And let me try to address a typical response. If crafting gear not for your character(i.e. selling it to others) becomes a non-insignificant way to advance your character(i.e. you use your proceeds to then buy the gear you need), said crafting system is broken. The only reason that's...

Rog feels like all their other crafting(except OG Harvest) activities. Time to success is unknown, so it's very hard for your subconscious to trick itself into thinking it's worth your time in a per-interaction unit. This problem plagues trading too(how many people am I going to have to...

https://poedb.tw/us/Instilling_Orb#EnchantInstillingOrb Use on travel skill maybe. I never put my quicksilver in my flask macro, got used to pushing it manually between packs.

"You know, I've got too many of these Heat, Staunching, and Warding beast crafts" said no one ever. I really hope they didn't design those orbs, which ended up obfuscating QoL, so that they maintained price longer into the league.

Disappointing if true. A lot of missteps in this flask rework.

SST is a good starter, no need to wait.

Unrelated: Instilling Orbs are mega gay. I'll give credit to those people that predicted this. I decided to wait, but they were 100% correct. Getting the right prefix on a flask is annoying. If you want a non-Beastcraft suffix, you can easily be into yellow or even red tier maps before your...

If you don't find killing your enemies by jizzing blood all over them interesting, what builds have you been playing? I keep hoping they introduce a white MTX for Exsanguinate.

I'm about ready to flood the market with my Gwennen and Rog currency. Gwennen seems worthless except for achievements. Rog, is probably worthwhile. But he desperately needs the Ritual window filter. Show me only the rares my filter would and I'll "craft" on those.

Yeah, I tried forbidden rite with mines. The single target was promising. Clear was bad for the reasons you listed. I tried Frozen Orb too. Stuff snipers mark, hydrosphere, and flame wall on an arcanist brand and the single target is quite stupid. The clear was lacking though. I don't know if...

Traps with 0 duration are fine, you don't have to deal with arming time. Similarly, don't play mines with Minefield support, it's horridly slow. Also, don't play mines like you care about chaining detonation, takes too much attention. I went with mines because you can get a Tremor Rod and...

No required uniques, but I think Tremor Rod and Kaom's Heart will go a long way towards making the overall power level of the build feel better. Machina Mitts help a lot too since Exsanguinate will be cutting into your Sabo regen. I do starter PoBs a bit differently, just filling into slots...

I was toying around with Tremor Rod and Kaom's Heart instead of wand, shield, and corrupted tabula. Damage is a bit better on the former, obviously HP is much better, and I might be underestimating how much a good 3 T3 affix wand and shield cost. Either way, damage will drop off basically due...

Been playing Exsanguinate Mines. I would recommend, especially as a starter as it sidesteps most of the mana issues since it spends and reserves life. I must apologize to @dizzie, I was too harsh on Tremor Rod earlier. I think was assuming if you used Tremor Rod, you had to use Minefield and...

I think they are depending on you buying currency off the midget.

What's in the main links then?

After playing around with Forbidden Rite, I'll say that I doubt it gets nerfed even though the +proj behavior is unintuitive. You definitely need to scale some AOE to ensure overlap. And without some proj speed, the clear is just average. The projectiles don't split, btw. I did see a couple...

Load up PoB, try to scale cast speed...

Come play and abuse this before it's patched. Everyone is distracted by the nerfs.

The irony of totem cast speed is so slow that they can't kill themselves before being replaced. Totems take reduced damage?

@ronne To answer your other questions on cluster, I think you have to go to totem mediums. No other way to cap your totem's chaos res. I still think Necro is the only way to play this skill with any sort of appreciable speed. Cast speed got gutted way harder than attack speed.

The spread on the main projectiles is such that they aren't guaranteed to overlap on a humanoid target?

lolwut? How the fuck did the skill get released in that state? This makes me suspicious that Sniper's Mark will split one of the projectiles for 4 extra hits, like Blazing Salvo.

Bind it to left click. Don't bother with chain explosions except on bosses. And even then, play high-impact mines, where the "chain" is just a bunch of mines built up. I agree that timing explosions from blastchain or the prebuilt mine skills is poorly supported in this game.

Sunblast and 2 Cheap Construction will solve that clunk. Or switching to mines. As for squishy, I'm going to try staves and Kaom's Heart. Not really sure how far the build will go.

The "Why are you still playing the skills?" trifecta MTX. https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3151846

How so? Am I missing something? It looks like a glass cannon that still has to precurse everything while clearing.

Rhoas fucking you up in the mud flats was the only added difficulty. And that was likely the evasion rating nerf.

Holy Relic can definitely scale to a silly degree. It's kinda like dom blow. Dom blow clears faster with feeding frenzy, but you don't have the downside of trying to tickle your sentinels out of the boss. I wonder if Cyclone feels comparatively less sluggish now. SST *feels* like tossing a...

Anyone play a miner trapper? As in, you throw mines, the mines throw traps, which then casts the spell you want. It's sounds like a meme and I'm not fully convinced it's not yet. But you get to take advantage of some of the best mine and trap nodes at the same time, as well as double dipping...

Walk me through Rog, I can't spot items from him that are worthwhile. What are they walking back? Nevermind, read right over it...

Also probably means Firebat is never coming back to Hearthstone.

Oh, is this why Kripp is doing a week long PoE stream?

That's not fair. I doubt they have 3080's in NZ yet.

You use manastorm and put manabond in Mjolner. Use a foreboding mana flask to constantly proc manastorm. Not my idea, not interested in the idea as the build seems to have a weakness on bosses with flask charges.

Spectral Helix looks slow as fuck unless it scales heavily with projectile speed. If there was some way to totem/trap/mine/THROW it, that would be great. You can't even General's Cry it.

Tagging @Byr since he responded to me as well. By "straight up murdered", I mean exactly that. Spellslinger is mechanically unplayable in 99% of the current builds. I can think of one build, Mathil's Ele Hit wander from last league, where he used Spellslinger to cast Hydrosphere and Sniper's...

Is there discrete/functional/financial/whatever reason to distance yourself from a bank? Or is this mainly an ideological thing?

People shouldn't be pushed to play new builds because their favorites have been straight up murdered. Spellslinger complaints are valid. CoC likely too. Stole from Zizaran? He explicitly shares builds, how is that stealing? There's definitely stuff to be mad about in this patch and the...

If Quin quits PoE because of this patch, I'll buy the expensive supporter pack. I have no reason to believe he will, just saying the game will be better without him.
