^

#

athena is right

#

golems are strong too tbh

#

just super costly

loud wadi
#

cuz I just want a build ic an finish the game with . cant get past tier 10 maps

tough roost
#

Skeletons are super strong signle target, Zombies are good tanks and good clear, SRS are great clear and good single target, Spectres are great at anything depending which one you summon

#

Phantasms are good, Spiders from Arakaali's Fang are good

modest cave
#

What about the wolves PogChamp

loud wadi
#

anyone have a link toa dope summoner build I can study for legacy

tough roost
#

Wolves are trash garbage, sadly

#

Herald of Agony is technically a summoner sorta not really

#

Herald of Purity/Dominating Blow

#

Those three are good as well

#

Also the league is Legion, not Legacy

marsh wagon
#

Some minion ai esp the stinky zombies aren't so hot

#

When u dodge aoe, they stop atk n run around w you

loud wadi
#

so spectres is the way to go if I want a summoning build

#

i wanna be like a super tank too tho… so like spectre occulist build?

tough roost
#

well, any is the way to go really. Just depends on preference I'd say 🤔

loud wadi
#

whats the funnest 😃

tough roost
#

hmmm, I'd say Zombies + Skeletons, personally

midnight phoenix
#

Golem is also an option

topaz radish
#

Which past league mechanics will be part of 3.7?

loud wadi
#

i want just a few powerful minons. not an army of ten zomb and skeles

midnight phoenix
#

Same past mechanics as 3.6

#

Not counting synth obv

#

@loud wadi sounds like either spectre or golem

loud wadi
#

ok thanks

midnight phoenix
#

Also if you yourself want to be mega tanky

#

And ur ok with just one powerful minion

#

You can look at herald of agony

topaz radish
#

@midnight phoenix Everything in 3.6!? Like Incursion Bestiary Betrayal Breach everything?

midnight phoenix
#

Yes yes yes and rarely

tough roost
#

well, everything that wasn't Synthesis

turbid quartz
#

Starting to think maybe duelist might be my go to now

#

instead of shadow

#

even though I like trickster

honest egret
#

i thought i was pretty set on gladiator lacerate, but now i'm not sure if i wanna do something with berserker

modest cave
#

im going slayer.

#

for sure i think

whole radish
#

zerker just seems clumsy to me

#

lose all charges every time you have to pick something up

silver kettle
#

don't have to go the blitz route on zerker

#

I'm expecting my league starter to be a noncrit zerker at this point, though obviously that can change depending on patch notes

#

the attack speed is slightly less ludicrous but that's okay

whole radish
#

i mean at that point why not just roll slayer?

honest egret
#

can't speak for viper, but sometimes i make decisions "just because i want to"

midnight phoenix
#

Im not sure if i will play any of the new buffed ascendancies honestly

#

Really need skill gems

#

If the gem numbers dont stack up im on stormbrand prolly

#

Or bv

gleaming cave
#

If legion jewels change things based off seed & socket, how will they be traded without having screenshots of what it does or some calculator to show what the possible results are.

midnight phoenix
#

No idea mate

gleaming cave
#

its going to be so messed up

midnight phoenix
#

We've all been asking that question too

#

We don't know how many seeds there are

#

How many jewels that corresponds to

#

What the mapping between them is

#

Or whether we'll be able to figure that out easily

gleaming cave
#

rip POB

midnight phoenix
#

Im not colossally fussed about it

#

But im not sure i would plan around getting the perfect jewel for ur build

violet nymph
#

my favorite summoner i’ve ever done was necromancer worb skeles

midnight phoenix
#

Or u might end up in the same spot as the folk that planned around atziri reflection in 3.3

violet nymph
#

worb for maps skeles for bosses

gleaming cave
#

Nah I dont plan builds around key uniques pretty much ever

violet nymph
#

bosses*

gleaming cave
#

If I make enough currency then I respec

midnight phoenix
#

Planning around uniques is fine

#

Its just we really dunno rarity

#

So its risky

wide ridge
#

I wouldn't plan around a specific jewel, but I'm sure as heck making a second character to use the first jewel I find

violet nymph
#

i figure winter orb is gonna suck right

#

that’s probably a safe bet

wide ridge
#

it'll be fine

gleaming cave
#

active defense + winterorb having large skill duration.

wide ridge
#

it was crazy good, and got it's attack speed nurfed while not channeling

midnight phoenix
#

We'll see

tough roost
#

That's not the only adjustment

gleaming cave
#

wait we have patch notes?

midnight phoenix
#

We do not

wide ridge
#

no

#

it's the only change we're aware of

#

it'd take a lot to kill wo tho

midnight phoenix
#

There was specific commentary on worb in one of the faqs

#

Eh it wont take much to kill worb

#

They just have to hit it in the right spot

#

Tomorrow is the balance manifesto

gleaming cave
#

ofc nerfing something so it isnt used anymore is easy

tough roost
#

It's still, mechanically speaking, one of the strongest skills in the game

violet nymph
#

if it shoots too slowly while not channeling it’ll not be good

midnight phoenix
#

Aka the nerf train

#

So we'll know more after that

tough roost
#

Overlapping AoE, Attacks while you move, Long Duration, Long Range

#

So it'd have to be a good chunk for it to "die"

gleaming cave
#

auto targetting godbless

violet nymph
#

i expect the point of winter orb was to turn yourself into a turret

midnight phoenix
#

Remove the projectile tag and turn it into aoe spell lul

#

That'll kill it

#

Theres actually a lot of ways

gleaming cave
#

you mean like ball lightning?

midnight phoenix
#

But we'll see soon enough

#

Ur thinking of storm burst i thino

gleaming cave
#

ah ok

midnight phoenix
#

Ball lightning is still a projectile

tough roost
#

Sure, but they shouldn't kill it

midnight phoenix
#

Yer i dont disagree

tough roost
#

I mean I don't really care if it does get killed

midnight phoenix
#

I would rather it be overnerfed than undernerfed tho

gleaming cave
#

People ar ejust going to play whatever new thing that is busted

#

even if its slightly better than the rest

wide ridge
#

yep

turbid quartz
#

perfect cyclone build for next map

tough roost
#

Sure, but Winter Orb was far and above most other things

midnight phoenix
#

Like if ppl are still playing slayer worb after 3.7 im gonna be pretty marauder

gleaming cave
#

fortify getting mad buffs to the point you run it in your main 6l is gonna be interesting

turbid quartz
#

only way to spin2win

violet nymph
#

do we know yet which on kill mechanics are going to work against legion frozen mobs and which won't ?

