I'm not sure how DD of Scavenging is even playable since you can't use it on corpses from skills.

Other way around. Frostbolt is going in the hat. Triggering Ice Nova seems like a waste because you can't get any animationless repeats. Of all the 1-2 builds, I think it's the only one that functions reasonably well where the 6L damage skill is triggering the 4L support skill.

Arcane Cloak doesn't cost anything. It doesn't interact at all with changes to cost. I was planning to use the -18% exposure mastery. I would like to use a Mark with the 25% inversion mastery, but that doesn't seem in the cards for Archmage builds at a low gear level. LW is experimental. If...

Kitava's Thirst is essentially QoL. LW into a pack, hit IN. Not dead yet? Keep hitting IN. FB will eventually proc and they'll fall over. The answer is always close with enemies, hit them with IN. Never that guessing game "Is this rare chunky enough to warrant an Arcanist Brand?". I'll...

CoC doesn't work because it obviates the bonus from Spell Echo repeats. CWDT might work, but at that point, might as well go full ward loop. I did try this morning planning out a PoB. I got 13M dps on league starter gear, minus the Kitava's Thirst obviously. I couldn't find a way to use...

Meta's already on DD archmage. I've tried a lot of variants of it over the years, never been quite satisfied with a solution to the 1-2 combo. The corpse requirement almost always adds an unsatisfactory delay to clearing. Ice nova and Frostbolt have always been strong, it's the clunk that has...

I don't follow. I haven't looked as his pob, but I can't imagine Ancestral Cry making much of a difference...in pob. It's a qol with some amount of unreliable armor.

Why do you doubt competitiveness despite Ventrua's results? As for why bother: I think that's a different discussion. I fully agree that it's demoralizing for them to make short-sighted changes that disproportionately affect different build archetypes. One of those, melee, already being in a...

So make the concessions. It's certainly not dead and remains competitive as it was Ventrua's best run. I don't know how much the Tabula contributed to that. He was not using a 4 socket for damage, that was in his chest slot. The point is just to show that his 3.23 run is valid for 3.24...

Are we discussing league start or a level 100 decked out character? I thought we were discussing the former but the latter is what Carn uses in his video. My point about the 4 socket weapon was to show that those 1-2 sockets are there if you need it.

The LMB change is stupid but I think it's preventing people from thinking rationally and adapting to it. Ventrua did some testing about a week ago. He tested boneshatter. Now, Ancestral Cry IS on left click, but he's also on two 4 sockets for chest and weapon. He gets a tabula later, but...

Precision is for Precise Technique, not 100% hit chance. Two accuracy affixes on rings might work. This is a league starter pob however. Much easier to run Precision and free up affixes on gear. To be clear, Ronne was the one having trouble fitting in the links for Ancestral Cry. I was...

Fuck maintaining ancestor totems. I forgo the hassle and socket pressure of multiple of them. However, dropping them entirely is just too much, that's why I use the Dawnstrider boots. I'll admit, I hadn't considered tuning attack speed to maintain a certain amount of Complex Trauma, thanks...

Level 90 Boneshatter of Complex Trauma Slayer [3.23] This is what I came up with. 23 gems atm, not counting anything for warcries. I could lose one of the support off Leap Slam. What am I missing that you have?

That's a human fist.

I wouldn't play boneshatter without ancestral cry or some other form of multiple strikes. Up until a few days ago, I was under the false impression that the pulses could chain if they caused stuns due to a false assumption by ThatsRealNeato.

Do you mean extra strike targets for clearing only? As in, you still use the mastery? Then yeah, that could work. Some attack builds were using Ancestral Cry already.

"Almost" was my way of saying "I didn't check everything". 100% delirium mirror is a bit annoying. 8% is hidden behind nodes you wouldn't take otherwise. Another 3 8% nodes are on the way to a notable that isn't normally taken(deli layers on dropped maps).

Changed this league. Pantheon power COLLECTION will be account-bound instead of character-bound. They are letting you toggle whether they apply to a character as some pantheon powers are detrimental to a few builds.

Removed. I guess you would use them to block scarabs you don't want? Also wondering what's the point of some of the map device crafting options. For league content that you can't have more than one per map(Delirium, Harvest, Blight, etc), forcing it to spawn via the map device isn't that...

poeplanner has updated their atlas tree tool. Am I understanding this correctly? It seems like you can guarantee certain mechanics from their specific passives alone. Harvest and Betrayal have over +100% chance. What's the point of those blocking notables then?

Splitting Steel got clipped by the Sniper's Mark nerf. Probably still fine. Hexblast Mines is fine with that new mastery. Very weird how they decided to compensate various builds for the LMB change. I don't see any changes to Boneshatter. I plan on starting as the Slayer version. Don't know...

Not sure how to parse the animation change.

What would it take for you to close shop and fuck off?

Patch notes tomorrow, assumedly. You sound hopeful that it won't get the classic triple nerf.

I would add that Storm Brand of Indecision has a minimum threshold to feel good. I like to league start on bare minimum gear, so I was doing Trickster with Singularity and Storm Brand in Kalisa's Grace, that level of gear. This was before Ralakesh became widespread and inflation kicked into...

For the most part, good.

They no longer drop, that is correct. You will run the invitation by talking to Kirac after completing the witnessing for a specific invitation. I'm not sure it's fair to count invitations and writs as part of that farming strategy. The only way you're getting writs is by running the...

Perhaps I missed something? Instead of getting approximately 0.7 invitations per guardian set, you're now getting 1. It's a common tactic to use demand to infer underpriced items. I throw stuff blind into a rotating set of stash tabs. If an item gets immediate response, it gets taken out and...

Didn't most specialized invitations drop while doing said specialized content?

People do that in league too. Maybe less since they can't sit on sales indefinitely, but it does happen. Just one of the many reasons people ask for an AH.

3.24: Tech Debt. Tech Debt is the wrong word. Feature Debt? Lots of gimmies and easy wins no matter what they are. Left click fiasco makes more sense if someone was just blindly knocking down bugs without consideration for the consequences. Reddit is still, understandably, mad about the...

Brotato.

https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Standard/JopyM9Otl Learning how to use the trade website is a minigame unto itself. An incredibly unfun and sometime frustrating minigame. I wish I could specify tier of affix instead of explicit values.

You already failed. Noping out of any position that wants an "excel evaluation" is the attention to detail they were looking for.

I never actually macro'd detonate. I will if this goes through and a mine build winds up looking interesting. I played Hexblast Mines in 3.20 I think, got my fill then, hasn't been much churn in that area since. LMB was fine for 99% of playthrough. And Hexblast actually covered that 1%...

2 socket tax to mine builds is going to be rough. It was very rare miners would use the detonate skill gem, so now you have to use it and one of these new supports?

Is there demand for out of shape gamer guys in the sex trade?

The area on that is getting hotfixed at some point this week.
