Mouse1 = force move or sometimes an instant cast skill I don't mind autocasting Mouse2 = main skill mouse4 = shield charge or leap slam mouse5 = single target supplement, like a totem or a curse or arcanist brand ASDFG = flasks QWER = other skills on the 1st bar. Spacebar = oh poo poo defensive button like vaal molten shell or whatever CTRL+W/E/R = auras on the 2nd bar If the build has more buttons than that I'll combine the auras onto 1 button and incorporate Z/X/C for the extras.

When I used kb&m I had movement on mouse 2, I liked my skill on Q or whatever. Game feels a lot better with a controller, sorry haters.

Seems like a lot of starter talk in the community is about RF as well as Cold dot/vortex Elementalist. subtractem also seems to think his ele fire trap build should be unscathed.

Wuxi posted:Then just level with Arma Brand/Cremation. 20 to 28 might feel a bit scuffed without the wand craft, but the new fire mastery buffs Arma Brand through the stratosphere during the campaign Yeah, Arma was the plan but it's not available until 28. If I stick with witch I'll probably still just do HFT / Firewall / Rolling Magma until then, it'll just be a little weaker. (I didn't care about Onslaught personally, I'm not fast enough for it to matter, just seems petty). Edit: Never played RF, but yeah, def seems some low-key hype that RF is viable earlier now or something?

Is there a reason to level with Cremation over Brand Recall nuking for single target with Arma brand? I haven't played brands before but I see you can get a ton of recall CDR with just Brand Equity + mastery alone. Planning to level with it for 3.21 so nice to know.

it's weird, sometimes with summon phantasm on LMB I can't pick up items. other times I can. but I can seem to pick up items with steelskin on LMB so I'll just leave that there. mechanics question: if I have summon raging spirit linked to totem support (turning it into a totem), will it still benefit from minion damage bonus passive skill bonuses, melee physical support gem, and chance to poison support gem? I am guessing: yes, but if not, I don't want to be wasting effort on linking all that.

Yes 2. If you mouseover a support gem a box will pop up telling you which of your socketed active gems it does/does not support. The only time it might lie is when it comes to something like linking two Trigger supports to the same skill, as that will actually disable the skill entirely.

I am guessing: yes, but if not, I don't want to be wasting effort on linking all that. Yes, the support gems you listed link directly to the Raging Spirit gem. The Spell Totem is immaterial in this, it's just the way the Summon Raging Spirit spell gets eventually cast. The summoned Raging Spirits benefit from all your passive minion boosts. edit: nevermind the rest, i'm too drunk to phrase this in an intelligible way StoryTime fucked around with this message at 21:07 on Mar 31, 2023 |

You can pick up items with an instant skill on left click. From your reports, you also can sometimes with another spell on lmb, but I'm guessing it's cool down related? Either way, when people said put a "guard skill" on left click, steelskin is a guard so it looks like you found the good play here. I continue to enjoy your posts, and I continue to be pleasantly surprised by your progress!

My weta box had those burning boots in it, which I guess is a sign that I should go from maybe starting RF to definitely. How do people feel about Jugg vs. Inquis? Looking at Pohx's stuff Jugg is easier to gear but Inquis does better at bossing, if I'm reading that right. I hate bossing anyway so I'd roll Jugg in that case. also, Captain Foo posted:Movement skill on W gang

You don't need to have Summon Phantasm on any of your slots. It's triggered by whatever it's linked to killing an enemy or hitting a rare/unique.

Noper Q posted:You don't need to have Summon Phantasm on any of your slots. It's triggered by whatever it's linked to killing an enemy or hitting a rare/unique. yah my bad I meant raise spectre, not summon phantasm. I just went through and redid my gear: https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/pmchem/characters goal was to dump old items with low stats, and get the 4-linked-slot summon raging spirit to replace my holy fire totem. I also used the 4 blue link item to link in spectre to my other supported summon skills. not using the ancestral/purity/animate/herald/clarity gems -- those can be ignored -- I just had some empty slots and threw those in for levelling. skills are: steelskin / move only (spacebar) / frostblink raise skele / desecrate / spectre / SRS / bone offering vitality / precision / discipline / zombie / dread banner I think I'd rather have a good armor glove than my evasion glove, but it is what it is for now. my one glaring defensive hole is zero chaos resist; I'm contemplating throwing some points to go toward Asylum to plug that gap, but would rather beeline toward Death Attunement because it seems... super good for a summoner?

