[onyx adder]

I tried pobbing

[split maple]

Mfa buff 😄

[pliant hamlet]

what'd you suggest? All hits poison, I have 40% explody, just need a skill to play it with

[fossil mural]

Blunderbore + gull for over 200% effect for +3 charges pag

[karmic gust]

wouldnt this be kinda scuffed now witout defiled

[cerulean breach]

no, why would it be?

ignite duration is 6.3 sec

respawn time of stuff is 4 sec

[halcyon prawn]

is this on the main 3.28 patch notes?

[thick goblet]

nice, looking like a casie pob

[wheat sinew]

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3914212/page/1#p26581987

[karmic gust]

yea did not had pob open, i guess thats good enough

[halcyon prawn]

great

[wheat sinew]

imagine the damage on marohi

[leaden quiver]

Where new gems

[fossil mural]

Actually youd need blunderbore, gull, guardian and one sword for 10% buff effect

[pulsar dune]

Don't have POB up, how many stages is this?

[leaden quiver]

Searing bond of detonation

[cerulean breach]

10

[fossil mural]

And it can overroll area

[pulsar dune]

My worry would be blowing up your golems, so no golem buffs to the ignite

[split maple]

Was a fun one to build

[fossil mural]

Oh and the cold wand can become +4 again

Pag

[cerulean breach]

meh that's like a 10% cut

[wheat sinew]

forgor, does it work on values that don't have ranges?

[cerulean breach]

the golem buffs are just for mapping

[fossil mural]

Mostly

[split maple]

Huh we getting 1.34 multi?

[fossil mural]

Ggg can lock certain mods

[wheat sinew]

as long as not "UNSCALABLE MODIFIER"

right

[fossil mural]

Viper said it rounds up. Well, hinted

[fossil mural]

This is irrelevant actually

[pulsar dune]

I wonder if you even go ele tbh, there's foulborn dyadian dawn now no

[cerulean breach]

you need ele for the golem respawn

[split maple]

Viper said poo2 rounding works same as poe1 but maybe had more exceptions, I wouldn't call that a hint it rounds up there

[pulsar dune]

Do you need golems?

[tranquil umbra]

another fun interaction with the new vaal orb is 100%+ unveiled mod effect on cane

[cerulean breach]

yes to make mapping not cringe

[onyx adder]

Is ur weapon taken now

[pulsar dune]

Fair fair

[pliant hamlet]

nope

anythings available

Just boots and amulet taken

[tranquil umbra]

so you can get +4 to socketed support gems

[onyx adder]

Amulet is timepiece?

[pliant hamlet]

yea

[onyx adder]

So no spark

[pulsar dune]

That seems kinda sad tbh, golems just for that

[split maple]

Oh wait a bit how much explosion chance does this vaal thingie give me

[pulsar dune]

IG it's not nothing

[cerulean breach]

I mean ele is still very strong for this build

big shocks

ignite consistency

[split maple]

50% elevated crusader explodeys 🤔

[umbral scarab]

Where challenge rewards

[cerulean breach]

more res reduction

[pliant hamlet]

I could farm a stasis prison

and drop the amulet

[pulsar dune]

Yeah, but chieftain res or smth y'know

[onyx adder]

Naw

[umbral scarab]

I need my mtx motivation

[stable hawk]

so we get 5flask magebloods?

[split maple]

This could scares me

[onyx adder]

U can try ice spear but i always recommend crema for these all damage can poison setups

And whatever good coverage skill u want for clear

[pliant hamlet]

crema scales with projectile count, too, doesn't it

[onyx adder]

Yes

[pliant hamlet]

but isn't hit by the downside of mystical refractor

👀

[split maple]

If vaal has same multi as poe2 and if it rounds up same as in poe2

[cerulean breach]

I can't recommend ice spear for anything

it's a pob warrior skill

[split maple]

Big ifs

[cerulean breach]

in reality it misses half the time

[pliant hamlet]

we farmed one last league lol

[karmic gust]

well it absolutely is hit by downside of refractor if you cant chain the explosions :d

[hazy kiln]

That was certainly not intended as a hint, I don't even know anything about this item. Literally found out about it the same way you all did

[fossil mural]

They just admitted they may have powercrept mb. Maybe this is their way of making it catch up

[sick lantern]

I don’t know what’s going on with my game, but I’m having network latency problems. Right now my ping hit 20,000+. Does anyone know how to fix it?

[wheat sinew]

[pliant hamlet]

wdym?

[karmic gust]

firestorm of meteors is also an opion if you want something simple

[wheat sinew]

does this mean I have to farm alberrons

[pliant hamlet]

ooo

[split maple]

👀 how many unrelentings give or take?

[wheat sinew]

cuz 1-80

[pliant hamlet]

I like that

[pliant hamlet]

I farmed up like 8 or 9 unrelentings and I was nowhere near the majority farmer lol

[wheat sinew]

uuugh Rawr farmed like 60

[pliant hamlet]

@wheat sinew would be the one to ask

yeah

[karmic gust]

well you would be hitting exactly single mob wit the ice spear lmao

[fossil mural]

Possibly 3.5m binos

[wheat sinew]

and we just afked

and it just drops

xd

[karmic gust]

with mystic refractor

so your boots better put the work in

[pliant hamlet]

That's the plan lol

[split maple]

Fucking hell i Got like 5-6 in entire league

And most were karui so not even full set

[cerulean breach]

@karmic gust but don't you think it looks really solid?

[pliant hamlet]

we share around scarabs a lot

[onyx adder]

Yea i suggested cremation partly for this reason

Also because that skill is op when u can scale it

[karmic gust]

i mean it does look rly good and i think ele is still stupid strong ascendancy

with the other nodes it has

[split maple]

Yeah scarbies aint as much an issue as heck that's a load of 5ways:D

[tidal estuary]

is there a way for Filterblade to set the used filter for Standard League?

[onyx adder]

Honestly 80% f my pobs this league are still elementalist

[pliant hamlet]

Lots of people want to run 5-ways

it's a lot of good stuff

[stable hawk]

does it round up in poe2?

