Traps with 0 duration are fine, you don't have to deal with arming time. Similarly, don't play mines with Minefield support, it's horridly slow. Also, don't play mines like you care about chaining detonation, takes too much attention. I went with mines because you can get a Tremor Rod and...

No required uniques, but I think Tremor Rod and Kaom's Heart will go a long way towards making the overall power level of the build feel better. Machina Mitts help a lot too since Exsanguinate will be cutting into your Sabo regen. I do starter PoBs a bit differently, just filling into slots...

I was toying around with Tremor Rod and Kaom's Heart instead of wand, shield, and corrupted tabula. Damage is a bit better on the former, obviously HP is much better, and I might be underestimating how much a good 3 T3 affix wand and shield cost. Either way, damage will drop off basically due...

Been playing Exsanguinate Mines. I would recommend, especially as a starter as it sidesteps most of the mana issues since it spends and reserves life. I must apologize to @dizzie, I was too harsh on Tremor Rod earlier. I think was assuming if you used Tremor Rod, you had to use Minefield and...

I think they are depending on you buying currency off the midget.

What's in the main links then?

After playing around with Forbidden Rite, I'll say that I doubt it gets nerfed even though the +proj behavior is unintuitive. You definitely need to scale some AOE to ensure overlap. And without some proj speed, the clear is just average. The projectiles don't split, btw. I did see a couple...

Load up PoB, try to scale cast speed...

Come play and abuse this before it's patched. Everyone is distracted by the nerfs.

The irony of totem cast speed is so slow that they can't kill themselves before being replaced. Totems take reduced damage?

@ronne To answer your other questions on cluster, I think you have to go to totem mediums. No other way to cap your totem's chaos res. I still think Necro is the only way to play this skill with any sort of appreciable speed. Cast speed got gutted way harder than attack speed.

The spread on the main projectiles is such that they aren't guaranteed to overlap on a humanoid target?

lolwut? How the fuck did the skill get released in that state? This makes me suspicious that Sniper's Mark will split one of the projectiles for 4 extra hits, like Blazing Salvo.

Bind it to left click. Don't bother with chain explosions except on bosses. And even then, play high-impact mines, where the "chain" is just a bunch of mines built up. I agree that timing explosions from blastchain or the prebuilt mine skills is poorly supported in this game.

Sunblast and 2 Cheap Construction will solve that clunk. Or switching to mines. As for squishy, I'm going to try staves and Kaom's Heart. Not really sure how far the build will go.

The "Why are you still playing the skills?" trifecta MTX. https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3151846

How so? Am I missing something? It looks like a glass cannon that still has to precurse everything while clearing.

Rhoas fucking you up in the mud flats was the only added difficulty. And that was likely the evasion rating nerf.

Holy Relic can definitely scale to a silly degree. It's kinda like dom blow. Dom blow clears faster with feeding frenzy, but you don't have the downside of trying to tickle your sentinels out of the boss. I wonder if Cyclone feels comparatively less sluggish now. SST *feels* like tossing a...

Anyone play a miner trapper? As in, you throw mines, the mines throw traps, which then casts the spell you want. It's sounds like a meme and I'm not fully convinced it's not yet. But you get to take advantage of some of the best mine and trap nodes at the same time, as well as double dipping...

Walk me through Rog, I can't spot items from him that are worthwhile. What are they walking back? Nevermind, read right over it...

Also probably means Firebat is never coming back to Hearthstone.

Oh, is this why Kripp is doing a week long PoE stream?

That's not fair. I doubt they have 3080's in NZ yet.

You use manastorm and put manabond in Mjolner. Use a foreboding mana flask to constantly proc manastorm. Not my idea, not interested in the idea as the build seems to have a weakness on bosses with flask charges.

Spectral Helix looks slow as fuck unless it scales heavily with projectile speed. If there was some way to totem/trap/mine/THROW it, that would be great. You can't even General's Cry it.

Tagging @Byr since he responded to me as well. By "straight up murdered", I mean exactly that. Spellslinger is mechanically unplayable in 99% of the current builds. I can think of one build, Mathil's Ele Hit wander from last league, where he used Spellslinger to cast Hydrosphere and Sniper's...

Is there discrete/functional/financial/whatever reason to distance yourself from a bank? Or is this mainly an ideological thing?

People shouldn't be pushed to play new builds because their favorites have been straight up murdered. Spellslinger complaints are valid. CoC likely too. Stole from Zizaran? He explicitly shares builds, how is that stealing? There's definitely stuff to be mad about in this patch and the...

If Quin quits PoE because of this patch, I'll buy the expensive supporter pack. I have no reason to believe he will, just saying the game will be better without him.

Atlas grind is indeed a problem. And that's not just a casual player sentiment. Where certain players decided "this is too much" might differ, but even streamers have been commonly griping about it since Maven passives were added.

A grand show of debauchery that ends up being a facade and all parties involved claim everyone else is trolling?

Considering the recent lawsuit, J. Allen Brack might be looking for a new job soon!

It was mainly meant as a flippant remark to encourage Lyrical to post. I don't know if this is the thread for diving into declining user base.

Mind posting your PoB? This is what I have so far. @ronne Let me know if you can get them above 3 casts per second.

Why wouldn't it? They showed it doing that in the video.

What was the replacement available for cold dots? Also, lots of people conveniently forgetting cold dot lost bonechill. All those words aren't making me feel better about my builds in pob. I update them and there's just too many holes to patch. SST has good DPS and ehp, but chugs mana. Traps...

Sure, but I don't want to be using that come endgame. The UI sucks for flask management. I want to pay attention to the fight. Also, charges.

I'll go first: 6L corrupted blood builds are dead. Mana cost multipliers increasing and Lifetap jumping to 300%(fucking why?!?!) killed the build. 4L was a waste of sockets. 6L with a decent amount of investment was just a thing of beauty. The mechanics of a global on-hit dot hadn't really...

PoB has been updated, cry over butchered DPS. Some builds, like SST, will have to spare some points for mana recovery. Could use lifetap, but damn, I don't want to pay 120+ life for something with 4.5 APS.
