2.1 tree when

1rd for there is literally nothing wrong with ziggyd

Ive a photobucket album with 319 and counting rare items i need \poeg\ to appraise.

Can i just post a link or do i post each screenshot?

>>123819909
check the OP

>>123819909
post each screenshot
can keep the thread alive and be a meemer at the same time

Is the anon that made the max block CI build still here? Can you actually explain your build further than just linking the skill tree?

I feel that too much is sacrificed for the block, there isn't any real form of physical mitigation, and the life total is a bit lower than what I would like. Honestly, the only reason that I would go CI block is for Aegis Aurora to heal you a shit ton.

>>123820228
couldnt use an aegis. it doesn't have enough base ES to make up for the loss of ES from passives

i tested it myself. you can get 9k+ ES with nothing but a few ES notables and all of the shield block and shield defense nodes

you could use energized armor and hybrid armor/es gear

it definitely works. the hard parts will be getting the gear you need and finding enough damage to clear high level maps

Hot damn! A ch boss dropped a lot of stuff! What do you priorize to pick up?

What do you use for spell block, if you run it?
What uniques do you run?
Do statuses really hurt you?
What are the pros of doing a max block CI over a life based max block build, if you have run one before?

>>123822049
rainbowstrides, stone of lazhwar

flasks make you immune to status effects for their duration

chaos immunity, more HP, more damage

>>123821194
just grab as much stuff as you can before your anxiety attacks kick in and you need to rmt some exalts

>>123822047
Wow! That was rude, haha! I will rip your lips off!

siege balista is lol like wut? what good is this shit for? looks dumb as fuck

>>123826263

dex totems

>>123826329
still looks shit compared to real totems

>>123826263
built in pierce. less speed, traded for more damage.
perma stun bow builds become possible with ~140% stun threshold reduction. balista - stun - wed - added fire - faster attacks - end chage on mele stun
its retarded, but it should be permastunning everything except some 75+ map bosses

>>123826974
i love dex totems
it's so unique
like iron grip

>>123827105
>>123827457
literally how is it better than ranged attack totem

>>123828260
it has ranged attack totem for free

>>123828260
balista has more basedamage (160%? making it the highest of all ranged attacks) to reach the necessary amount to get past stun thresholds.
rat cant do that. especially with one less gem being used for a ranged attack gem.

>>123828260

free ranged attack totem AND pierce

>>123829283
so it scales off weapon damage? but you can only have one totem unless you use that unique bow but that only does like 100dps

literally how do you get more than one siege ballista?

>>123829434
Ancestral Totem and/or the memetotem chest.

>>123829434
>literally how do you get more than one siege ballista?

right now? you just start duelist and grab the 2x cluster at like 50

in the new tree? dunno but one can assume they may make it easier for ranger

>>123829434
also 100dps is nothing to laugh about when could potentially have 4-6 totems, and drillneck for extra 100% damage

>>123829659
>>123829956
That bow's not coming until Ascendancy.

srs internal crit%?

>>123830591
according to info provided for 1.2, srs has 5%
but ggg probably changed it multiple times since then.

>>123829659
so something like this?

http://poeurl.com/zFEDK12

>>123829956
You can already have a dozen blink arrow clones out, no pierce, though.

>>123832042
blink arrow doesn't use your damage passives and whatnot

Would it be better to use Poison Arrow normally or with a trap?

>>123831938
yeah but i wouldnt grab acro. since you have str/dex nothing keeps you from going armour/eva or IR

Reinstalled this game again. I stopped playing around the time flame pillar got released happy to see its still viable in docks

>>123845297
you sure? from my calculations, you can get around 45 blades up using pledge+fc and still have a bunch of extra sockets
with coc you are using 3 sockets+yes you can easily get 50 (wow 5 more blades) up.. in BIG PACKS but against bosses or single target it will be SHIT.. so I'm not so sure desu..

and then the other new phys spell sucks too because 5% base crit chance

>>123845163
>>123845297
You can easily get 50 blades out at once even without vaal haste, which means the blade at level 1 is 250-350 damage. Use Blasphemy + Poach and Warlord = beefy tank.

While people are gaga-ing over BV I'll be making a Bladefall build because of the insane base damage since you can only access it at level 28. Supreme GGG logic.

>>123845579
no one's gonna play a pledge BV build in HC

the hardest part will be getting enough defenses to survive t10+ maps

i would like to do a max block BV build but i'm not sure if it will do enough damage

they really just need to release the fucking patch notes already... fuck's sake it's so frustrating trying to plan builds when you have no information

>>123854608
The pre-race chat was filled with hate speech and racial slurs. After getting multiple complaints about it from our users, we have decided to make a change.

We decided to mute the offenders from speaking until reaching level 2 in the specific race. That way they can still interact with the chat when they want to share a lucky unique drop or a good rare but don't contribute to the toxic nature of the pre-race chat.

I hope this answered all your questions.

Happy racing exiles!

And into the trash it goes

Why is GGG so obsessed with creating CoC shit?

>threre is a white gem that let's you create a portal for free
What's the point? I probably have more portal scrolls than mana anyway, and it's not like someone would just find this gem at the very beginning when it _might_ be useful.

