thorny token well you still need flat for potcg still from somewhere

runes

#

makes it very very easy

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 3:54 AM

#

and if potcg actually scales stomping ground

#

then its not the worst idea ever

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 3:55 AM

#

i can test

#

well

#

it means u have to use gathering storm

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 3:55 AM

#

balmy fable makes it very very easy

yea but thats still not like 300-600 flat right

snow sierra Dec 23, 2024, 3:55 AM

dos rarety work on minion builds ?

soft lake Dec 23, 2024, 3:55 AM

Stomping Grounds is 80-120% of your strength as flat

i mean where u gonna get that much

Yeah, per step

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 3:56 AM

#

soft lake Stomping Grounds is 80-120% of your strength as flat

yea i was also accounting for skill DE

#

that skills normally have

soft lake Dec 23, 2024, 3:56 AM

#

Well Stomping Ground is its own trigger, it doesn't add it as flat

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 3:56 AM

#

yea

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 3:57 AM

#

ill test it rq on my monk

#

how it interacts with gathering storm

soft lake Dec 23, 2024, 3:57 AM

#

I don't know if you actually get anything from PotCG with Stromping Ground, thinking about it

#

Because it's not dealing weapon damage

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 3:58 AM

#

soft lake Because it's not dealing weapon damage

no but

#

u have to str stack for both

#

question is is stomping ground ON ITS OWN enough damage

#

i guess u can do the same setup shout builds are doing

#

and use a weapon swap totem setup

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 3:58 AM

#

doesnt tempest flurry also work btw

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 3:58 AM

#

for bossing

soft lake Dec 23, 2024, 3:58 AM

Yeah, they scale similarly, they just won't multiply each other

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 3:58 AM

you do the feet thingy with it a bunch

same issue as rolling slam on warrior

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 3:59 AM

theres like 2 skills total you could really use it with

sacred field Dec 23, 2024, 3:59 AM

#

Hey so ive just got the game and kinda skimming the web for build ideas and genraly trying to learn as much as i can so i dont dive in blind.

Im currently curious on the 2 acendancy options for the witch. Most of the builds i see seem to use infernalist for minion builds.

What im wondering is how the two stack up with eachother in general. And if blood mage is not good for minions what does the blood mage acendancy do well?

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 3:59 AM

#

idk why you cant pu stomping ground on tat thing

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 3:59 AM

#

stampede and gathering storm

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 3:59 AM

#

thorny token idk why you cant pu stomping ground on tat thing

theres a lot you SHOULD be able to put it on but cant

#

im gonna test with gathering storm

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 4:01 AM

#

sacred field Hey so ive just got the game and kinda skimming the web for build ideas and genr...

blood mage doesnt rly do anything well atm imo other than sme meme setups

#

mostly because life is super underpowered

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 4:01 AM

#

man

#

so if u str stack

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 4:01 AM

#

so caster ascendancy based around life just doesnt rly work

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 4:01 AM

#

u also go es? lul

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 4:01 AM

#

i mean you can stay life on str stack but why would you :d

#

ideal scenario you are doing adorned with jewels anyway

#

jewels that have op es affixes too

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 4:02 AM

#

okay

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 4:02 AM

add timeless on top as well

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 4:02 AM

stomping ground is unusable with gathering storm

you have plenty of time on most bosses to perfect strike, just click life flask if you have to and tank a hit

soft lake Dec 23, 2024, 4:03 AM

#

sacred field Hey so ive just got the game and kinda skimming the web for build ideas and genr...

Infernalist getting more spirit is good for minions - more spirit means you can have more minions. Plus it has some decent defensive options.

Blood Mage has some physical spell stuff that can be strong, but it feels a bit lacklustre at the moment as an ascendancy and doesn't have the build variety I think it should. It can work, even at end-game levels, but I wouldn't recommend it for now (and I expect it to be buffed in the future).

