No changes to reflect? I guess casters are still hosed without Vaal Pact if they aren't an Elementalist or use Sybil's. The Pantheon stuff isn't gonna do anything. Reflect was still noticeable even on my Vaal Pact CI Inquisitor on Legacy with Incandescent Heart and Atziri's Promise. Also Infernal Blow is pretty ridiculous now. You can easily get an effective 100% monster life dealt as fire damage as a Slayer because of the culling (an universal 25% more multiplier for hits) and the new Damage on Full Life gem, plus free melee splash. I don't know if I would want to play a name lock skill though.

George posted:The Slayer changes are really sad, looking at it again. They didn't really nerf it much, they just made sure that the only build that ever took something other than the usual nodes was punished for it. The changes aren't bad. Those less used nodes are the best nodes in the game for builds that rely on stun or Melee Splash. The problem is that the builds that do that suck, not that Slayer isn't a good enough band-aid for them.

People don't group up because doing so actually makes the game harder unless it's with a fully dedicated support. It's terrible game design.

Am I reading the gem wrong or does Charged Dash effectively deal 400% base damage in its entire area if you hold it at max distance?

Fenris13 posted:The more attack speed modifies everything charged dash does, the entire attack period is 60% faster. It is just that each stage takes one attack period to reach, and each attack pulse takes two. this is breaking my brain Edit: Not unprecedented though. Cyclone tooltip is stupid too.

If that overrides the block cap it's broken. Even reaching the cap normally isn't as good as 50% damage reduction from every hit.

uhhhhahhhhohahhh posted:If you mean double strike do it as a gladiator. Blood explosions make the clear very fast Are the explosions actually useful for anything but clearing corpses? The damage is hard to scale and a base damage of 10% of monster health is very little unless the area of effect is large enough for significant overlap. And unlike Herald of Ice it can't chain.

Gladiator changes look good if you want movement speed with your max block.  It looks like the melee changes are contained mostly in the mechanics and skill gems. Unless trickster gets a much needed nerf it looks like I'm gonna go hybrid trickster cyclone with QotF.

It's incredibly easy to one-shot packs in this game. I bet most of the supposed clear speed improvement is imagined because people like to see monsters pop.

Papercut posted:These ascendancy changes have me seriously reconsidering my plan to go trickster. Slayer and zerker both look juicy. It depends on the tree and skill changes for me. It's not very hard to make a hybrid Cyclone trickster with 10k hp, 45k evasion, 50% spell dodge +184% move speed and over 300k shaper dps. I will probably play Berserker or Slayer if the new fortify nodes are good and if they add crit nodes in the bottom left of the tree. The new axe, mace or staff exclusive support gems might be game changers too.

Being able to do damage (and leech) while avoiding damage is kind of the thing that makes cyclone good. Now that you can cancel it into an instant movement skill it's even better. Though animation canceling is supposed to make every melee skill be able to do that.

I've waited a long time for cyclone to be channeled. I've also waited a long time for a Grim Dawn-like targeting system. I hope any of the name lock melee skills will be worth using over cyclone but I kinda doubt it.

MMF Freeway posted:They really went all out for pure phys builds and its pretty cool. There are too many good support gems now I think it's pretty dumb. The extreme scaling for physical damage means that elemental conversion melee skills can't compare. The massive flat physical damage is gonna be the return of the dual wield meta because of the 32% more scaling. I'm just going to play a non-crit champion cycloner because I don't see a reason to get more damage.

MMF Freeway posted:Yes. I would expect ruthless to work with multistrike like crits do with it only activating on the third multistrike use but with each of the three hits getting the multiplier. That's how it works right now. If it works like that in 3.7 you could cancel after the first attack 2 times and start a third multistrike with the whole bonus. They made ruthless unable to with blade flurry and cyclone for similar reasons. It's possible they have balanced it by making you need to finish a whole multistrike sequence for it to count as an attack for ruthless.

p2w is extremely terrible game design but the loot pickup and rare identifying is like the thing p2w games put in to annoy you and make you pay to avoid so it might actually be worse game design imo

I used Storm Brand for single target in Metamorph and obviously it was broken because you could just run away while killing the bosses. I can't imagine the thought process behind allowing Archmage support to be used with brands. Was it even good for anything else?

I'm still not convinced the clear speed increases from on-death explosions aren't mostly placebo. Scaling the damage is hard and physical explosions should get almost nullified by armor. The old elementalist herald of ice chaining was something else though.

It bothers me that the first thing that gets "fixed" due to whining is the profitability of undoubtedly most overpowered league mechanic ever made. I have set up 3 t1 harvesters per color and it's still just not fun having to go into the grove and bring bases and scourings and swap out storage tanks and horticrafting stations and reconnect the pylons. It's not complicated it's just tedious and all the comparisons to Factorio, a game about automating tedious tasks, are undeserved.

Champion is also probably the second best defensive ascendancy in the game now. If you have enough phys reduction/endurance charges and use Loreweave + Transcendance + Imbalanced Guard you should be able to tank anything. I'm playing EQ Jugg with The Brass Dome and Transcendance and stand in ground effects all day with 5k life. Can recommend for a chill playstyle.

If you have an elder weapon with 2 good prefixes it's better to benchcraft "cannot roll attack modifiers" and augment an attack modifier for a 50/50 chance to get the bleed mod because GGG put in separate layers of tags for affixes for some reason.

Dance Officer posted:The path of mathh way has the same odds and costs, and you end up with a significantly better item. I have no idea what harvests crafts go for since I don't trade them but the "cannot roll attack modifiers" bench craft is only 1 ex and augment an attack mod is common. Also 1/2 is better odds than 1/3. The method you are talking about seems outdated since they added the attack tag to the bleed and poison mod for harvest purposes (but not metamod purposes)

i dont think ggg considers killing stuff the main point of the game though. "loot explosions" and inventory tetris seem to be at least as important i havent noticed any problems with bloom this league since i have it set to slight and because i have absolutely no expectations being able to see anything in combat anyway. this game has always had incompetent art direction
