TheRat posted:There are attack-based trap builds, frenzy charges do more than just give more damage (in fact they didnt give more damage at all until fairly recently) and the unique chest does more than give frenzy charges. I think they feel fairly well thought out, and you can be sure GGG were well prepared for the entitled shitfest that is reddit. I'm sure there are attack based trap builds (not that I can think of any) but you gotta admit that they are mostly used with spells, like all the stand alone traps. That more damage change wasn't fairly recently that was years ago and before that they were underused.

gonadic io posted:I've just realised how well the new Chance To Bleed works with Doomfletch Prism with its huge added phys. Forget the rest of the gem, this is the first one with flat added phys damage to attacks right? Yes, it's an absolute shitload of damage with no downside other than taking up a gem spot. I'm gonna run a doomfletch build either first or second this coming league.

GGG already has a response to the backlash in the development manifesto section of their website. Phone posting so I can't link it easily. Chris basically says "guys we DO play poe please stop saying we don't" along with why they made the changes.

Power charges being good for non-crit spellcaster builds is a really good point that I didn't consider. I might actually do that now.

I love how mad people get that a build they've played to death gets nerfed, especially when they've already been complaining that they were forced to play that build.

Shock/freeze stuff seems fine, I'm fairly indifferent towards it overall. The charges seem restrictive and half-finished. If they go through as they are now, I would want powersiphon to be renamed frenzysiphon

quote:Ice Bite now adds flat cold damage and cold damage per frenzy charge The Tempest with added cold / added lightning as raider with Horror essenced rings and quiver. The ramp up time is going to suck though. I would have to restrict myself to Split Arrow for clearing I suppose - and no room for Hypothermia. Probably will have to pick either lightning or cold. This is actually an interesting problem (for me), I was going to have a full week out still - but I basically have to jump in the beta again.

I played a ST build with kaom's roots in the two week race and I was not really hurting for the lost sockets. That gave me a pretty weird idea for 3.0. What I'm trying to make work in PoB is a pretty standard non-crit dreamfeather ST build scaling fire damage. The twist is that I kinda want to try using molten strike in hysteria gloves as single target. The problem then is making a tree which can use two wildfire jewels and pick up the other things a pathfinder ele attack build wants. My first try looks something like this, which is pretty meh This is also assuming I get my hands on a perfect form, and I don't know how expensive that will be. Anyone have any feedback? (other than "don't")

Katasi posted:I feel like I would use Lightning Arrow. In the hypothetical that I was running Added Cold, Added Lightning, Innervate, Ice Bite I don't think giving up WED makes much sense - which I would have to in order to get GMP. That's why I basically concluded that I have to commit to either cold or lightning, but it might work with Split Arrow. I was just getting excited about the potential for fixing the hipster build I have been trying and failing to make for the last couple of leagues.

Having played with Immolate (another added elemental), it's probably weaker than the new innervate and ice bite. It's more reliable to give yourself the buff rather than having to apply the effect on the mob before the buff can be applied. Though it would be really nice to have actual hard numbers though.

It seems the chill/shock changes are there to make it so players can take advantage of things that affect enemies that are chilled/shocked, so you can apply weak chills/shocks to things but still be able to get stuff like The Pandemonius to be more consistent. That's my reading of it after a little thought, anyway. also funman what should I start this league with

what ascendancy would be good for storm burst? So many choices. Crit SB with an Inquisitor? EO Berserker? Elementalist? I wish the skills were in beta to play around with.

SB seems meh for cwc since the damage is supposed to be backloaded on the release, similar to blade flurry.

So I messed around in the most recent race in SSF with an elemental archer as the Raider. I got a Doomfletch to drop pretty early and I had a lot of fun with the character despite not pushing to maps. I hear a lot of people talk about Doomfletch Inquisitor, but how much better is it (or is it better?) than a Raider picking up all the frenzy charge stuff? For skills I used Ice Shot and Lightning Arrow (I had never used LA so even though its a pretty common build it was new to me and I liked it), so I would want to focus on one of those two skills. I was thinking either Ice Shot with the threshold jewel and HoI for pack clear, but I don't know if Ice Shot has enough single target damage for map bosses. I'm not sure what single target skill I would use if I went with LA.

Having played with the numbers and the skill tree a bit, I do believe committing to either cold or lightning is best. Though I don't think Innervate is actually worth it. Unfortunately I can't get The Tempest to outperform a decent Windripper, mainly because of the low crit chance. The good news is that it should be workable even at endgame but Windripper and Doomfletch's Prism remain the two best unique bows in the game though of course we haven't seen any from the new patch yet (for the record there are no rare elemental bows for sale in Legacy that can even compete). ^^ Ice Shot is a cool skill, but the threshold doesn't do much for it and LA is pretty unanimously considered better. For single target Barrage is the top pick, some people like Blast Rain though.

How does ED feel to play as a starter? Curious about ED trickster with the changes now. Made a quick mockup of a MoM ED trickster in path of building that has 62k dot damage on a 6L while completely naked, with no other skills or curses. I was really hoping the most recent changes would have included some sort of buff for blasphemy's radius.

I knew about blasphemy gaining area with gem levels. Even at 19 though, it didn't feel great, playing in beta wave 3. I didn't have +area nodes though. Things like blast radius effect blasphemy? Or are we talking things like hex master?

Aura gems get +1 radius per 1 level. E: I got it slightly wrong, it's +1 radius per 3 levels, +7 radius at lvl20. 7 radius is quite significant still.
