regulargonzalez posted:Can Melee Splash support Molten Strike? The actual attack is single target stop I could see it maybe working, but it also has an aoe effect so it probably doesn't. Yes but don't do it. The initial hit is a non-factor in Molten Strike damage. You'll do as much damage if you hit the floor. Importantly, you don't need 200% life to survive. Not even as a hardcore melee evasion character. I promise. nearly killed em! fucked around with this message at 15:37 on Dec 8, 2015 |

It's like people see a nerf of any kind and think items/skills are useless. Mjolnir is still the strongest item in the game, Incinerate will probably still be very strong (let's not forget how much better it was than every other spell), Acrobatics is viable defense. Calm down.

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.

Phine posting so I can't double check but the mined info from beta showed an actual one-hand weapon (like the others it now uses both slots, but I believe can be six-socketed) and instead of applying a unique mod on ignite (Her Blessing, 33% max hp as dot) it would just ignite you (possibly also make you immune to ignites for a duration). There are a lot of ways to make use of igniting yourself, hot-footed and mokuo's embrace come to mind, but there will almost surely be no way to ever make use of Her Blessing. Also it talks but if it's anything like Jack, The Axe you'll learn to hate it very quickly. The Goddess Bound is still of a very silly rarity but it has no value and a card you can farm from Hillock. Not that anyone cares.

The Wu-Tang Secret posted:I'm thinking about making a Frenzy build, since it's always been a really cool skill, and the mana changes might actually make it sustainable now. So I made up a skill tree, a bow Ranger with +3 frenzy charges and lots of projectile damage. I was thinking of focusing on poison, as bonuses to "projectile damage" allegedly apply to poison twice, once for the initial hit and once for the DoT derived from the hit, and I assume the "more damage" bonus from frenzy charges does the same. Links would probably be Frenzy+Poison+Slower Projectiles+LMP/GMP+(Pierce/Void Manipulation/Faster Projectiles??? No idea). Then Curse on Hit+Vulnerability on something, and probably Grace and Arctic Armor since it won't benefit from added elemental damage. Darkray Vectors are an obvious choice, giving an extra frenzy charge, and 16% dodge and an absurd 40% move speed at full charges. No other uniques jump out, except maybe Darkscorn to let me get (a quarter of) those chaos damage bonuses on my actual attacks. Is there anything obvious I'm missing on this tree or these gems? Is +178% life enough for a Phase Acro build? DON'T USE FRENZY (it sucks)

I played through act 4 with some random party for the first time after dozens of Malachai kills. People are really loving bad at dodging anything. Piety lasers, Malachai punches, anything and everything was being tanked. The party started at Daresso with 6 and by the time we finished Malachai like 5 people had ripped. I was shocked. I'm doing level 40 low-life lightning tendrils and a bunch of people not doing dumb poo poo are dropping around me.

I wish I wasn't too lazy to respec my current character. I really want to try a life/es claw character that uses ghost reaver to maintain es and implicit life gain on hit for hp. I'd even have a great reason to use Coruscating Elixir! But that sure is a lot effort.

I had the most heartbreaking rip last night. I ran a tier 8 hoping to get some better map drops, got a few tier 9 and tier 7 maps and an Oba's Cursed Trove. Cleared the map and was going to do the Vorici mission i skipped over. As I was quickly using Whirling Blades to get across the map, I hit a wall, presumably got shocked by Minara and guard Ethereal Knives'd to death from 5khp. Went to standard and killed Atziri deathless just to really rub salt in that wound.

Then it's mana, fix that, but now it's DPS, or block/stun b/c just being on the same screen as a common mob seems to induce paralysis in my character. Or now matter how well I try to stack ES with armor or evasion I'm getting 2-shot by bosses. Is there a way to enjoy this game that doesn't involve either starting a new race every two hours or treating it like a full-time job? This sounds like you're trying to rely on your energy shield as life (possibly taking Chaos Inoculation). Don't do that, use life. Energy shield is, outside of lategame situations, a trap.

Xequecal posted:Gladiator is the most overpowered one by far. The biggest problem with running shield right now is if you want to cap spell block you need to use a Lazhwar Stone. Using this amulet means you can't use Voll's Devotion, which is the most overpowered item in the game and pretty much more than doubles your DPS and survivability by itself. Now you can run Gladiator and just have the best of everything. Hell with those new block gems you can probably run Voll's Devotion and Acrobatics/Phase Acrobatics and STILL cap block and spell block. How?

