Hardcucks attack softcore posters because they feel gypped out gameplay options.

They tried to conform to a play-style they don't really enjoy only because they needed to fit in with the presumed "poeg" crowd, and when they realize there was an alternative, they need to validate their unfun gaming experience by attacking said alternative ways to play this game

The main draws this game is meant to have goes hand in hand with juggling risk and reward, but a hardcuck player wants reward with no risk: and that is why depth, flexibility and sandbox-like playstyle of options in softcore are what the hardcucks resents the most; since he/she has corralled xhimself into a narrow set of builds / play-styles because the alternative would be risk losing his char. So the hardcuck and likely IRL transgender player erroneously believes that Hardcore mode is about minimizing risk, instead of being about the added challenge, which is why xhe constantly cheats, automates gameplay and resorts to "meta" risk-reducing procedures like closing the client or logging out.

And of course, by "hardcuck" i only mean the hardcore player who shitposts here about softcorers, yet never reaches endgame xhimself. There are many true hardcore players who have a good laugh at the game and take the challenge like they should while not a giving a shit what others do for fun.

I end this essay with pic related, which is the face a hardcuck makes when their risk-minimization tactics finally fail and they are forced to reroll.

hardcore is an interesting experience , it can be really tense and is a huge part of the fun and excitement. but ripping to some retarded shit is really gay. races are the perfect hardcore experience imo. few hours invested, you know you are going to eventually get wrecked so it's no big deal,and you are pushing hard because it's a race. the last hardcore character i played finished map /remaining was 0 had my inventory open id'ing some shitter items and the the 'resurrect in town' popped up.. was an ed character and was leeching thru a bleed didn't even realize i was bleeding and died when the ed buff wore off, didn't even fucking realize it, rerolled softcore because i was so fucking salty

The nice thing about them is if you run a screen away from them, when they snapback to you there is almost no lag between that and them attacking whatever is in front/behind you, so everything pretty much just dies and you only have to run back for loot.

SRS feels like shit now imo. Something felt really wrong with the damage when I leveled it, and ended up dying to cruel izaro. Never had that happen before.

neither. you deal 20-30% increased damage.

>>162971656
>Sounds like fun. Is the build itself relatively cheap? Been looking for something to afk through maps with.

Two most expensive parts is The Anima Stone and Primordial Might. After that I stack 5 harmonies and 1 eminence. The first two are floating around 3ex. It might be cheaper to buy 2 mights and make an Anima yourself. I jewed down people to get both for 5ex total and you probably can too since it's not a wildly popular build.

After that it's just regular hyrbid or ES gear. A +1 chest helps. I'm doing a skin of the loyal until I can afford better.
>>
>>162971656
No, it costs like 8-10ex.

I've been tracking my map returns and keeping accurate logs since Talisman. I routinely complete over 10k tiers per league.

GGG has been buffing the drop rates silently for fucking years, famalam, and if you're still complaining about the rates there is something deeply wrong with the way you're building a pool or rolling mods.

There is literally nothing wrong with the balance of life/ES right now. Life just isn't viable for the T1 clearspeed meta, because you don't have the time to check rares for Volatiles. Literally not a single person who's complaining about the balance has ever even played a T1 build to top 10 ladder.

Another 2 HP per level would add approx 5-600 HP to most builds at endgame, which would put life in a very comfortable, competitive spot against ES.

evasion is great. try some different builds and not just parrot whatever nonsense you read on reddit, ES was always the underdog, there has been no mechanical changes to it at all and now that people are starting to run it more it needs to be nerfed? or life needs to be buffed? just because armor isn't as popular as it used to be doesn't mean shit.

Very easy to be immortal with a life build though. Just look at the build Alkaizer played this league, only a very long lagg spike could kill him and that's what killed him.

