Does herald of thunder actually leech ES or trigger spell-hit ES gain? Isn't it an actual minion type thing doing all the lightning blasts?

Yea multistrike doesn't have that weird lockstep feel anymore, that's been gone since the melee rework. At this point I have to assume they just don't have the technical knowledge to address performance? Game is what, 8 years old, and still chugs under any kind of intense map load? What does it...

Outside the explodey chest, not really. Crafting is more of "what item do I want/need", then figuring out the fastest and most likely route to create said item, rather than a "what item can I make" type of setup if that makes sense. If you're looking for things to just try and craft purely for...

This was like Crank and Evil dead had some kind of weird mutated Finnish lovechild. It's fuckin great.

SSF is viable if you don't mind playing meta skills. Even then it requires a level of time investment that people not playing this game as their job aren't really comfortable with. You can easily get cucked for weeks on lab trials/6l, and god forbid you want to try a build that requires a...

Basically the final form of the battlemage inquisitor. Any further upgrades are pretty unreasonably expensive aside from fixing the large cluster jewel, but so far it's stomped all endgame content with ease. The defensive setup of corrupted soul/soul tether/pious path is just a crazy amount of...

You can still buy all the gamestop you want via robinhood if you buy any random call and exercise it. The limit is 100% artificial and is trying to slow down the inevitable squeeze.

Lord no lol. I sold Monday morning for modest gains and am staying far as fuck away. No idea how legit it is, but the imagine has been downloaded/uploaded so many times it's probably impossible to tell if it was doctored.

There's a dropdown in PoB to change the enemy type to a shaper/guardian. The biggest difference is those mobs have a big chunk of elemental resistance/armor compared to normal mobs. If you want to be honest about it you also want to untick your flasks, and often times your...

Is this what finally triggers the boogaloo? Hundreds of thousands of angry autists trying to buy gamestop and getting cucked as big money circles the wagons to lock them out?

Hacker problem always existed but was relatively small, because the game was relatively small. The entire game operates on a client-trust model, so it will basically always be a thing. A year ago when their first big Twitch drop campaign happened and Tarkov had 300k+ viewers on Twitch the game...

Retail *usually* doesn't have anywhere near this kind of power. The short position against gamestop was so retarded it borders on being illegal, that's the only reason this is actually working (at least so far)

1000$ isn't a meme. Friday is going to be an entire chapter in econ books for the next generations lol. The amount of hubris these fundies have doubling/tripling their short positions in the face of this is amazing to me. Like they actually can't even comprehend that this could be possible and...

Performance is actually pathetic and they should be embarrassed how bad it's gotten. Every patch is worse than the last without fail. You basically cannot build a better machine than I have currently (5800x/3090) and the game still drops under 60fps during some maps (mostly rituals and big fat...

I use both, ALL THE BLADES. But for real it doesn't really matter all that much. Unleash feels less shitty to me than the hard lock that echo does for whatever reason, so I've stuck with unleash. For general clear you don't even cast blade blast that often, and casting 0-1 seal bladefalls is...

In the world of harvest crafting an influence items, probably? There's not a lot a regular rare can roll to be worth more than a handful of chaos at this point. I still grab premium bases here and there and leave it all in a huge quad tab and then i'll pick through it a bit for gear for rerolls...

I've played like 3 leagues now without any trade macro/addon, AMA. It's really not that bad once you've played a few leagues and have a feel for what good items look like. 99% of everything you find is trash and you're just wasting time trying to trade macro it. People also pick up way too much...

Thanks dude, very curious to see what chief vs inquis looks like. @Deathwing this is my current pious path inquis nonsense here. Main features are that life regen applies to ES, which seems to bypass the soul tether "no regen" clause cause I guess it's not technically ES regen? So it double...

Fossils are 3W max, then Vorici or harvest for the rest. They mass produce the bases once 6l/6w via beast split and then just stamp them out by the dozens with big fatty 4 socket resonator rolls. Anything that rolls anything interesting gets sold, maybe slammed with a harvest if it has...

