No. I dont go west of duelist at all. Here's my work-in-progress tree (needs updated offline calc). I cant make up my mind about the shadow-area, because of the clusterfuck that is the new nodes there. Other than that I'm pretty happy with it. One option I'm considering is dropping the damage nodes below shadow crit for frenzy charges. I could also try to work in weapon artistry/aspect of the lynx. E: This isnt something I've come up with myself btw. I came across this and tried to update it to 2.1.

Mystery Prize posted:I should rephrase and say that it is possible, but quite a lot less efficient. Your character at level 93-96 (depending upon act 2 skillpoints vs other benefits) has 193% life and 154% evasion, vs the random level 80 cyclone marauder I just threw together that ends up with 210% life and 186% armor with 13 less points spent. It also does a buttload more damage over a LOT larger aoe funmanguy posted:Also, you a brave man rat, going melee acro. I wouldn't do that in sc.

MannersPlease posted:Is the buff to spec throw enough to make it viable? I got banans when they were on sale last and I haven't played that build... Mathil also talks about how his damage is still great with a weapon in the chaos range. Also you're understating "viable" a bit I feel, He killed uber in a 5-week league with an ele build. As for 2.1, you can now drop blood magic and life leech gem because you get attack damage mana + life leech on the tree. Thats going to be absolutely bonkers. I'm in the process of convincing myself to play ST instead of reave. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvUeK3pmu-g <- Mathil's crit ele sword st guide poeurl.com/tiT <- Mathil's preliminary 2.1 build (needs new offline planner)

Katasi posted:It just occurred to me that the changes to Lightning Strike could make Mjolner good again, does anyone know if that would be enough to make it strong? ???????? SuicideSnowman posted:I wonder of the radius increase on Detonate Dead would make it a viable skill, I've always found it kind of lacking in PoE. In Diablo 2 I had a blast with a corpse explosion build back in the day. I really hate the mechanics of detonate dead when prolif is no longer viable. It used to be one of my favorite skills, but I dont really see it being that comfortable unless they make prolif better.

People requested a short writeup about my groundslammer so here goes: I wanted to remake Ghudda's RT DW groundslammer, which he shows off in this video. There's a few changes from back then: * GS has buit in increased AoE now, so we dont have to path to templar nodes * Fortify has been added to the game, and its an excellent main skill support together with the fortify nodes on the tree. * Life leech has been completely reworked and is really really strong even without cherrubim's maleficence * Bloodrage is phys degen so we can use it for massive attackspeed bonus and frenzy generation * Frenzy charges have been buffed * Aura curses have been added, making for better leech, better stun and automatic endurance charge generation With this in mind, my skilltree looks something like this. Mainhand weapon is a fast, high physical damage mace. The faster the better. Offhand is Prismatic Eclipse with 2-3 green sockets. I'm currently using 2 because I want a red socket for increased duration. You dont need movement speed on boots, because all your travelling will be done with superfast leapslam. The rest of your gear should just be armour, life, resistances and flat physical damage. You're also gonna need a fair bit of int and dex on gear/the tree. Links: Ground slam->Multistrike->Melee phys->Fortify->Increaed AOE Blood magic->Leap slam->Faster attacks->Enduring Cry Hatred | Summon Flame Golem->Blind Blasphemy->Warlords mark Bloodrage->Vaal haste->Increased Duration Playstyle is to just leap around like a bunny on aderall and slam the poo poo out of everything.

Boozie posted:I need advice for my non-crit Arc Templar. Should I go all-in on str/Iron Will and get sun crest helm and alberon boots that boost str with the Doon Mace or should I stick to some other more conventional ways for lightning damage like doryani's belt. Or a combination of the 2? For non-crit arc I strongly advice getting a Geofri's crest and put arc/echo/controlled destruction/lightning pen in it. Then when/if you can afford it, upgrade that to a vertex. If you want iron will, grab a good pair of repentance gloves for global iron will. For the vaal storm call, I would suggest echo/lightning pen or echo/increased duration depending on how often you find yourself fighting very resistant mobs. Again though, repentance gloves will allow you to put this in a 4link and go for echo/duration/pen.

I just didn't know what to call Kaom and the whole organs/malachi bullshit after mapping is accessible. "Frivolous repetitive story content"? Completionist/something to test your character with/challenge goal. Most people will grab the final skillpoint in act4 and then grind dried lake/do maps. I killed malachai merciless for the first time ever a couple of days ago, and I've got at least 20 chars above lvl80 since a4 released.

Something everyone seems to forgeet about Touch of God (and vaal slam) is that they are 50/50 physical and lightning (fire for vaal slam). You need topaz/ruby AND granite to properly tank it. E: Ok I see this was actually mentioned a few posts above, but a lot of people dont know this so it doesnt hurt to say it twice