Daily reminder that frostblade breaches will oneshot you if you are life based and one of the following:

>cyclone
>warchief totems
>any life based totems
>evasion
>armor based

They ignore both evasion and armor, they deal up to 9k dmg per second and those breaches immediately spawn 20+ breach mobs. Totem builds have no leech or regen so they die the fastest
>>
>>162982663
>Literally just died to one of these

Almost 6k hp and get frozen and obliterated. Literally no idea what i'm meant to do

>>162982663
why wouldn't they one shot you as energy shield?
>>
>>162982910
>>162982908
needs around ~10k ES to survive long enough to either log or get out of the breach.
>>
>>162982908
Same and it was only a T4 with no damage mods. I just instantly died as soon as I opened the breach. 6k life and cyclone.

>>162981907

You guys were right it was my ethernet driver which was outdated (new build). Updated it.

I now have around 16 ms but it spikes constantly to 30 ms. Though it's playable and stable like this, still annoying. Is it normal that it's curving like this? It occurs every 6-7 or so seconds that it goes to 30-35 ms and it seems to be occuring every second while in a breach.

You literally will not notice 16ms to 30ms in PoE. You have other problems.

>>162982965
the problem with posts like
>>162982663
is that they are just saying 'hey i don't know how any of these game mechanics work so all this stuff i like needs to be buffed'

armor and evasion are not going to help much, you could have 10k like and 80000 armor, it's not going to help against elemental damage , because it is elemental damage. just like have capped fire res won't help you against cold damage.

Monsters don't use different skills, Frost Blades is Frost Blades, 50% damage conversion to cold means 50% damage left to mitigate with armour

they do, but we have nothing to calculate here, we don't know what their base dmg is , so we can't really figure out what their cold dmg is. the problem is the frost not the blade, the cold damage is whats wrecking people. either way energy shield isn't the answer. energy shield is just life, thats all it is. there isn't some magic mechanic that makes it super over powered, it just uses your energy shield as your life pool, because you are sacrificing armor and evasion you naturally stack more es. the real problem is that the game is becoming more focused on elemental damage so the benefits of armor seem to be lacking

>and a lot of mana to substain
Actually, due to the channeling nature of the skill, sustaining it is easier than most other skills since you can use Elreon rings and shave off a proportionaly large % of the skill's mana cost since you spend mana per channel rather than per cast.
>you can now use flameblast totem, they channel perfectly
Yeah, with -30% less cast speed inherent to spell totem.
>>
>>162985646
well they cast it painfully slow even with 120%+ cast speed. against bosses and such it still works pretty good but if you're getting rushed (breaches) you can get overwhelmed before they get a blast off

Threadly reminder:

Life Based builds are not Viable

Melee skills ARE NOT VIABLE. Not a single one of them, none, neither of them.
Earthquake is not melee. Bladeflurry is absolutely not melee.

ONLY CI is currently viable past t5 maps. Any life build WILL get oneshot by volatile, phys projectile mobs, breaches. here is no way in the game currently available to prevent this. Nothing.

Not a single life based build except MoM+Perfect Form+bladeflurry+dreamfeather builds can do breach bosses.And this build is even better with CI instead of trashy garbage life.

Not a single melee build can do breach bosses, uber atziri, shaper.

of course you can still die.

But that dude with 14-15k es? he survived a shitload of 8-10k dmg spikes that you randomly get in red maps.

life builds do not. Thats why they shape strand and only do that map until level 100, look what alkaizer did. he never fought hard bosses, never did hard maps because he knew he would rip with his 9k life

The main advantage is you can take advantage of league mechanics before they're nerfed. Like how breaches dropped maps originally so if you hit maps early you were gonna get stacked with maps but if you arrived late you get fucked. This happens every league

on softcore, get a 650ish es chest for a few chaos, gloves boots, you can get gg boots for cheap if they don't have MS on them, 30%ms jacks the price up. 300es helm and shield. if you are not using the eye of chayula then get an ammy with flat es and es% at least 10% es.
rings whatever res you are missing , es / cast/attack/ all added bonus.
bases should be vaal regalia , sorcerer boots/gloves hubris helm, shield whatever works for you , BiS is usually titanium spirit , and run discipline , if you feel low and you are around the witch clusters grad the mind barrier cluster for 40% es from shield

So typically I'm incredibly unlucky in temp leagues and can usually only scrape up a couple exalts for my builds, so I always choose poorfag builds.

