That build's single target is probably total rear end. I'm sure it's a blast for clearing yellow maps, but any situation with a high HP mob and nothing to explode around him your damage will drop off a cliff. Plus things that are immune to freeze. They're patching right now and it's migrating characters from Essence to Standard. I'm probably gonna retool my ED Trickster as LL and see where I can go with it.

Nah he was relying on worm flasks to kill rares and bosses which means there's no way you can reasonably do Shaper with it.

we're making it easier to level masters up in 2.5.0. It is now 30% easier to reach level 8 from 7, 20% easier to reach level 7 from 6 and 10% easier to reach level 6 from 5

Not a fan of keeping elemental status immunity maps and curse immune and having map mods weaken armor and evasion.

Vasudus posted:You're effectively trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist. Contagion isn't hard to cast nor keep up, once per pack is all you need. I have mine in a 4L, with increased AoE, increased duration, and faster casting. Putting a curse on your channel is largely a bad idea since 1) just use blasphemy since you'll have the spare mana, and 2) contagion/ED spreads like wildfire and will quickly get out of your channel area anyway. Finally you would be standing still channeling an ability for not much return at all, when one of ED's greatest defensive boosts is the ability to fire and forget. The idea with using Wither is that you actually have the ability to do something to increase DPS when fighting bosses other than casting ED once every 10 seconds. Linking Wither to Contagion actually casts Contagion faster too, it casts in 0.55s of channeling at gem level 20 rather than the normal 0.85s cast time.

Contagion doesn't stack, you cast it once every however many seconds on bosses and you're done. Wither is best left to a totem. Blight is your only real damage booster option as ED and it's apparently laffo damage so maybe in 2.5.0 they'll boost the damage?

So did they just throw something blindly at a dartboard when figuring out what the base damage values for these mechanics should be? I could see starting them all conservatively then buffing them semi-quickly if they don't work out but it seems like they didn't do anything of the sort at all.

I know Contagion doesn't stack, but you just said you linked Contagion to Faster Casting to cast it faster. Well, the Cast While Channeling gem triggers Contagion after 0.55 sec of channeling. That casts Contagion faster than just casting it normally with Faster Casting linked to it. You basically get the Faster Casting gem for free.

So what happens if you have 0 max power charges? I'm guessing nothing by itself since it specifies on reaching, not while at.

This is at least the second time they've made such a unique (there's a shield as well that I cant remember the name of). It makes me think there's some kind of snowflake build we haven't thought of.

I was looking at that new unique bow: Xoph's Inception. Built-in ignite proliferation and damage conversion so you can go pure fire damage with just a Burning Arrow gem (or go Avatar of Fire and use a different skill like Frenzy or Tornado Shot).

Hey, whaddaya know, the two have a lot of synergy. If you had 11 power charges, the long-term and wildly inconsistent effect of the two is: +30% spell damage +33% cold damage (minimum, at 3 frenzy charges) +75-125 cold damage to spells Average of 5 power charges Constant maxed Frenzy charges Which... Isn't worth both hands at all.

So I've had some major build apathy, or maybe just build overload, going into the new league this week. I am thinking a flame totem build because I've never done a totem build before and it looks fun and cheap. I would end up adapting this to something similar but without dumping ex into insanely high end gear. Most builds I usually gently caress up bandits and just keep going anyway. Or I was thinking I would do a tornado shot/barrage archer because I've never really done a bow build. And it seems cheapish. Anyone have experience or input on builds like this? I am sure I could make either work. But if someone actually know what the gently caress they're doing I would appreciate any feedback. fennesz fucked around with this message at 05:01 on Nov 29, 2016 |

Unique chests, double tormented will be fun For the divination cards one the 10 cards one has 5 choices with the immortal and last one standing being two of them. Not as fun as 11 though with level 4 enhance, level 4 empower, level 4 enlighten, 6L body armour and headhunter being in the cards. Cheapest one of them will cost quite a bit to complete. Wish they'd add 13 stack cards and make the total be 10 or 11 Jusupov fucked around with this message at 09:38 on Nov 29, 2016 |

theshim posted:Flameblast is excellent. I'm planning on doing another Vortex character for Breach, using Pyre instead of Hrimburn this time. Flameblast does more raw damage with the hit, but my experience with Vortex igniting had it clearing yellow map bosses in a single ignite, so I'm gonna run that again. It'll be especially nice to not have to use the prolif gem for clearing packs and switching for bosses (though I might just use Inc AoE and Conc Effect as switches anyway). Yeah Vortex pyre is insanity, I one hit every pack levelling, period. I'd say it's way better than Flameblast, you literally don't need more damage than Vortex in my experience, the ignites get to like 20-30k pretty easily. I got a Cospris Malice in Week 2 last league don't think this league will be so lucky, probably going to do a WoE slayer or something this league, I haven't done melee phys in years. modernlifeisadam fucked around with this message at 15:15 on Nov 29, 2016 |
