I still haven't really fleshed out this guy, but Rain of Arrows is really solid, even on single targets. Mostly due to the fact it's become Kinetic Blast but At The Ground, since 50% of all the arrows you fire up in the air all seek out a target in the area, which makes it very nasty against single target. https://i.imgur.com/ecK8ztv.gifv the rest of it is how bullshit Doomfletch Prism is

I've found that Rain of Arrows starts off really strong but starts to fall off pretty hard in higher tier maps. I think this is mostly due to the abysmal base damage of the skill. I'm not done scaling the build yet, so we'll see what else I can squeeze out of it though.

Yeah, that's my worry as well, I've only just gotten to maps with this character and red tier maps are a whole different ballgame.

I legit respect Chris because he knows he has little expertise in the game he helped found. His role is to allow more talented people to work and mediate between their decisions. No auteur arrogance. The downside is that the story themes of the game has evolved greatly from 1.2 onwards, and not always for the better.

It took me a little while to progress to red maps on my RoA character, but at this point I'm doing better than any of my LA/IS + Barrage builds in the past couple of years. My Harbinger Tornado Shot might have been stronger - definitely had better clear but was far worse on bosses. https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/fatmanuel/characters

I'm pretty sure this thing is between good and nutso, but I'm unsure of how to properly sell it. Is it one of those things I should soak a few ex into by adding multimod and crafting up, or sell it as is, or ???

It's got 4 mods already so no point in multi modding. Just craft spell damage and list it

Does the "Gain 10% of elemental damage as extra chaos damage" effect spell damage? Also, can someone take a look at my character and kind of give me some direction as to what upgrades I should be going for? I am approaching T9-T10 and its getting a bit rougher. https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/choppyesq/characters Character is Choppy_Arcmines I have about 200C to my name right now and for the most part still using my 1c-5c gear that I got to max out resists. nerox fucked around with this message at 16:05 on Jun 13, 2018 |

Vasudus posted:My CI Arc/Spire trapper is one of the tankiest things I've ever had. I'm running with an Incandescent Heart and it's just stupid. 6k ES with 20% regen, global blind aura, less damage from blinded enemies, immunity to shock/ignite, and a shitload less elemental taken. On top of insanely safe, insanely high damage skills with good clear. However, I've never played a CI build before, and at level 70 I don't think I have nearly enough Energy Shield (around 3k right now) to take the nodes. I also think I hosed up by not taking Pyromaniac in the Saboteur tree, since that seems to be the key to getting big ES regen. Is there a good, modern guide to transitioning over to CI? I assume I need capped elemental resists, decent life regen (for Zealot's), and a lot more ES.

Are there any decent wands for a low level wander? I am trying to level as wands (against basically everyone's advice) and I'm having an OK time with power siphon, ele hit, barrage, etc. but my weapon is beyond terrible. I doubt anyone is selling a low level rare but I haven't looked. Any uniques come to mind?

I'm not done scaling the build yet, so we'll see what else I can squeeze out of it though. I'm obliterating T15 maps with Rain of Arrows on a 5L it really isn't that bad. Especially for bossing you have the Vaal version which melts everything it touches. You start seeing the damage drop off on guardians though thats for sure. Keep at it, rain of arrows is my favorite bow skill so far.

One thing I've noticed with Rain of Arrows in PoB is that it's not listed anywhere near it's actual damage. The damage listed is just your Average Damage multiplied by your attacks per second, when in reality you also have to multiply that by the number of arrows that hit. Given that at least 50% of all your arrows fired in a volley will hit a target in the aoe, on single target bosses that comes to a minimum of (Avg.Dam * att.second)*11. This doesn't factor in that each arrow does a mini-aoe when it hits the ground, so you'll also have a sort-of kinetic-blast effect going on. So yeah, couple that with being able to also use Vaal Rain of Arrows, which has the same interaction but fires four volleys per use, and you have 2 uses to store, it's not surprising it tears through most bosses. As always, I'm sure someone else can work out the math to a much better degree.

I am fairly certain that against a single target you do not get 50% of all arrows landing on them, The graphics do not line up with this at all, and it would be the single highest damage dealing attack in the game by almost double. I believe that once a target has been chosen for RoA, it can not be chosen a second time, thus against a single target you get 1 guaranteed arrow and 20ish random explosions, giving the attack a very large damage variance. What I am interested in learning about with regards to RoA is how increasing area of effect impacts the ability. Because the arrows drop in concentric circles, it is possible that increase the aoe doesn't increase the spread, and only increases the explosion aoe, thus increase aoe would greatly increases damage potential.

https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Divination_Distillate (40-60)% increased Rarity of Items found during Flask effect (12-18)% increased Quantity of Items found during Flask effect 25% increased Light Radius during Flask effect +4% to all maximum Elemental Resistances during Flask effect https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Soul_Catcher Cannot gain Mana during effect Vaal Skills deal (60-100)% increased Damage during effect Vaal Skills have 25% reduced Soul Cost during effect Vaal Skills used during effect have (40-20)% reduced Soul Gain Prevention Duration I wonder if they realized that effect with the new flask. Probably need a soul taker to really take advantage of this though.

I'm running it with conc. effect, to make sure as many of the arrows land in close enough proximity to get the explosions going off on a single target as well, so that's probably where the majority of the real damage is coming from. Right now the aoe on it is at 20, which is comparitively tiny, so having 22 arrows all hitting that is going to make an impact. Edit: Rain of Arrows also don't get the increase in radius that other aoe skills get from levels, so it'll always stay a small radius Keru fucked around with this message at 22:29 on Jun 13, 2018 |
