The difference here is that your arm will lay in between so its locked giving you only wrist motion and your hand won't be so elevated like in what you posted so it seems a little more conformable

>We are reducing the Decay damage from Essence of Delirium. This will be retroactive, as it will affect all instances of Decay.
Not if I use it now motherfucker

this league wont be nearly as good as essence
and that is considering essence on its own was pretty shit "alch v2" ez babby mode

tell me why should anyone even bother with this league
no tree changes
probably only some minor nerfs to vinktar/bv and useless melee "shift to target enemies in arc instead of straight ahead of you" quality of life impovement.
no gameplay changing league mechanic, same "more loot" shit

it will feature all the same builds:
ed+contagion: check
flameblast variations: check
EQ:Check
LA, Exp. A: Check
Ignite vortex: Check
BV if it doesnt change: Check

Also now featuring scorching ray totem on every build that does fire damage in any form, waow

BF will be the only new skill worth trying out, so enjoy running #951589 BF Assassin/Slayer/PF which will take 70% share of all the played builds, as GGG wont gut their only marketable skill they just released

What links for blade flurry for a voidheart resolute technique slayer?

Crit seems the way to go but this is the build that I wanted to try. So far I got BF - Faster Attacks - Inc Aoe/Conc Effect - Melee Physical Damage - Added Chaos Damage.

I'm unsure about the 6th link, I was using melee damage at full life because I have constant leech, but after using Blood Rage my health is constantly flickering at full so I'm pretty sure melee damage at full life would be useless.

>Essence of Woe now gives slightly lower values of flat energy shield, % increased energy shield, and spell damage on the higher level brackets of the essence.

>>160784148
thats what im doing

but i'm starting to think that minion atk speed > damage for dominating blow in which case i may reroll soultaker

>>160783234
Are you bottom-left on the tree or do you go towards shadow? You're probably not getting many stats that actually double dip if you don't go towards shadow, so I question even going Voidheart and poison. EQ gets away with it because of the duration tag.

I went Hatred and Herald of Ash on my RT blade flurry character. Clears quickly and costs pretty much nothing.

>>160784062
>i need to be told by a popular streamer that crit is the way to go for BF

does it use daggers?
is it a lesser melee skill?
then go crit, like, it's basic rpg

if so post build

>>160784551
no i just switched over to this build last night

i can run t10 maps if the boss is favorable otherwise it's a no go

perhaps some kind of max block comk SRS build with it. could go necromancer and use bone offering with mistress of sacrifice

i'm not sure how you'd actually kill shit though. reckoning would be a good idea.

probably would struggle in t10+ just like all melee builds because ggg can't into balance

>>160787112

unless they literally halve the damage or something, it's still going to be better than poison, moreover the power of the mod goes beyond the damage but also the fact it applies a DoT for ten seconds

I'm pretty sure I won't be able to beat them with my gear, but I really want to try. Since I have to buy the maps, I have to decide with which I want to start

hydra

>>160787404
EQ/AW Jugg

>>160787298
They're going to cut it by at least half because no fun allowed. And it doesn't stack like poison does. Decay is going to be stun and block recovery tier suffix after ggg guts it.

Try Hydra

>>160787582
Assuming worst-case scenario and Decay really gets hit by a 50% or more nerf, would you even go for it anymore on ED? If not, what weapon does the build get instead? Would ED even still be viable?

>>160789208
Consuming Dark

wtf are orbs of augmentation used for?

the only thing i can think of is if you find a 6link blue or some shit and want to make it a little better?

>>160788945
>10c minimum for a crystal belt
>deafening essences go for 6c minimum

How bad do you think the price will skyrocket once the spawnrate is nerfed in Breach?

>>160789208
consuming dark + shield probably. It doesn't change much. ED was fine in Prophecy without decay, it'll be fine in Breach.

>>160789208
No other options? You still can keep Consuming Dark in the offhand.

>>160789360
Price on random essences won't go up too much. Spites will probably be 10-20c for a deafening. There's no t1 or t2 drops anymore to dilute the pool as much, so more spites will drop proportionally.

At the end of the day, it's still technically better for WI builds to have int on the belt, but damn it feels shitty to be more or less forced into it.

