Path of Exile

Starter(Crackling Lance Ignite Elementalist) is petering out and I don't get the feeling like investing more into it is a good idea. Clear is good, but I'm not sure they can ever do enough to Crackling Lance to make standing still 4 times in a row worthwhile.

Maw of Mischief Ignite is a ton more clunkier than I imagined. Berek's Respite does not make the clear good enough, only passable. And you're still waiting for those idiot minions to catch up to you, like every other minion build.

Someone give me their OP clearing and bossing and tanky build in one. I don't want separate builds for both.

Kinda like what this guy is doing here.


Apparently back in 3.15 they changed Archmage so that it can support triggered spells. With the buff spells but the nerf almost every method to cheat their cast time, this guy put together one of the few ways that doesn't gimp their per-hit damage. Yes, Poet's Pen got a trigger rate nerf, but I highly doubt you could sustain a 150ms proc rate at 100+ mana per proc. I have no idea how to calculate this guy's dps, PoB doesn't really seem up to the task either.

I don't think he goes far enough. Why not stick a 6L orb of storms in there? With how fast you use lightning spells, you might be able to chew through all of its strikes on cooldown.

I wonder if this can be used for BF/BB...Was this explored before? Poet's Pen, Archmage Support, Kitava's Thirst all existed, mechanically, the same before this patch. Just damage numbers changed.

I’m fucking way behind and figured this would happen. Might try to zoom last acts today. Still in the middle of bringing a plant online. I log in then sit on the phone and data historian most of the time. Fantastic.

Physical trapper and I’m already fucking annoyed at trap arming time.

Sunblast belt and two hair trigger jewels. Mechanics that depend on traps targeting enemies might suffer though. I've never personally played it. Balormage reduced arming time to 0 through cluster jewels last league and was somehow still generated frenzies and power charges.

As someone with a potato computer, perhaps it would be best to summarize what are the best settings. Usually I can figure these out myself as games are intuitive in what settings are performance vs cost. PoE is bizarro world where who the fuck knows. I couldn't do Delirium last league, it was a stuttery mess. Now it's no worse than anything else. Which is nominally playable, but still not great.

No, there's a few ascendancy points that grant skills. Like the Necromancer gets Bone Armor, which is basically Steelskin but also applies to your minions. If you got that ascendancy point from those jewels, you didn't get Bone Armor.

The key is to get a job that lets you binge PoE while still accomplishing a modicum of work.

Or learn to be a responsible and disciplined adult and don't let that shit distract you.





I'm not sure which one of those is more difficult, haven't accomplished either!.
