Mentat Radnor posted:That's how both of them used to work years ago, just % increased mana cost of skills. I don't know why they changed it in the first place, since the only real abuse cases were with Zerphi's Last Breath, which got nerfed into alch shards over a year before the mana cost changes on these other uniques. they were part of the first wave of archmage nerfs iirc

When I played Vortex occ a few leagues ago it felt like it hit a major damage wall until I could switch to LL. After that it was excellent, but it requires enough gear that I don't know if it would be a good pick for SSF.

My buddy played an Exsanguinate Champion last league that went really, really well for him. Some gear overlap with Seismic Trap (specifically Cold Iron Point early) which is unfortunate because it's looking like that'll be popular again. Unleash got nerfed a bit and exsang didn't get as much of a buff to compensate, so that's too bad. +2 amulets will be harder to come by and without Sirus as the Atlas End Boss means Crown of the Inward Eye will be more expensive. I don't think any of this is enough to kill the build, though. I hope. But we're still almost a full week out. I'll change my mind several times between now and then. Ultimately I want something tanky enough to survive the new bosses so I'm not just getting clapped and learning nothing as I burn through six portals.

shimmy shimmy posted:Well that's pretty busted sounding. What node do you give up for Master Surgeon though? Yeah it's Nature's Boon for pconc. The investment into all the flask stuff lets you gen enough life flask charges and with the Flagellant's you keep utility flasks up. Nature's Boon is a great node with it for Lightning Strike or other poison skills that don't need the chaos aoe node though. The 20% chance not to consume charges is a chance to double trigger instead of messing up the trigger.

boredsatellite posted:why do they hate archmage so much i really don't know why they ever added that support gem because they've spent the last like 2 years constantly nerfing it. and i don't think it was all that good after the first round of nerfs. 3.15 upgraded it to dogshit and 3.16 probably made it worse than any other support regardless of build. having 5 auras is always going to be more damage and probably would be if we had archmage 1.0 and not the sad poo poo we do now

I noticed a summoner using this weapon in Scourge League along with The Squire to have a 12-link for their minions: What in the gently caress is going on here? I've seen weapons that can roll like Increased Critical Strikes, but since when was Multistrike or Ruthless even possible?

Then just get to rollin and pray to the RNG gods. Or more likely, sacrifice to the RNG demons. For level 20 of all those support mods, craftofexile puts this item at a little over 25 billion chaos to hit it.

Jinnigan posted:Does anyone have a guide on how to profit and juice Rituals? The incoming atlas rework and removal of watchstones is going to change how this works and it may no longer be possible, but as things are right now my understanding is the best way to profit from rituals is to target ilvl 86 ritual specific item bases. Blizzard crowns, dreamquest slippers, etc. The gist is you get the 3 unique watchstones that raise the area monster level (terror,misinformation, stalwart defenders), and a 4th watchstone with the meticulous mod (area is guaranteed to have 4 rituals altars.) Meticulous has a really low weight so you'll have to shell out exalts or a lot of alterations for it. This makes your maps essentially T19 assuming you run a T16 map. Run maps in the region with the ritual atlas passives until you get a natural ritual spawn if ritual isn't on the map device to force it. Fill up your blood vessels. Then use the filled vessels on future T19 maps to get more ritual spawns. Take any ritual base you see, with blizzard crowns likely being the jackpot. Price check and see if the base is worth beast splitting, since the split tag will reduce the value. If I had to take a wild guess I suspect they will move various watchstone mods to sextant mods in this expansion, or possibly atlas tree passives as well. If they don't then you'll want to look for any method to raise the area level if one exists after the reworks. edit: If you wanted to go further with this and have some crafting chops, you could craft the bases yourself. Ignite is likely to be very popular this league, if you know how to craft the type of blizzard crown those builds are looking for you might be able to extend your profit further beyond selling just the base.

They definitely showed at least one of the Atlas Passives is "if you do get rituals, you get 4 ritual altars guaranteed" so that's one part of the strat locked and loaded

Archmage was a huge balance problem because it let you stack a single stat (mana) for both offenses and defenses (via mom, clarity eye, omeyocan, agnostic, etc). I'm not saying they couldn't have fixed it eventually, but something like that is pretty much always going to oscillate wildly between overpowered and useless based on pretty small numerical tweaks.

TFT is is a huge racket, less stressful just letting the big $$$ craft go to waste than sell anything there. After all, something is as only valuable as it is to you, or if it actually sells.

People won't buy from a player with no vouches to speak of, but if you can get 5-6 vouches you can often then sell your good thing only slightly under market. If you can get to 20 that's best. You can also quickly build vouches with benchcrafting mods if you get a good one early, or with boss carries if you're able to.

I get the vouch thing, but the folks wanting large amounts of collateral frustrated me. Maybe the culture there's changed since I tried selling poo poo in Harvest. I don't know if the people I was talking to were overpricing the item they were giving me or what but I sure as gently caress wasn't going to give them more in collateral than what the item they traded to me was worth.
