So after being horribly burned by the D3 necro, can I make a good pet centric build in this game that centers around permanent pets? And not just spammimg ones that live for 6 seconds because goddamn is that tedious.

It shouldn't. It should only convert damage for its own skill effect.

Well, Golems pretty much require the Primordial jewels in order to be your primary, right?

No, but if you're using Phys to Lightning to get the conversion on Charged Dash all the way to 100%, you'll be converting 50% of EK to Lightning.

Threw together a tree for an Oroflicker Slayer for 3.0 here. Anyone who's done the build before with feedback? PoB says I can hit a 98% ignite chance :supaburn:

It is always better to have more movespeed because your charge time is how long it takes to walk 60 units in a straight line. Just charge again if you want more hits on one guy.

I don't think the numbers have ever been released but its estimated to be around 5000 before 3.0. Not sure with the nerfed totem life.

Anyone got any recommendations for an archer-esque starter, my verrrrrrrry first character back in technical alpha (who I'd like to stress was god awful) was basically a walking shotgun with chaining shots and I'd like to use something like that again but that's hopefully end game viable

The short version I can give you right now is to go elemental, either Doomfletch's Prism stacking physical damage on gear and using Chance to Bleed support, or Windripper and either Added Cold or Added Lightning. Both of these are buffed quite a bit with this patch, so old guides might not be optimal.

I can throw together a quick tree based on what I would recommend for softcore: raider based on which version you want - or maybe another ascendancy if you have something in mind already; provided I have time left over after I am done with my own tinkering.

Death's Oath is changed but it's still not very good. Its free damage I suppose but even with the 4 applicable gems (5? with generosity) and assuming aura effectiveness is a more multiplier it's barely 40k.

Booo, that was the one skill I was excited to make a build around.

Oh well, PoB doesn't seem to add the %life damage into its calculations anyway so it's not like I'm getting an accurate picture of how it'd perform.

I'd wait to see how severe the nerf is first, they could nerf that by 66% and it would still be the best spell in the game.

Yeah I'm not worried about a nerf (unless it's absolutely ridiculously huge anyway), I'm worried about them leaving it out for launch

Also I've been building it as a Life-regen Jugg and drat has it emphasized how useless flat life regen on items is. Hmmm yes I'm regening 2k hp/sec, I sure would love to waste an affix on a whole extra 5!

Flat life regen, thorns, and a few other affixes are deliberately bad to dilute the affix pool.

Kinda wish thorns and flat life had some consolation prize tier modifiers, like have 30 regen per second as the top tier instead of... 7.

The final 3.0 skill tree is out and Path of Building has been updated.

They went and slapped %Increased Damage with Ailments on just about every physical damage node. Bleed and Poison are now looking pretty drat good (again...)!

E: I'm so happy, Poison Blade Flurry has great dps again. I've got my starter!

I'm probably missing something obvious but is there any reason NOT to go for poison with physical builds that don't go for ele conversion now? Or Bleed I guess if that's any good, can't imagine it being better than poison though.

There never was a reason not to go for poison on non-conversion phys builds.

True, but Poison was also strong as gently caress before. It was hard to tell whether it was meant to be a no-brainer choice or if it just happened to become one due to the mechanics of Poison. With the rework and adding ailment damage you'd think they might want to more clearly separate 'physical' and 'poison'. Compare it to poisoning from Chaos spells which is often very much a choice, for example after Decay came on the field even pre-nerfed Poison was still something you only threw in for bosses in many ED builds, and Poison Support currently simulates very underwhelmingly compared to other options on my current Dark Pact build in PoB (granted I'm gonna have to rejig it now that PoB was updated to support the %Life scaling so it's not optimized). It's a bit strange if Poison is now back to default status for physical builds.

How effective is Rearguard? You'd need to have a Rumi's too, what else can you do to get an okay amount of block? Maybe Bringer depending on your build?