Even with buffs to Blood Mage, I think Infernalist will be better suited to minions, though. Buffing your own crit damage/chance and getting leech don't do anything for your minions so the ascendancy doesn't have too much to offer

ur gonna get screwed over if it doesnt refresh the cd tho

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 4:12 AM

i mean theree salso that forced cd reset on chrono no

and you obviously also play normal crossbow skill on side

for clear and in between i guess

scenic dawn Dec 23, 2024, 4:12 AM

theres a reasonw hy ppl would rather just convert rod to cold

scenic dawn Dec 23, 2024, 4:14 AM

thorny token theres a reasonw hy ppl would rather just convert rod to cold

I mean get the ring that converts all lightning to cold

That’d be easier than adding a cold gem to it

yes obviously you use the ring

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 4:16 AM

probably shit for bossing tho

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 4:27 AM

#

but its fair there isnt exactly ton of variety :d

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 4:27 AM

#

cuz its only 1 bolt per enemy

#

so youd have to go ballistas for bossing

#

i guess

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 4:27 AM

#

yea you def need single target skill

#

ballistas def arent single target skill

#

they do like no damage

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 4:28 AM

#

then what is lul

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 4:28 AM

#

siege is fire right

#

rapid shot

#

big damage also big pain to use but kinda fun

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 4:28 AM

#

i guess question is do i bother retooling my chayula monk to do this

#

or scrap it and do something else

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 4:29 AM

#

chayula probs one of the worst ascendancies ngl

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 4:29 AM

#

i went it for old trickster ele as chaos

#

with cluster grenades

#

since they rapid hit

#

but uh

#

clusters are actual dogshit

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 4:29 AM

#

yea they also nerfed the breach thingy

#

before release i think

#

and darkness nodes are actually useless

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 4:30 AM

#

like my league starter

#

was old trickster X as Chaos + cluster grenade

#

ended up very bad

#

clusters do zdps

#

idk how they fucked them up so bad

#

but they actually do less than a single scattershot explosive grenade

#

on 4x the cd

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 4:31 AM

#

lol

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 4:31 AM

so if i want to do siege cascade

#

what ascendancy do i even go

#

do i just go ranger

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 4:31 AM

#

deadeye

#

you insta stack tailwind wih rapid fire pretty much

#

kinda op

#

and +1 arrows are funny with crossbows

#

i think with siege you get double hit most likely

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 4:32 AM

#

im ngl im kinda annoyed theres like... 4 viable ascendancies total

#

well maybe 6

#

both warriors, both rangers, infernalist, and invoker

#

half the shit they added is just bad

#

tbf i guess if i go ranger

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 4:33 AM

#

both mercs are pretty good too

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 4:33 AM

#

i can decide later whether to go poison or this

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 4:33 AM

are they?

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 4:41 AM

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 4:41 AM

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 4:41 AM

astral willow Dec 23, 2024, 4:42 AM

#

ghostwrithe

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 4:42 AM

#

you arent gonna have any leech

scenic dawn Dec 23, 2024, 4:42 AM

#

Ghost shroud is honestly hella strong for 30 spirit

dusky rivet Dec 23, 2024, 4:42 AM

#

What is more important on a crossbow - the pdps or the max phys damage range? essentially, would a crossbow of 480 pdps & a range of 130-350 or a 465 pdps & a range of 115-400 be better?

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 4:42 AM

#

no dont use ghostwrithe on eva build pls

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 4:42 AM

#

thorny token you arent gonna have any leech

wtf u do for sustain then, just get some life flask gain on belt?

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 4:42 AM

#

balmy fable wtf u do for sustain then, just get some life flask gain on belt?

yes

#

life flasks are op

#

just click 1 life flask node done

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 4:42 AM

#

ya they do seem to be

snow sierra Dec 23, 2024, 4:42 AM

#

Ghostwrithe donst work very well on eva builds, its insane on block builds tho

#

with Ci

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 4:42 AM

#

thorny token just click 1 life flask node done

ya i guess

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 4:42 AM

#

and as i said earlier grim feast is op with eva, you stay at double your es most of the time in map

