>who cares about a 10c build
Probably the game designers who want the game to be interesting to a wide panel of players with each their own aspirations and time constraints. The game needs to cater to both the 10c casuals and the 50ex tryhards.

Remove all red map bosses, guardians, and Shaper, and do most people care? If you care about end end end game, why does it bother you that some skills/builds come up on top?

because there are no options

i can't play a 50ex fireball build and kill shaper. before you'd at least be able to pick between 10 or so skills and still make it work, but i doubt you can get near that now

>>155847687
there's a huge difference between killing shaper and tanking shaper though
honestly most skills can kill shaper since it's more about player skiller rather than pure numbers

Are you telling me to go for strictly inferior nodes or something? Why would I take 4% life nodes when there are more than enough 5%'s available?
>>
>>155847995
>because I want to try different builds and be competitive?
You can. Top 50 in EHC features a vast variance of different builds, it's not 50 BV CI PF with some guardian supports in between.

>Why would I want to play an inferior build?
This is highly subjective. As far as I know, the only person who sells Shaper kills on EHC is an ED character. Is it an inferior build? If so, even more credit to him for being the only person to consistently farm Shaper on an "inferior" build.

>On the same token, why would I want to play the same OP shit league after league?
The OP shit usually gets nerfed, I thought we agreed upon this assumption already.
>>
>>155847871
you can hit 120+ LGOH, and with the right gem setup you can be hitting 20 times per second, resulting in at least 2400 life regained per second
On top of that you also have life leech and regen
>>
>>155848063
Why would you take 12% melee damage nodes when you have 159% total life on a melee character?
>>
>>155848378
m8 you can't hit balls or a 20k overhead slam
your strategy is only sound against an immobile target that you can leech against
>>
>>155848478
Oh, so that's what you meant, interesting. I'll see if that effects my dps much. No need to get so prickly over a small build mistake, though.
>>
>>155848350
BV, ED, EQ, and Ancestral totem were top tier last league as well.

when was the last time ball lightning, vortex, ice nova, shock nova, firestorm, fireball, glacial cascade, ice spear, frostbolt, magma orb, cleave, elemental hit, etc etc etc... have been top tier?

you wouldn't consider any of the above listed skills as mechanically inferior to something like ED, FB, EQ, or BV ?

how can you possibly believe projectile based spells or small aoe skills or wanky shit like storm call are anything but shit?
>>
>>155848478
I ended up taking your advice. losing about 1k dps for a return of 250 or so hp. I think it was a good tradeoff.
>>
>>155848867
Lightning Arrow is a top tier skills you fucking scrub memeposter shitter
>>
>>155848867
You went from "there's only a handful of good skills at the top" to "why aren't those shitty skills able to kill Shaper?" which leads me to believe you still have no fucking clue what skill balance means. It certainly doesn't mean Elemental Hit or Frostbolt need to be on par with BV.

Shaper has been done deathless with Vortex and Icestorm, one which you cited in your list of shit skills, and the other being mechanically similar to Firestorm.

ED is a poor skill mechanically, it's slow and and even slower with SP, and has garbage effective damage without 100% pierce. You have no idea what you're talking about, stop parroting reddit, it gets tiring.
>>
fuck off discord
>>
>>155848867
Ball lightning was top tier when it was released early. Then they toned it down significantly. Never really picked up since then.
Firestorm was good after they changed how it worked a while back. Just go crit.
Ice spear was top tier like a year and a half, two years back. When you could perma freeze all but like three map bosses with it.
Cleave was the meta at one point.
But yeah. All of those, aside from maybe magma orb because of the wonky physics and elemental hit because of the god awful mana cost and unreliable element type procs are viable in high-ish tier maps. I've ran all of them at one point in time so I can vouch for it. You gotta keep in mind that a skill doesn't have to compete with the best skills out there to be good. You can be a minute or two slower in your clears and still be just fine.

The difference between Discipline and Blasphemy is that Clarity is not % based.

So you reserve 70% who cares. 70% of 1500 would be nothing with Clarity added on. Which you should have but you're a retard with 1000 mana at 851 INT - half your mana is fucking INT you mongoloid.

