They do but a level 30 Reckoning is still not as good as a Reckoning 6L, not that anyone would do that because if you're gonna 6L something you're obviously gonna do it with a Riposte. "Obviously", she says, as if anyone else put some thought in these lovely skills. You can Reckoning - Pulverize - Life Leech if you need to do it on a 3L. Reckoning gets a huge area from Pulverize, and the raw damage of Reckoning helps capping Life Leech passively.

Fortify doesn't work with trigger gems.euphronius posted:Is fortify even needed on max block A lot of Gladiators go for max block and ignore health pool and other sources of mitigation. Fortify remains a very solid source of mitigation in the game, which is why people in SSFHC still kinda prefer to go for a character with a third of the EHP, but four times more alpha survival as Champion. Fortify as is is 20% less from all hits, with Rampart and Steadfast wheels, 33%. For champions that means 50% more EHP against hits all the time, for everyone else it depends on how good you are at keeping up your Shield Charge Fortify, or your Vigilant Strike Increased Duration The Vigil, or your AG Kingmaker.

Hey I've gotten my ground slam berserker to maps and have a few questions. Its pretty fun but I'm having trouble with health and rage sustain. Health is decent but with the degen pretty much all of my health recovery is flasks+warcries, and then its hard to keep rage up with the warcry node. I guess I cam slap rage in my 5l but thats leaving a lot of damage on the table.

I've finally got to maps, and the ritual rewards are just absurd. On my first map I got one that was just a stack of 10 chaos  This ritual system is insidious, the way it presents all sorts of goodies and makes you defer the best ones until later. Its the perfect hook to make people play just one more map. I hope Chris Wilson never gets into the drug trade.

Has anyone had experience using Badge of the Brotherhood on a flicker strike build? I got insanely lucky and had one come up through Ritual so I’m taking it as a sign I should roll another character for it. Haven’t played flicker in a while and the new raider seemed like it could be a good fit but I’m wondering if anyone who has played one recently has thoughts. Might just roll another CoC Nova Assassin otherwise. Edit: maybe this should be a general “recommend me a build that’s not going to waste this item” question rasputin handshake fucked around with this message at 22:19 on Jan 21, 2021 |

Okay, so I need to stop exploding and I still can't quite figure out how: https://pastebin.com/FB2WHSxq T14+s are very rippy, and every now and then it just feels like 3.5kk DPS doesn't kill stuff fast enough even though that's insane. So I gotta be playing the build wrong or doing something ELSE wrong. Dread Banner (thanks Vas) and Enfeeble helped a bit, Enduring Cry feels awkward though it helps. I'm running basically a mish-mash between Esoro and Matth's build (that's why it has EB) with some random poe.ninja adjustments right now. I could go take Wind Dancer and I still have to finish Uber Lab but I can't see Opportunistic fixing my issues. Other than that I'm not sure what to do other than throw more money at it. Replace the Cold Iron Points? Go shield?

10 storage spots is not *nearly* enough once you get the harvest atlas nodes. It feels like I get 10 good crafting options that I have no use for per grove.

Dutifully deferring all currency over gear through entire acts because I don't have the hang of the economy yet. I've got more Chaos Orbs and Orbs of Fusing that I otherwise would have at this point. Are there any use for Vaal Orbs or are the consequences too risky unless you've got a large stack and a lot of normals to burn through?

I'd say that's the most important use of Vaals.

This league is easily my favorite of all time! Normally the league mechanic gives me a lot of junk loot and I only use a tiny bit of it; but these rituals let me laser focus on exactly what I'm after (dumb uniques and chaos orbs). I am only on tier 3 maps so far so I have not begun with the more advanced new atlas stuff. I expect Maven will be even more fun! I loved harvest crafting, but I have not found any groves yet. Heist seems to have the same drop rate of contracts as Heist league itself The reworked Hexblast and Occultist as absolutely power houses. Huge packs of monsters pop in one hit every time, and bosses die very quickly now. Hexblast seems particularly suited to Ritual league. Maybe GGG wanted to keep everything on theme, the Occultist is the obvious poster child of blood ritual league. The rituals condense a huge number of chump mobs into a small area, this is perfect as Hexblast is an area effect and Profane Bloom makes them all explode when they die (finishing off any stragglers). I'm dying more that I would like, so I think I am going to focus on getting more HP now rather than more damage. Everyone seems to build with energy shield, so I think I'm going to try that once I have saved up enough chaos to afford the proper equipment: https://pastebin.com/zic711eR

