Scion is the best starting position to go all over the damn map and its starting node options are the only way to efficiently acquire the 3 jewel sockets in her area.

I aim to use a lot of end charges for life regen+life leech+armor to survive along with fortify and axes.

Also, are the elemental resistance nodes worth it or not? it feels like base elemental resistance is useful.

Certainly going to be better than some shit 8k ES bow build you can muster, with a quiver slot you essentially forego

I think I may need to make up some trees to compare offensive capabilities of each, but even 7.5k ES sounds better than 5k life if it means I can have more flasks to utilize pathfinder as much as possible. I'm having a difficult time deciding to be honest.

simple enough, enfeeble synergizes very well with evasion

having an avoidance layer works very well with ES: you're hit rarely, and when you do get hit you have a good buffer to tank it, a buffer that recharges quickly if you evade hits for <2 seconds

>>158685091
Having a defensive layer that only accounts for attack damage is not a good thing.

Like put a bunch of Sextants in the tight cluster around Arachnid Tomb.

>>158686061
I always wanted mods to influence both players and mobs to create tactical gameplay opportunities.
But then for some reason GGG added it as an additional layer.

>>158685238
>it's balanced because only i can have it
But I don't have it. Builds' power should generally be proportional to their costs. Half the reason CI is so broken this league is because essences made ES gear so cheap.

>>158685395
>1000c+ for jewels alone isn't that expensive
In terms of cost to strength it's pretty bad, because cheaper builds can already do all the content. Why spend the 15ex on jewels alone when you could get an entire shaper-ready build for the same price?

You could never maintain red maps.
You still can't maintain red maps unless you buy them, which isn't maintaining even if you got the currency from the map to buy one.

How to fix maps:
>Bosses have a guaranteed map of same map Tier as the one it is in if you are running the requirements for bonus completion
>This doesn't apply to Guardians
>With a chance of extra below-level map(s)
>Guaranteed +0 map has a small chance of being +1 that is amplified with Atlas completion
>Unique Maps are not gated by their base variant and can drop normally
>Untainted Paradise is now a part of the Atlas and completing a Zana Daily of it qualifies as completion
>Apex of Sacrifice and Alluring Abyss are now on the Atlas
>Pale Court is now on the Atlas
>Uber Labyrinth is now on the Atlas
>Uber Lair of the Wolven King is now on the Atlas
The Atlas is a map of the worlds open to those with the tools to open doors between worlds, it is illogical to not include everything except the main reality that is Normal, Cruel, and Merciless.

>still waiting a Grim Dawn general

>>158673565
When you look at it, pathing would probably be more efficient if Scion line grabbed Witch, Shadow, Ranger, and Duelist Jewels with a Templar Restart for Marauder and Templar plus pathing between With/Temp and Mara/Duel.

>>158693170
Let me know when they get an xpac that adds necro, until then, not interested

>>158693315
A Mod added necro.

>>158693294
from any starting point it takes you at least 5 nodes to get onto the 'jewel highway' and the largest path you could cut out is only 4 nodes.

the restart would only be beneficial for something like marauder so you could take starting health nodes and from that point maybe move on to the jewel highway.

Is there some sort of Brutus racing strategy I don't know or something? I keep getting buttfucked by him in the pussy even with all armour/evasion drops equipped and a large life flask. When the skeltals come down the archers just blow me up. Are you supposed to drag him to a corner or something?

>>158695612
Decoy totem

>>158695612
what class?
you can cheese him with a decoy and srs at level 4 without taking a single hit

alternatively 200 life, some evasion and a large flask should be enough to facetank him, not sure what you're doing wrong

>>158695653
What about non-strength-side characters?

>>158695809
I was trying Shadow. And I can sort of tank him, but if I get unlucky with evades I can still die, especially if I try to facetank it all. I haven't died the last few tries, but even if it's only a 1/10 chance that's still pretty fucked if you're gambling the race on it.

