J posted:Here's a preview of a new skill coming in ascendancy called earthquake. Looks like an iteration on ice crash where they wanted to make a slow hitting, powerful skill, but didn't want to make attack speed the best thing to use with it. The other thing to take away from this: quote:The easiest way to do this is with the Less Duration support gem, which will soon also grant More Damage to duration skills.

You absolutely notice when you get stunned. It happens very infrequently unless you've messed up somewhere in your build, or are doing silly things like taking hits from some of the harder hitting monsters in the game. Edit: In that respect, CWS would likely serve a different purpose (ie- casting something different than you normally put in CWDT) than CWDT, and not be a comparable replacement.

I really want to build max block spellcaster again, but keeping up Bone Offering seems less than appealing even if its effect is amazing. I guess with skill effect and increased duration you could push the duration up to reasonable enough levels?

Apparently one of the helm enchants is 6% attack speed per Reave stack. PER STACK.

Bugsy posted:Base duration is 3 seconds and it gets an extra .5 seconds per corpse. An extra 64% duration from Increased Duration plus an extra 30% from the Mistress nodes should give you at least 10 seconds of uptime. Yea, that's what I was considering doing, along with one of the skill duration nodes on the tree for +45% more. I'd be running Blade Vortex, so the extra duration I'd be picking up anyway.

panda clue posted:chieftan is like the ascendancy for incinerate, and its going to be good with it as well. Why Chieftain? Assuming we're not talking about Incinerate totem, Chieftain gives: 30% increased fire damage, 35% increased damage against burning enemies, and 10% fire penetration (and some leech)? Meanwhile, Elementalist would give you: 30% elemental damage, 8% cast speed, 4s of 100% elemental damage every 10s, 20% fire penetration on casting a lighting skill (Orb of Storms or even just Lightning Warp) and depending on how you're pathing, then the potential for Elemental Conflux. Or you go Inquisitor and gain: 30% elemental damage, 20% spell damage, 4% cast speed & 20% cast speed (activated just by whirling blades), 30% crit multi & 45% crit multi on enemies with status effects, 100% crit chance against enemies with no status effects, and your non-crits will penetrate 10% elemental resistance (same as chieftain) while your Incinerate crits will ignore elemental resistance completely. Considering that the Increased Critical Strikes gem gives base crit now, Incinerate will be able to finally crit. You could probably also build Assassin to go fully Incinerate crit, but I'm kind of partial to the Inquisitor.

NecroMonster posted:elemental conflux probably wouldn't work great with incinerate, very low damage per hit and all Ignite and Frozen will likely not do all that much, but probably be able to Shock at the bare minimum duration, which with the cast speed of Incinerate would likely produce some damage increase.

How significant is the "10% additional chance to receive a critical hit" on the new unique Block Jewel in terms of a drawback? I'm assuming this is just an additive increase to the mob's base crit chance?

Vanguard Warden posted:Does anyone know if the boost to your auras from Commander of Darkness is per each aura? It would be a pretty lovely 2 pointer if it wasn't each, but if it was a singular bonus it would be worded something to the effect of "Gain damage & cast speed while you have an aura" rather than "Auras you cast grant" which implies a benefit to each individual aura.

It doesn't specify "Non-Curse Auras" like the aura nodes on the tree tend to do, so probably?

The way the system is designed, there are always going to be map mods that are 100% impossible for a given build to do and others that are 100% irrelevant and are simply free map quantity.

Monster resistance above the 75% cap doesn't matter for the purposes of elemental penetration. Penetration is calculated at the point of damage after resistances have been calculated up to the cap. So 75% elemental penetration will reduce a monster's resistances from 75 to 0 whether that monster has 75% total resistances or 150% total resistances.

Saki posted:If anyone can critique my terrible Juggernaut build that would be great. I'm using Earthquake, Enduring Cry, Warlords Mark and Leaping strike. Oh, and Herald Of Ash. Cheers. Don't split your damage types. You're Earthquake, so you're physical; drop the fire nodes, they're doing nothing for you (Herald of Ash scales off of your Physical damage anyway). Pickup the Two-Hand damage nodes and eventually settle on a weapon type and pickup those associated damage nodes as well. I'd suggest Maces because they both have an Area increase node on one of their notables, as well as the fact that Marohi Erqi is a Mace and you're going to want that weapon eventually. Go up through templar and pickup the Area wheel for more AOE and damage. You want to avoid attack speed nodes (ie- attack speed nodes that don't otherwise have anything else useful on them) when you could have taken damage nodes instead.

Vasudus posted:Yeah I'm thinking movespeed too. Status effect clearing sounds so tempting though. Well for one thing, flasks. If you are a lowlife build, it does nothing for you because it triggers "when you reach lowlife" not "when on lowlife" like the Armour/Evasion bonus on the same node states. And if you're not a lowlife build and are triggering the bonus, something horrible is going wrong and status ailments are likely going to be the least of your worries.

Has anyone else had some problems loading areas (it just hangs on the loading screen) lately? Beginning of the league, no problem, everything worked like it always worked, except the DirectX11 setting actually made things a hell of a lot smoother. So I was happy. Then today and yesterday, after the first couple transitions between areas, sooner or later I'll click a town, or my hideout, or just the area I was wanting to go to, it'll pop up the loading screen...and that's all I'll see until I have to force close the game.

A person who finished a league with 25c, reached tier 5 at most in maps, and is still at the point where level 80 is a significant leveling accomplishment, is going to gain more from having a steady source of supplementary income that is readily accessible than attempting to hyperfocus on efficiency for efficiency's sake.

Can a max block life character (Blade Flurry) make much use out of Melee Damage on Full Life? I'd have to drop Blood Rage, obviously, but I really don't want to rechrome this 5-link that hit 4 of 5 colours. Alternatively, I could just stick Fortify in there and have it permanently up which would also be nice.
