    But the rewards themselves from relic runs are tradeable. But, then you're dealing with player-driven economies, which is another discussion. I agree that the implementation of everything except the league mechanic itself is well done. Perhaps why my previous post wasn't that long. Not...

    I'm still having trouble finding the league mechanic fun. Rewards have to be there, but I'm not going to do something just because it's rewarding. Especially when the build demands are so disjointed from the regular game. This seems akin to deep delving or no-hit sanctum running, but perhaps...

    Hexblast is great for sanctum, assuming you play the crit version so that freeze chance is implicitly high.

    Sources of exposure do not stack. All sources of change to a target's resistance do stack.

    Path of Exile

    Yes. Automating exposure is usually the way to go. There are usually better conditional buttons to push. Assuming you're playing shockwave totems, exposure might not even be worth the effort given there is no easy singular source of fire and cold exposure.

    Before 3.21, I couldn't tell you why he prefers Slayer. But since then, Tainted Pact. To be fair, Jugg has various methods of obtaining "Slayer leech". But Slayer has the only way to boost maximum recovery(note, not per second). It essentially extends your leech to a duration comfortably...

    I measure my league starts not in divines, exalts, nor chaos, but rerolls. I think I'm on my 5th. So, I'm...succeeding? I actually went back to boneshatter. I stumbled upon Carn facetanking 2x shaper beams and shaper balls on the Tainted Pact Slayer version decided it was worth pushing...

    Didn't think a 5c unique would have corruptions that cost that much. You might be right on the gloves then. I'm much less versed on crafting that sort of thing.

    +5 gem levels, especially in a build that won't push overall gem levels, is ~60% more. Two 30% more supports(because that's what you're getting for Reap's 4th and 5th supports) is 69% more. Throw in the corruption, Vaal Caress wins. Throw in a double corrupt, it's even better. He usually has...

    What other type of builds are enabled or significantly enhanced by tattoos? For example, I would say warcry cooldown tattoos significantly enhance to almost enable Corrupting Cry. You can kinda sorta do it with Redblade Banner or Eternal Apple, but the build will never feel smoot for clear...

    https://pobb.in/pghZeKOVZzZN The issue with using those gloves is that it conflicts with Vaal Caress, which itself is BiS for your single target with a good corruption.

    Hey, you just copied Ruetoo ;) I found even at 1s, the cooldown on General's Cry was holding you back from feeling like you could go as fast as possible. Especially noticeable if you realize that other versions of this build, like KB CF, aren't hamstrung similarly. Efficacy would be a 5th...

    Those are fair points. Just bothers me. Sometimes the stragglers are things that should be killed, like a rare. Anyway, this is what I love about PoE. The guy that made Nimis is still figuring out builds for it 3 leagues later. Also kinda annoys me too. I explicitly looked into Eye of...

    No to ash, I'm doing pure phys impale. Yes to ancestral cry. The problem I have is kinda hard to put into words, but let me try again. You will explode a pack but not always. Sometimes there will be stragglers on the outer edges that got hit by 0-1 pulses. You are planning how you are going...

    Has anyone loaded up a melee build with tons of strike range tattoos? I've been trying out Boneshatter and I dislike how small the "bubble" of reliable clear is. Sure, indoors, you can get those nice pulse chains, but you cannot reliable on them. I'm wondering if slapping +20 strike range on...

    The only real abuse part of that is Sniper's Mark. GMP and Spell Echo act as straight multipliers the same as without return. How are you getting fork? Might be fun if it could be done on an ascendancy with actual defenses.

    Maybe I'm just picky. Maybe PoE has made me anxious. But getting into slog fights, which must have happened with just splitting steel and no return proj, makes me think I'm just baiting an eventual one shot. Move or die. Kill quick or die. Maybe I should try a build that can actually stand...

    Right, but I didn't want to play just any strike skill. I wanted to abuse returning projectiles and Splitting Steel seemed like the best candidate. I'll prioritize a new interesting character to play over a decent league start, especially given the previous league only lasted a month. That...

    Learn from my league start mistakes/experiences. By league start, I mean no uniques, 4L max, no expensive anoints, no benchcrafts that cost chaos, 2 T3 affixes on weapons, 3 T3 affixes on everything else. Basically, builds that you can reliably progress your atlas with no market interaction...

    I can see the rarity justified for a few drops. I don't think most breach drops need to be so rare that you can count the entire market on one hand.

    I'll give you EK is a better clear skill with Nimis. I've tested this with self-poison. Yes, EK placement is tighter but requires boss hugging. BF placement varies but on average will place more blades in target range than EK. Woke cascade furthers that gap. You get ~15 blade blasts on a...

    Battlemage volconus I haven't seen in a while. Most recent one I've seen is Marohi Erqi, usually on Shockwave Totems and some paper-thin defenses. All I'm saying is that once you divide that 135% by the standard dps support, it's pretty much the same as Battlemage(but one handed weapons...

    I've never seen more than two hits on a human sized target from cascade bladefall. Eater will probably get 3, maybe 4? But blade blast would be 9 easily, why not utilize it in a 4L? Woke cascade is another story. With enough less AoE, you can get close to 15 hits with bladefall. EDIT...