[pliant hamlet]

just put em in the gs, someone will run em

[golden moat]

does this mean 5 flask mageblood? xD

[fossil mural]

Yes

[cerulean breach]

just don't know about early availabilty of pragmatism

[split maple]

Idk salty Said it does

[onyx adder]

Splaff made fun of me for saying some prolif effect was big enough to be a legion farmer, im told nobody runs legion in trade anymore madge

Which prolif was it again

Oh yea the new 2h sword with no damage

It has a bunch of shit stats and an enormous aoe ignite prolif

[pliant hamlet]

lol

[wheat sinew]

[pliant hamlet]

I just want to play with beacon

[tidal estuary]

like, it supposedly automaticall puts stuff in different tiers

[pliant hamlet]

huge pops sound fun

[tidal estuary]

based on the economy of that item

[karmic gust]

i never saw anyone even us that chest i have no clue where it even comes from lmao

oh king of the mists

[pulsar dune]

It's a king in the mists drop

[cerulean breach]

king of the mists

[pliant hamlet]

pragmatism? It's the most common drop from king of the mist

[karmic gust]

well thats doomed early right

idk

[split maple]

It's what you get when you want ES lom

[karmic gust]

oh most common?

nice

[wheat sinew]

me: excited about the changes
Friends: man you are always excited about changes, every time you are hyped
me: well yeah they are good and fun changes lol

[pulsar dune]

Someone has to hit nameless ritual and GG

[split maple]

Yeah its common as grass

[pliant hamlet]

it's insanely commona nd 1c day 1 lol

[fossil mural]

Technically with overcorrupt from poe2 pragmatism can become +3 levels for six link

[pulsar dune]

Lel

[split maple]

Whats the exact multi on poo2

[onyx adder]

I draw my line at allcaps

[pliant hamlet]

imagine it's -1 to level of socketed skill gems per sockete4d gem and +18 level of socketed skill gems

[wheat sinew]

1.22

[pliant hamlet]

👀

[onyx adder]

If ur not allcapsing then ur hype is fine

[fossil mural]

1.22, but you overshoot it a lot. 1.22 is like 14.65

[hoary scarab]

overcorrupt binos prolif, 4.3m prolif huge

[tawdry goblet]

I have a couple of builds in mind but i rather start a build as early as possible. Most build switch at the end of campaign. Any good build that start early?

[leaden quiver]

Sameeeee

[fossil mural]

Where did you get that number

[leaden quiver]

Wtf is crema really good?

[pliant hamlet]

crema's always been really good

[hardy heron]

Second most, according to wiki
But still pretty common and cheap

[crisp obsidian]

AAAAAAA

[pliant hamlet]

It's just not a playstyle people like

[karmic gust]

crema just stops scaling mostly

is the issue with the skill

[split maple]

Yea I am slaping that on crusader chest

[karmic gust]

but poison can keep scaling it

[pliant hamlet]

crema hits a lot

[fossil mural]

It doesnt work on rares no?

Or did they say it does

[split maple]

What why

[hoary scarab]

wait nvm i thought it was 3.5m prolif, its just 3.7m prolif

[split maple]

No fun allowed poe2 orbiee smh my head

[fossil mural]

Poe2 has 2 orbs

Well

Technically

[karmic gust]

i think if it works on jewels its gonna be most busted there

[fossil mural]

Vaal for uniques

[karmic gust]

you have stuff like watchers, sublimes

[fossil mural]

And divine+omen for rares

[karmic gust]

and some very hard to get stats there otherwise

[split maple]

Balance of terror phys as extra vaalie 👀

[hoary scarab]

volatile should work for rares too

[pliant hamlet]

oh that'd be insane

[fossil mural]

Idk I am just saying

[split maple]

Oh wait is 1.22 enough to get 100% phys as fire without sublime

[crisp obsidian]

Tides of time

Stronkest

[karmic gust]

foulborn jewel effects

[karmic gust]

you miss 10% i think right

[fossil mural]

Maybe thats why they were all nerfed across the board copege

[pliant hamlet]

what about Volatile dead? I used to love that skill, idk how it'd be as a poison skill tho

[karmic gust]

it has big issues wih targetting

[split maple]

Surely there is some bound by destiny mod

4x Hunter?

[hoary scarab]

if it actually works like poe2 overcorrupt, you can turn 2 to 3 on uniques

[karmic gust]

well if you have bound by destiny you have that solved already lul

dont need corrupt on top

[fossil mural]

No, its 3 to 4

[karmic gust]

because thats the 10% missing

[fossil mural]

How do you always get this wrong

[split maple]

Oh rite you take 2x conv on watcher

[karmic gust]

yea

[celest skiff]

After it's popular outing GGG always seemed kinda angry about it existing.

too autoaimey I guess

[onyx adder]

Fwiw explodies largely solve this problem

[night fulcrum]

X · Mar 4, 2026, 9:40 PM

[karmic gust]

i guess thats true

[dim sonnet]

some of these exceptional gems sounds like brand support or maybe mines ?

[karmic gust]

but also i still dont know if iks has any aoe :d

[split maple]

So okay Grace of the goddess vaalie

[karmic gust]

becaues you cant just have the boots and they will not just clear for you by default

[split maple]

Practically all the phys as extra stuff is interesting

[hoary scarab]

cause the math is bad either way

[fossil mural]

Holy

Thats actually

Fun?

[onyx adder]

That gem is a lot of damage

[hoary scarab]

wait, trap totems are back

[pulsar dune]

Wow, that's kinda good huh

[split maple]

Rf buff?

[fossil mural]

Bro that shit will cost multimirror for a good roll

[onyx adder]

U cant clear with it i dont think

[nocturne maple]

crucible explody totems but for dots holy

[celest skiff]

They aren't repeating explodey totems right?

[onyx adder]

The single target is rly big tho

[fossil mural]

Youd need to stack min power charges

Which goes against single damage

[split maple]

Divines work on them tho

[night fulcrum]

no clue i bet they explode all at once

[celest skiff]

I assume "detonate" doesn't deal hit damage.

[pulsar dune]

You can go ballistas to pad out count, tho it may not even be needed

[celest skiff]

or the tooltip would say it

[past mantle]

Oh that's really fun.

[fossil mural]

I mean yea, but poe2 overcorrupt divines first anyway

[split maple]

What

[civic charm]

Does cheiftan explode apply to minions?

[split maple]

Why

[onyx adder]

Correct

[split maple]

No fun allowed poe2 orbie

[fossil mural]

So you cant perfect sivine a unique

[hoary scarab]

it divines first and then applies the multiplier

[fossil mural]

And then overcorrupt

[pulsar dune]

Placement range and just use the bond, or RF IG

[split maple]

Whats the bloody point of divine orbs then

[fossil mural]

It has to perfect roll both times

[fossil mural]

Thats the question people ask in poe2 often

[hoary scarab]

guess why there is no divine sink in poe2

[cosmic raptor]

What are you league starting

[spice pecan]

oh shit, new searing bond

[celest skiff]

overcorruption makes having perfect items feel worse.

[fossil mural]

Phys dot glad

[past mantle]

Exploding totems were busted because they had infinite base damage, this isn't that nuts lol.

[spice pecan]

fbowb ignite totems may legit be on the menu

[split maple]

Like FFS they better fix that if they bringing that to poe1

[crisp obsidian]

Cause there is no crafting bench

[split maple]

It should respec my divs

[late slate]

in pathofpathing what should I pick for atlas? atlas or atlas-league?

[cosmic raptor]

Make a video guide

[hoary scarab]

is there even a difference

[fossil mural]

Xdd

[thick goblet]

gem looks cool

[cosmic raptor]

Ask grok to record

[fossil mural]

And write the script

[stoic horizon]

ait im back, any cool news from the jung interview?

[past mantle]

Because of omens.

