Vasudus posted:Biscos was a lot more justified when it was a 1ex item. At 15ex you would be foolish to keep it. You're giving up one of the biggest damage spots for something that requires thousands of maps to break even. Even if you don't need the damage, go run a Sadimas for the same return and pocket the sale money. Or spend a few ex on a nice shaped amulet with flat quant on top of life and resists and other useful things

How reliable of a leech item would Berek's Grip be? I'm running an EK/BV/Lightpoacher full conversion inquisitor shortly, so things *should* be shocked/frozen all the time. I don't want to run Warlord's on a ring.

Hell, it's even sitting unused on a character that I only occasionally log on to, while all my other characters are forced to use other neckpieces. Sold mine today for 16ex and it went in less than 5 minutes pretty early in the morning. Magus42 posted:Click bulk item exchange up top. Thank you.

I'm trying to get my shaper orb that will turn a t8 into a t13, but I did the first 7 two weeks ago. Do I need to spread the grey or the black influence on the board?

If you're getting your last few shaper orbs I recommend just buying a shaped version of a yellow map that's already under Elder influence.

Ciaphas posted:Well Lightpoacher is amazing lmbo Yeah, it fuckin owns Wanted to share this build I've been working on that I tried to conceive on my own (using a lot of general wisdom from other builds) that's based around making the best use of Shroud of the Lightless. lightlesstron: https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/voltron131/characters I wanted to play EK, but obviously the standard Inquisitor doesn't work since it wastes the main benefit of the Shroud, so I landed on Pathfinder instead and its going really well! To sorta make up for not being Inquisitor I tri-balanced my resists for maximum Wise Oak efficiency and that combined with like 10 abyss jewels seems to be getting me some pretty decent deeps. If I'm doing the math right, with my flask effectiveness and the Nature's Boon node it also gives me the equivalent of like +5% max all resistance so its not even that squishy. Not that it's tanky by any means, and bossing above low red maps is probably not advised, but as a map clearer its absolutely killing it. One thing to note is that the +30% cold resistance on the Hrimsorrows is the only required single resistance, everything else can be just + to all resist. So I could balance the cold resist with a perfect Brightbeak (switching out the rings) for maximum go fast, but it doesn't really seem worth it right now. The Doryani's gives an absolute ton of damage since there isn't much % increased scaling on the tree and I don't wanna give it up yet. For leech I'm sustaining totally off of Assassin's Mark kills for mana, which surprisingly works fine in like 95% of situations thanks to the decent mana pool I have from the scaling on the Shroud. When I stack up a bunch of Lightpoacher charges I can basically start clearing just by shield charging, which not only is fast but also uses like no mana. For bosses I just manually cast Warlord's like a goddamn noob. I'd love to have the boot leech enchant of course but I opted to use Bubonic Trail boots to keep with the abyss theme and those get pricey as hell if you want an enchant. Overall, I'm loving this build and would def recommend something similar to anyone with like a dozen ex burning a hole in their pockets. Worth noting though that the actual best use of Shroud of the Lightless is probably to stack another penetration gem on top of it and go like molten strike or something.

So regarding Bisco. If you have one and don't need the neck slot for your particular build or the currency you'd get from selling it now, put it on and sell it later when you do need the currency. If you're sitting on 16ex and can fit it in your build, buy it and use it. Sell it again when you want to use that currency for something else. Apart from a minor dip over Christmas, It hasn't gone down in value at any point and it's probably not going to until the end of league is announced.

I just went ES / low life on my ED occultist. I have Shavronne's Wrappings, rares focusing on ES, and the power from within Jewel. I also found a unique ring with decent resists and some bonuses while on low life. I know there's a very expensive low life ES necklace, but I'll never be able to afford it. Are there any other uniques I should look into? Right now I'm sitting at 6k ES, but I see videos of people with like 8-9k. Also, is the super frosty ES shield that looks like it's bleeding into the health portion of the globe just from huge amounts of ES, CI, or something else entirely?

The orb changes based on your total Life:ES values. It's supposed to give you a better idea of how important it is. A famous HC streamer died in the top occultist spot in Turmoil because he forgot he was CI and not hybrid anymore, so get used to thinking ES=life! Generally speaking from now on all your gear choices should be with ES in mind. You'll get up to 8-9k eventually.

There is a cheap version of that ES necklace that will at least prevent stuns. Probably want that and a rare shield with lots of ES.

Veil of the Night should be updated in some way to not be total garbage. If there were ever zones/maps that didn't include elemental damage it would maybe have a place, but there's always a mix of phys/ele everywhere you go, so it will never get any use.