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 4:42 AM

#

maybe ill give it a try

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 4:43 AM

#

with avoidance

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 4:43 AM

#

dissappointing that that's the only build i feel like playing but whatever

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 4:43 AM

#

and eventually you want to go ci on deadeye too

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 4:43 AM

#

o ya how IS stormcaller arrow? it looks cool

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 4:43 AM

#

even tough its super cringe

#

but it is what it is

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 4:43 AM

#

balmy fable o ya how IS stormcaller arrow? it looks cool

its fine, doesnt beat rod or gets even close

#

just utility shock thingy otherwise

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 4:43 AM

#

thorny token its fine, doesnt beat rod or gets even close

ya but isnt rod clunky as fuck

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 4:43 AM

#

but it does shock super reliably

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 4:43 AM

#

im ngl i dislike that theres like

#

1 viable skill for hit bows

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 4:43 AM

#

balmy fable ya but isnt rod clunky as fuck

nah its not

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 4:44 AM

#

makes me madge

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 4:44 AM

#

well

#

it is without cast on shock

#

actual torture to paly

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 4:44 AM

#

shockchain arrow looks neat as well i guess

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 4:44 AM

#

but it is what it is

snow sierra Dec 23, 2024, 4:44 AM

#

i honstly cant the Grim Feast and the conversion items staying this way

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 4:44 AM

#

thorny token it is without cast on shock

didnt cast on shock get nerfed to shit

snow sierra Dec 23, 2024, 4:44 AM

#

that cant be intented

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 4:44 AM

#

balmy fable didnt cast on shock get nerfed to shit

only for clear

#

you only care about rod for big shit anyway

#

otherwise you can always just LA

#

(and by LA i mean clearing wit heralds)

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 4:45 AM

#

lmao that sounds boring as shit hoooly

#

i assume shockchain arrow is dogshit

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 4:45 AM

#

snow sierra that cant be intented

ES is overtuned it wont stay

#

grim feast will be a lot less broken when ES wont be overtuned

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 4:45 AM

#

well

snow sierra Dec 23, 2024, 4:45 AM

#

ye but i think its because of grim feast and the conversion items

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 4:45 AM

#

maybe ill play siege cascade deadeye then

#

for now

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 4:45 AM

#

and also when the sanctum grim feast thiny gets fixed

#

lul

#

grim feast actual free sanctum

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 4:46 AM

#

balmy fable maybe ill play siege cascade deadeye then

benefit is also deadeye has bunch of builds and good position on tree

#

even if you get bored of siege cascade

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 4:46 AM

#

thorny token even if you get bored of siege cascade

eh its more well over half the archetypes and skills in the game right now are boring as fuck

normal fable Dec 23, 2024, 4:46 AM

#

Widow spark sorc just better than normal spark sorc?

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 4:47 AM

#

balmy fable eh its more well over half the archetypes and skills in the game right now are b...

crossbows so fun tho and i hate a lot of design choices in this game

#

but crossbows so well designed

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 4:48 AM

#

thorny token crossbows so fun tho and i hate a lot of design choices in this game

ya i just hadnt found a crossbow skill i liked outside grenades, but siege cascade actually looks and feels cool so ill do that i guess

#

theres a reason i started xbows tho yeah

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 4:48 AM

#

can also go blueflame on top

#

for freezes

#

gud build

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 4:48 AM

#

blueflame?

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 4:49 AM

#

100% fire to cold gloves

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 4:49 AM

#

oooh

#

yeah that might be worth doing

#

and then just rapid shot for bossing

#

or whatever

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 4:49 AM

#

yea

dreamy portal Dec 23, 2024, 4:49 AM

#

anybody got a leveling guide/tree for stat stacking gemling?

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 4:49 AM

#

oh even though i guess they thought of that lul

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 4:49 AM

#

be cool if u could make siege cascade work for bosses but idt you can

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 4:49 AM

#

on siege cascade

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 4:49 AM

#

o rip

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 4:50 AM

#

can still freeze bosses with rapid fire i guess but yea

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 4:50 AM

#

im ngl this is the stuff thats lame like

#

no fun allowed i guess

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 4:50 AM

#

yea theres some annoying stuff

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 4:50 AM

#

can u convert fire to lightning

#

idt u can huh

#

cuz getting shock would be neat

#

ignite is kinda just

#

not useful imo

snow sierra Dec 23, 2024, 4:51 AM

#

Anyone here has experience with detonate death ?

calm orchid Dec 23, 2024, 4:53 AM

#

Can you anoint an item more than once

snow sierra Dec 23, 2024, 4:53 AM

#

yes

calm orchid Dec 23, 2024, 4:53 AM

#

snow sierra Anyone here has experience with detonate death ?

