karmic gust
#

even though all i takes is to nerf enkindlings

hexed mountain
#

Because it would have dropped to 0.4 usage

worthy cave
#

errr

#

she doesn't need a rework

opaque sphinx
#

dont think it was just MB

worthy cave
#

she needs several of her nodes to function

charred hornet
#

20% smth less dmg on resistance flask...i remember

opaque sphinx
#

pre last flask nerf PF was unkillable

hexed mountain
#

Make divine shrine unable to spawn on it, then add 50% less shrine effect

granite nexus
#

The more i think about this guardian hallowed gen cry idea the more i like it

tough cove
#

if mamba got nuked pf would have one build pconc, which also got nerfed

opaque sphinx
#

now its just stupid tanky

worthy cave
#

Right now, three of her nodes just do fuckall

#

Master distiller: actually non-functional and actively detrimental

noble sleet
lethal berry
charred hornet
karmic gust
#

on magics

hexed mountain
#

I meant diamond shrine

worthy cave
#

Nature's boon: actually weaker than your 4 minor bonuses

opaque sphinx
hexed mountain
#

Idk why i always switch up their names

#

The crit one

worthy cave
#

Master alchemist: entirely redundant

opaque sphinx
#

res flask changes tho

zealous pebble
#

Putting reduced effect of shrines on the belt is the same as nerfing the shrines just doesn't make it global

tough cove
#

Like PConc, Mamba, and PBOD made up almost all of the PF population

lethal berry
worthy cave
#

Like here's your Pathfinder "rework"

hexed mountain
worthy cave
#

30% inc. magic utility flask buff -> 40% global, flask effect applies to max life at 50%

opaque sphinx
#

pf doesn't remotely need a rework what

noble sleet
#

90% max res from this belt sounds so op asf. That’s most of the hard work done for you lol. It’s like 90%… that’s insane just from the belt doing this

lethal berry
worthy cave
#

50% chance to not consume flask charges -> flasks use 20 charges instead of stated value, last for 8 seconds instead of stated value. Removes ele ailments -> removes all debuffs when you use a flask.

hexed mountain
tough cove
#

It doesnt now, but it would have essentially been a dead ascendancy if low tolerance and mamba changes went through as originally written up

worthy cave
#

Master distiller: resistances granted by flasks apply to nearby enemies at 40% rate

#

there, Pathfinder now has a full suite of functional nodes

lethal berry
worthy cave
#

Problem is that one of her FLASK branches just doesn't f'ing work

tough cove
#

Hard yes, since PBOD ALSO got hard nerfed too and those 3 made up 90% of all PF builds

worthy cave
#

Because who gives a shit about 30% inc. effect on 3 magic flasks?>

opaque sphinx
#

PF is like assa, early game its by far one of the strongest classes there is and does shit on such a low budget that other classes can't dream of

noble sleet
#

Well Irs only Tuesday, I guess I’ll complain more later if they nerf the other shrines. My fear is tht all the shrines will get nerfed or not roll at all

tough cove
#

on an ascendany that only had a 5% play rate

opal ingot
worthy cave
tough cove
#

Yes and the reason it could do that on a low budget is because mamba and pconc exist

opaque sphinx
hexed mountain
karmic gust
#

its like mid level investment

#

where PF shines

final owl
#

Update - After much consideration, we have removed the shrine belt, and shrines from the game.

worthy cave
tough cove
#

Elementalist and Slayer

karmic gust
#

but before you have decent flasks going PF is really bad

tough cove
#

Juggernaut too

worthy cave
#

And it isn't about how many dead nodes you have

opaque sphinx
tough cove
#

Deadeye

worthy cave
#

That's BS

#

Lolcohol POB'd it

#

it's a small nerf

molten hazel
#

chat is wilding today

worthy cave
#

it gets bigger if you just stack primordial bonds

opaque sphinx
#

oh wow cuz we know just how good of a build maker lolcohol is

lethal berry
worthy cave
#

you go from 130 base inc. golem buff to 80

final owl
#

yeah the hit to elementalist really doesn't look that bad in pob

opaque sphinx
worthy cave
#

b/c you pick up golem commander

tough cove
#

Oh noes the 15% play rate ascendancy got a small nerf

worthy cave
#

WTF are you talking about? So many ele nodes are great

#

shaper of storms + static blows is amazing

opaque sphinx
#

"its only a small nerf if you don't use the thing that got nerfed guys"

