true, but poison hits are rare, its the poison dot itself that kills
armor to dots is weak, unless to stack it
gusty abyss
and if you stacked it, poison isnt an issue either xD
gusty abyss
if dots are deadly, you dont have enough leech ^^

how does one drop an item like this? as in rank 5
Rank 5 is from the circle of fortune item faction
Is basically means if you swap to merchant guild (player trading) you can’t use this item anymore
You do also need rank 5 in the faction to use it

Let's wait and see where it will sit in the tree. Might be forge guard only.
quiet hearth
unless that changed something, that is in the Jav node itself, I dont see that being on the passive tree
gusty abyss
2h + shield should be a passive on the tree
It has a yet unknown downside and location (point requirement)
quiet hearth
I dont know if you're refering to the 2h and shield, or the javalin skill node there
quiet hearth
dont mind me, Im known to be blind
gusty abyss
If it is forge guard only to have 2h + shield, then mana sustain will be a challange
But on the life stream it was mentioned it should also work with staff

If it's not FG only, I would be extremely surprised. Especially since it's called "forgemaster's"
turbid dome
if I can use it on void knight thats gonna be silly
alpine canopy
Yeh, thematically it just seems like an FG-only thing. Can't see it fitting on VK or pally. Granted, theme isn't the only thing that goes into those design decisions, but it would be nice for FG to have a "thing"
turbid dome
FG gets to use a twohander with a shield
vk grows two extra void arms and can swing two twohanders

Mike said otherwise, staff still has melee damage on it.
gusty abyss
Besides, historically staffs have been used to great effect as martial weapons.
turbid dome

But that’s only 1.4 times the normal arm amount on average

Mike said otherwise, staff still has melee damage on it.
Unless the node has changed since then
It does not allow 2h staff
Axe Mace Sword or Spear

I started last cycle online with it and it was fine, but I also played it offline. Yes, it's buggy and kinda clunky, but I enjoy it
quiet hearth
One day they will fix desync enough to where I can rampage freely
austere coral
Biggest problem was elevation changes actually, randomly stopping the charge. Warping back wasn't an issue with well timed Volatile Reversal on low cd
quiet hearth
I hate VR on principle
austere coral
Desynch was an issue, but I noticed that it mostly happened when charge stopped by hitting something on long distance(1 screen or more). If you let go of button it usually worked fine
VR is weird, so fair, but it just resonated with me
waxen nymph
I hate VR on principle
I hate it being so strong for no reason
I can't wait to see what they do with it
alpine canopy
I love unspecced VR, or VR very similar to that. It starts to feel really bad when the optimal play for it is getting the damage taken debuffs or as a regular mana recover tool.
It's a really unique skill and I hope it doesn't lose that aspect in the rework
(or at the least, let us spec it back)