Yea ice sphere sure sounds like a lot of work just to get back the old functionality of not having to melee the boss, on a now all-around mediocre skill heh. Does molten strike actually bring anything to the table to be worth jumping through the hoops? With the way the balls work now I don't...

Tribal fury doesn't do anything for MS damage anymore - it divides total extra proj amongst all targets hit now. It probably helps for clear a bit still? I don't think you can count on the old calculators for single target anymore for the extra balls given the way they spread out now no? With...

You just hit the sphere with frost blades and it essential becomes a ranged skill, removing any need to be anywhere near enemies:

Seen some people doing that with frost blades + hydro sphere to basically just turn it in to elemental hit. Not sure if molten strike functions even as well as frost blades these days though heh.

Yea running ignite arma brand elementalist. Even with a full cluster setup my ignite DPS only makes it to like ~850k shaper, and that's counting on lightning golem procing EE for me via malachais ring, so it really just doesn't feel worth the investment to get to mediocre boss DPS. Rather just...

Heh I was messing with deadeye in POB some after they added rupture support, but couldn't quite get it where I wanted it to be. Think I wanna try inquis with the new battlemage nonsense? Life regen applying to ES sounds nuts with a vaal timeless jewel for that corrupted soul node, could easily...

I'm on a 3090 and 5800x build and game still drops below 60fps during rituals and other areas. Performance is a complete joke and is probably worse than it's ever been. Arma brand char is at the point now where I could come close to like doubling my DPS by buying a large/2xmedium cluster jewel...

Anyone got any idea what I'm supposed to be doing for this Maven shit? I've tried maps of every tier I have in valdo's from 1-7, socketed and unsocketed watchstones, and I can't get it to actually progress the boss fight bar at all? She's shown up nowhere else on my atlas yet and I've got no...

Got like ~430k shaper DPS with arma brand now, which doesn't sound like much but I'm pretty surprised how well it's scaling heh. Can probably make it to 650 or so with some better gear/gem flipping/awakened gems? For how nuts my clear speed is it's not bad at all, and I'm relatively tanky with...

So what is your bros opinion on what to do with a duped skill book? I've got a book from A5 in my inventory and the quest reward waiting to be claimed again after a crash/rollback. Thick it'll actually give me another passive? Or is it just gonna brick my char somehow lol.

Gonna go elementalist ignite something or other I think. Maybe scorching ray? Maybe arma brand? Fireball as backup when nothing else does any real damage? Maybe even fit in archmage using the always ignite node? Who knows!

It's the same play style as bladefall + blade blast. It's only 2 buttons, not sure why everyone rags on it as being clunky.

He's easily in positive regen territory just with a quick glance here from stone golem regen alone. It scales up a ton with 4 golems up, and all your defenses reduce RF damage as said above. Elementalist shield won't help with RF since the aegis stuff is from hits only. Even still this build...

Even with trinity the math just looks awful for wild strike still heh, so raider probably isn't happening. May just take the easy route and go elementalist ignite something or other?

Ice nova specifically says repeats of it cast on frostbolt will be cast there, it works the same way with regular spell go too. It just repeats/pulses on the projectiles. But yea even 75% more cast speed seems like it'd be hard pressed to be more damage than pledge of hands is.

Hrm, odd they'd go out of their way to make them 100% convert then with pathfinder if it doesn't even do anything. Sorta nice for phys reflect I guess? Anyone come up for anything reasonable for battlemage inquis junk? Closest I can figure is spellslinger icebolt and selfcasting ice nova at...

The base poison damage is phys+chaos from the initial hit right? If you've got a big pile of +chaos damage all over the tree why wouldn't having a larger initial chaos hit from that last 10% conversion mean bigger poisons? Obviously yea the poison itself already has all the chaos scaling, but...

Better chaos scaling on that last 10% that was unconverted baby
