If you like self cast, then play it. But the difference between self cast and mines/totems/traps/poet's pen is much bigger than you're allowing. You can still do most content with self cast, I think I saw someone do self cast freezing pulse on Uber Elder last league, your goals just might be...

So, lots to remark on here. But first and foremost, if you _really_ want to improve your build, find some other way to cast arc. Self-cast, especially arc because of its high cast time, is garbage atm and you can get so much more out of your build by switching to mines, totems or poet's pen...

While leveling, any class can use HoI - Ele Prolif - Ice Bite - Innervate/Onslaught and I highly recommend it. Up until yellow maps, HoI will easily proliferate itself with that setup. 3.2's buff to ele prolif gem probably helped quite a bit. You also need to stick an ele prolif gem on your...

Was freeze prolif ever gone? Inpulsa-Three Dragons is the only way to MF farm. I could probably shatter the whole delve at once if it wasn't for that stupid darkness immunity.

I'm not sure people are sleeping on regen, so to speak. An attack build can get decent leech with 2-3 passives. Traps and mines can get 20% regen with 2 ascendancy points. Most caster builds can utilize Warlord's Mark or a leech affix on the amulet. To get 20% regen otherwise is a much...

Traps and mines get strong regen. CA doesn't have much in it's typical tree.

How does your friend deal with the sustain problem inherent to all chaos dot builds? I started with CA and that's my main reason for moving onto my next build.

Well, what's the range on that teleport then? Anywhere you can click? The videos I've seen, people were still doing a whole lotta walking.

Doesn't the target requirement on consecrated path work against HoI? You leap into a pack and then chain shatter all the targets you would have used for movement. Just theory crafting here, I haven't used the skill. The target requirement kinda kills it for me since that mean you can't use it...

I really hope they make flares act like torches. I watched that whole video and unless you REALLY want some ssf fossils and resonators, it seems like mapping and straight path delving is a better usage of your time.

So part 2 of The Plan is to make a PP-Inpulsa-MF Elementalist. That's going fine. I'm wondering if it's worth investing into 1-2 Inspired Learnings given the nature of delves. I've never used an item that steals buffs from rares, so anyone have feedback on this? Part 3 of The Plan is to make...

My first reaction was "meh". Not enough to really be worth gambling on. Though, starting your own branch of the Wraeclast SS might be appealing.

That's my problem too. The way delves are designed, they make you hesitate to explore at all. Maybe it's that I'm playing a dot build and this will be better with arc pp.

How do you combat lights out mechanics? Maybe it's because flares are on 6, which is a shitty reflex hotkey, but it seems to be doing nothing. I'm 40 levels deep and have found nothing to dynamite. How do you identify something to blow up?

Flares and dynamite functionality are complete shit, I almost never explore off the path unless it's something I can see on my screen. With the amount of loot you get on a delve, they are basically incursions, that ain't the worst thing. Anyone been trying toxic rain?

It will mean it needs to point blank the boss, but just about every other skill is going to need to be close too(for poison). The virulence and 50% chaos AoE has me still considering Pathfinder, but Trickster still seems like a better fit because of Weave the Arcane.

I think you're forgetting that CA can effectively shotgun, its single target will be quite good.

Good point, forgot about that. I think CA could apply just as many or more than BV though.

I was thinking he put posoin on HoP because it was needed to proc withered touch, but doesn't look like it. I'll likely just go HoP with withered touch for better withered application in single target. I don't agree with BV. How does poison favor attack speed?

Poison typically does very little hit damage though.

Ok, so he has 4% mana unreserved. Always an issue with poison builds is how to sustain mana because leeching isn't that effective. How does this guy handle it?

He's closer, but still not there. Empower on HoAg is cheaper, not sure if worth it, but his link on the HoP is still wrong. He has Wither instead of Withering Touch.

Have fun spending upwards of days farming an Oni.

I don't think that guy worked out his mana reservations correctly. HoAg with 4 supports and HoP with 2 supports is well over 100% mana reserved. Clearing with a melee skill using 14s poisons is going to suck. I hate poison duration and I'm already dreading that my trickster's duration is over 3s.

Probably Trickster CA. Might take a look at the VS build.

I'm wondering if Trickster might be better than Pathfinder for caustic arrow. DPS is roughly the same but pathfinder doesn't have much for sustain. Anyone else been mulling a CA build? Still consider Ele Hit but idk. Skill seems kinda meh.

Are you going to drop ash for purity? Or are you going to try to fit ash, purity, and hatred? The more melee won't apply to all of the skill.

I didn't think the flat phys would be worth that much.

A bunch? How's that?

Anyone know if the Spreading Rot threshold jewel will work with the Hinder applied by Vaal Blight or Wither?

He covers this around 1:55. It's ground targeted and pierce will work.

Wouldn't it have made them more money had they released it months ago? I don't think chain will work with caustic arrow since it's ground targeted.

I'd rather it say "gaze into the abyss". I might play boring scorching ray for that. Shaper lightning warp in...3 days.

Took them long enough. I wonder if this was a directive from Tencent because there's no way GGG didn't know how much money this would make them.

It does seem that way, that makes it interesting! Zerphis is great survivability for life Indigon builds. You likely don't need it for grinding to 100 but I would say it's required for deepest delving. I meant just the flask, btw.

Uncapped lightning resistance? Wack. I'm not certain that's a fair comparison. I'm betting your character was geared for mapping. You'd likely have higher life and mana if you were taking a trickster delving. Another thing to consider in the overall Indigon discussion: Zerphi's is going to...

Pretty sure agony crawler is going be broken. Forum - Announcements - Delve Gem Information - Path of Exile Those stats, especially the phys damage add PER virulence stack is fucking nuts Level 20 caustic arrow does 64.4% at level 20, which is less than the video showed. Hmmm, might rethink...

My bad, sorry. How much mana regen does 2% max account for on a trickster? Do triggered skills count towards that? How do tricksters do defensively? Hierophant versions can get 10k es.

That would make them torpedoes though, not bombs. Or would they be missiles? Rockets?