Way too much resist
placid pawn
Yeah I'm aware
waxen nymph
Above 75% is useless
placid pawn
It's just kinda funny as I'm leveling up through the beginning tiers of monolith
Dumb question though: I see that resistances, according to the tooltip, get 1% peeled for each level of area you're in?
So you'd need 175% resist in a level 100 area?
waxen nymph
It caps at 75
So you only need 75%
Monsters get 1% pen per lvl up to 75
Per resistance above 75 doesn't count toward that pen
placid pawn
I guess this confuses me then, especially coming from POE2 where each act gives you -10% resistances, so you need uh 135% resistances on your gear to meet the 75% cap threshold
waxen nymph
That's why your total res (or Uncapped Résistance) is shown under but in small
You effectively build to counter that penetration
The point is to have 75% Res, mobs have 75% Pen
That's just cancel each other
waxen nymph
I guess this confuses me then, especially coming from POE2 where each act gives ...
That's the difference you are not loosing res like in Poe.
In Poe the cap is also 75 but you start from —60
Here the cap is 75, your start from 0 but the mobs get penetration.
It makes it less punishing if you are not res capped
Usually 60% is good enough until 200-300c
placid pawn
Well I'm SSF so I can't just buy my gear min-maxxed like that, but it's good to note
saves on forging potential at the very least
god my gear is an insane hodgepodge of nonsense rn
turbid dome
Above 75% is useless
erm poison res is good to have a little bit overcapped
placid pawn
42%
Y-yeah, about that lmfao
I suppose that's where sealing affixes comes in
Put a few points of vitality into something, seal it
then go on crafting something else in that spot
turbid dome
nah cause each stack of poison reduces your poison res
turbid dome
I suppose that's where sealing affixes comes in
and exalted affixes
placid pawn
man why can't ggg make crafting this fun :(
There's so much to tool around with, and there's still a good layer of RNG to make it hard(Or even impossible) to get perfect gear
waxen nymph
Well I'm SSF so I can't just buy my gear min-maxxed like that, but it's good to ...
It's okay, it's a long process
I have never played mg too
placid pawn
my gear has been a cluster because of this thing though lmao
Dropped at uh, looks bottom right, level 6
and I've been using it ever since lmfao - just trying to get gear that fits attunement and strength without really focusing on anything else
really interesting sword though, since it, in function, scales infinitely(I recognize that both strength and attunement are going to have a hard upper limit, but the fact that it's comfortably helping me along in level 70 content as a level 6 drop is a testament to the power of stat scaling)
turbid dome
plus you can offhand it with gladitor
placid pawn
I'm using renegade's will rn as its pairing
this dropped for me awhile ago naturally
unfortunately the vengeance mods don't really mean anything to me as I'm using Rive and Healing Hands Turned Melee
but everything else has been spectacular

This is the 1 resist I basically ignore xD

I could just stand in the damaging areas during the rahyeh black sun fight which were usually WAY more dangerous, because 4 casts of HH per second is nuts

HH is fun
if you have a lot of attunement you can have it give ward

yeah I did that on a paladin but I don't think it's worth it on this character
feels like too big an investment for it, I'd rather just build more health
turbid dome
Ah no minions then?

max roll has a bunch you can use as a starting point
imo maxroll will never have the giga best build, but they explain their builds so well (and most can clear all content) that I gotta recommend them (at least for LE)
sinful widget
yeah i used the maxroll levelling guide for VK using rive+healing hands
up to 60 and about to switch to a warpath one to try it out
they seem great for campaign and early monos but always have to tinker with the filters after that 😛

its easier to hit 4k ward but way harder to go past that
so we don't have 20k+ ward builds walking around and face tanking everything

@alpine canopy Is Inspiration giving the same stats as the Time Bubble CDRS ?
Looks like it from the wording
alpine canopy
It should, it just says it grants increased CDRS
waxen nymph
I am still a bit confused, I feel like there is 2 different CDR stats
alpine canopy
Some things that say increased CDRS are actually "more" CDRS (tornado spec is the only one I can think of), and sometimes there are actual cooldown reductions which probably would snapshot on skill use
waxen nymph
Oh its the Tornado thing that get me confused
alpine canopy
but those actual cooldown reductions are really rare and only on skill specs afaik, so whether they snapshot or not doesn't matter yet
waxen nymph
I put the first Shield I had on to try with Shield Bash since it has such a big CD
Grim Constitution is funny
alpine canopy
That's some nice ward 😂
waxen nymph
Oh but the refund on stun mechanic screw me
So the CDRS from the Time Bubble start speeding things straight away
TIL
I thought it would not affect the current cd but work as snapshot
alpine canopy
I like to think of cooldown recovery speed like mana regen, it seems to work kinda the same way in that it's like ticking down at the cooldown and whatever your CDRS is at the time makes it tick down more or less
or up
turbid dome
I love watching my dorbs when I go through an arena echo

but more importantly vs bosses I keep them all up then abyssal echos and the boss explodes

Streamer teaser, new node for smite
Looks like the cast reduction is gone and reduced to 4 instead of 5 points?
alpine canopy
Hm yep, semi-nerf to procced smite, but buff for direct cast smite
gusty abyss
procced smite uses warpath and specs out of this node late game though
and having both is just really insane early game power, IMO
alpine canopy
Yeah, that's why it's only a semi-nerf, doesn't even reduce its bonus per point, so you get one point back even if you did use this fuly invested
not all procced smite builds use warpath ofc
gusty abyss
I would consider it a buff as it enables self cast smite, especially good for void
Assuming the crit multi per point spent stays ofcourse
placid pawn
not all procced smite builds use warpath ofc
I'm using Rive
I didn't really bother to check to see how I could make Warpath mana-neutral, or mana positive for that matter when I got my Palarus

