I read the whole thing. Good job on the new thread!

Thinking I will do my usual static strike max block gladiator to start the new league. Tanky and cheap, and a good way to farm currency for whenever I end up trying a low life cast on crit scorching bear trap chaos storm saboteur, or whatever

Static strike looks solid, but I am personally leaning more towards sunder with those sweet new gems.

RT gladiator/berserker/jugg/raider sunder. That is my safe recommendation for the new league. That may change fast when patch notes arrive.

No, that makes too much sense. I'm gonna do crit frostbolt totems Inquisitor, because I am Dumb.

Axes with soultaker being the most obvious end game weapon with a shield like lioneyes. Though I think using rigwqlds sword and axe will be better in the long run. I respeced my gladiator on standard with the rigwald axe/sword combo and BoR and it was very good, running T16 maps without much problem, the guadian fights took a while longer than some of my other builds(but they are all getting nerfed hard). I used a legacy bor because thats what I had, but you can swap some stuff on the tree to get back up to max block with a non-legacy one.

The worst part about them removing eternals is the death of middle ground rare weapons on standard. You have 1 handed crit weapons that go up to around 300-350 dps, then boom strait up to 550 mirrored items with no gradual climb anymore. I miss that.

Okay, Berserker question:

If you cast Dark Pact with no minions, it costs 6% of maximum life. Does the 10% more damage taken node boost that to 16%, causing a Savage Hit and allowing for the 100% damage leech?

If so, I think I smell a meme build of a bunch of CWDT + Dark Pact set ups.

The skill doesn't do damage to you or your skeletons, it instead instantly removes life, so the skill does not work with Cast when Damage Taken and other self-damage setups and cannot be mitigated. Instead, the caster must use leech or other forms of life recovery to sustain their own life when used on themselves, or resummon their skeletons if they die.

A quick question to anyone who played the beta. Does the immolate support gem bonus damage apply to units that are burning but immune to ignite?

theshim posted:

From what I can tell they removed immunities on pretty much everything, except to Freeze.

I'm seriously tempted to pull out the old Hrimburn Vortex build again with all these new gems.

Its more for the ability to use immolation and ele focus in the same gem links, as long as you are hitting something that is being burned down by a SR totem.

Meridian posted:

Any suggestions for a build that does well self found? I haven't played in ages and don't understand the economy at all so figured I'd probably mostly just be playing by myself.

Any good spell is consistent start as you depend on spell levels over high damage weapons relative to attacking builds. That said there is an actual solo self found mode you can create characters in, it changes nothing except no trading. Not sure if thats what you intend to do, but the option is available.

Meridian posted:

I wasn't saying that I didn't plan to use it, just that I don't know enough to go on there and trade my way up d2jsp style.

Its pretty easy to buy/sell in leagues, especially the first month because there are so many people playing. A premium stash tab can also be a public stash tab, which you can use to set buyouts for items that get picked up through the trade api by poe.trade and other people search for an item, message you and buy the thing.

Using fg through d2jsp is something that can get you banned for real money trading, I don't recommend it.

Anyone got any opinions on the difference in survivability for a sunder build between gladiator (dual wield, alkazier's build) versus berserker abusing cloaked in savagery+vaal pact? I'm strongly considering one or the other, but I'd like to be able to scale it up to do guardians at least, if not shaper. Not sure how ridiculous of a weapon it'd take to have enough damage to do that.

Berserker leech is insanely good, but it depends on having lots of very fast hits relatively quickly and in a way that isn't easily interrupted by stuns or freeze. For attacks thats been cyclone for a while, while spells like blade vortex and firestorm do a great job as well. I don't think you can get enough consistent damage instances with sunder to reliably be immortal through leech, so when I make a sunder dude it will gladiator/juggernaut/raider(maybe champion if I am feeling hipster)

My goal is to get at least one character to 95. I always stop at 92/93 for the high end.

Storm Burst CWC Ball Lightning sounds mighty tempting, I love me some Ball Lightning.

I inclined to try this with with berserker in order to take advantage of ball lightnings lots of little hits in a short time and VP with 100% leech. I know dbk did a ball lightning build a few leagues ago and I want to pick his brain about it.

I am an idiot and can never get decent numbers in path of building, i feel like it would be strong but I am too dumb to configure everything correctly.

Edit: Hey blazer, what do you think about only having 1 guild stash tab for active gems and 1 for supports instead of 3 of each for each color? with the vendor in act 3 it seems like we could do something better with that space.

They would only really be used at the start of a league when people are buying other people gems before act 3, that and drop only gems, but those rarely get put in the stash anyway

level as sunder till you can have enough respecs to finish the lap around to VP at level 60/when you can wield Obliterations (I think)

you can snake your way through the scion area to VP while levelling as melee

save all your chaos to buy a corrupted 6L with your colors (try to get as much life as possible)

Since we have a lot of people returning after a while not playing the game here is a good thing to know.

Quality is not consumed when using a jeweler or fusing orb making 6s and 6l far more common than they were in patch 2.0

This will likely be the most people playing poe at any time by a wide wide margin. Even game updates without a massive playerbase at the time can go wrong, like the mtx rollout/rollback/rollout/rollback/rollout/chrisfuckedup/final rollout. I am not expecting things to hit the fan, but I won't be too surprised if they do.
