Repostin' Vasusdus' EA juggernaut as a reference for myself

https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/Vasudus/characters

Besides, EA basically scales like a spell. It'll just be a bit of a pain getting a high ignite chance early on, until people start farming up eyes of innocence. How much do those things typically cost?

I'll level as melee, that's a playstyle I haven't done for a while.

I was strongly considering EA this league but I just can't bring myself to pull the trigger on it. I just don't know enough about how EA "feels" (especially in light of the aoe changes), or what the initial gearing up process is like.

Warchief and all are melee, spells are fine, but you could for example go EA jugg, flameblast totems chieftain, KotF jugg or zerker...

I see. EA Jugg, KotF, Firestorm, FBT, Scorching Ray then, speaking of non-hipster builds that immediately come to my mind.

Hmm, by method of exclusion then. Not EA since I played one relatively recently, and hardly prioritise it as the poverty build. Not FBT since I played one relatively recently.

KotF sounds interesting regardless of whether if it'd be Jugg or Zerker. I'm not sure I'm all that fond of CwC Firestorm or Scorching Ray gameplay flow, and I'm not particularly excited about Firestorm itself.

KotF it is. :tipshat: Now to plug numbers into Path of Building and see if I want zerk or jugg.

zerker pathing to duelist with the lioneyes jewel (and later to VP) should be playable

you could even go doomfletch (does the 40% more go to the phys damage and then the tripled ele damage too?)

The 40% is after all the damage totals are figured I think. I tried to path something like that but the low base phys of the Prism kind of kills your poison damage.


I did path out a voltaxic pathfinder volly fire build though because that new wed cluster looks nice.

I'm excited to see a list of what items actually drop from reliquary chests. We have some confirmed, but I want to know is kaoms, shavs, consuming dark, divination distillate, and so on can drop. Also it's totally a baseless rumor, but if iiq gems and externals can drop I'll be pretty excited.

Ice Crash Slayer seems weird to me, especially since he's grabbing the new cold conversion nodes - it means you're losing out on the phys reflect protection almost entirely, which is a big draw of Slayer. Still probably really good, like Slayer in general.

Could I get like, 15% more life added in the Ranger/Shadow/Duelist area? That'd be swell if they could just magically add a cluster because it's just under my comfort level without having to run all the way over to Marauder.

Since I haven't been in the Goon guild during a league start and since it seems like we won't be able to buy all skill gems till A3, I wanted to ask if it is it the norm to pick up a few of the often used skill gems to put in the guild bank that other classes might want, e.g., spell totem, faster casting, controlled destruction, etc.?

I usually try to grab some duplicates, since people often are asking for them. It's especially helpful at league start, though Siosa selling them now is a really nice bit of QoL.

That said, SRS and Pizzasticks don't rely on uniques and thus are much cheaper than the FOTM for a starter build. Can always switch to something else later ir make new characters (or use SRS/Pizzasticks to build currency for HC, which I'm thinking about playing again this league because I R DUM)

TradeMacro is convenient to check equipments stats and rolls, and to do rudimentary price check for some things - it generally sucks at checking items with any kinds of complex variable stats, but deals okay with gem levels and quality, and various non-currency items. It has plenty of other functionality, like quick whispers and party invites and so on to speed up the trading process itself, but I prefer to use Trades Helper for that - it creates a small window that orders in queue form all trade whispers you have received, and lets you quickly go through them with invites and such. For many it may be an overkill, but I'm not shy to trade even garbage so it helps when bunch of people are whispering in a short period of time.

Shit.
I got super busy and didn't get to play Breach, and Essence was my first league; I'm essentially super new. Is there a bang-for-your-buck build that someone that can't devote a whole bunch of time can do? My first real character was an Exploding Arrow, uh, deulist? Then I messed around with a Flame Totem guy and that seemed waaaay quicker to get going. I really like that automated AOE hellscape he put out.

Seems flameblast totem is the way to go. Start as anything on the left/uppper/mid side of the tree.
