i would use poesmoother to disable monster physics' animations

pathing is an embarrassment

2-point jewel sockets should never be skipped

prioritizing ele damage nodes over physical ones is retarded unless you go for full conversion and even then you're skipping efficient clusters

3 points for 1 power charge (50% crit / 3) is never worth it

stop making builds before you get the proper 2.6 tree

Looks like an intended nerf to those necro/guardian auracucks, summoners should remain fairly untouched seeing as they tend to have their minions nearby and recall them constantly with Convocation

Also why are you not counting Charisma (12->20% AoE)?

>>169655349

They literally buffed it beyond fucking reason. It's way fucking better unless you had over 100 increased AoE, and even then it's about the same.

With that it barely hits 60 radius. You have to keep AW/SRS on screen now vs letting them go wherever.

But summoners also need auras, and they need the aura aoes to be big especially when there's really no realistic way of keeping SRSes in aura range.

I think that's factored in. If you put the gem level to 1 curse the radius gets smaller.

Firestorm inquisitor as well

With Blasphemy nerfed, is it now ethical to go tri curse since you have to hug everything?

Anyone else barely ever used Blasphemy? Always thought a CwDT-CoH setup was more useful desu because it actually applies curses over a duration rather than just affect monsters who pop near you

>>169656563
I really hope they nerf inquisitor. I hate that it's the only option for any elemental spell.

>>169656624
It is still within melee splash range! You see melee splash got buffed.

>>169656679
Elementalist is still fine if you go EE/EO/2+ curses. The issue is that if you don't get at least 70 ele pen you do no damage (so you have to waste a gem on ele pen and get some more from somewhere).

I am going to go max cheese and play tri-bladefall totem scion with a rime gaze gimmick. My life build in HC is doomed but i'll give it my best. Breach was my first league but it's been wonderful.
I am curious to know what people's league start builds are as well as what people play in HC.

So breach finally ended and stuff are now in standard. My currency stash(es) are full as shit now, even when I converted everything to a higher value

I'm really considering it but I want to be able to buy 2 items with 200 points.

I've never bought enhanced stash tabs as I consider them unethical

>>169657290
The currency tab is the single most efficient tab you can possibly get.

If their values have been tweaked, they're nothing to fear at all.
Only thing you really need to know is that Rigwald will be based on the level of the level 3 Talismans you put up at a Stone Circle, lowest ilvl he'll spawn as, irrelevant of Talisman ilvl is 60 and scales up as high as the Talismans.
Talisman Ilvl is an average of the 5 you put in.
Enjoy all the shit Talismans and 1 in 5 chance Uniques.

Who the fuck wants to run 100 uber labs? Both guardians and atziri are enjoyable to farm

Basic Atziri isn't difficult.
Uber Lab, tho
>Needs to be a day without a shitty layout
>Needs to be a day without shitty Izaro mods so you can maximize key payout at the same time

Consider the following : Pale court kills may also count the initial encounter at the final prophecy

Atziri is very easy to self sustain tho. It's actually always worth it.

>>169661675
possibly, that'd still be 50 full runs
well I guess that makes those reaches a little more common

>>169661675
I would think it would

can i get a quick rundown of talisman? I skipped that league.

what is the strategy with upgrading and all that? the wiki is worthless

what irks me is that there's no way to prove you completed those challenges in ssfhc

that would be the ultimate badge of autism

way it is, people will opt out and buy all the challenges

>>169661675
You would then still have to do those prophecies, rather than buy the keys, like most court runners do.
Also the drops are worse than atziri, with 2/4 drops being worth nothing and one being close to break even.

> 100 regular Atziri's

That shit burns you out so fast. Also going to cost you quite a bit of currency just getting 100 atziri maps, and the market will be flooded with regular atziri items due to it which makes selling your uniques quite hard. Luckily everyone's using that unique flask so its sellable but the other stuff is much harder to sell.

Breachlords are fun.
Uber Lab on a good day is fun.
Atziri is fun.
Then the last one is just Talismans since I'll be pounding those out anyway for the Rig DW Uniques.

>>169660781
>>169662684
Also Rigwald takes you 125 talismans to just summon.

Yep 125 talisman drops. You first get 5 t1 talisman's and make it into a t2. Then you need 5 t2 to make it a t3. Then finally you need 5 t3's to go to Rigwald.

