is there anything fun you can do with a melee chaos damage build right now? I can't even find any builds running it so I am assuming it is just trash and my dreams of poison cleaving my way through mobs are never going to come true

Some of the boss audio queues are pretty useful the only option I set to false in the config was sound_effects_volume2, I still have all dialogue and all my item filter noises enabled because there are separate variables for those. haven't actually taken on any bosses who speak yet but I'll report back if there's any issues

i've been looking at some new build ideas, I think I've got it settled to I'm either going to make a Shattering Steel Slayer or an Ice Crash Slayer. so yes folks, my next character is going to be: Bad. anyone have any experience taking either of those skills into maps and seeing how they fare? it sounds like I might be able to get some good clear speed going in either case, wit questionable boss slaying ability

I have been working on a cold conversion Shattering Steel Slayer and it's pretty fun/cool/frustrating/stupid all at once, looking for some input from anyone who could offer it as to where to go next with the skill tree/gear, or maybe I'm doing some things hideously wrong and need to fix 'em asap. here's my PoB: https://pastebin.com/48RXm48d I run Awakened Fork while mapping because the clear speed is insane, then swap in Impale for bosses/metamorphs. I've been juggling 8 or 9 gems through the entire game trying to figure out what works best since PoB's DPS number is not very helpful to me. looking at it now, I realized I never got my final lab so uhhh that's at least one obvious fix I can make going forward!

whypick1 posted:Just looking at PoB's numbers, Slower Projectiles or Awakened Cold Damage would be much better than Impale. Since you're doing 100% cold damage, there's no Impale stacks for you to build up, so the gem is only giving you the 14% more damage mod. Slower Projectiles at level 20 is 29%, Awakened Cold at level 5 is 24%. 29 is obviously greater than 24, but you may not like the slower projectile speed. hey thanks for this post! I tried out slower projectiles (yuck) and ended up picking up the Awakened Added Cold after, then toyed around with PoB numbers, dropped Maim and also picked up Awakened versions of Elemental Damage w/ Attacks + Vicious Projectiles to go with the Awakened Fork/Cold Penetration just to fully maximize what I'm working with here. combining that with actually finishing out my Ascendancy, things are feeling pretty slick now and taking down metamorphs isn't such a chore. now to work on min-maxing that gear...

anyone ever run a Smite build? I'm mostly done with Metamorph and looking towards next league so I've been tinkering with some ideas for a league starter. in continuing with a long tradition of bad builds and bad choices, I would be running a Scion ascending under Elementalist and Inquisitor which would give me a lot of resistance penetration, super cool heralds, the extra golem, and beefy shocks. I would be able to convert 100% of my damage to lightning very easily since Smite has 50% and phys to lightning you can get in act 2 and will take you the rest of the way, then late game there will be a larger variety of ways to get there. I'll still be messing around with the tree and skill gems for a while, might even level up a metamorpher real quick just to see if this is miserable, but here's the dumbass PoB I came up with for running this: https://pastebin.com/xxFvPPsV it might be ludicrous and horrible but I think this could pull off at least making it to the end game and then drowning miserably in a pool of its own blood.

holy flame totems was able to get me all the way through to sirus without any difficulty or any real investment this league, and I doubt it or any other similar kinds of totem builds are gonna see the nerf stick going into the next league, so I'm sure some sort of spell totem build would be great for a new starter. I test leveled my dumbass Smitin' Scion (Inquisitor/something, probably Pathfinder) build to see how it goes from a clean start and I'll probably be rolling into the new content with that. because of how good the Smite/Ancestral Call interaction is, it doesn't look like I'll need much in the way of gear or links until maps. when it inevitably fails to do anything fun and I give up before accruing any real currency, my second dude will probably be Molten Strike on a Juggernaut.

