funmanguy posted:I like the idea of making a summon skeletons dark pact build. Scale minion life and area damage and use minion instability had a big nuke. I am trying to wedge it all into a null's inclination, but that seems farfetched. Even so, nulls would have a 2L and a 4L, 2L is skellies+minion life, 4L is darkpact+some stuff probably. Blast rain or rain of arrows seem like the ideal choices for attack to trigger the gems. Without any jewels with minion life, just with whats in the tree and the gem, level 20 skellies would have about 4511 life. Using a level 20 darkpact would deal 471-571 base chaos damage, and a minion instability hit would be 1488 fire damage. i want to try dark pact totems hierophant but i cant get all the good ascendancy nodes for totems, mind over matter and the power charge generation

Since we are putting together a new OP, heres a link i found to some good starter builds. 2h Cyclone: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1302337 bow: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1041989 Necro Scorching Ray: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZyn3q_M1as Of course, all theorycrafting for 3.0 is in the shitter because we have no idea where the balance is gonna shake out, but these seem like a decent place to start.

Hey y'all I'm puttin the finishing touches on a new OP but what I really need a hand with is beginner friendly starter builds, preferably with a link to a build guide. I'm trying to put together a small collection of melee, ranged, caster, summoner, etc type starter builds.

I am expecting a lot of DW sunder characters. There are numerous people making guides suggesting it. Can't say I blame them. Anything with a fast attack speed and whirling blades gets bonus points in my book. Been theorizing glacial cascade sab and essence drain trickster though, because I hate myself.

The bottom two are quite a lot tankier than the first two. The frost blades build also turns into CI which will have to be reworked for 3.0.

The chieftain build will be very tanky. And with the network changes be sure to switch it off of predictive. That will make it so it freezes everything in place when you lag instead of letting you move around and come back to a dead character.

I am 100% doing Doomfletch Inquisitor Totem (probably siege ballista). You don't need a Doomfletch to start with, it starts and scales well, it doesn't really require many uniques other than the bow itself, and the bow is super cheap and easy to get! Hello, any map mod (except ele reflect is annoying). Or I could do full fire conversion chieftain for fire-immune totems and then I really will be able to do literally any map mod! Then I'd have to worry about resistances instead of crit chance. Or did they say that they were changing how elemental reflect map mods worked?

Playing this for the first time. My ranger build doesn't seem very exciting. I've got splitting/piercing lightning arrows to clear packs and pumped up fire arrows for hard single targets. Seems pretty efficient, but I'm wondering if there are any more interesting or active skills to buy or add. I'm in act three and I haven't seen many exciting looking skills. Excited by the idea of the new expansion. I've always been really turned off by the ARPG cliche of running through the exact same content three times but just having it tougher each time. Sounds like this might mix it up enough for me to keep going. Usually I play these games through with a couple classes on 'normal' and move on to something else.

Try Tornado Shot or Blast Rain perhaps? If you do the Library quest ("A Fixture of Fate") in Act 3 you'll have access to all* of the gems, but mid-way through A3 that'll be it for skill gems, so you've probably seen all the bow skills by now. *There's a couple gems that are drop-only and some that don't unlock until Act 4. The former you won't be able to buy from him period, the latter you'll have to wait until you unlock them in A4 before he'll sell them

Seconding Blast Rain, or perhaps Ice Shot. Honestly both is good too - Blast Rain hits in a small area, and with some combination of fork/chain/peirce, Ice Shot will hit the whole screen. Both are pretty flashy.

The world will never know. Back to the drawing board. The threshold gem vendor in Act 5 really opens up all sorts of fun stuff. Each gem only costs an alch!

How exactly are you supposed to use cast on melee kill? You have to use two links for cast on melee kill and a spell, reducing the damage your melee skill does and causing the spell to have no links (or to take more from the melee skill). Is there something I'm missing or did they just forget to add something like "Spells cast on melee kill deal 300% more damage"?
