You'd also have to take recovery into account for that, but in general MoM is super weak against constant damage sources like dots and can put you in a real bind if you aren't actively prepared to remove them and instantly recover (e.g. mana potion on bind). I'd imagine if you invest into it...

I do, yes, especially in maps. If your build is good, the extra damage isn't necessary until way later in the game, and the life/resists you can roll on a chest give you many more options for gearing in other slots.

I bet they patch some of it this week, more of it in a couple of weeks.

Shit not just this planet, water is fuckin everywhere in the universe. Hydrogen and Oxygen are super abundant.

That 30% more elemental damage modifier on top of the two gem links is insanely rare. Two ways to craft it are with fossils and essence of horror, the former is more expensive but will give you a better chance, and the latter is slightly cheaper but will take many more attempts (probably). If...

After 3 or 4 moves (usually 3), the Abyss stops and a chest that's really hard to see pops out of the ground. That chest contains one Abyss jewel and a smattering of items. Rarely, after the third or fourth move, a door will open up into an Abyss cavern where you can either open a majiggy for...

No trap is considered an attack skill, they're all spells. Increased crit chance is as effective for traps as anything else.

Seems like a great QOL setup if you got the money for it, bet it would be great on Occultist.

They ain't got time to hit you if you do it right, it's super instant.

There's 150% inc duration on the tree for Brands, 90% from the usual suspects around Scion, 40% from the totem wheel between Templar and Marauder, and 20% from the Brand wheel above Assassin. Don't know why you wouldn't want to be in the middle of the pack to use it, it basically ensures all 5...

Shit I use Brand Recall on cooldown almost. Basically the best way to think about Brands are as totems that move, so you need to get into the mindset of frequently moving them - sometimes you will move them into an inefficient location, it's natural. Charging into a pack is a great time to hit...

I was like this in softcore too, though. Hit level 90, get bored with character, reroll. The 90-100 grind has 0 appeal to me, but I suspect this league I'll be able to make it to the mid 90s just trying to consume all the content.

Highest I've made it to was 92 in Incursion and Prophecy, but T16 maps many more times. I usually get level 90 and then go kill myself by doing something stupid because I want harder content than I'm ready for. That max block Gladiator in Prophecy was a baller though, I had to intentionally...

I've had a few escape from Transport missions (always just one), but I've killed all the rest of them.

How to kill Syndicate members without dying:

I didn't even think about this, but holy shit Brands just keep getting better:

Cyclone will Cyclone to the indicated destination, and you won't be able to change course until you hit that destination. Thus if your indicated destination is one step in front of you, it's much easier to respond to unexpected events. It's something that took me quite a bit of practice to...

This is me right now, if I log 12 hours of playtime this week I'll be highly impressed with myself. And probably very tired.

Tip for playing Cyclone: make sure you right click as close to your character as possible for greater mobility.

Good news on Delve:

Square burned their last bit of good will with me on FFXV, now I will only buy their games if people I trust give it a good review. This goes for both KH3 and FF7 remake which I've been looking forward to for like a decade.

Quality affects the chance of socketing and linking, so higher quality gives you a better chance at getting 6 sockets or 6 links. You can roll new sockets with Jeweler Orbs, and roll new links with Orbs of Fusing, until you hit 6 of either and then it won't let you roll again with those...

Where you'll make the most money is selling high ilvl base items to craft with, so the quality/rarity/sockets/affixes of any given dropped item is irrelevant compared to its base and ilvl. There are various ways to craft any given item, but unless you have a boatload of the specific currency...

Eh, if it was just a matter of going sideways I'd agree, but the sulphite costs and azurite gains are making it super difficult to do *anything* in Delve. In a month I'm sure it won't be much of a problem, but I'm level 77 now and have upgraded light radius twice. Will probably be level 85 by...

Yeah, I've done two trips into Delve this league, and it was awful. Hopefully they'll patch some things this week to make life easier, I think the only reason I can play hardcore this league is cause Storm Brands let me run the fuck away while they do damage. I don't see any way to viably deal...

It's meant to take some bit of currency to afford a non-Tabula unique 6L, unless you're going super hard on farming this past week or got super lucky, you shouldn't be able to have one by now. What I do is save up about 300 fusings, and link until I hit less than 150 fusings, and then stop at...

Yeah, I'm hoping this season was mostly setup for S4, seems like a lot of good threads to explore. But hopefully one of them isn't Goomer, man that dude is fucking creepy.

Should be able to find it in Delve, but I don't know if anyone has. The rest of the Vorici recipes are in Delve, anyway. You shouldn't use the recipe unless you have 1500 Vaal orbs to back it up for a corrupted chest, otherwise like 7 or 8 times out of 10 you lose fusings with the recipe.

Yeah I don't know why he went crit with very little gear investment to back it up, but I'll bet he gets there eventually. Dude is a beast. Storm Brand is great, really give it a shot if you like Arc Totems.

Another important difference here between the two videos: mine is a hardcore build. This means I've got a character with the bare minimum necessary investment in damage, and a whole shitload invested into staying alive. One major implication for this build is that it's only super effective...

Yes, it's unquestionably better clear speed than Arc totems. I cast less Brands than you do totems, my Brands get re-casted instantly, and the pack clear is phenomenal.

Well for starters, your video is 2 minutes longer.

Not the greatest example mind you, almost died a couple of times, but this is almost entirely self-found except the chest. Still, I dig the playstyle and there's a lot of room to grow, probably won't take it so cavalier until I get some currency under me. Character: View Profile - Path of...

Multiple totem support just let's you reach maximum DPS potential quicker -- theoretically a super-built Arc Totem character only needs 1 totem to clear a pack. It's the windup time that you cannot get around that makes totems an inherently slower playstyle. You can have all the totem...

If the comparison is between Arc Totems and Storm Brand, Storm Brand wins out in clear 100% of the time for me. I've had multiple Arc Totem characters over the leagues, including one in Incursion, none of them clear as fast and effortlessly as Storm Brand. That spinup time is rough. Now if...

He's using Wither as a setup and doesn't have the 30% cooldown reduction from Heirophant -- that cooldown reduction is HUGE for managing your Brands. EDIT: Oh, he does have the cooldown reduction, he's just wasting time using Wither.

Yes, Brand Recall is amazing, no need to keep placing totems with unavoidable spin-up time. Further, having 5/6 Brands fully attached in a pack is massive, massive synergy and will blow up just about anything with no investment. AND FURTHER STILL, Brands creep through a pack all on their own...

Why Occultist?

Eh, it's not a boss melter like other skills, but I'm certain it's more than enough damage to handle at least Shaper Guardians with proper investment. I dunno, we'll see how far I can take this character, but yeah ultimately I just want something cheap and effective for my first char, not top...

My plan is to farm T1-T5 maps to save up 50-70c for a Cloak of Defiance, and then slap it with the Jeweler's Touch prophecy I've got waiting in my stash.