dull epoch
#

they're trying to make everything work

#

supposedly

#

but ones that consume corpses wont work

silver kettle
#

We know corpse explosions won't and Contagion probably will. I believe that's all the specific information we've been given

violet nymph
#

will we know by the time the league start ? that's pretty important information to decide which build to start with

dull epoch
#

theres a big ass timer on the legion announcement

#

should probably refer to that

violet nymph
#

that's not quite what I asked

dull epoch
#

ah i misread your question

#

lol

violet nymph
#

it's fine

dull epoch
#

i think its safe to assume

#

that all on kill effects will work or that they eventually will

#

except for ones taht require corpses

#

because GGG has said they are working to get as many as possible working

violet nymph
#

I was thinking about autobomber herald of ice personaly

#

so I would need to be able to freeze/shatter

silver kettle
#

Herald of Ice is a corpse explosion

#

Definitely will not work

violet nymph
#

same with herald of ash ?

dull epoch
#

herald of ash is just generic overkill damage i think

#

let me check

violet nymph
#

also are you sure herald of ice count as a corpse explosion ? freeze and shattering is a pretty specific mechanic

dull epoch
#

i dont think herald of ash consumes corpses so

silver kettle
#

HoI is not quite technically a corpse explosion but it requires a corpse to shatter for it to trigger. Confirmed already that there will be no corpses or shattering

violet nymph
#

do you have source for confirmed no shattering ?

silver kettle
violet nymph
#

alright I'll check it out thanks

#

'There are several technicalities like corpse destruction effects not occurring (because no corpse is destroyed)'

#

is this it ?

#

it doesn't really mention freeze and shatter

silver kettle
#

Shatter is a corpse being destroyed

#

I imagine you'll be able to freeze them but they won't shatter when you drop their life to 0

violet nymph
#

idk shatter occurs on killing a frozen ennemy and doesn't leave a corpse

#

technically it happens before the ennemy becomes a corpse

turbid quartz
#

waaait so if all will work

#

ED+Cont? 😮

violet nymph
#

well as long as at least herald of ash work I'm fine even if herald of ice doesn't

#

but it would be nice to get some sort of confirmation before league start

silver kettle
#

Idk I think it's perfectly clear and you're just trying to read too much into it

#

If I am wrong and it works then you'll have my sincere apologies

violet nymph
#

I think with the information we have it might work and it might not work

silver kettle
#

@turbid quartz Chris said Contagion should work

#

He wasn't completely sure

dull epoch
#

^yea pretty sure they said on baeclast that ed+cont will work?

#

dont quote me on that

#

even if they dont work at launch I think they intend to make them work eventually

velvet palm
#

Between whether or not it worked he said "yes"

#

Rather than "yes, it will work"

turbid quartz
#

I'm over here thinking of frost blades builds.

#

yet I could sleeper it

#

with Ed/Cont

violet nymph
#

you could also try frost blades + herald of ice autobomb

#

if it works

clear gust
#

where did additional damage with ailments on champion go ;/

#

time to drop perma fortify and inves in dread banner :V

#

invest*

#

btw, does ichimonji mitigate the effect on allies with banners when placed?

buoyant arrow
#

MasterFull Form from slayer + 0 frenzy = 0 end charges

knotty yew
#

@turbid quartz or just be a man and go flicker strike

#

then hold down the button and kill all the legion

north dragon
#

how bad is

#

flicker on u'elder

#

not dmg but the fight

patent canyon
#

pretty sure you use something like molten for single target as flicker

#

but shouldnt be too bad since you can use movement skills at any point now to dodge

frigid raptor
#

what s the new rage giving? chance to deal double damage, attack speed, and percent of life lost per sec?

knotty yew
#

@patent canyon depends on your build, but for uber elder it is widely recommended to at least have a backup skill for hitting shaper during the laser phase, as flicker will generally kill you

#

I personally prefer Vaal Double Strike to Molten Strike, but that's mostly due to the way I intend to play flicker :p

patent canyon
#

wrong pin

languid path
knotty yew
#

Molten Strike is better for Oro's builds I suppose, but Oro's builds are the lowest ceiling flicker builds sooo

#

not those you want to hit uber elder with

frigid raptor
#

oh so rage flicker won t be that good..

knotty yew
#

rage flicker WILL be good

#

if you go RoR + Blitz you get like 40% more attack speed and 96% increased attack speed from ascendancy

#

it's crazy

#

(also a shitton of damage)

#

And you don't get to take aspect of carnage which, while fun in terms of big numbers, does make you rather squishy if you're also going right side of the tree

karmic bay
#

here ya go, a 3.7 Rage flicker

#

30 aps unbuffed

frigid raptor
#

attack speed and movement speed stacking for nothing tho

#

wait

knotty yew
#

attack speed is always good

#

movement speed, well

frigid raptor
#

attack speed gives smth to flicker?

karmic bay
#

Yeah, u flicker faster

knotty yew
#

well, yeah, attack speed

#

😄

karmic bay
#

or wait mb, it was 30aps with v haste llol

knotty yew
#

curious to see how you built yours, tho, mine crested at ~28aps if memory serves

frigid raptor
#

ow shit

knotty yew
#

lemme fire up opb

karmic bay
#

23 aps unbuffed

#

If u get AS on gear, extra frenzy on gear and shit like that u can push 40aps

#

with buffs of

knotty yew
#

eeh yours is slightly different

#

bit more lefts ide I suppose

karmic bay
#

Aye, gotta use claws to manage mana lol

knotty yew
#

suggestion tho

#

Use lyco

#

less attack speed but more reliability

karmic bay
#

oh, lol nvm that tree

#

It was for Oni

knotty yew
#

ah

#

yeah 'cos you don't even have any chance to bleed atm

#

it's kinda weird :p

#

lemme edit it a bit

frigid raptor
#

so

#

what ascendancy nodes you take?

knotty yew
#

also stance might be better than herald of ash

#

gonna go RoR + Blitz imho

frigid raptor
#

carnage, rite and slaughter?

frigid raptor
#

@knotty yew so which of carnage or slaughter you don t pick?

