No changes to reflect? I guess casters are still hosed without Vaal Pact if they aren't an Elementalist or use Sybil's. The Pantheon stuff isn't gonna do anything. Reflect was still noticeable even on my Vaal Pact CI Inquisitor on Legacy with Incandescent Heart and Atziri's Promise. Also Infernal Blow is pretty ridiculous now. You can easily get an effective 100% monster life dealt as fire damage as a Slayer because of the culling (an universal 25% more multiplier for hits) and the new Damage on Full Life gem, plus free melee splash. I don't know if I would want to play a name lock skill though.

I would think that BLS would be straight up better since you don't get stats out of using a second one and could use something like Doryani's Catalyst or Lycosidae offhand.

I'm still undecided whether I want to go for something stock like Doomfletch Inquisitor, or something crazy like ignite Doomfletch. Ignites are now based from your base damage, not counting any increased or more damage, and Doomfletch really gets insane base damage. Add Avatar of Fire or Hrimburn, maybe Call of The Brotherhood, and you get great ignites for little investment compared to what you'd be using anyway.

Can anyone figure out a way to do a build with the new Death's Oath? 450 base dps is a lot for a skill that's always on and you don't have to do anything to use, but aside from Generosity no red gems affect it at all and getting >3 non-red sockets on an Astral Plate base just isn't realistic.

TheRat posted:I dont remember the exact changs, but Kild was very unhappy about his build so maybe he can fill in. It should just be a 8% or so damage nerf to any build using the Sprinkler (and open up the left hand slot for shields or southpaw builds) unless someone made a build where having it as an off-hand weapon is more effective than using two sprinklers, which at a glance I can't really imagine  HOWA lost around 22% of its damage compared to dual wielding them in 2.6.

How big is the righteous fire nerf? I was thinking about doing RF for the first time this league but if it's gonna feel super bad I'd rather find something else.

Dramatika posted:How big is the righteous fire nerf? I was thinking about doing RF for the first time this league but if it's gonna feel super bad I'd rather find something else. The RF nerf (which was already in on beta) is counterbalanced by better support gem options, passive nodes, and the change to MoM (it works on degens like RF). I think it's better than before -or at least easier to get up and running. RF totems did eat a nerf though.

Oh wait yeah those nerds to SR are on beta already. Which means my PoB stuff is still accurate. Nevermind! Edit: also the death's oath wording sounds like it just needs sockets period, like that meatball axe. Using the vorici trick you can get a crapload of offcolors if you wanted to. Maybe a deaths oath / blight occultist?

Gettin' psyched, haven't played in months now, going into all the new content blind. Still thinking about necro srs or something, maybe ed trickster. That's a decent buff to CA too. All the new supports and poo poo are too much to take in at once though, I'm letting someone else theorycraft poo poo for me.

It's still over 2000 jeweler's orbs to get 5 offcolors on an astral plate with the Vorici trick. For the 5th socket it's 80 jewelers per attempt * 10% chance of offcolor * 50% chance of offcolor you need.

Exactly how bad of an idea is going KB wander for a league starter? Is it early map playable with a sort of lovely wand or do you absolutely have to spend 50ex on your wand for the build to be playable?

It's loving horrible until you're like lvl70-80 and have a decent wand. Do yourself a favour and use a bow early on and respec to wands once you're ready. It's not a very big respec.

It's totally playable until red maps with p much whatever you found on the go + maybe a bit of currency thrown at the market for a right wand. Might die a bit tho.

I have a list of builds that I want to play in 3.0, I play hardcore so there's a good chance I'll get to try a bunch of them  Frost Blades Raider - I really like raiders and I really like the feel of frost blades as a skill. Baron SRS - I had a little go with this in turmoil SSF and quite liked it before I died to a bluescreen, would like to see it in endgame Scorching Ray/RF Inquisitor - All the fire all the time CWC Storm Burst Berzerker - its a new skill and looks awesome, ive always liked ball lightning so probably with that Something bleed gladiator - sunder or blade flurry, its just a really easy build thats a nice go to. If all goes well and I get some decent currency together then I'll probably make a KB Wander and finally go and do shaper/guardians/uber atziri.

can you make it over to vaal pact with a berzerker while doing a caster build? Seems like a gently caress of a lot of travel to take advantage of the leech

I have to admit, the CWC storm burst berzerker sounds fun. I know at least one of my characters is going to end up being some sort of vaal pact berserker. I enjoy lazily facetanking things, and boy howdy does ultraleech really help with that.

Less duration and rapid would not work for the same reason it doesn't work with RF. It is a DOT but has no duration unless you add a spell totem (which I don't think will work either as the 'spell' isn't cast but is always on). GGG already confirmed generosity wouldn't work. Pretty sure the only supports that work are Inc AOE, conc effect and void manip. Nerffed to hell decay will do better DPS.
