Sell your gear? This isn't how you rage quit. Self-cast discharge? Dual wielding Doryani's Catalyst? Cmon, do you have "wheel of builds not even hipsters will touch"? This is even worse than your fire nova mines.

Gut reaction without reading the article: duh? Crazy chicks are more willing to do the nasty shit we want. Because, idk, let's go with...*throws dart*...daddy issues. Sometimes I wish my wife was crazy so she'd ask for the kinky stuff, or sex in general, instead of me having to continuously...

Totem bros don't need staunching!

Oh man, look at that passive tree. Early in the league, regals are worth about the same as chaos. As the playerbase moves into higher tier maps, regals lower in price. However, for the first time, it seems regals are more expensive than chaos. My guess is due to revamped crafting and...

Should we execute this thread or send it to Fortificationthe rickshaw?

Depending on your HP pool, you might be able to get by without stun immunity as a melee. I was playing flicker strike for a couple days and you can tell when the flicker chain momentarily jerks to a stop. I consider the slow and chill immunity and not having to use Kaom's Roots the true...

Jesus, that guy put a whole lot of effort into making an unreadable guide.

Unless I'm doing es, I usually pick my armor bases for the socket colors required. A bit of armor isn't useless, it can mitigate a lot damage in a sea of monsters. Unless you have a ton of armor, you should be avoiding the big hits, not trying to mitigate them.

@LachiusTZ You're doing CoC with molten strike? I can do a serious critique of your build but it's going be quite long. It might be better you give a general idea of what you want to play and then someone can refer to a good build guide.

I'm not saying you didn't. Busting the door down before the necros can ass fuck you is probably the best melee strategy for forts. I've been hesitant to use it because it takes 30% of your hp, but I've been having more success with forts by popping Vaal RF along with my pots. Getting the door...

Forts are the main problem. Can't get the door down in time? Now you got an army of adds on your ass. Deal with the adds? They keep coming back. Get the door down? Now you have 3+ one-shotters in tight spot with turrets firing on you. I think the issue is that the content is requiring too...

Leap Slam needs a LOT of attack speed to feel good. I prefer close to 0.33s use time before the jerkiness of the start of the animation becomes fine.

It's a good rough draft, but I hope you really aren't playing a melee character at level 84 with 3600 HP and no helmet. There are some easy passive pathing inefficiencies you could fix too.

I thought it was well documented that just missing their Metacritic "bonus" is likely what didn't bring them back. As in, perhaps Obsidian made the decision here, not Bethesda.

PoE does a very poor job of telling you to slow the fuck down and farm some maps. If you graphed it out, you'd see this weird double step graph where monster and player power level are zig zagging each other. Syndicate make monster power level even spikier. I bought a Vitality LoH gem last...

I've never played commander, but my meager understanding makes me think it's kinda casual magic? Could the increased competition inherent to an online game possibly be amplifying the power, and thus your recollection, that these shuffling occurrences have?

@Mist hates himself. Or at least plays someone that hates himself on the internet. Either way, maybe that means you should play something else. I was doing well with Boros weenie but decided to put the game on hold after the new PoE league started up. I don't think it's healthy to play this...

On red tier maps, I can't always get the door down before adds start swarming the place. Anyone know if killing the necros will stop the adds from spawning? If not, I might just go to Blood Aqueducts whenever fortification shows up.

This is what, the 3rd straight league that interacting with the league mechanic is better done through non-map farming than otherwise? Really wish they'd think of this because it's common enough to just make me roll my eyes at it. This happens too much. Would it really that bad that you can't...

Kaom's Roots will make you immune to Elder's slow.

So one of the issues I have is that getting INSIDE the damn fort can be hard sometimes. Or even just taking the time necessary to click on a syndicate member so Flicker doesn't waste time beating on adds that are just going to be replaced.

Odd that you say your damage was high enough because that doesn't seem that abnormal. I'm taking Multistrike out of my Flicker CoC linkage today, maybe being able to focus them down will help.

No, I mean damage taken. My output is fine.

Is it really just phys damage? That would be sad if it's that, my defenses are fine otherwise.

Agreed, I'm skipping syndicate in most maps as the rewards are not worth it. On top of it, manipulating them to get the few worthwhile rewards is frustrating to the point that people are resorting to low level farming instead of risking xp death for a fucking crafting trial or a set of rain of...

Arbitrary goals(hint: challenges) are always a good way to end the league.

Can't decide on to put in my Cospri's Malice. Frostbolt paired with Ice Nova or Freezing Pulse? Really like the clear speed on Freezing Pulse but Ice Nova is more dps.

As in, your dps is low already and you don't think a xophs is going to fix that?

Why not get that xophs blood?

Yeah, I think endurance charge on crit is for axes only. Unfortunately that's a shit base for crit and the chance is less than tectonic slam chance to spend. I wonder why they kept the charge expenditure on every multistrike. Inconsistent with flicker strike.

Yeah, multistrike can easily outpace that.

Been playing some tectonic slam. Feels like sunder and old earthquake had a baby. Amazing how similar multistrike can make skills feel. How does a build like this sustain endurance charges on bosses? I was looking at dual wield because I hate movement skills with 2H but I might have to drop...

Looks pretty close to what I initially cooked up. I like the juxtaposition of Unnatural Instinct and Headhunter but no Uber Lab ;) Some minor comments from someone that hasn't played this build(yet): Increased crit strike chance support on Shield Charge? Ancestral Protector for Cyclone...

Interesting. How does the skill's cooldown interact with Tectonic Slam. As in, how many balls can you effectively proc with one usage of TS? One of the things that worry me about trying TS is that it has poor single target interaction with LGoH. RNG rework is still trash. Glad they made the...

I'll go over it tonight. The wording in Ice Nova is really ambiguous, I wouldn't be surprised if it works one way or the other. Vortex in your cospris or CoC?

Does Ice Nova in the CoC link turn out to be more single target dps than Glacial Cascade because of the double cast on Frostbolt interaction? EDIT: Actually, I take that back. I think it will double cast only with Spell Echo or some other kind of repeater. So why Ice Nova in the CoC?

I've gotten 3 to drop, haven't spent any of them. People complaining about exalts not dropping are almost always at a point in their gear progression where you shouldn't be spending them anyway.

Interesting. Are you taking Ghost Reaver?

I'm playing storm brand, so ES on hit is less valuable. Should be quite good with CoC though. What are you crafting with rings that interacts with ES on hit(besides the spider aura)?

They do seem easier this league. I was really worried, going from Incursion -> Delve, they didn't learn from the double gem corruption challenge. Instead, seemingly doubled down and gated more challenges behind RNG. Reviewing the challenges again now, I'm actually considering 40/40. Yeah...
