It just occurred to me that the changes to Lightning Strike could make Mjolner good again, does anyone know if that would be enough to make it strong?

Wait, Crit IB Facebreaker? Is he hoping for the IB explosion to crit?

Yeah, I'm confused too, he's doing crit Facebreaker without the unique that lets Facebreaker crit? Post-nerf IB explosion can't possibly be enough damage to be worth stacking crit for.

Does anyone have a good build for a voltaxic archer? I ask, because right now, I think voltaxic + poison has a shitload of untapped potential.

Also, who remembers what the price of Voltaxics stabilised at during Awakening/1month? I ask because I'm wondering whether or not to buy voltaxics at 1exalt now, or later. Because later, I suspect some jerk is going to come out with a poison Voltaxic guide, and make the price skyrocket.

I'm running LA, and planning on going voltaxic as soon as I can afford one. I was going to wait until it hit 1ex, but since I don't have a pure ex yet and no one wants mixed currency right now, I'm going to wait a little longer.

There's a subforum in the trading section of the official forums for cross league trading so it's not bannable, but they do warn that it's unmoderated so be careful.

Cross league trading is only allowed HC to Standard, and HC challenge league to SC challenge league. Trading Standard to talisman is definitely bannable. I'm not sure if they have ever done it, but they have said that they would. I remember when this policy started at the beginning of the second challenge league, because people were getting so rich on Standard that cross league trading was loving the economy up.

Yeah I'd guess the sub 10c ones are all probably super low ilevel which makes the item a bit garbage.

edit: the real draw for me is the super cheap potential 7-link since all sockets attach to the icestorm skill it provides without requiring a link.

Vorici can fix them for 350 jewelers, which is still pretty drat cheap. Total price is still below 50c.

Ascendency is going to come with a tree overhaul and significant balance changes. Until we see that, it's really hard to say. I could totally make a really awesome crit blade vortex build with the assassin subclass, but I have a feeling that blade vortex is going to get nerfed into oblivion before that can happen.

Per Chris on Reddit:

https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/3ym2ut/ascendency_supporter_pack_classes_artwork/cyeto7x?context=3

There's no artwork for Scion's ascendancy. This means it's not a static tree. The most straightforward explanation is that she uses Ascendancy points from other classes, therefore the artwork will just show whatever other Ascendancies she is getting points from.

My very first thought when they said that Scion only gets one ascendancy was that she gets to put 2 points each into 3 other ascendancies. That way she's flexible and varied, but can't be quite as specialized as the other classes. Fitting with her overall style.

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.

Would the chaos damage from life leech from the The Retch be subject to multipliers from increased chaos damage nodes? I've got some stupid idea for a scion with Berserker/witch pathing for Leech and added chaos damage and want to know if it's a "incredibly stupid, won't work" or just "probably not very effective, have fun" level of dumb.


Fake Edit:

This damage cannot be modified by damage modifiers because it is considered as reflected damage. From the wiki. Reading is good.

I feel like there might be a fun interaction here with the 100% of damage leeched as life after savage blow in berserker and with vaal pact.

After way too much time in the Labyrinth (either died early, lagged out, or ran out of memory just before the final boss room :argh: ) I made my pacifistic summoning witch a necromancer and snagged a shitton of rares and a few uniques (including a nearly-maxed Facebreaker :v: ) from it. I probably should've given the skull to the Facebreaker instead of my current gloves, since "Word of the Tempest on hit" is not nearly as exciting when my witch never swings her weapon.

Pretty sure Word of Tempest triggers on spell hit too.

Idea is to use Varunastra in the main hand, Rive in the off-hand

Rive will give increased bleed damage and always causes bleed

Sunder - Multistrike - Melee Physical Damage - Faster Attacks - Increased Critical Strikes as the main damage thing

What skill would you use to trigger the bleed from Rive?

One last question, and it's probably my costliest mistake: Does anyone take the Savage Hit & leech nodes in Berzerker or is the 40% damage/10% damage taken the only correct choice?

I've definitely considered the savage hit leech node as the mainstay for a few builds. With Vaal Pact or Atziri gloves it could be incredibly strong. However, a Marauder build that gets to vaal pact isn't super easy to do, and Atziri gloves are 15ex+ right now.

Build idea, want critiques.

Tree at level 70

Skills: Shrapnel Shot Trap primarily. Point Blank + Trap gives a nice damage bonus (plus Far Shot helps offset Point Blank's damage penalty for distant foes), Powerful Precision doubles my crit chance since Shrapnel Shot has 100% chance to Pierce. Probably go Phys-to-Light for 90% lightning damage. Probably go HoT/CoH/Assassin's Mark with Haste for auras.
Gear: Have a Rearguard and a Lightning Coil (Cells is officially my favorite map now), hence why I picked up Iron Reflexes (plus I'm tired of playing EV/ES characters). Can steal my main character's 6S/5L Lioneye's Glare once he hits 90. If I felt like going more offensive instead of defensive would drop Rearguard for Drillneck.

Anything I'm missing that would make this a stupid idea?

I don't think point blank will affect the aoe portion of shrapnel shot, but I'm not sure on that, the wording is kinda weird on point blank. The long cooldown on Trap will probably also be an issue. If you're doing cluster trap, you might consider going Sunblast and doing a grenadier build so that they all explode and aren't wasted, but that's more of a style preference.

Also, 2 ascendancy points for 110% crit chance and 10% projectile damage seems quite underwhelming.

For people who stack endurance charges and don't eat them with immortal calls, how viable is undercapping below 135%, and instead relying on the 4%/charge to cap your resists? Or is it asking for trouble the moment a nullifier shows up?

If it's a stupid idea, I guess it's still okay to use stacked endurance charges to counteract elemental weakness curses.

I feel like capping your resists is so easy that this isn't particularly worthwhile.