karmic gust
#

ele still has really broken nodes yea

hexed mountain
karmic gust
#

and you still use golems anyway

worthy cave
#

mastermind of discord + heart of destruction is great

karmic gust
#

but shaper of flames is still turbo broken

#

the chill and shock node also

worthy cave
#

and heart of destruction is her least picked node

proud gorge
#

oh hey, I just realized

opaque sphinx
worthy cave
#

the cihll node is pretty meh

proud gorge
#

zoo get a lot out of that one support, but you know what else is a funny build

worthy cave
#

no, it's b/c she picks up other stuff

karmic gust
#

nah the chill node is really good

worthy cave
#

like if you go golems + shaper of storms + aegis

karmic gust
#

people just dont like clicking it

proud gorge
#

Flame Golems

karmic gust
#

but its insane

worthy cave
#

you just can't get enough points for heart

hexed mountain
#

Elementalist beats half the classes in damage with just 65% base shock anf 25 reduced res exposure

noble sleet
#

Here’s what I say with diamond shrine. Instead of all hits are crits, you get 75% increased crit chance, would yall be happy? Lol

tough cove
#

people dont click heart of destruction because the ASCENDANCY HAS BETTER OPTIONS

karmic gust
#

yea pure damage 4 pointer node is least of your worries there

worthy cave
#

I mean you know how much I'd kill for the heart of destruction route on pathfinder?

noble sleet
opaque sphinx
worthy cave
#

If you put heart of destruction route on pathfinder, she'd have so many options

final owl
#

75% increased is an absolutely massive nerf compared to everything crits. that makes it worthless for herald chaining

hexed mountain
#

Me watching elementalist scale better than guardian even for minions because 65 shock and 25 reduced lightning res UHM

proud gorge
#

do you mean +75% crit chance?

opaque sphinx
proud gorge
#

because that would probably be pretty good actually

noble sleet
#

I said increased on purpose lol.

proud gorge
#

75% increased crit is pretty worthless, that's, like, 3% crit chance in most cases

opaque sphinx
#

u went from "100% crit" to 7% crit chance and act like its a small nerf

lethal berry
#

who knew one belt would cause this many arguments

opaque sphinx
#

and remotely close to what i was saying

finite quail
#

astrolabes

lethal berry
hexed mountain
#

Nerfing shrines rather than the belt stays a dumb option

proud gorge
#

also I think the belt is fine

opaque sphinx
#

seems fine to me, shrines have been dummy strong for a while

proud gorge
#

it doesn't really need to be nerfed

hexed mountain
#

Shrined are fun

finite quail
#

🧌

worthy cave
#

odds are, theyr'e going to drop acceleration and echoing shrines entirely

#

just as they dropped divine

charred hornet
lethal berry
#

that leaves like 2 offensive shrines total

worthy cave
#

+100% increased action speed is so completely out of this world absurd

hexed mountain
#

And shrines arent an option on the hardest content

opaque sphinx
#

lesser action speed shrine would be ok

worthy cave
#

that leaves: gloom and the 3 crappy elemental ones, and all crits

opal ingot
#

I don't think divine shrine is comparable

hexed mountain
#

Its just a fun little bonus while mapping

noble sleet
# lethal berry who knew one belt would cause this many arguments

I guess cause I brought it up lol. For me i haven’t been this hyped for a unique in a while (not talking exclusively about Poe 1) and I gotta be honest… I just wanna see this kick Mageblood and head hunter’s ass to the ground lol. They would NEVER bring this to Poe 2 lol

tough cove
#

Shrines big issue was how absolutely annoying they were to try to click

proud gorge
#

the strongest possible variation is generically powerful but also ridiculously rare and expensive, so only really the most ridiculously endgame builds will include it. Unlike Mageblood, which most builds assume you have by a few weeks in, nobody's going to write a build guide assuming you're running Resistance + Echoing shrine or something.

tough cove
#

(and how lethal some of them were if you couldnt click them too)

hexed mountain
lethal berry
#

ain't no way gloom is allowed on that belt

final owl
proud gorge
#

And a lot of the less generically powerful options are just really interesting

worthy cave
brisk prairie
#

hey ggg change accel shrine to give.... 50% inc attack speed, cast speed, move speed chaosthinking

worthy cave
#

Again, instead of 30% inc. effect of magic utility flasks, it was "40% inc. effect of ALL flasks"