Infinite Monkeys posted:I wonder if a RT 2h cycloner with the ascendancy thing that makes movement skills free would make a good magic finder next patch. Don't need crit or anything on gear, just some flat phys maybe, get a good phys axe and make everything else IIR/IIQ/resists/life The Shadow is 24 largely useless nodes from Resolute Technique and most Cycloners use blood magic anyway, so probably just much worse than a Duelist or Marauder. And that's on top of the rest of the Trickster tree serving no purpose to the build. I guess if the Scion can use any tree it'd be slightly less bad. nearly killed em! fucked around with this message at 22:48 on Feb 21, 2016 |

Ascendancy build ideas?! As the official grand master of Lightning Tendrils I'm compelled to do a crit Tendrils, Mind Over Matter Shadow with the Trickster tree. Whirling Blades in for Fortify and blast away. I'll use orb of storms for power charges and maybe blind.

Don't use a quality gem and get the chain. Your ability to hit targets, especially in closed areas, is massively increased with chain. Potentially dropping the chain gem is a big damage boost as well.

In all fairness, you certainly can obtain legacy gear. It's just a waste of time and currency. I'll never understand the fixation some fools have with these items. Except in one case (Facebreakers) you'd be more powerful with equally unobtainable mirrored gear.

I'm playing in hardcore and I've done the lab as soon as I finish the Hedge Maze on every character. I don't even bother waiting to equip better gear. I'm about to do it a fourth time (in normal, I've done dozens of Merc runs) on a Spectral Throw character.

Korwin posted:https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/Korwin077/characters You should spend 10-20 chaos upgrading your gear. Very little of it has life rolls and those that do are really low. You should easily be able to cap your resistances and get a lot of life for 20c total. edit: also probably take endurance charge on melee stun off of the 5-link. nearly killed em! fucked around with this message at 00:15 on Mar 18, 2016 |

I died last night with a 2H sword crit Ice Crash Slayer. I went Endless Hunger and Impact. If you have good leech, Endless Hunger is really nice defensively. I felt like I always had an Eternal life flask healing me. Too bad I thought I could fight Izaro with Vulnerability while wearing Abyssus. Definitely consider Slayer.

Maddot_66 posted:Would it be plausible to run some kind of crit based ice spear witch? there's something about the build that seems intriguing to me. Absolutely. The tree and gear doesn't need to be anything special, a typical projectile crit spell build will work. You'll be able to get away with less crit than typical considering the silly amount of crit chance it has.

JawnV6 posted:One of the weekend patches claimed to fix the un-openable chest problem. I haven't seen it in the past few nights. You should not be using Cyclone with a Marohi Erqi. Movement and attack speed are large parts of its DPS, Marohi fucks both of them. If you're going to stick with Cyclone, use Hezmana's bloodlust. Your gear is in desperate need of an upgrade. Your belt, left ring, amulet, and armor are hot garbage. 30 chaos should be enough to get some basic mapping gear. I'd also suggest dropping some of those jewel sockets for damage nodes that are much more efficient.

Nezkar posted:Would any one like to take a look at my character 'BloodyMez' and see if there is any glaring optimizations I may have missed? I hit 91 last and realized I am running out of skill points and still want many things. Mainly life. Dual-wield Cyclone is fine but it is not ideal to use two Prismatic Eclipses (or even one). If you're going to dual-wield you should probably use rapiers and probably crit. Since that would be a massive change to your tree I'd instead recommend switching skills to cleave (if you really want to dual-wield), leaving the witch area and using those points to pick up damage and life in the Templar/Maruader area. You should see a massive increase in clear speed from having a large increase in damage over your massive AoE. Cyclone isn't linked to a single damage gem and your ideal 6-link should have almost entirely damage links. I don't understand the desire to use Empire's Grasp knockback, what is it offering you over a pair of gloves with life/attack speed/flat phys? Devoto's Devotion is a fantastic Cyclone helmet and probably your only actual DPS increase. Basically you've got a Dual-Wield Cyclone build and no nodes or gear or gems to scale any of that damage.
