YoungSexualNorton posted:It seems like the changes to aoe should benefit slayer quite a bit. Less pressure to reach up to templar and/or witch for their clusters, because those areas were otherwise not great for a phys 2hander build to traverse. I really want to see the updated passive tree, because by the sound of it the vast majority of the changes were on the right side of the tree, especially the ranger area. Want to see what they did there, especially that phys-to-cold bit.

theshim posted:Man, I really don't know what I'm gonna run at this point. I want to do the Hysteria staff build, and I'll probably do a Flame Totem or Warchief Totem build, and I definitely want to mess around with EK with the new threshold jewel, and I still need to do a Flicker Strike build with the buffed Terminus Est, and aaaaaaaaa Follow your heart. There are so god drat many common uniques that look to be worth build around that there are enough options for even the most hipster of exiles. One thing to consider is that this might be the last league where most of the most powerful mechanics are available to be used in their current form. So take advantage of that. I was thinking about ethereal knives too, but after comparing the raw damage of it relative to blade vortex is feels too lackluster. I do think that poison/chaos EK will be solid, and the playstyle will be improved by using the threshold jewel. I think totems would be the best way to go. Just take a shockwave totem build and transition it to ek totems. They have the same cast time, but EK has 50% more damage and a damage effectiveness of 100% instead of the 60% SWT has. It would certainly be worth trying. I was planning on doing a fire nova mine sab as my first build, but after the patch notes I am pretty lukewarm on it. I have never played a BV build, so I think i will make a BV berserker.

This is what's killing me about the league. I like cooking up my own builds, but knowing that 3.0 is waiting around the corner to shake up a bunch of mechanics makes me hesitate to put in the effort right now. It would break my heart to craft the real ultimate wizard for 2.6 and then jump over to the beta and find out that it won't work. Anyway for the guy asking about SRS, this is a pretty in-depth guide that is mostly relevant except it was built around the 50 spirit limit instead of 20. It picks up more cast speed than you'd need currently but it's otherwise got a good breakdown. https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1611973

So I'm really torn between a Flameblast Totem build (The PizzaSticks build on the forums) or some sort of Bladeflurry CWC Bladefall build. The problem is I haven't been able to find a good guide for the second option. Can anyone help me out? I want something that will work as a league starter if possible. I'm really kinda bad at building stuff on my own so help would be very appreciated even if its only to tell me to stick with the Pizzasticks.

Some updated uniques that stick out to me: Brinerot Whalers(max roll is 202 es on boots with 25% movespeed, a chunk of damage, lightning resist, and the utility of ignoring shocked ground) Broken Faith(27% block chance, some phy damage as chaos, and potentially unholy might up all the time) Gifts from Above(this plus inquisitor means you have 5% block, 90% increased damage, 4% life+mana+es regen per second, 25% cast and attack speed, and cannot be shocked/ignited/frozen/chilled. Thats gotta be good, right?) Brutus' Lead Sprinkler(strength=damage. not sure if this is actually good, but it looks really cool) Brinerot Mark(golem buff effect is great for double dipping on flame golems damage increase, also 20-25% spell damage and some energy shield makes it useful) Immortal Flesh(I can see using this now) Terminus Est(duh) Marylene's Fallacy(This has to be great with flameblast totems inquisitor.) Cherrubim's Maleficence(thats a significant amount of chaos damage) Dream Fragments(Could see some use when coupled with Valyrium for non crit CI builds) Hrimsorrow/Hrimburm(cold attack skills that convert 50% phy to cold might be end game viable with these) Bated Breath(seems worth using in whispering ice double perandus signet builds) Doedre's Scorn(Solid alternative for elemental CI builds using curses as auras) Incandescent Heart(Someone is going to make a CI build with this and make it work) The Covenant(a motherfucking eight link) Auxium(duh) Hrimnor's Resolve(this seems useable for life based fire builds) Piscator's Vigil(This and the changes to the tree around ranger start could make pathfinder ele wander a really good build) So much new poo poo to play with

Probably doing something with max Block again, though previous league was Blade Flurry which is now nerfed. Maybe go back to a spell of some kind with Cybil's Paw?

I'll probably go with some lame Warchief Totem Marauder / Duelist i guess. Or Pizza Sticks. Was thinking about Burning Arrow Chieftain/Zerker but want to see if the new jewel is worth it.

I'm also considering Warchief Totems or Blade Vortex, but I've never done either. Does anyone have guides or character links I could copy? Of course, I'm mostly doing those because they're cheap and powerful and I want to save money to pimp out my primary build: Sire of Shards Arctic Breath totems. I even got the magic book MTX from the races, and I'm hoping to be able to afford a six-link Sire and a Dying Sun.

For those who will go League HC, there's at least me, a struggling single mom, going HC. Two buddies will too and Rodent is always there thank god. I have no idea what I will start with. I might actually rebuild Detonate Dead, but I need to figure out if it's starter-friendly. "Luckily", I can only start on monday, so I have a few days to decide about it.

You guys are missing half of the Siosa gem vendor notes; you don't just have to complete his quest, you have to complete his quest and the quest that would normally give the gem. So you can't just get to act 3 and start buying act 4 gems, but you can get the act 4 gems once you finish the relevant act 4 quests.

Acht posted:For those who will go League HC, there's at least me, a struggling single mom, going HC. It should be very cheap to do as it doesnt use spell crit or damage, but don't level as DD its beyond awful. I'm about 90% sure that I am going to do the Fire Burst in legacy SC. Just not feeling HC for this one, plus Ill probably spend some time in the beta once that drops.

theshim posted:Actually the more I think about this the more I like it. Threw together a tree for it, even: http://www.poeplanner.com/AAUAAOcVG...QxS7WGcewAAAAAA Inquisitors and burn damage really don't mix well. You have to drop enemy resists for the burn to accomplish much, but investing in two curses buys you nothing on your actual attacks because inevitable judgment ignores resists entirely whether they're negative or positive. You give up the tremendous pile of advantages that you otherwise have from not worrying about resistances. I'd either do a similar tree as a chieftain or give up on the burn idea and just roll a straight crit ice crash templar. Hegemony's was already absurdly strong and it sounds like the 2.6 passive tree is going to buff staves more. Based on the way that tree looks I'm assuming you're playing sc, so it doesn't matter that inquisitors absolutely murder themselves on ele reflect even with 1 handers.

Will Shavronne's Revelation in the left ring slot prevent Aegis Aurora from giving you back ES? Aegis says "replenish" while Shavronne's says you can't "recharge or regenerate."

Yes. With Shavs in the left slot the only way to get ES back would be anything that grants ES on hit/kill or Ghost Reaver/life leech. Pretty sure Aegis is a "regenerate".

Last time (Essence League), I levelled as Vortex/Ignite and transitioned fairly ok'ish to DD/Ignite. Didn't like the experience much though. (also, play HC Bugsy)

standard players btfo due to programming limitations the new zana mods are going to be on standard as well but they also don't have leaguestone drops like legacy league does so that means a solid 2-3 months of no access to previous league uniques lmao
