After years I finally managed to unlock the Scion and the new leagues next week are kinda calling to me, since D3 isn't giving us anything new for next season. This SSF thing seems like it would be extremely my poo poo, is this always available? How many builds would be non-viable if I had to rely on drops/crafting?

SSF it is then. Not gonna look up any specific builds, so lets see how badly I can screw up my passive tree.

drat, Scion looks rather complicated to skill. Who thought making everything equally accessible was a good idea?

Dahbadu posted:It's always tempting to make a Scion, but it usually turns out badly (for me, at least). I'm tempted to make a Scion utilizing the new Might of the Meek jewels this coming league. Probably not the best league starter, though. Maybe I'll go Ranger instead. For now I'm just looking for cool gems to make a build around.

I think I'll manage to do a passable build, even if I maybe have to play Ranger instead of Scion, but I'm kinda confused by what stuff applies to which gems? Like for example, %Global Physical Damage increases Ice Shots damage, because Ice Shot converts physical damage to cold? Same with %Attack Physical Damage? What even is the difference between Global and Attack Physical Damage? Is there an easy way to find out what applies to what?

Thats helpful. I think I'll go with an Ice Shot ranger for the season, switching to a Molten Strike Scion once my build becomes an unsalvageable mess, so I have loads of new passives I can gently caress up.

I know myself, if I go down that road I'll spend more time theorycrafting than playing. And since I have no frame of reference how well a real build works, I'll probably have fun anyway

Mr. Despair posted:The whole point is to leave the theorycrafting to someone else who already did it Yes. Its not going to work Anyway, I don't even know what items are possible to get in SSF and what builds wouldn't work. I'll go to poebuilds soon enough, once I'm frustrated with my own poo poo.

I think my build is mostly done, but I'm still a bit confused one thing: How are the defensive options in this game? I get that %Life and Elemental Resistance are mandatory, no matter what you do, but what about Armor/Evasion/Energy Shield? More specifically I could either specc into Iron Reflexes or Acrobatics/Phase Acrobatics.

I read the wiki page on Molten Strike and I'm not sure I understood anything. So Molten Strike is a single target melee ability (it gets enhanced by Ancestral Call Support?), that creates projectiles dealing xx% weapon damage (the projectiles aren't scaling with %Melee Damage Increase?). Multiple Projectiles Support increases the number of projectiles (Does it also increase the number of projectiles created by Ancestral Call Support?). Are the projectiles scaling with %Projectile Damage? Since the projectiles do physical damage that then gets converted into fire damage the gem also fully scales with %Physical damage increase and for 60% with %Fire damage increase and %Elemental damage increase? How does all of this now interact with Avatar of Fire? Does it convert 110% of physical damage into fire? 80%?

Thanks, that clears some things up. My head still hurts though.Goa Tse-tung posted:2. They are, the projectiles use the melee damage as a base Vasudus posted:(but not melee physical damage, like the strike) Which one is true though?

I'll roll either Spectre Necro or Double Strike/Cyclone Ascendant for HC Flashback, where my goal is to kill Shaper. Really looking forward to all these new and interesting ways to die, since I haven't played any league besides Incursion.

Wait, if I manage to luck into one of those through, dunno, a t2 sacrifice altar and I list it for 50c, does that mean these guys have to buy it for their scam?

Tai posted:I didn’t think arc was OP really. It was just traps that made it so. I’m hoping traps haven’t gone back to dumpster tier again as I quite like the play style. The throw speed nerf worries me a bit. I’m hoping it’s not a stupid nerf to 1 second throw speeds. I mean Arc is the best skill for self-cast, totems and traps. It can't be traps alone.

I feel like you're underestimating totems here a bit. Mathils old shimmeron arc totem build had something along the lines of 500k dps per totem. Thats with the stuff he had in bestiary, so good 3-stat jewels and a 21/0 arc, but without Soul Mantle. He has claimed that a good shaped staff would out damage that in 3.4, which I would find pretty crazy since shimmeron is one hell of a lot of damage, but if its anywhere close to those numbers it definitely doesn't have to hide from traps.

DS Champion or Pure Skeleton Necro as a SSF starter? How would Necro perform as an uber lab farmer? With the new shared minion attack speed for better movement?

Philthy posted:Fairly new to PoE in it's current state. I bought(?) the game like 40 years ago when it was alpha or something and didn't care for it much at the time and forgot about it until like a week ago and now it looks like it's Diablo 2 on steroids, which seems really cool. Trading is a chore, but its only necessary for build defining uniques (I dont think spark has those?) and atlas completion. There is a whole game-mode called Solo Self-found where you can't trade or group, with their own ladder and stuff. Progression is definitely slower without trading and some builds flat-out wouldn't work unless you luck into those uniques, but you can play the whole game without ever interacting with another player. That said, trading helps a whole lot with patching holes in your gear and general item progression without having to rely on drops.

Ornedan posted:Has anyone taken Rain of Arrows to Shaper/Uber Elder? How much DPS did you have? 1. Get that last point into Primeval Force. Its a significant damage boost 2. Balance your resists and get a Wise Oak. Your resists are close enough that you can easily do this with crafting 3. 20/20 your gems These three things alone should get you the dps needed for uber elder (more than Mathils dps on his doomfletch RoA build). Your survivability is really bad though, so good luck with that.

Double Bill posted:In case anyone playing a caster is having trouble in Delve: I've pretty much stopped dying after giving up 2 sockets in my 6L for Curse on Hit + Warlord's Mark. There's so much poo poo swarming you all the time that all the aoe leech can keep you alive through almost anything. That seems a tad bit excessive considering there are a lot of ways to apply curses that don't half your dps. Use a blaspemy curse aura or do CoH with heralds or get yourself a CoH ring.

Question time: I've finally unlocked uber elder, can someone more knowledgeable about this game tell me if my build is uber elder ready and if not, what I could upgrade to get there? Besides the ring I guess, that one gets replaced real soon. https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/Wuxi/characters?characterName=Wuxilla

It's going to be my last character in Delve and I have the PP + about 8ex in currency, half of which is going to be spent on getting another pen. All the profiles I see for pathfinders are using Zerphi's which isn't gonna work. It seems like PP Jugg might be workable, but Juggs can be kind of boring and maybe slow.

Andy Dufresne posted:Interesting. I had actually decided over the last few hours to do ascendant elementalist/slayer but this looks better. The gear is quite a bit more expensive on DHC (Shavronne's is 280c for instance), but I think I can come up with the cash. The real kicker is the ES on hit watcher's eye or fenumus you want, which is 15ex on HC. It outperforms any other PP build thats not a Zerphis Pathfinder though.

Saying BV is a strange skill that may or may not be to your liking is very much right. Saying Ele BV is not an extremely strong league starter, with or without Inpulsa is straight up wrong Saying Ele BV is clunky to play and then suggesting MS, which clears maps roughly at the speed of continental drifts, is
