Lvl 75-? Holy Fire Spell Spammer 1.0.6

[white lagoon]

We are eating well

[deft osprey]

I ran away from the holy fire build bc I don’t reclicking the ability. xD

[white lagoon]

Theres also the other mitigation mechanic that cuts that in half and lavaspur boots

[ripe hedge]

You don't need to anymore

[deft osprey]

Ppl still say that u need to click it often

Like it shuts off for ppl

[ripe hedge]

i wouldn't know im just judging based off of the patch notes

[deft osprey]

You’re back on CTE In 3 weeks right? When poe becomes boring

Or u think longer bc this league mechanic is nice

[woven fox]

On that note sadly I tried to see if it was possible to have hf constantly proc when u have the unique on but seems not possible

[ripe hedge]

Idk tbh depends how much i want to reroll

I haven't even rerolled once yet, which i want to but im only like... 30-40div from my league start from popping off super hard. And then mageblood would be next upgrade which make the build even better lol

[deft osprey]

I quit POE bc of mage blood

[ripe hedge]

Power siphon of the archmage totem Heirophant, first time in a while since i've been able to enjoy a totem build. Ever since ggg has starting improving handcasting spell totem just gets worse and worse 🙁

[ripe hedge]

I don't normally use it, feels cheap in the worst way

[deft osprey]

Totems on CTE are actually Omega viable now

But shaman kinda blows for passives

[ripe hedge]

I saw the totem changes but didn't read them enough to digest the changes. Did know that arrow totem got bonked pretty hard still looks viable tho

[deft osprey]

I’m a hater of arrow totem after the changes

[ripe hedge]

lol fair enough, looks like it actually gets punished by some of the downsides that were previously ignored

I saw Holy Spark got buffed but still 2 second hit rate sadly

Or holy shock? idr its name

[ripe hedge]

Btw also i could be, why do you ask?

[white lagoon]

One day in like a year ill come back to cte to finish my crazy op minstrell crusader build, until then guys have a good one

[deft osprey]

So we can become nerds and find how to get back to 3m dps

[ripe hedge]

LMFAO

real and tru

[deft osprey]

bc my solo cooking is burning the house down on 99% ideas ATM

I need a cooking partner

[ripe hedge]

But i never stopped being a nerd i just changed games 🤓

[deft osprey]

Nerd out on this game would u

[ripe hedge]

I only quit because my weapon got deleted in the dumbest way, i was power leveling a new character basically hit 80 in like a day of actually leveling, did have a short intermission of 1-2 days where i used the no xp necklace to farm a ton of level 50 uniques so i could use them later for leveling other stuff

Lost a well rolled level 50 hellrack iirc(maybe it was even lower level tbh idr) to one of those mobs that eats enchanted items and gives xp. muncher? idk but i giga tilted

[deft osprey]

I play the public server, I’m currently the most tryhard on it. I’m helping my friend do str stack, he’s at 771 str IIRC

[ripe hedge]

BIG number nice

i've wanted to do stat stacking but you need to farm so much

[deft osprey]

He lost the 2nd pillar so idk what’s going to happen

[ripe hedge]

I was on the patreon server someone offered to add me as their plus one and how could i say no?

[deft osprey]

Nice

[ripe hedge]

Before that i was only playing on my own server

That being said i don't know how access to the patreon server works doesn't look like anyone was really playing much anymore. Maybe i can get my character and items transferred to the server you're on.

That being said they got rid of the discord chat intergration channels? i don't see them anymore

Ghost Shroud magic shield per second is increased from 5% to 10% of your max magic shield per second for 3 seconds.
Oh wow i missed this... holy. this is enough to cover MS holy fire.

