I'm arc mines and I've been using the rare lightning wand I got from a lvl 30ish temple all the way into yellow maps.

I'm happily clearing yellow maps on Arc Totem with two random not-particularly-great rare wands. That's without Wrath on either, Arc totems wrecks face without the expensive extras.

Just so y'all know, tier 3 item rooms in the temple (museum of artifacts) can be stupidly profitable

What's the current strategy for atlas? Just fill it out completely? Also, is the map stash tab worth it?

Also what are some tips for incursion temple rooms? Which room upgrades are must haves? Just looking for ways to increase my returns on it.

May I suggest Literally Any Dagger/Sceptre with Attack Speed plus a shield with spell crit and life, so you can use shield charge? I see absolutely zero reason to use wands until you actually possess dual Shimmerons. It just hinders your mobility for no benefit.

Mentat Radnor posted:May I suggest Literally Any Dagger/Sceptre with Attack Speed plus a shield with spell crit and life, so you can use shield charge? Attack speed doesn't help this build in any way does it? Totems are spells so need casting speed from everything I can see. For movement I liked shield charge with blood magic in prior builds, but this time I'm using 35% movement speed (30% boots, 5% helm) plus another 6% boot enchant if I haven't taken a hit recently, and then use lightning warp to navigate elevations and skip traps etc. With faster casting and reduced duration it fires pretty fast and you can teleport to the very edge of the screen. Awesome! posted:ive found breach to be fairly disappointing after the nerf. I was wondering what was up with breaches. They are almost boring now and a T3 breach room only drops a few shards even with 3 breaches. When & why did they get nerfed? I really enjoyed the chaos of the swarms of purple dudes.

The Locator posted:Attack speed doesn't help this build in any way does it? Totems are spells so need casting speed from everything I can see. The speed of Shield Charge, both how fast it travels and the speed of the recovery animation, is dependent on both movement speed and attack speed. Try it out for yourself. Grab a weapon with no local attack speed on it, and a Brightbeak, and try shield charging with each. You might be a bit blown away by the difference. The reason I give it such importance on Arc Totem Hiero (which I'm playing this league, 88 at the moment) is that at least in yellow maps your clear speed is limited only by your totem placement speed and how fast you can move. Arc pretty much 1- or 2-shots everything and your totems last 17 seconds so maxxing shield charge speed is the way to go for fast mapping.

I really enjoyed the chaos of the swarms of purple dudes. although i did get a skin of the loyal from a random chalupa breach in a peninsula so i dont hate them i assume they got nerfed to break the community's love affair with them. now they wont get death threats when zana doesnt offer breach for 3 months

Yeah the temple breach room feels real fuckin bad with the low/nonexistant quantity on the temple itself.

Ok, I was making the wrong connection (i.e. with the Totem part of the build, not with your movement skill). I was aware of the way it worked with shield charge as I used that exact thing on a prior build with shield charge as my movement skill and Brightbeak, I just completely failed to make the connection to the movement skill rather than the core damage skill!

Standing under it (which you'll constantly be while flickering) gives you a stacking dot. Switch to a different attack option that lets you stand to the side.

That poe.ninja builds thing is going to be the freaking death of me. It’s made me realize that two out of three of my characters were accudentally the biggest flavors of the month and my totally not made up special snowflake syndrome is firing on all cylinders On the other hand, wow is that ever a cool tool for hunting for and classifying build ideas.

The museum of artefacts gave me a piece of the tempests binding. This league is amazing. I am glad im playing softcore though because every now and again I get deleted seconds after zoning into an incursion.

Velveteen posted:I actually don't use path of building. I just pick my skill points off poeskilltree and then change around as I play the character. I'll tell you what I have and you can calculate the dps yourself with pathofbuilding. I'm only converting 65% using temple gloves (might want to look into that) but added cold is the best damage support for me. You could also consider either of the crit gems and swapping to conc for bosses.

So I'm toying around the idea of using a single Poet's Pen with Fireball, Elemental Hit (AoF + Jewels), and Elementalist. The idea being that both are high flat damage abilities that scale from increased attack speed. Load up on aspd/fire% and just go. Could probably get the attack speed to a reasonable level, too. Might not be 4 APS but close to it.

Heartbreaker dagger is a solid choice until you can get something nicer. You'll get culling strike, and the added mana and energy shield is good for a hiero.

You could also consider either of the crit gems and swapping to conc for bosses. Wait, added cold? That doesn't sound right.Is it because the conversion is only at 65% you're only taking around half the effectiveness of cold penetration and weapon elemental damage? Or is added cold just that good. I'll give it a try.

I'll give it a try. What? Added cold support scales with both of those. Also it is very good, they buffed it 2-3 leagues ago. Of course it really needs the gem levels to be worth it. E: Hadn't actually looked at your tree, you're grabbing more phys scaling than I would. Deadly Draw is fairly strong, but I wouldn't take Heavy Draw on a non bleed build, and Will of Blades is not very good. If you didn't have those I would have skipped PPAD as well. But in this case I can see Added Cold might not be as attractive.

I actually beat red Elder last night, first time for me. Took three tries and the fucker didn't drop poo poo, but still. Also randomly alch'd a pair of spiked gloves that I then sold for 2ex. Suddenly, currency??? e: oh and I enchanted my helm and hit the lightning spire hits an additional area so I should probably sell that for another couple ex theshim fucked around with this message at 16:36 on Jun 7, 2018 |