>>158696037
it depends on your rng (e.g. if you find a portal scroll on the way, it's acceptable to use it during the fight to refill flasks)

a large flask allows you to not "waste" 10-20 seconds kiting around with ftrap+spark but realistically speaking it matters very little in 1h races

practice your merveil kill time, not your brutus kill time lol

>>158696694
I'm practicing the entire thing. But you work on the bits you have trouble with more.

Plus Merveil is just the first 20-25 minutes anyway.

*leans into the mic*
WRONG

Tonight, we die.
Finally.

why does my spell damage only go up ~7% (dps) after i gain 30% increased spell damage from passive points?

A night may come when the autism of poetards fails, when we forsake our anons and break all bonds of fellowship. But it is not this night. An hour of wolves and broken captchas when the age of 4chan comes crashing down! But it is not this night! This night we shitpost! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you stand! Retards of Wraeclast!

>>158699661
Because all your *increased* damage stacks additively.

If you have +25% increased spell damage and cast a spell dealing 100 base damage you will do 125 damage. But then i fyou also add 25% increased FIRE damage as well you will deal 25% PLUS 25% additional damage, for 150 damage total. Which means your EFFECTIVE increase of damage from 25% increased fire damage added on is actuall only 20% *more* damage.

This is distinct from damage modifiers which state *more* damage. Which all stack multiplicatively, instead of additively.

first of all, poe requires very little mechanical skill, it's a semi-casual hack n slash where 95% of the gameplay is plowing through hordes of harmless trash

second, as far as "skill" is involved, racefags are the most skilled because they are able to be efficient within a time constraint and apply real time decision making to work, objectively a more skilled endeavor than holding right click on a 500 ex build to destroy end game

Normal players are very good Normal players.
They have very interesting Normal boss encounters!

>>158705071
>not having your ISP on speed dial

so the trickster gets 500 free energy shield. why isn't incandescent heart and ci being used with a trickster build?

>>158705173
>shaper is literally an anti block fight
Not completely, it's mostly just the laser (move out of the way) and the bubbles (don't shit up the middle of the arena with them).
As far as I know, the 4 sets of balls thing is blockable, and the mobs that he summons don't do enough damage to be a problem either way.

>>158705441
trickster darkscorn + incandescent heart for 25% FREE damage mitigation

make it happen

>>158705441
Cause Incandescent Heart sucks.

>>158705530
the point is all your investment into block could have gone into dps instead and dps is the limiting factor for most builds in the fight, not whether they can block balls or not

>>158705173
never got hit with the slam
laser beam was a bitch tho

>>158705603
it does suck, but 500 free energy shield from trickster could compensate for the only 230 es on it

>>158705819
Yes, but why bother when Elemental damage is so easy to mitigate?
A Rare/Coil is far better.

>>158705441

>>158705441
Trickster gets 250 flat ES, not 500. Are you serious? Incandescent Heart could potentially work, but you're putting extra effort and trading EHP for mitigation, which goes against the idea of getting the highest ES possible as CI to play a sponge build.

GGG is so fucking incompetent at balancing. Not only that but they put off updates for content and balancing while somehow nerfing Chieftain but letting PF exist. What the fuck?

>>158706723
If you use both IncHeart and Darkscorn on a CI build, you mitigate all damage you take, meaning a ES pool 75% of the size of a non incscorn CI build is equal (and you get better value from leech, to boot).

So the question is, can you get 25% more ES from your chest compared to the 200 ES on IH (assume you want two 5/6Ls anyway and wouldn't have a shield anyway).

>>158708531
if you don't have a shield, a 200ES chest vs. a 900ES chest is no contest

>>158708531
Considering a decent vaal regalia can go up to like 900 es and a decent shield can go up to 500-600 es, pushing the difference to 700+400-500, the answer is a resounding yes

They should change Elementalist's Ascendancy to include more damage besides that Pendulum thing.

