https://pastebin.com/5FFJH2pY Occultist CI Blade Vortex, cold damage conversion with shitloads of chaos. 7.5k ES at level 95 (7k or so at 90). Immune to bleed, Incandescent Heart, +3% max resistances from Apep's shield. .87 second ES recharge delay, 4.5k/sec recharge. Triple curses - Frostbite, Temporal Chains, Enfeeble; all of them with greatly increased curse effectiveness. Rares are thrown in there as bullshit placeholders just to make sure what I want is mostly obtainable; except for the gloves, I have those and they're good for now. I'm aware of how expensive it is. I have the currency and most things priced out. I don't know yet if I'm stupid enough to build this thing and push to 100.

How far can you scale a wander? I love kinetic blast and I have a feeling it might get gutted soon. I'd like to see how far I can take one, just wondering what the ceiling is on one?

McFrugal posted:I figured out with some shenanigans I can do like 900k total dps with all Mirror Arrow clones out, which frees up a 4link and lets me use blink arrow for movement. However this is still kindof bad for clearing so I want to use that 4link for a clearing skill. I have to use minions since I have no damage passives for anything else. Question is, which minion skill? 3 spectres is my limit since I'm wearing Victario's Influence, and that requires giving up some skill duration from my belt slot by switching from string of servitude to a corrupted rare to cap resists. I think I'd need to spend some passives to get the spectres leech or regen to keep them alive while clearing, too. Would zombies or SRS be a better idea? Zombies are generally okay but I think you need to go whole-hog on them to use them as a clearing skill - on my SRS builds I usually used them up to around 50 then dumped them as they would start to just die to any non-white mob. I imagine that would be the case for you as well since you probably wouldn't have specced into a lot of +minionlife for arrow clones.

Thoughts on these two items? I'm wondering if the wand is worth anything at all, and the bow I'm just wondering how high.

The wand is isn't worth the time it took you to post it. Terrible base, no crit or attack speed. The bow is hard. It might be worth several exalts if it didn't have the cold res. But it does and most of the expensive cold per dex bows out there also have 20% chance to deal double damage. I'd say 100c or less. dis astranagant fucked around with this message at 09:47 on Jun 19, 2018 |

Sakco posted:Can confirm, this arc trapper is tanky AF and dps is bonkers even without shimmeron and/or low life. I've done some changes to the original and it's now my first build to reach 94 and defeat Uber Atziri and Shaper ever. Sucky_Sock/Sucky_LetThereBeLight for anyone interested. As far as I can tell, the mana cost reduction doesn't affect auras, so I'm not sure I understand the point of this particular helm. Is it just for the high Energy Shield? Or is there another interaction with Enlighten (which I don't have yet)? I'm running a similar build now. Would any of you trap experts mind looking at it and offering some advice? I can generally handle white maps, but occasionally I just explode. Probably the non-capped resists. https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/WhiteHowler/characters - AnacondaPants Stuff I already know: - One of the rings is bad. I need the strength/dexterity plus resists. - Need gloves with +traps and +1 trap thrown, but I can't afford a decent one right now. - Need more links on the Incandescent Heart and should move Lightning Spire there. Way out of my price range to get a 5+ link, off-color item though. WhiteHowler fucked around with this message at 15:46 on Jun 19, 2018 |

+1 gem levels is good for wrath and discipline but it also effects enlighten which results in less mana reserved. Also yeah high es

Enlighten, wrath and discipline benefit from the gem level tough and the energy shield and evasion are pretty decent. I wouldn't use it over an actual good helmet, but I don't think it's such a bad choice.

Ball Lightning is the single target DPS for Arc/LW Pens. As best as I can tell, I'm killing bosses faster than my AC Molten Strike guy was last league.

Elemental Hit is extremely good. 2018 is weird. Go bows if you're going to do it though. I went wands because I wanted to and I made it work, bows are a better option by far.