It's not about Rigwald being hard, any build can do him in his max level zone it's about the amount of talismans required to just get to him. In Talisman league itself I only went to Rigwald 6 times and I played a crapload of that league.

The thing is though you need 40 t16 maps. Which is a huge chore. Especially since barely anyone sells it in hardcore.

With Shaper best bet for doing that in hardcore is just dumping currency on softcore and buy it like I did last league.

what's the odds of getting 40/40 ssf assuming you play 20 hours a day

it doesn't even look physically possible even with extremely good rng

Hardest one is definitely the last one for solo self found. You need to get all goddess offerings yourself for Izaro x 100, maybe a bit more if you need to panic log a few times. You need to get 40 t16 maps. You need to get 100 Atziri sets. You need to get to the pale council 100 times.

You only need to do 2 out of those 4 pains for SSF. But they are quite a pain.

The other one that's probably really annoying for SSF is getting t11-15 maps vaal'd with 8 map mods.

On standard at least Phoenix map is 20c.

That's like 10ex for 40. I know league economies are different but seriously just buy the maps then the challenge is "run 40 maps" which shouldn't be too bad. Kill shaper yourself and you're already 1/10th of the way there.

Also 100 Atziri isn't bad at all.

Putting past league challenges was a very good idea, actually was expected, but sometimes you do not do what we hope.

What I look when u post the new challenges?

Challenges with the theme of the new league - We have 15.

Challenges for noobs to know the game - They have 19.

Difficult challenges - Me and others few guys that always get 40/40 we have only fucking 3.

The most important is...there's a big potential for this league, dont fuck us...how?

With few loot rate of crystal coins for the endgame grinds 'kill a member of pale council 0/400'.

Few loot rate of talisman for the endgame grinds 'Kill Rigwald, the Wolven King', remember GGG 5 different talisman tier 1 to get one tier 2, to face Rigwald we need 125 different talisman on the process, we both know that is a big shit, so many talisman will be repeated.

Few loot rate of breach splinters for the endgame grinds 'Kill any Breachlord', now u GGG want 4 endgame grinds.

In the last but the most important is, dont fuck us with few loot rate of leaguestones...we will need a lot to get 40/40.

Let me finish 40/40 in SSF HC league, please, its not hard for you, dont let the things be impossible, HC trade works + - 45 days in new leagues, I'll spend this time in SSF HC for fun, if u fuck with us, I will need use the trade system of standard legacy league, this is not fun, believe me.

Thanks, I will never love u GGG, but I love this game, dont fuck us!

The issue with evasion is it doesn't protect against spells, especially spells that deal physical damage like that Arachnid nest boss.

So what you need to make sure you max spelldodge too.

Phase acro gives 30. Amulet gives 10. Boots give 16. Chest gives 10. Flask gives 10. And you're capped.

Also if you stack spell block and spell dodge that's when things really kick in.

You go from a 1 in 4 chance of being effected by a spell to a 1 in 16 chance.

Fucking wrong. Stop being a blind sheep.
There are plenty of tools out there to make evasion work.

>>169668321
Which of those tools stops beartrap from fucking your asshole?

You guys think pyre is going to still be usable to double dip stupid shit like vortex traps.

>>169668603
So long as double dipping exists it will be worth it for vortex, even if you have to use Cold to Fire

the fact that all bear traps in the game barely deal 2k damage

>>169668603
It's probably going down to 70% conversion, since there's not much else to balance. I seriously hope they aren't lowering CotBs conversion, since it's already at 50% and they'll just lower the other stats.

So once i get vorici to level 6 basically i map enough every day to get 7 different 6 socket shits. Vendor them then trade vorici for 20 fusings.

With this method after 75 days I'll have enough fusings for a 6 link.

Then on day 76 I kill myself.

it doesn't make a difference if you rely on evasion or armour, you will still get one shot if you are a life based character

the problem is that the mitigation tools we have are not good enough to deal with the massive burst damage that can be outpot by some mobs and bosses

the game is built around these one shots, ggg have said this time and again, and you will at one point or another have to log out

so the only way to get around these one shots is to go ci and have a life pool large enough to survive these one shots

this an untenable position

how can ggg resolve this?

it's a tough question that will have to be answered by them soon enough

maybe in 3.0

talents, notables, or gems that prevent one shots, sort of like what immortal call does for physical damage maybe?

i don't know

So rare crazy mobs are going to be back.
