Last of the revamped skills. Sorry guys, Rejuvenating Totem is still useless.

Does this mean mines will be worth playing? How about as a league starter? Maybe arc totems?

The expensive part of arc totems will be the +chains helm enchant that is a ~22% more multiplier. If you are going mines instead, you will additionally want it to be on a shaper helm since the extra mine affix is global and effectively another ~33% (slightly less if sabo) more multiplier. Also a general recommendation to spam boot enchants in uber lab until you hit 1-160 lightning damage or 10% pen when you haven't killed recently, those will always be active and are fairly strong. 120% crit chance is pretty solid too.

theshim posted:I still have no idea what I'm starting with I'm trying to decide if I want to stick with my initial plan of Incinerate CwC Flame Surge Elementalist or dive straight into Elemental Hit wands (again Elementalist). I have a feeling the latter would be more difficult to start with though.

How is Arctic Breath not getting a buff?! It shoots exploding skulls! That automatically makes it cooler than every other skill! I have never been so disappointed. There are too many good options now. Arctic Breath would have made my decision much easier. Edit: "We've also made some numerical changes to many skills to make them more competitive. You'll be able to see them all in the patch notes tomorrow..." OK, there's still hope. Noper Q fucked around with this message at 04:10 on May 29, 2018 |

I think my build is mostly done, but I'm still a bit confused one thing: How are the defensive options in this game? I get that %Life and Elemental Resistance are mandatory, no matter what you do, but what about Armor/Evasion/Energy Shield? More specifically I could either specc into Iron Reflexes or Acrobatics/Phase Acrobatics.

Wuxi posted:I think my build is mostly done, but I'm still a bit confused one thing: In general, after life and resistances, the next mechanic of "tankyness" you should focus on is "sustain" -- at least in my opinion. This means life leech, regen, and/or life on hit. Even with great defenses, there's always something that'll gently caress you up, which means getting back to full life ASAP is critical. Spells are also usually more scary than attacks, and are usually what's gonna gently caress you up, so if you want to go a high defense and low sustain build, I strongly suggest ways to avoid spells, like max spell block etc. Here's a video of a dude with probably good spell block taking on Uber Elder. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3c-zNj1NJMw On a starter, I feel that armor is usually better than evasion, because it helps with some uber lab traps and makes things less "spiky". However, if your character has a reliable blind mechanic, evasion can be really good. Any build that can Fortify should. Mind Over Matter is also really great, if you can work it into your build.

i can still taste him posted:Patch notes are up: The algorithmically generated patch notes are always good. "Created a flameblast which grew without needing to be lucky for 4 seconds after use."  e: "From the 19th challenge onwards and for every third challenge after that, you will receive the Incursion Totem Pole decoration to display in your mainhand weapon."  Also looks like there are a bunch of pets on sale today in case you wanted to burn a couple bucks on a peacock. Mo_Steel fucked around with this message at 05:08 on May 29, 2018 |

Looks like I'm going Quad Arc Totem Hiero with an attack speed + spellcrit dagger, Insanity gloves, and a shield because gently caress Shimmeron for mapping. Might as well use a white driftwood wand, character would have the same map clearspeed 1-shotting everything and walking to the next pack. edit: queeb posted:Im leaning arc totems but I really hate not having a movement skill, not being able to shield charge all over sucks balls. Nice post timing, I wasn't intending my post as a reply but yeah, just use a dagger and a shield and you can use shield charge with a totem build. Secret off-meta strategies.

So, it was my understanding that Arc was borderline usable and people made plenty of builds to clear decently but struggled on bosses. Now Arc has greatly boosted single target -and- clears even better?

I'm trying to decipher what's up with charged dash... are you supposed to be like a Tron Cycle and grow a path through all the enemies? Are they intending it to be a main skill? Anything that can let you rush through a map and nuke everything at the same time while using one button (i.e. PPVD) is good poo poo in my book.
