How many stacks of Indigon are you going to maintain, where is that mana going to come from(on a boss fight at that), and how are those stacks not going to prevent your Mjolner trigger skill?

Can you react to being unexpectedly frozen in a way that doesn't seriously jeopardize your character? I've seen a lot of builds going out of their way to get ailment immunity because the premise of reacting to freeze is fundamentally flawed. I'll be honest, that's how I handle bleeding and...

Best part of this league: 2+ weeks into the league and reddit is still in constant bitchfest. Some real schadenfreude to be enjoyed here. Worst part of this league: there's some real issues with the game(flasks and mana mainly) and I fear that the above will give GGG reason to not treat valid...

I'm assuming he mistyped, as BV with BB is a mechanically dead combination. BF with BB might be as well since BB lost sizeable chunk of radius and might not overlap that much.

So, what's the interesting part of the skill without the stun pulse? Maybe with a ton of attack speed, you can stack a bunch of trauma and reliably trigger some CWDT(which you'll pay somehow...)? I wouldn't discount the stun pulse. Supposedly it can chain itself.

When the devs admit stun is fucky, and that ability relies on stun, why would you want to play that skill?

Ziz and Steelmage league started with that build and put out build guides, so a bunch of people are aping them. That is not say it isn't a good idea. Just keep in mind that if you see a bunch of people copying a few content creators, it isn't hundreds of people all see this obvious idea that...

Really sucks to retire a build because of performance reasons. Has anyone else had issues with Elemental Hit? No MTX. I'm not actually sure if performance was worse, just the consequences of not being able to accurately aim a barrage of projectiles is much greater compared to tossing mines...

Your internet speeds have fuckall to do with it. They implemented texture streaming and quite poorly at that. Commonly used textures or even textures it can know for certain are going to be used are now getting dynamically unloaded to make room for the way too many core assets. Doing a map...

I've been leveling up a Deadeye to try Ele Hit - Barrage + Sniper's Mark - Spellslinger. That's right, it's not completely dead, but it's relegated to very dusty niches. Also, not above mockery by GGG. I believe it was posted in this thread that they were reverting Spellslinger trigger...

No, I don't. I was more pointing out that it is a complex system, there could be many factors at play, and I would hesitate before draw absolute sureties from it.

Or that the demand for Rog and Gwennen currencies are so low that people don't even bother selling them. That said, there are people selling 1 alch uniques, so...

I was checking market prices this morning to see if it was worth it to do exactly that. The sample size indicated that no, people are not doing that with Rog and Gwennen. There does seem to be a market for Dannig and Tujen currency, unsuprisingly.

Forbidden Taste with trigger on savage hit is the typical setup.

Build-enabling uniques. It's really fascinating(and disturbing from a longterm perspective) just how much the game relies on the inherent ubiquity of everything being tradeable. Think of the builds, items, and content you couldn't do or really struggle to even do once in a league without...

And let me try to address a typical response. If crafting gear not for your character(i.e. selling it to others) becomes a non-insignificant way to advance your character(i.e. you use your proceeds to then buy the gear you need), said crafting system is broken. The only reason that's...

Rog feels like all their other crafting(except OG Harvest) activities. Time to success is unknown, so it's very hard for your subconscious to trick itself into thinking it's worth your time in a per-interaction unit. This problem plagues trading too(how many people am I going to have to...

https://poedb.tw/us/Instilling_Orb#EnchantInstillingOrb Use on travel skill maybe. I never put my quicksilver in my flask macro, got used to pushing it manually between packs.

"You know, I've got too many of these Heat, Staunching, and Warding beast crafts" said no one ever. I really hope they didn't design those orbs, which ended up obfuscating QoL, so that they maintained price longer into the league.

Disappointing if true. A lot of missteps in this flask rework.

SST is a good starter, no need to wait.

Unrelated: Instilling Orbs are mega gay. I'll give credit to those people that predicted this. I decided to wait, but they were 100% correct. Getting the right prefix on a flask is annoying. If you want a non-Beastcraft suffix, you can easily be into yellow or even red tier maps before your...

If you don't find killing your enemies by jizzing blood all over them interesting, what builds have you been playing? I keep hoping they introduce a white MTX for Exsanguinate.

I'm about ready to flood the market with my Gwennen and Rog currency. Gwennen seems worthless except for achievements. Rog, is probably worthwhile. But he desperately needs the Ritual window filter. Show me only the rares my filter would and I'll "craft" on those.

Yeah, I tried forbidden rite with mines. The single target was promising. Clear was bad for the reasons you listed. I tried Frozen Orb too. Stuff snipers mark, hydrosphere, and flame wall on an arcanist brand and the single target is quite stupid. The clear was lacking though. I don't know if...

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.
