General tankiness question. I got a Tectonic Slam Scion(Slayer/Elementalist) to a pretty good gear level. Every slot has at least an exalt invested into it. I was a bit disappointed that I had to swap out inc aoe for conc effect at T16, thus neutering much of the appeal of tec slam, but...

I think @Khane was right about you being an apologist.

The adds on Chimera can be more dangerous than the boss. That said, none of the end game fights are actually that hard. They are "artificially" difficult by limiting attempts and making them inherently expensive. Once you get some practice with a build that can afford a few mistakes, they...

Chef, pairing, and long serrated are definitely required. But I would add santoku(kinda like a mini chef) and boning knife as nice to haves.

Don't use leap slam to move around unless it's at 0.4 use time.

Forum - Bug Reports - Shattering Steel dual wielding bug (?) - Path of Exile Bug report for those interested. Which support have you heard is more damage? I wonder if it's worth building around phys and impale mechanic, or ignoring it completely and going elemental.

Shame it can't be supported by multistrike and it's only swords and axes. I was interested in using in my HoWA build. Sometimes, restriction for flavor seems kinda dumb.

If I understand correctly, Shattering Steel has a couple bugs that are working in it's favor? Fork one seems pretty well known and documented. But supposedly Shattered Steel won't use your offhand when dual wielding? It essentially has stat stick behavior. So, why offhand a Paradoxica?

Why is this faggot unbanned?

You plebs saying you're going to do 40/40 is going to piss off Korrupt, stop it.

You did endgame grind? That seems like a bigger mountain than atlas objectives, solo at least.

There's a handy guide on reddit recently, let me try to find it. https://i.redd.it/h6m2drhaah721.png You might find the other parts helpful, but the map juicing is in the upper middle. It's just a guide, no need to follow it precisely. Generally, I alch T3+, chisel T14+(because they can drop...

Secondary content is very important at sustaining maps. Most of it comes from delve, some from incursion, some from betrayal, some from juicing your maps correctly.

Jugg looks like about 25% more dps while occultist has much higher max es and sustain. Clincher for me is that occultist can get Vaal pact with no downside. I agree attack speed might be an issue. I might dual wield to start.

I still do the chaos recipe. It's especially good this league for steady income.

Not to be a downer, but you should reconsider your looting and mapping strategy if you're running dry on currency. Early into pushing maps, yeah, you'll be short on alchs usually. But I bought no maps this league, traded a few with guildies, and my alch reserves were never in jeopardy. This...

I can't decide between jugg or occultist? Any preferences from the jugg ascendency when you tried it?

They don't want to be part of your email conversation.

Yeah, I saw a few builds using Vinktar. 94% of HoWA Occultists are using Dying Sun, 58% are using Wise Oak, 38% are using Vinktar :confused: I'm not really a fan of Vinktar since its charge usage is incongruous with all other flasks.

So, pretty much done with the league. Got 2 achievements to hit 37 challenges, 18 more research stashes and 3 incursion rooms(heal, map, tempest), so nothing difficult. Thinking of trying a HoWA occultist just to see how tanky this build can purportedly be. One thing I can't figure out, why...

Buying the beast for the craft gives you the craft.

There might be an ilvl requirement on it.

You gotta regal it and hope the annul takes the affix you don't like.

Delve and scrubbing guardian maps from your atlas sure makes sustaining an eldered map quite easy. Unless you like to do Uber Elder, I don't see a financial/farming/mapping/whatever reason to do the encounter. Those guardian maps throw quite a big wrench in any sustain plans.

3.5.2 patch

Don't forget to check the trade website for what you want. I was going multimod a pair of 15% IAS gloves, lo and behold, they were available for less than the multimod affix price. That said, I still plan on multimodding something this league. Let's say I find a magic item with affixes I...

Azurite quickly goes from need to meh. Just get the nodes on the way down and start delving into the side areas when your resistance doesn't suck.

Delve as far down as your build can handle or fossil run shallow nodes. Don't go horizontal in the middle.

How do ignites from different source work? If I support my Warchief totem with Combustion, am I going to reliably get the fire penetration? Or will ignites from my attacks overwrite the totem's?

Your build is missing gear and skills.

What made up most of that 25ex?

ACKCHYUALLY, your effective crit chance is ~90%! I would love to see your clear clip. Just a thought: going through whole rigmarole, isn't a couple Poet's Pen better? Yeah, I know the ICD on PP is 250ms and CoC has 150ms. Without Cospri's Malice, a CoC 6L feels too similar to a couple PPs...

I imagine Frost Blades(and Split Arrow) are bad because their single target sucks. I would love crit to be calculated per target instead of per activation for most abilities. It just ruins the feel of CoC. Blade Flurry and Ball Lightning looked promising but they're too incongruous. What...

I'd love a compendium that details how different abilities calculate crit. Some are known or obvious. Like Cyclone or anything supported by multistrike is only going to calculate crit once for the entire activation. This is what make Cyclone so maddening with CoC, you can get unlucky streaks...

I'm a little confused, shouldn't using something besides Cyclone, Blade Flurry, Flicker Strike(or something else with high innate attack speed) leave you at a lower DPS ceiling for CoC? I guess Spectral Throw works because of the multiple hits near the apex? What other skills make good trigger...

So, have you decided what you want to play next?

Ok, I'll admit I missed the intimidate on the belt, my bad. I haven't seen that belt used in a long time. EE makes good builds, but that build really shouldn't be used outside of Lab farming. Some people enjoy lab farming, some people use it as a stepping stone to fund a more expensive build...

Yes, I can see your characters. Why are you using 2 Ichimonji? No murderous eye in your Tombfists means you're missing on out ~10% more damage. You have to be the first Jugg I've ever seen that didn't take Undeniable. Please link this guide, it needs to be destroyed. Faster attacks is not a...

CoC is not the only way to autocast, but certainly the most popular and expensive atm. Poet's Pen is another option, as is Mjolner. After that, you get into gimmicky with varying degrees of viability. Note, that depending on your intent, gimmicky and viability are not inversely related as one...

I'm giving Tectonic Slam another try(dissatisfied with CoC trigger skills) and I'm trying to figure out why it's so common for people to support their main skill with Combustion instead Ancestral Warchief.
