If the face plays taunt, me still go face.

Yeah, I don't think he's maximizing it properly. And even properly maximized, it might be meh. I was thinking a spell since you're obviously going LL. Build flexibility is so limited since you can easily eat 8 gem slots on auras. You definitely want the purities. You can cap your max res...

There's admittedly a lot of missing information, but what you've told us so far, that sounds like a marriage in name only.

Prepare to be whelmed. I'm still learning how best to tweak this mechanic, especially since PoB(fork or not) doesn't parse increase aura effect notables. You can get around that easily, sure, but it makes really hard to determine whether spending all those point on notables is truly worth it...

Good intro. You basically abuse increased aura effect and damage from herald cluster notables.

Overturned or reddit a bunch of whiny bitches they need to appease? Or, at least have convinced themselves they have to appease. I was kind of enjoying the holy shit must keep moving gameplay.

You are right, I tend to underbudget my defenses. It's quite common for me to go back to the drawing board when I get into high red tier maps. I'll take a look at this later tonight. Herald build with for medium cluster jewels looks mighty tempting though.

For anyone that likes to abuse broken shit, Bex confirmed that they won't be fixing the Herald cluster notables until next league. You have to expand the deleted comment. Smartass that asked the question thought he could keep it under wraps. Having trouble linking the precise tree. If you...

Sure, but what notables? I couldn't find any that gave damage increases comparable to nodes(~3% per point) on the tree. I liked the idea behind the blind one, but the percentage isn't high enough to be reliable.

Which ones would you pick for the large cluster wheel?

Ok, so 5 minutes solved.

It's a fun bit of schadenfreude to see him get worked up over the tiniest bit of Diablo news and then let down. There are certainly worse streamers though, even within the ARPG genre. Quin69, for example.

And this is why it's important to test builds. <-------This idiot thought Second Wind would give Brand Recall another charge. I'm still going to see the build through, but I'm less hopeful on a ~1.4s cooldown Brand Recall being enough. Magna Eclipsis might be required.

Here's a level 80 character with nearly 3M "Standard Boss" dps in almost all 5-10c gear, 5L with chain support. I think I had to cheat on the boots to cover resists. I might have to cheat a bit more to cover dexterity. My chief concern is the defense kinda suck, dodge/evasion wise. Mana...

They figured out you're an autist, what else is there to read?

If you want pops, I'd suggest Inpulsa and maybe Storm's Gift. Honestly, I still have to test this all out, so take that as you may. What about slapping chain on your Storm Brand?

Crit is your answer, unfortunately. EO just doesn't hold a candle to it. There's too many easy non-passive sources of crit chance and crit damage, like a Diamond Flask, to not consider going crit if your build can. Poisons and Ignites are about the only places where crit doesn't seem worth...

That's my biggest doubt with going OoS. Brand lets you pay attention to boss mechanics.

That guy died on a white map. I get the synergies, he just did a terrible job of showcasing them. I guess if you're going OoS, Trickster might make more sense than Hierophant. How does Arc fit into this though?

Why Trickster instead of Hierophant?

No PoB yet(at work), but I theorycrafted an almost-starter set yesterday that had 3M DPS per brand. I made some poor assumptions in that Cloak of Defiance and Fevered Mind are not starter items, so I'm going back to the drawing board tonight to fix those. Also, having to use base version of...

:rolleyes:

Battered wife syndrome.

Ok, I get how asbestos itself is dangerous. I just want to know if my tiles should be detaching near the seams in some places. At what age does that normally start happening?

Don't have one yet, just been reading up on it at work and pob updated just today. You're probably farther along in theorycrafting and playtesting than I am. But, yes, you are correct, that is a general downside of Ivory Tower. Arcane Cloak does help mitigate that.

Supposedly the glowy brain builds are with Ivory Tower.

Does asbestos have to do with the glue wearing out? I have no idea how long these sort of things are supposed to last.

It's definitely limited in skill selection. But it offers up an interesting way to build your character. Unless you've played mana guardian, it was very rare to want mana nodes and affixes. And even then, they were just defensive. Now they are means to both offense and defense. Also, brands...

Built in 1972, but I don't think the tile is original. The garage was originally a garage and it was converted to a workspace I think back in 2000 and tiled then. But I can't confirm this. I just don't see a reason for a garage to be tiled.

How long do typical concrete tiles last? I have no idea how old they are, I suspect ~20 years when the previous owners converted the garage to extra space. Some of them are starting to come up. Is this just the glue starting to wear out or something more nefarious? Note that I get ground...

These idiots can't handle 9 classes, another one is a terrible idea.

Shame you can't spellslinger ED/Contagion. My feeling is they put a bunch of balancing work into spellslinger for there to be any "wow!" combo. Years of Poet's Pen and CoC have likely paved the way for this. Archmage support seems much more promising.

That guy's under eye dimple is bothering the fuck out of me.

Shouldn't those numbers be as percentage of total population? And I'm assuming the Italy data "from the future" is just present day data time shifted to show how our curve lines up with theres?

Isn't there a new weapon that makes frenzy inherently AoE?

I'm going to wipe my ass with the $1M Bloomberg is going to give me.

Yeah, not much you can do there. Chaos DOTs don't get faster mods like bleed and poison do. The opposite would be to up your defenses so you can live through mobs that long. CI and that cluster notable that hinders on chaos hit might help.

If you're confident a pack of mobs will eventually die in X skill activations, you should move on. Sucks for looting, but your filter will become more strict soon. Phasing from a quartz flask and Dash help a ton for getting around mobs that are going to die but haven't died yet. But, I assume...

I've found that doing a back and forth wiping pattern allows for looting, but this really only works in open layout maps. My dps isn't such that I can clear the whole map with delirium anyway, so there's little cost to going back a bit to loot.

Barrage was acting funny with Poet's Pen last league, proccing much more than frenzy. IIRC, that was not the case before 3.9. My guess is the implementation of Barrage Support changed the skill gem too. Unsurpising if Poet's Pen and Spellslinger share some base code.
