I've honestly never likes Traps or Mines as a mechanic either. The mechanics are parasitic, you're basically forced to play the 1 ascendancy to use them at all since you can't leech off them. On top of that they don't trigger EO so going crit is basically mandatory as well, which further reduces...

Tranquility looks absurdly broken if it also applies to Energy Shield from INT.

Managed to finally kill Shaper and uber-Atziri this league on HC, first time I've ever managed that. Died to a disconnect of all things before I could attempt uber Elder, but the STR-stacking build with Martyr of Innocence really paid off this time.

Wieldhit, his guild is Level Stream. I think most of them really are his alts.

Xegony/Druzzil Ro

I resubbed to try this again and managed to inadvertently step into nuclear-level drama twice in one week. Is the entire game like this now? A couple hours after I resubbed someone offered to help me get me some gear in GMM. He invited me to his guild and I did a few missions with him. Nothing...

Life is just a cushion for extra EHP, you have 0.4% leech from the Shadow node that will heal it up from random chaos hits. Hybrid also lets you use the new Sorrow of the Divine/Forbidden Taste to (maybe, it's new so dunno if it actually works) full heal your entire energy shield instantly. You...

This is 134/123 skill points, but I get the point. You've got about 500 more STR than my build, but I think that's because I built around gearing realities in hardcore. I knew about Might of the Meek with the Templar/Marauder starts for example but that jewel is typically a half dozen exalts in...

I'm actually wondering if my idea of the build is way different than yours, I find the DEX nodes to in general be way more concentrated around the jewel sockets than the INT ones. The jewel by Ranger has 80 DEX if you come in from the left, the one by Shadow has 70. You don't get that much...

I took Unwavering Stance, I know you said you don't like it but I'm not planning to wear evasion gear so I don't see why not. Right side of the tree has frenzy charges, life/ES nodes, and really concentrated stat nodes next to really good notables. The area with the Aspect clusters and Force of...

I like Ascendant over regular Chieftain because the rest of Chieftain after Ramako/Hinekora is really meh. The increased life recovery on Tasalio might not even work with energy shield. Scion gives frenzy charge generation, free onslaught, and access to the right side of the tree while still...

I wonder if Efficient Training works on the 8% increased intelligence on Utmost Intellect. Was thinking of doing Scion with Chieftain + Raider to get both clusters.

I'm surprised that this alone can make the item as common as it is. It was a 1c unique in Synthesis SC with pages and pages of the. Even in SHC it was only 15-20c. I wanted to try a BLS build this league but this makes me antsy, would hate to hit level 70 only to discover the item basically...

Does anyone know what the deal is with Brutus' Lead Sprinkler? Where does this drop? Wiki says it's a Torment league exclusive but it shows up in leagues that don't have Torment on the map device. Where is this dropping/getting chanced?

You use those unique gloves that give you 6-link Blight for free, they even have DoT/AoE bonuses on them to synergize with Soulrend.

I can see how on SC the low DPS would turn people off mana Guardian but it's pretty popular on HC. Memory Vault was already going for 2-3 exalts on HC in Synthesis league.

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2509916 I'm honestly not sure what you mean about memory vault working against MoM, CI characters get no benefit from MoM anyways. This character will want to put the new node conversion jewel in the jewel slot next to Quick Recovery in order to...

You run CI mana guardian with the new modified keystone that gives you armor equal to double your maximum mana. So you now have around 60k armor and can CWDT a 12k damage absorb shield on a short CD, and that's on top of a >20k energy shield pool. Shove Incandescent Heart in there and I don't...

I also doubt they're nerfing trickster, as that ascendancy has basically no synergy with any of the new stuff that's been revealed. I'm wondering if Memory Vault is going to cost double digits in exalts on HC this time around, due to what that lets you do with the new Molten Shell.

Infinitely worse is when people refer to their pets as their "fur babies."

Mage just literally killed me on turn 2. Coined out mana addict on turn 1 and then turn 2 dropped sorcerer's apprentice followed by arcane missiles, 5x magic trick, mirror image, elemental invocation, mana cyclone for free, arcane missiles, mirror image, mirror image, shooting star. Technically...

Well, we thought infinite value meta was dead, but it just got worse. I literally just played three Rogue decks featuring Tess, double Academic Espionage, double Togwaggle Scheme, and Tak Nozwhisker. This was at Rank 4. Then there was two Hunter decks based around dropping Vicious Scalehide...

Can someone explain to me what about bomb Warrior actually makes it good relative to regular control Warrior with the dragons? What do the bombs give you inevitability against that you didn't have anyway? It really seems to me you're playing a bunch of bad cards that do basically nothing just to...

Spark used to have no cooldown on how many times it could hit a target and it could travel as far as its duration would allow, so you could clear several screens away and murder shit by bouncing the sparks off walls.

Since the memories appear to scale to your level regardless of when you obtained them, is there anything that prevents people from just farming low level zones for memories and then doing the nexus as the entire endgame?

The primordial jewels you need are fairly rare and thus expensive.

Just do Doon Cuebiyari + Shaper's Touch on a Hierophant and use whatever spell you want. That way STR gives you damage, mana, and ES so it's not a wasted stat.

Attractive women put 0 effort into their profiles because they don't have to.

50-75c would be way too expensive to use in a guardian since you'll occasionally lose it. But under 10 and it's definitely viable.

How rare of a unique is Kingmaker? If you put it in an Animated Guardian you get free cull and fortify.

I did this league and it seemed to help, apparently they do have curse reduction, this was not easy to find with Google I had to try several times.

Enfeeble/Temp Chains going to half effectiveness on Syndicate encounters is hilarious though. That was the only reasonable way to make their damage survivable. Not looking forward to having to auto abandon every map that spawns them on HC.

Vinktar's provides 20% leech. If you hit for 250k damage with it, you get a 50k pool leech instance that restores 2% of your max life per second until the pool is exhausted. With 5k life, this instance lasts 50,000/100 = 500 seconds. Hit 10 mobs and you have 20% "regen" (40% with Vaal Pact) for...

They might overlook having Bane still apply curses linked to it even if Blasphemy is also linked, which normally wouldn't be a problem because that's two supports wasted, but Doedre's Skin has Blasphemy built in and ignores curse limit so you might be able to 5-curse Bane with it while ignoring...

You mean like it would project the AoE from the totem, or that Bane would just apply all the curses without regard to the curse limit and ignore the Blasphemy support?

Occultist is definitely better overall but ES/CI builds are not good league starters.

I'd do Herald of Agony Jugg, no skill gets the DPS HoA does for basically 0 investment in damage. You can get a half million DPS out of it with a 5 link and only the minion wheel in the top left, all other points can be spent on life/defense.

If you find an item on trade where the person clearly did not read the mods and thus put a multiple exalt item up for a few chaos, is it considered rude to tell them about it after you buy it?

Syndicate Mastermind just one shot my mana Guardian. I still don't know WTF happened. 14k ES, Fortify, 25k armor, and Incandescent Heart/CI combo and the second of the reanimated Syndicate members in the encounter (I think it was Hillock) leap slammed across the room and killed me from full ES...

Yes, but make sure you do a guardian adjacent to the influence first. If you do the green one next it can't spread there and will mess it up. Edit: Bottom right is already elder influenced, don't do that one again.
