Mechanics question on Blade Vortex: When you have multiple copies of this gem with different link setups, will they each have different properties? Can you have say 49 BV stacks with damage mods, and 1 BV stack that is linked to power charge on critical strike?

Phobophilia posted:I'm not sure Ascendant-Occultist will have enough natural ES regeneration in order to spam spells, it might at most slow the rate of ES decrease as you cast. You're gonna need ZO in order to counteract that. For a spellcaster that casts spells that increase in mana cost I'd agree with you, but if you're using a melee or bow skill that never increases and has like a base mana cost of 5 or 6 it would be just fine. Ground Slam - Fortify - Poison - Multistrike - Melee Physical would be good down to an attack speed of 0.2 with 3500 ES.

There is no RNG, all is pre-ordained by the will of Chris Wilson. EDIT: Mathil just uploaded a vid on his alpha Inquisitor impression so far. He pretty much confirmed what I already suspected, that is that it's going to be the best ascendancy for any crit elemental build barring any major changes. Given that the critical strike gem increases local crit chance as well taking Assassin is not going to be necessary to cap crit on a lot of builds.

I'm still thinking of going assassin for a crit spell MF build, just because it gives so much crit that I shouldn't need any on my gear other than two daggers so I can get plenty of MF.

gently caress it making a new one: https://poeurl.com/wXa SRS Necro 113 points without the Ascendency points. Mistress of Sacrifice, Spirit Eater, Commander of Darkness. 7 jewels, 183% life, running Haste Generosity+Hatred Clarity on Blood Magic and Arctic Armor with 30% reduced mana reserved.

You know, going Mistress of Sacrifice is probably better for SRS witches, where you use flesh offering as perma 100% uptime vaal haste, or bone offering for chaos sparkers or essence drainers. But I've already played SRS and essence drain, and I've already used voltaxic (and it's gonna be expensive as hell this league). I'm going to try to make bone offering max block crit blade vortex work.

Planning on necromancer w/bone offering, self-cast lightning, then transitioning into Mjolnir. I'm really considering the tradeoffs going armor with IR with that long rear end-trek from witch (and energized armor to convert some ES into armor, then sticking Aegis on it for the hell of things). I'm looking at something around: 300% total increased damage (inc Elemental Overload and the 40% dmg after consuming corpse necromancer also gets) 175% life 260% armor 66 block / >30 spell block depending on items (inc tempest shield, 32% block shield, L12 bone offering on a L7 CWDT since I do not think the life recovery at L20 will stay in place)

I've never used mines before but am going saboteur with ice cluster traps and was thinking of using Storm Call mines for single target. Do I need to get the node that makes mines detonate instantly? I guess I could just use storm call + cluster trap + reduced duration + conc effect in deerstalkers

I gave up trying to get the helmet skin a while ago and haven't really wanted to log in for a while. Since people keep insisting they want standard stuff I may as well offer to give out my poo poo now, since there's no chance I'll sort out my standard inventory after the league change. So, in a couple of hours - I'll update in the thread when I'm on if there's no one in game that wants my poo poo - I will be giving away all my archer stuff in Talisman SC. There should be 20ex worth, maybe more. E: Funman really likes stuff, so I gave him all the stuff. Hamburger Test fucked around with this message at 19:33 on Feb 29, 2016 |

lurksion posted:After treeing this out, strength for Mjolnir is going to be a serious problem. Going to need like 3 or 4 things with strength on gear. Back the board (or self-cast it is). Needing str on gear for Mjolner is just the way it goes. You can see the Mjolner character I played on Talisman here, the level 90 Scion Cinara_ https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/Cinara/characters Because of the corrupted Voll's I had to have str on my ring, boots, shield, and helm. On top of wearing Doryani's belt and that still left me 1 short cause of crappy rolls on a few things so I used a gem with str also. To shield swap(for minus max + ele reflect maps) I had to change out a jewel for another str jewel also. Overall I really enjoyed the character, though without Deadhand Talisman it wouldn't be as much fun and makes bosses a lot more stressful.

Yea it's really hard to transition into Mjolner from a real build, you have to spend so many points on str that you can't really afford any damage nodes until super late. Wearing Meginord's Vise or Astramentis goes a long ways towards fixing that, but those are two of the most important slots for damage items.

Okay, I think I've settled on a max block hybrid Necro (mother of sacrifice) Spectre build. Hopefully the 100% spectre damage node from necromancer ascendancy makes up for the loss of flesh offering.

Actually, I've think I've convinced myself to use Barrage for single target, TShot for mobs. Here's my dumb idea: Tree Items: Tora bow, 3 Pacifism jewels, Snakebite gloves Active skills: Barrage, TShot, Temp Chains, Grace, Stone Golem (although Chaos is tempting), Blink Arrow End result: Permanent Onslaught and Phasing, always cause Bleeding and Poison on hit. Very much a hit-and-run character.

No one else talked about it, the few build videos on the official forums I've seen have been slowwwww in maps, and this one thread just had people popping up bitching about how lovely the damage was. I'll just spark my way to victory while leveling. Or have my husband carry me. Whichever.

whypick1 posted:Actually, I've think I've convinced myself to use Barrage for single target, TShot for mobs. So a few notes. Tora bow isn't worth it, her mod is a prefix so you can't have all 3 important damage mod s(%phys, %phys/acc, +flat phys), and rolling even a decent bow off that would be incredibly hard. Secondly you can't pick two things from the same base class as Scion, so no having both Raider and Deadeye. You get 6 points to spend, and for the Scion you pick the class specific node and then the ascendancy node doesn't actually cost a point. So you either get an ascendancy from two different classes or the ability to start at a different starting location and a +40 stat node from a different line. The reason poison is ever any good for bow builds is because of how some modifiers double dip on it. So generic projectile nodes are the best, chaos nodes are only good when using Voltaxic. You especially don't want to scale just chaos if you plan on using Bleeding also, work on scaling your base damage. Bleeding is a tough one cause the damage is pretty bad unless the target is moving, and harder to scale than poison damage. You have some really weird choices like pathing all the way to Shadow and not Blood Siphon which is a 10% hp node. You are really low on life in general, 114% at level 80 is lower than I'd advise most of the time. I would really advise any bow build to be crit based also unless you have a very very good reason not to be. Bows have very good base crit, amazing crit nodes, and poison/bleed both even scale off the base hit so crit works great if you really want to use those. Your build is a bit all over the place, I would really advise looking at some of the forum builds for different bow builds and seeing which nodes they take. The core ideas behind any bow build are going to be similar, you're mostly going to alter which skills/gear you use and your ascendancy class. If you really want a bleeding and poison based build, I think your best bet is the Duelist Gladiator subclass, weird as that sounds. The pathing nodes are worthless to you, but you could get 25% chance to bleed on attacks, enemies explode as phys, chance to maim(30% slow), 25% chance to gain frenzy charge on kill(bows are a main hand weapon) and 60% increased damage. It may not be the strongest build but is interesting! That or take Scion still and doing either Raider or Deadeye + Gladiator, that way you get some better bow stuff and still 15% chance to bleed on hit.

Thinking of trying to do a pure lightning Queen of the Forest trapper so I can zoom around everywhere with LT, Arc and P2L Bear Trap. Arc and LT will be sick with the everything explodes Ascendancy node.

I didn't take ED/Contagion very far into mapping last league but in my experience leveling was very smooth and map clear speed was fairly fast so I don't get the negativity of some people around it. If you don't like the play style that's understandable but it seemed like a perfectly fine build to me.
