Just curious since I have an enchant with +%damage while leeching. Unless the cost of your blade flurry is really high and your damage/leech really low, you're probably filling up long before the next tic for spending. Don't quote me on that though.

Well making a build based on Doryani's Fist turned out to be a terrible idea.

The Locator posted:Dumb question - how do I price items in stacks? If I set a price of 1c but it's a stack of 10, is that asking for 1c per item or for the stack? The former but you should set the price as something a little higher like 6/5 c or maybe 15/10. People are willing to pay extra for bigger stacks because trading for one fossil at a time and individually zoning into each hideout and dealing with all the afk players who never respond to whispers is ungodly torture. Bonus tip: selling at "15/10"c is different from "3/2", because it means people who use bulk search will see you selling in increments of 10, so they'll only have the option to send a whisper for 10, 20, 30, etc. Helpful when selling stacks of cheap items.

Just curious since I have an enchant with +%damage while leeching. I'm guessing it is turning off, one way to check is to slot "Damage on Full Life" on the attack and see if your tooltip damage is changing as you attack. You could always wear a Soul Tether if you want perma-leech.

Now be a good little market capitalist and sell it on for 15 ex. In other news, with the sale of the watcher's eye I was sitting on, wild strike elementalist is a go.

I learned two important things - super slow attack speed gets you killed quite often and I'm never playing berserker again because losing all your rage stacks because you minimized to chat with someone or look something up sucks. I ended up using chain hook for a while to fill on rage because you could only get one per hit, so good luck casting fist 50 times a map.

I went Raider to counteract the super slow attack speed...I think I need about 15 frenzy charges to make it not feel like total rear end to use.

Ok as an experiment I swapped to Solar Guards and even without optimal auras or gems they still absolutely obliterate, it’s stupid how much better they are than almost every other choice lol.

I finally got the challenge for seven/eight lanes last night. It's amazing how much easier blights are just based on the layout. Eight portals but they were all stretched a far distance and all followed two branches for most of it. All I had to do was bounce back and forth and mow them back. I'm at 22 now, but I'm either going to need some rng blessings or serious grinding to get the last two. Anoint a blight unique? If I had one!

You can lower shavronnes health then just wait until her energy shield recharges and use a low level chaos skill.

What did you switch from and what else have you tried? I'm partial to frost sentinels - the clear is maybe better better and definitely safer than solar guards, but boss dps is much worse. Skeletons in a big hat solve that handily, though.

If I had Static Strike and Ball Lightning linked to cast on crit, could the beams from Static Strike crit and trigger Ball Lightning, or just the strike itself? I have a helmet that could make this effectively a 6 link, so I was thinking Static Strike -> CoC -> Ball Lightning - Added Lightning Damage -> Increased AoE (helm) -> Innervate (helm). The helmet also has a plus one projectile enchant for ball lightning.

For minions this league you just need to assign each minion you want to use a role and then optimize them around that role. For spectre builds, there's basically 4 approaches. The roles you've got to cover are aoe clear and bossing. Ideally you'd have some utility minions too. 1 - spectres for both clear and bossing. 2 - spectres for clear, another minion for bossing. 3 - spectres for bossing, another minion for clear. This is mostly a non-starter. 4 - spectres for support, another minion for clear and bossing. Think carnage chieftains for charges. Or a spectre with a curse. By deciding what you want your spectres to do, you can make better choices about what to select. Slave Drivers are probably the best bossing spectre but their clear isn't brilliant. Solar Guards clear better, but are worse for bossing. Frost Sentinels are further down that road. Once you've a sense of what roles you want various minions to play, you can tune supports. Since I want to use vaal skellies for bosses, I probably also want to use Hatred. It's the biggest dps boost in that aura slot. So then I probably want to use a cold spectre. If, in contrast, I had settled on solar guard spectres I'd end up running suboptimal skeletons. There's no single answer on which spectre is best - it depends on the other choices you've made in your build. Slave Drivers are probably strongest if your other minions are just utility - zombies with wrath applied, elemental army, and feeding frenzy don't do much to clear but they boost the gently caress out of the slave drivers. If you want your zombies to do significant dps though, I'd recommend hatred, probably triad grip, and using frost sentinels as the spectre to increase screen coverage.

MMF Freeway posted:Best single target, worse clear than those other two. Not their clear speed is bad though especially when supported by zombies Quite a bit of the testing has shown them to have the best clear if you're constantly rushing forward, especially with shield charge. If you are able to drag them through the map they explode packs far faster than other spectres, but won't run off screen as far. Solar Guards are only better if you're moving slower and letting the spectres control themselves more. EDIT: This is somewhat map layout reliant also, linear tunnel maps favor slavedrivers heavily. Wide open maps favor Solar Guards.

NofrikinfuN posted:If I had Static Strike and Ball Lightning linked to cast on crit, could the beams from Static Strike crit and trigger Ball Lightning, or just the strike itself? Yes, the only issue is that the beams have a cap of how often they're strike so they can't hit the coc cap by themselves.

Hmm this may explain why I wasn't initially sold on them early on in the league and stuck with solars but when I switched to them later after zealotry was disabled they felt great since I was moving a lot faster by then.

Or you can just say gently caress it and do whatever and still have your minions clear uber elder basically as fast as they can run back and forth between elder and shaper in the boss room.

I’m also partial to Goatman Fire-Raisers for a solid Spectre pick. With GMP, their fireballs can get pretty silly. Plus, if you’re running HoAg, a Mark of Submission with projectile weakness slotted is tasty. None of this is probably “optimal”, though. But, you really don’t have to be as a Necro this league.

I was using Bone Husks because they’re base physical but it just doesn’t matter lol. Slave drivers are good but their desired supports don’t synergize very well with phantasms, and I enjoy watching minions shoot 5 billion projectiles from 2 screens away.

Xeras posted:Do you have a pob planned for wild strike elementalist? https://pastebin.com/2SULJuja Lightning Wild Strike Staff Elementalist with a side of Golems. Combat Focus jewels obviously mandatory, and I think Inpulsa's, Anima Stone, and Primordial Chain as well. So the build costs a few exalts just to get started up. If you can't run a crafted weapon, go for Hegemony's Era. Starkonja's or Devoto's probably mandatory as well, for the dex. I use Oskarm for a bunch of crit and rear end Mark on hit, but getting enough resists on the rest of your gear will be expensive. If you can't afford that, put rear end mark in a lvl1 CWDT setup. A curse on hit ring with some resists/life is probably the optimal but most expensive solution. As for the golems, I'm still in white maps, and the golem gem levels are still low, but it's looking like they'll have to be summoned every once in a while. This will probably be a hassle during boss fights. I think the rest should be pretty self evident. EDIT: Oh yeah, I edited the Anima Stone to reflect what 8 golems really give you in terms of damage and buffs. And I'm planning on using Tribal Fury for the anointment. If you don't want it, or can't afford it, put Ancestral Call into the Wild Strike setup, and swap it out with something like Ruthless for bossing. AC helps a lot with mapping.

Feeling a bit lost after finishing storyline on my heiro flame totem guy. It’s my starter so I don’t really have anything exciting and probably can’t afford to trade for anything. Is the progression now basically to try and fill more of the map atlas up and do deeper delve depths?