#

and then master alchemist let you sustain any flasks by overriding their duration and charge consumption

opaque sphinx
#

how the fuck is master alch supposedly trash what

tough cove
#

like no ones even talking about gloom shrine either

opaque sphinx
#

thats one of the wildest takes NA

lethal berry
#

ilya might be the biggest pf stan of all time

worthy cave
gilded pecan
#

where tf did all my stash items go ?!?!?!??!

worthy cave
#

It's an absolutely redundant node

opaque sphinx
#

????????????

worthy cave
#

if you can't sustain flasks in hideout, you can't sustain them

lethal berry
worthy cave
#

and master alchemist won't help

tough cove
#

40% all flasks would be absolutely busted

charred hornet
#

Pls nerf the srhine ggg....i want less people use it stonks_up

opaque sphinx
#

...what?

worthy cave
#

and it's horriblke

proud gorge
#

I think it's fine to have a really good generic power belt that's also wildly inaccessible, because no build will ever assume you have one, so it's fine to exist, especially since it has a wide number of "less powerful" variants that are nonetheless good but also weird and interesting

noble sleet
#

Kira’s losing it lol

worthy cave
#

sorry, magic utiltiy flasks

opaque sphinx
#

50% chance to not consume is absolutely busted

lethal berry
#

let's jusre remove shrines entirely

proud gorge
#

and fit on specific builds

worthy cave
#

you're calling 40% all flasks busted when 30% to magic utility is trash?

noble sleet
opaque sphinx
#

its not trash??

gilded pecan
worthy cave
#

It is hot garbage!

opaque sphinx
karmic gust
worthy cave
#

Do some basic arithmetic

tough cove
#

because theres several absolutely broken unique flasks

karmic gust
#

but the magic flask effect is completely garbage

worthy cave
#

but it doesn't help there

karmic gust
#

as pf you have like 2 magic flasks

#

there is no point for going for more

#

maybe 3

opaque sphinx
soft perch
#

im not super familiar with gen cry

final owl

it either has to be absurdly strong and very hard to obtain chase item, or it's broadly available and is more about enabling interesting build variations rather than giving straight up power imo

soft perch

worthy cave
#

It's impossible to ssutain

karmic gust
tough cove
#

40% all though would be busted the second you got progen

steady elk
#

lfggggggggg

worthy cave
#

even WITH master alch

#

because if you drain the whole flask

karmic gust
#

40% all would be busted for sure

worthy cave
#

you're not recharging it

karmic gust
#

but 15% all would be good

#

instead of 30% magic

opaque sphinx
worthy cave
#

15% all is stupid

#

it's a non-node

opaque sphinx
#

flasks can fill so many holesk when u cant afford gear

karmic gust
hardy heron
#

This is so fucking funny to watch

karmic gust
#

thats completely nuts

#

lol

opaque sphinx
#

why would u not

lethal berry
#

who's ready for an entire day's teaser for a single skill gem

worthy cave
#

Kira, how many PF builds have you played that aren't mamba or bouncy?

karmic gust
#

do you just not click any damage or skip the atual flask sustain nodes

modern zinc
#

I'm so eager to play the new league

#

I want to try out Death's Oath

karmic gust
#

this is the bad flask stuff

opaque sphinx
cobalt blade
#

:p

karmic gust
#

this is the good flask stuff

#

you cant just click all 4

#

and not click anyhing else

#

that doesnt work

#

and it does also nothing useful

#

TR can click the magic flask effect because theres nothing else to click

#

not because it wants to

#

but thats about it

karmic gust
cobalt blade
#

personally dislike the playstyle of surgeon so click natures boon over it when playing pf but i know its objectively wrong lol

worthy cave
#

Like...can we get some of elementalist's nodes on PF conditional on using a flask?

cobalt blade
#

just really hate clicking the life flask

worthy cave
#

So macro it.

cobalt blade
karmic gust
#

yea as long as you are aware its fine templarLul

cobalt blade
#

dont particularly like breaking tos just to play an ascend

worthy cave
#

I mean if GGG won't provide us instilling orbs for life flask to use at end of flask effect

haughty bloom
worthy cave
#

People were using popsicle sticks and they gave us MB

you get in a habit after a while

Calm down there buddy

#

i have to force myself to stop the manual piano on healing flask for like a month after i stop playing a pathfinder

karmic gust

savage hit works only with the uuh

#

worthy cave
#

Well, they can be instilled to use at end of flask effect 😉

karmic gust
#

whats its name

#

its fun tech at least

worthy cave
#

forbidden taste?

