Acht posted:This looks nice Rodent. Nice sustain on ES as well. Yes, your ES will take the MoM hits - however, since you're also using that ES to pay for your skills (and thus taking es damage), you will never really get a chance to start your ES recharge. Usually people take Zealoth's Oath then, to have life regen on ES. But it's still kind of a pain to make work with the skill spammy nature of the game (if you ask me)

You don't need zealot's oath anymore since you can sustain with inquisitor regen and/or energy leech support. One important thing to remember though is that EB does not work on chaos damage, so get yourself a decent chunk of chaos res.

I figured the Pious Path would indeed keep my ES up enough, perhaps with a leech node. Going to try it out today, fun.

Don't be scared of using energy leech support, it's actually a very strong damage mod too.

Papercut posted:Having execute always be an option would make the rival/trust system nearly pointless and trivialize the whole thing. The problem is we need a way to clear syndicate members off the local field without forcing the players to make overtly bad choices, because otherwise they occupy the board and block further encounters within the zone. I think there just needs to be a "release" button. Or, failing that, give us an option to non-levelling execute when there is a single person, or a trusted pair. Think of it as: Catarina only promotes you for bravery if someone sees you fall in battle, and she doesn't believe you if you have to rely on the word of your friend.

Does anyone know how Harness the Void works on conversion skills? Does each damage type have a separate chance for each multiplier, or is there only one roll that then gets applied to all damage types?

Yes, but for a high damage single hit skill, like Divine Ire, the lower variance option is clearly better than the 60% chance of doing nothing option.

I have never seen anything to suggest that it rolls for each individual element. It can proc multiple multipliers in the same hit though

I think one of the problems PoE is running into is that Delve is a drat near perfect framework. A potentially infinite number of events that last just a few minutes each with a lot of variety, with options that you can choose from to drop very specific things, along with a bit of exploration that comes with rewards for doing so. It can adapt to session times from ten minutes to true poopsocking. It's a lot more enjoyable for me than mapping, to the point where I'm now just mapping to cap out sulphite for another delve run. That's functionally a very high bar to top, and it's not really a surprise that neither Betrayal nor Synthesis have done it.

Delve is part of why "just let people pick which master they interact with" isn't realistic because people will just pick delve which, BTW, had an extremely rough start

I liked delve a lot from the start, but it also took me a few weeks to get past 300 depth, so maybe that's why.

AggressivelyStupid posted:Delve is part of why "just let people pick which master they interact with" isn't realistic because people will just pick delve This isn't the case at all. If there is a high cost to switching a master then my starter character will aost always be Zana. If I'm doing the soulwrest character I made during betrayal the master will almost certainly be Yun.if I just wanna nap after being established I'm going to pick Einhar

What do people think the chances are that they unfuck the league? Wondering if it's worth popping on to snag a Voidforge and screw around with a melee character after the patch or not.

I think it’s very likely that they make the nexus into a super rewarding loot piñata. It’s late enough that they don’t have to worry about loving up the economy, and it would make players feel better about the league and generate more interest going into the next league. Also, voidforge will be hella expensive next league likely. If you want to gently caress around with existing melee skills, and don’t mind the lack of a fresh economy, this is probably as good a time as any.

Ugato posted:Honestly if they just straight ripped the collapsing mechanic out of the memories I’d like them a lot more. Or even just ease off on it a little. I actually really like the little bits of voiceover narrative you get during the on-map memories, or I would if I wasn't largely ignoring them because oh gently caress I'm getting walled in already I haven't even found one stabilizer yet.

the variable decay (2 or 3) and randomly getting blocked by spawning memories is probably my biggest hurdle with actually running nexus right now.

There are too many drat enemies in the memories which also doesn't help when you are trying to run through them in search of stabilizers. Especially early game while leveling where you can be dealing with end game pack sizes when you don't even have your main damage dealing skill yet (or if you do, it isn't in a state where it can vaporize packs) Like its easy to get one shot even later on when you click the initial stabalizer and 5 packs worth of ranged guys pincushion you

It’s never balanced well for leveling, the rewards are bad and/or not necessary, and you’ll overlevel the content quickly, slowing you down. The last league mechanic to really make it worth it to interact with it while leveling was... harbinger? And that was just because orbs of binding were awesome.

It would have been cool to use dynamite to blow up a screen of monsters or a boss. It sounds like they had planned for some encounters to require dynamite as a source of damage but they must have backed off that stance after the community got PTSD from dynamite throwing reminding them of net throwing.
