So the WI tricurse witch build I'm in gives an ordering for prisming. It says faster attacks first, even though orb of storms and whatever other things it's supporting are in no way my main damage dealing spells. Is that really the best place? Really I'm asking, how do I determine what to use prisms on? I have a few.

zxqv8 posted:SR provides up to 24% fire resistance reduction against the target in question which acts as a more multiplier (and does it's own considerable DPS), while CWC itself provides a 10% more multiplier and farts out your icestorms faster than even spell echo will without the associated damage reduction from using it. i think it also depends if you are witch or templar since sr wastes the huge cast speed buff templar gets on consecrated ground

I wouldn't say the consecrated ground cast speed buff is wasted. It does let you stack up the debuff faster and get it started again faster if you do have to dodge.

And more importantly thanks to Pious Path you get energy shield regen and Cannot be affected by Elemental Status Ailments while on Consecrated Ground. Which is great. It's not as constant as Avatar of the Veil, but it's still really loving good.

speaking of character improvements, looking for some advice on my BV pathfinder for uber lab runs - turns out it's way more fun when every run only takes you 6 minutes! https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/interrodactyl/characters?characterName=FlabFinder Some things I already know - I was trying to recolor my chest to 3B 2G 1R, but after spending ~90 chaos in chromes, gave up on that. - Need to scour my blind gem 1 level - My next skill points are to pick up 2 more jewel slots and then grab the Evasion/Movespeed cluster on the lower right (3 to get both jewels, 4 to get the movespeed cluster) I am feeling a bit squishy with 4750 life and 2600 mana, but not sure where i can really pick up more life for cheap.

Tldr: until you get into maps, or at least act 3/4 merciless, feel free to use any leaguestones that drop without hesitation. E: and don't worry about feeling clueless. This game has so many mechanics that can interact with other mechanics in unexpected ways that I'm still learning things with nearly 3000 hours of play time.

YoungSexualNorton posted:Your listed cast speed is how long it takes you to cast one time, even with spell echo socketed in. Spell echo forces you to cast two times at that rate. Yes, my cast time is .29 (could be lower but I'm testing Doedre's Tenure in gloves), so .58 with Echo. The consensus I've read for the build I'm using is definitely that CWC is better against bosses - obviously assuming you can continuously fire it - and worse for clearing maps in general. I dunno if the CWC version would up my leech to let me tank more poo poo, if it can then it'd probably be worth it for the tough bosses, though I'd hate to have to use it for mapping. Though I'm not sure how much of the boss-tanking is CWC and how much is the rest of the build (I'm Guardian, and I assume Elementalist/Inquisitor versions probably are gonna be leeching more than me with their fancy offensive ascendancies). Of course, I'd probably be better off rebuilding to some Inquisitor version with different gearing in the end, CWC or otherwise, but I'm too lazy for that.

Check https://siveran.github.io/calc.html if you're trying a weird chrome. You should use an average of 312 chromes if you use the 1B recipe according to that. Or 400 if you straight up spam orbs.

Found out about this last week, used it 2 days ago to find out that it would average 80 chromes to get the colours on my gloves that I wanted. 3 chromes later rnjesus smiled and I was done. Figured I would use the rest of the chromes on my hat, and rolled the right colours in less than a stack.

Any advice on my character, WuTangMeatballsLEG? I'm trying to do Molten Strike, but the clear speed is just as bad as I've heard. (Please make projectile speed make the balls drop faster...) What do I even switch to, Blade Flurry? I'm waiting until level 72 to buy a Gemini Claw with high attack speed and crit. Don't know if I should go for a 6-link or some Essences of Horror for rings after that.

Playing a SRS Auromancer, do I need to get Shav's before I jump to Blood Magic? I tried it last night as the 50% reserved node which allowed me to run wrath, anger and envy which upped my dps significantly but I'm hella squishy with only 200hp after all the reserved and the chaos just bypasses. I kind of counteracted it by staying on the move and far away from mobs. Also, if anyone's giving up playing I'll take your shavs. Still 200c to go.

zxqv8 posted:Fun fact, with CWC your first icestorm comes out after .35s. With spell echo, you're stuck in place for two casts which take around .8 to .9s in total, depending on total cast speed from gear and tree. The first icestorm comes out .35s after SR starts casting. That's going to be substantially longer than .35s. This is why killing trash groups feels slow with SR CWC WI.