karmic gust
#

yes

cobalt blade
#

yeah it can be used with the funy full restore one

haughty bloom
#

oh I use forbidden taste as my life flask so I just add savage hit to it

cobalt blade
#

lmao

#

based

worthy cave
#

yeah and then the % inc flask effect makes you take more chaos damae

haughty bloom
#

good

potent bramble
#

Ngl there have been times when I'll reach maps and still just have the starter small life/mana flasks and the one quicksilver flask, and nothing else for flasks

haughty bloom

I want to take more chaos damage

cobalt blade
potent bramble
#

B/c I just can't be bothered to click the buttons lol

karmic gust
#

#

its a curse

cobalt blade
#

i only have the habit of clicking 1 at the start of every map from playing loopers lmao

#

i cant get a habit of doing it constantly

haughty bloom
#

whyd you stop playing loopers

cobalt blade
#

nerfed too much

haughty bloom
#

its looper meta sabo got 50% cdr

karmic gust
#

we got cast on ward broken now

cobalt blade
#

anom minion speed loss killed it for me

karmic gust
#

surely thats good

cobalt blade
#

yeah im hoping its good

karmic gust
#

looper with more than 10k phys max hit

cobalt blade
#

specifically my hope is they gave it the MFA treatment

#

1% more dmg per 1 ward broken

worthy cave
#

is there a way to break your own ward?

#

Heartbound loop, rihgt

karmic gust

self damage yea

Poison exsang
are the PF builds i played

#

had to go back and look

#

oh and tshot

cobalt blade
#

restore 5% on hit b eing the olroth bloodline

worthy cave
#

and how do any of those need either 30% inc magic utility of 50% chance not to use?

cobalt blade
#

as my idea for it

lethal berry
cobalt blade
#

trauma support for self hit

haughty bloom
#

looping with lifestacker > wardstacker

cobalt blade
#

terraria font andybold

karmic gust
#

would you even bother with ward stacking there tho

opaque sphinx
karmic gust
#

what if you just get like 1 ward iteema nd just break it

#

like now you are allowed to build real defenses

cobalt blade
karmic gust
#

so no need for olroth flask

cobalt blade
#

but i dont think it will

proud gorge
#

anyways, Golems. So Hordes gives a base 3 Flame Golems, 2 from Foulborn Midnight Bargain, 2 from Elementalist, 1 from Golem Commander, 1 from Anima Stone. We ignore Primordial Chain. That gives 9 Flame Golems. If you equipped a second Midnight Bargain, you could get up to 11 golems, but that's a bit silly.

Then you add in Dark Monarch and the new minion limit support gem. With a level 3 support gem, either way you apply the limit, you end up with 24 total Flame Golems. A level 4 support gem would presumably let you hit 25, depending on what number it reaches.

opaque sphinx
#

the rest relied on flasks for defense

karmic gust
#

dont think it ven needs to ngl

haughty bloom
#

I got to like 52k phys max hit on my looper for keepers

karmic gust
#

it just needs reasonable cooldown

#

and it will be very very good

proud gorge
#

With double Midnight Bargain you could have 30 golems, but again, that's quite silly

cobalt blade
#

idk

proud gorge
#

don't run double midnight bargain

cobalt blade
#

cool down wise i dont think you can restore it fast enough

#

like thats the best you can do

karmic gust
#

well you just do firestorm and other shit right

cobalt blade
#

which i guess maybe it sustains itself if you do like 4 proj skills

#

butidk

blazing nymph
#

Cast 20 proj, all good

karmic gust
#

alternatively

#

mothers embrace iron flask

soft perch
#

after pobbing gen cry for a bit

karmic gust
#

for mapping

soft perch
#

gen cry is pretty cosmetic

cobalt blade
soft perch
#

its like, mostly cyclone and shockwave doing the damage

worthy cave
cobalt blade
#

i wanted to run shrine belt like any sane person :D

soft perch
#

and then gen cry is like 40% more

worthy cave
#

like to 7% or 8%?

cobalt blade
#

no

worthy cave
#

😭

#

so you need to attack like a madman

#

I.E. superfast tornado shot or something

cobalt blade
#

ye lancing steel of spraying axe+trauma support

#

for self dmg

worthy cave
#

and then where do you even get ward from?

