I wish they made melee like attack-move in Dota 2 where you just go and hit the closest thing in range or even just attack the closest thing in the area until it's cleared.

The game has build variety.
Everyone ends up playing the same 4-5 builds.

That's like asking "does human food have build variety or does everyone end up eating the same 4-5 foods?"

>>160891897
give the amount of buffs, nearly everything is viable at low-mid tier maps

if you want to clear the whole game's content, no there only a handful of top tier builds

>>160892234
but the answer to the foods would be no
the answer to poe is yes

>>160892431
I mean, people have killed Shaper with things like Fireball, Lightning Tendrils, Ball Lightning or Viper Strike

>>160892546

>>160892783
I'm being practical. If you want to make a build that just does default attack, you can do that. You could probably clear maps with it, given enough time. But you're fucking retarded to attempt it

>>160892935
>Fireball, Lightning Tendrils, Ball Lightning
Have all AoE capacity and fine map clearing builds.
Swapping a gem for a boss takes half a second.

>Viper Strike
Arguably the shittiest of those I mentioned and can still do work with Melee Splash.

This isn't about some handicap people were intentionally giving themselves for the sake of it, they just chose an unpopular skill and made it work. Thereby proving your assumption that "only a handful of top tier builds" can clear end content wrong.

>>160893285
you don't seem to grasp what i'm saying but instead want to argue semantics
for your sake I hope you're just bored

>>160893636
>to argue semantics
Not really, all of those are Shaper viable and without some tremendous budget that would bruteforce them from being shit tier to suddenly being Shaper viable tier. All of those can clear maps just fine without being gimmicky single target skills only. All of those have proven to beat the single hardest content despite being deemed as shit tier by the "community". So what exactly is your argument?

just because it's killed shaper with a 500ex build doesn't make the skill good, even if it was killed with a 2ex build doesn't even mean the skill is good or the game is balanced

outright comparing something like Blade Vortex to X skill - Fireball, Lightning Tendrils, Ball Lightning it is outclassed in damage and mechanics in every way.

The same goes for shit like Heavy Strike, where it's outclassed by shit like EQ and AW or Flicker Strike when it should be the top tier 1 single-target melee skill in the game with Ancestral Protector. But no it's fucking trash even for it's phys base damage %

>>160893872
>just because it's killed shaper with a 500ex build
Spellcaster builds don't cost 500 ex, sorry. By definition, they peak with LL, a level 21 gem, a level 4 Empower.
>even if it was killed with a 2ex build doesn't even mean the skill is good or the game is balanced
What does that even mean?

>outright comparing something like Blade Vortex to X skill - Fireball, Lightning Tendrils, Ball Lightning it is outclassed in damage and mechanics in every way.
It really doesn't matter how you rank them, and whether BV is still #1 wasn't even the point of contention. The point was that the difference is not so large as you might think, and killing Shaper in 4 minutes instead of 3 minutes doesn't suddenly disqualify a skill/build from not being "end game viable".

>The same goes for shit like Heavy Strike, where it's outclassed by shit like EQ and AW or Flicker Strike when it should be the top tier 1 single-target melee skill in the game with Ancestral Protector. But no it's fucking trash even for it's phys base damage %
Again, this wasn't the argument. Shit skills exist. There are not, only a "handful of top tier builds" at the top, only a handful of builds people are willing to copy.

Only Flameblast is a truly a channeling ability because it's not something you fucking spam. What's the distinction between holding down a button for Scorching Ray and Freezing Pulse or Arc? You'd still stand in place and deal damage.

Meanwhile Flameblast requires you to let go of the key to actually deal damage based on your channeled time. They could just tack on this more damage for duration channeled gimmick onto other skills fucking easily.

>>160894194
in theory you could probably spend a couple mirrors and a few hundred ex on spell dagger and spell shield, plus skyforths. Maybe a mirrored belt or HH too. Also jewelery.

>>160894813
>What's the distinction between holding down a button for Scorching Ray and Freezing Pulse or Arc?
Stacks, we've been over this already. Holding SR for 5 seconds at a time is not the same as holding it 1 second on 5 separate occasions.

>They could just tack on this more damage for duration channeled gimmick onto other skills fucking easily.
They could, and it would change the way you play them. Your point?

