Trogdos! posted:Cyclone_Ben_Garrison  I think I'm going to be a hipster and do this Scion BV build instead of triple herald elementalist. Mostly due to advertised survivability and Uber Elder, which I was just a little too fragile to do last league.

So my tree ended up looking like the bastard child of Tarkes and Mathils CAs builds by the looks of it. I'm thinking if I end up changing it it'll look more like Tarkes, it has less damage and more health/mana nodes than Mathils, if I feel like it synergises better with the pathfinder flask style more. I'll experiment with a tiny bit of mana leech and if its enough to keep my mana up then I'll drop those nodes in favor of more damage on the bottom part of the grid.

I saw that build too. I'm pretty set on scion elehit but all the guides are like, "Don't start league with a bow char, don't start league with a scion, and definitely don't do both at once." lol. I'm gonna try to wing it with caustic arrow some poison nodes and the new herald but I suck so we'll see how it goes. I've seen people mention leveling with molten strike. Hopefully I don't burn out before getting the currency for all the required uniques.

Steam has to patch the game differently than the standalone so the steam patches are usually bigger

I did Ice Shot deadeye in the previous league and Arc Inquisitor in the flashback event. I want something different for delve, Necromancer Witch with a bunch of skeletons? Is that viable? I just started playing this game like a month ago.

I'm going to continue to never ever learn my lesson and go a new skill for league starter: Smite Scion with backup of going static strike or [insert any other attack skill]. Going Elementalist/Slayer with this as my initial tree Everything should work out perfectly  Edit: Also definitely going to chance an Inpulsa's.

Pure skeletons just isnt very common because most people prefer running specters

DS Champion or Pure Skeleton Necro as a SSF starter? How would Necro perform as an uber lab farmer? With the new shared minion attack speed for better movement?

I ended up buying To Dust gems for like 1-2c each, which they are usually more expensive though.

nerox posted:https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2109541 I did this build during Incursion. It was very solid and shredded bosses but beware: using the staff Femur together with the Vaal Skeleton skill will make the server instance choke for a few seconds. I had a few near-deaths when going into an incursion portal and using the skill at the start.

Gonna do a flavor of the patch build for once If you have Mirage Archer socketed to a duration-based skill, is there any way to make PoB show you the Archer's duration in the calculator? Mathing it myself is

Here is a srs auramancer build I've been working on https://pastebin.com/gkHMJxLk 200k shaper dps per skull and should be pretty cheap depending on the cost of the new gloves.

Mathing it myself is I don't think so, arcane surge has the same problem.

That all seems much cooler and not as soul crushing as previous leagues. Maybe THIS is the one I'll get to 36.

rath posted:Anyone figured out if Decay is better than say.. Slower Proj? My PoB game is a bit weak so I'm not sure if it models that. The problem with decay (apart from it being generally a bit underpowered by itself) is that you need to hit monsters to apply it, so suddenly your chance to hit becomes relevant.

But does Decay still apply to the new CA which is ground targeted, and thus accuracy isn't relevant? Also, the new lighting and shadows stuff is off by default. I turned it on while I'm waiting in the queue.

I'm thinking this time I'll start as Arc Totem again, then switch to Caustic Arrow when I'm bored with it and if by then I have enough thing to twink out, finally do my Viper Strike character. Or not. Why is it so hard.

I wonder how strict their definition of taking damage is, because you could possibly cheese that with Gluttony of Elements

5 minutes to go and I realized that Caustic Arrow isn't purchasable by Witches. Gonna have to roll a Ranger real quick to get the gem, whoops.