[fossil mural]

Have you heard of poo2

[spice pecan]

not really

it was a strange stream

[split maple]

We getting a vaal orb that fucks up your divine

[past mantle]

Do I gotta watch the stream or can I skippge?

[thick goblet]

no it was mostly just philosophy/game design questions
very little to do with new league

[past mantle]

Or vod rather.

[stoic horizon]

kinda expected it from the filter info but glad to see confirmation

[past mantle]

I don't really care for junGROAN.

[stoic horizon]

jungle ryan

[fossil mural]

John Groan Ryan

[cosmic raptor]

Give grok the pob and ask to make a video on it

[celest skiff]

so, hierophant trapper spawning like 10 totems at once and having them all instantly apply the degen at 300% more damage?

[fallow escarp]

Mr Anathema himself

[fossil mural]

Pog

[spice pecan]

pc stack explodey totems

[stray sedge]

I saw that mf roll his eyes 3 times and I only watched for about 10 min before leaving. Wtf was that about, or does he have some nervous tic or something?

[spice pecan]

let's fucking go

[dire valley]

MFW Holy relic hasnt been touched this league(it got a minor regen buff)

[celest skiff]

holy relic only gets buffs

[pulsar dune]

Yep, can fully play hroc

[past mantle]

Oh fuck.

[dire valley]

For the 3rd league in a row

[celest skiff]

would hroc on a holy strike build be a waste of effort?

[sleek barn]

im doing it to level

but yes in the future

[dire valley]

All hail our father Balormage

[unkempt thunder]

syndicate farmers what r u guys doin for next league

[past mantle]

If you can push the new minion gem to 50% more minions, you could get 6 holy relics going.

[celest skiff]

you'd have to get a lot of attack speed to meet breakpoints on the weapons holy strike allows

[stray sedge]

Farming syndicate

[past mantle]

I need to get my hands on that gem immediately.

[dire valley]

W/o dark monarch?

[past mantle]

With.

[hoary scarab]

that is if they stack

[dire valley]

Hmm.

[unkempt thunder]

[dire valley]

I like my bob.

[sleek barn]

im going as many holy hammers brother

[past mantle]

But when you have 6 relics, monarch becomes very worth it.

[fossil mural]

Wdym? You only need one totem to actually hit

[dire valley]

I gotta check the new gems

[fossil mural]

But the tethers maybe stack

[sleek barn]

can you have 2 AGs actually

[pulsar dune]

6 relics is crazy

[dire valley]

more minions on HRoC sounds busted

Could be a great bosser now

[stoic horizon]

did they show the new searing bond? i dont see it in gem info

[hoary scarab]

then there would be no need to use 10 totems

[gentle chasm]

quite unlikely tbh

[fossil mural]

Its for the bottom line bruh

[pulsar vault]

yes gem weird

[celest skiff]

you have to reach totem cap to make them pop

[worthy cave]

Man Jungroan and the devs were talking about "choice within an ascendancy"

[past mantle]

There's no dark monarch mod for it so no.

[worthy cave]

and that's the exact problem that several ascendancies absolutely lack

[spice pecan]

hiero with multi totem support, gg

[sleek barn]

painge

[worthy cave]

AND the bloodlines suck so much so they wouldn't pull away from the base ascendancies

[hoary scarab]

hm yeah i guess

[past mantle]

[spice pecan]

6 totem limit with 3 max pc, 7 with shaper shield

[worthy cave]

But in the meantime, how many of those bloodlines offer support to existing ascendancies?

[dire valley]

Lmaoo imagine 2 bobs with 2 kingmakers

[worthy cave]

There are a bunch of bloodline minion nodes when Necromancer is already spoiled for choice

[spice pecan]

get 9 pc, shaper shield, and all the totem stuff and you get 13 max totem limit lol

[split maple]

3-4

[stoic horizon]

looks fun actually

[past mantle]

It looks genuinely good as a gem that you can scale.

[worthy cave]

The vaal one only has two choices, one of which is a meme

[past mantle]

Which is great.

[split maple]

Farul, lycia, idk pick the one you like most of the other ones but trialmaster or aul

[spice pecan]

then like inner conviction and scale dot multi i guess

[sleek barn]

i am a minion enjoyer so i am happy that there are minion bloodlines

[past mantle]

Trialmaster asc is great lol.

[worthy cave]

Farrul offered one node that just got blown up

[sleek barn]

on the other side i don't use the minion bloodlines

[worthy cave]

Trialmaster asc is great if you're specifically a vaal build

[split maple]

How did it Got blown up

[past mantle]

If you could get 2 bobs you'd just go with the trans version and have them beat the shit out of everything.

[sleek barn]

yeah thats the purpose

[worthy cave]

the tigers had their health cut in half

[split maple]

Kittens still give crit and as

[night bone]

Well, I know what I'm league starting, what's everyone else doing?

[fossil mural]

Its awkward to make it both clear well and scale single target. I am not sure what burning means in this context.

[gritty epoch]

RF buff

[stoic horizon]

wait that dot can get huge

[past mantle]

Tiger health isn't a relevant stat.

[split maple]

You resummon them in half a sec

Or less

Like its rly nonissue

[dire valley]

I might actually go for Dark monarch this league, in 3.26 I had full MB/adorned, thought of doing monarch but AG was too op then.

[cobalt blade]

one thin im wondering will the hiero's more dmg per summoned totem apply before or after the explode happens

like do you actually benefit from it

[past mantle]

What do you mean?

[worthy cave]

And then Farrul's spectre

[celest skiff]

I don't think sane RF players are gonna sit there summoning totems to do single target

[worthy cave]

it's like "so hiow am I supposed to keep this thing alive in juiced content?"

If it's the tiger that is

[split maple]

By it being perfect tutel?

You don't take Both nodes

[night bone]

faster attack speed

[worthy cave]

I mean the bottom node

the aura spectre

[nocturne maple]

as if they weren't already standing there spamming fire trap or scorching ray

[karmic gust]

on most stuff like this you still do right

so hopefully

[hoary scarab]

turtle is a beast

[worthy cave]

like you have to be a minion build already and invest into minion life already

Yeah turtle survives

[onyx adder]

Dots from non persistent effects do snapshot so i would assume u get the bonus

[cobalt blade]

i think so but not completely sure

[split maple]

Yes for the bottom node you take the bloody perfect turtle

[night bone]

oh, good luck with that

[onyx adder]

U got it from explody totems so

[worthy cave]

but turtle = determination

[dark grove]

It was hard but managed to do my first build though old build but new asc

[worthy cave]

so you have to specifcially be an armor build to make full use of turtle

[cobalt blade]

oh ye you did actually tha ts good reason to think it works

[unkempt thunder]

guys do you think guff/haku in intervention will be good?

[split maple]

You only care for node buff if you take that

[hoary scarab]

eh? everyone can benefit from turtle

[split maple]

Otherwise Just take kitties

[cobalt blade]

makes the skill look pretty legit

[worthy cave]

I mean if the aura is pointless b/c you don't stack armor

then why turtle at all?

