RE: EE Chat. I use it with skeleton mages since they all fire different elements. It does mean using haste instead of anger but I kind of prefer that.

Salvor_Hardin posted:RE: EE Chat. EE is a debuff that you yourself inflict through attacks - if you cast Fireball, the enemy has -cold -lightning. Your minions can take advantage of that debuff, but they do not inflict the debuff themselves. So they aren't pingponging the EE types around fire-cold-lit-cold-lit-fire as they shotgun stuff. Or so my googling is telling me how EE works. Totems apparently do use your passives, though.

You take the Ancestral Bond keystone so you do zero damage (totem damage only) but when you cast spark that triggers EE for your RF totems. Because even if you do 0 damage it counts as a hit. RF is a spell but doesn't deal spell damage, it deals degeneration which can't be blocked. Then you get into the whole "burning damage" vs "fire damage" thing

at what point could I expect to do non-uber Atziri on a melee character? This is the first character I've gotten to maps and I can reliably do t11 maps if they don't roll a bullshit 2000%+ to crits mod, with about 5k each health and armor

I have been using arc to COH anyways so that does the trick. I guess that means I can run Anger then. Edit: Between double cursing Elemental Weakness and Projectile Weakness, triggering EE, and triggering the 70% dmg bonus on Scourge, those arcs are doing some serious work.

Whoever was asking about Vaal Temple: Depending on the map mods, it can be harder than Shaper by a healthy margin. Of course, it can also be straight impossible with a few combinations of mods.

Regular Atziri isn't necessarily a mechanically demanding fight, but the gimmicks are still bad enough that *most* builds probably won't be able to faceroll it the very first time. Power creep aside, you can still get hosed.

It hits -50% at 150 units, and the edge of the screen pointed horizontally is about 90 units.

Do any of you find yourselves entirely skipping bosses on maps? I've heard some people do that for whatever reason but isn't that a major loss in potential profit/map sustain?

I skip bosses when leveling characters in lower tier maps if I don't have great single target, not like I care about sustaining my t7 maps or whatever.

I don't have any concrete numbers unfortunately, but you notice it while playing PB/Far Shot. The max bonus of far shot is less than the max penalty of point blank, so there should be a point (probably off screen) where any further does less damage in general. But I don't think anyone has bothered coming up with hard numbers on far shot's distance scaling. Also they scale off slightly different things. Far Shot is distance traveled rather than range. Spectral Throw does more damage on the return trip, tornado shot sub projectiles do less damage close to where they split, chained projectiles do much damage regardless of where they chain to. dis astranagant fucked around with this message at 22:20 on Sep 7, 2017 |

So I'm once again looking for upgrades for my tornado shot raider. I've got 120c to throw around. I'd like suggestions. https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/danceofficer/characters Swapping to Bisco's left me really deprived of int and str, and I had to take nodes to alleviate the problem. If it's possible I'd like an equipment based solution to this.

This is probably common sense to most players running maps, but I had a bit of an epiphany last night. Rather than doing a single map, then identifying loot, selling loot, organising maps, etc. I go to my stash, drop everything in my inventory into the first tab (labeled dump) and then jump straight into the next map. I do this until my dump tab is full and then I mass identify and sell/organise everything. As I said, it's probably common sense to most, but it was a break through for me, and the increase in my currency generation is probably 3 fold. Also, having just bought the premium stash tabs bundle, having a 1 chaos b/o tab is fantastic to chuck in rares that may be worth something.
