Are you asking because you're afraid to have one that just sends all keys at once? Because it really doesn't need to be fancy at all. I have a logitech mouse so I just use their software, same thing in effect. For AM storm brand, a cap on the mana scaling unfairly punishes other spells where you actually have to sustain the mana cost somehow. Personally, I would just make archmage exclude brands. dyzzy fucked around with this message at 15:40 on May 26, 2020 |

It'll probably either just exclude brands or have a very reduced effect on brands. I'm glad that was the build I played this league and planned out prior to release, it was a lot of fun and very satisfying to actually theorycraft it on my own and have it turn out as well as it did.George posted:As usual it’s also strong because you are scaling damage and defense with the same stat. I think Mana to ES rolls are the true overpowered part of Archmage. It's this, although using a pure Life/Mana setup worked really well too. I was running around with something like 10-11k HP on my Hiero once I got the pieces into play, 60% MoM is nuts. Either way though, scaling your defense and damage with the same points is pretty potent considering how high the conversion rate is.

My goal this next league is to only pick up things worth picking up after the first three days. I think a super strict filter is probably the only way I can accomplish this. Owning the unique tab has been the actual worst thing in this regard.

Few more newbie mapper questions. I'm just into like t3-t5 stuff, level 84. Starting on watchstones. Christ, I'm already at 60 hours played on this game, lol. Smashing stuff is fun. Gonna have to look into what gear I can upgrade though, up the quality on a few pieces of gear, already working on quality gems, probably need to rework my flasks to be better "oh poo poo" and damage prevention buttons, else I'm never going to make it out of level 84. Anywhos, more newbie mapper questions: I've been rare'ing my maps. Earlier someone said wait until late tiers (like 14+) and start cartographing them first. When should I start using the Vaal fragments (except the rare one apparently, should sell it or save it for a full frag run)? When should I start using those goddamn beetles that are starting to clutter things? Are there other bullshit drops that I should be using on my maps, and if so, around when is a good point to not "waste" them? The Metamorph fight seems worth doing, as it's not a long event. Is the Blight one though? I don't really like it yet, probably because it doesn't give you time in-game to read what the buttons do so you just click poo poo. I'd probably like it fine if I watched a video / read the wiki though. But still, it's a longer event, didn't know if it's better to skip it. I swear, I think I'm starting to get a handle on the game, and it's like NEWP HERE'S YET SOME NEW TYPE OF DROP THAT YOU'RE NOT USING CORRECTLY YOU IDIOT".

Blight has 5 different towers, each of which has 4 levels. At level 4, you there's two different options to upgrade into, generally speaking it's a "bigger area" vs. "more damage" trade-off. The thing that's not terribly obvious though is when it comes to the portal/lane markers. Those may have an icon on them corresponding to a tower type. That tells you that monsters coming out of that portal are resistant to the indicated tower, not weak against it. Generally speaking, I like to put a minion tower by each portal, fire tower at chokepoints and empowering towers where they can easily reach 2 or 3 other towers after 1 upgrade. If dealing with minion/fire resistance, I'll usually swap to chilling/shocking, respectively.

and you can anoint your rings with real cheap anoints that can boost your power. i usually do empower range and additional meteor I usually do minions to block, but only to like level 1 or 2, then go fire to meteors, empower in a place that it will hit a ton of towers, and then ice up to the glacial block one that just traps monsters. i didnt like blight league a ton but now as a chance in maps and the odd blighted map, its loving great.

Vasudus posted:TR scales with dot/chaos/proj and attack speed, plus gem levels. The more pods you have, the more dots you have. You can run with a quill rain for the entire early game until you craft a +3 thicket, hopefully with some influenced goodies since you can't get a 7L bow anymore. Also skill duration, since that increases the total dot damage of each pod.

nerox posted:https://twitter.com/bexchangewords/status/1264712628766519296?s=20 I think the best and simplest solution would be to just make it so that adding or removing a gem link deletes your active brands. Since that's what makes archmage brands so powerful, you can pop out archmage, cast your brands, pop it back in, and get the added damage without ever having to recast them.