You can try a solaris lorica, it can be an okay stopgap if you really want ll without a shavs. A shavs is a huge upgrade from there though, lorica does literally nothing for you outside of that one property.

Obviously I've never timed it (and don't really have the tools or reaction time to do so), but this doesn't fit with what the CWC gem describes. It's every .35s while channeling, and while scorching ray has a wind up before the beam starts, you are channeling as soon as you hit the corresponding key. I wonder if maybe it's clarified somewhere by GGG, but not enough to actually go looking  I don't think it feels bad, I don't know why others do. I just hop in, spin the beam in a circle or half circle, and move on. But again, play whatever you think feels best. It's no skin off my back.

Wiki says "Cast while Channelling casts the trigger spell exactly on the listed interval regardless of the cast time of the channeled spell." which seems consistent with what I've found myself and what you say here.

Decided last night that I wanted to ditch Viper Strike and just do Lacerate w/ a conc gem for bosses, damage was comparable on PoB. Didn't like using it and I missed Viper. End up accidentally using a chrom instead of a fusing when I was trying to 6L the chest, losing my RRRGG/G combo that I needed to run Viper. Burned ~400 fusings and couldn't make it even 5L again. Burned all my chroms trying to make it the right colors again. Got frustrated and spent my last 55C on a min-roll 5L/6S Cospris with the colors I needed, putting me back to square one. I am good with money.

I still don't really understand how to do a breach. Do I just keep killing monsters or do I have to kill monsters on the edges or do I have to open the hands? As I find I kill them a bit, then it expands and rapidly contracts.

Do all of those things. The more you kill the longer it stays open, and the hands are just treasure chests that drop more splinters but you can only open while the breach stays open. Rare monsters from within the breach also drop splinters. They always close eventually, but when in doubt, kill poo poo.

Killing expands the ring. The moment you walk across the breach the time limit starts. You gain time limit (invisibly) by killing mobs, but it's harder and harder to get it as it expands until it runs out and goes away. You basically want to kill large clumps, rares, and open hands as much as possible. Rares/Hands give Splinters. 100 Splinters = Breachstone = Breachlord zone in the map device. For the Breachlords you do want to stay at the edge because your goal is to keep expanding the ring to the edge of the map, and sometimes you'll have to run width wise across the map while it's expanding height wise, so it helps to be at the edge so you can quickly move on. There the timer is visible at least, so you can see how close you are to failing. Rare mobs give a much bigger boost to the timer. Once the Breach reaches the Lord's portal, the timer stops and you can go in/out like a normal map and also go pick up loot and finish off any straggler mobs. Chayula > Uul > Elemental lords for difficulty of the Lords. If you fail the timer on the Lord you lose your Stone, and the timer is much tighter on Uul/Chayula than the Elemental ones.

Domains are basically a dps check at levels 70, 75, and 80. You have to kill whites in one, blues in two and rares with four hits or faster.

Scorching Ray has a base cast time of 0.5s. If you started "channeling" the instant you hit the button, then with base cast speed icestorm(or any other linked spell) would come out before the ray. This does not happen. The cast time on scorching ray (or any other channeled spell) has to complete before the spell starts channeling. Channeling is the act of maintaining the spell, not CASTING the spell. But yes, once the initial casting is complete the linked spell will cast every 0.35 seconds regardless of increased cast speed.

This would imply the first ice storm wouldn't appear until 0.85s with no cast speed buffs. The wiki for SR does say that it takes time equal to the cast speed for the beam to appear, but doesn't say that it isn't channeling. My experience stutter stepping with CWC SR makes me think you're wrong.

It is a pretty huge dps upgrade that is hard to replace. Which reminds me, I really need to craft a better pair myself lol I would also make sure you are leveling blood magic gems in your weapon switch, lvl 21 blood magic goes a long way (and you don't need to bother with quality) to not needing the reduced mana reserv on your helm. After that I would probably just save up for the Shavs, maybe try crafting some unset rings if you are feeling saucy with alts. +3 unset is pretty hard to hit, especially with decent other mods. I personally also switched in to using SR in my chest for better single target, and it can be pretty nice.

What are the current "unethical" builds that would be suited for the HC league, I'm levelling a tornado shot ranger (pathfinder) at the moment as it's always served me well in the past and seems like it's pretty cheap to start mapping with but some of the new skills look quite interesting.
