NecroMonster posted:just pay attention and figure out how to get through it all without taking any damage, it's really not hard, and generally isn't slow at all. most traps have a really short cycle time. You can run through most stuff if you're fast enough, however some of those skeletal mobs in the gold key zones can curse you vulnerability, and that makes sawblade/spinning totem traps extraordinarily lethal. At least the spike traps are (generally) pretty slow to trigger.

Duck and Cover posted:Yeah gently caress those who don't want to get all the life nodes, and multiple forms of damage mitigation. Until the fundamental defense meta dies (it won't ever), every build is bad unless it's rocking 5k+ life or 8k+ ES with at least one form of 20%+ mitigation. I've made a tonne of snowflake builds, but the one consistent thing that sucks about them is dying a lot in high-tier maps and never getting beyond lvl 89 or being able to reliably not waste 6 portals in a T14. I mean you're totally entitled to make a 3k ES trapper with 400 billion DPS but don't get upset when you faceplant into harder content and can't progress. Also, that 400 billion DPS becomes zero when you're dead.

TheOneAndOnlyT posted:Does anyone know how Ice Bite interacts with Herald of Ice? HoI kicks in anytime an enemy shatters, so is it possible to get frenzy charges off any shatter, or only the ones caused by the explosion? It does work but in my experience the charge generation is really inconsistent to the point that even blitzing through packs wasn't reliably sustaining charges.

Count Uvula posted:No. Intuitive Leap is trash (as are most unique jewels) just because when it could be useful, the usefulness is severely overshadowed by any common jewel you rolled to have life%. Good jewels include static electricity, ones that modify Vaal skills, and the one that makes your totems fire two projectiles. All of which require specific builds to use. No offense but literally everything in this post is wrong except for Varunastra.

Ultima66 posted:From what I can tell, when you throw a cluster trap at something, with Chain Reaction, you get a single 15% chance to get 1 Frenzy charge for all of them going off, since only 1 of them was triggered by a monster stepping on it. I'll have to try more later. Yeah this is my observation too. The traps triggered by chain reaction don't appear to be able to grant frenzy charges, I never once got more than 1 charge per set of traps thrown on my PSC trapper. Sorta related but a nice easy way to generate power charges if you don't have an existing weapon swap is to have a Jaws of Agony shield with a clustertrap in it, the 25% chance to gain a power charge is additive, so if you throw 4 at once you get a charge, guarenteed. nightwisher fucked around with this message at 05:24 on May 7, 2016 |

All I can think of which of the many trash vendor-tier uniques are going to come with unique mechanical improvements in their upgraded version, and in what way I can hipster-ize the gently caress out of said mechanics. If GGG just keep releasing expansions like this i'll never get bored of the game just because of the billion and one builds you can come up with.

As a redditor pointed out, Doedre's will probably see a lot more use outside of the gimmicky cast on drink builds with Juggs seeing as it's probably the quickest and easiest to exploit source of endurance charges.

whypick1 posted:Doubt it. The intention is that Detonate Dead only scales off of gem level/monster life and that the damage can't be reflected. Making is a spell means both of those are no longer true. Det dead scales with fire and aoe damage, so I don't think it's necessarily that. Also det dead IS considered a spell for everything but spell damage mods, it's wierd.

True, but those supports specify in the description "Cast supported spells" so the logical expectation would be that it wouldn't trigger a skill without a spell tag. From the wiki: quote:Skills marked with the Cast keyword deal secondary damage. Cast gems are not spells, and are therefore not affected by modifiers that would normally only modify spells. edit: Cast is an odd keyword, at least in my eyes. You "cast" spells but "cast" just refers to dealing secondary damage?

panda clue posted:How much % life regen do you need to make RF not terrible for your map pool? Is it possible to get enough to handle vulnerability/some reduced regen? I know you get hosed if you get multiple mods like that stacked. Assuming I'm at 88% fire res without flasks. The wiki page on RF has a nice table showing various breakpoints for gaining positive regen with RF up. It depends heavily on what your max fire res and reduced DoT taken stats are like. And yeah, vuln, ele weakness and -max res are all pretty nasty individually, ele weakness being the easiest to deal with i guess.

TheRat posted:RF is absolutely terrible when it comes to possible map-mods. If that's the case then GGG might have muddied up the keyword a bit, since Cast appears on Heralds yet they can't be supported by CwDT, Echo etc. Not that you ever would, but it does seem a bit inconsistent when you factor in Det Dead, but that might be an artifact of it formerly being a Spell.

panda clue posted:
I got mine down to 0.24s per loop with 98% reduced skellie duration and linked to a lvl 7 or under Less Duration gem. Normally you can't trigger CWDT faster than 0.25s but skeletons don't summon instantly so it adds a tiny bit of time to the loop, bringing it just over 0.25s . I used it to make this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbVupAZHanA&t=21s edit: I used SRS to start the loop because I didn't have another summon skeleton on me

whypick1 posted:I didn't realize Discharge had a target limit... It's an exception to the rule of AoE skills hitting all targets inside their area. Of course, no one knows WHY it's the exception. That's really fantastic news for self-cast or non-CoC discharge though, the target limit is a significant clear speed inhibitor.

The shield charge nerf is warranted IMO, the aoe scaling was ridiculous. Damage nerf sucks, don't think it needed it really. Also the Discharge buff mostly affects selfcasting and provides much less to the actual broken part of it, that it can be linked to CoC and have an engine created around it that propels it straight into broken as gently caress territory.

kaaj posted:Do you have your tree somewhere or is it a generic build, findable on PoE forums? What they mean is that if you level up Enfeeble so that it's higher level than what CWDT is able to support, it'll no longer be ineligable for curse on hit since it's not being affected by CWDT. Curse on hit is a trigger skill, but only for the curse being triggered, not the skill triggering it. This will allow your blade vortex to apply much higher level curses than simply linking a curse with CWDT can achieve. nightwisher fucked around with this message at 12:28 on Jun 20, 2016 |

Yolomon Wayne posted:If i link bloodlust support to lets say earthquake, will the voidheart ring still apply bleed, or does bloodlust override that?

Yolomon Wayne posted:So as long as bloodlust is in the gem setup, that setup cant produce bleed regarless of any circumstances? Yeah, from what I understand about PoE's mechanic naming convention anything that states "cannot ___" takes precedence over all other effects including "always/x% chance to ___", regardless of it's source. The way it's worded with voidheart for example: Melee skills have 100% chance to bleed on hit - so your hits with melee have 100% chance to bleed, you hit and they go to inflict bleed and your support linked Bloodlust overrides it to 0% before the effect can occur. But you can inflict bleed with any other melee skill because bloodlust only prhibits bleed with the linked skill only.

climboutonalimb posted:Also, I was exploring the idea of what I would do if I were to design an in game unique. I think a unique from a repeatable hidden recipe would be cool and I really wish Cast on Death was a useful gem beyond linking to portal and also useful in HC. So here's my idea: Amulets of Lifesaving are lame in Nethack and they'd be 100x more lame in PoE. A unique like that would literally be worn by every hardcore player without exception at all times no matter what, period. Not very good for diversity. Also lol at saying "might need a drawback but nah probably not" to an item that would trivialise an entire game mode.

And also worth noting that if you're using poison on those bladefall mines (you are) with Southbound gloves, on-kill effects apply to you instead of the traps, so say hello to corrupting blood stacks and other fun things that traps/totems/mines usually protect you from. If you're not wearing southbound (and by extension Binos), 1) you're doing it wrong and 2) you'll STILL suffer on-kill effects from any mob that dies to the poison and not the initial hit with bladefall.