What's the best plan for blade flurry?
I had my Size Doesn't Matter double striker and just swapped the skill in, holy damn it melts monsters way faster.

>>160794001
GGG tried to make swords and claws less shit in general, and daggers less shit for actual melee builds.

The best plan for it is to just use it to do whatever you want becaseu it will probably remain broken as fuck for the upcoming league.

>>160794001
The Goddess Unleashed

>>160794001
Dual Scaeva or Scourge for maximum meme value.

Otherwise just run a Bino's and a Brightbeak or something.

Will the chain effect of Touch of Anguish apply to a skillgem I activate with cast while channeling work?

>>160794972
It applies to all of your skills while at max frenzy charges, so yes.

>>160794001
Bino's + Death's hand on a crit assassin. Upgrade to a better pdps dagger, ideally with chaos prefix when you're rolling in dosh.

Diablo II sucks by modern standards. It'll always have a place in my heart, but it's not really worth playing anymore - Most games from that era aren't worth partaking in for more than novelty value, exceptions being mostly games with excellent narrative, or gameplay which doesn't rely on outdated technology which was good at the time but is extremely clunky now.

>>160795968
I'm willing to bet you can vendor almost every gem in that tab

>>160795861
D2 is just a contest of who can bot and hack hardest. The game has long since been cracked wide open and playing legit is a fools game these days.

>>160782130
You realize we don't have 2.5 notes yet?

I want GGG to completely fuck the tree just for something new, literally just switch the starting position of all characters marauder > shadow etc.

Instead we'll get basically no changes. When the only new content is an op skill and a couple lackluster ones and a few uniques it feels boring.

>>160796950
no, aloha is the computer system we use to clock in, do orders, pay and whatever else

>>160798287

ES doesn't need a nerf. Life just needs a buff

>>160800294
While you are correct, GGG likes to keep people below what's needed to survive at high end without extreme investment.
Thus, in reality, Life needs a Buff, but in GGG, ES needs a Nerf to more correctly match where Life is.

did they show the challenge MTX yet?

>>160800000

>>160800438
Or they could just balance the game so that less bursty bullshit happens so you don't have to rely that heavily on your defenses and still have a fairly large chance of getting oneshot when the stars align

>balancing the game so you don't need to invest as much in defense
Literally never.

>>160801683
I wouldn't mind if they upped the baseline damage by 100% if they got the burst down to a minimum.

>>160801752
I agree, sustained moderately more heavy damage, armor that actually did something, and more worthwhile defensive options would be a vast improvement.
But.. It's not gonna happen.

Where did you get the idea that they try to fix shit with breach?

>>160807935
Melee fixed - they've already mentioned that.
Life buff to actually compete with ES
Armour and Evasion reworked to actually be viable.
A lot of skill gems rebalanced mechanically or damage-wise if need be.

Skill tree nodes rebalanced to reflect life/ES changes as well as Ascendancy changes to incredibly shit ones like Ascendant, Raider and even some minor changes to stuff like Chieftain.

0.5% health regen on a travel node really? Meanwhile other classes can get 8% increased ES or Inquisitor gets 10% Ele and 15% Crit

GGG ever after like 2.0 they just decided to let balance go its own way. Actually balance wise the game has only kept regressing ever since they changed life scaling (from +8 per level to +12 per level) and nerfed and removed a lot of life nodes, forcing practically every life build to go to the scion wheel. At this point in late game ES builds already had advantage. Then they added a ton of extra shit to buff ES builds including raw ES on ascendancies. Why don't you get any health from any ascendancy?

Ascendancy still remains a pretty big mistake imo. Made the game way too easy. And before that not nerfing skills like vaal spark or incinerate fast was also pretty stupid from GGG. They nerfed skills in the past that were doing much, much less than that lmao.

>>160825886
Eh still pretty low. It was less than 1% who defeated colosseum daresso and core malachai in 2.0 and 2.1.

I'm fully aware of build limitations.
In hindsight I know I made a poor choice with my first character, out of stubbornness I stuck with it for way too long before repurposing the character, which worked kinda alright.

did you even read EO description

Thank you for the help, If I go EO Is it worth getting the 2 extra power charge nodes and trying to build power charges up during a fight?