#

i m on the phone fluffee :(

karmic bay
#

Ah

#

Its a 26.7 aps unbuffed flicker thing, 780k shaper dps unbuffed

#

Blitz / RoR

frigid raptor
#

and the other 2?

karmic bay
#

Well, the ones that come before them 😛

frigid raptor
#

they are connected to the main one

karmic bay
#

No, they are 4 pointers

frigid raptor
#

oh nvm

karmic bay
#

^^

frigid raptor
#

ohh

#

so no carnage

#

carnage looks pretty dope on flicker tho

#

i don t think blitz is worth

#

i mean 4 points for it

karmic bay
#

But should be able to switch to Bladestorm in blood stance to drop like, 10 pools a second

#

Blitz is so worth it

frigid raptor
#

idk how bladestorm works

#

worthier than carnage?

karmic bay
#

Yeah, ended up giving more dmg

frigid raptor
#

what would tou choose

karmic bay
#

As there are like... Very few sources of more attack speed

#

but many sources of more dmg

frigid raptor
#

40% attack speed or 40% damage

karmic bay
#

40% AS

frigid raptor
#

tho it s 40% MORE damage

karmic bay
#

And its 40% MORE attackspeed too

#

if it was increased i wouldnt bother with it

frigid raptor
#

which from my knowledge is calculated after all the increased damage multipliers

karmic bay
#

True

frigid raptor
#

ooo

#

more as too

#

then

#

isn t it worthier to multiply the one who s bigger?

#

if you have more dmg multipliers, the 40% more damage will be improoving more too

#

and also

karmic bay
#

Think of it like this, (Base dmg * (all damage increases) * (all more increases)) * (Base AS * (all AS inc) * (all AS More))

frigid raptor
#

for blitz, you take flawless surgery who doesn t really helps you

karmic bay
#

A ton of crit, flat damage and crit mult?

knotty yew
#

the 20-30 flat damage is insane btw

karmic bay
#

Wut.

frigid raptor
#

do you need crit?

karmic bay
#

Well, if you are building a crit character

#

THen yes

knotty yew
#

you always want crit

#

😄

karmic bay
#

well, g2g, cyall

frigid raptor
#

lol i suck honestly then xd i m used to elemental dmg more

#

and RoR is also worthier than carnage?

#

it looks like it.. it s hard honestly

knotty yew
#

so @karmic bay

#

well I'm kinda late but

#

That's what I'd be going for with a zerker GR toon

wild arch
#

Anyone got a time capsule to skip to patch notes?

#

I wanna do a melee ignite build so bad but there's no sign of any ailment based melee skills yet

minor jungle
#

do full fire earthquake 🤷

wild arch
#

I thought of that

#

But you can't use Oro with it

#

Which is sad

#

There's the option of running a cheeky ignite brain rattler

#

Which on second thought sounds amazing

minor jungle
#

I don't see the relevance between brain rattler and ignite tho.

#

something like, chieftain earthquake should be fine enough for ignitequake I guess

silver kettle
#

Stormfire @minor jungle

minor jungle
#

oh right that ring is a thing

violet nymph
#

guys, will raider get some changes in legion or did they already reveal all the ascendancy changes they planned

#

No changes to raider @violet nymph

#

thats sad

#

now raider will just be outclassed

#

Yup. As it should be

#

why should it be :(

sinful hazel
#

So zerker is pretty nuts. I'm wondering if 70% crit chance on flicker with 15 aps will be enough to keep up max blitz charges and frenzies

shadow thistle
#

Yeah I wonder

north dragon
#

only 15aps? pepelaugh

#

anyways, jokes aside. once u get a few stacks going

#

its gonna go up from there

sinful hazel
#

15 aps with minimal investment on tree. Most of it being % damage, life, and a little bit of crit

north dragon
#

flicking to the moon to flicking to uranus

sinful hazel
#

Build starts with 80% effective before blitz takes over

north dragon
#

im acutally starting that too

#

just that

sinful hazel
#

50% and 60% without flasks

north dragon
#

im afraid the price of the weapon would be so high

#

lmao

sinful hazel
#

Ive grabbed a terminus XD

north dragon
#

in legion

#

i got a perfect roll one

sinful hazel
#

I dont XD

north dragon
#

in current league

#

zerker sounds nuts after ramping up

#

before that it feels meh

sinful hazel
#

I think 7.5% crit and 400pdps is gonna be the avg to shoot for it

#

Yea the hardest part will be the ramp up.

#

Flicker has that issue too

#

But once it doea

#

Ho boi

frigid raptor
#

with RoR flicker you shall be eable to easily reach 30aps

north dragon
#

acutally

#

what monitor are u using

#

mines dying

sinful hazel
#

Ror?

north dragon
#

the 40% more aspd node i think

sinful hazel
#

Oh rita of ruin

north dragon
#

nvm

#

its triple effect with 5% degen

#

i think the duration of the degen is around 4seconds?

sinful hazel
#

Yea you want that. 75% inc aps

north dragon
#

if u dont

#

hit

#

anything

#

as in not gaining rage

sinful hazel
#

Yea rage falls of "recently"

north dragon
#

ruins so nice

#

acutally

#

maybe not

#

or maybe so

sinful hazel
#

Also

north dragon
#

its crave thats tasty

#

a 2 pointer

sinful hazel
#

I wonder how fast the beserk skill qill consume rage

#

Cause if it is slower than .3 seconds

#

You can just ignore the degen

north dragon
#

im going 10-12-2-4 in that order

#

or maybe 10-12 first

sinful hazel
#

Blitz first?

north dragon
#

early game

sinful hazel
#

Or is that rage first

north dragon
#

wont have thatmuch crit

#

acutally

#

idk

#

lmao

#

10-2-4-12

#

4 when we have the level to get terminus est

#

to use*

#

eh

#

no

#

fuck me

#

im confused

#

10 looks nice early

#

for level 30+

#

unless theres a better way to gain rage at that level

sinful hazel
#

Personally I'm gonna go rage first. It's a lot of damage early and easy to get at least a bit of it. Honestly I dont think blitz before uber is a good idea. Cause 200% reduced crit is gonna be hard on you with a low budget/gear

north dragon
#

eh

#

its not really 200%

#

the notes to it

#

gives u 105% crit chance

sinful hazel
#

Still. It hurts the consistency you need for terminus.