MMF Freeway posted:For some reason there seemed to be a flair up of people playing cremation with sire of shards at some point during the league. Chieftains mainly, I think the point was to get tanky though because the damage didn't look great because of the way Cremation's projectile scaling works, using a Sire of Shards takes you from shooting 42 projectiles over 8 seconds to 84 over 8 seconds. all the projectiles can hit the same enemy so it's a big rear end boost but yeah, still doesn't look great

I was pretty set on that Smite Ascendant starter but after some time dinking around in PoB, I think Lightning Strike is going to be a way better choice in the end. if there's anyone who wants to eye up this build I would appreciate it, here's the PoB link: https://pastebin.com/tSiz6Kjh I'll be going Elementalist/Inquisitor, converting all my physical to lightning and whapping things down with a big fat two hander (allocated for swords because I assume that's where it'll end up), partying with Fire & Ice golems, and miserably starved for sockets every single step of the way I assume. picking up an Essence Worm and moving Wrath over so I can fit in another Herald would probably do me well, and it'd be nice to pick up any of the +1 golem jewels so I could bring the Chaos fella into the party too, but it looks like I should be able to roll into maps and get my farm on pretty easily even without that. can't wait for the skill tree to drastically change and ruin all of this planning

I have like 100 more t16s than I could ever possibly run on my own. by my last few weeks, in the league, I wouldn't even pick up t15s or below because why the heck bother. I think they can probably drop a big fat stack of nerfs on map drop rates and still come out okay

Cinara posted:Why Scion, just curious but I can't really think of a good reason to play any melee build as Scion over something else. I guess I just really enjoy the extra level of customization you get out of going scion. I knew after I made my failure of a Shattering Steel Slayer (later a passable but uninspiring Frostblades Slayer) that I wanted to play around with another phys->ele conversion build this league. so I started mocking up some stuff in PoB focusing on Inquisitor, Elementalist, and Pathfinder mostly to see how they were turning out. Inquis/Ele builds were always a little poop because I was too far away from all the good melee nodes I need and the tree travel was rough; Pathfinder was fine but I'm almost definitely not gonna be dual wielding or using a shield so her starting area doesn't offer me a ton. so when I started looking at all these watered down Scion ascendancies, I saw that I could get a good amount of ele penetration through a buncha different combos, stay closer to the melee damage nodes, pick up some extra sockets than I can't as easily achieve from other classes, and still be able to grab a bunch of increased life from the tree. and I will definitely enjoy playing a build that isn't really "in use" in the same way, and it's something that I have to play with and figure out on my own. that trash rear end Shattering Steel dude was super fun because it required more effort and thought and experimentation than other builds I try, and I hope to get the same out of my weird lightning conversion Scion, whichever skill and ascendancies she may end up with

I went through all of my old standard characters deleting them to make room for new stuff for Delirium, and boy there was some stupid rear end poo poo in there. nothing had been played since ~January 2014 a CoC Shadow who was running: CwDT + Ice Spear/Power Charge on Crit/Lesser Multiple Projectiles Spectral Throw + LMP to proc my crits, firing off massive volleys of Arc, Freezing Pulse, and Fireball really wish the tree for this fella wasn't reset so I could take a look at the horror beneath. I can't imagine what the hell mapping with him would have done to my trash computer back then. chump didn't even have move speed on his boots! the worst part: I'm pretty sure this character was from a two week hardcore race. an Elemental Hit Ballista Totem witch for some reason rolling with the old school Maligaro's Virtuosity + Rathpith's Globe. again, really wish I could see the old, surely ridiculous skill tree she had 5 separate Holy Flame totem builds (2 Scion, 2 Templar, 1 Marauder). apparently the hot build back in the day was to do HF Totem + Fire Pen + GMP + Faster Casting + Added Chaos Damage + Faster Projectiles. it sounds god awful. every single one of these characters was stacked to the teeth with rarity gear. a Marauder running... uh... searing bond + ice nova traps??? this thing must have been absolute trash. I fished it out of the gutter and put it directly into the game. good lord. so I guess I have always made brain damaged builds in this game
