I tried cooking up a pretty straightforward SRS necromancer since I have a +3 fire/6l staff lying around. With hatred + anger + ele equilibrium the damage was middling at best. Clears maps ok, but falls apart against bosses that are heavy on aoe because it's impossible to maintain a full swarm while keeping myself safe. I think I'm gonna give up on trying to dethrone RF as the best cheap hc end game boss killer.

explosive arrow is a good HC life-based build. there are ranger and marauder variants. to get the most out of it you'll still need some dosh for a kaom's heart, but there are much cheaper alternative chest armor options that will serve just fine as you get into mapping, and none of the other items should cost more than a chaos or two

To be fair, high end life gear gets pretty expensive too. The problem is, high end life gear still gives you a lower EHP pool than even midrange CI gear, the latter of which is way cheaper. Here's hoping there's a fix coming because I sorta like being able to mash flasks to survive in an emergency.

CI also has VP and Ghost Reaver right next to it, the trifecta of which is super powerful. But yeah, my CI Raider has 9k, soon to be 10k ES with only 88% ES from the tree. My life based Slayer has 150% from the tree and can't break 6k even with Koam's.

I'm trying to make my own Magma Orb build because I got real bored of WI, question though, does projectile damage work okay with it? Was thinking of grabbing Brinerot Whalers because ~200ES + Light Res + Projectile Damage sounds like a sweet deal for the cost and I'm gonna have to spend most of my currency on a Presence of Chayula/Regret Orbs and other decent items. Alternatively if there's some other unique boots I've forgotten I'd love a suggestion.

Yeah, projectile mods work fine for magma orb. It's one of the few skills that actually got a big upgrade from the 2.6 threshold jewels. If it weren't for the inevitability of reflect deaths, I'd be planning on running it instead of RF for my first 3.0 hc character. Something I learned from screwing around with it is that with slower projectiles and enough aoe, you can double or triple hit against single targets. True to the chaining tag, each bounce is a new projectile. The damage potential is extremely high for bosses, better than any other direct damage spell I could find. Without slower projectiles it's a pretty solid pack clearer. I was running it as a life inquisitor on pledge of hands, so the rest of your build sounds way different from mine. It's definitely a viable spell though.

Devor posted: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. I confirmed it just last night via my defunct mines saboteur that had barely any cast speed. I even linked it with a curse instead of WI since those have an obvious instant effect. Linked spells don't start coming out until the ray does. Once you have a bunch of cast speed so that SR can rotate freely, it will feel fast because the ray comes out fast too. McFrugal fucked around with this message at 21:03 on Apr 18, 2017 |

I've still barely started plotting it out properly though, wondering what Lab Enchants I should get and such. I bought a cheap +40% damage Hubris and rolled it with Alts for a bit until I got over 300 ES with Regal/Craft for now, because it was only like 6c - the cheapest +chaining enchant was 40c in comparison so I guess one of those might be a worthwhile upgrade later.

I was reading several pages back and noticed people talking about the economy and exalted orbs. Someone made a comment that a small group of people may have discovered a crafting recipe or other use for eorbs, and that they were sucking them all up. Does that happen in this game? Recipes or other obscure mechanics will exist that simply aren't published by GGG, leaving them out there for people to randomly stumble upon (and immensely profit from)?

Most (all?) recipes aren't disclosed by GGG they just are simple enough to be found naturally pretty quickly. Some recipes, like one for a particular unique item exist for a longer time before being discovered. In theory an exalt recipe could exist, but the claims that people know what it is are dubious.

You mean The Goddess Unleashed? I don't really get the point of it having such a complicated and expensive recipe when it's not good. The only thing it's useful for is skills that ignite but aren't weapon skills or spells, so like... fire trap? But there are better trap weapons.

Huh, how about that then. Must feel good for me cuz I'm on an inquisitor with instruments of virtue and pious path and always have like 55% or more increased cast speed. Good to know in any case. I wonder if it's any different with other channeling skills that come out immediately like flameblast or wither.

Except...my SR has a cast time of 0,39sec, so with 0,35 for the that means icestorm shouldn't appear until 0,74seconds after I click button. But using a timer and releasing RMB after holding it down for 0,4sec produces icestorm. Holding it down for about 0,7sec produces two distinct icestorms.

Pretty cool though. That's dealing almost as much damage as the oro's sacrifice raider I tried to do MS with, but with like 3k more hp.

Sounds like there's something weird going on with cast speed and channeled skills, perhaps Scorching Ray in particular. How do you count distinct icestorms though? Try it with something more obvious, like fireball or a curse. Once the servers come back up anyway.

I've been playing around with this and got my SSF Firestorm/Zombie Witch up through the end of the game and started poking at maps. The map stuff is interesting but it feels like I'm slowly petering out in ability to do things after I got pasted by a few map bosses, and I'm thinking about rolling into something else. I haven't picked up many especially interesting uniques but I did find a Death's Harp and a Facebreaker, so something that used those would be nice, but I'm also not really that locked into staying SSF so I could always hop off it and buy stuff as long as it's cheap. Anyone have any suggestions? My profile if anyone cares.

I think you'd need to run pretty particular builds to break too far into maps with SSF. Unless you're very lucky the best you'll be running is a 5l, and hitting end game with that is a pretty rare feat even when trading for gear. Facebreaker warchief totems might be possible as SSF but you'd be losing a huge chunk of damage with no access to +phys damage from uniques. You'd have to take it on jewelry regardless and make up life/resists elsewhere.

I'm pretty sure 2H Chieftan Totemdad could clear everything outside of Guardians/Shaper as SSF without too much trouble. There are no required uniques and it can get by with a 5L up through T15s.

Yeah, that's what I mean though. You've gotta go with one of the few really high yield builds. 2h warchief and flameblast totem are pretty much the top of the list for straightforward entry level builds. It'd be hell trying to SSF the endgame on top of a build that you just kinda cooked up on your own unless you really knew what you were doing.
