Lacerate? Doesn't it only hit twice?

No, you're right, I'm remembering that now.

Aim assist?

Hopefully you just mean Lightning Trap. That's going to be some awful clear otherwise.

You're right, it's not. But I don't see a lot of people pathing that way unless they're playing staves. Especially since that node won't sustain on single target and you can socket a support on clear if you really need to. Chieftan, on average, will stay one of his usage almost all the time...

I was trying to setup a sandbox on one of our OSX test machine. After a couple hours, I found it impossible to delete what I'm guessing are Apple's stupid version of symbolic links without sudo. The frustration is that I can take the time learn these systems and their nuances and I'll still be...

Yall need a character naming class. 4PM today. @Jonkimble will be my TA.

Smashing Strikes? That's specific to staves.

If it made you feel better, that's only weird on his part the first time. After, he's just learning from experience how to make you happy. If my wife is sad and my dick can make her better, you best believe I'm going press the fuck out of that button.

By using the skill.

I'd say he does phys -> fire conversion builds much better than Jugg.

Am I wrong to think it's stupid to do a DevOps job without root on the machines that are your responsibility?

They're both more multipliers, added damage from lacerate won't matter one bit. I see what you mean now, your comparison is between the two nodes directly relatively to each other. I guess the downside to Blitz is more than people were expecting.

How is Carnage 50% more damage than any other node when it's flat 40% more itself?

You're going to play HC with a known-shitty skill that's just been revamped? Good luck. I honestly don't know what to recommend to you. IIRC, most people try to scale the projectiles with Deadeye. Respeccing is cheaper than releveling after a certain level, probably around 80.

Definitely slayer so you can respec into a real build later.

I haven't tried cauliflower, not a huge fan of it compared to broccoli. And I don't like eating sponges. I've found broccoli very forgiving to roasting since you have a large amount of control of the size of the pieces. Still sucks as a leftover though.

Too easy to fuck up is the issue. Gotta be roasted but just right so that the inside is cooked but the outside isn't burned.

I would only go pure Chieftan if I needed 100% reliable endurance charge generation for Tectonic Slam on bosses. Otherwise, for this kind of build doesn't benefit enough from the other nodes. I'm surprised you're not going Jugg since you're hardcore. That seems to be the melee hardcore default.

Weeb build, invalid. Also, 6 patches old.

This is the kind of build that thrives on continual investment. I'm not sure I'd play the build if MotM or Xoph's Blood were basically unobtainable. I looked into Hybrid instead of CI. I really wish PoB would give me percentages of total EHP, not just life or ES. It makes the just life or...

I hope so, nobody likes a DOA gem. @Xequecal This is my BLS build atm. Obviously it's overtuned in the passive budget, but I don't think that's worth finetuning until PoB is fixed up. Tectonic Slam restricts the Ascendancy choice, otherwise Chieftan/Raider or Berserker/Raider would be viable...

Let me clarify my criteria. When I evaluate a node just on numbers, I look at the EHP and DPS per passive point to acquire it. If DPS/2 + EHP < 2.0%, I generally don't get it. Some builds require special consideration, but that criteria generally works for the most part. Then you thrown in...

No, but if you're going to attach it to a spammable movement skill in the hope of using it as a clear skill, I can see hitting new packs within the cooldown of shockwave.

It's quite easy to get your movement skills fast enough to 3x the speed of that cooldown. I guess it really depends on the size shockwave.

Blind! Frenzy charges aren't worth investing over finding more strength. That's why the ranger area doesn't make sense. No ES nodes(which you generally don't like anyway), jewel socket placement makes it really hard to convert your pathing nodes from dex to str, and the attack nodes still...

What are you going to do for stun immunity though? What skill are you thinking of using? What do you want on the right side of the tree?

A BLS build can easily path by both Utmost str and int nodes, especially if you're going ES. PoB doesn't seem to think it works, but this is also the first passive with increased stat, so could be a bug in PoB. Utmost INT is still worth picking up even if you can't convert the increased. It...

Oh, ok.

How's that?

BLS Geoffri's Sanctuary sleeper build, dodge the ES nerf by stacking it with strength instead. I wouldn't league start with a BLS build though, unless OpenArl can get PoB updated right quick. Can someone explain the point of Shockwave support? An on-hit effect with a 1s cooldown? Meh?

I need to look into bow crafting a bit more, though I'm not sure it's actually better for DoT builds. If you're using another skill to supplement your ED or Soulrend, don't you lose damage on the supplemental skill? Bowcrafting seems to target boosting the socketed skill while sacrificing...

Oh, I don't mean overall clear speed. I'm not a fan bending builds completely towards clear, especially when you have competitive options in gear slots. I meant the feel of casting ED and contagion. On a buffed out Trickster, it's now a bit slower than half a second to get both off perfectly...

Two hand and shield nodes? u dum. I'm holding off playing around with PoB until the skill gems and accuracy calcs are updated.

You'll likely not like the speed at which Occultist plays ED/Contagion. Trickster seems almost required. Can you link the build?

What was the problem with Lancing Steel previously? I didn't try it but I tried Shattering Steel and gave up on it because you couldn't support it with Multistrike. So, I'm trying to compare HoWA to BLS. BLS *seems* better because you get 4-7 Fire damage, 4 ES, and 2% increased ES per 10...

Change the name to X-Its, the memes practically write themselves.

Why Shavs with ED/Contagion? Perfect Form seems like it might be better.

25% slower, 25% more damage. I am dubious on the aoe changes. It's 10% longer but 33% skinnier. Geoffri's Sanctuary and BLS still looks quite strong, it dodged all of the ES nerfs except for gear-related ones(I never planned my characters to use Dense fossils). Those "Utmost" nodes are...

I doubt budget friendly and cyclone are going to go together at the start of this league.
