RPATDO_LAMD posted:Is there a way to trigger a hit on yourself with self-damage from some unique? It's less damage taken - its so you don't get one shotted when you don't evade a big hit. Same reason why ppl use https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Kintsugi and LC (on HC at least)

Itd probably work with melee characters too if they use blind and dodge on top of evasion

It's really good for Trickster because of how it works with Ghost Shrouds, since you get the additional evasion applied before the Ghost Shroud triggers and regens your ES. Or, well, at least Kintsugi is and this looks like the same concept. The less damage taken also doesn't get removed if you don't get hit, and a lot of the dangerous stuff (Death beams) is degen instead so it's just 20% less damage taken from those.

How viable is Divine Ire as a leaguestarter and endgame bosskiller? I'm bad at poe so I need to compensate with strong builds.

Assuming it doesn't get nerfed too much, extremely good at both

Imho divine ire is harder than other newbie builds because you have to stand still to cast which can get you recked.

Nah I did it league starter for synthesis and it was totally fine (trickster). The nice thing is that you kill things while channeling, then fire your huge fuckoff laser. The only annoying thing is you rarely need to actually channel log enough to get the buff from infused channeling.

With a decent amount of cast speed you don't have to stand still for very long, as long as you channel at least 10 stacks. You don't need to reach 20 stacks every time - firing with 20 stacks is the same damage as firing with 10 stacks twice.

Whatever anyone may say about its potency or effectiveness, Divine Ire is incredibly loving satisfying to use. I'd recommend it just based on that alone, really.

Oh yeah, it's also a phys->lightning spell which makes it extremely good for the trickster's Harness the Void node.

I'm tempted by Consecrated Path (ascendancy TBD since there's a bunch of reworks we've not seen yet) Does it die in delves like flicker strike?

Qwertycoatl posted:I'm tempted by Consecrated Path (ascendancy TBD since there's a bunch of reworks we've not seen yet) Consecrated path is great for delves, but last league it could soft lock fortification betrayal encounters by putting you on the wrong side of the door. No idea if that was or will be fixed.

Still not settled on a build. Guess I gotta wait for the patch notes to know what is truly viable. I would like to do some high clearspeed build, and so both Consecrated Path and Charged Dash sound appealing, but I worry their damage will fall off late game against bosses. Cyclone CWC or NF Cyclone Chieftain also seem appealing but I worry about the same fundamental scaling issue and they seem like they'll just be slower regardless. The Boyz seems like it would be really fun to play as well, with crazy single target, at the cost of even more clearspeed and area damage. I'm pretty new at PoE so if anyone has any guiding thoughts I'd love the hear them.

If your build doesn’t involve at least one minion go back and redo it imo.

So I probably won't have the time to finish out all the trophies on PS4 by June 10th. I'm missing the ones for completing the atlas, killing the shaper, and the other hard "boss" guys. So far I have played flame totem and a zombie minion build. Any recommendations for a PS4 build that can clear everything for the next league? The Summoner one can probably do it, but I am getting bored with it to be honest. Most of the builds that have guides for them can clear pretty much everything right?

Ruggan posted:Still not settled on a build. Guess I gotta wait for the patch notes to know what is truly viable. Based on my experience with Charged Dash you will definitely need some single-target help. The usual go-to I've seen suggested is Lightning Spire traps though Storm Brand was my choice last time around and it worked pretty well.

Ruggan posted:Still not settled on a build. Guess I gotta wait for the patch notes to know what is truly viable. Since basically everything is new to you, I would go off meta and avoid melee. It'll be cheaper to gear. Just look for a popular starter build from 3.5 or 3.6 and try it out.

The damage is hard to scale and a base damage of 10% of monster health is very little unless the area of effect is large enough for significant overlap. And unlike Herald of Ice it can't chain.

Using scolds bridle is technically more damage and doesnt eat into MoM, but vortex is a guaranteed chill and looks cool.....

I wouldn't intentionally try to go 'off meta' or whatever by not picking melee if that's what you want to play. If you're melee, you can get a build that clears high tier maps smoothly one rare at a time, and by the time you're there, you can piece together an endgame set. You can also run lab a bunch since tanky melees are good at that, which makes piecing together endgame gear even easier. Just play what you want to play, but if you want to make things easier on yourself have a back-up. I want to play flicker strike, but poo poo's hard, so I will start as cyclone.

I will take my own path during the legion league. When I first got into the biyearly PoE ritual Delve I think, I played a sword and shield gladiator cyclone, blade flurry build. Completely blind to the major mechanics and lacking all expertise. I petered out around high white meps. The next couple of leagues I followed the ~league starter~ builds, each successive one ever decreasing in detail but allowing me to experience how a good set of mechanics synergize with each other. Highest I've ever performed was low red meps. This summer I want to revisit a sword and board blade flurry, cyclone build. It is the league of melee after all and CwC and CoC are viable now. I want to close this personal circle. Always wanna say, PoE with y'all feels like a super fun running club. Every season the mountain opens up and you just gotta go up there and kill it.
