@ronne note the phrasing on the cobra lash changes. It won't help poison.

I'd be very surprised if you could beat yourself to death via phys reflect as a poison character. Maybe ignite. They changed the conversion because Chris mandated 40 changes.

No, this sounds like you're still thinking of poison as double dipping. No modifiers are applied before base hit damage is calculated.

Been a while since a did a poison build but I want to say that doesn't matter. Phys and chaos are equal inputs for poison, which then becomes 100% chaos damage, and then all that chaos scaling applies equally anyway. Quick experiment with blade vortex, poison support, and pathfinder in pob...

What always kills fireball builds for me: it requires 2 non-damage support gems to clear well(GMP and fork or chain or pierce). Firestorm requires maybe one support for good clear? I haven't looked at it much, but I was thinking spell cascade is all it needs. @Thregin PoB updated for 3.13...

Why does conversion matter if you're playing it as poison?

I'm going to try it as my starter unless someone pokes some holes in it. The raw EHP and sustain looks great, but the mitigation(phys resist, block, dodge, evasion, armor) aren't that good. I didn't see a point to Doomsday if I wasn't self cast cursing packs. On bosses, even with a max doom...

The amount of cast speed on Raider isn't unique. Movement, maybe(I think Pathfinder can match it), but Trickster can come close or beat it depending on how you count frenzy charges and Swift Killer. My point being that Penance Brand Raider doesn't actually open up anything new.

@Thregin Played around with Hexblast, Blasphemy support, and Vixen's Entrapment last night in game. The curse rework is full of all kinds of clunk. I think the only way to get smooth clear is to ignore GGG's intended curse->Hexblast every pack and go with a Blasphemy supported curse. With...

DoT builds are in a pretty good place these days. Bleed, poison, chaos, burn, ignite, cold, all of it really. Ignite really benefits from medium clusters however, that might have been where your scaling fell off.

Didn't the Razorback dump their core to deal with the torpedo? How the fuck are they going anywhere?

Who's saying that?

I have no problem with what the patch notes *ACTUALLY* say. They mis-hyped the ascendancy and skill changes though.

Pseudo SSF is what I usually do. I only trade when I know getting the item I want by myself is not feasible(3+ T2 affix rare, really rare uniques, etc) or will try my patience more than trading will(6L items).

Was hoping for a bigger buff to Crackling Lance. I wanted a viable lightning spell for Archmage Ignite. Penance Brand might still work with Holy Conquest, but it's not going to clear like other ignite builds could. So, WOrb gained 0.1s for every channel. I doubt that's enough, you need a lot...

Sure, why not?

56% increased cast speed from 180% increased effect of Onslaught. Nerfed Trickster would have 51% increased cast speed from passives. That's ignoring the frenzy charges from Swift Killer. WOrb, unless they change something with the skill today, likely only works as self-curse Occultist. The...

Attack speed? It lost 15%. Would have preferred those boots got nerfed and the range dialed in. It hit like a wet noodle far too often.

Why not 10?

The wailing and gnashing of teeth, like music to the ears. When was the last time GGG gave a good buttfucking to the meta? Easily already the best league in a while. Does it help that the built I plan on starting(TR pathfinder) only got -20% AE, -30% chaos damage, and 15% more chaos damage...

Assassin's still a glass cannon! For the amount of flask effectiveness Pathfinders usually get, 6% seems like nothing. Especially if you pair it with Indigon and an enduring mana flask. I'm not sure the ICD change on crit flask charges will mean much. Let's say you have 4 flasks that you...

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3008762 Assassin lost 34% move speed and some defense. Trickster ES/Evasion looks kinda meh. I was expecting Pathfinder to get nuked. Not much else happened.

Are minions back to where they were before Blight?

Do you think they could manage that without a severe performance hit?

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3008718/page/1#p23742287 Hahahahaha, get fucked aura stackers. Better later than never and I don't necessarily agree with how they did it, but still something that was very much needed.

Instead, give it a boner react for @suineg

My friend was asking me about Lost ARK yesterday. From what he told me, it doesn't sound like it has expanded much beyond Russia and Korea. He knows I play PoE, so he commented on some things he liked more in Lost ARK than PoE: gameplay, UI, polish, art style. I can't disagree with some of...

Abyss jewel would probably be even easier.

I want to say you might have trouble chaining explody chest if that's your intent. Cyclone and BF are shit for clearing otherwise. This amount of gained and converted makes it hard to eyeball how much damage the explosions are actually doing. Do you have a video of it in action? Why no...

BV seems to synergize better with an explodey chest and cold conversion unless you're dead set on doing an attack build. Got a PoB for the attack versions?

Splodey chest for those cold builds?

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3008270 Yeah, nobody fucking asked that. Rogue's Harbor probably won't be packed with GPU-crippling MTX due to lower frequency of contract drops...but ffs.

I tried hit based penance brand with holy Conquest. It was decent. Left stragglers more often than I'd like, didn't really offer anything unique. I was hoping ignite prolif would solve stragglers and dot damage would allow the brands to bounce further before being recalled to their start location.

That would be great if card collecting wasn't expensive.

Did you try hexblast ignite? I pobed one as well but never played it because of two mechanics. Relying on blasphemy curse doesn't seem like it would be large enough for smooth clearing. And hexblast eating a curse means lots of curse refreshing on bosses. Was I wrong on these assumptions?

How is sustain with just the golem regen? Dot skills kinda suck for sustain which is why I want to get an Archmage Ignite build working so you can sustain through Agnostic.

Did you try clear with Holy Conquest? Maybe the crackling lance buff will make it numerically viable.

I haven't had to buy challenges directly in at least a few leagues. But Pyros is otherwise correct. You get to 28-32 just by progressing to A8. You get the rest by spending an hour analyzing the remaining and see it would take you 5-10 hours of playtime and then you're done with the league...

Just to point out, it won't work for Scorching Ray because it doesn't hit. My goal this league is try to make an Archmage Ignite build based purely on lightning damage so the clear doesn't suck. I've been fucking around in PoB and can't come up with anything satisfactory. I feel like I'm...
