I just started a SR CWC inquisitor yesterday, going for a hybrid build. it's been pretty faceroll so far up to level 51. The boss/rare killing is great but the clear speed is somewhat slow. I didn't see any guides updated for 2.6 although I know a lot of people ran it in 2.5.

I'm not sure who posted what build where that involves a Victario's Acuity, but I appreciate the jump from 15c yesterday to 35c today, since that just earned me another 20c after I had mine listed up and wasn't selling.

It's honestly not that good with the Karui Ward buff. Takes a lot of both power and frenzy charges to make it comparable, much less better.

Mechanics question. Trying out a blade flurry dagger build. The example I saw used a Death's Hand mace in the offhand for the unholy might. Since blade flurry doesn't actually attack with the mace, does it matter at all what the physical damage rating on it is? Also the critical strike chance since it doesn't say global on that weapon. Wondering if I should care about those stats in this case, or just grab the absolute cheapest one if they don't matter.

Books On Tape posted:Is there such a thing as a tanky, non-CI BF build with amazing clear speed or is that asking for too many good things in one build? The Lazy Pally looks to be the closest but the clear speed looks suspect. I'm playing a gladiator blade flurry Varunastra build at the moment and the clear speed is pretty intense even with rt so it's certainly possible

is vortex traps or poison vortex dead this league? Or would it still be doable?

Got a KOTF assassin up into maps. Questions: a) I have pretty much all my starter gear, just need some chromes to recolor my boots and get some affixes on my flasks. After that's settled, should I save up for a Death's Opus (currently using Harp) or buy a 5l prophecy first? b) The build uses an ice golem for acc/crit. Is putting it in my CWDT setup a good idea? It'd have to be level 1 since I'm running IC w/no charges

So one of the prophecy leaguestone affixes gives you 1 charge and "next zone contains yama the generous". This was the result.

Ugh, the Molten Strike threshold jewel makes me want to try a build for it again, but none of the ascendancies are particularly specialized for it. Anyone have any suggestions? Something Duelist is what I've always gone with in the past, but maybe Deadeye would be good, like with the two cold nodes for 100% elemental conversion and claws or something. How does Powerful Precision work with Molten Strike? I know it probably wouldn't deal damage to a single target twice per attack, but it might be good for single target damage if it works at all.

Ciaphas posted:Any good start-friendly scorching ray builds out there? Just SR or CWC, I'm not picky, I just kinda wanna use the kamehameha wave. CWC with Firestorm is pretty nice and will get you into red maps easily. But the majority of your DPS will come from Firestorm then. Rime Gaze is a very cheap 5L, Doryani fire belts also don't break the bank. peak debt fucked around with this message at 10:44 on Mar 7, 2017 |

It's got t2 life and 110 resists, along with a decent spell damage %  5 ex seems too high to me, but it's obviously a good shield for a lot of life-based casters. Good example of a build where it would be the ideal shield (and hence why someone might pay 5 ex instead of just 1 or 2) is RF totem chieftain, which doesn't use spell crit and probably isn't using ES.

Trip report: Hysteria Staff build is pretty goddamn great. Fire a Ball Lightning into a pack, everything dies. Herald of Thunder then almost always procs, which will wipe any stragglers with Fire Burst procs on its own pretty easily. It's a tiiiiny bit less reliable than I like, especially against single targets, and that's kind of annoying since you only leech from the Fire Burst hits, but it's pretty smooth and extremely strong as soon as you hit 50. A ton of room for improvement, too, and the fact that you only need the staff and a 4l is fantastic.

Yeah as a league starter this is like the best poo poo at 50, 6s staff is dirt cheap, 4l chest as well, and the hysteria was 4c.

Pollyzoid posted:Call of the Brotherhood is giving me Voidheart flashbacks. Decided to buy Pledge of Hands at 20c, when CotB was at 20c as well. Now Pledges are 10c and CotB 40c I'm really glad pledge is staying inexpensive. With the new staff crit and MoM nodes it's perfect for all sorts of tanky inquisitor builds and getting a free link makes it even nicer for early league builds when you can't nearly afford to 6l.

