Agreed. Kaom's locations have not a single interesting and fun thing about them. Couldn't care less about the fire resist need.

Now Daresso's locations, drat. I wouldn't mind if any non-Labyrinth location in game was perpetually narrated by Daresso.

its a shame that dominus doesnt have any role in act 8, because he has always been an underutilized villain

back when the game ended on act 3, he was a great capstone to the story, but he was never introduced properly

when the game was ending on act 4, he was sidelined by the purity rebellion crew

and now, in 3.0, he's introduced properly, but he barely has any role past act 3, and it's avarice who gets all the cool lines

Fair, but how many supports would really help it? It's Chaos, Area, Duration. So that's what, Void Manipulation (green), Inc/Conc (blue) and maybe less duration (red) if that even works. You might not even need all those sockets.

Less duration probably doesn't work because it doesn't affect skills with infinite durations like RF, but rapid decay does. You'd want efficacy, void manipulation, conc effect, inc AoE, rapid decay, generosity. That's five off-colors.

No, do it but charge like $100 so only whales will buy it and it probably won't affect the economy.

5l's or tabulas are cheap anyways and good enough for 90% of the content (or more if you get good)

e. Trying to put together a storm burst build in PoB, and I'm thinking ED/Contagion might be an easier way to go until someone less poo poo at making trees comes along with a build for me to copy.

Just another jackass on the Internet
Think quite a few people here are going to roll with that build to start. A few pages back someone said how to level with it until you get the helm (which won't be the most expensive thing in the world, but probably not something you're going to be able to trade for on day 1 or 2).

yeah its good but don't expect to actually get a baron early lol, its a pretty popular build and those helms are going to be $$$$$$$$

if you haven't played poe at all you should relax and take it easy

It's very solid and it will work very well even without The Baron until you can get one. Uberelite got top5 in the two recent HC races with this build doing it solo selffound (aka not buying anything from anyone)

That build will be perfect for you then. Don't worry about the Baron helmet until far into late game, it's just the icing on the cake once you're high level and can stack a whole buttload of Strength.

Deaths Oath + Blight. Might use DA CRANK. Occultist w/ beacon of ruin and dual curse.

I've been away from PoE for a couple months waiting for the new patch to drop -- is there an actual written guide to the Baron SRS up anywhere for the new patch, or is it just that video and older SRS guides?

I'm old and cranky and hate video content.

Patch Notes posted:

Added a new Strength Support Gem - Ruthless Support: Makes every third skill deal significantly more damage, and stun for longer.
...
Chill no longer slows enemies by a fixed amount for a variable duration. Now, Chill will slow enemies for a duration of 2 seconds by an amount based on the Cold damage dealt to the enemy. A purely Cold hit which removes 10% of an enemy's life will slow that enemy by 30% for 2 seconds, scaling linearly down to 0% at no Cold damage dealt.
...
Added Cold Support and Added Lightning Support have been buffed, bringing them on par with the Added Chaos support gem. Added Cold Support now does 35.1% more damage at gem level 20.
...
Frostbreath: Now has (26-32) to (36-42) added Physical Damage, and (26-32) to (36-42) added Cold Damage.

Welp, time to give a perma-freeze Weight of the Empire Assassin build a shot.

I'm also pretty sure that Ghazzy's SRS guide is pretty much Uberelite's 2.6 mayhem character on the 3.0 tree.

He has some leveling tips, but doesn't touch on making a +1 fire wand or a +1 minion helmet which are probably not a bad idea.

my legacy facebreaker totem guy has witchfire up all the time (that's a lie, i'm normally too lazy to actually press buttons on it), and I've tested curse on hit gloves with it. Both work fine! I'm a big fan of gruthkul's.


It has the added SC benefit that you don't need to waste time casting aura's or golems after you die!

e. I'm also realizing that i've never done baron srs, sounding like a good build even with the small necro/srs nerfs. Don't think I actually did srs at all during legacy anyways.

Honestly I think an essence craft helm is going to beat out BoR most of the time for Scion Hierophant. Martyr of Innocence + Essence of Horror helm seems really good, you don't give up your chest armor, can even run Kaom's if you want to spend the money, and the templar staff wheel on the left side makes it very easy to cap block/spell block in such a build. I'm not sure if the increased fire damage and fire pen procs on that staff will transfer to your totems, though.
