I want to see more shaper/elder item stats so I can sorta know what to expect from them.

Is there a site that lists all the possible affixs?

Does anyone have a shrapnel shot tree I can have a look at?

I found this one, but a second opinion is always good.

quote:

By the way, we've received a lot of feedback about the difficulty of the rare bats that spawn from the Abyss cracks. We've looked at what the problem is and we believe that it derives from the Lightless Grubs that are spawned by Pitworms. We'll be improving this by making it so that grubs no longer have 'spirits'.

If tougher Abyss monsters die near an Abyss rare that doesn't have full spirit charges, then they gain a spirit charge from the monster. Because grubs can be spawned by the Pitworms indefinitely this means the usually limited resource of souls was being granted over and over by repeatedly spawning worms. This means that the bats could dive repeatedly, healing repeatedly as all Abyss Rares have the same stat as the Abyss Helmet where they recover some life when they expend a spirit charge.

We're also adding a short cooldown to the spirit-spending dive skill to reduce how frequently it can be used even when there are lots of spirits being absorbed.

Additionally, we also have some visual improvements coming for Abysses in low-light scenarios. We will also be adding better signaling for when a crack starts moving again. We don't have an estimate date for the visual changes yet, but the other changes listed above should be live within a day.

We're keeping track of all other feedback and bug reports and will be patching hotfixes throughout the week. We hope that you're otherwise enjoying the Abyss League and all the new content! Don't forget that you can still participate in Twitch Drops and get a free helmet skin until the end of this week. For more information on how to participate, click here.

Easiest one to scale is just Doomfletch Prism on your basic Pathfinder tree, with chance to bleed, Ele dam, conc effect, phys proj and mirage archer as well as two Collateral Damage and using a Drillneck to take advantage of the fact Shrapnel Shot always pierces, giving you a ton of bonus damage. Slam anything with added phys into a Stygian Belt and any sockets you can find leftover from the two for collateral damage and you're good to go.

It'll be low on health, so bring a decoy totem for mobs to blurf on.

Mathil did a one for Legacy that looked like this, though his used a Lioneye's Fall jewel in the far right socket to pick up the Claw nodes and convert those to bow, plus it's not been update for the new skill tree apart from moving the Vaal pact:

Specters bulls going well so far. They are totems that move themselves!

Ok .

It's kind of nuts how effective elemental equilibrium with cast curse on hit ball lighting is. I should have been doing that with my old flame totem guys .

Or does it not work with the second totem node.

I'm pretty sure it works without doing any damage, it's like curse on hit right?

The background is a mask to a texture, that texture is offset on the x and y axes by elapsed Time since the application started. The texture coordinates are based on the pixel position on the screen rather than being relative to the object, so the masks all share the background image in the same position as if they're Stan's shirt from Monkey Island.

The shader for 'celestial' effects or whatever you wanna call 'em uses a mask to render the stars as a texture that only applies to areas being masked. Think of it as the sky effect being a big seamless texture that's constantly moving, and anything drawn to the mask is punching a hole to the texture, so when you move the celestial object it moves the hole you're viewing through across the texture.

The background is a large texture from which the item icon picks a small chunk depending on it's coordinates on the screen and time (for the scrolling).

For my spectre/skeleton summoner brothers I highly, highly recommend a Baelfire mainhand. It costs a chaos and gives you a level 25(!!!) scorching ray. Socket it with totem, efocus, and burn damage. I run EE and double curses, and with full stacks of SR a mob has potentially -157 to fire resistance. poo poo is crazy yo.

Are the totem spectres only worth running if you have the shield to give them two totems?

I'm using VP and Damage on Full Life following some build I saw and sometimes my HP just won't top off even leaching inside packs of mobs or using my health flasks, usually by very tiny amounts like pictured.

Am I missing something or is it bugged out? Usually I wouldn't notice/care much about that but for once I AM using a Damage on Full Life support

I'm a slayer with VP and it still seems active even with blood rage active but I'll double check later.

No love for your made-up things.
I'm doing MoM Trickster ED/Contagion and it's fun as gently caress. I came into a jeweller's touch and now I have to choose a chest armor but I'm seeing so many options. Any suggestions?

Also, does anyone know if flat added chaos to spells affects my damage? Doesn't seem like it would.
