You don't want to take unwavering unless you're on SC. Use a Valyrium on HC.

Not sure if that's intentional design but you're definitely meant to be staying inside. For real, never set foot outside of a breach unless you're just planning on booking it as far away from it as you can. Anything else is asking to be turbofucked by a bunch of invisible and untargetable breach rares and/or a breachlord.

yeah as soon as you can put on the baby howas you use them with spectral throw (or whatever skill you will be using) all the way until you can upgrade them you can also get vaal pact and ghost reaver really early and level as hybrid. it works pretty well

How viable is running boots with "80% chance to not be stunned if you've killed recently" as a Valyrium / Eye of Chalupa replacement?

Is there a life vs mob hit vs chance to be stunned calculator? If I have 7k life but am flicker strike so a stun would be bad news, how likely am I to get stunned from a big hit?
|

The probability is (2 * Damage / Max Life), with =<.2 getting ignored. So any hit =<10% of life won't stun, any hit >=50% of life will always stun. Chance to ignore stun gets rolled after this.

Had a good day last night. Found an 84 crystal belt and hubris circlet, a belly, an insanity essence, and a new pair of boots.  Bought this for 5c, sold the crystal belt for and ex then got a nice roll on the % energy shield roll. Probably a waste of an exalt, but meh.

Yeah I was gonna say, that ring doesn't really seem to justify an exalt for the craft.

Magus42 posted:Why wouldn't it be? Nothing changed with how it drops or is chanced. It's more expensive this league than usual (was around 40 exalts when they're usually 30-35), and exalts were worth double what they normally are. Except apparently exalts are crashing right now so who knows what it'll stabilize at.

I haven't played much since tossing out my exalts for a Shavs so I'm almost sad I only had one Ex to liquidate before the bubble apparently popped. Got out at 115c so that could have made a pretty penny if I had more.

I didn't have much floating currency after finishing the gearing on my current character but last night I sold an item for 3 exalts while the price was high and didn't sell them for chaos immediately.

so when most people follow that whispering ice guide i assume they usually go with the witch but has anyone tried the templar version? i have already leveled 2 witches this league and it says templar is better at boss killing which is what i mainly want to do with it

I did Templar this league, but I also did the cast when channeling version which is a little weaker than the self cast version. Ele reflect irritated the gently caress out of me after being able to completely ignore it as Witch. Otherwise it's pretty cool, was fun to hear the lines he has and I realized I'd never even killed Dominus Normal with a Templar before. Just make sure you stock up on Sulphur flasks and use them liberally when you get Sanctify and especially Pious Path. Elemental Status effect immunity is wonderful.

I'm doing a Totems build, and my guide suggests Tukohama for the taunts then Ramako for the endurance charges, but my totems seem to do pretty well at holding aggro right now (act 2 merciless) without it, and it'd be nice to get tons of endurance charges for just doing what I'm doing. Thoughts?

What guide suggests endurance charges for totems? Leech and Taunt are both more important, imo.

In my experience with Warchief Totems you do so much damage that taunt is irrelevant, the only things in the game that you won't blow up in a couple of seconds are end-game bosses (uber atziri, guardians and shaper) that will chew through your totems as fast as you can place them and against those bosses it's more effective to have attacks targeting you so that your totems don't die and can continue DPS. Totem leech with Trolltimber is good (totems leech to you), but without that they leech to themselves and it's irrelevant for the same reasons as above; within 1-2 seconds of placing a totem either the target is dead or your totems are dead. Totems leeching to themselves is only helpful for countering reflect, but totems do fine against reflect even without it (because they tend to kill entire groups with a single attack) edit: I just realized that build is Searing Bond so I have no idea how relevant my advice is, but I'd be wary of following that build since it's 2 patches old and the guy who wrote it capped out at a theoretical 100k total dps with a 6l (he uses a 4l...?) when Warchiefs can pretty easily hit 300-500k per totem these days. deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 06:48 on Apr 5, 2017 |

I think the "design your own item for $1000" thing is on hiatus right now, yeah? But I've been kicking around an idea for a jewel, but I'm not the best at theory crafting. Anyone want to tell me if this would be useless, op, or viable at all? Something something jewel Your maximum 'A' charges is equal to your maximum 'B' charges Maximum 'B' charges is reduced by 1 Where A can roll power, frenzy, or endurance, and B will roll one the choices A didn't. Reasoning behind it is hell, I'm invested in frenzy charges but I'd love to have more than 3 endurance charges. But the opportunity cost of investing into more than 4 or so charges of two different types gets pretty high. The lowered maximum is so that there is some drawback. Right now I have 7 frenzy charges, that jewel (with the right roll) would let me have 6 frenzy and 6 endurance. Seems maybe too strong for just the cost of two passive points, but Red Dream had a similar opportunity cost and is plenty strong as well.

Designing uniques has been re-priced to $2,000 and it's something you have to email support about, they have such a big backlog of backer uniques to create that they removed the option from their storefront.Awesome! posted:that build is weird as hell It actually seems really cool in theory, like the mechanics behind it of using shockwave totems to pull and lock enemies into your searing bond is original and neat, but yeah weird is a good way to describe it.

I think it's just price raised or something. from their Q&A quote:A lot of players would wish to create their own unique items or divination cards but can't fork out 1k because they have financial reasons or they are just too young. Do you plan to do competitions for example "a fan art competition" and let winners create and put a pair of them into poe without paying the hefty fee of 1k?