Like how do they not have something like +2 to Elemental Spell gems, that'd be sick as fuck.

>>158708668
>>158708704
If you have a 400 ES hat, 200 gloves, 150 boots, 200 from discipline, and 100 from soul strike, you'd have around 1300 base ES with IH, and around 2k base ES with a 900 regalia, for 50% more es.

I think IH could be useful for a budget build, though. If you could only afford a 500 ES chest, the mitigation you'd get from ih + darkscorm could be tankier.

>>158709306
Absolutely retarded

>>158709328
how much mitigation is IH + darkscorn?

>>158709306

your fluted bascinet is on too tight, reddit

>>158709503
With CI it's 25% less damage taken. 7500 ES is equivalent to 10k ES.
>>158709618
That's my point. An IH costs basically nothing, as would darkscorn, and they'll provide more mitigation than similarly cheap 500 ES chest would.

>>158709306
>>158709452
>>158709505
>>158709752
Pretty sure most skills that's just about 20~% more damage. Gems mostly increase a set percentage per level. Having a level 30 gem is still only going to be about 20% more damage than having a level 28 gem.

Is a 20% more damage ascendancy notable node overpowered?

>>158710564
Fucking Berserker has 40% more and Slayer has 20% more if killed recently. Would make sense for Elementalist to have + gem level.

>>158710447
how much does a soulstrike cost

how much does a 300ES shield cost

>>158710447
>With CI it's 25% less damage taken. 7500 ES is equivalent to 10k ES.
With an average 450% ES multiplier, you'd only need 2500/5.5 = 450 flat ES to put the regular CI setup on top, and you're not gimping your damage/resists with a chest that offers nothing and a bow that offers no damage, plus are you really going to self-link either your bow or chest when there's a readily availble 6L vaal regalia divination card set in game?

>>158710564
>Is a 20% more damage ascendancy notable node overpowered?

yes

>>158710564
>level 21 Flameblast +8 levels is 29 with 509-763 base damage
Compared to a 27 (max potential for a generic Pizzablaster currently) at 432-649.
That's a roughly 17.6% More Modifier.
Before your % Increased and all Less and other More mods.
That much % More with no downsides or downtime is overpowered.
Berserker has a huge drawback.
Slayer is only up if you've killed recently.
Killing recently means a number of bosses and tough Rares won't be impacted by that % More mod.

>>158711201
Are you seriously implying Elementalist is even 2nd or 3rd most powerful in the game right now?

The only thing it has going is reduced reflect and proliferation.

Its damage will always be subpar compared to Crit Inquisitor or Assassin and not only that but Pendulum and Mastermind are so fucking unreliably shit compared to piercing resistances or just pure critical damage. Only if you don't go Crit is Elementalist probably better. But at that point you've probably picked a more defensive Ascendancy like Trickster or Occultist.

>of each

Life and ES? sounds like crock and a waste of points.

>>158711506
elementalist offers the some of the most immediate raw power of all ascendancies and is definitely top 3-4 yeah

inquisitor is only as good as however high the resistances are, against bosses in unique maps which have like 40 res, having more than 40% pen puts her above inquisitor by far

for example

25% from mastermind of discord
37% from a gem
3% from tree
=25% more pen than inquisitor from a support

shaper of desolation is still stupidly strong, perhaps even more now that it's a constant passive, meaning it works extremely well with spells like flameblast because you get a guaranteed shock+ignite for a high payload every 12 seconds or so

regardless, you're comparing strong ascendancies with other strong ascendancies and asking one to get buffed, never mind that dumpster ascendancies like scion or raider are apparently completely fine balance wise according to you

>>158711996
No. Tri is not viable.

>>158711201
Scion needs a complete rework. Instead of giving her a bunch of really watered down versions of half the notables of the class she takes, they should give her a single unique notable that provides something relevant to the class as a whole. For example, Ascendant Trickster could have "% chance for ES recharge to start when you evade (or dodge?)". Ascendant Juggernaut could have "% of armor applies to elemental damage."