Don't think of it as "negating the negatives." You want to get all that increased ES even before you halve it with Acrobatics. Unless you have some way of getting 400%+ increased ES. CI builds generally go for 200% increased ES or more.
>>
>>155861410
ES builds easily hit at least 250 because INT gives you % ES while life from STR is flat.

Pledge of Hands sounds like a poor choice for Vortex. Sure you get a roughly 150 spell damage and 100% mana which works well with MoM but Spell Echo is also a 10% less damage multiplier that double dips on Ignite. I assume you're going Pyre for strong ignites, otherwise most of the potential of the skill - spell damage applied to DoT - is wasted imo.

So not only is Pledge of Hands potential 7L not helpful in the case of a spell that doesn't rely on cast speed to do huge damage, you lose out on a +2 to cold gem level with a regular rare staff which is extremely affordable with essence crafting.

If you want a defensive setup, a regular 1h+shield would probably be better. Doryani's alone is probably stronger than PoH by itself (up to 132 elemental damage, no SE) and you get leech and a faster Shield Charge. There's even an option to get mana on block with delirium essence although I haven't run the math to see if it's worthwhile.

Why? beginners don't need damage, they need the life buffer to tank hits they receive because they're shit and new to the game. Why would you design a build that's targeted to beginners and make it a glass cannon?

The build in question is pewpewpew's firestorm build. 159% life at level 85 with 1 jewel socket for a potential 166%.
>>
OK bowfags riddle me this: pathfinder or deadeye? What would/did you pick?
>>
>>155863769
159% at level 85 is fine faggot. Gear becomes more important at that point. Or are you going to sperg about needing 180% worth of life nodes?
>>
>>155863769
he probably has ES to back up that life though
>>
>>155863818
Assassin so my barrage melts the fucking world, and my 6% base Rift can crit a high amount with nearly no crit investment.
It's actually because I respecced from a lacerate build. But it's working well and feels pretty goodAlso I'm not currently using Barrage, I hit 25% Blast Rain dmg on my first helm enchant
>>
>>155864058
I looked it up after I read his post. No ES buffer. He does use an assload of zombies to mindlessly act as meatshields though. I don't think there's anything wrong with the build for new players.
>>
>>155863818
Raider. FREE elemental status immunity while phasing. Ditch your freeze and shock flasks, a quartz flask will do the trick (if you somehow run our of frenzy charges). You can cover all elemental effects plus bleed or curses with a single flask.
>>
>>155863962
Quick math:
Level 85 base life: 50+84*12 = 1058
Strength bonus (it's a Witch build): 150/2 = 75
Life from tree: 50
Normal Oak: 40
50 life on 7 pieces of gear (generous assumption for a new player) = 350

(1058+75+50+40+350)*2.59 = 4074 life

Would you be okay with 4k life at level 85? Remember, this is a build targeted to BEGINNERS
>>
>>155863051
Running 4link triple hit heavy strike as my single target dps - not viable?
>>
>>155864489
If the build is able to get a first time player to level 85 then it has done its job.
Most new players that hop on and blindly follow a guide on the forums end up getting fucked in mid to late cruel when they can't kill anything and they die to every pack and are forced to reroll
>>
>>155861410
Dair enough, the chaos ondes are for phys nodes+ inssbury edge combo.
>>
>>155864808
That build is not making it to 85 in the hands of a new player, especially not when the author favors zombies (???) as a defensive layer instead of raw life and a decoy totem... why you would stack damage as an Elementalist when your ascendancy gives you so much damage already is beyond me
>>
>>155861135
Think it'd be better as an assassin? Crit would be awesome + the poison and power charges, but i was gonna go for frenzy chargesz.
>>
>>155865148
Holy shit, anon. New players aren't going to have a map pool built up. 4k life is plenty for running mid tier maps. Which, well, most of them will have to rely on for exp.
Even if they did, what does it matter? It's a fucking cookie cutter build on the forums. The vast majority of them are shit. Why are you complaining about it here?
Besides, non crit firestorm is ass. Be a man.

I get so triggered when a popular newbie friendly build claims to be hc viable then preaches the 160% life is enough myth, I think it's about time I shared my 320% life EA hardcore viable build but it'd probably fall on deaf ears because the damage is already done and newbies only want damage damage damage

160% hp does work on hc, but only if you have high as fuck blocking, with another mitigation.