#

Also leveling cyclone probably

north dragon
#

will see the patch notes to decide on what skill to level with first

frigid raptor
#

2 it s the nicest

#

20-30 phys dmg is insane for leveling

sinful hazel
#

I'm really curious what they are planning numbers with accuracy

north dragon
#

although its nice i prefer going faster along with dmg? i guess

#

i could use ele dmg weapons or so early

#

u have that attack speed

sinful hazel
#

I think rage 1, crit 1, rage 2, crit 2 is my path

frigid raptor
#

@north dragon you won t use flicker early tho right?

north dragon
#

nope

#

untill i get terminus

#

and tr yit out

#

lmao

#

hopefully its not expensive af

#

considering we have a fewppl here talking ab out it

#

im sure theres many others

#

thinking about it

sinful hazel
#

It is pretty common

frigid raptor
#

it wont be more than 20 c for sure

north dragon
#

20c early is almost like 1ex

#

esp first day

frigid raptor
#

oh you re a good player

north dragon
#

nope i suck

#

i just play more than others

frigid raptor
#

:))

#

even so, reaching lvl 60 first day is snth

north dragon
#

eh its pretty norm for my guild

#

im one of the slowest

#

lol

frigid raptor
#

how many hours it takes you then?

north dragon
#

took me about 6hours+ in flashback ssf

#

played necro srs lul

#

but im slightly proud that i coudl get rank 1 necro for a while

#

and i gave up

#

knowing that i can't grind to 100

#

lmao

frigid raptor
#

oh xd so you really are a good player

#

then idk man pray ^^

north dragon
#

tbh srs is pretty decent

#

my friends plays it like a damn pro

frigid raptor
#

maybe first day you keep on sundering or whatever level skill you use

north dragon
#

he got into top 10 solo in flashback not ssf for awhile using srs

#

hmm

#

sunder

#

ew

frigid raptor
#

after the first day, you probably are able to buy it

north dragon
#

idk men

violet nymph
#

I mean i hit maps in 7-8 hours. The game is pretty easy during leveling when you remember layouts

frigid raptor
#

what s srs?

north dragon
#

its easy if u know what skills to go for leveling

#

but

#

melee

#

im not sure

frigid raptor
#

exactly

#

what skills do you think you ll be using?

north dragon
#

waiting for patch

frigid raptor
#

sunder feels really heavy and by that i mean slow

violet nymph
#

Cyclone

frigid raptor
#

meme or?

north dragon
#

waiting for patch notes to decide

#

its like, there maybe better leveling skills

violet nymph
#

@frigid raptor so far the best leveling skill is molten strike for melee cuz its pretty good

sinful hazel
#

I'm thinking cyclone for leveling

violet nymph
#

Cyclone still likely level 28

frigid raptor
#

@violet nymph agreed

#

a new leveling skill would be very welcomed tho..

sinful hazel
#

You cant really use flicker till 60 or 70

#

And cyclone interacts well with zerker

frigid raptor
#

yeah until you can generate frenzy charges

sinful hazel
#

Raider could probably go super early flicker but beyond that

frigid raptor
#

not worth tho

sand harbor
#

Patch note is Day -1 ?

silver kettle
#

@sand harbor patch notes will be in about 36-40h from now

sand harbor
#

Ty sir

north dragon
#

hmm

#

skill effects on sale

frigid raptor
#

when is PoB updated usually after a new league? couple of days difference or more?

sinful hazel
#

day or 2 after patch notes uusaly iirc

frigid raptor
#

oh so even before the launch?

sinful hazel
#

depends really

#

sometimes ggg doesnt give PoB the data till the torrent

solid nova
#

honestly, they should NDA OpenARL and give him the notes and changes early

#

that way he can have PoB ready for release with the official notes

gray fiber
#

pretty sure openarl got a job working on PoE

#

he should already have that type of info

solid nova
#

I was not aware, well then

livid lake
#

he does but he also works now so he has less time

minor jungle
#

I mean it is also open source.

#

...right?

#

maybe I'll meme it up and code in the current slayer only just so I can make the tree faster.

languid path
#

sure, but it's not exactly legos

north dragon
#

i realised

#

doing uberelder on berzerke feels aids to start

#

0 charges

odd steeple
#

Yes, Rage sucks for bosses

#

I think it's not that bad for uber elder in particular though cause the fight is so long. Give it like 20-25 seconds to build up and then you'll have it for the rest of the fight.

rapid solar
#

You don't even need that much buildup

#

one chain strike = 6 Rage

odd steeple
#

I wonder if other classes are gonna feel obligated to use Chain Strike, even at 1/3 the effectiveness of rage on a Rite of Ruin zerker.

#

Is it 6 rage or 5 rage + 1 for hit?

rapid solar
#

5 + 1

#

At least that's what it looked like

odd steeple
#

That's based on analyzing the video

#

I assume

#

Was it clear how long the CD on Chain Strike is?

#

Like imagine you just use Chain Strike on a Slayer or something

#

and get 5% damage and 2% attack speed every time you use it up to 10?

#

That sounds really strong

#

I wonder if Chain Strike will read something like "If you have Rage, gain 5 Rage" or something

rapid solar
#

actually in the trailer I don't really see chain strike generating anything

#

but I think Jonathan talked about it

#

Ah it was Ziggy

#

and it's very obvious in his video

north dragon
#

talking about flicker, whats a good gem setup

odd steeple
#

Soooo who's going golemancer next league now that they have like 600% increased spell damage and 600% increased crit?

quiet geyser
#

I thaught golems do attacks

odd steeple
#

flame golems are spells

quiet geyser

Hm maybe

fallen tulip
#

wait whats giving them 600% increased spell damage?

odd steeple
#

the new Rathpith Globe

quiet geyser
#

The op shield

#

2 Screens?

#

Minions will be pretty much broken this patch

odd steeple
#

*spellcasting minions

fallen tulip
#

yea depends on how easy it is to get your hands on rathpith

odd steeple
#

Do like solar guards have base crit?

#

because Flame Golems do not

quiet geyser
#

Even that the support gem will reach insane values

odd steeple
#

It doesn't seem to -- on Flame Golems I only get like 5% more damage for it

#

maybe something in my config is wrong?

quiet geyser
#

Some Minions have like 200k hp
1.9*2000

odd steeple
#

maybe zero crit multi or something?

rapid solar
#

Doubt that's going to make it through QA

quiet geyser
#

No

#

wrong math sorry

fallen tulip
#

i dont understand how the shield would scale golems though

odd steeple
#

I mean Raiz asked about it in Baeclast

quiet geyser
#

They have like 38% Crit Chance

fallen tulip
#

Golems are Minions & Spells together?

odd steeple
#

and Jonathan was like "Yeah, go for it"

#

@fallen tulip Necromantic Aegis makes it work for golems

quiet geyser
#

Its chris favorite acendancy "so it might slip"

#

keystone*

odd steeple
#

I haven't seen the video Karv made, did he discuss possible spectres to use?

low kindle
#

Vaal advocates, probably

odd steeple
#

I could see starting Necro and if the shield is like 50ex then so be it I'm just doing spectres and that's not bad

quiet geyser
#

IDK he takes way to long to talk and repets himself 24/7 dont watch him :/

wet plaza
#

4% health loss per use is steep

odd steeple
#

That's why Golems are nice, you can get a few Primordial Harmony jewels and it's no biggie

low kindle
#

Minion regen and leech nodes

rapid solar
#

Golems have like 10% reg

quiet geyser
#

Specteres can leech trough ele reflect maps

#

dont think this shield hurts them

low kindle
#

Can't run second clayshaper with globe 😔

odd steeple
#

Yeah, it's worth though

#

Primordial Eminence becomes soooo goood

low kindle
#

Real question though, does elementalist need chain?

