If I want something that can farm uber(s) and is relatively fast (like moves quickly, clear packs fast) am I basically just looking at either PF BV or bow builds? I started a WC totemer cause I know they can clear content but gently caress me if it's not super loving boring. I got to 83 before I realized that. I probably have one more character in me before I'm done so hoping for something good I guess. Any suggestions? The cold->fire vortex looked fun but also extremely expensive. I think I have maybe ~4 ex to play with in currency and whatever my 5l belly is worth I guess.

You could always look through mathil's youtube videos. Most of his builds have very good clearspeed and can kill uber.

I rather liked siege ballista when I did it in perandus, I imagine there might be new heavy dex items that work in the build, like cospri for poison.

I think you meant to bold the line below it too (RIP super-broken leveling gloves). And I'm glad they finally fixed that FB totem instance crash (although it would've been cool had it happened before I lost my Atziri  )

When your Atlas and Inventory are both open, hovering over a map in your inventory will highlight it on the Atlas. When right clicking on a map in your inventory, the Atlas will centre around that map. A text search box has been added to the Atlas, you can search by a map's name or tier (for example, tier:4). Maps that you have uncovered that match the search will be highlighted. hallelujah!

Vinktar's is very much broken. Remove the aoe shock and significantly nerf the leech and it might be allright. Or remove the leech and keep the aoe shock. E: Or make the self-shock unpurgable by any means at all, so it actually has a significant tradeoff.

Rest in peace, my lovely, lovely gloves. Got to warehouse sewers in 55 minutes and could definitely be faster, but ah well. I really ought to just do that when leveling all the time, even with normal builds. Gotta go faaaaaaaaaaaaast

theshim posted:Gotta go faaaaaaaaaaaaast That's pretty much the trick yea. Dont stop running, dont clear white packs, dont match zone level, do efficient routes. One good example that saves a lot of time is in act1 submerged passage: Instead of doing the crab and then running all the way through the zone again, leave a tp at the bridge (there's always a rope-bridge right after the crossroad between crab and ledge) and run to the ledge waypoint. Take the waypoint back to town, take your tp to the bridge and then do the crab. like thThings at save you a lot of time overall.

I suppose the biggest draw is the evasion stacking for DF and qotf which of course would be considerably stronger with 100% uptime on your jade flask as well as the increased effectiveness from PF. would probably work better with different weapons on an assassin or raider (maybe?). also if anyones around could they throw an guild invite to sparkledickraveswords? ty!

Tabletops posted:Seems like his dreamfeather ST kind of fits what I wanted though I was hoping to stay away from PF for this league. Oh well! Looks fun. You absolutely do not need to go Pathfinder. Assassin probably does way more damage. Here's a tree that uses the same number of points as Mathil's Pathfinder tree, and has more evasion and life: poeurl.com/MSA I believe this should easily be able to cap crit with an increased crits gem. Maybe it doesn't even need the gem, in which case you only have to change 1 link around instead of 2. The tradeoffs vs Pathfinder are you lose the duration cluster near Scion (kind of made up for by Assassin's +30% duration if you've killed an enemy recently), and you lose the flask nodes, both from the Ascendancy and from the skill tree itself. You'll probably have to use Poison + Inc Crits as links instead of Pierce + Faster Attacks, but Pierce damage boost isn't nearly as big as it used to be anyways and Faster Attacks is a fairly expendable link in the first place. It also drops some increased damage nodes but I can't imagine you aren't doing at least twice as much damage as the Pathfinder version, with like 450% crit multiplier and capped crit rate + all your poisons doing double damage from the ascendancy. Obviously there's a big problem with not being able to sustain a Vessel of Vinktar for free, but that's what you get for not playing Pathfinder.

I'm playing BV pathfinder (like every other imagination-less person). The build I'm looking at (this one) suggests taking a second BV gem with PCoC and curse on hit. Can someone who knows more about BV than me explain how this works with stacking? I use an MTX on my primary BV and therefore I can see when the secondary one is active by the green swirl in the midst of the red swirls, but it's hard to see, and sometimes it seems to disappear early. If I cast the primary 20 times before the secondary wears off, will it overwrite it? I wonder if that's what's happening. Frankly having to manage keeping the secondary BV up without any visible timer (and PoE's very annoying cast queueing which means I have to spam the button to get it to actually cast) is extremely annoying, so for now I've just hooked my curse up to Blasphemy and put the PCoC gem straight into my primary BV 5-link, which hurts my damage but is orders of magnitude smoother to play. Can anyone who's played this build higher than I have (level ~75) give me any pointers that might make it a bit more user-friendly using the secondary BV? Also, I have enough currency to afford either Vinktar's or Rumi's - which is a better first upgrade for survivability?

It's 20 stacks globally, so if you spam your primary one you'll eventually overwrite stacks from your secondary.

I'm basically running Mathil's build but as a Raider and with a bow. Level 90 E: I forgot, you can run this with a 20c Lioneye's and do more damage than I am with a 5ex thicket; of course you'll miss out on evading 2/3 of the reflected phys damage, but there's still dodge and more than half of your damage should be coming from chaos.

Having played BV 2 leagues ago (without any p2w mtx  ), I used the fact that the primary BV was linked to spell echo. So if there's an odd number of stacks, that means the secondary is up. If there's an even number of stacks, then you either let the secondary drop off (or you accidentally pressed the secondary twice).Alternatively, try swapping the mtx onto your secondary, see if that shows up nicer.

The Real Foogla posted:projectile, area (and melee I'm talking about my (and others') Vortex build - running: - Vortex - Inc AoE/Concentrated Effect - Controlled Destruction - Chance to Ignite/Elemental Focus The other gem options would be things like Hypothermia or Rapid Decay, neither of which double-dip or running Inc AoE and CE at the same time. The 30% more ele damage is more valuable than any of those options IMO. Unless you're a strength build and want to run the Iron Will gem of course. Plus this means that I can actually run a Solaris while I save for a Shav's without having to spend a million chroms to get the colours I'd need on a 5 link. The only gearing problem with my build is I need either a level 4 empower (heh), a +1 gems rare ES gloves (heh) or a +1 gems Rainbowstrides to get a level 23 Purity of Fire, which I'm currently sinking all of my available currency into trying to get. edit: actually I've just had a great idea: Putting Discipline, Purity of Fire, and Empower into a +1 gems wand. That'd be way cheaper! edit2: Or even Discipline and Purity of Fire without Empower at all into a +1 gems, +2 fire gems if you care more about the mana reserved than the extra ES. There's currently a wand with that and 79% increased Fire Spell Damage for only 10c on poe.trade. gonadic io fucked around with this message at 12:19 on Sep 23, 2016 |

Ok ok. FINAL REVISION: CI Dagger Deadeye LS Hopefully the dagger crit+accuracy will let me consistently crit dudes, applying shock as well as elemental overlap, and crafting "Causes Bleed on Hit" on a weapon will let me cause bleed all the time, for even more crit and damage from deadeye ascendency. Anyways. That's the theorycarft. Time to put in ~15 hours to see if this idea can even get off the ground. Jinnigan fucked around with this message at 16:10 on Sep 23, 2016 |