I think its stupid to have prophecies bound to a certain difficulty.

they're not that popular I feel, some players might overlook them, and if they get rid of this limit, or at least make it so that when you seal the prophecy, it loses the difficulty requirement, so that you could for example stock pile some of them, like rogue exile who only drops rares, it would be great to open like 6 of them and go do your t15 map, for extra challenge but mostly tons of potentially good rares.

This might also increase the trade of more prophecies.

It's still the best melee skill in the game. But 90% see some reduction by GGG and think the skill is ele hit tier. Same shit with spark, still strong as fuck and NO ONE is using it anymore because it got toned down a little.
>>
>>155870345
its the best strenght skill when you get it, thats all

combined with the highest damage weapons in the game, 2h maces, its very easy to level.
spend a few alts on a white, use the recipe or an essence, its so easy to faceroll everything until maps there is no point using something else
all you need is a 4 link with melee phys added fire fortify and you're unkillable with your 4k hp at the end of cruel

marabserker 200%ish life

bv+echo+controlled d+iw+leech+added fire (this is partially determined by the colors of my 6l)

3 curses via rings: enfeeble, poachers, warlords

no vp because the build also has 10% life regen. with vorici amulet and max q life leech the 3-5% total leech speed should be acceptable, plus the regen and the life on hit by poachers

why not just vp instead of stacking 3 other regen metods? too many points wasted to get there. life regen has the advantage of always being "on", even when you move away from shit. life on hit from poachers goes a long way vs groups and is instant, plus 3 "free" frenzy charges

>>
>>155882876
The problem with melee is more relative to boss design than anything, most bosses have attacks that put you at huge disadvantage if you're melee because positioning is harder, Magera can stack firestorms on you, dudes throw out slams or ground aoe centred on themselves etc.

The best solution imo would be for more bosses to have skills that solely targeted ranged peeps, like Dominus "if you are 16 yards from the boss it will use this" etc

Actually, some bosses are easier, not harder, at melee range, because they will default to their basic attack, instead of their more dangerous ones. Some are easier when you're ranged but to say that it's always the case is disingenuous. A few examples:

Na'em: will leap slam/nova spear you if you create distance
Tunneltrap: has Farshot damage
Izaro: will leap slam/back-hand sword reave you if you create distance
The Goddess: will fire barrage you if you create distance
Vaal oversoul: will death laser you if you create distance
Belly of the Beast Piety: circling around her to avoid her death beam is obviously easier at melee range than farther from her
Malachai: will fire barrage you if you create distance
Guardian of the Hydra: unpredictable splitting barrage, easily avoided if you go behind her

For most of those, facetanking them and their default attack/ability or sidestepping the obvious telegraphed ones results in a lot less damage taken than trying to run away and being hit by an off-screen attack. Just picture all the Izaro rips gifs you've seen, has any of those ever happened at melee range?

>>155898468
You can see he's running Grace, and since he's a ranged character, and because he has a Stibnite flask, you might assume that he's an evasion character. Then you see that immortal call procs, so he's probably running a Cast on Damage Taken setup.

I'd have assumed he was running a lightning coil, but if you look at his items he's actually using a Queen of the Forest. He's speced all the way into Phase Acro and is using a pair of Atziri's Steps. He also has gloves that curse with Temp Chains on hit, and his CwDT setup has enfeeble linked into it.
The lack of reliable physical damage mitigation makes it a 2/10 shitcore build.

>>155901153
Pathfinder is the clearly superior choice in a elemental heavy voltaxic/doomfletch build simply because of Veteran Bowyer alone:

Gain 10% of phys damage as random extra damage of a random element: nice extra damage

Damage penetrates 10% resistances: this is huge, and a permanent passive buff. Even with zero flasks up, it's literally a 10% more damage multiplier against enemies with 0 resistances and MORE against anything with resistances. Seriously that notable is fucking retarded.

So it's really simply, you're a phys crit bow, go Deadeye, you're ele crit bow, go Pathfinder.

Evening...

So, i know this isn't reddit, but this post is directed towards most of reddit...