>>123856810
theres no mana cost.

portal used to be linked to cast on death in scrubcore back before they had resurrect 5 feet from where you died.

>>123856810
also not to mention that tp scrolls are much quicker, but ggg is great at creating useless gems

>>123855997
While I appreciate you replying to me, it doesn't answer my question. There's a bunch of people chatting pre-race before the race even starts. I've never said anything offensive.

reminder that contagion's base mana cost is 26 which means that, in a 6 link, it will cost at least 110 mana

Are there any gimmick builds around damage reflection? Just wondering because I don't think I ever saw a piece of armor that reflected that much.

This is how I would build siege ballista if they wouldn't change the tree: http://poeurl.com/zFGDC1U
RT iron grip siege ballista:
>use lioeneye's fall to convert the destroyer and wrecking ball clusters to bow
>use rain of splinters for 3 projectiles
>get a gud pdips bow with bad crit
>sustain on mana by gulping, can also take a few reduced mana/increased mana nodes or place blood magic gem
>main setup: siege ballista - ppad - FA - and possible other links: added fire, WED, slower proj and blood magic
>use split arrow chain CoH curse of choice (vulnerability/ele weakness) to curse on a 4l, later can use frenzy GMP chain CoH curse on a 5l
>run hatred and maybe herald of fire or whatever
>rallying cry if mana, enduring cry if not (can also take end charges)
>bandits: oak - kraityn - kill
The thing is I'm scaling with totem nodes and converted nodes and iron grip instead of bow passives, but I'm sure it will scale pretty well because of the 140% base damage of the totems at level 1. I also took attack speed for totems to try to balance the 50% less attack speed.
Thoughts? I think siege ballista has a lot of potential to be FoTM, even if people don't use dedicated builds for it I can see bow builds running a 4l siege ballista setup to increase their damage output on bosses or in bad situations

>>123857851
enjoy waiting 10 seconds for whites to die

>>123860659
the new chaos spells will be most likely shit unless contagion has good numbers in which case it will be like prolif and get nerfed on the next patch.
PA will probably be gutted

>a level 4 skill

nice meme

>>123860757
unless the new chaos notables are god tier it wont matter

~700str with iron will should make up the difference

>>123860717
I'd take advantage of the fact that you can place totems close to monsters and go chin sol + point blank instead

>>123861063
yeah but the clear speed won't be great since the range for close range is too small and you'll have to place a lot of totems to clear a pack

>>123861047
it's only 140%, so assuming the numbers on contagion are similar to pa that gives you ~2.4k dps without other modifiers

nice build desu

>>123860916
>flame totem
>srs
>both level 4

nice b8 anon

>>123861178
so unless the new chaos notables give at least 140% damage it's not worth it

i'll bet that contagion base damage will be overpowered as fuck and that you won't need every chaos damage notable to clear end game

Frenzy charges and poacher's has "mobs are less evasive" which means I might not need a Vagan dagger.

>>123864669
warlords doesn't work with EK so my guess is it won't work with vb either

>>123864726
this build is far from optimal
first, scaling with elemental damage is bad on skills like ice crash, because you're only scaling half of the damage that is converted to cold damage. Scaling with phys is better, because you're scaling the whole part of it.
End charge on melee stun on your setup is bad, put fortify on your main setup instead. Generate end charges with enduring cry.
The leech nodes are pretty bad specially for ice crash that only gets half the phys leech due to conversion
armor is not specially good, and templar start isn't either, marauder is better. Instead of using the blood magic keystone you should use the gem.
Hypothermia isn't good since it won't apply to the first hit, and you have other priorities, I'm not a fan of faster attacks for ice crash either since it has a less attack speed modifier
Vitality is totally shit, especially if blood magic
I would rather do something like this http://poeurl.com/zFG78b4
ice crash - melee phys - BM - fortify - WED/lgoh/life leech(shouldn't really be needed, just get leech on jewelry)/added fire
hatred - HoA - AA
>>123864930
with warlords mark you get life leech which kinda spares you a life leech gem on your main setup
>>123864992
warlords does work with EK, why wouldn't it?

>>123865369
>with warlords mark you get life leech which kinda spares you a life leech gem on your main setup
doesn't seem worth losing frenzys. it will be easy to switch back and forth though so we shall see

>>123865769
anyways 75% mana reserved is a huge cost, plus losing a ring slot for doedre's I don't think it's worth it

>>123864726
>>123865369
My current ice crash build lv 87 duelist

It's one handed, it has more survivability potential than your build. Especially if you can get a legacy BoR and max out block. Though I'm not using BoR with the build atm but a meh tier armor + es 5L

>>123865369
>templar start isn't either
I figured temp start wouldn't be the best, but I'm sick of playing as marauder desu

ice crash
bm
melee phys
fortify
lgoh->ll (until I can sustain just through gear) -> WED
added fire

replace fortify in the leap slam links with bm as well

and run HoA and AA
but since templar doesn't get hatred and can't buy it, what should I run until I can get one?
Determination? Anger? Haste?

I plan to play with a friend later on, and I will probably pull him through cruel mode today. But there is a point I am a bit concerned about.