Big Mad Drongo posted:My weta box had those burning boots in it, which I guess is a sign that I should go from maybe starting RF to definitely. Only done the Inquis version, but if you're one of those people who wants to use their final skill setup ASAP, Jugg you can do RF after normal lab whereas you need to wait for cruel lab to make the switch on Inquis. Also, keep in mind that the Eternal Damnation amulet, which delivers quite a lot of tank for Jugg characters, was a drop from Lycia, which means it won't be in Crucible. pmchem posted:I think I'd rather have a good armor glove than my evasion glove, but it is what it is for now. my one glaring defensive hole is zero chaos resist; I'm contemplating throwing some points to go toward Asylum to plug that gap, but would rather beeline toward Death Attunement because it seems... super good for a summoner? Chaos res is probably something you can ignore until about halfway through the campaign, but an actual HC player (I've hit 90 once, 75 another time, and that's about it) might want to chime in.

Chaos Res is nice. Nice enough that I spec the Occultist ascendancy node and sometimes I use +chaos Res base rings. But I don't really shoot for full 75% chaos Res anymore, it's so expensive as an auxiliary defensive layer.

I really don't like the stutter step Inquis movement style, the concentrated path is such a large part of your Regen that you cannot just forget to get the buff. Jugg is easy, just make number go up.

Man, the more I think about it, the more I think Crucible has the potential to be a really fuckin good league mechanic. Unlike last league, everyone's going to get *something* out of the additional power granted from the league items. And unlike Kalandra, you're modifying your (rare) items at will from the start.

ok, here's my loadout getting ready to go after Piety this evening. let me know if anything looks uh super bad for that? https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/pmchem/characters already finished the library and archives, got access to more gems through that ghost's quest. easy areas. about 1200 hp, shade under 400 energy shield. feels weird leaving sockets empty! big question mark is whether to replace determination (50% reservation!) with other stuff, like purity of elements. my resists are all around 50%, so not bad, but purity's immunity to elemental effects is tempting. trying to avoid evasion, for now, since I'm not putting passives in a dex tree and I expect that eventually I just won't be able to wear any useful dex armor (probably... it's unclear how requirements will scale). I blew my passive points going to purity of flesh for extra hp pool, and will be going back to minion offense with my next set of points.

I think I'm starting champ, not sure what skill yet. Maybe bows, maybe melee, probably not a caster. Stance swap for permanent onslaught + adrenaline and crazy recovery, Kaom's Spirt and "Every 4 seconds, regenerate life equal to 1% of armour and evasion rating over 1 second" mastery to sustain Berserk. I click a lot instead of holding when moving anyway so I don't think the swapping will be that bad.

pmchem posted:ok, here's my loadout getting ready to go after Piety this evening. let me know if anything looks uh super bad for that? I do think I'd value purity of elements over determination because it just solves freeze, shock, and ignite. But I'm not a hardcore player and determination might be doing a lot for you in managing physical hits. Idk if you want spoilers for the fight so I'm spoiler tagging this next advice cause it's not about something you actually talk about here. And thinking about it, it's more relevant slightly later on than piety a3 anyway. So read if you dare! Do you have a way to deal with bleed or corrupted blood effects yet? If not, perhaps look for one. You should have enough Einhar beasts to put a suffix on a flask for it. Alternately, make sure you have a lot of life Regen, or are ready to portal/log on a dime.

Did a bit of testing if anyone wants to use this new mastery:pre:(New) Gain Adrenaline for 1 second when you change Stance You can't trigger it because it has a reservation so I tried the left click tech. If you enable always attack then it sort of works. If you just hold down the button it is not triggered but if you left click sometime during that 1 second and then keep holding the stance change is triggered so it isn't to jank. Otherwise you could of course go with the scripting method but seemed neat.

pmchem posted:ok, here's my loadout getting ready to go after Piety this evening. let me know if anything looks uh super bad for that? I think someone mentioned this upthread, but in case you missed it: Chance to Poison isn't doing much for your Raging Spirits setup. You'd be much better off moving the other three gems from your hat to your gloves and throwing in a different support. Minion Speed or Damage are your best bets, but even something like Added Lightning would be stronger than Poison. Also, you probably want to pull at least one of the minions out of your chest so the other two can have more than one damage support. Spectre is the hardest to use consistently during the campaign, so that's the one I'd move. Also, something that's not obvious: any gems in your weapon-swap slots still gain XP, so if you're low on slots and want to keep leveling gems you're not currently using, you can keep them there.

pmchem posted:ok, here's my loadout getting ready to go after Piety this evening. let me know if anything looks uh super bad for that? One big problem I see is that you don't have a dedicated dps 4-link. Your SRS is close but the spell totem support is kind of a waste IMHO. I guess the idea is you just place the totem and forget about it? But you're losing a ton of dps from it from both less damage and less cast speed. And SRS is already a fire and forget skill, so you don't really need a totem to do that for you. I'd suggest sticking SRS in your gloves and linking it to Melee Phys, Minion Damage, and one other support gem. Minion Speed, Fire Penetration, Added Fire Damage, Elemental Damage With Attacks, and Elemental Army are all good choices. Purity of Elements is extremely good so I'd go with that.
