LITERALLY MY FETISH posted:Why did you think linking a wiki page in response to "The game is unintuitive in lots of places" was anything except admitting defeat immediately? It's not someone "playing that game" it's just the game has a problem with being a complicated mess to new people, which is not nearly a new thing. Because that's not what was said. It's trivial to find the info.

I was saying they don't know what they're doing because they made the support gem named "Hypothermia" functionally better for ignite and bleed builds than builds that are literal walking blizzards. You're guys are putting too much thought into it. Damage nerfs or not, it makes me lol.

Jinnigan posted:Has there ever been a Battlemage build worth playing? Thinking about that Battlemage Cry and I wanna crib some notes from good battlemage builds (if, indeed, any have ever existed) Huh, isn't Battlemage's Cry kinda 'backwards' from Battlemage the keyword? Battlemage's Cry is spell damage stat applied to attacks, whereas Battlemage is weapon damage applied to spells. Am I reading that correctly? Volcanus was a popular Battlemage weapon so you could look up builds using that. (Probably Kulemak, too, though you'll get a bunch of other builds as well.) CoC Purifying Flame Inquis was one that used Volcanus with Battlemage.

Heads up to those looking to run the thematically consistent combo of Dom Blow + Absolution: both skills consume corpses to spawn the minions so you probably can't spawn both off the same mob so you might have trouble with the debuffs overlapping. It might work fine though if Absolution only maxes out at 3 minions.

You guys ready for the Reaper gem to give absolutely gently caress all information for how it works in game, and will require no less than fourteen posts from Mark_GGG on reddit to fully understand, which will then become the sole source of information on the gem for the next 3 years?

Elreon craft is proportionally a lot worse than it used to be, so good luck there, it won't be solving mana issues for almost any builds.

Magus42 posted:Because that's not what was said. It's trivial to find the info. for example the way the game describes Ailments is a great starting point. now let's say you decide to run a Cold Snap build and you pick up Hypothermia, a cold-related support gem. you think to yourself that this gem would be perfect for the build, but cold damage over time is not in fact an ailment, and only the hit portion is scaled by Hypothermia's bonus damage against chilled enemies.

Is there anyway to get chaos resist on totems? Forbidden Rite spell totems seems like it could clear well and be ok at single target but I can't figure out a way to raise the base 20% chaos res of totems.

Reaper scales up the life and damage reduction of your other minions. There is a small chance the Reaper is going to be a monster, but knowing GGG's feeling towards minions, this is probably a meme gem.

Concoction numbers look...eh. I mean in terms of raw damage, if you're consuming flask charges, they're nice. And it's got a lot of tags. But splitting damage into three different types is very inefficient and the fire damage alone is not that impressive. Also the added cold/lightning damage support gems are very strong now and a skill with heavy base damage and normal effectiveness isn't great for those. Seems like a fire/ignite focus with one ruby flask might make the most sense? But that's kinda boring too, and doesn't sound that strong on the surface of it. Pretty disappointed with the Sapphire/Topaz interactions unless I'm really underestimating the ways to scale them.

Im still going to try it out because srs was barely changed, the convenant is still going to be a cheap 6 link that bypasses the bullshit mana cost increases and soulwrest should still be cheap so even if reaper sucks I can always fall back into two tried and tested minion builds that dont deal with most of the bullshit other starter builds got hit with.

Low life is 50% . So for slayer with the cull node it would be 50% to 30% ? Also you will have a mob buff all the time except for a couple bosses ?

I was thinking that you could use shield crush as a single target option for SST bleed glad, but that looks like it's out. It deals less damage per hit and has a slower attack speed on top of it. Hit based builds might still be able to make use of the overlap, but that won't work well for bleeds. I'm really interested to see how spectral helix feels in practice. It has 250% base damage and 110% base attack speed. That's the same base damage as old heavy strike, but with ~30% more attack speed. For clear I imagine you have to think of it as a slowly growing AoE zone for it to feel good. You throw it out once or twice and then move on. I can't imagine they let the same projectile hit a single target more than once, but even then it should be solid damage on bosses, and the only clear gem it seems to need is faster proj.

I was gonna ask if they said there was a limit to the stacks? Really I don't trust any standard melee ability in the game really because mobility is so important to not die.

Nah, that's a legit support gem and if you play a strike build, I would probably use it. It's basically 25% more (generic) damage. And a headhunter. Edit: And strike range.
