I don't see why new corpses wouldn't work, but again that's just BF+BB or DD etc. I'm totally fine with having a shock skill plus conduit for big single target, but everyone trying to automate the shocks is really in for a rough time.

Alpha nerds are reporting that all non-hit forms of shock have a 4s cooldown for re-application now - skitterbots, necro corpses, prolifs from shocking yourself with maligaros, etc. Looks like they are really forcing you to apply shocks manually and play conduit similar to BF+BB.

I doubt I'd even use brand recall anymore. Just play it like arma brand and cast new brands everywhere as needed. Only thing I'm not really sure on is actual shock effect on inquis. I really don't wanna go elementalist cause they suck, but I'm afraid inquis isn't gonna be hitting max shocks vs...

I'm telling you, stormbrand in thunderfists! Easy like ~2m damage storm brand to clear maps with, and can just spam conduit on anything that doesn't immediately die with 2x brands constantly shocking it. Then use an annihilating light and laugh at your PoB numbers. Only real question is can...

A lot of why melee feels so fucking bad is because almost every skill has a shitty 60-80% base attack speed mod on it. They did that shit way back when they did their animation update in like Betrayal league or whatever and it's made almost every skill feel like trash since. I can sorta...

This fucking thread

Really hard to know, this is pretty uncharted territory. Ashes specifically I expect the price multiplier on either perfect reservation or perfect quality to be insane though. Lower tier uniques though drop so frequently though that even good rolls will likely have a pretty low price ceiling...

If we get one for each type of charge they could get really interesting for some builds that have basically no other source of charge generation

Yea one set of corpses only shocks once apparently - lot of people claim that was changed/ninja nerfed in the last day or two and used to just constantly apply shock, but fuck if I know. I think the way to go is gonna be the new Thunderfists and Storm Brand or Arc. Level 30 Added Lightning is...

Skitterbots and corpses don't re-shock the same enemy if you consume the shock or it wears off, people already have been testing that and it's a dead end. Conduit sorta works out with CwC with some cast speed investment, but the mana is still gonna be a huge problem. Manual Conduit is gonna be...

Shocks are so easy to get you can use something way more mechanically sound than shock nova. I don't think automating Conduit itself via coc/cwc is viable - the mana cost on it is just too extreme. It's pushing close to 300 mana/second for sustained casting which just isn't realistic for any...

People are really high on sunblast with various ele traps, but man I'm not sure I buy it. Yes yes 3x damage from Sunblast, but the arming time is gonna feel like fucking garbage. Is Sunblast legit the only source of arming reduction left yea? So ~1 second or so arming time? Mehhhhh. I think I'm...

The hilarious unspoken nerf of the monster changes is how badly it's gonna fuck boneshatter: "All monsters in an instance that are the same or very similar will have the same magic monster modifier" So this is gonna result in some maps having what, 30-50% of your blue packs in a map rolling...

Y'all ready for divines to be so valuable you literally can't buy them with chaos because the trade window won't hold enough of it. Economy is gonna be fuckin wild this league

Finally got around to watching this on my other monitor while I played Diablo. This felt like a parody of a Marvel movie. Completely nonsensical loud obnoxious greenscreen sensory overload at all times that assumes you have watched 17 other movies before this and read two fan wikis to be up to...

If that's all it is then I hate it even more. Lightning strike getting to continue to do the thing they specifically removed frmo molten strike is some real bullshit. It's already mechanically a superior skill in every other way, why does it also get free double boss dps?

Lightning strike finally gets the MS nerf after dodging it for several leagues. All hail our new helix overlords I guess. Trickster looks sick.

Meh the villains were all basically copypasted from the comics, right down to the serial killers etc. Funny how they didn't see fit to palette swap any of those though.

I wouldn't have even minded black death - the girl herself was fine, still relatively cute. But the show is just so entirely thorough with replacing literally every character with someone off-white and/or gay. Diner dream orgy? Asian lady with a black husband. Gay couple. Waitress likes the...

It got absolutely savaged in the gem nerf patch, along with a bunch of the nodes on the tree and master of metal etc. Phys impale DPS in general was only barely good enough before that - it was definitely one of the victims of that patch lowering the floor so much that it just feels awful to...

Cyclone hasn't been a viable primary damage skill in quite a while. There was a brief window before the major gem nerfs that it was still pretty good, but after those the damage just isn't there. Especially now if you ever want to do ubers cyclone is just not a thing.

Divergent flame dash per quality: 2% chance to Ignite enemies 2% more Burning Damage Level 35 gem: Fire damage: 2022 to 3033 Burning damage: 5336.6 Cooldown recovery: 78

Flamdash ignite is already a thing. It'll be even more of a thing now since this makes it pretty easy to hit gem level ~35 or whatever. This all assumes that divergent flame dash exists and isn't suddenly a 20ex gem

Probably. Scaling two different damage types generally is too difficult to be worth it. The phys to lightning gem is really strong though, and you can get another full 50% conversion from temple gloves + eldritch implicit now, so getting to full lightning is very doable.

Isn't this literally every generation of cards. DOUBLE THE PERFORMANCE, QUIETER AND LESS POWER, INSANE VALUE Then the actual cards release and it's the same thing since the dawn of time - 20-30% performance gains across comparable models and prices no one is actually happy with.

This whole fuckin stream is just the best

The underground/hotel streams from EVO has been fucking top tier so far God I miss this shit, but all we got now is that faggot James Chen

Aris is the best thing on Twitch but I'm so worried he won't last much longer the way they've been heading

Finally decided to give this a run while waiting for the new PoE league. I can't actually play it for the most hilarious/weird reason I've ever encountered? Whatever they have done (or haven't done I suppose) to optimization in this game is causing my 3090 to like max out power draw to the...

Yea that's pretty wild for what is otherwise a throwaway unique that rarely ever even gets used during leveling

The subreddit has become entirely unhinged at this point. It's like some collapsing star of the densest circle jerk you could ever imagine. Literally the worst game ever made and Chris is actively sabotaging it just to make fans miserable.

I suspect minions and skellies specifically are still gonna be very, very strong. Getting a global +2 roll on your hat and being able to tinker with other ascendancies besides besides necro actually makes minions a rather interesting space again. They are also adding minion rolls to shields, so...

Transcendence loreweave baby. Big fat 200k max ele hits. Challenges done. Armor set is pretty fuckin sick

Didn't nerf it enough sadly. Still probably gonna oneshot entire 6-man feared etc.

Top end of minion builds will be a net buff. You won't be walking in to red maps for free now wearing a tabula anymore though I'd wager.

Pretty standard "nerf everything that has been meta for 2 leagues" approach. I wonder if there's more individual skill gem adjustments in the full patch notes. Sunder buff looks...actually large?

Alright fine, I give up. Never rolling another strike/melee skill again until/if there are major overhauls. Fuck everything about trying to boss with this handicap.

Me and the homies bought it last night and it's very good, but also pretty derivative. If you like the L4D formula you'll have a blast, but also don't really expect anything groundbreaking either. The loadouts/guns and customization are decent enough, but the real selling point for me was them...