How rippy late game content is? I'm doing T3-T5 maps with my bleed bow gladiator and the #1 problem has been dmg. I got Lioneye's Fall jewel yesterday so the damage is a lot better now. I'm just thinking where to go next. I could get -20% from rumi's -24% from rearguard, -4% from reckless defense jewel, -4% from gladiator tree -8% IF i've taken a hit recently (from gladiator tree) So 52-60% chance to block spell and attack hits since glad tree gives equal chance to block spell hits. If I understood right blocking a hit or a spell means I take 0 damage. So it would significantly reduce the damage I take, supposing basically every other hit does 0 damage. I'd lose challenger charges which provide 20% more attack speed and 20% more ms. I would miss the chance of getting frenzy charges too. Also regarding vulnerability, is a warlord ring with vulnerability better than a impresence amulet with free vulnerability aura? Vulnerability boosts damage at least as much as one extra socket in a damage skill. (40-50%). Ihmemies fucked around with this message at 08:11 on Jan 22, 2021 |

Seems you can get body armor with 7% block etc so the block can go up to quite strong numbers. Like this guy has 59% spell and attack block chance. https://poe.ninja/challenge/builds/char/Deniscio/YEPbleedYEPblockYEPglad?i=0&search=class%3DGladiator%26item%3DRearguard Vulnerability gives: Cursed enemies take (30-39)% increased Physical Damage Ailments inflicted on Cursed Enemies deals Damage 20% Faster Which is a solid DPS boost. Especially that bleeds 20% faster...

At least one premium tab for selling stuff is also basically a requirement in trade league. I'd say a basic beginners pack would be currency, map, div and a premium. After that you'll want a quad, at least a couple more premiums (I prefer upgrading the existing free tabs over buying new premiums) and the fragment tab. Essences and the newer league ones are nice enough but I wouldn't go out of my way unless you plan on going all in on crafting. Uniques is very very meh. Make sure you save a little store credit for when the "buy anything and get a free loot crate" offers are on. There's a 2c weta pet if there's nothing you actually want to buy during the deal. And you can buy multiple, one per deal.

My experience playing bleed bow is that the best way to avoid taking damage is to off screen everything with split arrow. I would get the vuln ring ASAP, right after the bow basically, and yes it is way better than the amulet because vuln aura requires you to be within aura range, but vuln on hit goes as far as split arrow does. After the vuln ring I would probably ignore rearguard unless it's <10c and shoot straight for a phys dot multi quiver, and I really liked to use kaom's heart (really cheap at this point in softcore) with this build but I'm not sure what your build guide recommends. I do think that the vuln ring is probably one of the most important parts of the build and I'd recommend getting it ASAP.

The vulnerability isn't that huge difference in damage. Skills with Lioneye's Fall jewel give more damage.. I have money for the ring, I'm planning to go for it next though. 6L belly is quite expensive. I thought block would be good in juiced maps, bosses etc. so you don't get accidentally deleted.. might give more time to charge the snipe etc? Also there's a nice small cluster jewel which gives endurance charges when blocking: Rote Reinforcement +20 to maximum Life 20% chance to gain an Endurance Charge when you Block +4% Chance to Block Attack Damage Maxed rearguard is like 2C and rumi 20C. 10 regrets are free since I always forget them and leave them to collect dust in my currency tab...

I don't think the div card tab is all that useful. I use a regular-size tab for mine, and just pull out all the ones with blue numbers occasionally. I don't see the value for the specialized version. Fragment tab is great for keeping things organized, imo, and would be on my list after currency, map, and a few premiums. We had a poll at some point last year about what everyone thought were the best tabs. I don't suppose anyone kept that, and maybe it could go in the OP?

I think you'll be surprised, 30% more combined with the full bleed dealing damage 20% faster is an insane mod combo and is super noticeable, especially for map clear. I suppose it depends on how big your bleeds are, though. I didn't use the snipe hat because sniping late game bosses was a horrible experience, I just threw out a mirage archer + gmp + ensnaring arrow and then tapped puncture a few times to get a good highroll with ryslatha's coil, which kicked off a bleed that would destroy any non-conqueror boss before it had time to finish 2-3 attacks. Herald of Purity is IMO a non-optional quality of life improvement because the presence of the sentinels fucks with boss AI in a really beneficial way. I'm sure I had plenty of block I just never noticed it because everything died so fast.

Pob says that a 32% increased effect *vuln ring gives 32% more split arrow dmg, from 38k to 50k. That doesn't sound too big of a number. If I got a 6L with deadly ailments it would give 40% more dmg, from 38 to 53k. BOTH would take it from 38 to 70k. Ihmemies fucked around with this message at 10:21 on Jan 22, 2021 |

I also use just a regular tab for div cards and it takes me basically all league to fill it up.

When I ran bleed bow a few leagues ago I didn't go full block and I'm frankly not sure how to get there with a bow. I just focused on off screening mobs as much as possible.
