I wanted to do Inquisitor crit Shock Nova first but I watched mathil try out a simple Berserker 2H RT Earthquake build and it looks really fast and fun so I might go for that. The initial hit already does a good amount of damage and has good AoE so for most trash you don't even need to 'wait' for the actual big hit. Also have a vid of Pohx being Pohx by smoking some dank kush right before streaming: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZV7hZmIuhI I have no idea what Texas drug laws are like but that seems like a Bad Idea.

If people want an easy league starter character, mathil just posted a vid on earthquake and sunder and 2H RT Berserker Earthquake is a cheap and fast way to start. It's probably what I'm going to do because Earthquake looks really fun and satisfying.

Ziggyd posted a vid on how to level smoothly with spark + orb of storms for any spell build basically. Lots of alpha streamers leveled their casters that way and it's fast and cheap from what I've seen.

Mortimer posted:is Assassin the "I have 100 ex to spend on gear and now I'm god" spec or is it more like 1-100 busted as hell Assassin makes crit builds much easier to gear for and accessible than ever before so you should be fine going with that. Melee builds are a lot better and tankier due to a number of changes since last you played, most importantly the Fortify gem which gives a 20% reduction against all damage types. Going Earthquake/Sunder 2H RT Marauder Berserker is cheap and effective. Most caster builds are easy, cheap and strong as well, like Firestorm self cast. Going non-crit caster appears to be a viable and strong choice as of Ascendancy due to a number of changes and ascendancies that go well with that like Witch's Elementalist. Chaos damage causes Poison and is stackable now and very strong. Last league had insanely powerful Fire to Chaos conversion builds due to the synergy of Bino's and The Consuming Dark uniques which has been rightfully nerfed but it should still be strong.

Vorenus posted:Is this tree good for such a build? Simply put, no. This build is worth following from what I can tell for a cheap beginner build if you want to go spark all the way. Note that it's based on the previous patch, where generally you wanted to go crit with spells, but non-crit is much better now than it was before and Orb of Storms makes Spark a lot better as well. That's why the author says it's not as good at high level mapping, it should be much better now. Just pick Witch Elementalist and get the elemental conflux node, the rest is up to you. You could also go Arc (check the official class forums for good, if temporarily outdated builds) or most other spell based builds and be able to level up great with Spark + Orb of Storms. Arc might be better at high levels but it's hard to tell with all the changes at the start of a league. Path of Exile builds can go in a million different directions and everyone has their own preferences, so you generally won't find an 'optimal' build. It's best to check multiple builds, ask some questions in this thread or in guild chat and the rest you have to learn with experience.

If you go Scion definitely take the Deadeye ascendancy. A second good ascendancy is probably Berserker for the free leech and extra damage.

Detonate Dead dominated the meta back when fire prolif had the best clear speed in the game, that's why it's relatively weak in its current state because they had to nerf it pretty hard.

Bingo posted:I'm running a crit shock nova inquisitor which is really fun so far, the dps is great and its lots of fun whirling around between packs and blowing them all up with one crit, but I'm having big problems with survivability and I'm not sure the right way to go. I could go either EB/MoM/ZO, EB/MoM/Ghost Reaver, or go Vaal Pact instead and try to cast on mana but have to give up Arctic Armour. I haven't played a life/es caster in a while so I'm not really sure what people do for survivability, or whats a good es amount to have before going EB I'm running crit spark inquisitor so our set-ups should be fairly similar, easiest way to get good defense and solve your mana regen issues in one go is to get a Stone Golem, get EB/MoM/ZO and buy a good ES shield (250+ ES, costs a couple of chaos at most). ZO works great with Stone Golem, effectively giving you 90+ extra mana regen. I switched at a little over 1k ES and I've had zero issues, it works great. You might have already done that but I run my whirling blades with faster attacks and foritfy for extra defense and good mobility. Put it in a 4-link with Blood Magic so your ES can regen better but it should be okay without. EDIT: Oh yeah, I recommend putting your stone golem in a CWDT setup so it's summoned again whenever you're damaged. Ekster fucked around with this message at 13:48 on Mar 8, 2016 |

RossCo posted:Do people just ignore the "Dont kill dudes" variant when they have inappropriate builds? I'm running Cyclone and the precision targeting really isn't in my skillset. The exiles are a lot faster than the guards so you can kite them away from the group then burst the exile down. I'm even able to do so with Spark so Cyclone should be fine.

Vasudus posted:So I have 26 skill points free and enough respec points to clear out what I've already spent on my Scion sparker. My original plan was to go crit, but I realized that I hate the EB/MoM/ZO trifecta so now I'm trying to go elsewhere. Would an IW-based sparker with elemental overload work as well as I'm thinking? I used to hate EB/Mom/ZO too but the stone golem giving you essentially +90 free mana regen feels so much better that I don't have any problems with it anymore. Link the golem with CWDT and you're set.

Broken Cog posted:What's a good level to do cruel lab on? I really need those two ascendancy points to finish my build, but I've heard scary things about the place. If you want to have an easy time I'd do it at lvl 60+ or even 65 depending on build. Izaro just hits pretty hard relative to when you can do it.

Ra Ra Rasputin posted:I feel like varunastra is secretly op, there are a lot of nice weapon keystones and they can take otherwise crappy rare jewels and use all the random weapon bonuses on them, 1000% increased damage can be scary. I'm playing with the idea of Varunastra crit reave because it has considerably higher base damage than daggers. The 5% base crit is low but Assassin, the increased crit strike gem and efficient pathing should make it really good, but I haven't done the math yet. I suspect that, in theory, it should be better than crit dagger reave.

DawnOfMinstrel posted:How do you guys approach selecting and buying gear? Push to Act 4 and run Dried Lake till at least late 60s, I run it till I'm 70 personally. Dried Lake is almost entirely physical damage so resists won't matter that much. I only buy res gear once I start mapping unless I absolutely need it on HC or something.

SlyFrog posted:I have not played this in a long time, and I do not know if the OP is out of date. As others have said it's much better than it used to be, basically you buy upgraded stash tabs where you can easily price items in-game and you use a third-party site to search for stuff (poe.trade). I'm personally of the opinion that it's a stupid system but that's a discussion that has been had many times before. That being said the current way of trading is fairly smooth in practice.
