    Before I forget: elusive scaling is kind of ass these days. It's too unreliable since you spend so much time <100 elusive effect. I'd strongly consider bailing on nightblade support and any associated elusive scaling you have to save more points. Crit damage support or ele penetration will be...

    Your tree is a mess. There's extraneous points left over near precise technique from when I assume you respeced to be crit, as well as up near ghost dance for some reason? Clean up all those extra points and pathing and take forces of nature + enemy resist inversion mastery, that alone is like...

    Yea I did teeth/bone last season and its ability to spam chaos runs was unrivaled I'm actually gonna have to bail on vengeance and respec to fist of heavens I think - the combination of having trash resists + no freeze immune + dealing with melee desync and accuracy is just not worth...

    My NDA/non-compete ended March 1st from my old job (as if it was actually enforceable), so I'm now technically a bit over a month in to my job search. It's pretty bleak so far. I had a couple of early interviews at places that wanted way more Windows experience than I was expecting so those...

    Yea this started as an ephemeral edge build but the 1.3 base attack rate was just misery to play with. The main reason I'm even looking to get rid of HOWA is the attack rate still heh. Energy blade is interesting - its got better attack rate and dropping to ~5k ES probably isn't that huge of a...

    While we're on about melee junk, current project is trickster int stack HOWA nonsense: https://pobb.in/SelnvjP9aE5u I'm the fattest asshole in the world and it's pretty difficult to actually die, but the damage is severely lacking so far. I'm not really sure if the problem is wild strike...

    Yea the new dual strike is the poster child of melee being totally fine as long as you have like 7-10 attacks per second. It's as melee as you can get and relies on the pathetic inherent splash and extra strikes to clear, but it does these things totally fine and feels plenty smooth because it...

    Yea but where's the line on what counts as a melee skill? Wild strike is a 'melee' skill, a strike even, and looks just as absurd as that bow spam does. Lightning strike and frostblades are both also strikes and explode the screen just as much. Like yes heavy strike sucks major dick, but who...

    Yea this looks about like the same idea. I like this guys tree a lot more than mine tho - I spent way more points over in the templar area and didn't do all that travel down there for suppress. The trap throw speed was the biggest downside by far though. It's abysmally slow, and your best...

    Uh, maybe? I don't watch any of the twitch nerds besides Mathil It's the same idea as the old vortex ignite setups tho - cold to fire in the frostblink link combined with the elementalist ignite node makes some huge initial hits for some pretty large ignites. It's better than I'm making it...

    I was on firestorm for quite a while until eventually switching to fire trap + frostblink. Frostblinks damage isn't the best but it's enough to clear maps and using it offensively to dive in to or near packs means the cooldown is like <.5s usually. Fire trap for the tankier stuff and bosses...

    It's more of a problem with every passing league too. Trying to actually attack with a skill is such a suckers bet right now, or even self cast some generic spell like crackling lance.

    You use both at the same time you dorks. The point with multi totem support is it adds +2 to your totem limit, bring it to 3 total. So with both totems linked to multi totem you press Q to drop warchief, making 2 warchiefs, then press W to drop 2 protectors which is 4 totems total and 1 over...

    Yea the actual commissioned path looks pretty fucking lucrative. It's a long commitment but if the paperwork backs up what they claim and I can leave OCS at a decent rank it seems like it could be a cool opportunity. I've got no wife or kids to worry about currently either, so could end up...

    Because they had to scramble and combine two sets in to one for this. There was supposed to be another micro-set called Big Score after the main set, but they tried that with brothers war and it failed so miserably they panicked and crowbared this in to one big release.

    The performance in general is pretty rough these days. I'm on a 5800x3d and a 3090 and regularly see frame issues playing at 1440p. The new level-up fire explosion MTX especially just hitches the entire game noticeably. God help you if you wanna do juiced delirium content or whatever.

    So at the ultra high end there's some interesting stuff to do with the graveyard, but it requires such unrealistic combinations of corpses that no but TFT or other crafting cabals will ever do it. If you're willing/able to assemble the correct ~70 corpses you can do some shit like print 14...