>>160894813
Blade Flurry was always a melee ability, but it should have probably lost the tag when it when they gave it crazy range and turned the single hits into AoE.

>>160897865
>Why would you play this game?
If you have to ask, you will never understand

>>160897865
There's a wide range of tastes this game satisfies.

I'm a braindead shitcrow who watches youtube while grinding life-leech "melee" builds, other people like hardcore adrenaline rushes and losing characters/progress, others like racing, others theorycrafting, some loot whores and gambling addicts, armchair chaos orb economists, and so on.

On the gameplay side, pretty graphics, mechanics are pretty tight (except real melee that sucks ass), nice art direction, interesting loot and crafting system and new leagues/mechanics/skills regularly.

>>160897865
at the end of the day, i enjoy grinding greatly, but rpg-type grinding feels too deterministic. Spending hours or days doing the same content over and over again just to watch an xp bar move up Disgaea style seems way too grim for me. On the flipside, the Diablo model of "there's a chance you might get something good right now" appeals because it's not so set in stone. On average I might wind up running the same shit the same amount of time, but I'll have had the carrot of a high tier drop leading me along constantly instead of being told I'll get something good at a certian point that's incredibly far off.

PoE just happens to have the best implementation of that model to my tastes right now. Borderlands feels sluggish, Diablo 2 feels outdated, Diablo 3 is just bad. Various other ARPGs all have some faults that outweigh PoE's faults so I'll stay with this until something better comes around.

Steam creates a back up of the whole game while updating. That means while you only need a 1.5mb patch it just redownloads everything for reasons.

>>160903854
It is the effective damage multiplier of each melee skill when accounting for their secondary effects. AoE skills are better at single target than skills that are expressly "single target"

>Earthquake does 272.5% base damage single target
>Heavy strike does 193.7% base damage single target
> Molten strike with extra projectile enchant does 674% base damage single target

>>160904032
how should I go about generating endurance charges?

>>160904254
Emduring cry?

>>160904194
Molten Strike requires all projectiles overlap though. Possible with increased AoE? If melee is fixed I'll play it, I've always liked it early but namelocking is dicks.

It's amazing that GGG never could see how shitty Heavy Strike was in comparison to these skills though it's disgusting. Heavy Strike should be the #1 single-target skill bar a channeled for over-time though I suppose Earthquake falls off if you consider multiple hits because you need the second effect but even then Earthquake is better more often than not and grants AoE.

Enduring Cry. It's not hard to press a single button once every 10 seconds. The guy even as a unlinked Rallying Cry that wasn't used once so sockets are not an issue. Follow it up with that also never used Decoy Totem for 10% Less damage taken and now you're getting tanky.

so how hard is blade flurry getting dunked on in 2.5

>>160904438
I'm not sure how molten strike functions entirely, there was an old write up on the forums a long time ago from a dev. I believe it functions similar to firestorm, orbs land in an aoe infront of the player but "generally" overlap the origin point of the attack.

It's not a perfect comparison of skills, puncture damage is high but subsequent attacks will be much lower because the DoT doesn't stack and if there is a long delay on EQ you might get more than 1 hit with a single target skill but in the end you're still losing out on a gem slot which further increased the divide.

Finishing Merc is actually harder than most map bosses up to tier 10 I think. For some reason malachai is still stupidly hard.

>>160906304
desu it was from a sextant on springs that I didn't have the sextants to get rid of, I was just yoloing it. it's end of league and the build (resolute technique slayer b flurry) wasn't really as strong as all the assassin blade flurry hype was, and I was kinda disappointed from that. so I was just testing it out on a minotaur map, didn't expect to get lag one shot though.

I certainly didn't have "no mitigation", but obviously I didn't have enough or else that character would still be alive.

>>160906391

>>160906508
>I certainly didn't have "no mitigation", but obviously I didn't have enough or else that character would still be alive.
you had no mitigation at the time of the death is what i meant

could have survived with a basalt and/or endurance charges up, maybe

minotaur is very manageable with a life build, obviously don't start adding damage mods on top

>>160906654
I thought it was pretty managable too until I got one shot by nothing. And I did have fortify up.

