dangerdoom volvo posted:what if totems automate to lighthouse mode Its possible considering they actually made flameblast totems work. If I am reading it right, it runs into the RF totem problem. Multiple dot's of the same source won't stack so you would need two different sources. But it doesn't hit so you can't reflect yourself, spell damage applies so if it has a high damage effectiveness it should deal good damage.

Ultima66 posted:I'm not worried about resist capping wearing all uniques. I want to hit 6500 life. In a crit build you really want the 90%b multiplier from face breakers. And while you can probably get higher life boots than Atziri's the spell dodge is really nice, I don't think it's worth it to give that up for a bit more life.

When using a multi-attack skill how often does it calculate on-hit bonuses? For example, Lacerate with Multistrike swings 6 times, but is actually 3 Lacerates and only one use of the skill by me, so would something like Onslaught have the potential to trigger on each visible attack (so 6 times), on each Lacerate (3 times) or each combined use of the skill (so 1 time)?

What items or skill gives chance to gain Onslaught on hit? Anyway, Lacerate is an aoe skill. So on-hit effects will apply for each enemy you hit. So if you have one enemy in front of you, a single use of Lacerate with Multistrike will gain the on-hit effect six times (assuming a 100% chance to hit). Two enemies, twelve times. If you run around with Lightning Arrow + GMP + Chain, a single arrow into a mob can get you 45 hits.

Ultima66 posted:It's like RF and Searing Bond and Flame Trap. Ignite isn't burn. You can still do can't be ignited enemies. Halfassed skill tree for a laser marauder. Any thoughts? From the tags on it, it looks like a similar build to RF, but no need for AoE or crazy regen on self. Or maybe I should just wait for the drat thing to come out

Are you using something else with Scorching Ray? Not sure why you're picking up EE (Orb of Storms?) or Celestial Punishment (enemies won't be ignited by SR, so no damage boost).

As for Celestial Punishment, I wasn't sure about the wording there, but yeah, if it's only Ignited and not Burning enemies then those points will be reclaimed. Might drop them over into Blood Magic, actually, depending on how expensive the skill ends up being.

Selfcasting a channeling skill that doesn't even let you rotate instantly and also doesn't allow you to leech seems like a bad time. It's a fire skill, so getting plenty of life regen and life shouldn't be too hard. Too bad life regen is still commonly penalized or even disabled by map mods.

Yeah seems like the deck is stacked against scorching ray as far as mechanics go. Maybe the damage will be way overtuned to compensate

5L Barrage with a Death's Opus is probably the fastest I've ever killed the bosses in end of Cruel/Beginning of Merc. Like holy poo poo I shouldn't even be using poison gem a crit barrage does like Merveil's entire life bar when I have 500% multiplier and it shoots 6 arrows.

Bluemillion posted:It would be a hell of a lot better to selfcast this and put GMP Ball Lightning on a totem to trigger EE. Especially since Ray needs castspeed, and Spell totem is a serious cast speed hit. Spell totem claims to have a cast speed hit but my flame blasts are the same speed selfcast or totem.

I think the cast speed hit is summoning the totem itself, not how fast the totem casts spells.

If I have Commander of Darkness (You and Allies affected by your Auras have +20% to all Elemental Resistances) and I'm running hatred+generosity, do my minions get the resists? I know I won't (I use clarity for that). Just want to make sure.

Hey, guys. I'm super new to this game (I've cleared Normal Essence, about to move up to Cruel) and I'm just wondering about Resistances. Everyone says that they're super important, and I get that, but where should I be deriving them from as a mostly-Strength build? Does it mostly come from rings and equipment, or are there some passive skill things I should be dipping into for them?

Equipment. Resistances can be rolled on all pieces of equipment, whereas quite a lot of passives can't be rolled on equipment. That being said, there are some passives that grant resistances that are worth it, like the Barbarism branch (life is always good) or the Cloth and Chain branch (more defenses are good). If you're really in need of resistances, there's the Diamond Skin node (15% all) and its branches (12% for each element) that you can spec into, but spec out of those as soon as you get good enough gear to do so. All that being said, you may be able to get away with not being capped in Cruel. Merciless? Yeah, cap it. And try to get your Chaos resistance up if you can.

You should really look into using https://www.poe.trade if you have the time to figure it out. There are some tutorials on youtube by some of the bigger streamers that are pretty worth your while, will give you a much better game experience.

Oh you can definitely get quite good without ever trading even once. It's more an understanding of how the game works than simply having the right gear. Of course, having the right gear is going to make whatever you build that much more effective and enjoyable. Point is that trading is not strictly required if you don't want to.

Also note that resistances while useful early game only become super-important later in the game. Mostly after act3 merciless in my opinion. E: Capped resistances that is, you dont really want to run around with 0% after act 1 normal .

I have no plan and very little racing experience so if you'd like to laugh at my attempts to play this game on stream you can do so here: https://www.twitch.tv/m_rch I'll be streaming most if not all of the races today and in between that I'll be pushing 40/40 challenges (currently at 38) and also probably playing some overwatch when I get sick of running Atziri.
