This soulwrest Necro mostly just runs around, it seems like it would be good for console. Only thing is its dependence on uniques which I could see being hard to trade for on console.

I played this exact build in Delve and it was a blast. I made it through everything shy of Uber Elder and never quit running around like crazy. Would recommend.

Would someone smart at this game mind taking a look at my build to tell me if there's any hope for it?

I'm an ED Trickster followed exactly from this guide.

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2581551

Problem is single target damage is loving miserable. And not in a "wahh I can't phase bosses" type way. More like I have to stop to Blight almost every single blue enemy above T10 and crusader fights go on for 20+ minutes.

In theory my next upgrade is a high end bow but I'm literally never going to raise the money for it at the rate I'm going right now.

How do you guys always manage to pick out the absolute worst guides with pinpoint precision? Todays edition: EB/MoM Trickster without a Jade Flask. Calling itself "unkillable" and then uploading a 100ex+ endgame PoB with negative chaos resist, on EB/MoM

Drop EB/MoM. Probably drop Wind Dancer and Acrobatics too. Wind Dancer + Ghost Shrouds is cute, but ultimately too far out of the way. Get Arcane Surge linked with either Contagion or your movement skills. Drop Phase Run for Withering Step. Pick up Atrophy on the tree. Move into the templar area of the tree and pick up some health. This will tide you over for now. Buy some cheap ES bases you can use your defense seeds on to help you transition into CI or LL later on.

I mostly just pick whatever has the most detailed guide because lol at actually learning how this game works. I just want to click things.

Regardless, I'll take a stab at all that. It's probably worth noting I really don't die. The build really is legit tanky. It's just so goddamn slow I hardly want to play it.

Appreciate the help.

So a few people in this thread recommended Chronicon, which I picked up a couple days ago and...I'm assuming the game becomes something besides a boring slog at some point, right? I'm level 14 and I seriously think I'd rather do the Gauntlet again.

I played through the entire campaign with a completely unoptimized build and only used one potion the whole time (and even then, only by accident). Also I am bad at games.

I didn't not enjoy it, but I imagine it's better on higher than default difficulties.

For anyone doing pohx RF, any idea what the shield charge setup is for? Seems to be superfluous when you've got Frostblink, and you could probably add something else in there instead.

I just use it to zoom around since frostblink has a cool down.

For those of you playing RF, how’s it going?

I'm level 88 with Pohx's build and have about an Ex worth of gear (holy poo poo I am getting no drops this league). I'm into red maps but boy I sure am using all my portals and netting zero XP.

It's hard to say how much of my troubles are trash gear vs. the build vs. the Archnem buffs, but it's not nearly as smooth sailing as I was hoping for.

There was talk earlier in the thread about Lightning Strike being dumpstered. Now some people are saying maybe not? GGG weighed in a bit here -

https://old.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/wm33rw/path_of_exile_lake_of_kalandra_patch_notes/ijx1qy4/?context=10

Does anyone know the mechanics of this crazy game enough to weigh in? I was thinking LS Berzerker for league start and now I don't know what to think.

MMF Freeway posted:

When you use LS with a source of extra strike targets (ancestral call) you can hit them with the projectile attack of your first strike as well at the melee hit of the extra strike. That hasn't been changed, but apparently there was a bug that would cause a double projectile hit sometimes (would be a triple hit if it occurred with the usual setup) and that has been fixed. So not really a nerf

Rad, LS is on the list then! Unless the call of Flicker Strike pulls me away I think I'll be going that route.

Thanks!

Oh it's not the background highlighted. There's slightly more outline on the grid. I am baffled that anyone would go through the work to implement this logic only to do so very little with it, but good to hear they're improving the visibility.

If I don't like literally any of the league mechanics that made it into the base game can I do well sticking with mapping?

Like, I don't want to do or think about any of this poo poo. I guess the beast hunting one is ok because I don't have to leave the map and it's basically just a weird crafting bench.

Just do Breach, Abyss and Delirium. If you don't like those three you don't like this game.

I generally try and avoid the inevitable negativity around less good leagues, but I think I'm already done with this one. Crucible just isn't rewarding enough and I got enough psuedo-standard last league. It's a bummer because this game is so good when it's good and now I need to fill like 4 months until the next shot at it.
