Lol some of these ultimatum challenge mods are wild. Get fucked archmage I guess?

Fist of war most certainly works with ground slam, and losing the link for the vaal skill hardly matters

This is the most minmaxed reap build I've seen so far and it still looks pathetic

Numbers on vaal ground slam are fucking insane. Should be the best slam starter by quite a lot now if you can deal with it's meh clear. Easy ~15m dps on a full tank champion in trashcan gear. Should clear every map boss and sirus etc without any trouble.

Yea I loaded up the Reap version of PoB and it just doesn't look great. Can get to maybe a million combined Reap DPS without clusters, but that's just not nearly enough to deal with having to self cast and spend HP etc vs just playing cold or chaos dot. At this point I'm either getting sucked...

Best I can spitball for Reap is scion using glad/necro. Get big black, the dot multi from glad, and the split tree allows you not spend too much traveling. Still looks kind of shit?

I can't figure a way to make it work. Reap has the same dot component as ED but like like infinity less scaling options. They added like two new wheels but that just isn't close to enough. I think if you had actual money to work with you could force it by stacking medium clusters, but fuuuuuuck...

Blade blast was slept on for quite a while before people even realized how good it was cause it required more than 1 button press. But yea, I guess bladestorm was fine-ish? Even if it's a bit clunky. How old is lacerate? That's been good since inception. Winter orb wasn't that long ago and was...

Pretty sure reap and friends are a trap. Gonna just be worse than ED due to poor tree support. You might be able to drag them in to end game with heavy cluster jewel use?

Yea it's not idea, but I'm not sure what else there is to do. Trickster seems good but that whole area of the tree is trash for phys spells. You can't convert the dot portion so chieftan is out. Maybe some kind of scion/ascendant is really the way to do it?

Reap numbers look pretty good. Still no idea how you'd scale it or what ascendancy you'd even want. Inquis is probably fine with battlemage for a ton of added phys and some regen to actually cast your insane health cost spells?

I always just use 10 blades in PoB. It's pretty conservative, but it also covers you in a bunch of non-ideal scenarios and tends to be a pretty accurate representation of the low points of you gameplay. My inquisitor las league was at something like 7m dps with 10 blades? And he was basically...

I mean we're already looking at skills derived entirely from your weapon class. To think the system isn't going to change massively is ridiculous. Will cleave and whatever other actual trashcan skills actually ever be relevant for endgame? Who knows, but who cares? A lot of shit like that isn't...

Uh, no. The gem system rework will upend the entire game.

Lol guess I got my trigger craft deletion request. Numbers on vaal ground slam looks fucking retarded? 400% damage, can exert? Jesus fuck that's gonna oneshot everything

Brutality looks like it can support spells now. New phys dots looking pretty spicy.

Lol they nerfed beast farming in parties. This league is gonna rock. Economy in shambles, all hail the new economy.

All plans revolve around reap currently. Maybe bladestorm if the numbers on the bleed they are adding stack up?

Best patch ever just for this

Wave and a curse also shouldn't just be gigantic free piles of damage for the cost of a single affix on your wand though surely? I don't mind spending some gem slots and a hotbar spot on something like storm brand + curse on hit to up your boss dps, but just getting it all for nearly free for...

I dislike automating gameplay as a general rule. It also rules out nearly every unique weapon for many builds because of how insanely powerful it is.

Alright what's your patch wish lists? No QoL or harvest whining, balance only! Delete trigger craft Delete explode chest Fortify only on strike skills now, remove the vigil from the game Remove aura cluster jewels, enough fucking around with minor numbers here and there. Failed experiment...

I personally can't wait for people to forget that if you kill the cow king your character is bricked and can't do cows anymore.

Yea there is 0% chance that showcased pace of play lasts even until the end of the campaign really.

All the new models definitely don't hold up to close inspection They look pretty good in-game though

The purists would reee in to the stratosphere if they did anything like charm inventory or a skill balance pass etc. Unfortunately they are fucked either way because if they do nothing balance/QoL wise people will realize really fucking fast how badly D2 has aged, and just how ridiculous the...

Those both have costs associated with them in that they are trash items aside from the actual explosion itself. The chest mod fits on to a perfect chest roll for every build.

The dev on the podcast after the trailer all but said explodey chest was getting destroyed/removed, but wouldn't just straight say it cause lol spoilers or some bullshit. I'd expect we'll see all the current bleed nodes get changed to phys damage over time, similar to how the cluster jewels are...

I guess if they wanna play a hammer paladin and go run 1500 countesses and try and relive their angsty teenage years then who am I to stop them.

That basically describes base D2 in general: looks like a lot of fun, until you actually try and interact with it.

Depends what the unknown passive does. The others all piled together do basically uh, nothing, so that last unknown one better be something special.

Talismans already could never compete with regular amulets because of influence mods, your argument is invalid. Talismans can't have influence and thus by default can never be better than a non-talisman amulet, so I'm not sure what rare amulets you think would never get used here. Regular...

Nice to get confirmation that it's literally only Chris that keeps HH the way it is. At least the rest of his team isn't retarded, they are just getting cucked by him being a fucking dinosaur in terms of design.

Reward reworks all sound good. This is shit that has needed to happen for a very long time. Lab speed runners on suicide watch. That one dude just lost his fucking fulltime job. Lab trials from offerings makes SSF actually potentially viable for normies. Blood skills look sick. Kinda mad none...

HAHAHA WHAT FUCKING GAME DOES CHRIS PLAY TALISMANS WERE TOO GOOD WITH THE WEIGHTED ROLLS, SAID LITERALLY NO ONE EVER

GET FUCKED BEAST SPLITTING TRADE ECONOMY IS SAVED

This is just peak WOTC and doesn't surprise me one bit. Being a decade late to ape a cancerous fandom is exactly the kind of shit I expect out of them, because most of their staff and their fanbase are literally this:
