i can still taste him posted:I played that build this league (using static strike) and it is very good. It not only got me further in the game than ever before, it was also the cheapest build I've played. I'm still considering that build, but blade flurry is calling. I've tried putting together a juggernaut tree for use with blade flurry. Would love some comments on it. http://poeplanner.com/AAQAAQcRMwCBx...sZdpN3VAAAAAAA=

Ugh I am so split about being FotM and going Assassin CI Blade Flurry as a first char because it looks super fun and staying far the hell away from it so I can avoid trying to compete for gear with people who have way more time on their hands. But then I think, "Hey, I can do it with rares.... right?!" Only like 7 hours until I get home from work and will have to decide! (It's a tossup between that and some classic ED action since it's been a few leagues since I've done one.)

If you were dead set on going jugg sword bladeflurry, i would want something more like this. Alternatively, since you are taking RT, 1hand axes might be better than than swords. Axes have higher base damage compared to swords, and the axe damage nodes don't give you useless stats like accuracy %. If you wanted to go all in on block chance, i would prefer going Duelist-Gladiator to get more block, and spell block parity. http://poeplanner.com/AAQAAPMRMwB3x...QbGXaTd1QAAAAAA

Is there any way to go back to the old client once I've tried the dx11 client? No matter which exe i run it from now I always seem to get the dx11 client, which crashes constantly for me.

I was debating cyclone but I think I'm going to audible (back) into raider blurry, I spent a long time loving around with that tool & messing around on standard last night and think I've got a pretty decent version. Half the reason was just realizing I'd have to mule or buy a2-3 gems off the bat for my other builds and not wanting to deal with that in the first half hour-hour of a league.

I'm leaning towards doing my first ever bow character. I know the game decently (played 4 of the first 6 leagues then took some time off and came back for essence) and I really want to use caustic arrow but I'm afraid I may not be powerful enough endgame. Should I just stick with a lightning arrow if I want to go bow?

Regardless, I'd probably level with the usual tshot/LA then make a decision later on based on what I got, and what I'll need.

Putting my Noncrit Ele Blade Flurry Raider into that Path of Building calc and seeing it spit out six digit DPS figures with just mediocre gear is exciting. I sure hope most people go crit or phys so I can snag a relatively cheapo noncrit ele weapon early.

Sotar posted:i kinda want to make a build that uses Malachai's Vision What I discussed about this in Discord yesterday: The hat is like 350 ES but requires all your items to be corrupted. Vaaling a great ES shield and chest is scary and not really worth the risk. This means it's probably best to use for Eldritch Battery. As it turns out, 100 ES regen per second is more than the mana regen pretty much anyone actually gets now. This means even if you don't invest in any ES gear or any specific setup to get ES regen like stacking life regen + Zealot's Oath, you should be able to sustain your skills just off of Malachai's Vision. It's a very low investment way to sustain skills that use a lot of mana.

I am looking over stuff in my stash to get an idea of base weapon ranges. Two handed swords: 11 Daggers: 8 Staffs: 11 One handed mace/Scepters: 9 Two handed axes: 11 Claws: 9 Pokey swords: 12 One handed non-pokey swords: 9 I think we are hugging pathofexile.com to death, can't load much more.

Bluemillion posted:I'm gonna try a Crit Molten Strike Deadeye build. Deadeye has a lot of really interesting pieces, and most of them fall in place for Molten Strike. I like molten strike a lot so I have a lot of thoughts, which you can completely disregard because this is a video game and who cares. However: That's a pretty small amount of crit off the tree, especially given that the melee multiplier has no impact on the projectiles which are going to be your main source damage. Most two handers (which I'm guessing you're aiming for given those marauder passives) have awful base crit too, so you'll likely end up with better dps just going resolute technique and finding a better home for those few crit and accuracy passives. My experience has been that if I can't invest pretty heavily in crit, it's better not to invest at all. Crit/crit mult have super strong synergy as you build up more, but at the low end the increased damage is really poor for the investment especially since it forces you to chase accuracy as well. You're pretty close to two clusters that provide elemental and fire penetration which you are really going to want for the late game since more than half your damage is converted to fire and everything resists it. The gem alone will do ok but you should at least grab the fire cluster between duelist/marauder. You may find that increased aoe really annoying for single targets unless you make room for a conc effect swap. Even at base aoe, it's hard to get a lot of MS projectiles to hit a single target unless the hitbox is huge. You absolutely want to get point blank. MS projectiles barely travel any distance so they get almost the full bonus (last I checked anyway). On the flipside, that 30% more from the deadeye node is actually almost useless for the same reason. That one extra projectile is nice but you can get 2-3 off a lab helmet enchant or just use GMP, so it is not a huge selling point for deadeye. Overall, there are a lot of better classes/ascendancies for MS. If you're intent on a ranger, raider has been improved to a pretty crazy degree and the sheer attack speed and damage would likely give you a better offense than the extra projectile and crit. It's certainly got better defense which is nice since MS forces you into direct melee range. Chieftain has a lot of fire damage synergy and good defense through regen. Inquisitor would be my choice, especially if you really want crit. Inevitable judgment is one of the most absurd nodes in the entire game. Being able to ignore resistances entirely frees up a curse, a link, and any need for trying to get passive penetration (lol) off the tree, while giving you yet another reason to get as much crit as possible. I'd do dual wield ele foils or ele claws with something like this tree. This is built for hardcore so you could probably drop some regen and life if you don't care about dying every once in a while. Claw on-hit intrinsics work better with MS than pretty much any other skill in the game. You can get upwards of 1000 life on hit per second pretty easily, along with regen and life leech. Swords have more crit options on the tree and will make it easier to get near 100% effective crit. Foils carry more crit multiplier too which becomes gigantic when you always crit. Either way, the great thing about a crit-heavy inquisitor is that you ignore all elemental resistances instead of only one type, so your base skill just becomes a vehicle for packing on as much added ele damage of any type that you can find on gear, auras, etc. I hope you enjoyed my incredibly long essay about how to kill video game goblins. Bye

Probably everybody already knows this but: if the game fails to launch directly from Steam, you can go into SteamApps -> common -> Path of Exile and 'Run as Administrator'.
