The screen coverage on Tectonic Slam, compared to other melee skills, was a bit ridiculous. I've actually noticed the health buff on magic and rares from time to time. If you ED hits a fatty, you've got a good 2-3s where you're only "leeching" from one target before Contagion spreads kicks in...

That's only part of it. Multistrike was crucial for quickly spreading damage. WIth that gone, many skills feel and are indeed slower.

ED/Contagion *IS* clunky, that contagion -> ED every "pack" is clunky and risky and I'm betting the reason they didn't nerf it. It's the main reason I switched from the build to WOrb last league. The highs and lows of the build is quite frustrating. Contagion -> ED to kill 6 mobs, Contagion...

I forgot you can't use swords. I was questioning wasting the range stat.

Why would you use a Disfavor on an EQ build?

Properly geared, Trickster can rival Jugg in terms of reasonable tankiness. You aren't going to sit in shaper beams, but you'll avoid almost everything thrown your way.

Yeah, I haven't switched to shields yet. Waiting for Zeel's to drop in price a bit. Seems you can't get fortify to proc if you use a wand, but works with daggers and scepters. Forum - Bug Reports - Known Issues & How to Report Bugs - Path of Exile It's on the known issue list.

No build should die 5 times in white maps, post your character. My build, but it's by no means unique. Perfect Form, Solstice Vigil, Zeel's, Allelopathy(will get a Hungry Loop for Blight eventually since ring slot for DoT builds sucks), Atziri's Step, Witchfire Brew. The rest are rares. I'm...

Spells still best. Specifically, ED/Contagion with a special mention for Vaal Ice Nova. The melee reworks looks well done, but it's going to be HARD to try any other build this league.

They added a feature a few patches back that lets you toggle a skill to always attack in place or not. I've not had a use for shift since then.

I've been using this as my flask macro for years, hasn't been an issue. #IfWinActive, Path of Exile ahk_class POEWindowClass XButton1:: Send, 1 Send, 2 Send, 4 Send, 5 Return #IfWinActive, Path of Exile ahk_class POEWindowClass +XButton1:: Send, 1 Send, 2 Send, 4 Send, 5 Return The...

Lacerate? Doesn't it only hit twice?

No, you're right, I'm remembering that now.

Aim assist?

Hopefully you just mean Lightning Trap. That's going to be some awful clear otherwise.

You're right, it's not. But I don't see a lot of people pathing that way unless they're playing staves. Especially since that node won't sustain on single target and you can socket a support on clear if you really need to. Chieftan, on average, will stay one of his usage almost all the time...

I was trying to setup a sandbox on one of our OSX test machine. After a couple hours, I found it impossible to delete what I'm guessing are Apple's stupid version of symbolic links without sudo. The frustration is that I can take the time learn these systems and their nuances and I'll still be...

Yall need a character naming class. 4PM today. @Jonkimble will be my TA.

Smashing Strikes? That's specific to staves.

If it made you feel better, that's only weird on his part the first time. After, he's just learning from experience how to make you happy. If my wife is sad and my dick can make her better, you best believe I'm going press the fuck out of that button.

By using the skill.

I'd say he does phys -> fire conversion builds much better than Jugg.

Am I wrong to think it's stupid to do a DevOps job without root on the machines that are your responsibility?

They're both more multipliers, added damage from lacerate won't matter one bit. I see what you mean now, your comparison is between the two nodes directly relatively to each other. I guess the downside to Blitz is more than people were expecting.

How is Carnage 50% more damage than any other node when it's flat 40% more itself?

You're going to play HC with a known-shitty skill that's just been revamped? Good luck. I honestly don't know what to recommend to you. IIRC, most people try to scale the projectiles with Deadeye. Respeccing is cheaper than releveling after a certain level, probably around 80.

Definitely slayer so you can respec into a real build later.

I haven't tried cauliflower, not a huge fan of it compared to broccoli. And I don't like eating sponges. I've found broccoli very forgiving to roasting since you have a large amount of control of the size of the pieces. Still sucks as a leftover though.

Too easy to fuck up is the issue. Gotta be roasted but just right so that the inside is cooked but the outside isn't burned.

I would only go pure Chieftan if I needed 100% reliable endurance charge generation for Tectonic Slam on bosses. Otherwise, for this kind of build doesn't benefit enough from the other nodes. I'm surprised you're not going Jugg since you're hardcore. That seems to be the melee hardcore default.

Weeb build, invalid. Also, 6 patches old.

This is the kind of build that thrives on continual investment. I'm not sure I'd play the build if MotM or Xoph's Blood were basically unobtainable. I looked into Hybrid instead of CI. I really wish PoB would give me percentages of total EHP, not just life or ES. It makes the just life or...

I hope so, nobody likes a DOA gem. @Xequecal This is my BLS build atm. Obviously it's overtuned in the passive budget, but I don't think that's worth finetuning until PoB is fixed up. Tectonic Slam restricts the Ascendancy choice, otherwise Chieftan/Raider or Berserker/Raider would be viable...

Let me clarify my criteria. When I evaluate a node just on numbers, I look at the EHP and DPS per passive point to acquire it. If DPS/2 + EHP < 2.0%, I generally don't get it. Some builds require special consideration, but that criteria generally works for the most part. Then you thrown in...

No, but if you're going to attach it to a spammable movement skill in the hope of using it as a clear skill, I can see hitting new packs within the cooldown of shockwave.

It's quite easy to get your movement skills fast enough to 3x the speed of that cooldown. I guess it really depends on the size shockwave.

Blind! Frenzy charges aren't worth investing over finding more strength. That's why the ranger area doesn't make sense. No ES nodes(which you generally don't like anyway), jewel socket placement makes it really hard to convert your pathing nodes from dex to str, and the attack nodes still...

What are you going to do for stun immunity though? What skill are you thinking of using? What do you want on the right side of the tree?

A BLS build can easily path by both Utmost str and int nodes, especially if you're going ES. PoB doesn't seem to think it works, but this is also the first passive with increased stat, so could be a bug in PoB. Utmost INT is still worth picking up even if you can't convert the increased. It...