[split maple]

Coz it lives

[nocturne maple]

ong indigon dot totems will go so hard

[fossil mural]

Well for the scaling part, if you want more single target you get more pcs. But if you want to clear with it comfortably you want them to explode on initial cast. You probably cant summon 13 totems with one cast right? And for burning damage - it says enemies take fire dot while in the tether, but you can also make them start burning. I am not sure whats the difference between burning and just taking fire dot.

[hoary scarab]

det also gives base armour and turtle also gives you flat pdr

[spice pecan]

wait wait wait

[tough cove]

i still dont think its gonna top fire trap

[spice pecan]

can we abuse new searing bond with cluster traps

[worthy cave]

Would be nice if determ got reworked to offer flat % phys reduction

[cobalt blade]

time to take deathbeams pob and convert it to totems

[worthy cave]

something like...20% at level 20?

1% per level?

[split maple]

Oh yes please

[cobalt blade]

but actually i dont think you go indigon since its somuch investment to make that mana work lmfao

[night bone]

Well, I know what I'm league starting, what's everyone else doing?

[cobalt blade]

please no

[stoic horizon]

hm the searing bond is already highest dot in the game with baseline power charges

[cobalt blade]

dont kill armour stackers

D:

[split maple]

Time to craft introspction clusters

[nocturne maple]

it all comes back to poison with an asterisk

[split maple]

We getting phys immune

[worthy cave]

why not ?8(

[night fulcrum]

burning is anything that deal fire damage over time

[cobalt blade]

armour stackers

[spice pecan]

we might be going explode totems 2.0 with the new gems that just got revealed

[cobalt blade]

they would have to remove one of the armour lines to make that a reasonable change lol

[worthy cave]

I mean armor stackers are already phys immune

[fossil mural]

It says specifically they can take fire dot without burning?

[spice pecan]

it's specifically not ignite tho

but you can surely proc a fat ignite off the explode

[past mantle]

It's traps really for exploding them immediately, same as crucible.
In terms of burning, highest one takes priority so explode dot always gonna be the thing.

[stoic horizon]

it doesnt look like it hits tho

no hit damage mentioned

[cerulean breach]

where was this found?

[night bone]

I'm gonna do esxang mines elementalist and farm blight and harvest so I can get and harvest craft cord belts.

[fossil mural]

Yea it doesnt seem to have hit damage

Just burning

[past mantle]

What does that question mean?

[nocturne maple]

so instead of doing billions of hit dmg and dot capping, we just get dot cap

[spice pecan]

oh wait

[cobalt blade]

actually not really they take less ele damage than phys but uh the problem would be theyd need to remove one of the lines from it to add pdr w/o it being broken :p

[sleek barn]

wait lmao

[spice pecan]

fucking rip

[cerulean breach]

where did the image come from?

[modest depot]

https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/1rkyhxd/check_out_searing_bond_of_detonation_a_new/

[past mantle]

Twitter and reddit.

[cobalt blade]

which does nerf armour stacker

[sleek barn]

explodey totem league!!!

welcome back

crucible

[spice pecan]

there's no hit on it apparently

[cerulean breach]

oh I saw it on path of exile builds reddit

[spice pecan]

so i don't think explode totems 2.0 is real

[stoic horizon]

its dot not hit, so spamming totems wont work

[spice pecan]

and i assume multiple dots from multiple detonations dont stack

then again it isn't ignite

it's just generic burning damage

[zealous pebble]

Still the dot will be juicy from the detonation

[sleek barn]

i don't get it

[cerulean breach]

weird skill

[spice pecan]

scorching ray on multiple totems stacks

[stoic horizon]

since the detonation scales per number of totem it shouldnt stack

[fossil mural]

It deals burning damage, but only enemies at the end of tether take burning damage?.. Either I am stupid or this has issues

[sleek barn]

detonate into dot?

[past mantle]

Correct.

[cerulean breach]

if you get more max totems it does more dmg but takes longer to get to max totems

[spice pecan]

you bypass this with traps

[night fulcrum]

it just apply a dot, and if the totem explode they dont hit they put the dot on closeby ennemies with a 30%more multi per totem

[cerulean breach]

and I assume the detonation deletes the totems?

[cerulean breach]

how so

[zealous pebble]

If they're in the beam they take damage

[nocturne maple]

yes

[past mantle]

Yes.

[cobalt blade]

yes u are

your goal is to detonate th totems for dmg

[fossil mural]

Yes, now read the line after

[cobalt blade]

rather than the beams

[spice pecan]

cluster traps etc, to summon more than a dozen totems at once

[stoic horizon]

but you also nerf dmg, so you need to make sure getting them out faster truly helps

[fossil mural]

About either end of tether

[fiery marsh]

That was the worst interview I ever seen ever. Who tf was that random ass bald guy??

[past mantle]

The scaling vectors are different but the concept is exactly the same as explodey totem.

[cerulean breach]

...at the cost of support gems

[spice pecan]

quantrix, some league guy

[cerulean breach]

@past mantle did you see my new leaguestarter pob?

[split maple]

Oh Muphy is back

[fossil mural]

I dont care what the goal is. The tether dot lines sound wrong

[spice pecan]

this is how it was done back in 3.20

[past mantle]

Was it the glacial cascade miner you updated?

[fiery marsh]

Lmaooooo

[steel mural]

catarina bloodline is good

[cerulean breach]

nope, https://pobb.in/HlWHbP5f-YXz

[past mantle]

Cata bloodline is great.

[worthy cave]

yeah, for minions

[stoic horizon]

very good, but only if you can use it properly, its insane on DP

[ember wharf]

Hello can I get a refund from a bought MTX? Want to know how if possible

[cobalt blade]

its the same wording on regular searing

[worthy cave]

Farrul: minions

[stoic horizon]

contact support

[worthy cave]

Catarina; minions

[zealous pebble]

That's if they're not in the beam they still take damage

[fossil mural]

Yea, wtf does that mean

[past mantle]

Are you detonating your spectres?

[spice pecan]

email support

[cobalt blade]

who knows

[cerulean breach]

ye

[cobalt blade]

but either way your goal is detonating them lol

[past mantle]

Good luck.

[cerulean breach]

ignore what pobbin says about 60m, it's basically dot cap ignite + burning ground

[stoic horizon]

there are lines between you and each totem + between totems, they deal dot

[cerulean breach]

hmm?

[fossil mural]

So "suffer burning damage" means it applies the 4 second debuff?

[night fulcrum]

it never hit, it just put a dot between totems and you

[ember wharf]

I didn’t use the MTX after I bought do you think this helps with the refund? Or doesn’t have anything to do it

[past mantle]

You gonna farm exarch or eater with that?

[stoic horizon]

yes

[steel mural]

offerings can be good to anyone with queen's body

[cerulean breach]

no, just mapping

[split maple]

Farul, lycia, aul, trialmaster are all used by nonminion builds. Prolly missing one or two more

[past mantle]

Shouldn't matter.