I have released my first build guide in 1.5 years, I wasn't planning on releasing that build guide, ever, but it took me 3 days of convincing to actually post my build

Now, its not an amazing build, its actually quite "dull" in terms of content clearing... but its a build that is, in my opinion, fun and a positive step to what Theorycrafters do in this community, create and discover.

I posted on reddit yesterday, asking if people wanted to see my newly discovered builds, they said it, i complied... Today, i posted my build guide on the forums, then posted it on reddit... it kinda went downhill from there... mostly because, i forgot that this community thrives on 2 things

a) Shitting on anything that isn't OP or content-analfucking
b) See a.

What do you guys want from me? like, really, can you answer that?

I'm seriously confused...

It's come to the point where I no longer feel very welcome to this once welcome community... i sort of seen this coming when 2.0 came out and a huge influx of players came along... but i didn't expect my mentality to be hit this hard until now...

I have made, if i have counted properly, 927 builds for players who have wanted them... i have continuously answered questions from most of those 927 players, others have probably not even played the builds yet.

I honestly, do not know what to do... I love this community, i've been around here for a long ass time, i've made friends, made enemies, made one frenemy... But i just feel like there is so much negativity revolving around the forums...

Look, I'm not complaining about anything in particular, and this thread will probably get ignored, which is fine, i'm mostly using this thread to vent anyway.

I dunno what else to say... I'll stick around for as long as i can, ill keep making builds for those who need it, but, idk, its hostile :/

This has nothing to do with player mistake (tanking an attack that is not meant to be tanked) and everything to do with the ineffectiveness of defenses against actual potential 1HKOs

>Why even give that attack an arbitrary damage roll if it's going to instakill you no matter what defenses you stack?
Answer this. Why give the players the illusion stacking defenses matters, when it doesn't, and the best defense is a decoy totem and not getting hit? That attack should NOT one-shot a 7k life character with 25k armour, at the very least 56% flat physical reduction, and 87% lightning resist IN WHAT WORLD IS THAT CONSIDERED ACCEPTABLE

Vortex on a 5 link work well for me with charges.

No flask, not including EE, curse, nor the Ignite (the majority of the damage is from the Ignite).

I'm about to get my 6th link soon. I did corrupted Rigwald and Double Daresso. Probably get fucked by the Guardians though with my 8.2k ES (I really wish I can get up to 10k somehow with better gear).

Most gems are at L19/Q20 (one or two at L18/Q20).

The thing whose existence and usage signifies the flaws of the game's design.

Use Elemental Focus rather than Controlled Destruction. The ground effect still chills and you don't gimp your crit. Only thing you lose is freeze, but you one-shot packs anyway and most bosses don't give a shit about freeze.

anything between 3.5 and 4k is fine to start mapping

guys i just thought of a great vaal combo

first you trap a boss with vaal glacial hammer, this is also great as a shield against external projectiles

then you use vaal spark to burst it with 54654135446546 projectile bouncing inside the glacial prison

what do you think, will this break the meta?

Hey guys, I haven't played PoE since beta. What's the go to leveling build for new characters? Is it still freezing pulse for casters and face breakers or dual strike for literally anything else?
What should I stock up on for leveling gear? I've noticed that there's been a lot of new uniques. Which ones are worth grabbing to make future characters easy to level?
Is leveling still the same as it used to be? Skip the side areas, avoid anything that isn't core-quest related, and only stop to take down large packs of mobs along the way?
What are the go to leveling areas these days? Do people still grind out at docks?
Are life based builds and melee based builds still a joke? Is CI still as expensive as it used to be? Is low life still broken? Do people still run Spork?
I kind of want to play Explosive Arrow again. Is it still good?

all it does is boost your damage, similar to righteous fire or other shit. The only reason you'd use it is to make up for the lack of damage on a build that focusses on defense; it's not something you build around.

a lot of things work those days, firestorm and lightning trap are popular leveling skills for casters

for melee it's probably cleave into sunder into earthquake

casters: lifesprigs, wanderlust, one elreon ring, wanderlust
melee: limbsplit into wideswing into geofri's into the cauterizer, wanderlust

>Is leveling still the same as it used to be? Skip the side areas, avoid anything that isn't core-quest related, and only stop to take down large packs of mobs along the way?
sure, that has no reason to change

dried lake
docks isn't efficient anymore due to area level scaling

no

it's cheaper than ever, especially in essence

How much better do you think Act 4 would be if more off the bosses had areas like Daresso's?