It’s very insane

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 4:53 AM

#

well have u played rapid shot/siege cascade @thorny token

snow sierra Dec 23, 2024, 4:53 AM

#

i know its good, but i wanna know if its good without crit, all bloodmage builds do crit scaling cant rly do that on chronomancer

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 4:53 AM

#

weaker than decompose templarthumbsup

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 4:53 AM

#

ill give it a go i guess and let u know how it is if u want

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 4:53 AM

#

balmy fable well have u played rapid shot/siege cascade <@317319692823953409>

i played rapid shot and explo arrow

#

for a bit but only for leveling

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 4:54 AM

#

thorny token i played rapid shot and explo arrow

ah okay, explo arrow looks very good

#

ya im curious how itll work endgame

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 4:54 AM

#

it is great skill

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 4:54 AM

#

should scale i guess

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 4:54 AM

#

wowuld heavily recommend

#

and because crossbows work like barrages

#

with extra arrow you slap scattershot anddeadeye on top

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 4:54 AM

#

i mean at least siege cascade looks good

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 4:54 AM

#

and it just goes fat boom

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 4:54 AM

#

idk like a lot of skills just look and feel unsatisfying

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 4:55 AM

#

thorny token and because crossbows work like barrages

wait ur talking det arrow right

#

or diff skill

#

oh wait

#

explode like the uh

#

detonator

#

its okay

#

i cant really tell how good it is because i was using it just for booming grenades

#

which was fine

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 4:55 AM

#

explode crossbow arrow

#

idk whats the name

#

exploding rounds

#

or some shit

#

try linking scattershot to it in hideout

#

and just right clicking

#

will feel great i promise :d

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 4:56 AM

#

yeah

#

i use that w/ grenades

#

starting chaos monk was a mistake tho

#

i got baited by old trickster chaos

#

lmao

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 4:56 AM

#

chaos monk looked op at first glance

#

then we actually got to experience how leech works

#

and it did not looked as op anymore

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 4:57 AM

#

yup

#

i guess that's the point of a beta

#

still annoyign tho

#

but yeah

#

reroll into blood mage only got as far as act 2

#

before i realized how bad bleed and ignite are lul

#

so i guess im rerolling again to deadeye

#

shield skills are bad too from what i hear sadly

snow sierra Dec 23, 2024, 4:58 AM

#

alot of bloodmages playing DD cause they can use a level 7 skill :x its kinda silly

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 4:59 AM

#

blood mage is just not good

#

any caster outside archmage is not good

#

imo

#

and i cbf to play archmage

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 4:59 AM

#

decompose is technically a caster templarthumbsup

snow sierra Dec 23, 2024, 4:59 AM

#

it is for detonate death, but that skill is hella clunky

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 5:00 AM

#

thorny token decompose is technically a caster <:templarthumbsup:453984469079162880>

isnt that the jank ass walking gas cloud thing

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 5:00 AM

#

yes

snow sierra Dec 23, 2024, 5:00 AM

#

yes

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 5:00 AM

#

ya ill pass LUL

#

im gonna try this siege cascade meme

#

with rapid shot

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 5:00 AM

#

its mostly fine you just have to kill white mobs with shit like hexblast to start the chain every so often

#

and hexblast is trash skill so biggest reason why i dropped the build

#

also most setups ppl are doing for decompose are garbage too so that doesnt help

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 5:01 AM

#

sounds annoying to play

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 5:01 AM

#

it is but bossing is chill you just walk in circle :d

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 5:01 AM

#

looool

snow sierra Dec 23, 2024, 5:01 AM

#

Or you get minions

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 5:01 AM

#

also dense maps are chil you just walk in straight line

snow sierra Dec 23, 2024, 5:01 AM

#

and auto kill them

#

with the boots

#

lol

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 5:01 AM

#

snow sierra Or you get minions

you cant decompose insta eats them so cant ue that for clear

#

thats what you do for bosses tho

#

only downside decompose has over dd cant use clerics at all

#

but it does double damage and has full screen aoe so i would still rather play decompose over dd

