ACKCHYUALLY, they're about equally janky. This is one of those areas where PoE is maddeningly inconsistent and opaque. Everyone knows that Spell Echo means you're in for 2 casts no matter what. Unleash has what Mark_GGG terms as "turnback" time. For each repeat, you pay for 10% of the...

@ronne @AladainAF why are you guys using Unleash with Bladefall? In absolute throughput, isn't Spell Echo better? Or are you running around and dodging often enough that the slow seal regeneration(relative to Spell Echo) doesn't matter?

@ronne Did you notice that he's using Frost Blink to reposition while Frost Bomb is repeating? IMO, that's the only way you don't make the clear not leave too many stragglers. Still a slow janky build. Cast, rooted, frost blink, root, then you can move again. All the new stuff tried this...

Even if you only pick up the rares the very strict filter says to, ID them, don't even look at them, and toss them into a decaying tab rotation?

So, ultimately this is GGG's fault for creating an environment that would encourage this. Do you know the approximate value of more than a handful of items? Will this lead to GGG creating something closer to an AH? Will this lead to GGG introducing less clutter each league? Survey...

@AladainAF What's your poe profile? I'd be interested to see how much you were able to scale explodey chest while still going crit.

Every time I look at Inquisitor, Pious Path looks interesting but the remaining parts look clunky. Full convert BF/BB? Might as well go Chieftan and non-crit so it synergizes better with explodey chest. Basically, explodey chest is a big PITA for every non-Assassin build that wants to go...

You can get into red maps with a bunch of builds that cost 5-10c per slot, don't RMT.

@ronne you mentioned in guild chat somehow getting 2k life and es regen with Pious Path. Got a PoB for that?

Forgot about that! Can you get 6W from fossil?

3-4M shaper dps on garbage gear(I went through the pains to make sure everything was cheap) and retarded sustain from LGoH would be the main points. I agree, it doesn't seem like "wow!" at first.

You hit the Hydrosphere, Tribal Fury hits the boss. So the boss is getting at least some extra proj than without Hydrosphere. You might be right on spread. The skill description is misleading because it says "This attack causes balls of molten magma to launch forth from the enemies you hit...

Fossil craft.

@ronne Poke some holes in this. This is dirt cheap(nothing over 10c) 3.9M Shaper dps. It's been a while since I played Molten Strike, but I think the rule of thumb is that half the projectiles hit the target? So, with Hydrosphere, it's roughly 8.5 * 1 meatball dps = overall dps...

Gotcha. I thought you were referring to the actual mechanics of elemental hit. I think Molten Strike would have more potential for abuse than frost blades.

Not following you, how does that turn it into elemental hit? A lot of the strike skills seem like they would benefit from Hydro Sphere + Tribal Fury. My understanding is that you can't use Multistrike though because Hydrosphere is not an enemy. So, Multistrike will target the boss and then...

Molten Strike + Hydrosphere? Or has Molten Strike been nerfed too many times for even having a second "enemy" bring it back to the days before ground targeting was nerfed?

Species bickering about pronouns are below threshold for reaping.

Single target looks about 50% better on that build. Cold BV will be tankier and sustain much better. I noticed refreshing his BV really chunked his mana pool and it did not rebound nearly instantly like a flaskfinder would. There's also less synergy between improving chains while clearing and...

Got a link for archmage BV? What's the benefit over Indigon Cold BV(similar mana costs after stacking)?

Archmage Hexblast Ignite! 1.7M shaper dps and the room for improvement is quite large. Notice that it's using blasphemy, which really cuts into the benefit from Archmage. I hate 1-2 combo abilities. If get your hands on a Chaos Impresence, the dps comes close to doubling. And this is with...

Yeah, I know where the tankless is venting. There's some PVC running from it to the outside wall, all in the same room. My guess is that pipe was leftover from the previous heater?

Neato did that build. He seemed to like it. Its clear was god awful. I haven't tried or PoB'd any of the builds you mentioned. Battlemage sounds like 1-2 combo bullshit. I don't think I've seen a BV build that scales flat damage. For those that might be curious, I finished leveling other...

Heater was replaced about 15 years ago with a tankless. It's about in the same vertical location, 2 floors down. I don't see how it's connected to that though.

Melee Crimson Dance Deadeye.

Doesn't go through the ceiling to the floor below!

While we're on the topic, what IS that pipe for? It's not a vent pipe for my tub. At least, I don't think it is, I know where that is and it's much smaller. The chimney is not in use and on the other side of the house.

Hmmm, I didn't notice any progression around the pipe. But either way, guess I should have someone take a look at the roof. If that flange is leaking as you suggest, can it be causing the spot I originally pointed out? Seems odd for water to travel that far without damage in between.

They implemented texture streaming so they could capture that sweet PS2 market. I haven't noticed it on my computer yet(but it's also possible I just haven't run out of memory during any of my play sessions), but it appears that this change has resulted in a fair amount of people getting nasty...

This thread gives me anxiety. Some times I wonder if would be better to stay a renter, financial reasons for buying a house be damned. Somewhat on topic. Let's say you find a discolored spot like Brahma posted. Size, color, location, doesn't matter. Is there a way to tell if it's just a...

PoB is the challenge of this game. Gameplay is too fast and one-shotty to provide fulfilling dynamic gameplay. Learning boss fights is the exception to this.

Abberath's Hooves - 2x Obliteration - Fan The Flames - Elementalist - Autobomber. You and @Caeden both seem to dislike this build. What's been the issue? That said, Archmage Ignite Hexblast has been going great. I'm going to reroll to the build I just mentioned because I just love chain...

They're about 90% there. And I'm not smart enough to know if I want 100% SSF. Lab trials? 6Ling an item? Rare uniques that define your build? If those become SSF viable with sane play hours, is that good? I guess, but the comparisons to D3 are a bit spooky. I will admit I'm quite...

What build are you playing? I'm not suggesting you're wrong, I just want to see what build benefits that much from harvest crafting. I looked at the builds I have planned for this league and they're still at least partially unique-focused. Harvest crafting will help with mitigation and...

Did you toggle the Maven Voyeur button on the atlas device?

Mostly.

Define fix.

I don't see how dropping SS would help in that regard.

Is it the survivability specifically that sucks or the sustain? If it's the latter, the only real way to fix that is Wicked Ward.

We should have 1 day a year where we can see who's ignore lists we are on.