This league I've gotten a bit lucky and have gotten about 10ex I can spend on my build before I hit red maps.

I'm playing essence drain, and was planning on going ci, but now I'm wondering if I should just reroll another build and spend all my currency on that? ED feels fine but gets really tedious. Any recommendations on what I should do?

Does temporal chain effect the degen on vortex?
As far as I understood temp chains makes debuffs last longer on enemies while they still do their damage per second just for a longer duration. But vortex is a ground effect that does damage per second. Or is it a ground effect that gives all enemies staying on it a degen so temporal chains would work on it?

So how do you even build CI? Are there any guides?

yeah ed is boring, it's a great skill but something is missing, it's such a slow cast. lots you can do for 10ex, skys the limit really. ci is cheap as fuck so you shouldn't have any problems gearing a ci character. really depends on what you feel like playing, if you find ed boring you could go melee or pseudo melee like blade flurry, if you skip the meme claws you can do a blade flurry build for a few ex.

unless you have the worst rng of all time it is better to buy fusings and like it yourself, it takes most people less than 800 fusings to 6link. if you are going for a 6link you should make sure it's an ilvl84 regalia, that why worst case scenario you could just sell it and at least break even

With a single cow you can get ample meat to feed an entire village for a week easily, at any time of the year, while it would need an entire field of broccoli to do just the same and you can just eat them during the months following the harvest so you can't count on it as a reliable food source in time of needs ( which literally happens every years in northern countries with winters)

It's some kind of science/magic that comes from the Beast.
And no thaumaturgists are more lore like scientists or thaumarturgy experts.

Malachai and his students Shavronne/Doedre/Maligaro were thaumaturgist, Doryani was Atziri's thaumaturgist.

Kadavrus the unique necromancer in The Fetid Pool is also a thaumaturgist i think (or was) he's from Umbra like Shavronne.

I think thaumarturgy looks like the warp/chaos in W40K, it can be really powerfull and usefull but it can be also really dangerous.

Of course people want to go faster, but it seems like it's the only metric used now to gauge a build's effectiveness. Even "budget builds" are considered shit if they can't clear fast enough.

I've seen some builds that were pretty good with excellent survivability, but are considered terrible because clear speeds aren't fast enough.

Stop using generalizations if you want to be taken seriously. And even if you were right, stop giving a shit what people do or play. Jesus Christ, are you 15? If you want to play a tanky non-glass cannon build, what's stopping you? Can you stop for one second being a little faggot and do your own research instead of complaining you can't play the way you want because what others THINK is optimal from a having fun perspective?
>>
>>163009070
then play those builds? if you want to clear slowly and be safe do that, if you want to go balls to the wall do that.
>>
>>163009249
Slayer's leech is really powerful and so is the extra AoE. Reflect is not really a selling point here, Gladiator's 75% block ceiling is essentially a 75% reflect reduction, much better than Slayer's.

Champion doesn't have that much of a damage reduction advantage for melee. Getting Fortify is trivial, the class is unironically more suited for ranged playstyle that typically can't get Fortify at all.

You can get near max block/sblock with dw Gladiator. Bleeding acts as a damage catalyst here rather than a damage source itself, and Gratuitous Violence has obvious synergy with BF.

Basically it's a toss-up between Slayer/Gladiator, not Slayer/Champion, if you were remotely smart and played more than 2 hours in Breach that is.

Is this the go-to cyclone build? Im coming back to the game after 3 years and am trying to find an ez noob build. I just got a puppy and I work full time so I just want something that is simple and dosent require much effort to play.

