hello, I've been enjoying this league but I feel like I'm up shits creek with a build right now in softcore. someone turned me on to an inquisitor elemental crit wander build, but I'm having serious mana and boss problems when I am not criting/shattering mobs and also my single dps is just poo poo. what links should I be running with kinetic blast and barrage too? right now I've ascended once and got Righteous Providence.

I want to try out a summoner with Necromantic Aegis. Anyone have any suggestions or ideas besides Victario's Charity?

Vasudus posted:I did a skelemage necromancer this league that was really quite good. I used a spell damage / cast speed shield and it was probably a solid 30% damage boost on my mages. It was also dirt cheap because you just want spellpower and cast speed, everything else is completely irrelevant; I got a lovely one with no resistances, no bonus es, no life with T2 cast speed and T2 spellpower for like 10c early in the league.

Vasudus posted:It depends on how you build it. You've got a few options: I dunno why, but I always come back to wanting to make a summoner or necromancer. I'm hoping 3.1 brings some small changes for summoners since there seems to be a long list of stuff summoners have been bothered by for years.

Do any of the buff/UI changes mean I can tell how long my Offering durations will last? Even if no, any UI improvements/changes are welcomed because it's probably one step closer.

I thought you had to place your cursor on/near the corpses to cast Volatile. Also my idea is grabbing Ancestral Bond for +1 totems. My plan is to throw out corpses like a crazy man and have enough totems to keep up with them. I really just want to see how many orbs I can fill my screen with

Fenris13 posted:If you use Ancestral Bond to create two VD casting totems, you loose out on Cascade, but you no longer have to worry about targeting. You can supplement your totems with self creating corpses, ideally with spell echo-cascade-desecrate, generating 30 corpses at once then having the freedom to be mobile for a few seconds while desecrate is on cooldown may be strong, or it may be better just to self cast unearth. Needs some testing.

Mr E posted:I started w/ Baron SRS witch but I got the Baron hat as a drop and even w/o it was only 1c at the beginning of the league. It's pretty fun but Volatile Dead might be better? My Volatile Totems Chieftain has been a blast this league. It really avoids having to micro manage the targeting of corpses. Zmej fucked around with this message at 20:07 on Jan 19, 2018 |

The newer/fancy boss fights was one of my favorite parts of 3.0. That and the smoothed out leveling experience made this game go from something I tried and got bored/fed-up with easily for the last year into something I play pretty heavily now. Sidenote: I know everyone keeps saying cremation is a supplemental skill or meh, but I'll do my damnest to make something that uses it as a primary next league. And/or bodyswap.

I made a quick and dirty magma orb dead eye tree but it feels pretty lacking in defense and the damage calculation seems inaccurate for the extra chain damage. Anyone else thrown one together?

Filthy Monkey posted:Here are my opinions, from looking at builds, playing my own, and running a bunch of PoB numbers. So is this all in regards to poet's pen VD and bodyswap? I want to try a cremation and bodyswap build, with maybe the cremation enchant for +1 geyser? Seems like it would be great for boss murdering, and might just swap in VD for map clear. Or is VD just THAT good and seems to clear and kill bosses?

I was gonna do PP Lightning Warp/Arc but decided I'm too poor to afford the en vogue lightning gear. I'm gonna do Dark Pact/Skele PP and use Cherubim's. I tried gearing Perfect Form but I'm like 100+ Dex short so I think pathing down to Phase Acro is worth it, paired with MoM. Seems like with a gloomfang for the +1 chain it should be respectable. It's not gonna zoom around like LW or Body Swap in PP, but maybe it will be worth putting in body swap/unearth while clearing and simply weapon swap to another PP with Skellies+Minion life+Empower for bosses?

I think no one is gonna touch scourge arrow for a bit because 1) caustic arrow and toxic rain have flat degens that make it easy to start with early league and scale, 2) ggg already announced a mid-leage adjustment (something about gmp working on the first shot, spores will spawn between them, and more front loader damage). People said it's clear is the problem but I'm gonna fiddle with a scourge arrow heiro. I think that will solve it's weak points. Pob makes it hard to judge the dps so I'm going in totally blind.

Xeras posted:I have wanted to play Volatile Dead so badly but have a strange refusal to use Poet's Pens. The only build I could find for VD totems on poeninja is this and it actually looks pretty great. Anyone with actual knowledge of this type of build have any suggestions before I hop into this? The cast speed VD Enchant is usually dirt cheap, so it helps this build a lot. I don't like self-flag, soul mantle, kikazaru. You're sacrificing defense with those ring and chest slots.

I've been trying to scheme up something slightly more engaging with soulwrest. Like amped up proj weakness with occultist and cremation but knock back seems like a bad idea in delves

I also love cremation but found it hard to use outside of bosses so I think soulwrest can cover its weak spots so I'm really interested to see how that occultist pans out

Yea, I've been feeling that delves are tedious, but I realized now as I'm pushing lvl 270 that the diversity kinda sucks leading up to it. I like making pitstops with flares, but I hate searching for hidden paths because it might mean backtracking and going around. I don't miss the whole "my temple is lovely so just gotta push for the reset". I find it more interesting how Incursion had such poor player retention.

When I ran howa CI hiero totems last league I used the all unique version that cost me 2 ex. I used a rare 6L chest. You don't get the excellent ele damage reduction of incadescent but you can decide where you want to sink your one big purchase. Need more damage, go for the helm enchant. If you want more defenses, go for the 6L incadescent. You will find it does plenty damage and defense without these perfect gear. Use your left over money to experiment with this build and make it your own.

Crafting has been fun with fossils. The only thing I really went ham on was a helmet and abyss jewels. I definitely saved some exalts by crafting jewels.

yea, I'm running back-to-back shaped wastepool to go on what seems like a short delve runs at depth 415. I just want to find an Aul but it's getting a little frustrating. I keep on finding that rear end in a top hat architect I don't enjoy the fight because half of the attacks I can barely see or tell where they are gonna land. Also gently caress the degen or whatever on the ground that's barely noticeable.

whypick1 posted:What does Ice Golem have over the others in this setup? from second-hand experience, fire golems' have ranged and melee attacks and you want just the ranged, so you get dps drops when they decide to melee. ice golems with the new amulet that has a poo poo ton of movespeed lets them rocket across the screen killing everything and seems like they do good single target. I think the new accuracy gloves and nodes for minions enabled them too.

I'm just plinking away at my delve hoping to find an Aul or I shell out some dosh for my last challenge to hit 24. I'm delving at about 420 but all I get is loving vaal bosses. Also, does anyone understand what the mechanics/damage types of the rare in the biggest azurite node challange does? It shoots the slow moving black/purple eyeballs and seems to spawn darkness around him?

Ledif posted:e: I also got lucky and found an Aul after a lot of searching, so I didn't have to buy that one. I also am maybe misreading what you're saying - I assumed initially that you were going to buy the Aul kill but it sounds like you're just buying any challenge. If that's the case then feel free to ignore my probably useless advice. lol that's ok. I appreciate knowing how much an Aul kill is. honestly, I'd just like have the experience of doing it and feeling some sense of "hey my builds panned out just fine". I don't wanna jump on the "gently caress ggg and aul spawn rate" but it is annoying at this point and the league has definitely run it's course for my enjoyment.

I like having an idea, then seeing what's been done before and then use that as a base and I end up making it into my own thing since I've only been playing seriously for a year-ish.
