Awesome! posted:its fine There's 23% Spell Block spread across the entire tree. Stone of Lazwhar +15, Rathpith +18, Rainbowstride +7 = 63 Spell Block. And that's just on the Spell Block side, you need even more drat points for the regular block. I am not happy about this since it already required shitloads of investment and gave up clearspeed for that. lurksion fucked around with this message at 03:44 on Aug 29, 2018 |

Awesome! posted:its more like 1/3 isnt it? If the penalty is always on, and you're doing full fire conversion with a cotb, you're doing 50% less cold to fire damage, 75% less lightning to cold to fire, and 50% less direct lightning to fire. So instead of 2.9x damage you're getting 1.85x damage. 36% less damage. People will probably drop the cotb since it's getting a double penalty. If it only triggers when it blocks an element, then... well, I'm not sure how to calculate that, but the penalty is definitely less.

I think you will probably not care about the trap throw speed change in any situation besides pure boss DPS because I did not really feel it when I dropped like 12% trap throw speed from my tree on my trapper.

Looks like PP Arc/BL is still on the menu, boys.  I'm excited for the new patch! I had fun returning for Incursions and delves seems much more meaty.

Not sure why people are acting like Shimmeron got dumpstered, like Vasudas said at 6 power charges and capped res you're taking just under 300/s damage, which is 5% life regen on a character with 6k life, if you're a saboteur then that's incredibly easy to mitigate, and otherwise 5% is well within attainable for most builds. Dual-wielding will be tougher but still. I look forward to buying mine for 1 alch.

Without Shimmeron, I'm thinking I'll level as Arc totems but may switch to Glacial Cascade totems at some point for endgame.

I wouldn't run arc this league even if shimmeron weren't nerfed, I'm sick of it. I'm thinking of making a poo poo spewing pathfinder or necro zombie/skelly summoner anything to get away from arc Im salivating look at all those minion damage nodes all close together in the witch/templar starting zones. As well as lots of mana/recovery, it'll be way easier to level as pure minions early on. Cao Ni Ma fucked around with this message at 04:35 on Aug 29, 2018 |

Hopeshredder now deals 200 Cold damage per second per Frenzy charge (down from 400). It now also has 15-25% increased Attack Speed. Using a Divine Orb on an existing copy of this item will update that item with both of these changes. This actually seems disgusting. It halves the cold damage you take, making it easier to deal with the degen, and a 25% attack speed increase is massive. I think I might have to give this a shot this league.

OK, here's a rough skill tree I planned out for my Guardian Dominating Blow Pokemaster: https://pastebin.com/4m8gQJcm I've always stayed away from pet classes, so I have no idea what I'm aiming for. Any suggestions regarding tree/path adjustments or certain pieces of gear I should look to incorporate?

Hopefully the guys from this version of dominating blow are a little quicker than they used to be. I tried it in Incursion but while I could easily amass 50+ minions, only 7 or so would actually get to attack anything.

Bugsy posted:Way too little life and no jewel sockets. Not sure if vaal pact is going to give you enough sustain even with CA giving a much better hit than before. Well, good thing I asked then! As a newbie it's a little tempting to just search for all the damage related stuff and shoot for that. But with that in mind, wouldn't it be a better idea to start with Evasion+Life nodes coming out of ranger, instead of the Projectile Damage nodes? Frankly those are pretty weak. Edit: Like this, maybe? https://pastebin.com/v6Fs077Z I prioritized chance to poison a little more than DoT damage, since Path of Building says that's worth more.

Clarste posted:Well, good thing I asked then! As a newbie it's a little tempting to just search for all the damage related stuff and shoot for that. The build is listing total dps at like 30k which is not realistic for a functional build. I wouldn't compare damage nodes too much aside from ones which are obviously better, since the version of caustic arrow currently on PoB isn't scaling with your bow's physical damage.

Those Scion ones would be slightly better coming in from Harrier (or Sentinel, whatever) if you're planning a build which paths that way.

 Did they just significantly buff Inpulsas? This is worded like the Scourge claw which turns all minion damage into global damage which would affect Inpulsa lightning explosions. With Delve infinite scaling of monster HP, that would mean some crazy damage Combine that with this jewel spot: TheRat posted:

Oh, I keep misreading that jewel, you're right. According to PoB, 20% duration vs 45% duration for a level 20 blade vortex is 6 seconds vs 7.25 seconds. That's a 1 second difference? I forget whether PoE rounds up or down for decimals in the case of duration. If it rounds down then it wouldn't be that bad but if it's a two second difference then it'll be pretty noticeable. Then I guess that slot isn't useful since you shouldn't be lacking damage as BV and that 1 second duration is way better for mapping speed and QoL. Maybe for harder content, like Delves or bosses? yum fucked around with this message at 10:37 on Aug 29, 2018 |

The one that seems the most interesting is the top right scion one, mostly because the life, multi and attack/cast speed is just good without restricting you to something wierd. You also don't lose out on any amazing notables. I first thought the spot near acrobatics seemed pretty nice as it also gives 1 pierce. It is pretty awkward that it competes with lioneye's fall, and that it pretty much locks out phase acro.

Top right scion definitely looks the best. Between marauder and templar looks pretty good for a 2h warchief build. Below scion looks pretty good for a facebreaker warchief build.

I'm a bit conflicted, 2 leagues ago I did a Slayer Ngamahu Cyclone Build, and it was really good starter and up to T15s and farming currency for next build. But I'm wondering how this will work in Delve as it doesn't kill anything offscreen and you'd have to go into the dark with it. Whereas Arc Totems would be able to kill poo poo all over. What are people considering as league starters?

Turd Herder posted:Oh son of a bitch. Ok i'll stick to popular streamers builds. Streamers / youtubers can provide a good set of build guides, but IMO the best place to find written build guides is the pathofexile.com forums. The classes / builds section is segregated by base class and can be filtered by ascendancy. Obvious not all builds here are good, but most people update their build guides for the new leagues and you can generally trust anything with more than a few pages of comments (or at least look through some comments to see how many people trash it).
