So my SRS + Zombies Necro Witch is still going pretty strong, though I'm still squishy and resorting to Purity of Elements. Just cleared Cruel Labyrinth and got Beacon of Corruption so my skulls and zombies explode in caustic clouds for 10% max HP per second damage. Looking at PoE DB for health values and factoring in my bonuses, my skulls have about 2.7k, so each skull's explosion cloud will do 270 DPS. Given I have a billion skulls everywhere, this is pretty snazzy with the large amount of fart clouds produced. Which leads to my question. What would a Less Duration Support on SRS theoretically do to my overall DPS numbers? I'm wondering if the sped up explosions would outweigh the loss of skull uptime for their melee hits. I'm inclined to believe it doesn't at all but I wanted to pose the question to people far more knowledgeable at the game than me.

I like monks/kung fu type characters a lot, is that something I could pull off with a scion? I see there are claw type weapons but the tree's not quite as intuitive as it is for necromancy.

You would have gotten more dps/survivability by taking commander of darkness and mistress of sacrifice in your first two labs, and then spirit eater. Beacon of corruption is sort of an extra cherry on top of the other good ascendancies.

DONT DO IT posted:Please critique my Gladiator Tank variant. There are a few max block shield builds out there but they seem to require some fairly specific gear. The main thing I want to do is walk into a group of enemies and let them kill themselves via riposte, molten shell, reckoning, and tempest shield. I'm thinking I'll use static strike with fortify support. I'm not sure how much int I will need for tempest shield though. This build doesn't give me much. You could really use some more life nodes & less miscellaneous defense. For reference, I'm on Act 7 with a Sword & Board Blade Flurry Gladiator in Harbinger league with an end-build of something like this. Note the 225% increased life in addition to more nodes dedicated to offense. Not saying what you're doing can't work, as your tree doesn't represent your entire character, but you'll be making it difficult for yourself.

Here is my current build Currently I'm sitting at +85% life, and at level 56 I can still facetank everything unless I'm up against a boss. Since it's been mentioned that I'm going to need WAY more life, I was wondering, where I should go from here?
I'm a two handed dps'er with no favored weapon yet. I figure when I settle on one I can max out of one those two handed weapon trees. But are there any other things I should look out for? Should I be stacking attack speed? Or a specific ailment like bleed or stun? Would it be smarter to take more lifeleech?

You really don't want less than 130%, probably less than 150% either. Less mana reserved means what is says on the box - with blood magic you'll be just reserving your health instead.

One more thing, how the gently caress does crit chance work in this game? I understand the difference between global and local crit chances, but I'm a bit confused how this works with say - the Resolute Technique node vs that little grouing of nodes (Disemboweling) opposite of it that would give you "+125% increased Melee Critical Strike Chance/+60% crit strike multiplier". Resolute Technique just makes it so you hit 100% of the time - totally easy to understand. But with Disemboweling an dit's other nodes... to me that reads that you'll crit 100% of the time if you're not affected by an ailment that lowers your crit chance. That can't possibly be right though, correct? Because if that's true why would you not spend 5 skill points to crit 100% of the time with +60% increased damage?

That's +125% as a multiplier of your weapon's base chance to crit. So if you have a 5% base chance, you'll have 5 + (5 * 1.25) = 11.25% crit chance.

Critical strike formula is skill or weapon critical strike chance added together with any +% to critical strike chance, multiplied by 100% added together with every increased critical strike chance occurrence.

Your weapons and abilities have a base crit chance which is enhanced by your increased mods added together times your more mods individually.

I stated why pretty clearly, if I take that node section, along with the +life one adjascent to it, I'd get a total of of +138% life for 10 skill points. I also mentioned that I'm a bit worried that I might cripple myself with Blood Magic because I'm afraid I can't leech as fast as I spend. There's also the "50% less mana reserved" thing I don't get and how that interacts with Blood Magic.

DemonMage posted:It's to condense poo poo so you can focus on the sections that are important to you. There's no way to create a table of contents and sublink that I'm aware of, or they might just do that. Which is why the Scorching Ray build above doesn't bother with a build thread and makes a google doc instead I imagine to help with that kind of problem. Of course then you don't have build feedback which can be very helpful for new builds that wind up not being as good as they claim, or builds that invalidated in a future patch. Or more likely a poo poo ton of useless posting that the build creator doesn't feel like wading through. Unless they changed it it's because the word limit on posts is quite low, but each spoiler has its own limit, so by spoilering you can create posts that are significantly over the supposed word limit

I see there are claw type weapons but the tree's not quite as intuitive as it is for necromancy. Unarmed has two options with Facebreakers (either Totems or regular AoE attacks), claws means you path towards Shadow area (so maybe play an AssSlayer?). Take the Life Wheel, VP and idk something like Frostblades and the 40% conversion nodes at Ranger? Should play itself with a Touch of Anguish.

After buying those nodes (plus another branch near me) I'll be sitting at +138% life. Right now I'm at a measily +85% @ level 56. Part of my logic is that I'll simply have to figure out how to find more, everything else seems really out of the way from where I am on the map. I noticed there was a massive cluster near the scion tree I could trek too, but apparently grabbing an ascendancy path covered up all those nodes so I can't even see them now.

(Go to pathofexile.com, log in, click your character name, then click 'passive tree' and post the URL here). The thing about the blood magic node is that if you take it then whatever auras you use will run off your life as well. Even with the 50% reservation reduction that'll probably still just wind up getting rid of the extra +35% you get from the BM nodes.

..btt posted:Just to reiterate for the newbies playing this league: SSF is basically a challenge mode for people who are very knowledgeable about the game. Not trading, even if it's just buying a few cheap items, makes your life significantly harder and some builds basically impossible. If you're new it's a pretty terrible idea. Fortunately you can leave it and join the regular harbinger leagues at will so it's not the end of the world if you started not realising that. Yeah, it's just that the economy is another system that needs to be learned. I have 2 chaos orbs now, and I don't know what should I do with them - that's why I'd like to use a SSF-functional build. Went with the ED one, it's kinda hilarious how it kills entire monster groups in 3 ticks - the first dotted monster, the second group, and finally everyone else.

I always trade with people that have the API showing their exact inventory. It's always annoying to do like a 100-200 jewelers/fusings/chrome deal with a guy that has a good ratio only to find out they have 57 in stock. So that means I get a likely worse ratio but I know that the person has what I want. sushibandit posted:you working off a published build or playing it by ear? this sounds amusing and the skill itself looks interesting I'm mostly going by ear, but I can publish a build later today.

Currency is pretty simple to buy. Go to currency.poe.trade (also accessible through the button at the top of poe.trade) pick the currency you want, the currency you have and then pick the person with a huge stock that has a slightly lower rate than the best. They'll be the flippers and so they usually respond pretty quickly. If you're wanting to move large volumes of currency, set up your own sell.

Of the various scorching ray/righteous fire builds going around, which would you say is the "best" ascendancy class for it? Berserk for 40% more damage good attack speed and warcrys replacing the need for life flasks? Chieftain for the highest health regen stacking endurance charges and 10% more strength for using Doon Cuebiyari? Inquisitor for consecrated ground bonuses and more attack/cast speed while moving around and easy MoM access? Guardian? though I know less about it.