I came up with a lazy HC SSF build that actually kicks rear end and is mostly all defense nodes and trash gear. Cast While Channeling + Charged Dash + Desecrate + Volatile Dead + Cascade Support You'd need a five link, or it works well with the Oni sword or Tabula. I'm using the Oni since I'm SSF. How it works is: - Go get a high level, high HP spectre if you can - optionally put down a Decoy Totem at the pack you want to kill - hold down the Charged Dash button in the pack's direction This will drop piles of corpses (15 at a time, some of them will be your spectre type+level) and then fire off 9 Volatile Dead. As long as you keep Charged Dash held, you'll keep cycling between the two spells, carpet bombing the area. Scorching Ray would dramatically increase damage but this already shreds everything and Charged Dash gives you an always-ready escape, or lets you advance as you slay. You can tell when it's safe to dash forwards because you'll see the Volatile Dead orbs will stop homing in on enemies. Since Volatile Dead explosions scale with corpse life it requires no damage nodes (I grabbed Arsonist since it includes a nice life regen for some reason) and holding down charged dash takes practically no mana at all so I run 70% aura reservation. For extra tanking I grabbed the minion nodes near Templar so my Zombies / Stone Golem / Spectre / Animate Guardian are all beefed up and survive most bosses.

regulargonzalez posted:Clever. Necro ascendency I assume? I was building a Scion towards Deadeye without realizing that Spark was nerfed, but since my buffs were pretty much all defensive I was able to pivot into this build. I'm thinking with Scion I might take the ascendancy for the second Stone Golem, can never have too much taunting/regen. Holyshoot posted:video? I'm at work but I googled and found a video of someone using Cast While Channel + Charged Dash + Volatile Dead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Hq16FYbnvc So, my build plays like that, but Cascade gives 3 times the corpses, 3 times the explosions, 3 times the orbs. Edit: Also I can't overstate how much damage it'll do when you put down a Decoy Totem... the range for the totem and the Desecrate are about the same, so all the mobs walk into this perfect killzone. Laser-targeted carpet bombing is the best way to describe it. Zero VGS fucked around with this message at 20:57 on Jan 8, 2018 |

Is the +1 VD Corpse enchant not in PoB right now? I want to add it to see how much of a DPS increase it is, but it's not an option even when I click the "all skills" checkbox in the enchant window.Zero VGS posted:I was building a Scion towards Deadeye without realizing that Spark was nerfed, but since my buffs were pretty much all defensive I was able to pivot into this build.

If you run two golems you're better off having them be two different golems, unless you really really want another source of taunt.

The Wonder Weapon posted:This looks fairly effective and real, real boring. It's not super fun when you're playing it safe in the storyline, but when you have to fight boss battles in arenas, it's very interesting because you're planning out your dodges in advance with Charged Dash, which doesn't feel like any other kind of mobility in the game since you're stuck in place while prepping an instant teleport. The one downside to Charged Dash is that there doesn't seem to be any way to cancel it, so occasionally you'll see a situation where you're channeling in place and get ambushed, but the place you're committed to dash to is also bad news. McFrugal posted:Golem buffs don't stack with themselves, unfortunately. If you run two golems you're better off having them be two different golems, unless you really really want another source of taunt. Thanks, I had assumed they'd stack. Guess a Chaos Golem for more phys reduction then. I just got Soul of Tukohama which synergizes very well with channeling since you're stuck in place.

If you ever want to buy weapon effects, grab a supporter pack with the effect you want - support pack weapon effects apply to both weapons if you're dual-wielding, while normal effects are per-weapon which sucks and is stupid. Abyss Jewels are utterly insane and make every build imaginable actually workable. Next league when they remove them is going to be lovely.

I got like $80 worth of coins a few years back with a purchase of a GTX card, which makes it kinda bullshit that all these packs can only be bought with real money... they should offer some without included coins that I can buy with coins I have. GGG already got paid for these, after all.

I got a pack because it came with the same dollar amount worth of coins so that I could then later buy tabs with the coins, and also because my weapons were boring. As a bonus I've got a cape now.

Here's a quick video of my actual build... my gems are kind underleveled since I changed the build 4 hours of playtime ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOLFBN5GITI By the way, any idea for a better 6th link than Poison? I can't come up with anything else and I don't want to blow through Chromatics trying to get 3B 3G on the Oni. Edit: Nevermind, Poison doesn't even work with that. I switched out Oni for a Scepter and my 5-L body armor. Doing way more damage now and I'm able to smoke the Abyss stuff now since this attack is perfect for bombing the rifts quickly.