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 5:02 AM

#

idk annoying builds are kinda not my thing LMAO

#

like i said im going to try siege cascade deadeye

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 5:03 AM

#

just dont level with crossbows until you get explo shot

#

if you want to keep your sanity imo :d

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 5:03 AM

#

shockchain isnt bad iirc

#

ill prob level with uh

#

stormcaller arrow tho

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 5:04 AM

#

i just did LA/oos/rod until explo shot

#

i actively dislike rod oos its so annoying

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 5:04 AM

#

oos works with attacks?

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 5:04 AM

#

but gotta do what you gotta do

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 5:04 AM

#

balmy fable oos works with attacks?

everthing that chains works with rod

#

and some stuf fthat doesnt chain also works

#

like BL being bugged with it

#

but yea benefit of oos rod is you basically just one shot most of act bosses if you do your weapon upgrades :d

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 5:06 AM

#

weapon upgrades are obnoxious af lul

#

but yeah

#

i should still have some leveling xbows from my monk

#

dno about normal bows

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 5:07 AM

#

can just buy one for every 5 levels if you can be bothered :d

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 5:07 AM

#

true enough, exalt drops are plentiful if u arent an actual slug

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 5:07 AM

#

yea and you will save the time wasted on trading by tenfold anyway by doing that

#

well have to do also quivers i guess they are even more important than bows i feel like

#

with the quiver node early

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 5:09 AM

#

which quiver node

torn root Dec 23, 2024, 5:09 AM

#

do tempest bells ring eachother

#

?

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 5:09 AM

#

well

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 5:09 AM

#

#

80% quiver effect

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 5:09 AM

#

id prob swap to xbow as fast as possible, cuz iirc xbow is very nice

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 5:09 AM

#

crossbow just doesnt have that many great skills until explo shot

#

imo

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 5:09 AM

#

id have to look at the tiers

#

iirc shockchain bolts is quite nice

#

though honestly

#

can probably level with stormcaller + shockchain arrow

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 5:10 AM

#

galvanic shards you mean?

#

as that one is kinda deceptive

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 5:10 AM

#

yeah that one i think

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 5:10 AM

#

the intitial part of it only converts 40% to lightning

#

so if you are clicking lightning nodes its kinda ass

#

for damage

#

good clear at any point of the game tho

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 5:11 AM

#

nah youd go proj nodes wouldnt u

#

if ur ranger start

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 5:11 AM

#

but as long as theres like only 1 enemy it does like nothing

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 5:11 AM

#

actually i guess there are some lightning nodes but eh

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 5:11 AM

#

yea there are lightning ndoes very very close

#

and elemental

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 5:11 AM

#

id just go raw proj/xbow damage nodes

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 5:11 AM

#

harness and surgin veyr good

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 5:11 AM

#

or bow damage

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 5:12 AM

#

you def arent clicking any crossbow nodes on deadeye btw

#

ever

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 5:12 AM

#

why not

#

arent they decent

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 5:12 AM

#

not worth pathing to

#

and they arent even decent imo

#

instant reload is only good one but you can get reload speed elsewhere and attack/skill speed also scales reload speed

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 5:12 AM

#

so what do u take then, just raw proj and attack nodes?

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 5:12 AM

#

and deadeye gives you ton of that alreayd

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 5:13 AM

#

balmy fable so what do u take then, just raw proj and attack nodes?

proj attack elemental

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 5:13 AM

#

ah yeah okay so generic scaling

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 5:13 AM

#

herald

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 5:13 AM

#

are the herald nodes worthwhile?

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 5:13 AM

#

they are very strong

#

well coming calamity is only herald node pretty much anwyay

#

but yea itsa lot of damage

#

this is my planned tree for uh shockburst/plasma for example

#

with fire to cold you just clickt he cold pen and freeze instead

little river Dec 23, 2024, 5:14 AM

#

What’s the best minion build endgame? Can’t do breach using my arsonist. Kill so slow

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 5:14 AM

#

of electrocute and shock shit

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 5:14 AM

#

eh imo not worth going fire to cold with siege cascade not being able to freeze

queen chasm Dec 23, 2024, 5:14 AM

#

Does increasing shock give flat % or is it a percentage of the base value?

