    Lol, vengeant cascade makes meatballs return TO the target hit by the attack. That's easily triple single target. League mechanic might suck but abusing vengeant cascade is going to carry hard.

    Just got to act 5, so maybe this gets better later. League mechanic is hot garbage. If I don't have a crucible tree to level(and this is often the case), why would I stick my hands in the forge? Just to see what trees are possible on shit items? How's that any different than picking up and...

    Would definitely work for divine blessing. Not sure about shards since I think it moves around on the buff bar. I'm a bit surprised what that mod can do.

    An item of that power level should be rarer or more expensive. Maybe reddit being reddit is amplifying it, but the core principle is sound. Broken clock yadda yadda. It took them multiple leagues to nerf Molten Shell such that it was somewhat of a surprise. It took them one league to nerf...

    I'd say Covenant is equal in power(and somehow not nerfed?) and popularity. So if you want to prepare for the worst, use that as a comparison.

    If I take a look back at my "starter" version last league, it did ~100k ignite dps. It's total dps was ~11.5M. If I add those two nodes, it gains ~250k ignite dps, or ~2.1% more dps. You might need to tailor the build more towards that passive. I haven't looked at crucible passives, I don't...

    Heatshiver and Ignite doesn't seem like a worthwhile combination. Ignite builds typically don't scale the initial hit, making it hard to reliably freeze.

    Wasted mana I can live with. Wasted time, Call of Steel is not instant, I care about. Best I've come up with is AHK will count the keystrokes for the key used to press Call of Steel. But chat functions will fuck with that.

    Getting close to 50M on a 5L Splitting Steel with Vengeant Cascade. This build violates a few of my requirements for a starter(not league starter) but those numbers are ridiculous even if you do have to pay 1 div for a few slots. Still can't believe the reaction to Nimis was to just give it...

    Yes, I have explicitly said that(maybe not in those words) multiple times. PoE is a PoB verifier. Gameplay is shallow and nothing really redeeming.

    I'm not sure what non-proj chain has to do with additional projectiles. Is it worth abusing Vengeant Cascade and steel skills to put up with Call of Steel?

    You can get lucky non-crit on an amulet now. The Voice of the Storm Unique Amulet no longer Triggers Level 12 Lightning Bolt when you deal a Critical Strike, or has "Critical Strike Chance is increased by Overcapped Lightning Resistance". Instead, it now has 50% increased Lightning Damage and...

    There's lots of useless masteries. They even got rid of some very useful masteries, like the two lightning masteries for +1 chain or lucky non-crit, and replaced them with garbage or ok masteries. The issue here is that they released a mastery without 5 minutes of thought. It looks bad when...

    Origin point is still you, split spectral throw does not return to the target in which they were split from. Sniper's Mark in fact ruins deceleration time as the split happens immediately, setting the split projectiles to full speed and then they slow down nowhere near the target before...

    225/174 is not 50% less. Hard to compare the abilities outside of that since the builds scale differently. I don't think there will be a huge difference in playstyle, honestly. I welcome playing a build without those stupid totems. Please explain the sniper's mark interaction. I don't see...

    I don't know either because of the nature of the change. Divination cards are perhaps a better example since they can be brute forced via stacked decks. Those get rebalanced almost every league.

    Would be pretty lame, but there's tons of precedence. I'm surprised they even mentioned the change to diadem. I was originally planning Heatshiver Ice Shot Deadeye as my league starter. But I'm thinking of doing Champion instead so that Perseverance is available incase Heatshiver is indeed...

    There's speculation that since it wasn't directly mentioned in the patch notes, Heatshiver got rarity nerfed. If you change your PoB to beta in the options, you can get the new passive tree.

    Yeah, league starting as frost blades trickster seems the obvious choice. Unless there's some generic "item rarity rebalancing" comment in the patch notes. Or it's just an undocumented change. Wonder if that requires a minimum of 1s for each interval. Like, you can freeze a boss for 0.5s 20...

    lol, weapons(and shields) get their own passive trees. Hopefully there isn't TOO much randomization in them. I don't care too much about the racing scene, but making the boss kill event Ruthless seems like a bad idea?