#

Primordial chain

#

I guess not

wet plaza
#

absolutely

#

golems are way too slow without it

odd steeple
#

I mean people play Herald of Agony

#

Just convoke over and over

wet plaza
#

and its better than golems without the amu

low kindle
#

Chain is a big nerf to globe btw

wet plaza
#

there is just no reason not to take it

low kindle
#

Less damage and less damage

odd steeple
#

chain like double-dips on badness, yeah

wet plaza
#

more golems, more speed

odd steeple
#

Like it's probably good for mapping anyways

low kindle
#

With ele you go from 6 golems to 9 with chain

wet plaza
#

yeah its same dmg but up to 100% more ms

low kindle
#

And get immediately thrown back by damage penalty

wet plaza
#

which equates to a lot dps due to less clunkyness

low kindle
#

Also less life which is a globe nerf

odd steeple
#

50% more golems, 50% more speed, 40% less damage 40% less damage

wet plaza
#

+golems and less dmg is basically making it equal to before

#

life doesnt matter golems never die

#

speed is worth it alone

rapid solar
#

You just go Elementalist, don't you?

low kindle
#

Life matters now

odd steeple
#

life DOES matter because life is damage on Globe

low kindle
#

With globe

rapid solar
#

then it's 5 -> 8 Golems

low kindle
#

More like 6-9

rapid solar
#

1 Base + 2 Ele + 1 Anima + 1 Clayshaper

#

what am I missing?

wet plaza
#

did you ever run golems with and without the amu

#

the question doesnt even come up if you do imo

#

prim chain is so much qol goodness

#

you dont want to give that up

odd steeple
#

Anima is +2

low kindle
#

Anima stone gives 2

rapid solar
#

Ah yea

#

the more golems you have the worse chain gets though

#

lol

wet plaza
#

you always want the speed

low kindle
#

I'm not saying chain was bad until this time, but with globe it's probably not worth it for a bosskilling build

wet plaza
#

so nope

#

you dont need globe for a bosskiller

#

golems fuck shit up regardless

odd steeple
#

Why not take it though?

#

To shorten uber elder fight by like 30% or something

wet plaza
#

cos you'd have to run flame golems which feel way worse than ice ones

odd steeple
#

I mean I've never run either so I don't know, but flame seems fine for bosses

wet plaza
#

if you can stomach their ai sure

rapid solar
#

I've never had problems with flame golem ai with might

low kindle
#

Inb4 jewels are limited to 1 templarLul

wet plaza
#

did you try ice golems

rapid solar
#

But Globe with Golems will be a lot of damage... that's for sure

wet plaza
#

they feel way better

rapid solar
#

Don't they have a lot less aoe?

wet plaza
#

no standing around, more activity

#

not an issue, theyre not stationary like flame ones

rapid solar
#

Flame Golems with gmp cleared off screen for me

fallen tulip
#

compared to uhh Victario's Charity

#

i made a ice golemancer in synthesis and gotta say the charges stack up quite fast on 9 golems

marsh wagon
#

so with 9 golems u get 270% bonus dmg?

fallen tulip
#

more

marsh wagon
#

the ascendancy thing

#

per goolem

fallen tulip
#

thats 180% from ascendancy

#

but then there are the jewels

marsh wagon
#

180% from that alone...

#

and u can spiritual aid to take minion dmg

quiet geyser
#

Uff they also said, they rework enemys and there dmg in the early levels right?

fallen tulip
#

i have 6 Primordial harmonies

quiet geyser
#

Mabye new spectres?

#

Woth using?

fallen tulip
#

thats 120% inc. dmg

#

maybe steph

#

they did say they'd make those changes so theyre slower but deadlier

odd steeple
#

They also said those are mainly for the first 4 acts

#

I think the main spectre people use from the first 4 acts is the gorilla chieftain?

#

And not for his attacks

fallen tulip
#

but what I think we can expect, is for them to revamp more enemies up until 4.0

odd steeple
#

Yeah

quiet geyser
#

Mabye the Glacil Cascade dude is now woth it 🤔 xD

odd steeple
#

Which one?

quiet geyser
#

XD medicin quest one ^^

fallen tulip
#

oh the first boss

odd steeple
#

I don't think you can raise uniques

quiet geyser
#

ehhh...

#

Nvm then

marsh wagon
#

if all the bonuses are on unique enemies

#

spectre won't get anything new

odd steeple
#

They aren't, they said like rhoas and stuff too

#

Maybe the rolling stone things from act 2 will be different?

#

Though those already had nicely telegraphed attacks

fallen tulip
odd steeple
#

The thing is nothing in Acts 1-4 does big aoe, because it's early game

#

So for damage dealing spectres you gotta wait

fallen tulip
#

have you guys seen that before?

quiet geyser
#

yea

#

It is the video send to the journalists

fallen tulip
#

im just seeing it now for the first time

quiet geyser
#

Its also the video wich tark looped in bayclast

#

And parts of that are also in the actual trailer for legion

fallen tulip
#

oh then i've probably seen some of the material

odd steeple
#

The Kaom fight looks so good

fallen tulip
#

i want Infernal blow & Vigilant strike to be good in 3.7

quiet geyser
#

Then you need some endurance charge generation

fallen tulip
#

how come

#

oh yea vigilant strike

odd steeple
#

I mean has Vigilant Strike ever been worth using for damage dealing purposes?

fallen tulip
#

no

odd steeple
#

Maybe with Chieftain now it could be?

fallen tulip
#

but im hoping the new hitbox changes for melee will make many skills worth using

odd steeple
#

It's a lot of base damage and free cannot-be-evaded

#

You could do some kind of stun setup with it too I guess

fallen tulip
#

Chieftain is 35% chance to gain on using a fireskill

odd steeple
#

ohhhh, right, not a fireskill

#

nvm

fallen tulip
#

but there's that 2h mace unique with lv20 or 18 End. charge on melee stun

odd steeple
#

Tidebreaker

fallen tulip
#

yup

odd steeple
#

Yeah, could be quite good

#

Except when you run into Unwavering enemies

fallen tulip
#

then you better have another skill to use

#

or just wish you 1hit them

odd steeple
#

If you do it as Jugg or something you can just slow down and hit only a few times a sec tops

blissful hamlet
#

Does blocking count as being hit?