Hahaha, I never take risks when doing prophecies; who knows, there might be some fantastic 3-4lp rolls in there that I need
You need to upgrade your filter; checking through all this mess takes quite a lot of time, especially later when the quantity increases several times
umbral nacelle
still fine tuning the build but i've never been able to max out all resistances like this before
ending up with 3000 ward on almost 1k health has me tanking everything
alpine canopy
Unless you're using null portent, you've actually gone way past the amount of resists you need
it's a really nice thing about pally, being able to cap resists so easily 😁
turbid dome
And the only res where overcapping it that much might do something isn’t overcapped that much
Reinvest those res affixes into some other defense
umbral nacelle
definitely. i just remember crafting for my life on my first character just to cap the base elemental res so i was impressed how much easier it is with paladin lol
obviously a very rough build as i'm still trying to level up and farm good gear. only half way through first mono rn 🫣

is there a way to scale single target dps with multistrike?
alpine canopy
is there a way to scale single target dps with multistrike?
Wait until 1.2
But until then, basically using it to proc smite and HH, and generally to scale it all together you run an electrify build or something like that
sinful widget
surprised that so few people talk about holy trail, it's so smooth
especially the spear version with pilum assault
waxen nymph
Its probably because it's an "old" or at least older build
sinful widget
a classic you could say 😄
it's nice that filters show you what's obtainable based on item type now
sly magnet

small coverage area and delay doing damage and needs VR to do boss damage, so it's not ranged anymore.

not familiar with that. which debuff?
oh i think i see it. its the time rift and harbringer of dust nodes
turbid dome
yeah
those are the reason why VR is on basically every sentinel (once you start pushing corruption)
more dmg 👍
make sure to look at the attack speed/cast speed node after using VR cause then that helps you apply more dot stacks (or just hit stuff in general)
tacit lion
just double checking. the only way to generate sigils of hope without directly casting is via the last wish node? (get sigil on kill)

theres a ring that auto casts it
tacit lion
ohhh, so there is....
turbid dome
tacit lion
though sigils only buffs cast speed not attack speed as well oops.
i guess theres a world where a build focusing around casting smite directly
tacit lion
i went with paladin but the passive tree doesnt really offer much in terms of damage. just a lot of defensive nodeswhich is still good
turbid dome
this triggers separately from echos
uneven gorge
Best qol ring ever imagined
turbid dome

oh lol wow
turbid dome
this + one reduced bonus dmg taken from crit affix covers you
it also has 550 armor
thats a lot of armor
tacit lion
no points in blinding light necessary then
ngl this is my first time not going ward stacking so kinda walking into this blind
turbid dome
just to say how crazy 550 armor on a helmet is, 2 non sentinel body armors go above 300 armor
ignoring uniques and affixes, just implicits

welcome on in, your gonna feel not having a huge max hit
you also have this beef cake of an armor to look forward too
tacit lion
i was originally gonna go with this. i guess its not necessary?
turbid dome
that was a lot better to grab before leonine was added
you can grab it if your gonna use a unique helm
and it will help before you get to level 85
also put 5 points into this
tacit lion
oh wow true
turbid dome
base sentinel tree
tacit lion
yeah, multipler reduced damage sounded too good to be true lol
turbid dome
weapons master (middle, first collum in forge guard) can be good
champion of the forge (forge guard) is great for a strength stacking 2hander build
for grabbing VR from VK, just slap points into abyssal endurance
tacit lion
cant say no to free res
turbid dome
void corruption can be tempting but if your not a VK I don't think you don't get enough value from it
what kind of a build were you thinking?
tacit lion
electrify with aurelis and palarus sword. devotion necklace to start. havn't really thought it through beyond that
turbid dome
gonna need something to mana dump with
tacit lion
the double swing in the multistrike tree dumps my mana, but i dunno if it helps with the dps at all
tacit lion
so the skills im levelling are
smite
hands
multistrike
VR
was gonna be holy aura for passive buff to attack speed?
turbid dome
holy aura is strong
uneven gorge