I don't understand why people seemingly forgot about LC, the evidence of it is the fact that it dropped so hard in price this league
LC is still really good in terms of physical mitigation

lets say you find a white weapon, with 5 links that you want to use. What is the process to making it gud? Use an essence? use a transmute and reroll with alteration until desireable and use a regal?

>>160904438
All I can tell you is that you could make a silly facetanking build with Molten Strike + LMP + GMP + Life on Hit in Ascendancy.

Back then, it worked well enouhg into red map, anything that didn't kill you in the time your molten strike projectiles needed to land or simply one-shot you with some telegraphed skill could not kill you.

There are many viable builds, some better than others. There are builds/skills are so far above the rest that they become the "meta", like Pathfinder BV and now Blade Flurry(unless it gets nerfed).

>>160891897
Depends on how far you want to go. Since ascendancy most builds can get pretty far, i haven't had trouble with red maps on most of my hipster shit.

If you want to do Shaper and whatever you'll probably be funneled into a higher tier meta build though.

I would like to start this off by saying that this is in no way a post that is meant to talk about softcore vs hardcore in terms of which is better. Everyone plays PoE in their own way, and I totally respect that.

What this post does talk about however, is a middle ground player like myself who plays softcore but with a harcore mentality. What does this mean? It means that when I approach a build I am far more concerned about my character staying alive and having very low deaths, then I am playing glass cannon. Again this is just a playstyle choice.

Medium core players will have more life on tree, and opt for safer builds, also we approach the playstyle a little slower and we are not even afraid to logout just for good mechanical practice.

I'm saying binos is bad cause it has average 250pdps and 1.4 APS, it's not a fast weapon and you kinda want a fast weapon for blade flurry and to go faster with shield charge and whirl (even tho for whirl only local IAS matters, not APS), and the high crit chance is good but not really needed nowadays that it's easier to scale crit, specially any assassin build should not really need binos.
The thing is once binos get popular it will probably be considerably more expensive than a regular 250-300pdps dagger, and people will pay more for something that is not worth it, people will just buy it because it's popular

It's more about fixing how BV interacts with hits/crits than nerfing everything by a fair amount.
They need to gut Vinktar's leech though.

>>160924125
>you can use anything. whatever works best.
certainly not ice nova in red maps, ball lightning map works better as a curse delivery skill since you want to be close to your carry for you know, SUPPORTING him with auras while also being able to curse from a distance, it's also much better vs bosses that don't aggro until you get into range

basically you have to just keep playing to get a better understanding of the game so you can comprehend what's going on, but for now try to get a +1 fire gem scepter by using the vendor recipe(ruby ring + alteration orb + magic scepter) and that should you get you through normal difficulty at least

>We can't reveal the details of many of these changes just yet but we're making small tweaks to a few systems, like melee weapon range and Essences. We'll be announcing them over the next two weeks leading up to the release of Content Update 2.5.0.

Will there be any major passive tree changes for the next league?

>We don't have any major changes planned for the passive tree in 2.5.0, but it's very likely that we will for the 3.0.0 expansion that comes after it.

Unless I'm reading too much into the first one, there probably won't be anything significant other than the gutting of PF/BV

there is ZERO reason to go BM when prism guardian exists and +2 to auras is pretty fucking important when you're a support

it cripples your own survivability by forcing you to use retarded itemization like elreon rings and it cripples 3 of your auras effectiveness

you're the prime example of a retard RMTing low-life gear with basically zero understanding of how to build a character competently

back to copying streamer builds, moron

>>160926576
more like no damage as your damage is gated by 0.5 around

>>160926520
a non-bm guardian runs the same auras, gets an additional 3k ES (and gives 3k ES to your CI inquis carry, which is 99% of ladder) just for being a guardian, and doesn't struggle to cast a spell on mana

The argument is whether you want to take the BM KEYSTONE and lose all your mana pool for no reason or oh, use this +2 auras BM shield that bumps your purities by another 2% max res?

blasphemy is NOT shit

coh > blasphemy

why reserve mana when you can simply cast a spell

you can't keep up with 99% of the ladder during maps if you stop to cast your coh spell

no mana > having mana

why bother giving your carry extra es when you can simply be a dead weight retard tri cursing with ice nova

9x grand spectrum = 1215 mana = ~5k max mana = 2625 ES

you really have to ask you'reself if it's worth the massive investment(it isn't)

>>160930048
those builds are proven to work well in endgame HC so i don't know what you're on about

>>160930160
ED's optimal 6L is 4G2B which is not going to be easy to roll on an ES chest

just something to keep in mind, it's not going to be cheap if you go the CI route

alternatively you could use a 6L bow for easy coloring but then you lose your shield which can mean something like 2-3k ES end game

>>160930468
You're arguing with someone who thinks faster start of energy shield recharge is bad for SRS.

