perhaps but a retaliation build would objectively be the most ethical build possible because you aren't personally attacking anything

max block gladiator has been OP for a while now and consistently buffed with each patch, especially breach

you're not reinventing the wheel here

do you mean reckoning and not retaliation

>>169200941

Necro is the best SSF class and here's why:

Commander of Darkness gives 20 all res, the most of any ascendancy

Self-cast Flesh Offering and Spirit Eater makes you the fastest caster, faster than Inquisitor even

Minions nodes make surprisingly tanky golems and zombies that never die for FREE meat shields

why do people hate on based ziggyd?

his laugh is fake

Just ditched Diablo 3 for PoE. Man, why did i wait so long?

I only got to level 15 or so last night, but damn this game is awesome.

A little overwhelming at first, especially coming from the polished turd known as D3 where everything is cookie cutter af and designed for a 12 year old.

I'm a longgg time D2, and Torchlight player so this is definitely refreshing. I thought i would hate acquiring skills from socket items, but it's actually really badass.

Idk, i just wanted to share the positive experience, but if anyone has any must know tips for me, i'd greatly appreciate it. And holy shit is the general chat active....

Daily reminder adding Skeleton Points enforced core mechanics based on killed skeleton and demi-skeletons, skeleton level, skeleton tier, bones/color and skeletal girt could end frustating unethical builds permanently while making PoE the first truly legitimate ARPG with full Skeleton System while completely negating boredom by using the inherent self regulating properties of the almighty RNG but it will never happen because GGG secretly makes all their money off selling Skeleton IP for other games.

>but muh path of life nodes
>but muh Spider Tokens
>but muh non-ethical sexual orientation

There are no advantages to the current system that aren't outweighed by extreme disadvantages which undermine the entire game, that wouldn't be replaced by significant advantages in a Skeleton Point system. Prove me wrong, you can't.

What's the point of Soul Taker again? attacks are cheap mana wise and easily sustained and it has poor pdps so there's little point in using it unless to reserve 100% of your mana for an Aegis setup, but that's not what you're going for

How is that a better ascendancy for trappers than Saboteur? is this some coordinated shitposting? are you guys really that fucking retarded?

Is it ethical to play ES but only have ~6k ES?

No Acro & Co:

buttbirds are actually saying demis are worthless now

Assuming I go for Gladiator with block ascendancies and end/fren charge buffs, should I go for GV or the buffs on block?

I don't see the problem. This means it can prevent 1000 damage. If you think of it like 1000 extra life it seems like a good deal.

thanks for reiterating the joke

>>169209752
Looking at armour phys reduction as flat reduction is pretty retarded because it completely ignores what it's good for, which is swarms of "small" hits, if you reduce such hits by 90%, then armour starts to sound pretty good yeah?

>>169210354
try occultist mirror/blink arrow

>>169208932
>if youre doing CA do CA.
I don't get it. Also, ED and CAS both benefit from the same damage multipliers except for arrow/bow

>>169209082
>allows you to run CE on CA
CA is caustic arrow, but what's CE?
>just don't get hit
That SOUNDS very simple. made the experience that it just doesn't work out that well, even with Blink Arrow
On my Trickster Testrun I made the experience that AoE isn't that important and I run into problems with stronger and/or faster enemies, which is why I always had blight with me because it stacks up so well.

>>169211154
not any of those guys but when use 2 different attack skills in a "combo" fashion, you run into an innate minimal ~300-400ms delay when you switch between them. this can make it feel shit to use that build when you are clearing at a decent speed

>>169211418
yes. and youre gimping yourself using a +X bow for ED (with no shield) or a 4L CA which is total trash

>>169211664
>>169211418
I normally use CA for just firing into enemy groups and ED+Cont for tougher groups, especially with pierce

what's the optimal 5L for srs now? faster casting or echo still necessary in a non fancy staff?
SRS > minion dmg > melee phys > splash > added fire?

>>169212245
i think you would be better off using your CA casting frames to curse strong packs, and clear everything with ed

>>169211418
>>169211664
>>169212245
Addendum:

How does a good CA build differ from a ED build then apart from the bow?
ED simply does more Damage to simple targets, what would be a CA build's bossmelter?

