Pony up the secret sauce.

I watched that guy's Chimera clear: Nothing about that made me go "yes, this is a powerful build". The arcs seemed flacid at points. I think he made the mistake of trying to buff SS and Arc via minion damage and spread his build too thin. I'll admit I don't know how to fix it though. I...

Was and is a thing. I specifically test ran a quad-curse occultist to level 80 last week to test it out. I'll always take arc if I can, I just love that skill's flexible clearing potential. Only downside is when you run into a big fattie that takes a few extra casts of arc to kill and you're...

Hmmm, will have to check how much damage a 6L static strike beam does. Then again, that's the "refresh this short buff every little bit" game play that I hate about BV. I was really hoping for some triggering bonanza. CoC is out and all the CwC trigger options seem blah.

They do. What are you planning to link with it?

I accounted for that, didn't I?

Real shame you can't do Mjolner + CoC. Well, I mean, you can...but you shouldn't. Probably the reason why Cospri's didn't get the same treatment. I want to do something with Mjolner as well, but can't think of a good main skill setup. Seems like a waste if you're not triggering while you're...

Current Molten Strike is 147%. So you get 1 melee at 147% and then X projectiles at 147% * 0.6. New Molten Strike is 161%(9.5% buff). 1 wildfire jewel(2 less projectiles) and helm enchants nerfe(1 less projectile). So you get 1 melee at 161% and then X - 3 projectiles at 161% * 0.7. At 2...

PoB needs to be community maintained. There are watchers eye affixes missing.

Yeah I was joking. The amount of idiots that ignore their adanto when it isn't their turn is frustrating.

Why are fetch lands bad for spectating?

Slight anachronism is fine if it means the movie fits in better with the current times. Rewriting history or pointing it out explicitly is not ok.

Yeah, but she's white.

Right click opponent, auto resolve.

Cyclone still works that way. I know the smaller the better I just can't ever seem to commit that to muscle memory. Is there a reason crit isn't rolled per hit like everything else?

When I think tanky, that basically means jugg or occultist(if going CI). That could be my own personal hang ups but I've yet to play other ascendencies that can compensate for my tendency to fuckup as well as a jugg or multi curse occultist. I'll have to test it out, but numbers I've heard is...

Vaal Spark was actually "possible" this league.

Totems are just minions that can't move.

PIP?

That's what makes it a good starter. Just beware, sustain is a bit difficult for that skill since you essentially can't leech and LoH isn't reliable.

Pick a skill you like and play it. The nerfs are likely not going to make starter builds unplayable. If you're looking for scaling your starter build into the end game, that's a different discussion. I'm likely going FB Deadeye into some CoC build. Or if CoC turns out too squishy, probably...

Are you sure about that? Here's what I'm having trouble balancing whenever I try to make a tanky CoC build in PoB: Tankyness High APS and CPS Crit rate/consistency(these are separate for some skills like Cyclone) CoC kept on cooldown To get the last three, I almost always have to go Assassin.

I use autobomber to classify any build that moves and kills at the same time, maybe that's a misuse. Mjolner, Cospris, Poets Pen all fit under this and can easily kill bosses. I don't like Charged dash buts it's a delayed move and kill. It techincally counts but in a janky way, likely why I...

Consecrated Path Flicker Strike Cyclone(I'll admit this one is debatable) Charged Dash Many autobomber builds based on dual Heralds or triggering uniques. These are going to increase dramatically with the return of CoC.

Opportunity cost still exists in devoting supports and links to make maintaining those stacks worth anything. There are many builds that don't have to stop to dps. Not coincidentally, to me at least, these are the best builds :) Before 3.4, you couldn't maintain Arcane Surge without stopping...

It would be pretty cool if they nerfed BV damage moderately and made it instant cast. Smooth playstyle for main skilling and lots of utility for applying on-hit effects in tons of builds. I actually can't think of anything I want to start the league with now that isn't JUST a starter build...

BV is powerful, it doesn't get this popular otherwise. It's the playstyle that sucks.

If so, they should have put that in today's manifesto. It was the most used skill this league.

They'll be alright, people that want to play them likely will. But GC and BV based builds will make them look silly.

Poet's Pen buff ;) PP, Cospri's Malice, Mjolner...what other items offered triggered effects? Ngamahu's Flame, I guess, but I've never looked into the cooldown for that item. 0.25s CD on Mjolner is NOT the problem with it.

:| I was looking forward to Conc Path jugg. On the extreme high end, this cuts out a quarter of my dps. So, I guess I might start BV even though I hate the cadence of the gameplay. arc -> gc mines is another choice. Or Toxic Rain Assassin into CoC. If the "joke" patch notes can be believed...

How does this deal with stat sticks for spell casters?

Not how the gem is being used there. It's purely just to gimmick to give the minion tag to an ability.

Likely just to deploy 3.4.5d. Why would they need to bring down the site for balance manifesto?

So, we're in agreement? The 35% chance is bullshit that no one will plan their build/clearing around. Thus, you have to play with base Tectonic Slam. It could be ok, if the damage numbers justify it. But I doubt they'll juice it enough that it will be justified over something like Ground...

The pessimist in me is suspecting that stat sticks and poet's pen will be nerfed. I don't know how hard, most stat stick builds are probably fine, they will just take more gear to feel the same. Poet's Pen, regardless of how fair the nerf is, will likely be replaced by Cospri's Malice as the...

Didn't they just switch developers? Seems like a hard game to get behind when the publisher basically did a vote of no confidence.

It's still in beta. What you're describing used to exist(Gwent) but they went and fucked up the consistency hardcore with the recent release. I'd play pre-Homecoming Gwent over MTG.

Doesn't matter. It's inconsistent so you'll never plan your clearing strategy around the 35% chance, thus it's almost a complete waste.

That's been around since that support gem was introduced. Not worth it, considering the cost. Unrelated, from unplayed to...unplayed.