>>160930468
everyone else:
"here's my tree, can you guys review it or help me optimize gear?"

you:
"here's my tree, it's 100% optimal, also i'm better than you so fuck off with your advice, retard"

you're just cancer, put a bullet through your head already

>plateau ice nova 1 shot me

oh well

>>160930645
no, the point has always been that faster ES recharge is not that good unless you're occultist, but if you're going to go occultist SRS just to make full use of it then your build is even worse

>>160930160
Ci

Shoot for life first, then Ci

It's really not that expensive at first, the cost just ramps up more than everything else

>>160930645
Except Soul Strike's defining feature is pretty much useless on a Necromancer which is the only non-retarded ascendancy pick for SRS. It just happens to be the only quiver giving you ES. Correlation, causation, etc. Stop being retarded.

Just because you saw a streamer go +2 bow + Soul Strike doesn't mean it going to be much better than a regular staff build. All you gain is Blink Arrow and +100 ES, if that's worth losing 10 ex worth of chromes, be my guest. But justify it with "I'm a faggot and budget is not a concern to me", not "But didn't you know faster ES recharge is really good?!?"

>>160931760
I thought the reason people went bows was because getting +3 with Essences was pants on head easy on bows, but way harder on staves.

with soulstrike + essence surge it only takes like half a second for your ES to start recharing and then another 1-2 seconds for it to refill

if you're getting hit more than 3-4 times a second as SRS then LITERALLY L2P

>>160932468
Not really, if anything a +3 staff is "easily" self-crafted from the ground up with an ilvl 55 staff, while a +2 fire essence bow is going to require some RNG and L8 Catarina to upgrade to +3

>>160932558
Pretty hilarious coming from a shitter who buys his way into endgame, Vaal Discipline exists which unlike Soul Strike recharge is going to save you in the scenarios that matter, period, so you're essentially overpaying for +100 ES you could get elsewhere and a weapon that can't roll cast speed or mana regen, GG

>>160933397
How do you get a +3 staff more easily? There's no way just rolling the dice for it is more likely than the guaranteed 3 ex craft for it. Staves have a buttload of prefixes you'd be taking the chance on, whereas bows it costs exactly 1 essence (maybe 2 or 3 if you get screwed on full affixes) which is like 5c, then exactly 1 ex for Cat's craft, then exactly 1 ex for +1 to round it out. Mission accomplished. Add another ex to buy a 6L base.

>>160933659
If you want to wait for people to get L8 Cata, pay them the crafting cost + fee, then waste 10 ex chromes coloring your crude bow, sure. Technically you get a +3 easier that way. Never mind at that point everyone is way ahead of you in the league and you just barely get your +3.

>>160934272
Chalice of Horrors.
Thousand Teeth Teemo.
Chernobog's Tower.
There are so many options.

>>160934265
There's a 120 ES difference between a staff build and a bow build and Soul Strike. The cost attached to getting SIX (6) off-colors on the bow could easily be spent upgrading any piece of es gear on your staff build by 120 ES.

>>160934324
Straight up Scarlet Round Shield is the best of them.

remember to empty your balls before the start of the league, so you don't have sexual urges holding you back from reaching the top of the ladder

what if my build only requires one hand to play

>>160937916
i prefer to edge for the weeks leading up then right as the league begins blow my huge bloody mess and black out for the first few hours while they fix all the server crashing

>>160938151
use the other hand to hold your hot pocket

nice general poetards

4 offcolour is pretty easy. It's when you need 5 that things get tricky. 4 only takes a few hundred chromes.

Yes; a DoT spell on a totem doesn't benefit very much from most auras, and Mortal Conviction just about tips the scale. Would maybe still use Haste in an Essence Worm if I found myself way over the resist cap.