-2 zones: Cut the mines and belly of the beast down to 1 zone each.
-1 zone: cut one of Kaom's 3 zones
+3 zones: add a single zone for each of the Godless Three, probably just a tweaked version of belly/bowel.
Add a few lines from Kaom and the G3 in their solo zones, similar to what Daresso has in his zones. If she doesn't have them already, give Piety lines regarding each of the G3 when you deliver their respective organ to her.

i'm fine only caring about kaom and daresso as they're major and iconic lore figures

>>155923967
Daresso's dream is my favorite area in the entire game. Excellent layout, amazing music, and I also have a fondness for old gladiatorial aesthetics. Easy to speedrun through if you just wanna fight Daresso. Lasts long enough to satisfy you it but not long enough that you get sick of it.
>>
>>155923967
If I were restructuring the game I would fundamentally change objective encounters in acts to feature mini-bosses that had multiple attack patterns, and did more than go "I'm a fag with cleave and more hitpoints. Don't even try to defy me!" I'd also add more environmental interaction within the zones.

So, uh, don't use it in that very specific situation. 4% life regen will cover the degen 75% of the time, and if you only have less/no regen OR vulnerability, you can keep up with the degen. Hell, you can keep up with the degen at 13% per second by swapping in a saturated life flask; when I play RF, around lvl 50 or so I slot the best sat flask I can use; combined with the regen I already have and 78-79% fire res I can stay safe.

The skill granted; Thorn Shield is an aura that turns your [armor value]/2 into physical damage that will be reflected on hit with attack speed-based cooldown.

I like this. I want to make armor & ES builds for a long time but there's practically no point to ever conceed some ES for the miniscule armor. Thorns is cool. The idea of using CoC for ST is pleasing.

Anon it's like you don't even play the game. There's enough broken bullshit in the game already.

EA std builds with a billion exalts worth of gear kill it faster than temp league bv builds do

so of course it wont be as good in temp leagues, but they can do it

its almost always cheaper than 1500 if you rng gamble

Hi Chris, how many money did you make off RMT today?
>>
>>155931927
I've been looking into it, but it's some weird shader stuff going on rather than textures actually missing. A fix is going in for the enclosed areas that can occur there in it this next patch though.

>>155932240
Yeah if there was actually anything like this, then people in the office would know about it and would not be happy. Plus it would be stupid to give people watching streams a false sense of the game being lucky, since it would turn them away if they weren't when they tried the game.

>>155932759
Yeah, as much as you want this to be a thing, I can assure you it isn't. Call it me shilling or w/e, but I'd be pissed off as fuck if there was something like this happening.
>>
>>155932894
ill just call you naive and/or uninformed
>>
>>155923967
No.
The problem with act 4 is that it is pretty much nothing but boss fights (and 1 grind area) but after a4 came out the bosses were nerfed quite hard to the point where the whole act feels like a joke. Malachai was ridiculous when he first came out, just revert him to that.
>>
>>155933008
I've look at the code, as have the dozens of other people who work through it every day. You're very set in trying to unravel some horrible conspiracy going on, aren't you?
>>
>>155933098
>ridiculous
Yes that's the word for it, it was artificial difficulty.
>>
>>155932759
If this is what you're talking about from LNB:
https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/54b5bs/streamer_rng_57_chaos_only/
Then you're really misinformed/or are one of the morons instigating a witch hunt for no reason.
If I was wearing my tinhat today, I'd go as far to say that you're actually paid by a rival company.
>>
>>155933229

its not a "horrible conspiracy"

but ever since GGG has chosen to use streamers as their main promotional platforms (since the streamer/paid beta league for act 4) its clear a lot is riding on streams being interesting to watch and its natural they take measures to make sure they are

