    Thought I'd share a couple PoB's I cooked up. I'm not promising anything special. I'm somewhat certain Arc will be initially popular(I have doubts about its endgame viability). But I'm not seeing anything for the best skill ever: Winter Orb. I try to make these as league start friendly as I...

    EK with the right supports, volley and slower proj, will cluster blades better than bladefall. But it's still shitty to play since you can't aim your blades, they linger at a set distance from you based on proj speed. So you can only "rotate" them. I was getting decent dps with a typical...

    Hmmm, Winter Orb spits out projectiles 25% faster while channeling. Wonder if that's worth revisiting. Been far too long since I played a build with shatters. Gonna shelve Blade Blast though. I can't get a league start PoB without ass DPS. Might be a good second build of the league however.

    Interesting. Though, on the flipside, Elementalist with Unnatural Strength might be better than a Necro with Liege of the Primordial.

    I forgot to add ignite. You have to go Elementalist for the golem refresh. I don't know of any builds playing Maw of Mischief for it's hit damage. The more established build uses HoP sentinels and Storm Brand for I think comparable but still less DPS. They specifically nerfed that build last...

    0.8s cast time is fucking slow. There's a reason most exsanguinate builds cheat the cast time. I'm thinking generic Armageddon brand elementalist into maw of mischief stone golem.

    Definitely not using that, this patch nor the next. And yeah, slower proj will make clearing worse. I don't have a problem with gem swapping as long as it's only necessary for endgame bosses. I don't want lingering blades placement to be so bad with clearing gems that you can't even kill map...

    Anyone used EK with Blade Blast? Mechanics wise, nothing much is changing but it has some advantages over Bladefall. You can use Unleash and Spell Echo for comparable lingering blade output. Bladefall can't use both without wasting a ton of lingering blades. With the changes to Blade Blast's...

    The manifest says: "Here is a selection of some of the skills that have been updated. The full list will be included in the patch notes." We don't have confirmation the manifesto was complete. I wouldn't be surprised if Exsanguinate wasn't touched. Or they don't touch the hit portion but buff...

    Yes, on Wintertide, the theoretical max is 4x the dot of one brand. The realistic dps? I'm not sure, the math on that one is kinda wonky and the build has never really proven itself interesting enough in dps and clear to really investigate it. I'd advise against Lightning Arrow unless those...

    Explode corpses, burn shit. Depends what they do to Exsanguinate. It's not a strict hit skill, so who know. Did any hybrid skill besides Fire Trap get explicitly mentioned? Trap version probably still better in longer investment if you're not picky about trap arming time delay. If you go...

    @Caeden Development Manifesto - Game Balance in Siege of the Atlas - Forum - Path of Exile Clearing with cone-shaped EK sounds like aids at first thought. If you slap pierce/fork/chain on EK....where do the blades stick? More projectiles mean wider arc for EK? Anomalous EK - GMP - Greater...

    Path of Exile

    Fair enough on the EK, I hadn't considered that. What are you going to use for clearing in that setup though? I'm not sold that you can realistically scale AOE to get BB to non-pathetic levels. IIRC, it was +4 to radius from gem levels at level 21 and they took another 4 for good effect...

    Buffing the spells that put blades in the ground does nothing to address the harsh nerfs to blade blast's AOE.

    I assumed that's what it was. That would be fucking annoying if you had to cast Desecrate ~15 times just to get your ape spectres back. The damage did get nerfed, but it will still be ridiculous. It needs a Discharge-like modifier(which didn't get compensation either...). It's still an aidsy...

    No projectile compensation on those skills seems weird. There's a guy that's playing fireball and rolling magma as self cast builds with Necro and Kitava's Thirst helm. That build will be even better, assuming your GPU can survive the VD churn required to boost your cast speed. Crackling...

    Some thoughts: lol at Absolution getting a buff. I'm pretty sure this straight affects the spell the 3 buddies cast. In this context, minions are a cheat to self cast just like mines, totems, traps, and coc. Pretty sure that will be a banger league starter that will scale well beyond as...
