Ugh, removing the jewel vendor is very very slightly annoying. It'll still be pretty easy to get all the jewels most likely, so I can still do my frostbolt totems, but it would have been nice to not be reliant on trading for it.

I'm also mad because I'm going to miss approximately 75% of the first five days :argh:

Yeah, Frostbolt wants 2 of them. Again, it's still gonna be a ton easier getting them, and I really like that from GGG, as they are build enablers for a lot of the older skill gems.

A quick question to anyone who played the beta. Does the immolate support gem bonus damage apply to units that are burning but immune to ignite?
From what I can tell they removed immunities on pretty much everything, except to Freeze.

I'm seriously tempted to pull out the old Hrimburn Vortex build again with all these new gems.

Will this convert ethereal knives into lightning (cast on channel)? I've been working on the assumption that no it won't but I get the feeling that was wrong and my original thought that it would was right.
It shouldn't. It should only convert damage for its own skill effect.

Realtalk, can anyone who's done Oroflicker before just give this a look and see if anything stands out as particularly bad? Thinking I'll start with this as a regular 2h slayer and switch in the Fireborn for when I get Oro's.

e: fixed it for 3.0

If you really need dual curse just wear doedre's ring or windscream boots. Traveling up to the Witch area like that is not worth it IMO.

This is how I would build it.

I like Headsman better than Brutal Fervour because you'll clear faster, but take the leech and drop Unwavering Stance if you want, up to you. The other option is dropping Impact and using melee splash support. Not sure why you went into Templar and then skipped half of the good notables, but I fixed that. Also got you a lot more life and dex and just as much penetration and ignite chance by going to Ranger WED EDWAS nodes.

edit: Also note that you can do this build as Elemental Overload if you want, and it's a pretty nice damage buff but isn't quite as reliable due to misses. You would have to get some accuracy on gear and the tree, but Oro's does have that nice 30% accuracy implicit which helps.
I was actually looking at doing it as EO, which is most of the reason I'm pathed up to the Templar/Witch area (and while I was already there it was simple to nab the curse nodes along with the fire and life), but accuracy suuuuucks to gear and spec for, and I didn't really reset the tree for the other way.. If I'm not bothering with it, it's probably not worth going up there. I feel like I really want dual curse, since Flammability is so much damage and consistency and Enfeeble is super important for staying alive, but ugh those two items. I was looking to path over to the Primeval Force cluster (largely because it's insanely good), but I was stretched too thin before.

This does give me a huge extra chunk of life, though, so it's probably better on that count alone. Around 10% less dps, but more chances to be alive to do it. I also feel like taking Impact is most of the reason to go Slayer with the build at all, saving the gem link is huge and Immolate looks like it'll be great in there for boss killing.

Out of curiosity, how does Oroflicker fare in maps with enemies that resist status ailments?

The bow build guide says to use tornado shot but tornado shot seems to suck rear end compared to blast rain. Is there something i'm missing?
Tornado Shot without extra projectiles is pretty sad, but with LMP/GMP becomes great. Another tip is to aim your shots just behind enemies since the initial shot pierces until it reaches its destination, and then launches the secondary projectiles, so you can easily hit enemies multiple times per shot.

Aspect of carnage is FORTY PERCENT MORE. It's a gigantic damage increase, and because of those same rules, the 10% increased damage taken isn't nearly so impactful.
This is actually inaccurate. Increases to damage taken actually just function the same as more multipliers, for both players and enemies. It's why Belt of the Deceiver is such a good item for melee characters right now.

Not really, you gotta hit level 36 (or maybe 38) to use warchief totems, so there's no basically no reason to focus on totems in descent races.

e. I was talking more about like, the 2 week mayhem race. Warchief totems was pretty great for the SSF HC race there, wound up around top 20 chieftain with it.
28, but yeah. I mean you could run Ancestral Protector with Melee Splash as a poor man's version, but it's not a patch on the grandpa totem.

I've heard that you can't shock with starforge while you have resolute technique. Is that indeed the case?
You can't shock with crits, because you can't crit. If you have flat chance to shock, like from a jewel, that can still apply. Source: my RT Starforge Slayer with a shock jewel.

Alright, gonna do a bow build instead of a blade flurry to make good use of that Lioneye's Fall I got. Thinking of just doing a maximum cold Raider bow build, which is depressingly similar to Mathil's latest. Anyone have a good guide or advice for it?
