    If you're buying invites at this point, even for 2cents, you're pretty desperate, I've got so many to give away and basically no one needs them anymore. Stupid Valve keeps sending me mails about how I got more invites, even though I still have like 14 from before.

    On your build, there's a quite a few things I'd change. First, are you sure you want to run mana based instead of Blood Magic? Seems to me it'd be a lot easier with Blood Magic. Second aspect, nitpicking and priority choices. The 10% armor nodes near the center are terrible, drop all of...

    Quill Rain is an explosive arrow bow, and that's pretty much it. It shouldn't be used for anything but specific builds which disregard damage. It's also good for EK or Flame Totem shenanigans due to the insane projectile speed. You certainly shouldn't be using Quill Rain as lightning arrow, ever.

    Yeah well alts can be finnicky bitches for sure. I used 60 alts to roll ONE seething flask the other day. Just a normal seething hallowed life flask, I didn't even care about the 2nd mod, and yet I never rolled it forever. Also about 15 augments. Was just saying that in general, you'll be able...

    Just so you know, flat cold damage doesn't affect spells so it's a meaningless stat for casters. That still sounds like a pretty decent wand, but not that amazing, very high spell power sure but no crit, no crit dmg, no cast speed. Cast speed especially can be found in large numbers on wands and...

    3GCP is way overpriced, but maybe it was ilvl 50+ or already 4linked. I'd say a basic Quill Rain is worth 2 to 3 chaos, 3chaos being 1GCP. I wouldn't pay more than a GCP for one, in fact that's what I paid for my current one iirc, and I only paid a GCP because it had 19dex(out of 20) and was...

    Well they nerfed it for some reason for open beta, he used to be like he is now but then for OB he was only casting like 1spark or some shit, thought it was intended nerf. I went back to avoiding him now, no point in risking it. It's fairly safe with a skeleton totem and a long range spell but...

    There's no EU/US split, it's all mixed, only thing is whoever created the instance will make it on their platform, so everyone else who enters that instance(groups) will also be on that same platform. Can play with whoever and chats are shared for everyone, only split is hardcore/softcore.

    Both ways work, there's not much of a difference to be honest, but if you follow the road you'll never end up backtracking and shit(other than when kiting), which can happen when running around randomly. Makes very little difference in the end but groups tend to follow the road since it's easier...

    Dual totems is really strong, but it's a very passive slow style. I mean not slow slow, but it's slow paced. Drop a totem ahead, see if it aggros anything, move up a bit, drop another etc. Once it aggros, drop 2nd totem near it, curse whatever, maybe drop a few mines/traps, wait for stuff to...

    At the same time rolling items can take a lot of currency since it's heavily RNG based. Not saying I don't like it but I popped 60alts on my shield yesterday for example trying to get a high health roll+high resist and I never got one, settled for high health+mana cause I was running out.

    You could blood magic some flat auras yeah I guess, better make sure your hp doesn't move though cause if you reserve more than your total health, you die, and that's a pretty stupid way to die ^^.

    On HC a GMP is worth 2-3GCP, with no qual. With 8% it'd probably be worth an exalted. Maybe softcore prices are lower or maybe you're just not finding the right people I don't know. Friend of mine who plays softcore seems to be getting a lot of really good deals though so I think it's just way...

    Yeah Piety is pretty stupid too I assume, I haven't actually got a char to her yet, my explo arrow died on vaal and I can't be bothered progressing on my dagger melee witch anymore.

    Get the 2nd curse and add enfeeble, then pretty much nothing is a threat anymore unless you're like not using any health items. Enfeeble makes Vaal's punch tankable on cruel pretty easily too(on merci you need fairly insane stats to tank it though, when it hits in its high range). Playing a...

    Quality gems are worth more than that. Rule of thumb is 1GCP per 5% past the first, so 5-9%=1GCP, 10-14%=2GCP, 15+%=3GCP. The actual usefulness of the skill influences the price too, so like a 10% lightning strike or freezing pulse is going to be worth more than a 18% righteous fire. If it's a...

    Well I have the radius passives in witch and templar, but also using concentrated effect. It does a pretty large aoe when you stack the charges though(each charge adds +2 radius) and proliferation itself which spreads the burning is like even large than the explosion so even if mobs aren't in...

    Short video of a Felshrine run on my new explosive arrow witch, surprisingly powerful and fun to play. Video I was still 2 levels under Felshrine (so 57) and was already killing stuff super quickly as shown, and that's without the big fire node or the burning node.

    It's not approaching, it's 100%. The flaw in their design is you can reach 100% fairly easily(he does it with a unique claw but that's only so he doesn't have to use the stun gem or all the passives) and that it actually works on bosses. They're fixing it though. People used to run stun treshold...

    That's why he's rerolling, devs already said they're gonna nerf it. He said Chris mentionned they might leave it like that for trash mobs but give bosses some sort of diminishing returns/immunity to stuns or whatever to make it impossible to stun lock them like trash mobs.

    Molten shell would kill everything before the rest matters. It does an absurd amount of dmg, with the only downside is you one shot yourself quite often if you molten shell on an elem reflect pack.

    With summons you mean? Cause dominating blow is complete fucking ass on its own. It does no additional damage and it costs a fuckton of mana too so you can't heavy support it(well maybe in an EB build).

    Yeah act3 is just annoying as shit, too many retarded mobs for minions. Act1 and Act2 still easy, other than specific mobs like the exploding guys or firedogs.

    I think Leadership kinda sucks, I find once you're 60+, your auras base % increase from lvling them is good enough to cover your minions in most cases. I just don't feel it's worth 3points. Inner Force is though if you haven't picked that yet. As for group play yeah it's pretty messy...

    Wouldn't say that, there's quite a few abilities that don't benefit quite as much. Lightning Strike for example imo is better with Pierce now. Get a 10-12% quality LS with Pierce and it has 100% pierce, add LMP and it's basically a super large cone aoe. Chain wouldn't reduce the damage more and...

    Hmm supports seem fine to me? Not sure which one you feel is too weak, chain is still fine, fork is still useful on the same spells it was before/until you get chain, lmp is still great, gmp is still situational(mostly for totems) I guess this one could use a buff. Or you're talking about the...

    Pretty sure it works like I said, but it's annoying to test and I could be wrong. The game can tell when it's the "last target" because your pierce roll fails. The same way the game can tell when it can start forking a projectile that was piercing because it just failed piercing. If you put...

    Afaik: Fireball doesn't do aoe dmg if it pierces, fork or chain, on the target it does that. It only does an aoe on the final target hit(for example if you have 50% to pierce, shoot at one mob, it pierces the first and explode on the 2nd, first will get hit by single target dmg, 2nd mob will...

    Unique is just a quality, it's not really unique, people sell Shiversting all day even on HC, it's one of the common uniques.

    That's a problem for some of them, not all of them. Specifically, it's an issue for builds that rely on weapon damage and unique weapons, since then it won't scale. To a similar extent a build that "relies" on tanking stats would have trouble running low stats uniques. But not every build needs...

    40%, and yes. When you pick blood magic, you don't want to run any of the % based auras. On the other hand the flat auras are pretty cheap to run when you reserve them on your 4-5k health pool. On Blood Magic support, sure it's viable but you have to remember it increases the cost by...