#

And if so, things like kintsugis 20% less Damage taken if you have not been Hit Recently, do not work with block?

odd steeple
#

Yes, blocking counts as being hit. Kintsugi+Block is not a good combo, as you surmise.

wintry lantern
#

does %attack damage get applied to minions?

odd steeple
#

If the stat just says "x% increased Attack Damage" then no

wintry lantern
#

Even minions that come from attack skills (dom blow)?

odd steeple
#

Depends on how the minion scales. Most minions scale with minion damage (including Dom Blow, one of the reasons dom blow is awkward to build)

#

Vaal Double Strike is a double of you though and scales with your attack damage

wintry lantern
#

OK, thanks. I was hoping the change from melee damage to attack damage in Champion would be a benefit for DB. So Guardian is still best ascendancy for DB?

odd steeple
#

Champion doesn't sound bad since so much of its damage is just generic debuffs on enemies. But that particular change won't help DB

wintry lantern
#

Thanks!

quaint sentinel
#

Man why are the skill gem reveals always last

#

It's so agonizing.

odd steeple
#

I think they just want maximum time to finish balancing them

wintry lantern
wild arch
#

Alright so if you have 8% base crit how much chance would be the most optimal for a crit build?

odd steeple
#

100%

#

(but it's complicated to get there because of diamond flask diminishing returns and stuff)

wild arch
solid nova
#

I mean, you need to get to around 50% crit before diamond flask, assuming you have perfect hitchance?

odd steeple
#

More is better

solid nova
#

from 8 to 50 is an increase of 625%

sinful hazel
#

80% is what ive found is pretty good

odd steeple
#

like going from 50% to 80% unflasked means 75% -> 96%

solid nova
#

you'd defo want more base crit, either from hatred or pure talent

#

or some other source I don't know about

sinful hazel
#

elder/shaper gives base crit

#

crit supports

odd steeple
#

Assassin's Mark curse is 2.5%

wild arch
#

Also how much do you think varunastra is gonna cost? vanity

odd steeple
#

If only it weren't so damn slow

solid nova
#

^

sinful hazel
#

depends on how busted the supports are

odd steeple
#

inb4 59% each

sinful hazel
#

if its more than a normal support like 80% more it will be busted as fuk. if its the usual 59% then it prolly wont be too much different

odd steeple
#

59% isn't normal

#

39% is normal, 49% is good, 59% requires drastic measures like disabling all non-physical damage

wild arch
#

I've been wanting to do a glacial hammer build for a long ass time now, and I figured slayer's 8% base crit would be really strong with swords

odd steeple
#

If I had to guess, I'd guress they are like 39% + some utility effect that goes with the weapon

solid nova
#

so, if you're going for 80 unflasked, you're looking at needing a minimum 530% global with 15% base

#

more global with less base, at least if my math is right

#

but I could be completely off

odd steeple
#

that sounds wrong

#

remember it's "increased" so you get free 100% base

solid nova
#

yeah, not suprised

wild arch
#

There's another thing that has been bothering me for a while

#

See all those chaos damage with attack skills nodes

#

Do they increase the damage of poison from attack skills?

odd steeple
#

Yes

solid nova
#

so more like 430%, yeah

odd steeple
#

They're usually on bleeding nodes

solid nova
#

whoops, me silly

odd steeple
#

Yep, I get 79.5% crit chance with 15% flat and 430% increased

#

sounds right

wintry lantern
#

OK, so for a DB/HoP champ, master of metal or first to strike, last to fall? and which banner?

wild arch
#

What about the generic attack damage mini nodes on new slayer and champion?

solid nova
#

assuming 3 power charges, you only need to find 310, which is very doable

odd steeple
#

@wintry lantern both of those nodes don't sound amazing? Master of Metal definitely better though

#

because Adrenaline from First to Strike only affects yourself

#

and Adrenaline is great so War Banner makes sense

wintry lantern
#

Would Unstopable hero be better, assuming that Fortify is good enough to use in the DB links?

odd steeple
#

I think it might be better even without Fortify in main links

solid nova
#

stun immune is pretty dope, yeah

odd steeple
#

It's a generic defensive buff

#

Master of Metal has this weird thing, where the Impale is good, but then your minions hit the enemy a bunch of times rapidly so you can't stack impales

#

which means you don't get the flat phys bonus more than once or twice

wintry lantern
#

which is why I was considering dread banner to give them impale too

odd steeple
#

how much Impale chance can you get on the minions if you invest in it?

wintry lantern
#

20% from dread banner, I don't know of anything else that does it

odd steeple
#

yeah, so like 1/5 hits will apply it

#

and it lasts for 5 hits

#

so on average +1 impale per enemy

#

which is like 6-12 flat phys and 10% more phys

wintry lantern
#

slightly higher for +quality and +gem level

fallen tulip
#

but the impale chance doesn't get higher? or does it

odd steeple
#

it's like 30% when placed at max stages, yeah?

#

+30% impale effect

#

it could work out to better than Adrenaline yeah, if you add it all up

wintry lantern
#

especially without the FtsLtf adrenaline buffs

odd steeple
#

those adrenaline buffs are a pain to manage though

solid nova
#

yeah, was about to say that gaining adren is gonna be a pain

wintry lantern
#

dropping war banner is guaranteed adrenaline on command

odd steeple
#

yeah, for your allies too

solid nova
#

how does dropping war banner give adren?

wintry lantern
#

placing war banner gives 1/20 sec adrenaline per stack

odd steeple
#

oh wait, I'm wrong, it's only for you

#

(The adrenaline part)

#

oh and War Banner only gains stacks when YOU kill an enemyu

solid nova
#

at max stages, that only adds up to just over 2s of adren

#

not really that much to rely on

odd steeple
#

The more I look at it the more it looks like War Banner is better

#

*Dread Banner

sinful hazel
#

ah right

wintry lantern
#

no, but it's enough for the 25% heal and clear debufs

solid nova
#

I mean, if you want the heal, yeah. If you want the buff, I'd say you're better off using RF to drop your health low, and when the trait procs it will cleanse rf

wintry lantern
#

Yeah, I'm def leaning toward dread banner

odd steeple
#

I think after this discussion, I would go Worthy Foe + Master of Metal + Unstoppable Hero, with Dread Banner and no adrenaline

wintry lantern
#

I was thinking Worthy Foe, Inspirational, Unstopable

odd steeple
#

That's OK too, what auras are you planning on?

wintry lantern
#

HoP and Dread banner

#

maybe Hatred if I can fit it

odd steeple
#

I mean that's only 35% reservation even without Inspirational

#

Hatred + Impale is kind of a non-bo? Like they don't synergize but if they're both strong then certainly you can use them

wintry lantern
#

my bad, not hatred

#

Ash

sinful hazel
#

why anger? still doesnt trigger on impale. hatred would at least accept your phys

odd steeple
#

Ash only buffs you

#

Anger is flat ele

#

I'd bet Hatred really is best, or just some generic defensive thing, or blasphemy curse

wintry lantern
#

Blasphemy/vuln or blasphemy/punishment?

odd steeple
#

Some of Dom Blow's sentinels are ranged right?