[fossil mural]

Thats such a weird way to put it

[split maple]

Like idk whats your issue Ilya

[ember wharf]

Ok thanks for the help guys

[stoic horizon]

not sure, but afaik if you dont do this too often they will prob refund it for you

[cerulean breach]

@past mantle spectre is perfect dark marionnette - it respawns, like my golems, which also respawn

[worthy cave]

Aul is nice for the action speed can't be reduced, farrul for crit cats

[cobalt blade]

think +1 ring saw use for some minions too

[fiery marsh]

Can searing bond of detonation totem explode itself for insta pop?

[past mantle]

That is gonna take a hot minute to respawn still. It's 4s on both.

[spice pecan]

they explode when you reach max searing bond totems

[cerulean breach]

yeah, 4 seconds

[ember wharf]

Was gonna league start with trickster exsanguinate mines and bought the mercury one but now I don’t want to do trickster

[cerulean breach]

for clearing you just pop 1

[fossil mural]

5.5k flat burn that scales with spell damage at 3 pc

[stoic horizon]

if you place over the cap yes

[cerulean breach]

and you have 4 specters and 6 golems

for bosses you pop all and the ignite last long enough that everything will have respawned

[stoic horizon]

yeah its already biggest dot skill in the game at baseline charges, and hiero gets 1 for free

[pulsar dune]

you could reduce your totem limit to pop them immediately, but it wouldn't do much.

[night fulcrum]

it's not quantrik, its this guy :https://liquipedia.net/leagueoflegends/Spawn

[fiery marsh]

So technically I need negative power charges

[past mantle]

If you think that's good clear, build looks good.

[cerulean breach]

@past mantle I've played it before, it's decent clear

[zealous pebble]

No you want more power charges to scale the dot with the detonation

[hoary scarab]

no its quantrik

[fossil mural]

Yea for clear with traps... surely wont be jank

[stoic horizon]

but you get increased dmg per totem

[past mantle]

Why are we trying to reinvent the crucible wheel?

[fiery marsh]

Hiero can spam totems especially with emerge speed now

[past mantle]

[fiery marsh]

Shhhh. That shit was busted

[past mantle]

Okay, and?

[hoary scarab]

cause traps 🥀

[stoic horizon]

thats exactly why this was designed in a way you cant do old explode totems again

[fossil mural]

How many totems can you summon per cast manually

Maybe ignore traps

[stoic horizon]

2

[hoary scarab]

like 3?

[stoic horizon]

or 3 ye

[fallow escarp]

So are kalguran scarab of refinement gonna be giga expensive this league?

[fossil mural]

Yea sounds terrible

Has to be traps

[past mantle]

[fiery marsh]

Kinda bummed then. Dps increase for rf regardless

[fossil mural]

Possibly not, because the dudes work much faster

So maybe its not a very important scarab

[past mantle]

Doubt it.

[hoary scarab]

honestly if you only go like 4-5 totems, its aight

dont power charge stack

[spice pecan]

it also seems like if you over-trap, then as they explode/die the traps will keep popping and refilling you to max totems

[fossil mural]

Still 2 casts for explode. For clear sounds meh.

[fiery marsh]

Hiero so much placement speed the emerge is gonna be near instant now

[spice pecan]

testing 9 max totems with regular searing bond rn

[fossil mural]

Maybe if you clear with tether/rf

[fiery marsh]

Like over 200%

[mystic socket]

is it worth upgrading my int accuracy stacker

[hoary scarab]

didnt they change how totem placement speed works

[sleek barn]

https://pobb.in/-bAs7qWaTc-X I prefer BSoS for less clunkiness

[mystic socket]

with my standard funds

[stoic horizon]

yes but its irrelevant for this skill

[cerulean breach]

my build's a leaguestarter tho (well take out the FF/FF that's probably not happening on day 2)

[stoic horizon]

in fact the change was a nerf for this

[fossil mural]

Maybe not for clear, if they only explode once fully placed

[stoic horizon]

or no nvm

[wheat sinew]

Excuse you what the actual fuck xd

[fiery marsh]

It's a spell tho

[hoary scarab]

thats my point

[sleek barn]

yes I know it's pretty popular

but BSoS doesn't have maw of mischief as a required unique technically

[cerulean breach]

bro

maw of mischief is 1 alch on hour 6

[hoary scarab]

0.5 sec placement speed instead of 0.35, so its gonna feel a lot better now than after the change

[cerulean breach]

or farmable with cards on SSF within an hour or so

[sleek barn]

this is true

Im just stating my preference

[stoic horizon]

actually wasnt that the activation delay not placement speed?

[spice pecan]

i might actually yolo league start this

[empty canyon]

So what are y'all starting? I have no clue what to play

[sleek barn]

probably holy strike

into something

[hoary scarab]

wait it is ranged

[stoic horizon]

oh yeah

[cerulean breach]

https://pobb.in/HlWHbP5f-YXz

[native abyss]

im gonna go

wintertide brand

[fossil mural]

And its a nerf to base placement speed

[stoic horizon]

ranged attack, so doesnt affect spells

noice

[hardy heron]

Static Strike (non-transmute) shockwave mana stacker

[hoary scarab]

should be no difference for normal totems, only ballistas

[cerulean breach]

I still have to PoB a bleed glad

in case I want to farm expedition

[somber geyser]

definitely gonna play an awful homebrew build like always
consecrated path inquisitor

[fossil mural]

For exp you use bleed just to proc explodes

[tough cove]

also doing cpath but slayer

[fossil mural]

So its not really bleed

[tough cove]

cause i want easy mode for league starter

[cerulean breach]

wrong

[fossil mural]

No?

Lmao

[dire valley]

Hmm.

[cerulean breach]

you use bleed because it ignores all expedition mods

[fossil mural]

Exp has chance to avoid damage from hits

Its aids

[dire valley]

Where can I see the minions support gems that are being added?

[fossil mural]

You use phys dot

[celest skiff]

Holy Strike is not going to interact well with extra strikes is it

[stoic horizon]

nowhere

[sleek barn]

eh is there no immune to phys damage

[fossil mural]

That actually ignores mods

[cerulean breach]

I've done it before

[fossil mural]

There is

[cerulean breach]

but phys dot is another option

or chaos dot

[fossil mural]

Only mod that actuallt affects phys dot really

[cerulean breach]

yeah every build is affected by immune

but those are highlighted

we don't count those

[fossil mural]

Yea on shit expedition im guessing

[cerulean breach]

no

fully juiced

[fossil mural]

Youll get 60-90 avoid damage from hits

And it will suck

[sleek barn]

I just go ignite prolif for exped

[onyx adder]

Bleed is pretty good vs expedition but i do agree non ailment dots are better, with the exception that poison prolif is also really good

[cerulean breach]

no

[fossil mural]

Ignite avoid is like the most common mod

In exp

[cerulean breach]

expedition is immune to ignite regularly

[past mantle]

Ignite for juiced exped isn't the play.

