Hopefully they make sloggy rares much less sloggy. There's nothing in this game that makes "strategic" long fights with rares feel rewarding(not talking about the loot). Especially when the rest of the game teaches you that monsters closing to melee range is a mistake.

Which one?

Lot of demand for it at this point in the league. It might drop in a few weeks if it follows the same trend as last league. But who knows with this botched start?

What does freedom of speech have to do with any of this?

Exactly, turn those streamers that sperg out on purpose on themselves. Their own viewer base would ensure Quin or Asmongold never play again.

Sounds like GGG needs a Gaming Weekend system.

I doubt Chris was directly involved with the banning. Some petulant streamer is banned via blanket company policy, do you keep him banned or backtrack it?

But the clear is still 1-2 setup, right? I'm trying to avoid that with Corpsewalker boots. And since that means Corpse Pact, I thought I'd throw on Kitava's Thirst and try to maximize cast speed from it.

Feel like I'm missing something. The only way I can get Lightning Conduit's mana cost above 100(for Kitava's Thirst) is with Archmage. It results in a build that pumps out 6M dps in absolute garbage gear. But I had to sacrifice a ton of defenses for it. Really feels like Aegis is required...

Imagine loot being so bad you can't even get banned for exploiting it.

Doubt the full story is being told. But kinda hard to care. That asshole tried to monetize a spreadsheet.

There is no logic, it's almost completely spiteful. I play this game to tool around in PoB and try out cool interactions and builds. GGG's overreliance on the economy providing a critical mass of esoteric items leads to mega juicers having far too much influence. For example, it was near end...

I can't opine on the changes yet. I got a late start and had to scrap my starter due to an incorrect assumption. I'm glad mega juicers are getting fucked too. I wouldn't be surprised if mega juicers in a functioning economy are actually good for us casuals. Either way, I hate it. Other...

In that regard, kiting and tossing, not much different than any other self cast ranged build, no? To be fair, I don't like those builds either. I posted a Toxic Rain Minder build earlier in this thread and then to my surprise, found that it does NOT target nearby monsters. I logged back onto...

The concept of totems, I don't mind. The delay is what I hate. Give mines another try. When it was meta, lots of idiots played it wrong, myself included. Minefield support got buffed in 3.17, mines feel great with it once you get some throwing speed.

3.19 is awesome, Empyrian's group quit. The economy is worst part of this game. It's obvious they will never willingly fix it, so self sabotage is all we have left. @Lightning Lord Rule y u no like miners?

Bubbles doesn't have an opinion.

D4 thread seeing more PoE activity than PoE thread on 3.19 launch weekend. I love this forum. Fyff, new season, come join us.

Did you look at the PoB I posted? How would Occultist be better? Honest question, looking for feedback. Profane Bloom while sacrificing a lot of move and throw speed was the conclusion I came to.

I think you're underestimating how expensive Brass Dome will be. No more cheap divines to fix the max resist roll. So double that, easily. Unbreakable forbidden jewels will likely be expensive as well. I'm betting there will be some tanky Chieftan builds that will convert most if not all of...

Thought this worth passing along. Turnback time applies to throwing extra mines and unleashing extra spells but NOT throwing extra traps. The part about it not applying to traps is in a discord screenshot with openarl.

Heist is not the only way to make money, if that's what you're insinuating. If, instead, you're referring to key uniques and gems that are Heist only...well, I believe that reinforces my previous post. As with any league start, I'd suggest playing a build that is SSF friendly.

Fuck Heist.

More human than human.

Why do you have a dog fetish?

Well, the mine only costs 1 mana, so you can still technically throw mines at max placed mines(18). I set the PoB to that number so I could be sure I wouldn't reserve more than 100% mana by throwing mines. You'll rarely ever be at 18 mines though, they detonate much faster than you can throw.

Quick, @Bubbles, what does reddit think of this change?

You can still go watch it. Not like there's much better to watch.

Arming time. I can't stand the delay. Same reason I won't play totems. I'll admit that perhaps I'm hyper sensitive about this. I can't stand the delay between using molten strike and the balls finally dropping and killing shit. I've made my decision to move onto the next pack before the current...

Eeww, aiming. The main reason I'm doing the same skill but with mines. Also, minefield is being slept on.

I generally make PoB's for myself, they aren't handholdy. But, to that end, this is what I term a "League Starter": Level 90, rare exceptions Rare gear has 3 T3 affixes and an open crafting affix Weapons and high demand(like ES shield and amulets) slots have 2 T3 affixes No uniques that are...

Refactoring other developer's (sloppy)code is one of the best parts of being a developer.

One league too late! Pre-nerf Brittle was the lazyman's CoC. Now you're going to have to work for it.

Fuck that, I'd never advocate 1-2 skills unless there was an overwhelming advantage. Automated corpse generation only. Normally, that would mean bow CoC, but that doesn't work here. Corpsewalker might be enough depending on area, but I'm betting Kitava's Thirst will be needed as well. I...

Yeah, I'll post it tonight. It needs a bit fine tuning. @ronne haven't seen anyone talking about making new corpses. Either way, this skill is going to lead to a lot of disappointed starts. Fucking amateur hour over on reddit.

I wouldn't worry, IcyHot is likely one of the to-be-revealed uniques. Still starting Toxic Rain Miner Trickster. Feels weird to be this set on a starter for at least a week now.

Arma brand has a large default AOE and most people pair it with ignite prolif to make that even larger. See Mathil's video this league or last for the serious deficiencies to a hit based arma brand. Storm brand might be even worse. Instant, but less coverage. Necro, steal elementalist node...

I am seeing a lot of people suggesting automating shocks with Storm Secret. Won't that require Storm's Gift as well? And something else to get HoT going initially?

Have you played brands since they made it return to its cast/recall location after detaching? Are you gem swapping chain for bosses?

Damn, I was hoping for a repeat of Absolution and Reaper starts to 3.15. Damage was looking fine, assuming you could reliably automate the shocks. Which is a lot easier said than done, so maybe the damage buffs are for the "intended" way of 1-2 playstyle *barf*. That said, you're still just...
