Count Uvula posted:CoC and Blade Vortex changes were motivated atleast partially by performance issues they cause. Blade Vortex will be just as strong or stronger against anything but bosses v CoC poison bladefall seems like it'd still be good, I was only using 1 spell anyway and added chaos + poison + concentrated effect is pretty loving good (until the double-dipping change).

But why wouldn't you just self cast a 6l bladefall. Or use a spell totem? Or traps? Or even mines?

BV change makes it a little more fun, at least for my lazy and impatient rear end. Wonder how it should be built now that the blade count's lower. Can similar flask bullshit be achieved?

Against normal enemies... Sorry but I doubt you'll ever run dry during mapping. Plus maybe you can swap out some inc duration now for damage (node or gem)

Extremely low mana cost, the ability to trigger bleeds (and then maims) with your attack with Assassin, um...that's about it. It's nowhere near as good of course but I think that my character will still be able to continue just fine.

I'm convinced though. Life poison shockwave for my first character and LL RF ignite vortex once I have the currency. E: I'm leaning towards occultist and scion chief-gladiator or possibly guardian respectively.

might roll a coc coldsnapper if coc stuff is now really cheap... linked voll's protectors and vagan daggers should be pennies now right? will voll's devotions be affordable (hah)? not sure how to increase the damage, though. what goes in the links? hmm. can't be Arc. hypothermia? it's a %more. not sure there's any way to dispense with voll's... hm. 100% chance to cast when critting doesn't reduce the charge consumption. still, it's an enormous damage boost if they forget to prevent cold snap from consuming charges to get around the cooldown

Bah. Just as I finally get to start playing my cyclone jugg these assmunchers go and nerf it because of some other build. Fanks a bunch. Well, maybe blasphemy + warlords mark still generates enough endurance charges to trigger the 30% decently, but it's still annoying to have defenses reduced to lottery.

The EC nerf on Juggernaut just means you can't pull off bullshit infinite duration immortal calls as easily, while maintaining charges remains mostly the same.

Use enduring cry every 15 seconds, it's not a big deal at all. Or better yet, get into the habit of automatically popping enduring cry every time you take damage and you'll stop thinking about it after an hour or two.

Lightning arrow was still more popular before pierce + frostwall became the default, but people used a second link for something like blast rain. Either way, tornado shot is a solid option too.

They're mostly interchangeable, it's just that TS doesn't need another skill for single target but LA will probably have higher clear speed (not accounting for Slivertongue).

i switched to LA/blast rain after i could afford enough gear, just wanted to make sure there wasn't some reason besides frostwall that made LA just better even before you got your hands on a voltaxic or whatever.

I'm gonna run with my ED Trickster with some minor tweaks then I think, get on the Poison train while it's still double-dipping goodness. Can't see the flat 20% nerf having too big an impact on its viability. Curse effectiveness nerf is kinda bleh for it but oh well. If Wither totem ends up not viable with the channeling changes will that be a big hit to the build?

Its bullshit but it's a kind of bullshit I can respect. Also, I suspect that Silvertongue would go quite well with Volley fire Barrage.

It's theory crafting time! Scion LL RF Vortex Vortex + Inc AoE (or Concentrated Effect) + Chance to Ignite + Controlled Destruction + Hypothermia + ??? (Rapid Decay, or Fire pen?) 105 points, (102 really thanks to the free points from Ascendant). 100% chance to ignite with Flammability, capped block and spell block with Rumi's. From the tree: ~170% increased (double-dipping) damage, a bit extra on the burn, and then lots of more multipliers from RF, pain attunement, and the linked gems. Also IR if I so choose. 180% increased ES, +40 to base. Can sustain RF with a totem up (depending exactly on my life/es ratio), before my gear gets that good I'll have to either spend more points or use a life regen amulet. As I level more I can swap to a rare shield with Leo's mod or potentially even Aegis Aurora. Can happily turn it off when the map mods are too hard. Uniques: Rise of the Phoenix Gang's Momentum Pyre Stone of Lazhwar Vertex/Black Sun's Crest/item corrupted with +1 gems/level 4 empower Rumi's Solaris Lorica/Shav's A few Energy From Withins e: whoops, forgot to include the life bonus from Energy from Within jewels gonadic io fucked around with this message at 13:42 on Aug 31, 2016 |

Whoops, when I was reading from the tree I forgot to convert the life bonus to ES from Energy from Within jewels. Fixed now. e: or there's this tree which drops some of the damage and only has a 90% chance to ignite, but gets 240 or so increased ES. gonadic io fucked around with this message at 13:54 on Aug 31, 2016 |

HoG seemed to just be "Please let Dyness spawn so I can take her card... welp there goes 1/90 of a mirror" and "pls god no no no augh not the LA FW guy... rip im dead from offscreen, couldn't even read his name". Although it would be extra funny if they made more LA FW guys after the nerfs.

It'll be interesting to see how the double dipping fix to poison ends up shaking out. Hopefully it'll leave the possibility for reasonable stuff like chaos damage to double up but get rid of stuff that just conceptually makes no sense like projectile and aoe damage. I'd be sad to see the few specialized chaos skills like essence drain lose their ability to set up strong poisons.

I've never played a trapper/miner- how big of a deal is the bladefall nerf? (starting at the trap/mine instead of the monster). Just wanted to check before planning a character for the new league.

Thinking this will be my first character this league, Explosive Arrow Chieftain. Probably level as Firestorm until I can nab a Quill Rain. I'm thinking about pathing over to EE with some cold or lightning damage on a ring or something. The dex nodes are all placeholders to deal with gem requirements, probably won't need all of them. Anything look particularly out of place? Tips?