[deft osprey]

you can transfer your character, make a ticket

Wraeclast is my server

[ripe hedge]

When the time comes, i might just do that. Would be nice to have someone to theory craft tons of builds with 🙂

[white lagoon]

ms holy fire was super volatile due to needing to take hits from enemies to regen, dont think the 10% is enough, mby if with the new unique ur able to keep even and not go negative

idk how higher difficulties are now but when u were taking 10k a hit and not regening that much with ghost shroud it was a pain. If only it scaled is msr

got to the point i just said fuck it and for bosses specially i was only using clamor crash from minstrell for dps

[ripe hedge]

I think its enough @90% max fire res you burn 6.6% MS/HP sec and Ghost Shroud **was **5% MS regen, afaik its not considered healing so you can't scale it with Harmony game changer or any other ways. So you would be negative 1.6% even if you had 100% uptime.

And now you will be positive 3.4% regen at full uptime with just ghost shroud. You break even at 2/3 uptime, but obviously paired with other sources I'm assuming you'll be big chilling now assuming you aren't just running straight into everything which depending on your other defenses might be okay in most cases.

[deft osprey]

The items required is kinda tough now, I think the helms creator wants hybrid MS / HP.
Which I disagree with.

[ripe hedge]

You don't need help but ya i see the synergy and i also disagree

But you don't need the helm for ghost shrouds

[deft osprey]

For the calculations I think the helm is really OP.
Also adding 3 lvls to it gives it a lot of strength.

[ripe hedge]

I thought you could use it well just by stacking flat health regen

and ignore max life regen

ik im not using chieftain with it, thats for sure

The fact that MS regen is so rare i'll take anything i can get honestly 😛

[woven fox]

New helm is no longer hp based but it does benefit from having hp regen to support base ms regen

Tho it is also a chainmail base so deff not es focused

[deft osprey]

wym no longer? Like next patch it's changed?

What's changed?

[woven fox]

Oh no I meant the v first virsion

[deft osprey]

oh

[woven fox]

But also seems like someone is taking up the hf torch until I come back

Until then I’ll prob finish my 8th VH playthru then return to make a es build

[deft osprey]

who?? Ler?

[woven fox]

Ye tho won’t lie it looks sorta looks like the early version of build b4 changes

[white lagoon]

u were already positive with damage mitigation and lavaspur which brought it down to like 3%. And yeah it doesnt scale off of harmony or anything of the sort

i forget the name, but yeah

[ripe hedge]

oh lowkey forgot about lavaspur, if you were positive it was probably barely

thats means its even better ngl 😄

[deft osprey]

I find it funny playing a build that has 40k MS, while having 240-500 armor XDDDDDD

(Chainmail helm unique xdddddd)

[white lagoon]

issue with it was basically having to spec into dodge which meant u were too spread out, trickster tree had issues with stuff not scaling from dodge% so it was rly bad, and yeah

taking 2 5k hits to heal 30% total which doesnt stack with itself, and if u roll unluckily ur just dead

and it aint like u can just kite cuz without the ghost shroud proc ur negative

i need to read if they made any changes to trickster tree

"Healing Received stat now applies to magic shield heals."

[ripe hedge]

really?

I figured it already did lol

[white lagoon]

idk, if only u could dodge self damage and self proc the ghost shroud

[ripe hedge]

Feel like it'd be too op

would barely need any dodge chance since you're taking 2 hits/sec and you only need to get hit once every 3s

[white lagoon]

idk cuz whatever ur investing into dodge ur also losing in magic shield. and for elementalist no but at least for my minstrell version i was trying to cook up, u needed something like that

cuz it was weak in terms of damage, like giga weak

250k weak

and was still having issues even with all the damage reduction and magic shield regen buffs

now that auras get better tho idk, but like, insane how much u needed to invest to just get 2 shot by the right enemy at tier 60+

[woven fox]

Tbh ghost shroud just feels bad in general too many steps for getting the reward and hf mainly is a str or int build as well

[forest sentinel]

Il prob wait for next major update, I rly want/need to see some changes to the tree, atleast crafting is functioning now.

[white lagoon]

ud go int but spec into trickster for the ascendancy to convert magic shield to dodge. tho yeah its too many steps for the reward its VERY gimmicky

fuck i just noticed they nerfed minstrell

thats... boring

Im probs gonna give up on that version of the build and hf entirely if i cant do a maximum investment into one skill build that can actually be played

[royal pivot]

just find this : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6KuuBc_sP4

[high flare]