If I do the bandit quest with him, will that have any influence on my reward I got from already doing the quest? Probably not, but I want to make sure. How will it go down? Will I just not vote on which Bandit we kill and which we let live?

im glad you agree

>WHAT ARMOR? YOURE WEARING A FUCKING CLOAK
>what maybe 1000 armor

unless this is bait, armor can come from other shit other than chest, including flasks. and ultimately results in phys reduction. which is also affected by: a passive, and charges. you can have 24% phys resist with zero armor if wanted. but with that cloak you could still have a solid 10k armor without flask if you use shield

pls stop the retardation. caps dont make an argument for you

>>123888912

It's not that difficult to start gearing for zombies, spectres take slightly more effort.

They're very useful you're not playing it well. The point of a staff is that you can get a 5L or a 6L while you can take a kaoms heart for chest and get 1500 hp on chest alone. If you use searing touch with flameblast kaoms also synergizes well.

>>123880025
It is good, but with incinerate it is kind of meh.

Fireball is meh.

Flameblast works with it.

Later on you just rather get a staff for both of these skills along with a kaoms heart.

Time travel to where?

I don't know it feels like the whole thing with the beast isn't over at all. The devs still didn't really reveal what it is other than something that made the gems and can apparently warp realities.

Also I wonder what you get to do next seeing as we killed off all the major lore figures in act 4.

>>123909749
Abyssal Cry, Infernal Blow, Flesh Offering, Bone Offering, Detonate Dead, Glacial Hammer, Gratuitous Violence (I think that's the one at least), Quetzalcoatl or whatever that mace thing is called. And probably lots more stuff I'm forgetting.

That's why I say time travel, back to the period where the beast was sealed in the mines. Some of the now dead lore figures are pretty old, so we could meet them in younger or something.

This explains everything pretty well.

First you had the vaal, they discovered gems and made sacrifices to the ''beast'' for the queen Atziri and her thaumaturgist Doryani. On one day they tried to make a communion for something and it caused the first cataclysm whiping out the vaal entirely.

Then came 400 years later the eternal empire. They started experimenting with gems, mainly Malachai and his assistant (the three you fight just before Malachai). The emperor had a gemling legion before him that was linked to him so if he died all the gemlings did. People used the gems to improve their own abilities.

Voll didn't like this and thought of this as sin. He recruited the Karui to attack Lioneye and he gatherd a huge following to form the purity rebellion. Victario had a friend who was friends with the emperor who managed to kill the emperor and his gemlings. Malachai was powerless, and Voll made himself the emperor. Somehow Malachai convinced Voll that he and Dialla would destroy all thaumaturgy and put an end to the gems. This however backfired and the rapture device caused a cataclysm and made Malachai the prime servant of the beast.

This covers the most important parts.

>you'll NEVER EVER lick her delicious lewd feet

I stil find the endurance charge system kinda counterintuitive, atleast for my character. I have two auras that enhance my offensive capabilites and are permanently on. End charges are defensive but have to be "activated", which I do with the war cry at the beginning of a battle (and try to chain it together with other mop groups on the way).
But here is the thing: I have to get close to the monsters to activate my full defense, while my full offense is permanently activated. Ideally it would be the other way around, the defense is always there to buy me time for the activation of my offense.
I'm not complaining, it is just a thing I noticed. I guess timing that mechanic right is part of the skill ceiling of marauders.

>>123911418
Not with that attitude.

>>123911182
Ah, okay, thanks. Sounds like your average ARPG story. And just there you told me where the time travel would go. Only problem is a potential time paradox, when you meet Dialla and she does not regonize you "later on" in act 3, but that could actually be played for comedic effect (her belittling you in the past as a cockroach)

>>123912379
they want to make it so there is a cost for having endurance charges, so the incentive for them is "near" a melee char's playstyle, but not so for a ranged one (even if you can still have them, its just trickier).

There's a lot of the present world that hasn't been explored. There's also a precedent for long dead historical figures being able to punch you in the present time without time travel shenanigans. There's Beyond lore being a thing GGG wants to explore further, there's maps being dreams within a dream, there's the entire continent of Oriath etc.

The Beast being a source of universal transmogrification pretty much leaves the lore writers able to write whatever the fuck they want as well so while GGG has lately lost the ability to write non-shit characters I don't think they have any reason to resort to timetravel bullshit.

Ok guys I know most of you don't care anymore but soon (when darkshrines end) the poeg HC guild (no sporkers allowed), the one that was removed from the OP due to the tag drama, will get purged because it's full of people who haven't played for years. Once it happens, if you want to get invited again you'll have to post in the general or something like that, to prevent outsiders getting in. The tag will be discussed, it will probably be something not memetic but rather normal like POEG. The officers will change and maybe the leader to assure there's always someone active up there.
I know the guild has pretty bad reputation in this general but still I guess there will be people who will want to enter it.
Some rules will be enforced, English only in guild chat (this is for you, finns. Speak English or fuck off) and the slots will be prioritized for hardcore players.
I would like that whoever makes the new thread OP could put this in their post, so everyone can see it.
