No, chaos is worthless.

Overall, the endgame version is probably more than that. But to get started, you just need 3-4 Poet's Pens, Inpulsa's, and some form of leech. You can get that last part from a Berek's Grip, or a corrupted amulet.

@Borzak and anyone else really. I really love this build for mapping and anything not-serious bossing. Probably just Uber Elder at this point. Non-on-demand movement skills kinda hurts it. This is a cold-lighting version of the popular arc/lw PP build. I don't think a guide has been...

Does anyone know how Flicker Strike and Multistrike interacts with frenzy charges generated by hits? For example, I know if you crit your Flicker Strike while wielding a Terminus Est, you only get 1 frenzy charge. But I'm somewhat certain that restriction is only for crits.

You might be waiting a while for that.

Tombfists for bosses, unless you really need those gem slots.

That's less than 8 hours/day, you casual scrub. IDK, you guys are probably right but I haven't had the same problems. In the thread for probably my favorite build so far(lw/arc pp), there's a guy that comes in every few pages and is like "no, you should play this". It's the same guy that...

Is it green? Can I mow it? Is it non hazardous? It's lawn! I might feel different if I didn't have 2 acres to maintain, but I still feel like I wouldn't give a shit. Yard work sucks.

Take a break then, come back when you feel like that last 5% will be less painful. I can't count how many times I've rage quit this game in frustration only to be back later. That may not be the best way to learn, but it did get me to the point where I'm at now. For example, that realization...

2H sword Lacerate is probably "fine". And by fine, I mean you should have been able to work your way into red tier maps easily. It's not a build I would have gone with, but I don't particularly like Lacerate nor 2H builds(too slow). I think sticking with that build would have been fine, or...

Definitely. I'm not creative enough to come up with my own builds but I love tweaking other's. I took daridar's lw/arc pp build and added chill/freeze/blind in a reliable way, huge improvement for survivability. This Apep Flicker build, I'm thinking of dropping voidheart and getting bleed...

Depends on what you plan on doing for challenges. I'm doing 36 and there's surprisingly little needed for boss killing that I already abandoned my Double Strike Jugg(idk, just hated the clear speed/style after getting use to a arc/lw pp elementalist). I'm hoping this Flicker Strike build can...

Gloom Herald of Ice with that crunchy shatter, mmmmm. I know group play is superior, never going to do. I like listening podcasts in the background, alt tabbing to...uh, other stuff. Group play feels tiring. BTW, did you try that Apep Flicker Strike build you posted earlier? I had some...

Herald MTX are the best! Fuck you haters. Also, I don't group with people, so I don't get FPS issues. Unless my Elementalist is blowing up 3 screens of mobs at the same time, but I consider that a badge of honor.

What two builds did you try this league?

I've been messing around with the Apep Flicker Strike build that was posted a few pages back. Fun build, but still level 70 so haven't put it to the grinder at all yet. I really don't like the way that player uses Blade Vortex - Curse On Hit to apply to curses mana reservation free...

Would you say this is for map clearing only? Seems 20% curse effectiveness would really neuter the build on bosses.

I want to use poe.ninja's build database to see if the build I posted previously is actually something new(haha!) or I just came up with something that won't work or is already popular. I figure elementalist, poet's pen, call of the brotherhood(not *strictly* required) and pandemonius should be...

Golden Rule will still inflict reflected poison/bleed on the original target? That's counter intuitive. I guess Apep's Slumber is interesting in that it prevents damage from the self-inflicted bleed, but was that really that much damage to begin with? I guess I'm missing what's interesting...

There is. Post your character name(I think, not account name) and someone will get you eventually.

It's corrupted, how are you going to scour it?

No surprise that you get bored as gear progression asymptotes. Find something else to progress. Alts, achievements, atlas, etc. I find it very important to have a concrete overall goal for each league otherwise you just end up bored and resentful when the gear progression inevitably slows. My...

Making an Indigon build? I've never had the ambition to make a build that expensive. Though, MS helm enchant and Xophs Blood might have come close to 20 exalts.

Some people like to farm for farming's sake. I don't pretend to understand this motivation, but hey, whatever floats your boat. You can do almost everything in this game without some intense farming grind.

In case you don't read reddit(what, it's a good time killer at work).

So glad the achievement is for upgrading that room, not actually killing her. Her flameblasts sure seem like Uber Atziri.

My disinterest in the Kharkanas trilogy has nothing to do with them being prequels. It's largely more philosophical waxing and waning. What started with Toll The Hounds has just continued to ramp up. The series largely turned out ok because it had huge momentum. But as a whole, I thought it...

Has D3 changed at all in the last few seasons?

Sure, but that's quite the journey to get both. Is this something CI builds usually do?

VP is for slayers, that's it.

I'm certainly not as experience with building casters. Here's my conundrum. HoT(unsupported) and HoI(3 suppports) is ~57% reservation on an Elementalist. I'm not really using that remaining mana and I don't even need mana leech because the build is flexible enough to put blood magic on its...

Hmmm, I'll give that a try. Usually when I try HoI by itself, it's not enough to get freezes, but that's usually on attack builds. For what it's worth, in my setup, Essence Worm - Wrath and CoTB is more damage than Elder Opal and Mark of The Shaper. Definitely would want a Warlord's Mark on...

Yeah, I told @a_skeleton_03 to drop AoE nodes but now I see they might be more important. I'd love to know what the base radius on Inpulsa's and HoI is. Did you mean AoE passives, or AoE support? CoTB is required unfortunately, I need some cold damage on arc to start the chill and freeze...

Tomorrow's 175c ex.

So, I took this build Forum - Witch - [3.3] Teleports Behind You - Poet's Pen Lightning Warp & Arc, MF / Facetank t16 / Shaper / U. Elder - Path of Exile And improved it. But I haven't tested it yet, feedback welcome. The idea was to take a typical Blade Vortex build and a Lightning PP build...

Note that he's not saying he doesn't know why...

Also, the pathing on shield charge fucking blows. So good in some maps, so shitty in others. It should get the same treatment cyclone did. I can generally get good rhythm going with other movement skills, even one with (I suspect) just as shitty pathing like whirling blades. It's just that...

FWIW, I was toying around with Blade Vortex tonight. Very similar build with the bonus of freeze but the downside of having to maintain Blade Vortex. I couldn't stomach maintaining Blade Vortex, so now trying to find a way to do a Poet's Pen/Inpulsa's/Lightning Warp build but also freezes...

Looks fine for the most part. HoI is not worth the mana reservation, it does negligible damage in this build. You want arcane surge with orb of storms anyway. I've seen some setups use flame dash to get their arcane surge, seems ok to do that too. I'm personally not a fan of the frenzy on...

Yes: I don't see a pastebin.