I've tried that build. The issue with it is that you're encouraged to have low mana, and that means you can't cast sigils during that time, and you can't use movement skills. So you're kinda forced into facetanking, which really sucks late game
turbid dome
dont forget you get this + the tree
tacit lion
why are you encouraged to have low mana? but i definitly see that issue yeah
turbid dome
read the devotion amulet
tacit lion
ahhh right forgot what that did lol. not yet at the level to use it
uneven gorge
.>
tacit lion
wait if im scaling electrify, does it even matter to use devotion?
or well, i geus the damage and pen help. but i dont really care abou t the first two lines no?
uneven gorge
Yeah i'd just use another amulet
I have a devotion with t7 mana and it just doesn't work well
tacit lion
i feel like if i get an lp2 devotion (not that i have one for now) its just free stats no?
uneven gorge
A 2lp other amulet is also free stats
If you end up with a good chunk of vitality, then apostate's sanctuary is great for tankiness
And more damage is always great
tacit lion
true
uneven gorge
I use it on my forgeguard and don't even have rebuke spec'd and it gives me a free 3k ward and lets me tank harbingers
turbid dome
If you end up with a good chunk of vitality, then apostate's sanctuary is great ...
just watch out for casting spells
tacit lion
just checking, you dont use void reversal as an actual movement ability. its just for void rift placement? im thinking of speccing in to smite movement ability
placid pawn
also put 5 points into this
After capping my armor in poe2 yesterday, all it did was make me appreciate how good the armor situation is in LE
turbid dome

Not only do you not need a gross amount of armor to reach the cap, it applies to elemental damage too
Sure, at a 30% reduction compared to physical, but that's still amazing.
And yeah, GGG going with the Diablo 2 stance of "Big hits ignore armor" is f-redacted stupid
uneven gorge
just watch out for casting spells

I should probably tool around with my paladin more, but I got suckered into trying bow-rogue after reaching level 100 monos on pally
turbid dome
you should its a crap ton of more dmg
turbid dome
and thats also why its getting reworked
placid pawn
Probably not super efficient
can you turn healing hands into lightning damage instead of fire
seems easier to just buff one damage type instead of two
uneven gorge
Nope, only proc electrify
turbid dome
you can make it a giant orbital laser beam

Hell yeah to Engi
yeah I figured the embed would fail, but we love giant explosions

placid pawn
I mean its close enough, cmon now.
no need to split hairs over "big giant pillar that deletes problems"

If you ignore the fact it doesn't scale with lightning, then yeah, I guess you could say it's a form of lightning 👍

so what are the hot new paladin builds nowadays? should be dipping my toes into empowered monos shortly
things that don't require too many hard to find uniques or slamming
quiet hearth
Tri Dot Sent with the Ruby Fang set if you want the most "why is this working" build you can find right now
I still need to try the VK version of that, I can only imagine how good the echoes are with it
turbid dome
quiet hearth
Now if we could only get a way to give Rive the fire tag we'd really be cooking with gas.
turbid dome
I mean if rive is getting a full void conversion, I can see it getting a fire conversion
quiet hearth
I would LOVE that, you could stack dots to the moon
turbid dome
I’m still surprised that a set works so well
placid pawn
Probably my favorite part of Diablo 3
pretty much everyone has at least a piece of set gear good for leveling
Now. . . keeping it through the endgame(GR150)? Probably not
quiet hearth
It's because of the huge amount of pen, and also it abuses the fact HH has the fire tag and can be converted to melee
quiet hearth
the wpn is also an axe which has really good support, and lightning meatball?
turbid dome
I wana love the forgotten knight set for void dot
placid pawn
I'm still struggling to find a replacement for my hammer on paladin lmao
quiet hearth
void dot in general needs love
turbid dome
the wpn is also an axe which has really good support, and lightning meatball?
Convert meteor to lightning staff + lightning dmg to spells per int hat
I forget the name
placid pawn
It's not perfect by any means, and I don't even use vengeance
quiet hearth
oh that one
turbid dome
Let me uncap time rot stacks
placid pawn
but good lord is that a solid dps buff
turbid dome
Yea
quiet hearth
yeah I dont know why it's capped, would make sense if it was capped because it explodes when you reach the cap or something
turbid dome
I mean time rot, 12 hours
Theme wise it’s great
Just slap a node at the end of VK that uncaps time rot stacks but removes the easier to stun per stack part of it
*stun duration
quiet hearth
I mean we're getting a sent rework soon, so we'll see what they do
quiet hearth

