Clayshaper for the flat damage bonus.

I was looking at it but the damage bonus looks miniscule on PoB (~2%), feels like I'd be better off taking some purely defensive unique at that point.

Not sure how much Essence weapon would cost me early League either.

Most of those threads on the prior page don't work.

It's a good thing this doesn't release until 3p EST, because I would have done nothing at work today otherwise.

Tendrils -> CWC -> Arc -> Controlled destruction -> Lightning pen -> Added Lightning. Non-crit inquisitor still needs penetration.

I was going to do SR CWC Glacial Cascade with Elemental added as Chaos gear and double Pyre, but the new Lightning Tendrils with double Call of the Brotherhood does more DPS than that and doesn't need threshold jewels. So I'm wondering, what makes Lightning Tendrils CWC Arc better than just Tendrils alone? Is it just clear speed?

Back for more minion questions: how does Poacher's Mark work with minions?

Does the life/mana on hit go to the player or the minions? Does the player gain extra Flask Charges when minions kill poo poo? Between the Player, the minion that strikes the killing blow, and all the other minions - which one(s) get Frenzy Charges?

E: Also is there any way to activate Rampage (like X stacks average) on PoB?

Pretty much, yes. This also looks set to big their biggest ever, again.

But they're usually pretty good about these things, it should be up soon.

I don't even remember the last time that happened. Vendoring it gains you barely nothing, so you're just basement level trolling with barely an impact.

People who've done GC mines, what did you level with initially? And when did you switch over? I was wondering if fire nova would work for levelling since all the nodes are +ele and +mine damage, but I've never tried fire nova so I have no idea.

1-12: flame trap + freeze pulse
12-28: flame trap + lightning trap->multitrap->added lightning
28+: GC->minefield->remote mine->physical to lightning

Any other parts of the build worth sharing? Key uniques? What are you spending all those spare 4Ls on?

Essence worm+wrath, Inpulsa's broken heart (if you can get it), wise oak, vessel of vinktar, mind of the council. Might change depending on new uniques and what you can get your hands on.

It might not be better, I just want to do it.

I took a fairly long break, have they reverted Warding flasks cancelling out map curses?

Cool thanks, probably my favourite stealth change.

HH was fun but it's kinda boring after awhile, and I hate hate hate HATE getting the flicker-smoke rare mod.

edit: oh and on the build I was playing, the extra life I'd get from certain rare mods would gently caress up my very carefully balanced CWDT procs by pushing my life over the threshold where the self-damage from heartbound loop would no longer cause me to proc savage hit, and I'd die in almost an instant :v:

hh is only fun if you have the right build for it imo. If your build is slow by nature it's not going to be that great. And it ramps up in fun the more poo poo you can kill. I'd say the optimal usage for a hh is a build that clears the screen in a second or two and you're running a fully sextented giant pack size zana breach map. If you aren't doing that might as well sell it.

What are some builds that scale hard with a necro aurabot but also allow you to solo decently and can kill bosses?

Anyone got a good archer build theorycrafted out using that new goddess turret gem? I think I'd like to start Deadeye and transition into Pathfinder once I get Vinktar (or equivalent flask wealth, as it were).

its probably equally good for every bow skill, iirc it works out to ~35% more mod while turreting and probably more if you have to move ever

alternatively just make a curse on hit setup with it

Welp. 15 bucks for a tab is a lot. But it is something I've always wanted.

If I had to guess, you click on each map icon and a fold-out menu appears with up to 72 maps. It'll probably be sortable like the Divination Card tab and give you the option to only show maps you have.

I guess I'm spending 15 bucks on this thing the second it appears in the store.

$15 is .... a lot... I guess you could consider it paying for the expansion?

How soon did previous special tabs go on sale? I'm all for the map tab, but I can wait

1. buy a supporter pack
2. realize you have 400+ points now and nothing in the store looks good
3. buy a map tab

I think at this point the special tabs have cut down my need for premium tabs considerably. As it stands in Harbinger I had like, 10-12 tabs that were not even named sitting in the back of my stash.

I could probably get by with like 6 premium tabs assuming the map tab holds fragments too.

I'd never have paid that much for it, which is a shame because it's so irreplaceably useful. I think the currency tab is the closest thing PoE has to a pay-to-win element; having one tab all your currency can fit into makes stash management so much faster.

The only good race pace is suicide pace, and today looks like a good day to die
I'm at $60 worth of stash tabs invested into this game, and I guess this is going to make it $75. More than I'd usually pay for a base game but when we get to expansions I guess $75 is still under budget.

I'm not sure I'd ever pay for a cosmetic mtx at any price, but the way they are currently priced makes the decision way easier.

FWIW I think the maps tab will be useful enough that everyone is going to buy it, and they priced it as such. Considering the development effort that had to go into adding sub-tabs I don't think it's a money grab.

I was looking for cool Elementalist Witch builds to play and came across this Clayshaper / Primordial 'Golemancer' build. Has anyone here tried it? How is it?

Are the Primordial jewels typically expensive?

Yeah, that's a good point. And I just had a game refunded on Steam because I ended up with a free key from elsewhere, so there's $20 I can throw at stash tabs.

Really good but expensive for a league starter. Required jewels to get it started is like 200c.