>>
>>163011401
I don't know about "go-to" builds but RT Cyclone is as generic as it gets, you can hardly fuck that up, follow up any guide and the tree is very likely to end up being very similar. 2h axes are the best and have the best cheap unique options (Kaom's Primacy, Hezmana, etc.) for your cheap casual ass although random swords work just fine for leveling too. Mace Cyclone is not really a thing, the slow base attack speed really hurts Cyclone which thrives on attack and movement speed.
>>
>>163009693
So with Slayer's leech, how viable would it be to throw a melee damage on full life support gem on BF?
>>
>>163011401
cyclone builds are super simple

2h axe is your best bet, some cool uniques were added and they're all pretty cheap. Cyclone as a whole is effective, cheap and simple to play.
>>
>>163011843
never a viable option, it's a CI support gem, Blood Rage nullifies the effect of melee damage on full life (regening 40% life while degening 4% still puts you at 99.999% life), and skipping BR on a life build is idiotic

>>
>>163012549
Slayer feels just better for Cyclone really, you get 20% Culling Strike, AoE and a bunch of leech, stun immunity inherent to Cyclone, bleed immunity and a bunch of other stuff I forgot

Marauder ascendancies aren't that impressive for Cyclone, Berserker for damage or Juggernaut for end charges and movement speed are both good. I'd pick Juggernaut if you just want a brainless build, Unstoppable lets you ignore slowing map mods like chilled ground or Temp Chains which ends up being a huge chaos saving boon
>>
>>163012549
Duelist is usually the go-to, but I actually play a berserker cyclone build.

You want to go Crave into Aspect into Pain Reaver. Also, be sure to bring an ancestral protector totem, they put out a shitload of damage even if you don't spec into totems and it's pretty handy when you have to kite bosses around effects and stuff.

>>163015493
It depends on the skill and whether you're bleeding/poisoning/igniting, but the usual way is to take your average damage per hit, multiply it by attack speed and then factor in things like penetration, conc if it's one of those skills like fireball/arctic breath where it doesn't show the effect on the tooltip but actually does boost the damage, etc.

Anyone got some tanky, tempest shield marauder build going?

It seems like most shield build's damage comes from heavy strike + splash support ?

Also, was thinking about some poison/bleed character, is crit dagger shadows the best for this? or is it wiser to use a bow for this sort of thing?

It seems we have a new crop of newfaggots that need some education on board culture:

1. We're closed to shitbirds (sc players).
2. We're extremely xenophobic
3. We are an homogeneous elite HC society.
4. We hate all of your /b/ degeneracy: animeposting, catposting, redditposting, etc.
5. You'll never be able to integrate into a society of elite HC players when you're a redditor or a forumbabby
6. Your race (redditors and forumbabbies) has lower IQ than ours.
7. If you don't know our board culture and memes, and will be seen as barbarians for that and shunned.
8. We are extremely skilled players and most likely you won't be able to compete or cooperate with us.
9. All our game knowledge and technology is for our people and our people only.
10. We don't want to ruin ourselves with your degenerate ways.


Thank you for your time. Have a good day.

not even that guy but you guys sound buttblasted

1) 6L isn't anything special in this day and age, most people get it within the first week of a new league and it's to be expected by the time you face content like Chayula (t13 unique difficulty) i.e. he's not bragging about teabagging regular Atziri with a 6L
2) Acuity isn't anything special in this day and age, it's a nice power boost but not build defining and it's not like VP is 50 points away from Duelist should you want to spec into it without the gloves

but yeah, better keep crying that 15k ES CI is needed when a life build proves you wrong

yes, but you need a lot more effort because otherwise damage would be too lacking. so varunastra back in 2.2 or a really good foil with BF in 2.5 would do the trick but outside of those two your options are quite limited.

Really? I consider myself to be pretty casual and I got a 6L by like day 5. Celestial Justicar cards are 15c a piece in BHC right now, meaning you can get a 6L Astral plate for 3ex. People tend to forget life is cheap to gear, this amount would barely cover half the cost of a white 6L vaal regalia.

for life based builds, it's literally just a matter of waiting 4 or 5 days for people to run lab and get the corrupted chest or use the corrupting tempest prophecy for the price of 6L corrupted chests to get down to like 40c for good colorings.

Builds gravitate towards the center of the tree for the Scion ES and life wheel, literally no one paths to the evasion wheel, only through. 2/3 is better than 1/3, genius, let's not make the worst class in the game even worse by giving her a useless armour wheel, have you ever tried leveling a Scion before?

