For what you should be using Python for, I can't think of a reason why you'd want to use perl instead.

Have you not been watching current events?

PoB assumes they allocate every point in a cluster.

The annoyance of having to maintain a skill that is incongruous with the flow of battle is definitely a major thorn for any build that utilizes it. I'll consider numerically inferior builds if they represent a major improvement in QoL. Poet's Pen and Spellslinger or CoC are vastly superior...

They dinged the base damage and effectiveness of added damage the same patch(3.6) they did the same to worb, before nuking worb the next patch. BV has been the same ever since.

Wonder if this will get BV nerfed. For how quickly they buried Spellslinger, I'm surprised how long they've left BV in its current state.

Just like the theatres themselves, this thread has been killed by covid.

Well, I wouldn't mind being told I'm wrong about Asenath's and Storm's Gift, these are conclusions I've drawn myself mostly. Both gloves need a non-exploded mob(i.e. a corpse) nearby in order to make its neighbors explode. That's why I came to conclusion that you need two mobs to chain through...

My recollection was that the time from initial contact with a pack to swinging to the balls splashing and killing stuff was too long. I'll admit I didn't try it with an explode chest.

Nah, I didn't get that far, clear was abysmal. My recollection from when I was theory crafting that build is that the balls should spread evenly through out the larger circle. I want to say 50% of them should hit the main target, but I don't remember how I came to that conclusion. A well...

I don't think I've ever seen someone play ele hit as melee. Replica Farrul's Fur + Arn's Anguish + Slayer opens up a ton of interesting build ideas. Shame it costs so damn much. Asenath's will never chain as well as a chest that can proc itself. With Asenath's and Storm's Gift, you need at...

Oh, I'm expecting dissatisfaction. The ssf experiment was more the point. Did your current build meet all those facets? Even if stupidly expensive, what was it?

As it should. I think what's out of whack here is that builds are being revealed much earlier(Maven observations are a big part of this). Previous leagues, I'd get invested in a build for 10s of exalts and run into the uncomfortable content at the way end. At that point, almost done with the...

Sure. PoE needs content rotation akin to card games. I don't know if that would help specifically, but maybe everything would get more implicit polish due to more available dev time due not having to maintain 5 year old content. I really like what Hearthstone is doing in finally implementing...

I find that's part of the problem. I play something like totems and I know in the back of my head that I could be playing, have played, a build that kills much faster and smarter just due to the totem placement time and dumb targeting. Almost every build has this issue. It's not really an...

I'm considering trying SSF with WOrb, a build I truly enjoy playing. Though, this feels like "maybe we should try counseling" part of marriage.

Loud smells?

A shorter endgame grind might inherently fix the issue. It would definitely reduce the implicit cost of trying out a build, not liking it, and having to recoup your investment.

Please excuse the rambling. I think I'm going to put PoE down for a bit. Maybe indefinitely. I've gotten into that typical cycle where I reroll a bunch because some new build looks fun. But now, instead, it's devolved into thinking the next build will patch the deficiencies in my current...

Kinda feel like we don't have the entire picture to be shitting on this guy.

Staves? Got a fair amount that's triggerable in this build already since I'm using that weapon craft and an arcanist brand. Plus I could get actual caster stats instead of the shitty essence crafting bows are relegated to and forced to socket your damage skill + empower in the bow.

Good idea, thanks. I'm running 1H + Shield because why not cap block chance as necro? But I think you can still do the same with Rearguard?

Headhunter, inspired learnings, shackles, kaom's roots, +levels bow, explodey chest.

I had the same thought, easy way to get projectiles. BUT....they don't do area damage, so they can't benefit from Intensify and Pinpoint. Magma Orb could have worked but they changed the threshold jewel. Blazing Salvo is the only spell I've found so far that's projectile, area, and will still...

Anyone know of a reliable way to add projectiles to a spell? I'm trying to take advantage of Intensify, Pinpoint, and Intensity(+1 max stack to Intensify). Without additional projectiles, Pinpoint will cause the spell to essentially do nothing. There's LMP, GMP, Volley, and Greater Volley...

Sunder that good for clear? I'll admit I haven't even tried it once since they remade it. I can't say with any certainty that Earthshatter reliably hit with all 5 spikes before 3.13. Just that they made it less reliable. Even then, if you get 3 spikes, it's something silly like 400% weapon...

Sirus is around 70-75M HP, so is Shaper. Not sure on Maven or Conquerors. Very unlikely for all spikes in one set to hit a humanoid target. There's overlap for sure, just not sure what the average count is.

Sometimes I think that and consider dropping the game for that reason. But then I go waste my time doing something else in between leagues anyway. PoE addicting? Gamers lack motivation and discipline? Both?

Shouldn't he be the one posting in this thread?

Anyone have experience with improving the clear on Earthshatter? Impaler + Great Old One gloves(impale damage explodes on death) is pretty good, but fucks over your single target. I'm actually a bit surprised how build polarizing Impaler is. I'm trying out the auto warcry from that build...

I don't see any cottage cheese.

You can easily stack double that if you take advantage of not killing recently on abyss jewels. There's a Jugg Siege Ballista build based on that and those new boots. Siege Ballista kinda suck for clearing though.

Not sure. Based on his profile, it looks like his int-stacking wander. But he has Frenzy on his skill bar.

@AladainAF Here's your bossing build.

Wrong answer. More mirrors.