#

oh no they're all melee

solid nova
#

shame you can't run generosity heralds

odd steeple
#

I'd do Vuln I think? Maim sounds really nice because the sentinels aren't targetable, right?

#

So monsters will be running towards you and if they're slowed the sentinels will get in more attacks

wintry lantern
#

reduced reserved is so hard to path to from duelist

odd steeple
#

There's one cluster nearby, that's the only easy one

#

The one in the top left is near the excellent minion damage cluster that gives you more damage too

#

So if you want reduced reserved you have two obvious places to get it

#

(All subject to change of course with new skill tree coming soon)

wintry lantern
#

and one of them is behind blood magic

odd steeple
#

Yeah that's just a totally different ball of wax, only good on LowLife characters

wintry lantern
#

Guess that pushes me to 1h/shield instead of 2h for 2 6links. Makes HoP reserve too much

solid nova
#

absolutely wild idea, you could go Coming Calamity

odd steeple
#

Oh that's right, you're actually scaling the HoP minions

solid nova
#

force HoP to only res 45%

odd steeple
#

So my claims about only 35% reservation are not true

#

An interesting idea: if you do blasphemy vuln, then your HoP minions can apply bleed

#

and you can link Bloodlust to Dom Blow

wintry lantern
#

how much does coming calamity usually go for?

odd steeple
#

Pretty cheap

#

It has meh defenses and is pretty common

solid nova
#

^^ I play bomber every league, 6l tCC is around 3.5ex

#

or less

odd steeple
#

It's a 1c unique within a few days

wintry lantern
#

If I put HoP in a +minion level helm with brutality, faster attacks, and cull that would bring the reservation down to managable levels even without reduced res

#

instead of trying to 6l it

odd steeple
#

Yeah, that sounds better, chest armors without defenses are rough

wintry lantern
#

The Baron is usually pretty cheap

fallen tulip
#

well we'll see

#

how meta the Corpse zombies become

odd steeple
#

There's new interactions with both life-based zombies and rathpith globe and Baron is a lot of HP to minions

#

And Baron is pretty rare (even if off-meta these days)

#

but a rare +2 helm is easy to get

wintry lantern
#

maybe Geofri's Legacy

fallen tulip
#

chances are Zombies also had their melee attacks adjusted the same way melee hitboxes work for melee skills

solid nova
#

ratpith globe is gonna be super expensive lul

odd steeple
#

oh, also, The Coming Calamity is an int chest armor

#

and Dom Blow wants like at least 5 red sockets

#

HoP-Brutality-Maim-Culling Strike is only 42%

solid nova
#

as much as I want to play my typical frost blades and bomber characters

#

spectres is gonna be nutty

odd steeple
#

Yeah for sure

#

I'm leaning pretty heavily towards spectres

#

and seeing if Rathpith is attainable or not

wintry lantern
#

So if I were to stick with a 2h for Chober Chaber, what could I add in the chest?

#

Holy Relic?

odd steeple
#

Would you put HoP there?

#

for the 6L

wintry lantern
#

That reserves too much mana with blasph/vuln

summer magnet
#

no need to discuss all this before patch notes :3

#

you might end up being really sad due to changes :3

odd steeple
#

HoP-Maim-Brutality-Culling Strike-Minion Damage is a nice 5L

#

for 47% reservation

wintry lantern
#

don't need maim with vuln

odd steeple
#

it's actually less damage than just a +2

#

the maim gem gives increased phys taken to your Dom Blow if you link it to HoP

#

and it's only 115% multiplier

livid apex
#

I'd think you would skip the cull

#

jam it in a +gems hat

#

HoP scales super hard with gem level

odd steeple
#

Yeah, I'm with that

wintry lantern
#

maim over melee phys?

odd steeple
#

Maim on one, Melee Phys on the other

#

the "enemies take 14% increased physical damage" is global

wintry lantern
#

So with Geofri's Legacy I can have 2 holy relics, maybe put maim and cull linked to that

odd steeple
#

relics don't attack

#

I guess the explosion could sometimes cull?

#

Maim isn't a bad support, it's 30% more phys damage locally and 14% increased phys taken globally for 115% reservation

#

getting Cull off of HoP sounds nice, but Maim just makes a ton of sense

#

just get a +3 minion gems rare hat

#

it's not that expensive, and +2 is fine for a bit until then

wintry lantern
#

I'll calc both out when PoB gets updated

odd steeple
#

I'm surprised all the Dom Blow people on poe.ninja are guardians

#

except on jugg

#

maybe not having that sentinal aoe slam is just really important

wintry lantern
#

and the 40% HoP effect

odd steeple
#

That doesn't change much, right? only affects you

#

It's "HoP buff effect" not "HoP effect"

#

i.e. the buff it gives you is stronger not the minions

wintry lantern
#

I think it also applies to the minion life

#

and maybe the minion damage

#

NM, i'm wrong

#

I'd say it's a combination of aoe slam and charge generation/sharing

#

no, I'm wrong again, that's party members, not allies

#

probably has most to do with the ease of pathing to spiritual aid and spiritual command

odd steeple
#

Pretty sure the charge sharing does work

#

100% accuracy is big too

#

Worse than champion's hits cannot be evaded on single target, but better in maps

#

Oh maybe it doesn't but people use Victario's Charity?

peak mesa
#

Hey did we get a definitive answer as to if Contagion will spread for the league mechanic?

odd steeple
#

No, they said "We'll check" and afaik they never got back to us on it

tough roost
#

It probably will, since it's an on-kill effect that doesn't require a corpse

wintry lantern
#

I think the biggest monkey wrench to my build concept at this point will be the weapon-specific support gems they keep mentioning

odd steeple
#

I think you just won't be able to use them?

