NightfallGemini posted:Speaking of traps, how bad did the nerfs really hurt Arc Traps? The throwspeed one seems like the biggest but I'm not an expert, I just played the thing last league. Base throw speed got increased from 0.5 to 0.6 (i think) but the biggest gently caress you was cluster traps throw 1 less traps.

Tai posted:Totems. I'm torn atm. My best Arc-totems build with dual Void Batteries and Soul Mantle plus 2x Kikazaru and Self-Flagellation does something like ~750k Shaper DPS. My best Arc-traps build with dual Void Batteries and Tinkerskin does a little short of ~2 million Shaper DPS from just spamming arc traps, and that includes the cluster traps nerf. There's no mana concerns there either, because Tinkerskin + Eldritch Battery = infinite traps. That being said, the trap build has like 2/3 the effective HP of the totem build. If you go for Dark Pact totems instead, you can get the damage up to 2-3 million.

The thing about Arc traps is that you can use Multitrap instead. Unlike AoE traps like explosive/fire trap, your damage is less dependent on the mob being within both the trap trigger and the damage radius, so as long as one trap triggers, others distal to the triggered trap will also fire its Arc bolt. The CT trap nerf will hurt those less popular traps hard.

But isn't Multitrap also 2, while having worse damage?

Heiro with jacked up placement speed is fast as gently caress. They're like basically instant.

Does warcry duration still affect the duration of poison inflicted by a warcry AKA abyssal cry, or did they change that?

I did the math for traps a couple days ago: Count Uvula posted:Spells and attacks supported by the trap support: 40% less damage It's worth noting that the relative damage increase from the trap support is based on the cast/attack speed of the skill. Since Arc has a base cast time of 0.8 seconds, the dps difference between self cast arc and trap arc is honestly pretty narrow now but still in the favor of traps--the "penalty" being you can't leech from the traps, but both Saboteur and Tinkerskin are extremely strong sources of life gain.

How far could I expect to get with an Arc Totems Heiro without using Soul Mantle? Odds are that I'll just be using him to get currency for a CA Trickster/Pathfinder or whatever FOTM build shows up anyway.

You'll be fine. The 5th totem from Soul Mantle is a 25% damage boost, but you have to get some sort of curse immunity set-up going that uses up your off-hand or both rings to support it, and you could use those slots for damage. It's worth noting though that Soul Mantle also gives you a potential 7-Link on your primary totem, so that's usually another 20-30% more damage.

I opened bestiary with an arc totems hiero and took it to late red maps before I'd saved enough for a 6L Inpulsa which took me to... late red maps before I got bored of the league. You can kill Uber elder (with difficulty) without Soul Mantle, and red elder and shaper fairly easily.

And doing a curse immunity set up isn't that hard to be honest. I just used a diamond flask with anti-curse without using those curse rings.

So hows budget KB wanders in delve, any point in trying? Raging spirits? Will any of that stay alive for any amount of time? e: cause delve looks like youre getting swarmed from all sides, and i dont know if the above will do any good in that scenario. Sounds like BV would be perfect, or RF, things that kill by being near me or something. wanders are fun and have insane clear but delve will be more into survivability i suppose?

The level 90 pastebin is here https://pastebin.com/hDYqqn0Y. I haven't updated Path of Building so I can't look at the tree, but there's a whole lot of weird as hell choices here-- 4 vaal skills??? No area clear outside of herald of agony, if you don't slot melee splash. Calling the Embalmer BIS gloves (it's very good as an early source of a 5link but far from best in slot). Flasks are fine choices, and Wasp's Nest is great for any VS build. A lot of it will come down to whether the Herald of Agony mook clears efficiently enough to be your main clear skill, but even if it is I'd probably do a Cyclone + Decay set up so you don't have to actually stop and shank some fuckers to keep your virulence up, while the decay thins crowds. Really the main issue with the linked build is the guy seems obsessed with just getting the highest raw damage numbers possible but there's a lot of concessions to be made to make the build actually clear fast and not feel like you're wasting a lot of time as you go. Like sure getting a million poison stacks is cool but if it takes 30 seconds to get there the build is absolute garbage against anything but red tier bosses.

Interesting interaction with Phase Run, but it sounds like he was implying phase run gave a damage boost for the entire duration of the buff. That's not right at all. This just means static strike doesn't interrupt the movement boost, unlike most other ways of attacking things. Static Strike really is closely aligned with hooves and RF.

I feel like you're underestimating totems here a bit. Mathils old shimmeron arc totem build had something along the lines of 500k dps per totem. Thats with the stuff he had in bestiary, so good 3-stat jewels and a 21/0 arc, but without Soul Mantle. He has claimed that a good shaped staff would out damage that in 3.4, which I would find pretty crazy since shimmeron is one hell of a lot of damage, but if its anywhere close to those numbers it definitely doesn't have to hide from traps.

How exactly does increasing base crit% work with things that have no base crit, like secondary damage from explosions? I read that 5% is the minimum a skill can have, but do the increased crit strike mods work off that 5% as a base, or the actual amount being given to it (in my own situation, adding 0.5% base crit to abyssal cry via Pure Talent)