better rng is to be expected, as that streamer just confirmed
>>
>>155933519
>it was artificial difficulty
If a boss being hard is "artificial" difficulty, then what legitimate difficulty does PoE even have?
>>
>>155933614
I take it you don't actually watch the streamers then, and only see highlights in the community? Because I've seen those guys play for hours and get fuck all, not to mention they do it for a living, so have considerably a lot more playtime than average players.
>>
>>155933578
he first said it was strange he couldnt get a 6l with his 500 fuses (which he considered t be ""a lot"")
>>
>>155933845
I've 6 linked in less than 100, and I don't stream. This is fucking stupid.
>>
garbage game
>>
>>155933996

the actual chance on a 20q item is of about 1 in 1500

sure it can happen in less tries, or more. but one should not expect it to take 100 oe 200

if you are used to realiably 6linking on a few hundred so that you start asking for handouts when that doesnt work, something is fishy
>>
do not make another thread
>>
>>155934360
You have 2 options then, you either start streaming, or you start collecting reliable information about streamer's RNG compared with non-streamers, and spreadsheet it (which has been done before btw, and showed no difference).
Otherwise your vague bitching here just shows your incompetence.
>>
>>155934713
your willingness to ignore overwhelming circumstantial evidence shows your bias
>>
>>155931873
Pretty sure that GGG has admitted that they actually do have that feature; they said they use it to kill droprate for suspected bots. The conjecture is that if they can nerf drops for bots, they can buff droprate for streamers or whales.
>>
>>155934950
Yeah, that functionality doesn't affect RNG quite the way that it could be used in a buffing situation though, but I couldn't go into detail about that. But yes, a feature to add a buff would have to exist in the same place as this, and it just isn't the case.
>>
>>155935295
you sound full of shit

>>155934910

If you want to prove something then you have the ability to, you just don't want to put in the work. You're either lazy, or afraid/know you won't find anything.

someone give me a non-meme build that can take me to red maps with little investment.

>>155935295
>They can reduce droprates for specific accounts
>This somehow doesn't mean they can increase droprates for specific accounts.
I'm not making a claim on whether or not they actually buff streamer/whale droprates, but if they have the ability to nerf droprates for specific accounts, then they also have the ability to buff them.

when you see the spaghetti reasoning that the guy who pretends to work for GGG for attention comes up with (>>155935295) i kinda feel bad for being on to them. since they arent doing it out of malice (i think) but just to make the promo material actually appealing
>>
>>155935470
There are people in the office like myself, who play the game, and would be pissed off if there was anything like this happening. We have the ability to check and be sure there isn't, thankfully. That's not to say we don't have trust in others here as well, the payoff for something like this to be happening would be minuscule compared to the reputation the company has for being honest and transparent.

>>155935636
Yeah, obviously there's an ability to - the ability for it to be programmed in as a flag. Many can see the available flags though, and it just isn't one. It really isn't much more simpler than that.

its the most reliable way to accumulate currency as you level

if you know what you are doing, you can average 2-3C per map just from recipe, not counting raw drops or sellable items

Is Ashcaller's ignite chance global? I'm having visions of an emberwake rolling flames fireball build.
>>
>>155937539
>2-3C per map
no unless you alch all the belts and jewelry and you find
>>
>>155937539
averaging 1c per map is better when you run maps at quadruple speed from not filling up your inventory constantly.
>>
>>155937451
I'm making a Templar and I want to either do Vortex or that Crit Spark build. I just can't really decide. Spark seems to require a lot of weak gems like faster projectiles and pierce to make it work. Meanwhile Vortex I'm not sure how to run it. Do I run it just like an Nova and scale AoE or do I focus on the DoT and go for that Ignite Prolif build? Seems kinda overkill for regular mobs though.
>>
>>155937578
>>155937578
>>
>>155937702
its global but youd need lots of rolling flames to make it worth it

>>155937707
low tier essences are basically alchs

you can do id'd and unid recipe concurrently

>>155937781
yeah, most likely.
>>
>>155937702
>rolling flames
It's shit. Treat fireball like you would split arrow. Stack pierce and crit. Once you have 100% pierce on it the clears are pretty sweet.
Even with all of the AoE stacking in the game, relying on the explosion of fireball for damage just doesn't work.
>>
>>155937702
If you're dealing fire damage it'll gain that ignite chance.