I look forward to my Giant's Blood build
That said, I wonder how two-hand weapons match up against 2x 1h weapons in the dps department. Far as I can figure, 2x 1h is better for dps, but 1handing a 2H weapon+Shield should give way more survivability?
uneven gorge
A 2h with bulwark is the only combo I can think of that'd be better for damage
turbid dome

there is the unknown downside to it
placid pawn
FWIW, I actually appreciate 2x 1H weapons having more DPS than any given 2hander.
turbid dome
well yeah they swing faster
thats also why all the duel wield stuff comes with more dmg taken
alpine canopy
well yeah they swing faster
They also give more raw stats combined than a 2h
alpine canopy
A 2h with bulwark is the only combo I can think of that'd be better for damage
For bleed, 2h + flayer's pride could be better offensively than DW, depending on the unknown downside

is Vengeance good for anything? Is it a usable single target skill?
turbid dome
eh?
its ok, but rive (currently) does its job better
the entire iron blades section is not great
but it should be a lot better overall next cycle with the sentinel spa day
past nest
i figured, iron blades seem like the only way try to do something with it, but then you've spent so many points into no actual damage
unless you only do single target only i guess idk
turbid dome
its gonna be a lot easier to proc if you build for it next cycle
turbid dome
i figured, iron blades seem like the only way try to do something with it, but t...
its not even the low damage, its currently annoying to proc a lot
past nest
gotcha
trying to do a HC run, was curious if its decent
it has some defensive mechanics
what about for bossing?
turbid dome
swinging the thing is true melee
rive does more damage, has better aoe/range and still procs time and faith
turbid dome
node in the base sentinel tree, upon using smite/rive/vengence/multi strike you get 10 mana and heal 10% of your missing health
past nest
ahh
turbid dome
its very strong
past nest
gotcha
turbid dome
then make rive auto cast healing hands
get a little leech
recovery is through the roof
the other big thing in rive (if your using a 2hander) is the "foe cleaver" node
- weapon specialist
past nest
paladin seems a pretty safe bet
turbid dome
paladin is solid
past nest
but how's forge guard nowadays
turbid dome
solid as well
past nest
i was thinking going sword and board
turbid dome
but the passive tree is fairly divided between minions/shield/throwing/twohanders
past nest
but there's so many good 2H points and nodes
turbid dome
yea
you can reach the big 2hander node (crit multi based on strength) without going forge guard
but tbh any sentinel should drop 5 points into weapon master if it fits their build
past nest
is the survivability from going 1h and shield that much better than going 2h
is it worth going for it
i kinda just wanna live and hopefully have decent (ssf) damage
turbid dome
getting to max block chance with good block effectiveness will make you a lot tankier
just check which skills you want to use as some have very restrictive weapon requirements
ie: void cleave (which can be turned into fire) is like the best movement skill, but it can only be used with a twohanded sword or a twohanded axe
using a shield does also open up all the shield skills
past nest
ive played a good amount of LE, but somehow i've never done any shield build so im kinda completely clueless around it
are the shield skills like ring of shields any good
they just seem so weird looking from the outside in
turbid dome
ive played a good amount of LE, but somehow i've never done any shield build so...
So based on your block effectiveness, when you block (can be 100%) you get damage reduction
So if we have 50% Dr from armor and 50% Dr from blocking a 100 dmg hit goes 100 -> 50 -> 25
I think?
That’s the rough idea
Just also understand blocking only stops hits
Parry chance is the one that fully ignores a hit
past nest
ty, cheers
turbid dome
Another shield tip: the endgame choice is between the iron glass shield and the dawn shield,
I recommend the iron glass shield because it comes with more block chance, so it’s way easier to cap block
Dawn shield gets more block effectiveness but capping block is significantly more important
So you have more consistent damage reduction rather than a chance you have 0 and get exploded
past nest
gotcha
sly magnet
i was thinking going sword and board
forge guard shield bash build is nice for HC. it's a little slow, but very durable.
turbid dome
Very solid build
Just expect mana issues until you get going with it
Plus that build duel wields shields
sly magnet
you can play without horns of uhkeiros for a while, but eventually you'll need it.
turbid dome
Yeah
past nest
was gonna try that one out actually
i thought you kinda needed the weapon for it tho
the "double" shield
turbid dome
Yea
past nest
i mean for using shield bash
turbid dome
It’s pretty common tho and you just gotta grind reign of dragons cause it’s technically an axe
Plus that’s the timeline that drops the other shield anyways
sly magnet
i thought you kinda needed the weapon for it tho
not necessary to get started, but yeah you will want it asap.
shouldn't be hard to get from rune of ascendance. that's how i got my first one for my build.
turbid dome
That too
I do wish that forged weapons would turn into forged shields if you had it equipped
Seeing floating shields just smacking enemies would be funny
Honestly there’s a lot of leveling builds that would work great until you get the stuff for shield bash
past nest
ty for all the advice
turbid dome
no problemo!
tho word of warning, current sentinel does rely on VR (volitile reversal) a lot for damage (and some for mana/health sustain), if your thinking about pushing corruption or just killing bosses quickly learning how to use it is important
it is very easy to explode yourself if you miss use it during a bossfight
alpine canopy
is Vengeance good for anything? Is it a usable single target skill?
It's my skill of choice for a flame burst build. I think some VK erasing strike build uses it, too.
I even use iron blade procs because I don't care about the actual damage of vengeance, just melee hits

