 The only question is, very strict or uber-strict? On another note, I'm trying to complete all content this league, for the first time ever, and kind of hitting a wall in knowing what to upgrade next. I seem to be pushing best with my Ngahamu Cyclone Slayer, but still feel a little bit squishy in some fights. That probably wouldn't be a problem if I could learn the fights and 'git good', but alas. Would anyone mind making a recommendation on how I may want to respect my guy or what purchases to look for? I have roughly 15ex to spend.

Mo_Steel posted:e: Actually, is Mjolner's on hit trigger only on hit with Mjolner or is it any on-hit? Also grants Skills Chain +1 times which seems good with this skill. Now this really tickles my funnybone. Double arc mjolner shield throw. Mo_Steel posted:e2: Looks like only when Mjolner does the hit when dual wielding so I assume the same is true of Shield Throws: "Dual wielding: While dual wielding, socketed lightning spells will only cast on hit with the Mjölner they are socketed in." That's when you dual wield mjolners. It doesn't say "hits with this weapon" so it definitely should work.

Your dude looks pretty solid to me, where are you finding yourself feeling "squishy?" It's probably a matter of mechanics rather than stats. Things I would personally do: ditch lightning golem and/or run a low level golem on CWDT, support leap slam with faster attacks, ditch enduring cry. Here's my take on it, was able to run pretty much every end game encounter (map mods excluded). https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/dyzzy/characters [dyzzyAssBalls]

Thank you for taking a look, faster attacks + leap slam is a good idea, and I'll look at your guy to see how else to improve. As to where he feels squishy, a few map mod combinations have been problems, especially on boss fights, and also the chimera fight worked me hard enough that I figured in addition to learning the mechanics, I should probably re-evaluate my setup

On my scion I actually liked the combo of arakaali pantheon w/ the DoT bonus (triggers every time you proc IC while blood rage is active) and non-VP leech more. Chimera was probably my smoothest guardian to run, tied with hydra. You can delete the first 1/3rd of every add wave by whirling on top of it while it spawns in, and your overleech and good health pool should allow you to get through the smoke phase quickly (something where a faster leap slam helps a lot). Try a stibnite instead of sulphur for some survivability in melee.

I have now heard it is slated for additional damage after the balance team had a second look at it this week, though unfortunately due to miscommunication, we posted the one from the press tour. Sorry about that, it's pretty hectic here! That staff looks really really cool. If it gets enough of a boost I'm tempted to do a EQ (or tectonic strike maybe??) staff jugger again

Being new to the game, I was curious what skills are mechanically similar to Diablo 3 skills, aside from Cyclone and Leap Slam, which fill Barb niches. I wanna see what kinds of D3 builds I could replicate in this game.

What does Shield Throw use for weapon speed? Surely not your main hand weapon? In that case everyone's gonna use brightbeak with it and that's boring.

We also have confirmation that you can use a wand with it and that the spectral shield takes on the 3D art of whatever shield you have equipped, which is cool

It's already been confirmed that Brightbeak doesn't work with it.quote:There is a known bug with Fireball and a couple of other projectiles where an instance of the projectile animated object has to play it's end animation, which in those cases looks like the explosion, because of complciated technical bullshit to do with how projectile skills are structured, and the way animations are used, but this will be fixed eventually.

I installed this game on a whim, and I’m enjoying it! Played quite a few hours tonight. I have a bunch of questions, of course, but I’ll watch the beginners guide videos linked in the OP. But there is one thing: I got a bad case of gamer’s cramp from all the clicking, is there some way to reduce that? Some small trick in the control options or something?
