So my hege-staff assassin is 82 with full ascendancy now, and im having doubts on the matter of power charges: With all 7 charges up, im slamming nose first into crit cap with 333% multiplier. With 5 charges im still at 93.82% crit with 317% multiplier. Would it be better to respec 2 power charges (templar and shadow area) into something else? (like +1 frenzy and +1 endurance for example) I mean 20% multiplier is large but not huge, the crit chance is utterly wasted (well 1.18% are wasted) and the defence and offense from the other charges might benefit me more, no? Currently sitting at 90% hit chance, running temp chains blasphemy and hatred. Tooltip dps on sweep is some 64k with 3 frenzy / 7 power charges. What do you think? This is the tree i had planned out for lvl 90 WITH power charges: Yes its only 161% life but theres 4 jewels with 6% each so its 185 really. https://www.pathofexile.com/passive...2oTcV6lRY5YrvuL

So today I learned that if the Possessed Foe prophecy triggers on a map with the Warbands mod, every single Warbands member will be possessed by a tormented spirit! And if the map also happens to have, say, the "boss is surrounded by bodyguards" mod on it, the Elite Bodyguards will spawn possessed, too! That was pretty fun.

TheRat posted:EA is a T1 skill. What makes EA work for juggernaut? I've never rolled a juggernaut. Just their general defensiveness? Also, since I mentioned it before, are there any alternatives to the flammability curse on hit thing I mentioned earlier? I'd still be willing to give EA another go if it weren't for the lovely feeling of that mechanic. (Maybe CoH orb of storms instead of blast rain/rain of arrows?)

Oh I just remembered it wasn't for the curse, it was for EE. Sorry. The build I was reading had a tiiiny amount of flat cold/lightning in gear so that non-EA attacks could trigger fire vulnerability on EO. Sounds too good to pass up but too annoying to play

If I'm rolling a Jugg for EA, I'm considering using a Brass Dome over Kaoms, and getting the double chest armor node. With my planned tree that chest alone will give me nearly 30k armor.

Didn't EA's damage against bosses used to rely on attaching to frost wall? How does it deal single target damage now that you can't use frost wall like that?

Same way you did back then when frostwall wasnt convenient. Weapon or gemswap gmp for slower proj, aoe for conc. Or just be a pathfinder with dying sun.

For bosses make a burning damage setup, the ignite will do the killing.

Just got Master Alchemist. If I use a flask after I fire explosive arrows but before they detonate, do they benefit, or does the flask have to be up when I fire? (ditto effects from e.g. sulfur flasks)

So why did exalts dip this low, anyway? Are people trying to get the perandus chest challenge done draining all the chaos or what?

Exalts are low because I personally bought every single chaos orb in order to buy Deliriums.

Chaos are used in loving everything. Want to reroll an item? Chaos. Want to reroll a map? Chaos. Want to add a Zana mod? Chaos. Got an item worth more than an alch, but less than an exalt? Chaos.

Soothing Vapors posted:edit: I am extremely in the wrong thread drat, now I will never know if this was another workout progress post or something amazing like that. Also there are a lot of chaos sinks that dominate a lot of the players time in temp leagues. While in standard I would imagine that some people are hoarding exalts to try and make new mirror worthy items with new bases/affixes that get introduced in 3.0

Does character vs enemy level have any direct effect on any calculations at all, or is it only stuff that derives from that (passive tree and stats) that matters? Got my explosive arrow character CiaphasSA_Torgue  to 71 this evening. She tear-asses thru everything thus far. Gearing question, should I be doing anything special with gloves, boots and helm, like uniques-wise? Or are they doomed to forever be resistance sticks? Any obvious gearing errors before I head for uber lab?

Also it's less the value of exalts dropping and more chaos going up in value. I'm noticing in all currency trading, chaos is worth more.

Vasudus posted:Chaos are used in loving everything. Except that's always been the case of every league and yet they have never dropped this hard. Also if you reroll a map when you can buy 3 or more alchs for a chaos you're doing it wrong. And it has been at that price point the entire league.

What's your life etc at because I'd try for 5-6k before Uber I tried for a pair of 21 EA gems but couldn't find a 21 or an uncorrupted 20 all day. Damage sure skyrocketed soon as I got a 20 though, I was on 16s before. And yeah I thought about rerolling as Juggernaut when I picked this guy back up, but so far the flask buffs and immunities from Pathfinder are turning out pretty good too. 5.3k life right now. I'm liking this enough that my starter for next league might just be an EA Juggernaut. Nothing in this was truly expensive at all and I'm cruising hard as long as I'm playing flask piano well enough. (e: still have an ED/cont trickster to level before I can say I've tried everything I'm currently interested in and can bloody stop with the alts )

Find an extra slot or two to level up gems in cause lv21 gems are a big part of your damage. How's your jewels looking?

What are the popular builds this league and where would they rank in terms of ease to gear and power? last league everyone was going on about double dipping vortex in various ways, blade flurry has become the new earthquake in a melee skill everyone uses, the molten strike axe for cyclone looks strong but I don't know how strong.

To be fair, you'll probably see another video or hear of another build concept, or find another build enabling unique and probably be right back in it again.
