    Last Epoch

    Finally decided to give this a run while waiting for the new PoE league. I can't actually play it for the most hilarious/weird reason I've ever encountered? Whatever they have done (or haven't done I suppose) to optimization in this game is causing my 3090 to like max out power draw to the...

    The subreddit has become entirely unhinged at this point. It's like some collapsing star of the densest circle jerk you could ever imagine. Literally the worst game ever made and Chris is actively sabotaging it just to make fans miserable.

    I suspect minions and skellies specifically are still gonna be very, very strong. Getting a global +2 roll on your hat and being able to tinker with other ascendancies besides besides necro actually makes minions a rather interesting space again. They are also adding minion rolls to shields, so...

    Top end of minion builds will be a net buff. You won't be walking in to red maps for free now wearing a tabula anymore though I'd wager.

    Pretty standard "nerf everything that has been meta for 2 leagues" approach. I wonder if there's more individual skill gem adjustments in the full patch notes. Sunder buff looks...actually large?

    Alright fine, I give up. Never rolling another strike/melee skill again until/if there are major overhauls. Fuck everything about trying to boss with this handicap.

    Me and the homies bought it last night and it's very good, but also pretty derivative. If you like the L4D formula you'll have a blast, but also don't really expect anything groundbreaking either. The loadouts/guns and customization are decent enough, but the real selling point for me was them...

    Yea the market for them is pretty barren. I had to make the one I have myself and it's on a shitty base, but it'll have to do for now. Kinda the same for all the weird sentinel items. When I logged back in I got spammed to hell and back for my enlighten gloves, dex stack boots, etc. I sold the...

    Had to convert to lightning strike because lab just would not give me a molten strike enchant. Need a minimum of 10% phys taken as ele on the hat, and with the way the late league economy is I had to do it myself. Hit lightning strike projectiles after like ~40 enchant uses so just stuck with...

    Alright berserker project is moving along. Hit level 90, played with PoB some, still need to try and find/buy some items yet to clean a few things up here or there. Getting full 100% phys taken as ele is not easy unfortunately, especially this late in the league. Having to rely on a taste of...

    Yea all these max transcendence or melding builds are relatively weak to DoTs in general. Champ setups have the same problem really. Part of the reason I want to try and do this as molten strike for the big juicy life gain on hit recovery. It's also not that hard though to keep like 5500 life...

    Jesus I need to be real careful with planning this - the prices of stuff have gone completely mental. Half an exalt for an armor recombinators is fucking ridiculous lol. I might give this transcendence thing a try. The cost of buying an omni will cover most of the weird gear this requires, and...

    Ah interesting, those I have not actually seen. Doesn't look horrifically expensive to put together? Though hitting actual 100% phys taken as elemental looks extremely fiddly with needing that shield corruption, but even hitting like 80+% has to be good enough I'd wager? Edit: there we go, the...

    Yea the only issue with that is the purity of fire sublime vision is like 70ex or something ridiculous I could maybe scrape together the cash to do it if I liquidated the dex stacker, but it'd be close? Edit: well someone bought my enlighten gloves for 50ex so maybe sublime vision isn't out of...

    Alright I've never done the champion omniscience thing so might as well get some of this in before all the nerfs next league. Who got an omni sitting around, or do I gotta go buy one?

    Path of Exile

    It's possible. It's hard to find a target that doesn't explode instantly but also stands still long enough to get a good read on it. The reality though is that the skill itself is just too clunky for ubers for my tastes. I'm sure I could get another 30-40% more DPS with some gear changes and...

    Path of Exile

    Yea I can't really tell how many times a specific projectile is hitting, but you can watch it happen on bigger bosses. The DPS that happens when the split projectiles all return home is ludicrous, like orders of magnitude higher than the initial DPS of your attacks. All the conquerors/guardians...

    Path of Exile

    The dex stack build has a shitload of theoretical DPS due to the way spectral throw and snipers mark interact, but it requires a fair bit of attack/ramp time for the projectiles to split and come back was the main issue. I'm not sure how to even actually calculate it in PoB, or if you even can...

    Yea I'd like to see some kind of change or revision to it for sure. As it stands now your shield/glove/boot slot all basically start with 'does it have t1 suppression' and all the rest of the rolls are whatever after that.
  27. ronne

    Path of Exile

    I'd be surprised if suppression doesn't get nerfed next league. Either by dropping the damage reduction to 40% or lowering all the affix values on gear making it far harder to cap if you're not actively pathing around that side of the tree. I'd wager the latter is more likely. Also wouldn't...

    More importantly for archmage stormbrand they made brand recall cost scale based on the original mana cost of casting the brand, which basically killed it entirely since it made brand recall cost ~2k mana in those setups.

    It'd take a lot for arcane surge scaling to ever matter unfortunately. Not only is archmage complete trash, but arcane surge itself is so garbage right now that trying to scale it's base value seems like a losing battle.

    The purity of fire one is really propped up by the shield as well. Getting near ~60% of everything taken as fire from that one item is the only reason anyone cares, otherwise it would be just as worthless as the other purity ones are.
