I'm pretty drat excited for 3.0, I purposefully didn't pay any attention to the new acts or beta stuff.

Maybe this league I'll actually read the lore and listen to the discussions from NPCs (I'll probably skip it all to get loot faster).

Picked up a pretty decently rolled Nuro's Harp earlier today, anyone know if a build is feasible with this anymore? Only thing I'm really seeing are builds from 2.4 era outside some very barebones ideas; I'm a little curious how it could interact with the new addition to Beacon of Ruin for Elementalist that gives increased effect for non-damaging ailments: would that include chill / freeze duration or just the amount of slow from said chill?

I was slumming around the class forums for build ideas earlier and saw a Scion build that uses that bow with ranged attack totems and Ice Shot. It's from 2.6 but they are working on revising it for 3.0.

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1795115

It seemed pretty nifty.

Thanks, I'll take a look. Don't think I've ever run Scion since the Ascendancy feels weird to me; took a look at the players build for 3.0 and they currently have Resolute Technique, not sure if that's just for leveling as I assume that we'd want crits for freezing potential later on.

In this Ngamahu Cyclone Build https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1819239/page/1

Is there sufficient mana leech? I only see 0.4% on the tree. Is that enough?

I ran a bit more early on while leveling but recently refunded out of it; basically not a problem at all with Blasphemy + Warlord's Mark. I got the Carnage Heart tonight and before that was just running a rare Amulet with attributes and resists.

Character name is Mo_Spinnin; easily plowing through Tier 1-7 maps right now, though my life and defenses could stand to be higher. Fun build, I look forward to seeing how well it handles Uber Lab once I complete the challenges assuming I don't get distracted with other build ideas again.

I'd argue newer players have an advantage in that they actually take their time and pickup and upgrade their gear. I on the other hand force my way through under equipped because I'm a lazy player who doesn't feel like picking up gear just for it to be obsolete in ten levels. I realize it's faster to pay attention to drops, but but but gotta keep going. Go go go go go gogogogogogogo. I wonder why I keep dying.

I guess I should swap off this Ondars Clasp now.

Got this off a Zana daily in Abyss tonight:



POE Trade has a few similar-ish for 6-7 exalts, that seem about right?

Also the game keeps giving me Abyss jewels focused on Axes, but I did Ngamahu's Cyclone last league. Any interesting axe+board or dual wielding axe builds out there worth trying?

I've played this game for years and the trading system is not enjoyable to me. Every system has tradeoffs but interrupting gameplay to sell poo poo is bad and if they changed that I'd be happy.

Actually I think if I had any one wish for this game, it'd be to have it auto-pickup currency when I run over it. Make it a toggle so if there's someone out there who enjoys clicking on scrolls of wisdom to pick them up they can go nuts.

idk if i'd love auto-pick up for currency (i do think it'd affect the economy given how much poo poo i leave laying on the floor cuz i can't be arsed to click it or my inventory is full) but something like a 5 or 10 range pickup range for items would definitely improve the 'smoothness' of picking things up without making too big of an impact, i think.

I'm fine with reducing quantity dropped if it's a big deal. If at the end of the day half as many scrolls drop as before but because I don't skip them I end with the same amount then it's purely a QoL improvement with no loss.

Yea lab is way more profitable. I think next league I’ll just do group atziri to get this over with. Wasn’t worth being selfish and running them all myself. I made a profit but not worth the time. My numbers were about what yours were.

I'm really tempted to make an uber lab farmer next league. It'd be nice to focus on one end game goal and I kinda enjoy lab. I know Liftingnerdbro's warchief build is popular, any other recommendations? Also kinda tempted with Viper Strike.

Jesus this site rules, especially the heatmap stuff; pretty cool to see how most of the meta defined builds play out. Make sure to play with the league filter too; Hardcore Abyss skews really heavy Necromancer because of the survivability of that ascendancy. It's also cool that you can filter on skills / items and see what sort of ascendancies / skill tree layouts are most often paired with them.

There is a single build running Sweep: Level 95 Champion and one build running Rain of Arrows: Level 93 Raider

These players are my heroes. :glomp:

Curious how well it'd pair up with elemental conversion. Something like Hrimburns + Chieftain to convert to 50/50 cold & fire (could try to convert to 100% fire from there?), maybe a Singularity scepte mainhand for the Hinder damage buffs.

e: Actually, is Mjolner's on hit trigger only on hit with Mjolner or is it any on-hit? Also grants Skills Chain +1 times which seems good with this skill.

e2: Looks like only when Mjolner does the hit when dual wielding so I assume the same is true of Shield Throws: "Dual wielding: While dual wielding, socketed lightning spells will only cast on hit with the Mjölner they are socketed in."

e3: Eclipse Solaris = The Blinding Shield of Justice? :hai:

With really fast attack speed you can probably get the Poison duration to really start layering in a ton of stacks. I'm kinda tempted to try a Viper Strike build now; I'll let some PoB wizard figure out how many stacks you would have running optimally and for what length at given attack speed points.

Ohhh... or what about Shield Throw + Poison support with the new Noxious Strike. If you throw it into a pack would each shard from the explosion be a guaranteed Poison too on everything it hits?