#

Because minions won't be using the weapons

wintry lantern
#

well, if the mace one gives reliable stun on bosses, then I won't need cull anywhere thanks to Skull Cracking

odd steeple
#

I've got a level 82 champion in standard right now with all his passives reset, I could try building your character 😛

wintry lantern
#

Want me to send you the POB?

odd steeple
#

Sure, though I think I can figure out most of the key stuff

#

Of how I would build it at least

odd steeple
#

Some thoughts: I would definitely drop the mace wheel, it only affects you

#

and I would definitely go get the minion damage/skill effect duration area near scion

wintry lantern
#

I could probably drop most of the weapon wheels, though I like the idea of cull on stun

odd steeple
#

the tricky thing is that the things you most want to cull are hardest to stun

wintry lantern
#

Right, that's why I'm wondering what the weapon specific support for maces will be

#

the gravepact wheel also puts me real close to the juicy life wheel

odd steeple
#

Yep

#

And Skill Effect Duration is super good on Dominating Blow

wintry lantern
#

armor/evasion is probably better than armor/ES for non-uniques, right?

odd steeple
#

Yeah, ES without recharge mechanisms like leech or regen is pretty meh on melee characters

#

You get +2000 flat armor from Champion if you take Master of Metal

#

which, if Armor is good (because of Molten Shell) might actually be really good

wintry lantern
#

I was thinking that Inspirational would be better than Master of Metal for the move speed and the inc aura effect.

odd steeple
#

well you aren't using any auras

wintry lantern
#

True, just the banner

odd steeple
#

if you were using Smite and Hatred instead of the brutality thing then it would be better

wintry lantern
#

so that's 40% impale for me and 20% for minons, with 13 minions that attack, so yeah

idle hull
#

Does anyone know how flicker will work with legion? Like will it auto target the frozen enemies?

wintry lantern
#

they are enemies, so probably

tough roost
#

Yup, they're regular enemies for the purposes of targeting

#

And become untargetable when they 'die'

wintry lantern
#

I just hope that my minions won't just sit there and stare at them

#

OK, I've got to get in the shower. If you actually try out this build Clue let me know how it goes

tough roost
#

Minions will also attack them until they 'die'

wintry lantern
#

Minion AI against enemies not attacking them or you can be iffy

#

Have GGG said anything about whether minions will be capable of animation canceling to move to a new target if their target dies?

odd steeple
#

@wintry lantern well, I put together the character and ran it through blood aqueducts

#

super scuffed cause I only had level 1 dominating blow

wide totem
#

Challenge leagues are a great opportunity for a short period without hitting anything.

#

best start

sage arch
#

When you reach 24 challenges, you will receive a full rework in future. Excited about that

quaint sentinel
#

All melee skills now deal damage.

#

all i ever wanted

wintry lantern
#

@odd steeple Hmmm, I like the way you pathed that through the scion area instead of the marauder and templar areas

#

only one ring?

odd steeple
#

Don't read into my gear much, it's just what I had lying around my stash

#

Like I think the best weapon is The Scourge

#

But I didn't have one

#

Possibly even dual wielding them

#

the jewelry and belt is just stuff with enough dex and str to equip gems and gear

wintry lantern
#

Yeah, having The Scourge would mean not having to path out to Spiritual Command, but I'm not sure that it would be better than Chaber Cairn

odd steeple
#

I was planning on doing both actually, path out there and then use The Scourge anyways, for 15% minion attack speed and 70% minion damage per

In that case, the +3 level Dom Blow and +1-2 to most supports would probably be better wouldn't it?

clear gust
#

they should do vaal flicker strike - 2 clones that do flicker strike lel

odd steeple
#

Yeah, possibly. Just wanted high attack speed and better defenses and was valuing it over damage.

clear gust
#

@odd steeple due to changes to champion ill drop poison completely

#

drop fortify node, and go for dread banner

#

taking up inspiration

#

or whatever was that called

odd steeple
#

Poison?

clear gust
#

remember talkig 2 days ago - champion full phys, full armor no crit?

#

with poison and impale

#

god

odd steeple
#

oooh yeah

clear gust
#

bleeding

#

FUUU

odd steeple
#

Hehe

clear gust
#

im dumb

#

since theres no additional damage to ailments with attack skills in the champion ascendancy

odd steeple
#

I think it still scales though

#

That's why they made the change actually

#

Oh nope, you're right

#

"Attack Damage" does not

#

Maybe they'll change it?

#

That would certainly clean up a bunch of passive nodes around the duelist area

#

And we know they're looking at those

clear gust
#

"15% increased effect of non-curse auras from your skills", banner skills reserve no mana, life regen, 12 % increased movement speed

#

40% stages of placed banner

#

spamming dread banner for fortify

odd steeple
#

It's not enough to keep up fortify

#

0.05 s per stage

clear gust
#

its ok when clearing

#

5 s on full after 60 kills

#

iirc banners had 100 stages

odd steeple
#

Dread Banner is on Impale not on kill

clear gust
#

or 50?

odd steeple
#

and it's 50

#

so 2.5s max, and you need to Impale 5 enemies a second for 10 seconds

clear gust
#

still, 20% champion impale + 20% dread banner

#

0.09 attack time

odd steeple
#

or I guess for 6 seconds since you get 40% back

#

there's a hard limit of 5/second on Dread Banner

clear gust
#

hmm

odd steeple
#

I mean just leap slam into things

clear gust
#

yeah

odd steeple
#

It's a guaranteed stun and 5s of Fortify

clear gust
#

reave and whirling blades

#

delving would be weird

#

not having the buff constantly then

#

1 sec downtime

#

ugh even more button mashing

odd steeple
#

I mean Whirling into things works too, just a bit clunkier to hit with it

violet nymph
#

Man zerker with leap slam is going to be fast af

clear gust
#

hmm i would want to see how my 40k+ armor will work with molten shell

odd steeple
#

I think you will be unkillable when it's up

clear gust
#

i havent even used immortal call on that build

odd steeple
#

0:40 for sneak preview of Zerker leap slam

#

Immortal Call, Molten Shell, and Steelskin are all gonna share cooldowns

#

so you only get one

clear gust
#

steelskin till i accumulate enough armor for molten shell to be better

#

is what i plan on

#

is the new passive tree available yet?

odd steeple
#

Leap Slam-Faster Attacks-Fortify-Endurance Charge on Melee Stun

#

no, not yet

clear gust
#

i'm a bit worried about it

wintry lantern
#

Balance manifesto tonight, Patch notes and tree tomorrow

clear gust
#

ah ok

odd steeple
#

The only thing I'd worry about for your build in particular is the Fortify/Armor cluster

clear gust
#

yea

odd steeple
#

Cause it was gone in the spoiled legion jewel thing (The incoming damage conversion one)

#

But we know fortify is getting buffs on the tree

#

And I assume they want Molten Shell/Armor interaction to be good, since they've talked about it so much

clear gust
#

i had crazy amount of armor with all the flasks/auras

#

iirc with everything up it wasa over 50k