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 5:15 AM

#

well still look at tree

#

cold nodes are kinda better

#

so probs still worth

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 5:15 AM

#

ya lots of generic scaling

#

why arent u taking any crit wheels

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 5:15 AM

#

because im not crit or planning to be really

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 5:15 AM

#

crit just seems good

#

i guess for lightning ur better off with lucky tho

wispy comet Dec 23, 2024, 5:16 AM

#

Is infernal legion+instability on raging spirits really any good late game? Or is it better to just build them to attack?

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 5:16 AM

#

well crossbows and bows have 5 base crit

#

you can only get reasonable base crit on them with EOW

snow sierra Dec 23, 2024, 5:16 AM

#

I like attack more but you can make both work

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 5:16 AM

#

and thats annoying

#

and i dont eve take lucky lightning on my lightnign cbow

#

because its not worth pathing to

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 5:16 AM

#

EOW?

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 5:17 AM

#

eye of winter

#

it applies critical werakness

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 5:17 AM

#

oh

#

weird

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 5:17 AM

#

which is +10 base crit

#

also is kina bugged

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 5:17 AM

#

hm

#

so dont bother then

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 5:17 AM

#

and applies full stacks on first hit

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 5:17 AM

#

thats dissappointing

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 5:17 AM

#

idk im fine with not needing crit tree is tight enough already anyway

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 5:17 AM

#

and there just isnt enough crit on the tree huh

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 5:17 AM

#

and gem sockets too

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 5:18 AM

#

is ur damage gonna be okay without crit tho

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 5:18 AM

#

it will yes

#

the machinegun crossbow skills do very good damage

#

im kinda hoping plasma burst isnt complete trash too but its not as good as shockburst still sadly

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 5:18 AM

#

uh which one is that

#

the railgun?

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 5:18 AM

#

i will still use it because its closest thing to scourge arrow

#

we have in poe2

#

xd

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 5:18 AM

#

balmy fable the railgun?

yes

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 5:19 AM

#

its okay from what i heard

#

ill draw up a tree in a few, see if i can do anything decent

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 5:21 AM

#

all trees i did for poe2 so far are just jewel sockets are op, es is op, movespeed is op

#

so i try to include all of that

#

and then done

#

and if i cant then bad build

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 5:21 AM

#

yeah

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 5:21 AM

#

and i wont play

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 5:21 AM

#

then damage wher eu can

#

okay ya 100% u go cold conversion lmao

#

im looking

#

cold has like

#

3 pen wheels

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 5:21 AM

#

yea

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 5:21 AM

#

fire has a single wheel

#

can pen go negative

#

idt it can?

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 5:21 AM

#

no

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 5:21 AM

#

curses and exposure can still i think

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 5:22 AM

#

yea

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 5:22 AM

#

so how much pen does it pay to get

Hi everyone, hopefully this is right place.Anyone have any idea why first ring( the one with 207 mana ) gives me 1.2k more mana than the second one ? This happens only if I equip regalia, thanks.

#

uh oh

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 5:29 AM

#

im not sure if the extra fire on rapid fire is still bugged with conversion or not but i think it is

#

e.g you wont convert the extra fire from it

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 5:29 AM

#

whats the alternative for bossing then

#

i guess explo shot

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 5:29 AM

#

yea

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 5:29 AM

#

which isnt nearly as fun

#

but its there i guess

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 5:30 AM

#

well 4 shot explo shot does very good damage at least and should be pretty good at freezing too

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 5:32 AM

4 shot is what, 1 proj from deadeye 2 from scatter?

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 5:33 AM

yea

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 5:33 AM

ill have to try it

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 5:33 AM

oh also as you will be cold you can also slot in hailstorm rounds on top

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 5:33 AM

#

question is how will i tell if the conversion works on rapid shot lul

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 5:33 AM

#

and hailstorm does a lot

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 5:33 AM

hailstorm is maybe the best way to boss huh

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 5:34 AM

how does the reload on it work

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 5:34 AM

it just passively gains bolts

over time

like unleash

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 5:34 AM

ah okay

even with you reloading

#

hm

#

so u just add that as a supplemental okay yeah

#

worth trying

is there a cold bolt skill u can boss with i wonder

well you can fire 2 salvos with the uh

the reload thingy

does plague bearer skill scale with poison or physical?

