Quill rain is looking to be very expensive at league start.

Dance Officer posted:Quill rain is looking to be very expensive at league start. What does very expensive mean for a hyper common unique in a league focused on spells, post last leagues nerf. I bought a qr 4 hours after start for 4c which was the going rate and id expect the same this time. Yeah maybe if you wait until 24hr itll spike to 10c or something if its on meta (its not) but if your build uses it in endgame ask your friends to pool 4c lol

Why would you go bow HoAg when you can just put (lesser) poison supp on a storm brand?

Lightning Trap is very good and it got buffed this patch. In Incursion I was using it for my trapper before switching to Arc traps around level 85, once the secret of how loving broken it was got out.

You can also scour chance a 6l pretty easily using the porcupine cards.

That sounds good but I like Fire-themed spells more from a thematic viewpoint, think I'm supposed to use Fire and Flamethrower Traps together

frajaq posted:Think I'm gonna try out a trapper build this league, flamethrower trap looks cool You're probably aware of it but check out Octavian's Rainbow Trapper - https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2173888/page/16 Stacking flat elemental to abuse 200% damage effectiveness on fire trap. A lot of the traps got buffed for 3.6 as well. If I don't start RF I'll probably go this route. Clear isn't as good as the old arc traps but it's still pretty quick.

Wait so with Wave of Conviction, if I'm reading this right, if you did 50% fire/lightning balanced properly you would apply exposure to both?

i guess the damage numbers might not line up perfectly when its rolled though, according to rory, so its still rare it'll hit both.

It'll be almost impossible to balance it exactly because heralds and you WANT to be using heralds with this because of its high effectiveness of added damage.

Oh well gently caress that then. I'll probably just do mostly lightning or something.

So you can run 100% reserved mana?

I mentioned it earlier but the one notable difference is that chaos still bypasses your es even though it's on your mana so you're not getting the reduction assuming you have all of your mana reserved

Its still possible, but you'd have to give up on using all the heralds but purity and stack as much flat phys as possible. For an elementalist though I dont see the point. You either do lightning using a phys to lightning gem and focus on mostly lightning or you equip a hrimsorrow and convert the rest to ice Converting mostly to lightning makes the most sense to me with the changes to OoS as a potential single target ability but hrimsorrow could be useful if you want to chill/freeze more consistently.

So I'm gonna do something new this league, and play co-op with a buddy (goon friend Jabarto). He'll be running the below cursebot and I'll be the aurabot. Occultist Cursebot: https://pastebin.com/x4PqYiHF - 4 curses, but only 3 are active because we're not sure what elemental we're going to do - This is the barebones build, before it switches to CI Mana Guardian Aurabot: https://pastebin.com/byuJhbv5 My questions for the thread: - Is there a more effective duo build? - We're not sure what element we'll be going, hence the minion generic damage nodes. What is a good skill for us to look into? I want one that hits hard and often, so I can proc shared charges. - I was thinking of Orb of storms combined with the buffed shock or ball lightning? Frostbolt + ice nova? - Do brands leech? - These are "homebrew" barebone starter builds I made. Any obvious problems with them?

Normally if you have a curse bot and an aura bot there is a third guy who like, does the damage. You're running two supports just supporting each other.

Alright, with 4 hours to spare I've actually managed to decide on a build, kinda. I have a planned tree for some kind of trickster CI channeling thing, but I can pretty easily swap around what element I'm running. Right now it's between storm burst, winter orb or CWC incinerate/fireball. All of them should be able to clear and kill bosses, so we'll see what feels best. I'm just happy I won't have to sit in queue trying to decide what to run this league.

I'm taking Mathil's FB/Ice Nova build from last league and making it CI. The build, for reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjtTcuq3M3k And my conversion: https://pastebin.com/2z93ii75 Looks like from tree I'm getting 1200 ES, 173% inc ES, and 360 ES Leech. How does that rate?

I'm starting to play roulette for my builds like I always do, after having decided on a Bane/Soulrend Occultist days ago. Because of course. Currently on the wheel: Bane/Soulrend Occultist. CI (of course) going triple or possibly quad curse. Pros: Likely extremely high damage, reflect immunity is very good for first characters, very high survivability later on Cons: Possibly on-meta, making gearing expensive and annoying. Two new skills that mechnically might not be fun or effective. Would go for the same ascendancy choices as every loving Occultist I've ever done. Toxic Rain Occultist Pros: TR is still good and is very fun. I would get to spec to Void Beacon / Withering Presence, which I never have done. Cons: Gear is going to be on-meta, Quill Rain may be annoying to get the first day. Wave of Conviction Elementalist. Quad herald. EB/MoM. Pros: Life-based hybrid gear will be cheap. Probably scales really easily. Herald minions are real good for defenses. Cons: New skill that might mechanically not be fun or effective. Purifying Flame is a backup. Purifying Flame or Divine Ire Inquisitor Pros: Probably the best synergy between skills/ascendancies Cons: Purifying Flame would want the consecrated path ascendancy, Ire would want the crit one.

Still planning on loving around with full conversion divine ire trickster. I'll probably add in wave of conviction as well. Both will get phys to lightning supports. I figure wave can clear trash, while also applying exposure for lightning. Anything that survives gets to play with divine ire. It seems like it will probably be a reasonable combo. I know the right starter this league to be a little off meta is probably HoAg, but I dislike dragging along minions.
