Man, I'm still hoping that the Ascendancy trees could make CI/ES builds not heinously expensive, I'd like to try one for once :(

They're not that expensive.

The Varanustra sword might be an okay starter endgame weapon, but it pales in comparison to a proper 300pdps 1-hander that you really want. Stacking a ton of linear return multiplier won't be as effective as boosting your more multiplier with more base damage.

It's 270 PDPS with quality and you can easily hit 600%+ on a tree with it.

According to my maths is 250pdps with quality. Whetstone quality is additive, not multiplicative, with local increased %physical damage.

Edit: The more I think about it, the more I do think such a build is intriguing. How you you build your tree around it?

Oh hmm. I thought they changed it back when they did it for armor.

e: apparently they didn't do it for either? :confused:

Look like an awesome skin transfer.

It's ~310 ES with quality and I'm assuming this is a low roll. With 300 str its another 60 ES (its global so the local modifier won't apply). 400 ES/500 armor 70 life 15 all res ZO chest seems decent.

Just to clarify something, is it possible to get multiple ascendancy classes from the same base class? So as a Witch, can I say put 2 points into Necromancer, then 4 points into Occultist, or any combination thereof?

No

I'm talking about like, Patch 1.0.3 (June or so) where it literally didn't matter what gear you had in A3+, if you got hit more than once you died. Most rares just one shotted you anyway.

It was definitely possible but I am going to call you a filthy liar if you try to tell me you did all of A3 and A4 without dying until Diablo. Either you are the best Monk player who ever existed or you're talking about some point post nerfs.

I did it all prenerf. I killed Diablo like a day or 2 before the nerf.

I'm speaking from a perspective of somebody who has ~70 premium tabs, so I might be a bit biased but giving everybody a free premium tab might be a good way for the players to start abuse the system (i.e. create an account now and re-sell it later).

I think they should make this tab an extra award if you'd i.e. kill Malachai on normal or something similar which involves the player a little.

Why would you resell it if it was just a thing every account had. You're assuming it'd be some limited time thing.

TheRat posted:

Kyle, are you trying to tell me you dont have premium? This is going to have consequences.

That's irrelevant.

Any new or returning player is going to offput with paygating something as essential as trading. Imagine if Lockstep was paygated.

"Hey did they ever fix trading?" "Sorta and you have to pay for it" is not a good way to get players to return of new players to join if their biggest issue is trading.

Or "Yeah theres free trading but you have to use a 3rd party tool that either spoofs your login or you outright give it to" Which they even say is something that doesn't look good to new players.

And how long will that last? What if he starts stealing login info or someone else does?

Why even go to the length of keeping it walled if you know it hurts new players and it looks shady to even use those 3rd party tools. Its not like its some limitation.

Yeah, it really sucks that GGG made you unable to trade at all, post on the trade forums, or talk in trade unless you have a premium stash tab.

Yeah no one ever complained about that stuff or quit because of it. They totally did this trade update because everyone enjoyed doing that before. :jerkbag:

You do know that most of the changes dont require premium tabs right? And we havent even heard from ggg if they plan to offer a free tab to people, which I strongly suspect they will.

There's 2 changes in the blogpost they posted and 90% of it is the public stash tabs. The other half is some API stuff to more reliably see if someone is online. I'm sure that other half is make or break unlike the first half.

Couldnt you just keep using your 3rd party program to list poo poo

Yes you as a current player aren't affected. What about a returning or new player? Fork over $20 on this game you just started or give your login to a third party thing you have to download shouldn't be an answer to "how do I trade?"

Uses such as "possibly setting up buy orders if such a thing existed" and "currency trading possibly easier" and "more items listed"

I got a consuming dark dagger last night from Cadiro for pretty cheap. It's 50% damage conversion. The infernal mantles I see on poe.trade are all 25% conversion. Can you still get 100% fire to damage conversion from another unique or is it now capped at 75% now?

You get 2 of the daggers

So I was doing maps when I see Cadiro eagerly trying to sell me one of his precious items. I went to him and he offered me an aegis aurora for cheap and I immediately bought it. What is this shield good for? I know its expensive but is there a build that uses this? I was thinking of selling it and buying something like shavronne's since I get to try low life builds for once unless there is something fun to use it with.

You use it with a max block build to never run out of energy shield. I don't know of any current popular builds with it but it was popular in one of the "Blender" builds.

If I want to take the tooltip DPS challenge (not literally, just trying to deal massive dips–it doesn't actually have to be on the tooltip) and just try to one-shot bosses in PSC what's my best bet? I was thinking assassin self-cast discharge w/ all 3 elements and a bunch of curses but I'm open to suggestions. I also briefly considered tri-golem self-cast discharge elementalist w/ the 20% resist pierce node and elemental overload, but I'm not sure that would be better than just running actual crit. I'll die to reflect either way, but v0v.

Vaal RF for sure. If you get VP and link it to LL and use warlords mark blasphemy you can't even die to reflect