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 5:40 AM

#

bleak forge hi, does soul core of Jiquani apply to Total HP or base HP(before Item HP) ?

there is no such thing as base hp

at least as far as game mechanics go

there is permafrost bolts for bossing @thorny token idk how the scaling is late tho

it does phys that poisons

and expected poison damage should include duration too, so not dps

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 5:44 AM

#

balmy fable there is permafrost bolts for bossing <@317319692823953409> idk how the scaling ...

permafrost is more like a combo thing with frag rounds

#

these shotgun skills arent rly that great for bossing outside of frag imo

#

like permafrost at full shotgun deals same damage as 1 explo shot

#

but downside is that adding 1 proj do not doubles that damage

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 5:45 AM

#

i THINK permafrost has higher DE if u hit all the shots

#

but yeah theres that i guess

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 5:45 AM

#

470% de on permafrost on full shotgun, 437% DE on explo so fairly close

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 5:51 AM

stray panther How much rarity % are people running?

if the diminishing formula is anything like in poe1 then around 250-300 should be most optimal imo, and the few ppl i saw mention how much are they running it was around 200%

You have to put in conduction but yes

is it worth pathing up to witch for damage i wonder

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 6:20 AM

probs not just take more generic nodes i guess

theres plenty of them in middle

balmy fable Dec 23, 2024, 6:20 AM

i guess

none of them are that good tho

as well

i guess u do want to travel up for CI eventually

thorny token Dec 23, 2024, 6:22 AM

not much on dex build

im not taking any on tree :d i might take 1 cluster eventually

and just get like accu affix on ring or whatever

156% from tree another 80% from jewels

then double that with grim feast

I'm thinking about aggravated bleed build with minions. Using skel snipers to break armor and then using other melee skeletons to bleed. And I will apply vuln through blasphemy and aggravte it through unique boots for double bleed damage.

My question is what effects bleed. How can I maximzie bleed per hit?

#

Also is there a way to get bleeding mobs to explode or something to make the build clear aoe packs more reliably?

I think bleed is based on damage dealt to life by the hit. It doesn't stack, WHICH I think makes it a bit awkward with minions.

Also gonna be absolutely horrible to map with unless you actively avoid going in to 80% of the maps due to them being filled with doorways that minions get stuck on

If you mean the boss at the end of Sanctum, he is also just really tanky. I don't think 1.5 min against him necessarily means terrible damage.

unkempt pivot is lightning penetration and lightning expousre the same thing?

I'm not 100% sure but I think exposure it negative res you take off from monster's resistance. And penetration is the percent of the "positive resistances" left on the monster you ignore

median kraken Dec 23, 2024, 8:35 AM

#

unkempt pivot is lightning penetration and lightning expousre the same thing?

No. Exposure lowers the enemy's resistance and can lower it to negatives. Pen makes hits ignore some of enemy's resistance if it's positive but does nothing if their resist is 0 or negative.

uncut umbra Dec 23, 2024, 8:35 AM

Also curious as fq about the snapshotting, because people advise that damage is dynamic to currently equiped gear, but that can only be for new hits, existing hits or projectiles that are already mid flight cannot be dynamically refreshed by changing equipment sets unless they want to murder their engine with how often every instance of damage is calculated

no you have to look it at another way.
you have differnent type of damage u apply to enemies.
and those types are something like: spell, attack, melee, slam, etc ...

and those categoriers can apply elemental, chaos or physical damage. or something together.
there are even some nodes which converts physical damage into another element.

my advise is u look at your main damage abilities in the extended view, to look at the specific damage it already does.
so you can choose which one this would be better for you.

Stormweaver can do anything. They have a node that lets all damage chill(and freeze?) and another node that lets all damage shock. So those in conjunction are actually really good for fire since it normally cannot do either.

But they don't have anything that is specific to either cold or lightning
