Looks like I'm definitely going to play RF. Haven't played it before and it's been on my list for a while. Pohx does a great job of breaking the build down, plus the dude just seems delightful in his build vids. Still not sure whether I'm going to go Jugg or Inquis. It seems like either is going to be fine. I kind of like using cluster jewels in general which might be the tie breaker that leans me towards Inquis, but Jugg seems less finicky overall which I def like in my starter.

I'd go jugg, tankiness can't be overstated, especially with RF you want to be able to dive straight into the middle of packs without a care. Will be better with the archnem changes, but on t16s with inquisitor I would sometimes dive into a pack and just immediately die.

Benson Cunningham posted:Completely disagree. Not dying still feels great in softcore. Champion last league and RF the league before that were two of my most enjoyable builds. Also I get 6-7 additional skill points from not dying as I push 97-98 compared to a 92 glass cannon which translates directly to additional power. yeah i just finished playing elementalist EA to 38 challenges in softcore and I definitely want to try something tankier this next league. i'm still gonna dodge, but i'd like to not instantly melt inside degens and stuff.

Yeah I think I'm over playing squishy builds, it gets really tedious once you hit red maps. Deciding between cold dot trickster or EA champ. I'm thinking maybe champ would be safest overall, but not sure about single target damage on cheap gear vs cold dot

Leaguestart RF for inquisitor happens in the 50s when you do second lab and unlock Pious Path. Jugg can go straight into RF after first lab and is much kinder for league start conditions.

Also Pious Path is getting nerfed so it might be a bit more annoying to make the switch, just so you're aware.

Pious path nerf - doesn't this just amount to a loss of 2.5% life regen per second (applies to ES of course) and some decreased curse effect? Or am I not understanding properly. Seems like it'd be easy to make up on the tree or gear.

elementalist EAB shouldn't be squishy  it handily runs endurance charges, vms, det, grace, capped suppression, 2500 ele aegis etc. while still hitting 5-10m dps depending on gear. Champ obviously will be tankier because that's what champ does, but elementalist eab should not be feeling squishy. at least not beyond the way that wrath of the cosmos + juiced archnem made everything die sometimes External Organs posted:Pious path nerf - doesn't this just amount to a loss of 2.5% life regen per second (applies to ES of course) and some decreased curse effect? Or am I not understanding properly. yeah, correct, it's not a huge nerf.

Elementalist EA ballista is not squishy at all (imho) but yeah champ would be “tankier” tho not to degens afaict. The difference in in dps is millions tho, last time I compared similar set ups in Pob. That was last league. Edit What her story said 3.18 EA elementalist was even more insane but it got a lot harder to run an extra aura when they removed the 15% reservation mastery euphronius fucked around with this message at 22:43 on Dec 6, 2022 |

Or am I not understanding properly. No, you're correct. You lose out on 2.5% life regen, 2.5% ES regen and 25% reduced effectiveness of curses on you. It not the worst thing in the world, but when your primary damage dealer also puts a big-rear end degen on you, you'll notice the difference.

I'm probably starting this, probably in ssf https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2v2tblTWPxA Goratha's set up is by far the best spark setup I've seen for league start/ssf/low gear. damage is still good while he builds it incredibly tanky this is the newer part of the tree relative to the 3.17/3.18 setups  been seeing a number of builds including this that didn't used to go down to that bottom part of the scion tree  Makes sense though, that entire path is really good for almost any build Herstory Begins Now fucked around with this message at 22:48 on Dec 6, 2022 |

I tested it at delve event where I got splatted before clearing the first node. It was also not good enough for deli event. But it is good enough for regular ol campaign leveling. Subtractem is the chaos dot YouTuber in the same way Pohx is the RF YouTuber.

A dumb atlas tech for idiots: if you use the unique scepter Augyre, you can have both elemental overload + precise technique (for 8 seconds, at least).

