I said come in! posted:I feel like this is what GGG wants you to be doing anyways, the game is leaning closer and closer to being like this. Yeah, they've done a pretty good job of making a shitton of different builds at least map-viable, even if not optimal.

Ice Nova was already pretty good, tempting to run it again but I've already done two Ice Nova dudes recently in 1mo leagues. On the other hand, the EK, spark, arc & ball lightning buffs are also intriguing. I think I still wanna start a chaos caster with the new poo poo though. Also lightning strike could be good again?

I haven't had time to theory craft for poo poo or even look at most of the new info closely. Are there any decent-looking chaos caster trees yet? I really can't decide what I want to do off the bat. Chaos caster, light arrow, crit ice/shock nova, summoner or poison arrow again? Ideally something relatively gear independent that can stack iir & iiq down the road. Also I'm stuck at work all day today  Edit: also tempted by ele ST with the leech changes, gotta use that seraph mtx. Cyclone coc plus the new blade skill sounds interesting too, but I think I'll save that for a second char. Hauki fucked around with this message at 17:41 on Dec 11, 2015 |

Right after that area was added, Nugi made a habit of trolling people he was playing with, telling them it was like dominus's rain and you had to stand in the glowing circle to avoid it. At least several people fell for it.

someone was asking about ED/Cont, so here's my current planned tree: http://poeurl.com/t9l links in no particular order are: cont - iaoe - inc dur - fast cast ed - rapid decay - void manip - controlled destr - some choice of fast proj, slow proj, empower (currently IIR) wither - spell totem - iaoe - optional inc. dur blasphemy - vuln - temp chains - AA/clarity if needed Your choice of golem, CWDT link and movement skill. I've been swapping between flame dash and light warp, currently running chaos golem over fire. I've got enough mana regen from gear & tree now that clarity isn't really needed, so I dropped that and took the aura cluster to fit AA. Currently I get enough life regen from ED that with judicious pot use I'm fine sustaining. Only unique is winds of change. edit: also sniper and potency of will are considerations for QoL. More jewel slots could be good if you have good rare jewels (I have zero). Hauki fucked around with this message at 23:32 on Dec 13, 2015 |

All in all I'm much happier with it today than I was last night. Projectile speed from winds of change helps a lot, and I'm debating picking up Sniper as well.

Phobophilia posted:I never took advantage of the post-2.0 eldritch battery/mind over matter/zealot's oath mechanics, but how do you build around it these days? Real quick, ED doesn't sustain life with ZO specced. They changed it to regen prelaunch instead of whatever it was termed previously. That's part of the reason I specced back out of it.

Phobophilia posted:Ugh, the wording is "Regenerate 0.50% of Debuff Damage as Life", which goes into the same recovery pool as if you have or don't have Zealot's Oath. I see now. No split pool sustaining here. I was 100% serious earlier when I said I'm sustaining mana without clarity. I ran it up until 66-68 and then swapped to AA. My mana regen is about 80/s without clarity and with as little as you have to actually cast with this build, that's plenty. I was keeping a hybrid pot on for a while just in case, but I virtually never use it.

Jaknuts posted:Regarding your IIR in ED. How can you be sure that the tick that kills the mob is essence drain and not contagion? I get a lot more rares than I would ordinarily. My contagion ticks for a tiny fraction of the ED damage, like 1/20th or less.  And yeah, I'm leveling an empower but its only like 7% qual plus 4% from a haku 1her, so it's taking forever.

Is there a better filter that will show them, or should I really not be picking them up? it only occasionally does this and I can't figure out why, but I also haven't bothered to look at the filter personally yet I think maybe only if it's a significantly lower ilvl than the zone you're in?

Zo posted:This is basically my first time playing PoE and I'm up to low tier mapping on HC tali. I was wondering, with my resists capped, is there a point in having extra resists past the cap? Just doing a normal fire totem build. That sure is a ring. There are both curses and map mods that can reduce resistances, so that's one reason to overcap. Something like that ring can also give you a ton of leeway in your other gear though, allowing you to fit an extra unique in or using a rare that's otherwise great but maybe a bit light on resists for its slot. I dunno, personally I'd almost definitely keep it, it's probably irreplaceable in a temp league, but I guess it depends on the state of the rest of your gear and what your currency situation is.

bakka bakka posted:The Goddess Unleashed is so unfortunate. It had a lot of interactions but the designer decided that those didn't fit his idea for the item and now it doesn't look very good at all. Instead he made several mediocre leveling items with weird restrictions, requiring a bizarre and (for its limited use) expensive recipe including a preposterously rare unique to start the whole thing off. Is it still in the same drop frequency as like, shav's or whatever? I've had three of the fuckers to my 0 lifetime shav's.

Ekster posted:There are plenty of map bosses, especially in high tiers, that do absurd spike damage. You deal with them by taking the appropriate resistance flask, hitting them offscreen or just skipping them altogether. Yeah, I'm with you there. My most successful endgame characters have always been ones that can offscreen or dump dps while kiting/dodging at the edge of the screen, because I don't like skipping bosses and I'll still run them knowing its not actually worth the time or the risk.

NerdyMcNerdNerd posted:It's a lot more fun to play this game when you pick a build that isn't poo poo and roll up a good character instead of just picking stuff at random based on some stupid idea you had at 2AM. The first box I check on every single poe.tr search I do is "online only" unless it's like a one of a kind item. Even then it's this awful fruitless roulette of unanswered PMs, people who are in fact offline, and my personal favorite, dude who pretends he's already sold the item and promptly relists it for 2-4 times his previous listed buyout. Recently I was trying to get a particular jewel with an odd combo of stats, somewhat well-known dude had what I needed with a b/o of 3 chaos. I PM him, he doesn't reply, but I can see him zoning around between hideouts, towns etc, so I try again. Still doesn't reply. I try again. Now he claims he's in a map, despite whois telling me he's in Sarn. I say alright, whatever, hit me up if you want to sell. Forty minutes later he replies with "sry alrdy sold", then not a minute later, relists it for 30c. Luckily I'd found a virtually identical jewel during his horseshit and paid 2c. I just don't understand poo poo like this at all, and yet it happens constantly. Word is HC is better for this because items and characters are constantly leaving the league, so there's more incentive to continue trading past the first few days into the league.

I tend to dink around on whatever variation of my dumbass summoner build I want to make first and then start doing even stupider builds later but these dropped as I was screwing around solo and now I'm curious. They're still fine, but the combination of nerfs to their inherent block, Bringer of Rain and block on the tree made the build that used them significantly worse than other options.

Beasteh posted:I'm midway through act 4 Merciless on my first character, an Arc witch. Level 68. What should I be doing? I have barely any idea what half of this poo poo in my inventory does/is worth. You should stop as soon as you get your skill point quest done in A4 and then start some combination of dried lakes or maps or whatever floats your boat. Tbh most of what's in your inventory probably isn't worth much - take a look at an arc guide and see how they gear their dudes, but the basic gist is you'll want to max your resists in merc (75%, or 135% total res), then fit in as much life and damage on gear as you can afford. If you don't have many maps, ask in guild chat, most of us are drowning in tier 1s etc. Low level mapping isn't terribly difficult, though it's always good to be wary of map bosses anyway. It's too much info to go into detail here, but maps can be rolled or crafted like any other item, for the moment you'll probably just want to transmute, and maybe augment or alt it until you get a prefix and a suffix you can reasonably run. Most of the map mods do exactly what they say in the description - if you're unsure, again just ask in gchat.
