Stuff like “chance to create a Mirrored copy” or “chance to Fracture an item” can stack above 100%, so you could in theory make a 6 Fractured mod item

Example given was if you had 120% chance to create a Mirrored copy, you get 1 Mirrored copy, 20% chance at a 2nd.

Creating a 6 Fractured item would just be a total flex move.

I mean, that's an enormous failure of game design on GGG's part but not like... anything new. or that they seem interested in fixing.

Speaking of which, what are the good league starters if I want something relaxed after Last Epoch got me interested in the genre again? DD looks really good but it'll require chain-farming merc lab for a bit, right?

For the people not planning to play one of these builds, are there any items this points to being particularly valuable to craft or filter for (obviously fractured high tier mana on certain bases, but beyond that)? Any flasks that I should be looking to preferentially craft to sell to these builds?

One stage of the build needs life reservation efficiency rings. You can also look up Conner's vid on crafting attribute stygian vise belts and maybe make a profit off them or an ingredient

Was poking around youtube and saw Ziz has an updated 3.24 guide for his EA Champ in which he leads off by saying the build got a buff this patch, but I didn't catch what the buff actually is.

Was there a notable buff to EA and/or Champion?

I think they're interested in fixing, it's just as he said - them trying to fix it led to PoE2.

They just think PoE1 is too fast these days to make melee feel good.

He mentions it a minute into the video, he's a big fan of Automation support linked with Enduring Cry to patch up the sustain and give endurance charges.

One time i prank called a bear buildin workshop and said I wanted my mamaws ashes put in a teddy from where she loved them things so well... The woman on the phone did not skip a beat. She just said, "Brang her on down here. We've did it before."
New tech that I thought of that's probably stupid: instead of scaling prismatic burst, block your attack element w the jewel and think of it as elemental equilibrium support when you grab the keystone.

10,000 mana as 1500 flat phys damage on a proj that can fork and chain is crazy good


Also: league starting pconc is confirmed bait unless you plan to switch skills. They nerfed it bigly

That KB is probably real good in a squire 12L, if wands even have enough attack mods I can't remember.

Yea KB of clustering could be pretty sweet, fork and split are different functions so fork should work? And the new wisp support could help make it feel less fiddly with only having "one" proj. Also it's phys damage rather than the usual lightning damage from mana, which has wider scaling implications. Hatred immediately comes to mind if you cold convert. Also also, with all that flat damage, your wand's base damage matters less so you could use something like the new unique that was teased lol

New Ele Hit is kinda cool, too. Notably the area damage component of this one has a base radius of 1.5 vs. the 1.0 of standard Ele Hit.

e: Also new KB got somewhat similar wording to reworked Archmage. "Deals added physical damage equal to 15% of maximum mana." Not unreserved mana. Not mana cost of the skill. Just max mana, whereas new Archmage is "% of unreserved maximum mana".

You idiot.
In this world it's pet or BE pet.

So that "of glittering" scarab is utterly insane, right? Isn't that more than a decked out MF character would get currently, and all you have to do is just keep killing.

Seems like the scarabs really want you to just stack them and go hard on one mech, wonder what you're going to do with all the atlas points that don't go to that one mechanic.

God help me I'm going to get baited by ritual once again because those scarabs seem insanely strong.