>>160829383
NO you don't fucking pick power charges if you go EO what did I just say???

there's 2 options;
crit: power charges and crit scaling
non-crit EO: and ele damage scaling

you don't need power charges to proc EO, something like orb of storms will do just fine

>>160829489
Thanks

>>160828924
poeurl.com/Q1f

without going into too much details, i dropped all the _totally_ unnecessary nodes you picked and replaced them with more useful jewel sockets and shit

with that tree you'd end up at lv ~79-80, with room to make changes to your damage, possible mana problem, cast speed or ES

only if you have a unique that uses them, otherwise only use power charges if you need them

if you use EO, you'll better proc that with orb of storms, in which case EE gives you free -50% to fire res on mobs

basically you should always cast orb of storms on every pack anyway so it would be dumb to leave out such a huge dmg increase

>>160830256
Thanks for the advice

Scion ascendancy, elementalist(golem buff, fire, double "increased damage") and trickster(increased damage and regen when killing shit with dot and stuff). I played this build, it's funny.

How much aoe can I build upon blasphemy? Was thinking about doing a screen wide temporal chains/enfeeble support build.

convince me to go Trickster instead of Occultist on ED next league.

you are much better off with something like this

>>160831173

>>160831173
No idea, really.

Do curses that you cast as auras profit from their own incr AoE, or do they just use that from Blasphemy?

You can probably cover enough of the screen by adding incr AoE and a few AoE nodes, though.

asenarth's gentle touch gloves apply temp chains on hit, meaning you can take temp chains out of that 6L and put in faster projectiles for even more speed or put it on your chest and do away with weapon swap

i've tried many many many curse setups, and ball lightning+fast projectiles with GMP+extra projectiles or LMP is by far the best

if you are scaling cold damage, freezing pulse may be better which you can drop faster projectiles from and instead focus on reducing cast time

if you're physical damage, split arrow tornado shot with 100% pierce or GMP/CHAIN shrapnel shot are somewhat viable

I'm with you. I still hope to one day reach lvl 100 in a temp league, but the grind is now absolutely ridiculous for anything besides fullest clear speed meta build. Even with tier 1 you'll have to grind 18 hours a day for two weeks straight. The current EXP rates are literally only for the 0.0000001% and everybody else gets fucked and ironically even they don't care about competing for the ladder anymore.

the proc rate was reverted to 100% but the issue is you still proc no-damage discharges at an abysmal rate

that's only the damage part though, the unrelenting+kingsguard interaction works at 25% now and thus you lose the survivability that you previously had as a jugg, making it hard to justify the build over say, a cospri assassin which scales damage better, is tankier with VP, much faster and doesn't require +300 stat somehwere to even equip their weapon

Please GGG don't hold back. Go back to nerfing the meta into the ground, so every league feels fresh.

remember when you would just Nerf skills by 50% if half the league used them. Do that again.

Its time for Blade Vortex to get dumpstered, rebuff in a later league. 1 year of BV meta is taking its toll.

examples of meta nerfs: Shotgunning FP, Spark,Vspark,Vmolten shell,Arc,Bladefall,CoC,CoDt. all these skills had have been reworked in a major sense because they where too strong and dominated the league at somepoint.

i've used radeon my entire life and i've never had a major issue. my old 5850 running WoW on ultra for 3 straight years, then poe for another 4 straight years. it still works too. the first pc i ever built had an AMD gpu and that's almost 20 years old and STILL works. now i have a 390x in this pc and it can handle anything i want to play without problems

meanwhile nvidia cards are literally exploding and have tons of driver issues

>>160838718
As an old player, Poe still retains its difficulty and complexity. It's great to leave for a year and come back home to a game with more uniques, passives, and qol optimizations.

Keep it up! And don't make Poe easier.

>>160839017

Sure, ED is fine, I've farmed Uber lab for the past 2 leagues with an EDer

What do you mean? uber lab chest drops bypass your atlas progression, so you could find a bunch of t13s as pictured, which is great returns for what is essentially a t8 you complete in 10 minutes, and even better the fresher a league is

Are Bleed and Poison required on physical builds?
Maybe it's just coincidence, but pretty much all the good/recommended phys. builds I've looked at utilize both of them. Is raw, physical burst just not a thing in this game?