Alternatively, they could scrap the "jack of all trades" bullshit, scrap the current setup entirely, and make Scion the queen of charges and/or stat-whoring. Give her her own class with a focus on gaining charges and unique effects per charge, or a class that pumps stats and gets new mechanics based on base stats.

>>158711623
I think raider gets a bad rap because pathfinder is so OP it can do everything raider can do plus a billion other things. Raider can get elemental status immunity from a single quartz or silver flask with the phasing line, but flaskfinder can turn vinktar flask into a status immune flask and get bleed immune to boot. Raider can go fass with a bunch of frenzy charges, but flaskfinder can go even faster with an overbuffed QS of adrenaline.

>>158712564
sure and it's perhaps single handedly the most powerful support you can get on an elemental spell when you're trying to penetrate a boss with 40% resistances

orb of storms + EE is an immediate -75% fire resistance for flameblast builds with mastermind of discord, still sounds weak to you?

if I were to a make a shaper build, I'd go elementalist, not inquisitor

>>158712371
The point of Inquisitor is that you can drop the need for a penetration gem for another more modifier or something as beneficial onto your links though. Also Inquisitor has a much better source of cast speed and spell damage from Instruments of Virtue. Not only that but the travel nodes to Inevitable Judgement give Elemental Damage AND Critical Multiplier for crazy damage just from a travel point.

I'm talking about Elementalist because I pretty much made two characters - one Crit Inquis and one Crit Elementalist and the Crit Inquis outshines it in every way besides not running reflect.

>>158712371
mastermind of discord and shaper are stupidly strong, definitely a top 3 ascendancy. agreed.

>>158712434

>>158712637
the problem you risk running is that the watered down scion ascendancies are so vague that they could help or work for almost any build and they are all equally bad so it almost doesnt matter which you choose

with really unique good ascendancies for scion you can run into the other problem where none of the ascendancies really helps your build even though they are all so good...

Depends on what you define as top tier. You can take pretty much every build to tier 10 maps, most of them maybe even up to the guardians that are behind a big fuck you immunity + dps wall.
Essence Drain can reliably do all the game content but isn't played much because the average poe player is overburdened when he has to press more than 1 button to kill packs.

If more than 10% of players are playing your build then you're a meme

I just want reflect to go away

or better yet, instead of limiting actual countermeasures to reflect to only two ascendancies fucking add reflect defense nodes to the god damn tree
>>158723162
no I went for assassin so I wouldn't have to travel across the entire tree to scale my rigwald's, and it also lets me skip on a few crit nodes in favor of life and leech

>add reflect defense nodes to the god damn tree
seriously why hasn't this been done yet

>working out self cast discharge build
>charge generation is "on kill"
>remember a ton of bosses have no adds, or don't summon them till later ie izaro
>Basically dependent on a one shot to beat a boss

Well, this is shit

Adding mostly mandatory nodes to counteract a fundamentally bad game mechanic.

Seems like crit shield charge just isn't meant to be my man.

>>158724361
Just do an ignite build out of Elementalist and skip the four-titted Queen.

>tfw GGG ruins your first crit based build
At least facebreaker builds can mostly be turned into anything else.

Does claw block chance apply to unarmed with rigwald's?

I don't even know why people are going crit facebreakers to begin with. Facebreakers already have a ton of damage at very little cost without crit

because they are shitcrows and there is never too much damage

If you were hard you would do your crit Shield Charge builds using Doryani's Fist.

Hello poetards I haven't played this game in 1 year, is EK still good? thanks

Wonder what new league will be. Essence was ok though it mostly just made me some extra money. Abyssal cry is a rather fun skill, berserker may be my favorite ascendancy now. How was your essence experience lads

>>158724283
and a shit ton of life, armor and leech isn't mandatory just to survive reflect?