[onyx adder]

Not just the avoid hits mod but also bleed sucks versus proxy shields since bleed explosions dont chain

[cerulean breach]

it wasn't a big deal with vaal earthquake

[sleek barn]

too lazy to do bleed

[onyx adder]

So u end up having to clear more

[void oasis]

Where is jung roan interview

[dire valley]

Seems like Dark monarch might be better for endgame than Geoffris for HRoC

[sleek barn]

plus my builds can't handle juiced exped anyways

[cerulean breach]

not worth the time imo

[sleek barn]

sadge

[void oasis]

Wdym?

[cerulean breach]

I watched it, it was mostly just talk about general design philosophy

very little information about the upcoming league at all

I mean if that's what you like to see, then sure it's nice I guess

[spice pecan]

so the new searing bond has 30% more burning damage per totem detonated

[sleek barn]

oh exped is gonna be nice with mirage instance

[spice pecan]

300% more if you detonate 10 totems, with base damage of 2.5k

[void oasis]

What is it on, can’t see it on YouTube

[spice pecan]

that is a lot of flat damage

[potent bramble]

That's gotta be what, like at least 7 damage

[fossil mural]

7.5

[spice pecan]

and it sounds like they detonate at the same time rather than sequentially

[sleek barn]

I bet you won't do searing bond totems though

[split maple]

So now to get some increased into mix

[sleek barn]

[stoic horizon]

hm maybe unironically that ammy with the new searing, doesnt crit anyway

[split maple]

Cook me indigon pob by tomorrow

[spice pecan]

you think i won't? I've done regular searing bond + fbowb totems

[native abyss]

[sleek barn]

I will bet uh

1 mb

[spice pecan]

nomegalul on the indigon

[cerulean breach]

@fossil mural I farmed a mageblood on day 2 using Expedition Scarab of Archaeology in settlers btw using vaal earthquake bleed glad

[fossil mural]

Depends on its level scaling ig

[surreal mulch]

wasn't there a way to convert spell damage to attack damage?

[stoic horizon]

true

[spice pecan]

crown of eyes

[surreal mulch]

right

what about flat?

[split maple]

No takebackies

[stoic horizon]

fireflower in poe1 where

[gentle chasm]

[fossil mural]

Ill look into that, but it sounds just worse than phys dot because of hit avoidance

[sleek barn]

esm dark mode

[stoic horizon]

https://giphy.com/gifs/cat-flash-flashbang-9hXT5I4TekIeCzp4b8

[cerulean breach]

it was occassionally annoying but vaal earthquake hits a lot so mostly wasn't a problem

[sleek barn]

where does bleed get prolif

[cerulean breach]

if you have some good phys dot pobs that are as tanky as lucky block glad, let me know

[sleek barn]

or is it explosions

[fossil mural]

Its vaal eq

You just bleed all mobs

[sleek barn]

no way Vaal questions and answers

[fossil mural]

They explode

[cerulean breach]

yeah you just run through with phasing lol

[slow niche]

i can't believe this shit

[sleek barn]

I see

how does it counter block

besides hitting a lot

[fossil mural]

Mastery

[slow niche]

ghazzy made a dom blow guardian instead of necromancer, the gods smile upon me

[sleek barn]

no block chance reduction support

riot

[cerulean breach]

attack mastery

hits can't be blocked

[sleek barn]

damn attacks have it easy

[fossil mural]

Ye

[sleek barn]

throw one for the spell casters por favor

[fossil mural]

Spells open chests

this was my theorycrafting at the time

[sleek barn]

nice

[sleek barn]

I have jack shit to do day 2

I may just finish campaign and go to bed

[spice pecan]

lightmode user, request denied

[dim sonnet]

i refuse to believe lightmode users are real

[fossil mural]

I saw that, didnt read every comment

[dim sonnet]

must be some AI agent

[fossil mural]

@karmic gust

[karmic gust]

i dont use light mode smh

[cerulean breach]

@fossil mural I must admit I'm slightly interested in this skill for clearing expedition

[slow niche]

wtf is a floe

[cerulean breach]

@past mantle what's a floe?

you're the flo expert around here

[rancid sluice]

the lady from the progressive ads

[lean urchin]

floe is a noun that specifically refers to a mass of floating ice, whereas flow can be both a noun and a verb related to the movement of liquids or the seamless progression of anything.

[fossil mural]

Yea I was thinking on cold dots, but they get mogged by both res and generic dr

While phys dots ignore armour, resists and you can use maim for 10% inc damage taken

Which basically doubles damage against 90dr

[pulsar dune]

Could go aura effect on blasphemy frostbite from the ring, that pretty much negates +res

[cerulean breach]

the resistance is fair

[plush gulch]

like ice cream that weirdly float from my fridge to my hand, nothing I can do about it

it just happen

[fossil mural]

Curse immunity is one of the most common mods too

[cerulean breach]

tons of builds have inc dmg taken though

[fossil mural]

Hard to apply it

Its usually shock

[cerulean breach]

https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Bonechill_Support

[stoic horizon]

calcs for pobing new searing bond if anyone wants to do it

[cerulean breach]

even more than your idea

[icy swan]

what build should i go for in 3.28

[fossil mural]

Immunity to chill

[cerulean breach]

if you get the combination, then sure

[pulsar dune]

Fair fair

[onyx adder]

This is why i still think chaos dot is the best build for expedition if u want to do nothing else

Wither shits on that mod

[fossil mural]

Just from my testing double remnant + big bomb is guaranteed brick on like everything

[fossil mural]

Wither is hard to apply so early

[wheat sinew]

bombastic totems

[cerulean breach]

@fossil mural my problem with phys dot is that there's no good build to play 🙁

[spice pecan]

is the 36% less damage from trap support

[cerulean breach]

at least none I've seen

[fossil mural]

Yea I just copied ele set ups personally

Without the golems

Xdd

[stoic horizon]

no, its to take normal searing bonds base to the new gems

[fossil mural]

Still good

[cerulean breach]

big boom expedition without 96% block is a no-go for me

[spice pecan]

gotcha

[fossil mural]

I trigger reap and exsang

With spellslinger

[dark grove]

I never Play expe big boom because there is no limit of max 4 dmg immunities

[fossil mural]

Worked well enough

[dim sonnet]

exsanguinate is pretty good no ?

[cerulean breach]

the dmg immunities you just read and work around

[dim sonnet]

especially mines

[cerulean breach]

no dmg and don't like swapping to reap for single target

[cerulean breach]

that's hit based

[fossil mural]

Like how do you apply max wither consistently

On all mobs

Day 1

I think only that unique wand can do it

[lethal berry]

i do believe you can get to 21 max totems quite easily for this

[fossil mural]

You hit them with kb

[cerulean breach]

@fossil mural if you can make it work the bloodsoaked banner is proabbly the best farmer btw

[fossil mural]

Then chaos dot

[dim sonnet]

what about bleed bow stuff ?