I'd recommend Palarus in general and Orians for farming trash.
Sun Seal makes no sense on the first view, but the mechanic is the best qol you can get in an ever channeling sentinal build
turbid dome
I'd recommend Palarus in general and Orians for farming trash.
Sun Seal makes no...
It’s the best qol ring for any build that can fit in sigils
chilly peak
Not if you use Devotion, but else yeah, pretty much that
turbid dome
I think I’d go insane on my wizard vk without it
Given I have 3 skills that I need to smack when they come off cooldown already
alpine canopy
Often times if I use sigils, I just let the on-kill do the work and just slap a few on when I feel like it
Sun seal is nice though... especially since it lets you remove sigils from your bar
chilly peak
That is why I recommend Orians for WP builds. The on kill effect is often enough, but not reliable at all.
As you drop a ton of defense when you stop channeling, that is imo Orians strongest use case to have reliable full stacks

Mastery most fun for first time - Void Knight or Paladin?
Void knight gets a giant slam right out the gate, time travel-y stuff, a jojo stand, spell support
Paladin gets giga sustain, holy aura isn’t flashy but is strong, judgement is also a giant slam, lots of smite/spell support
I personally prefer void knight
bronze lily
Alright ill definitely try Void... Next time ill try Paladin. Thanks
turbid dome
Big thing to remember, void knight loves vitality
bronze lily
What you mean? As in uses it?
turbid dome
Each point of vitality (beyond what it normally gives) gives 0.33% more melee void dmg, +2 flat dmg to void spells, and +2 max hp
bronze lily
Oooooooh. kk That sounds like more damage!
turbid dome
If your using rive you get +1 melee void dmg per vitality with an axe
rive can also have double echo chance for 80% echo chance
bronze lily
Oh good cause im using double hand axe. Just feels amazing even with spinorooni

Oh yeah warpath echos are a lil weird
You need a node for it and you gotta keep moving

Unless the type doesn't match : More Hit Dmg won't apply to a Dot but More Dmg or More Fire Dmg will apply to Con Ground
-
The More Dmg depend on a condition of the enemy : More Dmg to Ignited enemies won't work for subskills, only the main skill

