    Speaking of AC, is there a good way to tell if your AC is too heavy for the window? We have aluminum windows with plastic frames. When I put the unit in the window, I can see the window and frame both bending a bit. Obviously, it's holding for now or I would have been able to answer my own...

    I guess I'm just bad. Wish practicing in this game wasn't so expensive. Like, I didn't get excited for Uber Elder one bit because I know how frustrating and expensive of an experience it will be to learn the fight. And yet, still not relishing the thought of having to buy a carry if I want...

    As I recall, I had two main problems. No on-demand-movement skill made dodging things like balls or beams much harder. I would also get vortex adds during his bullet hell phase. If I had a real movement skill, I feel like I could easily zipped out there to pop it before the phase started...

    I can't seem to do Shaper with the build. The lack of movement skill and slow ball lightning makes it feel a bit immobile. I'm not exactly experienced with the fight either.

    I'm surprised there's a build that chieftan is best for. Cyclone is not channeled, so if you activate it, it will spin until where you clicked. The only way to combat this is to always hold cursor as close to your character as possible.

    The second part of pump and dump has been initiated. Probably shouldn't have taken an exalt for my kaom's heart, but the fucker was sitting in my stash for over a week, so whatever. People that play the economy instead the game itself kinda bug me.

    Yeah, a lot of builds can give you that. The core concept is elemental prolif, inpulsa, and herald of ice.

    I'm willing to bet what you liked about the BV build has nothing to do with BV itself. BV itself is annoying to maintain and is just a catalyst for the HoI and Inpulsa chains that clear the screen. Assuming I'm correct?

    Interesting combination, supplementing arc into a typical volatile build. I've never liked the clunkyness of unearth/bodyswap though. Doesn't Indigon/CoD usually require Zerphi's Last Breath? Also, since you're death-adverse, you might want Immortal Call in your pen. I don't know if it will...

    I know the build I posted isn't intended for bossing, but the build I based it off doesn't have the following weakness. I added a 4L that's really great for clearing but is mostly useless on bosses. HoI - Innervate - Ice Bite - Hypothermia. If I wanted to do bosses with this build, how would...

    Overall, the endgame version is probably more than that. But to get started, you just need 3-4 Poet's Pens, Inpulsa's, and some form of leech. You can get that last part from a Berek's Grip, or a corrupted amulet.

    @Borzak and anyone else really. I really love this build for mapping and anything not-serious bossing. Probably just Uber Elder at this point. Non-on-demand movement skills kinda hurts it. This is a cold-lighting version of the popular arc/lw PP build. I don't think a guide has been...

    Does anyone know how Flicker Strike and Multistrike interacts with frenzy charges generated by hits? For example, I know if you crit your Flicker Strike while wielding a Terminus Est, you only get 1 frenzy charge. But I'm somewhat certain that restriction is only for crits.

    Take a break then, come back when you feel like that last 5% will be less painful. I can't count how many times I've rage quit this game in frustration only to be back later. That may not be the best way to learn, but it did get me to the point where I'm at now. For example, that realization...

    2H sword Lacerate is probably "fine". And by fine, I mean you should have been able to work your way into red tier maps easily. It's not a build I would have gone with, but I don't particularly like Lacerate nor 2H builds(too slow). I think sticking with that build would have been fine, or...

    Definitely. I'm not creative enough to come up with my own builds but I love tweaking other's. I took daridar's lw/arc pp build and added chill/freeze/blind in a reliable way, huge improvement for survivability. This Apep Flicker build, I'm thinking of dropping voidheart and getting bleed...

    Depends on what you plan on doing for challenges. I'm doing 36 and there's surprisingly little needed for boss killing that I already abandoned my Double Strike Jugg(idk, just hated the clear speed/style after getting use to a arc/lw pp elementalist). I'm hoping this Flicker Strike build can...

    Herald MTX are the best! Fuck you haters. Also, I don't group with people, so I don't get FPS issues. Unless my Elementalist is blowing up 3 screens of mobs at the same time, but I consider that a badge of honor.

    I've been messing around with the Apep Flicker Strike build that was posted a few pages back. Fun build, but still level 70 so haven't put it to the grinder at all yet. I really don't like the way that player uses Blade Vortex - Curse On Hit to apply to curses mana reservation free...

    Golden Rule will still inflict reflected poison/bleed on the original target? That's counter intuitive. I guess Apep's Slumber is interesting in that it prevents damage from the self-inflicted bleed, but was that really that much damage to begin with? I guess I'm missing what's interesting...