When i'm trying to determine pob DPS for choosing upgrades for tornado shot do I need to do the maths too? So right now I'm a champion using a 6L tornado shot with Tshot - added cold - added lightning - GMP - Mirage Archer - elemental damage with weapons I have Death's Opus as my main bow. It says my tornado shot does 4400 DPS with that bow, do I multiply that by how many arrows it shoots? The other upgrade candidates are Lioneye's Glare (very cheap) which puts me at 6600 dps and then Doomfletch's Prism (kinda exp, 20c on hc) which puts me at 8000

Just tried messing around PoE for the first time yesterday, not sure I get it. I have to say, the amount of things you're exposed to in a first playthrough is slightly overwhelming. The stats on every single item are blowing my mind. Maybe I've gone soft after a lot of games that have hand held me. Why are the die hards insisting that PoE is amazing and so much better than any other ARPG out there? I don't quite see it yet, at least in the first 30 min of gameplay.

Maybe I've gone soft after a lot of games that have hand held me. The depth of the skill gem system and passive tree is unparalleled. paired with the game's loot system (there are so many build-enabling uniques that it's crazy) it makes for a lot of fun builds. You're not going to see any of that in the first hour of gameplay. As you noted there is no hand holding in the game and if you don't follow a guide for your first character you're going to gently caress it up. Even if you do, you're going to gently caress it up. It takes a while to get a hang of the game's idiosyncracies, and honestly I think the game's not for everyone.

Yeah it'll take a lot longer than 30 min to really get to the heart of the game's strengths. The long and short of it is that the game has an amount of depth to match its complexity and that depth provides an enormous amount of replayability. This is on top of the quality content being added to the game at a pace that I think puts almost any other perpetually updated game to shame.

Speaking of prices, and where to go with items, I made this yesterday while pissing away alts trying futilely to make a stat stick for my bv elementalist.  I know this isn't the league for phys daggers, and I dont have the exalts to multimod it right now. So I don't really know what I should do with it, or price it to sell as it is.

Jinnigan posted:i made something +1 gems is pretty low value on a Tombfist, but not zero value. Your main issue is that these would never even show up in my searches because they have one abyssal socket not two. The crit mod is extremely good, but almost everyone that would spend 10ex on Tombfist is going to be buying a 2 socket version.

I have to say, the amount of things you're exposed to in a first playthrough is slightly overwhelming. The stats on every single item are blowing my mind. Maybe I've gone soft after a lot of games that have hand held me. The game takes its sweet time building your power and speed. If you're new and/or without currency, you won't really get to see the "warps around maps thanks to item/skill synergy" thing for a while. Generally, sometime around act 3, when you get your first points into a specialization, you'll really feel a significant power boost... Maybe. If you're new, check out the forums for a build to follow. Well written ones will explain most everything and you'll hopefully be able to gleam some mechanical understanding why it functions, which will help you better understand why you want some stats and not others, when you want those talents, etc. This game doesn't really try to hold your hand and I think that's the appeal. It's kinda dumb in retrospect but I think the appeal for some, i.e. me, is learning to avoid pitfalls and conversely, knowing what really breaks barriers. System mastery at its worst. That being said, I follow guides 99% of the time because  .

Maybe I've gone soft after a lot of games that have hand held me. I first tried PoE in 2012 when it was in beta, and bounced off it HARD. Played for a day or two and just thought it was complete trash. I played the poo poo out of D3 instead, and loved it. I randomly decided to try PoE again for this league. It basically has infinite complexity compared to D3, the gem system is that good. Now I can't believe I waited this long to get into it, I'm hooked.

Maybe I've gone soft after a lot of games that have hand held me. For 30 minutes of gameplay, PoE is probably worse than D3. (I had the same hard bounce off PoE in 2013 someone else mentioned.) But for 300+ hours of gameplay, PoE will maintain your interest a *lot* better than D3 will because of the higher levels of customizability, the weird insane edge poo poo you can do, the huge variety of builds, etc. (Plus leagues are a lot more meaningful than D3 seasons in terms of introducing something new - even if people didn't like Bestiary, it was at least different.)

Does anyone have a feel for the elder's various drop rates? I killed him for the first time last night, tier 6 map, and all he dropped was a nebuloch. Didn't really seem worth it, but I guess you don't need to clear all the guardians like a shaper run would require.