[fossil mural]

Yea but its exceptional. It is def the best variant

[cerulean breach]

is ass, unlike vaal earthquake which ihts everything all the time that runs into 'avoid dmg' mod a lot

[fossil mural]

No block you get mogged, have to kite a lot

And damage is just ass

And still runs into hit avoidance

[dim sonnet]

how ass are we talking though ? like storm brand lvl of ass or actually garbage ?

[cerulean breach]

what about corrupting cry?

[fossil mural]

I think bleed bow in general feels bad to play

[steel mural]

dont talk that about my storm brand

[dim sonnet]

wdym your storm brand ?

im playing storm brand too

[steel mural]

https://klipy.com/gifs/the-homies-pour-one-out-for-the-homies-gif

[dim sonnet]

unless i accidently play spectres somehow

[fossil mural]

Its terribad

Cause of how it works

[cerulean breach]

I've never played it

[fossil mural]

Its one enemy per attack

Or smh

[stoic horizon]

sure but then you gotta summon them all

[fossil mural]

Useless for clear

[dim sonnet]

https://pobb.in/554bE7o1doMp

the loss to woke added lighting is tragic though

[cerulean breach]

huh? I'm talking about the cry itself

[dim sonnet]

hopefully we have exceptional gems that do something for brands

[lethal berry]

use traps imo

[stoic horizon]

yeah, just gotta get throwing speed somewhere

[steel mural]

forget spectres, if u love storm brand like me, arakaaly spiders is your next build

run around while everything burn

[hoary scarab]

21 totems for like 80% less dmg cause you gotta use traps

[dim sonnet]

that didnt do it for me tbh. i just dont like cyclone its too slow

[hoary scarab]

rather use 4-5 totems and have comparable dmg without traps

[steel mural]

cyclone? hahaha

[lethal berry]

u can use sunblast to get around the cluster traps downside tbf

[dim sonnet]

isent that how arakali works ?

[hoary scarab]

thats still not worth it

[stoic horizon]

sunblast feels garbage without huge throwing speed

[steel mural]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-doaYhX5kgk

that's what im talking about, and its low dmg in this versiion like 70M dps

i made one PoB with 252M

[hoary scarab]

what language is that

[arctic tundra]

is there ever an angle where you go 0 max power charges to have searing bond of detonation always explode instantly?

[fossil mural]

Oh wait, it applies 4 stacks itself? Yea that could work actually. I thought it applies only with attacks exerted

[dim sonnet]

how do you spwan the spiders though

that looks comfy

[vague steeple]

Little question: Is holy shield so bad? i see all Holy skills but holy shield is not in...^^

[dire valley]

Honestly, I might farm settlers this league. I havent touched it at all.

[steel mural]

its comfy af, we do nothing hahaha

[hoary scarab]

you mean this?

[dim sonnet]

how do you spawn the spiders at first ?

[dire valley]

Walking sim

[cerulean breach]

maybe time to pob a corrupting cry build

[keen bloom]

when in doubt, worms

[steel mural]

this gloves make the spiders self-sustain

at first we use the worm flask

[vague steeple]

ah yes this new realitation skill .^^

[fossil mural]

This might be better than cf

[vague steeple]

sry i mean builds for it .^^

[dim sonnet]

and for ubers ?

[hoary scarab]

its prolly alright, but its not on the radar til we actually know how it works mechanically ingame

[dim sonnet]

penance mark ?

[keen bloom]

Also you don't necessarily need the gloves, if I remember correctly (might be completely wrong?) as long as the things die to the spider's poison (and not a direct spider hit), the kill is considered yours by virtue of being a dot kill

[vague steeple]

ok i think holy hammer will the new Volcanic fissure of snaking ... 😄

[fossil mural]

Thing is with cf you can apply it to all expedition mobs at once

[arctic tundra]

do you have a pob you can share? looks really cool

[fossil mural]

Cause wand skills have insane coverage

[hoary scarab]

holy hammers does look incredibly solid yea

[bold scarab]

No

[dire valley]

So congregation support with Holy relic and Dark monarch could get like 5/6 relics?

[hoary scarab]

yes

[steel mural]

no, we can use the flask 3 times if im not wrong

[dire valley]

Its only 38% at max lvl and qual

[steel mural]

3 minutes to kill uber is enough

[cerulean breach]

you'd still run into the 'avoid' problem, no? how would you apply?

[fossil mural]

With cf you dont care for damage

[keen bloom]

Like, Gravebind is only realistically necessary if you're killing your worms with your minions, and not with a spell

which, ya know, can happen

[fringe idol]

is smite just more damage than smite of divine judgement

[cerulean breach]

I care for dmg, I think the new expeditions are going to be rather juicy

[fossil mural]

Like an attack can do 0 damage and it apply cf stack

[spice pecan]

shit we don't know what the quality does on new searing bond

[steel mural]

yeah but its clunky, sometimes dont work and u stop the walking simulator

[keen bloom]

smite for supports, smite of divine judgement for carries

[cerulean breach]

oh in that sense

[spice pecan]

i wonder if it's still +2 totems

[dark grove]

That's the neat part. I only read craft of exile and poedb

[fringe idol]

Assume I'm solo.

[gritty epoch]

Divine ire and worm flask is the normal play

[keen bloom]

That's got more to do with spiders not refreshing their duration though, the issue is that if you spawned all of your spiders at the same time, they will despawn at the same time

so, even with the gloves, if you spawned everything at the same time, they'll despawn all at the same time ; if that happens between packs, then y'oure fucked

[fallow escarp]

Volatile Vaal orb is just Vaal orb with new effect or is it like a double corrupt poof or work situation?

[spice pecan]

so 15 totems with 10 max power charges, 16 if using shaper shield, 18 if shaper shield and if the quality gives +2 max

[keen bloom]

then generally divine judgement better

[fossil mural]

Its poe2 overcorrupt

[wheat sinew]

it's poe 2 vaal orb

[fossil mural]

Lmao

[wheat sinew]

divines and +- up to *1.22

[steel mural]

i have tested a lot and, without these gloves i need to look at the spider's numbers, with them i dont care about nothing is way comfy

[fallow escarp]

I know it’s the divine values effect but can you use it on uncorrupted or no

[fringe idol]

despite the damage diff?

[hoary scarab]

you can only use it on uncorrupted ye

[fossil mural]

Ggg, add double corrupted

Next step

[cerulean breach]

@fossil mural main reason I find corrupting cry interesting is it's significant'y higher dmg

[fossil mural]

[keen bloom]

+1 target vs +5 targets

[fossil mural]

Yea

[hoary scarab]

theres a bunch of stuff that competes with double corrupt this league

[fossil mural]

Its also warcries, so maybe some funk there

[fallow escarp]

I was planning my build around enmity ring so that thing can go crazy for me lol

[fossil mural]

Poe2 double corrupt works on corrupted items

[keen bloom]

I mean I suppose technically you could want to swap to a normal vaal smite for bosses

But, like, the clear between divine judgement is basic smite is just incomparable

[cerulean breach]

@fossil mural wonder when the first corrupting cry forbidden shako comes on the market

[fossil mural]

Diy

[cerulean breach]

[keen bloom]

I just want a 120% darkness enthroned, it's not too much to ask, right

[cerulean breach]

125?