drewmoney posted:This is also what I do, but as I'm doing it with T14 Burial Chambers I think I'm wasting valuable time going back through after killing boss and clearing delirium and doing a full clear. The very, very slim chance of a Doctor drop makes me think it's worth it, but I doubt it. You know, I'd typically say the same, but the difference in splinter drops between killing a boss in delirium vs. not seems too big. I've been splinter farming in Malformation, and in one of my botched runs, I dropped only ~24 splinters instead of my typical 70-110 (granted, I missed a late-map Cassia where the delirium fog had already moved past which is probably the bigger factor, but point still stands -- you need to keep moving forward at a decent clip). That kind of difference in splinters seems really hard to justify. I get that the difference probably isn't as big considering I'm also popping Sirus twice as fast but... I dunno. euphronius posted:I was looking at toxic rain this league and I could not understand what made the damage scale ? As others have said, you scale the dot on the pod, not on any hits. Generally gem levels and all flavors of dot multi, from what I gather. Apparently you'd need some minimum amount of attack speed to make it feel good. Oh, and also area effect because you want the exploding pods to overlap on single target. Additional projectiles is ok up to something like +3, beyond which it starts making the total TR area of effect bigger, so while additional proj can help your clear slightly, it won't help your bossing at all (because it's not making it any easier for pods to overlap). Feels like overall it's a pretty low-priority stat especially compared some of the other bow builds, but I dunno, I haven't personally seen or tried it myself. The boyfriend is league starting bane pop occultist and I'm sick of my usual league start aurabot, so I was looking towards something with bossing potential that also benefits Malevolence and Despair. So I, too, have been looking into Toxic Rain, although as a miner. The mine part conveniently gets around the attack speed problem. TR should be a pretty smooth league start because you can farm Imperial Legacy or Porcupine div cards for a 6L bow, and a single Shrieking Essence of Dread gives you +2 bow gems (you don't even need Deafening tier). Pretty smooth and easy stepping stone to your eventual +3 bows (which isn't even that expensive or random to craft).

My strategy is that on straightaways I put a fire tower closer to the pump, and then a freezing tower further. Shocking towers close to clusters of portals, minion towers near chokepoints, physical near rats nests of paths, and empowering towers where they can hit two or more. I don't spend much time thinking about it though, in general I find it better to just get out more towers than worry about minmaxing their location.

Archmage already doesn't work if the mana cost of a skill is more than your total unreserved mana pool, so if people are fiddling with sockets it's just QoL rather than an opening to nerf the skill.

xZAOx posted:Anywhos, more newbie mapper questions: Vaal fragments are fairly cheap and quite plentiful, so do whatever (they can drop off vaal side zones, corrupted map bosses, in addition to delirium/blight/etc.). If you toss them into your map device alongside your normal map, you get a +10% quantity bonus -- and later on when you're rerolling maps, it's all about how high you can get your quantity % while avoiding the rear end mods like reflect, temp chains, or noleech/noregen depending on your build. You could just bulk-sell the fragments, or you can collect a full set and try to experience fighting Atziri to break up the pace. (None of (normal) Atziri's drops are worth that much and she's no longer a high-demand boss, but who knows, you might find the experience new and interesting and fun.) As for the beetles (scarabs), they're for juicing maps. There are kinda two schools of thought on higher-tier maps -- there's the higher-effort load-as-much-poo poo-onto-maps-as-possible to squeeze every drop out of every map, or there's the low-effort (chisel-and-)alch-and-go. The former is higher effort and requires you to keep track of inventory of sextants and scarabs (as well as spend extra off-time trading and buying for them), but your returns scale quadratically with the amount of currency you invest. The latter way is a perfectly fine way to play if you don't want to deal with all the micromanagement, and you'll still accumulate wealth albeit more slowly. If you don't have a fragment tab, I'd imagine the micromanagement is 10x worse -- you might just be better off selling your scarabs at that point. You probably shouldn't touch them until T15-16 though, and certain T14 if you're target farming specific maps e.g., Burial Chambers (in other words, not all maps are created equal; some T14s are more worth juicing than others). (Personally I do a combination of the two -- I juice when I'm going hard for something (e.g., Malformations for delirium splinter farming), and other times when I want to chill, I just low-effort alch-and-go.) As others have said, don't always go about chasing the 'optimal' way to play. Don't optimize your way out of fun in this game. You'll do just fine either way.

My other comfort picks would be a Trickster DOT class using Scorching Ray or ED/Cont... or Sabo trapper/miner of any flavor... Or maybe I should just go Jugg after-all Either way, time to take a break until I decide :P

I think people expecting the issue with Archmage and storm Brand to be resolved via some change to scaling are setting themselves up for a massive disappointment, like going to see the movie Titanic and expecting a surprise ending. Archmage is clearly intended to make the caster pay mana for the damage bonus, and the devs have worked hard to make this clear in the wording. Brands completely violate this, not even to the point where you could argue it is an unintended use, the intended use is clear and Storm Brand does not fall inline with that use. I would be shocked if Brands do not end up on the list of keywords that Archmage does not work with just like totems. I just hope this is the only change, because using Archmage with spells like Arc and Ball Lightning is pretty good when you pair it with unleash.

All this talk of archmage storm brand is making me want to give it a shot. Maybe I'll reroll my totem heiro into that. Glad I have a bit of time before next league to play around. My herald stacker is almost online, needs a few more levels to properly work. My dps, storm brand actually, is just a joke but I like how the spell functions.

Yea, nerfing Storm Brand or the Archmage Support are both the wrong answer, neither one is overpowered by itself, it's the specific combo of them. Brand Recall breaks the whole design purpose of Archmage Support. I see two possible solutions, either completely disable brands from using Archmage, or make Brand Recall cost additional mana based on the cost of the brands you are recalling. Would be a more complicated solution to implement, but shouldn't have a significant impact on non-Archmage brand builds.
