LL, both with the ability to use Soul Strike as a caster and the ability to craft ES gear easier.

Haven't played since Perandus League, anyone able to help bring me up to speed on what's changed?

I checked the wiki for the expansion info and the engine improvements and improving mapping, but have any of the older skills been improved or does everyone still use the newer shinier overpowered skills like earthquake? what are some of the improved and popular builds that can quickly clear the end game, and have ascendancy classes been mixed up a lot or is it still largely people playing champions and juggernauts?

Stuff like the post above me is great for seeing what kind of builds are viable right now and apparently CI is wildly popular?

Juggernaut got nerfed a bit but is still viable. The hot ascendency classes are pathfinder and elementalist.