[fossil mural]

122

[keen bloom]

Well, 122 if it works like poe2, but 120 would probably be a softcap

[icy swan]

heard totems will be broekn now

[night bone]

I'm trying to decide if it's better to use a coin on my exsanguinate or get a lv 21 version

[keen bloom]

Simple, put setup in PoB w/ lvl 21, then add the lvl 1 support you wanna test and remove 1 exsang level

[fossil mural]

Anything that works off of stacking and has 3 in it might be crazy

Going from 3 to 4 is huge

[keen bloom]

the funniest 3 => 4 actually doesn't do 3=>4

[night bone]

The problem is there much fewer lv1 gems that work with mine-skills that can go on the gem... like I can't put minefield on exsanguinate

[keen bloom]

it's Kulemak, it rolls 60-90% increased effectf of veiled mods, which could in theory vaal up to 109, which would put the +3 support to +4 support

[fossil mural]

Yea overcorrupt

Does wild shi

[keen bloom]

If it were basic exsang I'd imagine Cruelty would be a good choice, but on mines, probably not

(to have at lvl 1 I mean)

[keen bloom]

on kulemak especially, a perfect roll is technically not a 1.22 but a 1.4484

like, you "double dip"

I did the math 'cos I like death oath and uh

[night bone]

It's also presumably tricky to get the support gem you want on it

[fringe idol]

Would that be true if it was 4 targets (smite) vs 8 targets (Divine)

[night bone]

compared to getting lv 21

[cerulean breach]

@fossil mural another kind of crazy idea is storm call of trarthus

[keen bloom]

perfect kulemak would go from 188% increased chaos / 91% chaos dot multi to 279% increased chaos / 135% chaos dot multi

[keen bloom]

how are you getting the extra smite targets tho

[night bone]

SSF is gonna have a hard time with the coins I reckon

[cerulean breach]

in many ways it's perfect

[night bone]

that's a lot of skill gem levelling

[cerulean breach]

you can pre-stack it since it's ground effect

[fringe idol]

attack mastery +1 and 1 or 2 from gloves.

[cerulean breach]

since it's a ground effect it should bypass bubbles and block dudes

[slow sonnet]

SEARING BOND SWEEP

1 BONDILLION TOTEMS

[cerulean breach]

thank you for your contribution

[keen bloom]

Then you're comparing 4 targets to like 20 targets

[fringe idol]

oh I see.

[keen bloom]

Divine judgement is lightning strikes 3 (+0.1 x quality) targets within 5 meters w/ 38% more area damage

[fossil mural]

Holy shit you are right...

[fringe idol]

So in that case you should just swap to molten strike for Ubers instead of base Smite.

[keen bloom]

basic smite is strikes 1 (not quality) target within 5 meter w/ 20% less area damage

[fossil mural]

Way less flat

But spell damage works

[cerulean breach]

..flat?

[fossil mural]

Its 2000 base

[keen bloom]

Honestly, idk what kind of build you intend to do, but in, uh, mercs, a guildmate went smite armorstacker w/ divine judgement, and he did not, in fact, swap anything for ubers

[fossil mural]

I guess you can add it

And use both

[fringe idol]

glad. Generic league start until I can eventually armor stack

[fossil mural]

Cry and storm call

[fringe idol]

sorry

champ

[keen bloom]

yeah I was like why would you go glad 😮

if you're playing SC and are not afraid to trip on mana siphoners and die, you should probably consider the early doryprot start

w/ shitty mirrored rings & co

[night bone]

I think the best lv1 gem to get is gonna be high impact mines, it's 6% less than levelling it up to 20, as opposed to most support gems which are 10%... still though, you're losing about 12% on average from going down to 20 versus 21 on the main skill, plus the 6 from the lv1 high impact... that's 18 total dps loss, but it frees up a new support that should be 20-40 more... so on average it should be win, if you can get the right lv1 on the skill

[fringe idol]

It's high on the list of starts.

that said I dont know how to do it

[slow niche]

ah fuck now there are 2 more dom blow guardian builds

spoiled for choices

[dim sonnet]

i wish claude can attend meetings so i can just play poe

[keen bloom]

get lightning res to -200, other res higher, a lightining taken as cold talisman can help, replica dreamfeather x2, determination, pew pew

can probably even use the new essence to get +6 to determination

[fringe idol]

so just armour stacking but with extra steps.

[keen bloom]

armour stacking, lightning edition

[fringe idol]

Gotcha

[keen bloom]

and, uh, don't do baran maps

[fringe idol]

LFMAO

[keen bloom]

you see the magic squares?

yeah, don't

[fringe idol]

insta death

[tough cove]

also dont do that one map with the lightning squid

[night bone]

I don't think it's worth it even if it works, but I'm curious if Gloomfang makes exsanguinate chain?

[cerulean breach]

@fossil mural hmm I think the base dmg on thrarthus is too low

[fringe idol]

is armour stacking worth it? How much do I need to do this? I assume its a mid/high budget swap. How much armour are we wlooking at

[sleek ocean]

how much consecrated ground effect can we get from the tree

[stoic horizon]

lmao why is galesight on burning wiki page

[ashen bronze]

Do the Leagues in this game generally require more play-time than Seasons in Diablo 4?

[stoic horizon]

depends on how good you are and how much you want to achieve

[soft perch]

guys hear me out

i have a really novel idea for a build

'bleed slams'

[dark grove]

Depending on ur goals 40h+

[gentle chasm]

ok quin calm down

[ashen bronze]

Just in general. I typically don't have a massive amount of playtime. Someone told me the other day that investing like 6-ish hours per week in a League is okay. Wondering if Season in Diablo 4 would be more my speed, if it requires less time commitment. Both games seem nice.

But I definitely am not the type to sink tons of time per week into one game.

[gentle chasm]

they require as much playtime as you feel like sinking

[stoic horizon]

diablo is definetly more casual, but in general there is no "required" play time, you set the goals you want to achieve

[lethal berry]

this searing bond is like free dot cap dps

[ashen bronze]

A bit more casual may be for me, honestly. I remember I played on release and I didn't like the dodging/rolling cooldown. I played POE2 for the first time last night and liked the dodging and sprinting!

Wish I could get D4 but with combat leaning a bit more similar to POE2.

[stoic horizon]

you are in the wrong chat for that, this is the poe1 channel

[gentle chasm]

poe1 has none of that

[ashen bronze]

... oh, whoops.

[gentle chasm]

[night bone]

Woah...

[ashen bronze]

Lmao. Thanks for letting me know. My bad!

[sleek ocean]

about time! gonna be huge