The Node specify ot doesn't work for the subskill

One more small question, without volatile reversal, what other ideas would one have for mana regening the pious offering downside? 😄 Any ideas?
- stacking mana regen

Because volatile reversal was hinted to a slight/complete makeover next patch, want to see if there would be alternatives. 😄
(Although it might still be able to reverse mana state ofc, unsure)

Mana regen is very inefficient to actually gain mana back quickly. The best options for sentinel are the time and faith node in the passives (mana gain on hit), and the mana gain on hit prefixes

Hmmz ye ye, could work... i am trying to play around conq ground as an aura, means I do have some time standing still in between that I could have a better use for, so i could take a fast hitting skill in meanwhile to regain mana, good idea.

You could use Vengeance
It gives you DR, Fire Shred, and has a Global More Dmg to boost Conc Ground
uneven gorge
Vengeance supremacy 💪
waxen nymph
Also VR is 180% More Dmg for Conc Ground. I personally find it hard to avoid but I get that people want to avoid due it VR being clunky to use
fluid sparrow
True
Maybe i should use it...cuz the Time and Faith is also a 5 pointer
And then with Deliverance node behind that, it would give 15 mana per hit, but it won't help with clear
and I mean with clear as in...white trash will die instantly
so no chance to hit with vengeance or whatever
And 5 points in Abyssal endurance is way more useful, 20% void and phys res, and some life...
Just wanted to play around conq ground bec I hit this
I know it aint the best, but it seemed fun 😄
uneven gorge
The only other options for mana regen then are Horns of Uhkeiros, assuming you're building block chance, or warpath and dodge using Telf'un's mirage
Unfortunately sentinel doesn't have a passive and straight forward mana gain skill like focus
fluid sparrow
i don't mind sentinel not completely having it tho 😄
Mana is a puzzle we need to solve
fluid sparrow
true true
uneven gorge
but I don't think it'd keep up
fluid sparrow
Def gonna play around the options, thx for all the ideas 😄
waxen nymph
Honestly for Conc Aura, nothing beat VR
fluid sparrow
Yeah saw the numbers
and so you want VR cd slightly below conq aura's duration to never notice it
waxen nymph
You throw Javelin, press Holy Aura, Press Judgement, press VR and then Shield Rush through the monos
For bossing you equip a crystal wand and you are good to go
waxen nymph
60% More Dmg + Reduced Mana Cost (means more mana consumed) + Battle Standard
fluid sparrow
ooh
waxen nymph
If you happen to be in the Banner Zone when you press Judgment you will get the %Inc Dmg for the whole Conc Aura Duration
forest kelp
just 0.1% haizz

Anyone tried Judgment Melee WorldSplitter ?

Anyone tried Judgment Melee WorldSplitter ?
Unfortunately Pious Offering doesn't count as mana cost for world splitter, so at the end of the day it just ends up being a worse version of erasing strike
waxen nymph
Its still a 42 Mana Cost skill
uneven gorge
With much worse scaling
uneven gorge
HE?

Healing Effect

The added damage effectiveness is 350%. I suppose you could make it work, but I think even forge strike would do better. I tried it before and only remember being woefully disappointed
gusty abyss
The problem with judgement, as with so many sentinal builds, VR :\
waxen nymph
Soon it will be fixed
forest kelp
Dont give hope
waxen nymph
I mean we know for a fact that VR won't give 60/180 %More Dmg + refill all your mana + AS/CS
Now, will we get that back somewhere else is a different question
VR won't be mandatory in every build
gusty abyss
We will see, have not seen a lot of paladin teasers.
uneven gorge
My hopes are in forge guard skills getting buffed (manifest armour just being a punching bag as a skill 😔)
forest kelp
Just having FG's minions be like the Necromancer's would be enough to make me happy. The passive and skills have a lot of support for the minions, but they don't achieve anything
fluid sparrow
VR won't be mandatory in every build
tbh that is a good thing in my opinion 😄 Pigeonholing is never a good thing
waxen nymph
1000% agreed

Volatile Reversal

I’m excited for a movement skill to rival void cleave
Yeh, if we can make a build out of it, maybe it'd be similar to consecrated path which could be a lot of fun