opaque sphinx
worthy cave
#

Ynda's stand has a massive opportunity cost

#

b/c BELT

cobalt blade
#

probably just your hat or ynda's for ward if it has % more per thing ignore shrine belt

opaque sphinx
modern zinc
proud gorge
#

the theoretical maximum golems is 38, or 39 if the level 4 gem hits 40%

worthy cave
#

too much ward lmao

cobalt blade
#

if it has no mult based on scaling you go shrine belt for sure tho

worthy cave
#

needs a nightgrip XD

cobalt blade
opaque sphinx
#

thats with antiq

proud gorge
#

but that requires you to have not just double midnight bargain but also Primordial Chain

worthy cave
#

oh

cobalt blade
#

destroys your faithguard

proud gorge
#

which nerfs your golems quite heavily

opaque sphinx
cobalt blade
#

oh fair then non faithguard for 60k is crazy

opaque sphinx
#

its faith

#

just not int

cobalt blade
#

ahhh

opaque sphinx
#

was as far as i got fuckin around with the pob

proud gorge
#

25 full strength golems is definitely better than 39 primordial chain weakened golems

opaque sphinx
#

before i got bored

cobalt blade
#

oh ye foulborn heup exists

#

that do makes iteasier

#

greyspire would be unuseable tho for this stuff

proud gorge
#

but I guess you could build a 39 golem elementalist just for the sake of doing it

cobalt blade
#

need some form of self hit to start the loop/restart it when it drops between packs

#

and i think the only way to make that semi viable is olroth bloodline+spraying

opaque sphinx
#

yeh i didn't wanna deal with the selfhit/restore/timing the restore and self hit to be just after shatter cd

#

is what made me quit on it

cobalt blade
#

ye thats fair enough for shatter

#

i do hope the fuckin cast on ward break has good numbers

brittle portal

or does the item's primary function not work

lethal berry
#

generally if it's still red, it's just not even needed for pob to function

tranquil umbra
#

dawg just turn the flask on manually in pob

#

you can do that

lethal berry
#

if its mageblood u don't even need to do that

brittle portal
#

Yeah, it looks like that... And then if I had something like fire/cold/lightning resist flasks in my items, it will not give the added effect from them

#

It just bricks everything. It's worked in previous leagues.

lethal berry
#

send the pob

opaque sphinx
#

have u tried relaunching pob

proud gorge
#

are you sure it's not giving the effect correctly?

#

also they do have to be specifically magic utility flasks

normal ones won't work

In here

proud gorge

nah it needs to be life on spell hit at least, though life on hit is better

onyx adder

Even people who should know better

proud gorge

but the only source of that is the watcher's eye mod

finite quail

you don't hit nearly often enough with the cyclone attack to regen enough life

tight plinth

what if, i 6link orb of storm, and have new shocknova to get giga procs marauderthinking

onyx adder
#

If u need life on spell hit the best easy source is influence ring

proud gorge
#

yeah

#

I used the Shaper ring last time

proud gorge
#

it works, but it's a bit less consistent than I'd like

soft perch
#

youd probably want to trigger it though

#

as to how

#

idk lol

proud gorge
#

life on attack hit helps to get you past the initial breakpoint, but life on spell hit is what lets you actually sustain the life costs

onyx adder
#

Oos doesnt work with repeats

proud gorge
#

so having both from watcher's eye is optimal

onyx adder
#

U guys know that right

#

Thats why LC cant run spell echo

why mods evil

and life on spell hit is more important since its what lets you actually sustain

I will not be mad

due to not casting enough spells to sustain

i haveno clue how its gonna work with echo but hey it can be supported now

Presumably u cast an oos and then u immediately overwrite it

the constant flashing and changing colors on screen is a codec destroyer

just destroys any quality, much like snow

dom blow will always be shit in my heart because the rework to spawning sentinels was so much garbage compared to what they could have done to the original

Aka: You can only have 1 type of each monsters dominated, their duration is 30sec, subsequent monster of same type resets the duration and adds its power to the Prime monster

This skill would have been so much fun compared to the sentinel shit

I was pondering what could be done with Gwen to make her impactful again - because as I'm assuming you'd agree with, she's kinda just fully irrelevant b/c of item gambling at Faustus.
