Hmm, PoB mock up has my tidebreaker setup at 350k shaper dps, 142k avg hit, with flasks up and endurance charges and bleeding and 60k dps on an effective 4link cyclone (5th = inc aoe). 5700ish life. Wonder if those 140k hits are enough to actually stun things that matter...

Last lowlife char I played had 6.5k ES and that was before the ES nerfs, lul.

Only thing I can think of without going through the patch notes myself is that GC was maybe using stat sticks since it is phys damage and now that's gone?

Eh, it would be as a slayer/jugg scion using probably loreweave. I guess I did play cyclone a while back and didn't mind the clear too much without empire grasp so I guess it can't be worse. Might do this first instead of the storm call char. Tidebreaker heavystrike stun for bosses and...

Also heavy strike! I think I saw tidebreaker got a buff in the patch notes. I wonder what I could use for a clear skill if I decide to try that boss stun build out this league... Edit: Actually, Cons path would probably be a good clear skill for it. Hmm, nvm, i'd want something that doesn't...

It should, just like wand or dagger ele damage mods work on spells.

I really hate the week before new league starts cause I start jonesing to play hard. Even worse cause I have to go to work right after leagues open on Fridays.

Maybe I am wrong and whirling blades will still feel good on melee builds but it never felt even close to being the same speed on a melee build vs a caster with a dagger that had an aspd roll on it to me, and that chart seems to imply it was actually faster being a caster with an aspd Kris than...

I dunno about traps but I played a fire nova mine saboteur for my first char in delve and he was not very squishy at all for 99% of content. Only things that 1shot him were things that 1shot basically any chars anyways. You get tons of regen and should be able to get 6k life or so pretty...

Right but for something like a melee build where you want a 1.8+ aps weapon (my claw in beastiary was like 1.95 or something, it had 2 phys mods, t1 cold dmg, crit chance/multi/aspd) you're gonna be retardedly slower whirling around... Reave/flurry is definitely dead between losing a huge chunk...

Am I right in assuming a 2aps weapon would have a 1.1s whirling blade time, tho (would feel like total ass)? I guess they really dislike people using movement skills.

Grelwood Shank now has 185-215% (up from 170-190%) increased Physical Damage. Existing versions can be updated to these new values with a Divine Orb. There's a little bit of extra damage for MS. Sadima's Touch now increases the quantity of items found from slain enemies by 5-10% (down from...

Whirling Blades Now uses weapon attack time +0.6 seconds, rather than overriding your base attack time. While base weapon speed will have some effect, this change is intended to reduce the travel speed difference between characters using weapons local attack speed modifiers and characters who...

Wat? Is there even a single molten strike build out there that used stat sticks?

Mathil did a spark char too and has a vid or 2 of it.

Yes but could you shit on him with a 300dps claw that has 7% crit and no stat stick to boost your damage? My damage was acceptable with a damn good claw and a decent stat stick but only acceptable, nowhere near fantastic.

Hence why I said other than a couple builds that can use cheap uniques?

What weapon other than a couple builds that can use a cheap unique (ie builds that actually use rares) can do end-game content with a shit-tier rare weapon. My BV/Flurry char in beastiary used a claw that was worth about 10ex and it was decent but as I said before even with that and a decent...

Yeah the playstyle isn't the smoothest but the skill is (and has been for a long time) top tier in terms of power.

Yeah, it'll be great needing 2 weapons that cost 10ex to 1 mirror each instead of just 1! Lol. Dancing duo makes BV look like a "sad joke". Nice meme.

Lul rip 1h builds. Flurry with a stat stick was just too strong, BV with 2 stat sticks is just the right amount of balance tho!

I hope for the future of mankind that it doesn't work out.

Meh lost fantasy football, was up 33 going against Rivers and Allen. Fucking Goff got me 8 points >_<. How did the Saints only score 10 this week? Did Brees die before the game?

Or he's coming out as a tranny and joining the female MMA ranks?

So for the last game I had 2-4 executors and 1-3 shock towers at all of my walls/chokes and 3+ layers deep of the upgraded spike traps, along with like 50 soldiers. Not a single side of my base held for more than 10seconds or came close to clearing the ones from that side (did great vs the...

Lol, played a bunch more games, got to day 80 once and had a ton of early fails/restarts cause I couldn't get a decent start set up. Just made it to the last horde on one finally and.... didn't even come close to actually winning. Really didn't want to have to look up optimal build orders and...

Probably gonna go ahead and start with the storm call scion but probably do ele/tri instead of ele/ass (maybe not trickster either but probably since I don't think any of the others are that good for casters).

Quick PoB that isn't really optimized as far as gear/etc. with scion ele/ass has storm call doing about 775k shaper dps and arc doing 800k when I change the aoe nodes to generic lightning damage ones instead (cast while channeling was somehow giving it huge dps boosts but that doesn't make sense...

I had no idea that was a thing. Then again I think I've played one spellcaster build since tempest (or maybe beyond or even before that) and it was a void battery FP char that I only played for a couple days anyways. I don't know how you can watch mathils storm call delve videos and say "base...

It's a bloodlines mod (blue monsters with one of a bunch of possible bloodline mods).

152 to 862 vs 341 to 633 + conc effect + vaal storm call due to the gem changes? How on earth could arc be better for single target?

I'd be surprised if spark or arc were anywhere near as good as storm call for shaper/uber elder/t16 guardians/etc. That being said, some things will always be stronger than others so you could make the same "whats the point" argument for 99% of skills and builds in the game.

Wat? Did you not watch mathils storm call vids from Delve (or any of the other leagues he's done it)? It smashes stuff, especially with the way vaal gems work now.

I dunno, my last totem build (and every totem build I've ever played) was able to keep up with summoning totems just fine, i'd never take another huge damage hit for a bit faster uptime.

Bought this last night to tide me over 'til new PoE league, played 2 games so far and got smashed around day 66 on each. Having a lot more fun than I thought I would despite getting my ass kicked.

Damnit I clicked on this thread expecting it to be the Christmas porn thread...

Most items you're not going to want to do anything other than slap a mastercraft on. Items have to be really good (or you have to be fine with basically wasting a lot of currency) to use exalts on.

You sure you're not thinking of courtyard? I can't really think of anything on Orchard that makes moving around suck.

Everything since the pre-awakening patch. Game was amazing for the first few months and then they took a giant shit on it. I went back earlier this year and played for a couple months but meh.

Unless they are adding tiers of damage rolls exclusively to 2handers, it's not gonna happen. I've never even seen a 2h in a league get crafted to be better than starforge/atziris, hell most of the time I can't even find one with more dps than a kaom's axe.