I want it to have an excessive amount of future strike support

Judgement aura is gonna need a gigantic buff to be viable again, even the versions not relying on the mana sustain. Triple damage is no joke.
quiet hearth
Define 'viable'
turbid dome
there are many definitions to the word viable
alpine canopy
In the context, pretty sure the concern is boss dps will be mega bad
Which is definitely my concern for nearly all sentinel DOT builds in 1.2
placid pawn
Anyone tried Judgment Melee WorldSplitter ?
That seems really funny
If you stack +mana
Make judgement eat 60% of your mana, have 4000 mana
ez game
placid pawn
These gloves make me miss PoE2's weapon swapping
Those gloves would be hilarious if you could put Judgement on weapon set 2 with no weapon equipped so you can cast it for the glove bonus then go back to spamming rive or w/e basic attack you have without opening your bag

based on what? Did i miss an announcement?
fluid sparrow
based on what? Did i miss an announcement?
Volatile reversal has been hinter for "major rework" in a way, sometimes mikes said "new skill" instead of "rework" for that one 😛
unsure in what quantity it wil lchange, but we can expect it will have different shit all over 😛
alpine canopy
based on what? Did i miss an announcement?
Like said above, VR is getting completely reworked into a melee attack traversal thing. We don't know what it will look like, but since part of the point of the rework is to remove its status of "mandatory skill" it's very likely that the part of it that nearly triples all your DOT damage will not survive.
They plan on buffing sentinel in general to make up for the loss, but no clue how that will shake out - we've seen some really cool teasers though
alpine canopy
Make judgement eat 60% of your mana, have 4000 mana
Mana consumption effects like that one don't count as mana cost btw. There's of course still some synergy with using world splitter and scaling max mana even on low-ish cost attacks like judgment, but sadly we don't get full screen area slams.
gusty abyss
Judgement still can get to 55 cost though
quiet hearth
I used dots without VR because I hate how it feels and did fine honestly
Dont get me wrong, using it is a huge boost, but it's not mandatory unless you're really pushing deep imo
gusty abyss
thats one hot take
quiet hearth
It's not really a take when Ive done it
alpine canopy
Different people have varied tolerances for things like really long boss fights
gusty abyss
Its not quite like equiping veteran boots, but its close xD
quiet hearth
It's not nearly that bad, I pushed well into the 200s with it, you're not winning any races but it works. Not every build needs to roflstomp all available content to be 'viable. Like I said, VR being tweaked is gonna change a lot, but we dont know any of the other changes either.
alpine canopy
Depending on player skill level, they may need that DPS to kill bosses reliably
but aside from that yeah most things you can beat through attrition
I'd still consider it a mandatory skill for reasonably completing all game content, which is what I consider the bar for viable
quiet hearth
It's not a skill level to run in a circle, Ive played some of the weirdest dumbest builds you could try and gotten to empowered, judgement does just fine without it.
alpine canopy
Well yeah, pretty much everything can get to empowered, it's after that where builds struggle if they aren't decently solid
quiet hearth
Not really, I'd argue almost anything can push into 100, which is the kinda sweet spot that theyve aimed at. Not every build needs to complete the aspirational content to be viable.
turbid dome
I thought 300 was the target
gusty abyss
I thought 300 was the target
It is
alpine canopy
There isn't really any aspirational content yet unless you count pushing corruption limits and arena ladder
gusty abyss
But 300 is their target with low gear investment
Anything that does 300 like that can reach 1k by getting proper legendaries
quiet hearth
we literally have pinnacle content, and I really doubt most things are gonna push to 1k
gusty abyss
And that requires hundreds of hour to get, which most people wont
quiet hearth
harbingers do not take hundreds of hours to get to, nor does the pinnacle boss
gusty abyss
No but 1kc gear does
alpine canopy
The pinnacle boss is just the pinnacle, it's not aspirational content
quiet hearth
that...that is literally aspirational, it's not meant for all builds by design
alpine canopy
it's like the "true ending" of the story that we have right now
No, those are two different things
quiet hearth
Riiight
turbid dome
aspirational content is like hitting 1k corruption
gusty abyss
Everything should be able to do Aberroth.