Quill Rain is garbage for everything except Explosive Arrow, for which it is BiS, but Explosive Arrow runs off of some very quirky mechanics that as a new player I doubt you will be wanting to delve into it.

It's fine as a levelling weapon, but that 50% Less damage means that it will never be anything more than that.

120% phys damage + 20% attack speed and you can just use the masters bench to add the flat damage.

only if you can maintain great clearspeed or if you are a party culler

clearspeed is the best boost to MF you can get so you either make a build with good clearspeed and a little MF to compliment it or you just dont mess with MF at all

is it possible to "home brew" a build and have it not be poo?

It seems like any build not made by a russian min/maxer is inherently dog shit?

Like I want to a staff templar and do like sunder or some shit. Now, that will be dog shit for certain but why?

the most efficient way to make $ at l51 is to reach l70 asap and run dried lake and/or maps

1. yes. many people play like that

2. any build that is not min/maxed will be shit. if you cant min max be prepared for that

3. not for certain. only if you dont do it right. look up hegemony-based builds (a crit staff) so get ideas of what you are gonna need to do
>>
>>163042907
Figured. Might as well ask while I'm at it, is there a recommended way to level up efficiently besides normal progression through the difficulties?
>>
>>163042723
Because we're at a point in the game where there are min/maxed perfect synergy tripple dipping builds. Your staff sunder shitter isn't necesarily terrible, but it will be compared to a min/maxed spreadsheet build. So either stop comparing yourself to those min maxed builds or copy them. Eventually you'll be able to min max the shit out of your own build, but it's going to take a while.
>>
>>163043097
no

just advance as fast as you can and find yourself underleveled (relative to the areas you are in) by 2 or more levels grind a little whereever to catch up
>>
>>163043097
No.

Well I guess; don't spend time clearing everything or doing shitty packs, skip rares and uniques that take longer than a second or two to kill. If you are underleveled farm good leveling areas (ledge/docks/dried lake).
>>
>>163043172

the issue is that I don't even know whats out there. So many skill gems but only a couple are good. For example, glacial hammer. One of the most awful abilities in the game. How would anyone know this UNLESS someone told them? Like what at first glance would prove its awful.

I know its awful but I only know its awful because someone told me its awful.

>>163043373
Thats why you need to learn, you can't magically gain this knowledge and there is no poe 101 course that will teach you these random things.

There are generally two ways to do it, either you try to build your own builds and you'll be shit for a long, long time. Or you follow guides and you'll be shit for a long, long time.

Personally, whenever I play a game I tend to immerse myself in it because I want to know everything about it. I read forum posts, watch streams and videos and start off with following guides because I know these people know much more than I do and it will give me a jumpstart. I don't like having to reinvent the wheel, but once I'm confident I start crafting my own builds. Just try to pay attention WHY people choose certain things and try to really understand what is going on instead of just copying every facet of their build.

Can anyone with Primordial Might tell me what exactly the golems are aggressive thing does? There is like zero solid information on what it does on the internet other than "they attack more". How much more? Do they track to enemies better? Do they lose their AI to run away when you move and come back to you? Do they run to mobs without being told? Do they block enemies from reaching you if one breaks through your summons? I would really like to know why this jewel is worth fucking 3ex aside from faggyD making his build the golemancer.

What are certain weapons good for?

Like why would I use a two handed sword over a two handed axe or mace? I am a newer player and I am just trying to figure out what damn build I want to do. Nothing makes sense though and everything seems like shit except that blade flurry or flame blast move according to what everyone is saying.
>>
>>163047914
Unless you want to get to the actual endgame, literally any skill or weapon type is viable.
>>
How much hp/armor is acceptable for a domain run?
>>
>>163047914
can have to do with implicit, weapon range, base crit chance and sometimes what bonus you can get from weapon specific nodes on the passive tree. most gems are also limited to types of weapons
>>
>>163047914
>Nothing makes sense though and everything seems like shit

this is normal


there isnt much difference to what 2h do until you build can take advantage of their implicits or specialty clusters. 2h swords generally favour crit, maces have stun shit, axes nothing but generally do good attack speeds, staves have implicit block and also roll caster stuff