Tested out leveling poison BV Occultist, then tested 100% cold conversion BV Occultist. Both seem good, but I like the cold build better. Power charge stacking gives a bunch of extra generic AoE, freezing and chilling everything is fantastic defensively, and I love those chunky Gloom Herald of Ice explosion sounds. The downside is I have to level something boring like Arc until I can buy a Hrimsorrow on day 1, and I'll probably have to run Frostbite either on Blasphemy or in a Mark of Submission ring for a couple days until it's possible to get a Frostbite on hit ring. Should still be totally fine, and I like how BV / Vaal BV plays a lot. e: External Organs posted:A dumb atlas tech for idiots: if you use the unique scepter Augyre, you can have both elemental overload + precise technique (for 8 seconds, at least). Doesn't that just give the the Elemental Overload keystone effect for 8 seconds? As in, you still have to crit in order to turn it on but Precise Technique prevents you from critting?

If it weren't for resolve, I would definitely start RF again only jugg instead of inquis. But I don't want to be on a low-ish single target damage build with limited range for the sanctum, so I'm trying to figure out something else. Although RF will probably still be fine in the sanctum chucking fire traps and running around if needed. The inquis nerf is pretty minor, it'll be slightly more annoying early but even with dogshit league start gear it still has more than enough regen to cover RF. Immortal flesh should be cheap even early on, and flat life regen rolls on rares are meaningful mods. Voll's vision is good too but it might be expensive early this league, I've heard a lot of people babbling about rushing it to run RF on caster builds early on to bump up their damage when the rest of their gear is bad. Or using it with kaom's spirit for rage regeneration. Vaal venom gyre looks really good to me, but league starting it looks treacherous. All the venom gyre builds I looked at last league had huge amounts of gear and I've not seen a convincing league start variant so far. qnqnx posted:Might go for Elementalist EK Ignite with Gloomfang. There is a fair amount of hype surrounding that build, I'd be concerned about gear being expensive. Or at least have a contingency plan. Grimoire posted:I'm guessing spark will be super good for the league mech, because cramped roguelike tunnel arenas. Good point, that spark build looks solid too. Spark is super fun to play, particularly in cramped favorable areas.

Random tip for those that want to get more passive skills and rather get more survivability with your passives until you get better gear, Blight allows you to anoint head, body, boots, and hands with Blight specific armor. Boots: The Stampede - movement speed is 150% base Gloves: Breathstealer - makes spores when you kill a rare for 10 seconds but since there are less rares now, not at good but +cast/atk speed and 16 all resist. if you anoint this it cannot have a lab enchant Helm: one for each defense. sets one resistance to a hard 75 and 50-55% reduction to the the other two. This one is always cheap but the resistance dump is too much. (since the helm says "* resistance is 75", does that mean a debuff to the resistance does nothing?). Can have one lab enchant and the anoint. Body:Sporeguard - when you kill an enemy, it casts fungal ground on yourself OR you can stand still to automatically make the creep. Enemies dying on the creep explodes for 5% chaos damage and everything standing on the creep deal 10% nonchaos damage as extra chaos damage. Running skelemages/skeletons on top of the creep was very noticeable in clear and single target. edit: since I tried melee last after non-stop minions and missed minions so much I'll probably do EA Ballista and try for a Sporeguard since the added chaos wouldn't mess up the EE EVIL Gibson fucked around with this message at 00:15 on Dec 7, 2022 |

If you're having trouble deciding between builds, the Poe builds Reddit is a good resource, in depth discussion of build differences and how they feel to play. Leaning towards doing EA elementalist now.

J posted:There is a fair amount of hype surrounding that build, I'd be concerned about gear being expensive. Or at least have a contingency plan. There's only a few required uniques for ek ignite and gloomfang is common enough it won't be too bad. For uniques I'm worried about polaric devastation early on which will be multiple divines (though buying the invites should be positive ev on that), as well as the skin, and getting a great watchers eye will always suck but a 1mod won't be too bad. But I think clusters and the bow are going to be where the prices are nuts for this one. I'm still strongly considering it because some of the medium investment showcases I've seen look alright and WoC ignite isn't a bad starter regardless of what I transition into.