Even with a garbage six socket staff that only has crafted spell damage it still wrecks faces. I was clearing the elreon feed missions by just casting orb of storms and letting orb and herald of thunder proc the bursts. I hot level 68 last and completed cruel lab so its time to start grabbing some of the crit nodes wile saving up to make the switch over to CI.

How does Powerful Precision work with Molten Strike? I know it probably wouldn't deal damage to a single target twice per attack, but it might be good for single target damage if it works at all. Here's a good place for me to step in and describe how I think my way through making a build. So, every location for red threshold jewels is in proximity to either Duelist life, Marauder life, Scion life, or Templar life. This means unless you're doing something crazy with your tree, you'll be playing life-based (the Templar one you can get as a CI Inquisitor but it'll be very hard to get a second jewel socket for it). Also, the most important keystone for Molten Strike was Point Blank and I don't think Wildfire really changes that. Because of the tree restriction, I don't see Inquisitor being viable because you have to pick up weapon-specific crit nodes for it to be good, making the pathing very hard. To me this leaves the following: Crit Sword Juggernaut Max block Gladiator, either Alkaizer's crit sword build or Varunastra Claw/Dagger Raider/Pathfinder, going left from Duelist to the Scion life wheel There are other options like Chieftain, Berserker, or Champion, but I don't see those being better than the options I listed. Because of the way Molten Strike works, the supports you really want to use with it are fairly limited. I think having 100% conversion is mandatory for it, so here are the considerations for 6 link setups: Noncrit: Molten Strike - Multistrike - Weapon Elemental Damage - Added Fire Damage/Phys to Lightning if you need conversion - Elemental Focus - Faster Attacks Crit: Molten Strike - Multistrike - Weapon Elemental Damage - Increased Critical Strikes - Added Fire Damage/Phys to Lightning - Increased Critical Damage/Elemental Focus Because I'm not a big fan of Faster Attacks, I think this makes the Crit version look a lot more attractive. Also, Duelist area block nodes specifically give melee physical damage and not all phys attack damage, which means the better pathing to Duelist start involves going through the Projectile nodes. To me this means Gladiator is out. With all that said, here is an initial tree for crit claw Pathfinder: http://www.poeurl.com/8MT This is 94 points getting the power charge from Merciless and spending 3 points in getting the phys to cold conversion. 219% life, skipping Vitality Void because I think Soul Raker + Vinktar are more than enough. It also skips Vaal Pact, meaning a foil Vinktar or Acuity would be required for maximum comfort, and it skips Claws of the Pride and Forces of Nature because those are a bit out of the way. This works as Raider as well, but do note that you'd drop some other points for Frenzy charges, and I just don't really think Raider is better than Pathfinder in general. This tree is made for Claw + Shield, but Dual Wield Scourge would also be effective, in which case you'd probably path to Twin Terrors instead of through the bottom, costing a few extra points. In the 6th link of the setup I listed, I'd probably just go with Increased Critical Damage, because I think having the blue socket is very good for Concentrated Effect swapping, and Elemental Focus removes your ability to shatter which I personally really dislike. You could go through a similar process to plan a crit sword Juggernaut tree, but I'm not going to do that right now. Same for going noncrit. Also, as a last note, it's definitely worth investigating DW Doryani's Catalyst trees, in both crit and noncrit context. That definitely has the potential to be stronger than claw, dagger, or sword.

I have about 60c worth of currency from my ED/Contagion trickster but I'm not really feeling it. Clears are good if a little clunky, hard bosses are a pain. I only started playing in Breach so not a pro. Hoping for something with good clear speed that is also T16/Shaper viable with some investment. Want to end 2.x by actually killing Shaper and other harder content. I'm thinking 2h chieftain warchief totems, some BV/poison setup (occultist or berserker), or maybe inquisitor doomfletch if that is still a thing. Suggestions?