>>169212375
CA build scales projectile, AoE and chaos damage

ED scales projectile, chaos + essence decay + poison

>>169212593
lol

>>169212593
>essence decay
wuts dat?
>poison
why? none of them do poison and there is so little specifically for poison
>>169212358
>using CA to curse
Does CA cause a hit to croups? i thought the DoT doesn't cause a hit like Scorch or Blight.
As I said, currently my build is a trickster but don't know what to start as in 2.6

>>169212340
i dont think you need echo anymore

>>169212984
google whats decay essence
you chaos hits poison with consuming dark (ed)
i never said to curse with CA. just instead of using CA, use a curse

honestly if you are this new to the game, just try and make a simpler build

>>169212984

this is kind of why I'd like at least some big boss smashes to be replaced with a series of hard to avoid but moderately damaging physical hits

Deadeye is the best archer ascendancy for cheap/starting the league. It has damage out of the box. And it's not complicated to build around

>best ascendancy for x
Highly depends on the skill and damage scaling you want.

>>169216160

deadeye gives a few offensive bonus, nothing defensive and happens to share a class with raider and pathfinder, both of which are MUCH better for any build you could possibly do as deadeye (perhaps except for frost blades)

SSF is literally the only way to play

>>169216596
But I've already made a Raider last league and Pathfinder seems a bit too flask-oriented for my liking. That's why I wanted to make a Deadeye.
Does Shadow or Duelist maybe have a decent ascendency for archery?

I already live SSF

dont need to roleplay it on vidya

>>169216787
Every character is flask oriented. Pathfinder capitalizes on this.

>>169216787
Slayer is decent for bows
Deadeye is similar but you need a good crit bow to make it work
Pathfinder works better for ele bows which is more budget because you get the 10% ele pen

SSF is for old school players who like the old school feeling of roguelikes

Trading is for millenials who hop on Overwatch after 2 weeks once they're done buying their challenges

all depends on how long you wanna enjoy PoE desu

Why don't people want to utilize an offhand

I made a build last league that I couldn't see to fruition that did it and it seemed to work great

You can scale up both frost blades and molten strike at the same time, then use separate weapons.

It was raider with frost blades being those chain claws and then ms on good rare leech claws with high AS. Scaling phys, claws, projectiles, ele, and dual wield, overly high life pool and evasion

It would only work better this league.

>>169217057
>>169216914
Oh yeah I completely overlooked the fact that Bows are 2-handed weapons lmao.
Assassin can also be pretty good indeed, with the 8 bottom nodes. Might go that way.
Thanks for the advice famalams.

i can barely get off with 1, let's not complicate things

>>169216596
>a noobtrap
I'd say it takes more than just being a noob at the start of a league to outpace the damage early.

You and I would most likely not have that problem but you would need a more complex build with better scaling to overcome a simple tornado shot deadeye

I suspect most people shilling for ssf wont even stick to that play mode. And even if you do, why do you feel threatened about those who dont play like that?

You're not making any sense.

>>169218931
I have a friend I play with
I like to get the challenges done and quickly as possible before trying new builds and possibly ssf
I like playing niche builds
I like selling things and building wealth, especially early, for leverage
In this league getting more of those legacy uniques is a goal, so clear speed is more important

More importantly, I don't find ssf challenging as much as pretentious. I might find it preferable in another league without friends

>What would be the point of "shilling" for SSF when you're SOLO SELF FOUND and the numbers of players in the league is irrelevanr?

Then why do you care who plays it or not to the point of trying to trick people div cards make ssf better (they not, at least not anymore)?

If you case so much, it must be for a reason.

>>169219158
> getting carried
I have 3 boat anchors I'm going to be carrying, but it makes the game more enjoyable to play with others

The builds are different too because you try to eliminate redundancy and create synergy

Honestly getting uppity about ssf is the most cringey thing this game has ever seen. It's no coincidence the most prolific ssf player is also the most cringey one this game has ever seen

>>169219506
I don't find PoE to be a very enjoyable game to be played in a party, most of the time it's a clusterfuck of visual effects or one or more person getting carried by an aurabot, and even if you're on the same level more or less and with non spammy builds, you have to adjust to the other person's pace which is not enjoyable

Fair enough point if you have friends though

>>169219687

>>169219775
Well my computer sucks balls so we pick non crazy visual builds (I think with 4 people it's bad regardless anyway)

As someone who played ssf for 2 leagues when div cards were just added because i thought they would fix ssf (and it was actually nice at first); im certain 90% of those claiming they will play ssf will either just quit 1 week into the new league or leave the ssf bracket. Spending 6 days farming a kaoms with the current drop rates and gimped diviners is just going to be plain unfun.

>>169221080

you might not eat the same kind of exotic dishes (builds that rely on multiple uniques) as in restaurants, but it doesnt mean homemade cooking tastes like shit
