It puts commander of darkness into line with other team member damage boosts from items or ascendancy and there were a lot of things you didn't think would count as auras but did, I'm all for not making it feel mandatory to have a player be a glorified buffbot.

I'll probably try the berserker righteous fire since I wanted to go RF but couldn't decide on what ascendancy to go with it, SRS seems like it's going to be too popular. I suspect that lightning builds with new skills will be found out to be actually amazing once you break certain thresholds with them.

For a righteous fire build, I'm thinking of either going with Scion with this build https://pastebin.com/qnRi8cnC or Juggernaut with this build https://pastebin.com/pB7pHR5Y With Scion, it would be pathfinder/trickster to keep life regen up and with juggs would be endurance charges. I've been gone from the game for ages, anyone able to help me figure out the pro/cons of the different ascendancy?

Katasi posted:Based on GGG's previous design choices, I would guess that next time they update the atlas, they will add the new bosses to the top tier maps. They've said a number of times that their biggest thing is clever re-use of content, so it seems kind of inevitable. I heard a rumor that they're updating the atlas in 3.1, so that would be about 3 months from now. I'm looking forward to tier 16+ Emperor Avarius fight.

Pastry Mistakes posted:So one of the things that pushed me away from PoE when I first started playing it way back when is the fact that it seems a bit merciless in class progression. God forbid you gently caress up with your passive skills because you're really not going to get a chance to undo everything. You get around 20 respec points from quests, how bad can you gently caress up your character that you can't fix it with that?

J posted:If you were thinking about trying out that new cold damage axe debeon's dirge, buy it now because mathil just made a video outlining his next build which is going to be using it for charged dash or cyclone. Prices on it are probably already on their way up from speculators. I gave it a try a few days ago because it was the cheapest weapon with decent damage available, I think with a build designed around it it could have lots of potential with the warcry superbuffing your damage, but the price is already showing 3-5c as the floor where yesterday it was 1c for pages. I have to imagine at this point the streamers know their market manipulation effects and buy up like 30 of the items on a alt account before announcing their build revolving around it.

Of the various scorching ray/righteous fire builds going around, which would you say is the "best" ascendancy class for it? Berserk for 40% more damage good attack speed and warcrys replacing the need for life flasks? Chieftain for the highest health regen stacking endurance charges and 10% more strength for using Doon Cuebiyari? Inquisitor for consecrated ground bonuses and more attack/cast speed while moving around and easy MoM access? Guardian? though I know less about it.

My only complaints with the game right now off the top are my head: More stash tabs should be visible without the need to scroll sideways, 10% chance for a single breach in a map should be upped to a chance for 1-3 breachs, too many things are turned into one-of's and breach uniques had a lot of build variety. Master rotations need to be a thing of the past and unnecessary to hit level 7 on them soloing. GGG has been really good at fixing most of the more annoying or problem parts of the game and I can forgive most of what's bad or done poorly about act 5-10 just because I'll never ever have to repeat a act two more times per character after I do them.

Noper Q posted:Does anyone have a good Wild Strike build? I looked around a bit, but I only saw 2.6 guides, and I don't know what's still good in melee since I usually run casters. I was following a bit of this wild strike guide https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1867849/page/1 Wildstrike is a surprisingly good skill and this is also the first time I've gone berserker with vaal pact and cloaked in savagery has to be the most broken ascendancy point in the game, so long as you have something to hit and don't die to a one shot your healthbar will keep jumping from 1% to 100% every swing. Wildstrike single target damage is rather good and with 100% pierce and multiple chains baseline even unlinked to anything it can clear a pack in a swing, only complaint so far is the complaint I'd have with any namelock or multi-strike skill in that without lots and lots of attack speed it feels pretty bad to use because of how it locks you out of any other action until you finish swinging 3 times.

Close helms seem rather hard to actually find as drops or merchant items to chance for a 200c the baron to sell. Speaking of selling, I've found anything with high life is flying off the shelves, twice the demand for life items to fill with all but the most dedicated abandoning CI builds.

I will say that the normal and cruel labyrinths give really good loot now for how fast and easy they are now, the guy getting a mirror from cruel lab is definitely on the top end of labyrinth loot, but on the lower end you still get lots of currency and rare jewels that could potentially be worth a lot with 3+ mods that work together.

ronya posted:so today I picked up Cloaked in Savagery on my vaal pact berserker. never played a berserker before In the same boat as you, screw having to kite or manage large groups or worry about being worn down by tons of small attacks at all once, just have your health jump from 1% to 100% every nanosecond. I feel it's by far the strongest ascendancy point in the game and it's the same class that has a 40% more damage node. It turns the game into what D3 was before it's expansion that removed lifesteal because if anything didn't 1 shot you your health would just jump from 1% to 100%.

Brine king, Araakali, Solaris and Lunaris were exciting fights with plenty of things going on and to avoid without any major none-telegraphed one shots, but enough 90% shots and adds to refill potions to make it exciting. The trio and some of the mini boss fights leading up to them were a little underwhelming but it was a interesting looking monster with some call-back attacks. Kitava reminds me too much of Belial from diablo 3 for me to like him much. On another note, Oriath has a top notch cleanup crew if the place goes from burnt out bloody hellhole with mountains of corpses to a pristine spotless city literally 10 seconds after you beat up Kitava.

Couple of questions for those who know the mechanics of the game better. How does Ruthless and Multistrike interact, will it do the damage at the end of the 3rd multi strike hit, or after the third separate use of the skill? Does the soul of Ralakesh -25% physical damage over time taken effect labyrinth traps?

Here is a question, how do you decide when your current character is ready for Uber atziri or shaper? what are the benchmarks or what content can you throw yourself at to feel like "ok I'm ready and frankly overgeared for it" I don't know how hard they hit with basic unavoidable attacks or if they crit so I don't know how much life is necessary to not get immediately one shot.
