>A "Coalburner" is a white girl who is spoiled rotten and rebels against her wealthy or middle class parents for some imagined affront sometime in their short lives. This rebellion manifests itself in the form of fucking any sloppy pussy-ass fake gangbanger nigger they can get their nasty dick-skinners on. Also see "Mud-Duck" punishing parents by giving them 4 grandchildren from 4 sperm donors with cream-colored skin, red afros, big lips and flat noses.Also see dumb bitch riding in the passenger seat of her own car , pumping the gas and paying for it. Also see treated like shit by any white man who could have ever been an equal co-habitating partner and possible non-financial sponge, not because he's a racist but because only someone with absolutely no self respect would confine themselves to random sexual partners of a different race who's self- imposed disenfranchisement and liberal suborned laziness only furthers their own deep self-loathing and constant rape of the english language. example- see the names of coalburners offspring, stupid-ass names made up by people unable to spell real names correctly, ie. "spell it like it sounds", Shawon (shawn), laqueesha (?????).

Why are people going apeshit over this? Charges are finally doing what you expect from their thematic alignment, power charges are for spellcasters and frenzy charges are for attackers. This was the case for the longest time until spellcasters started to abuse reworked frenzies for a free damage multiplier and double-dipping shenanigans. Sounds like you're a bunch of pussies whining your DDing poison build won't work anymore and you might actually need to start thinking now.

So elementalist is actually one of the worst ascendancies now right?

It's fucking easy to leech as Champion now since they are changing most of the leech node in Duelist to Attack damage. You get more leech than even Slayer. Ignite is fucking saved by FS
>>
>>184076982
doing some quick math.

since the game never rounds up, you need to deal.. 8.3 repeating% of a bosses health in one hit to get the minimum of 5% chill.

getting 100% chill effect brings that down to 4.16 repeating% of boss life. for a 5% chill.

and this has to be PURE cold.

>These changes make it easier for build that focus on bonuses against enemies that are Shocked or Chilled to use those effects against high-life enemies, particularly bosses.

no it fucking doesn't, now no one will be able to apply chill against bosses. bosses should not take 20 hits to kill.

Shame that there's very VERY little increased Chill effect in the game or Increased Shock effect. And they probably didn't add any. Which means if you try to "specialize" in it, you end up doing shit clear damage AND even worse Boss damage on top of not chilling or shocking said bosses.

Why not? All those "% chance to chill" nodes on the tree and items no longer make sense since chill is no longer a static debuff, so it's likely they're replaced with "% increased chill effectiveness"

It's quite similar to how stun works now, and you don't see people complaining about stun being a % life-based mechanic rather than "I throw a d20 and if I hit 15+ I stun you!"

This is probably the worst change to POE in its entire history. For over 6 years the charge system was completely fine with all 3 charge types working for every build in some sort of way.

And now for absolutely NO FUCKING REASON they decide that frenzy charges should be useless for casters and power charges should be useless for attack builds. There is literally no fucking sense in this change.

Like you said assassin is now a worthless class. Trickster with its new swift killer keystone is a complete joke because only one charge type will work for whatever build you choose to play on him. And for the other 17 classes you either pick 0 charge types or at most 1 charge type if your ascendancy generates it by default (raider etc).

And the worst thing about this is every single mechanic that used to be applicable to either build type is now restricted which only serves to ruin build diversity even more.

Assassin's mark? Caster only
Poacher's mark? Attack only
Any of the tens of uniques that generate charges? Now half as useful.

There is really nothing positive I can think of about this or anything else that's come out of the GGG camp in the last 2 weeks. At this point I'm sceptical that they can even coherently explain the reasons for these changes in a way that makes sense.

Slayer is great because they are stun and bleed inmune. They also only have 20% increase damage on their tree, even with onslaught and cull it is abysmal. Champ get 140% increase damage and fortify. They also remove ailment on lowlife, which you dont have if you dont take fervour. Champ is just safer to play.

>>184081352
The best part:
>The 2 new Lightning Skills they teased, to actually shock an enemy needs to either Crit or pop off from any Shock chance you invested into (Lol)
>Both of them also deal a bunch of hits that deal damage instead of one big hit

>>184081659
I honestly think the ailment change would be fine IF the number balancing was right. 50% of HP to inflict a full shock/chill is stupid, you won't need the ailment if you're doing that much damage. Maybe 25% for max effect without ailment scaling, assuming I'm not way off with player damage vs boss HP.

The charge change is a cute idea, but ultimately fucks up everything. Like, fuck, they have a new unique chest for trap builds that only gives frenzy charges for pete's sake.

No, they get 20% _more_ damage on their tree, a free gem slot which is at least another 35%+ more damage, and then you have to account for the, what, 50% or so increased damage off the minor nodes? Not including attack speed?

Champions get 140% but its additive, not multiplicative, meaning its only good and not stupid fucking busted.

>A purely Lightning hit which removes 50% of an enemy's life will increase the damage that enemy takes by 50% for 4 seconds, scaling linearly down to 0% at no Lightning damage dealt. Shock is still only applied by critical strikes or based on your chance to shock.

So 25% of life is 25% increased lightning damage taken, 10% is 10%, etc. Meaning that against bosses you will be dealing at most 10% increased damage with shock if you have some ridiculous glass cannon build. Riiiight.

So shock is shit now huh. Well then.

Because taking +10% fire and physical damage is bad enough and you don't want to make it 20%? And the 7th link you get off impact radius pretty much makes up for the other 40% damage?

Vitality void still exists too so its not like you're hurting for leech. And how does champion help you survive nuking if both have 100% fortify uptime by using your movement skill? Champion doesn't even have "increased effect of fortify" nodes.

If the max damage for full chill/shock was 25%, that means 100% increased Ailment effect/chill/shock effect would reduce that to 12.5% life for max effect.
That means you'd need to do at least 2 and some change percent damage of an enemy's HP to have any effect (5% slow) with Chill and at least 1.25% for a 5% increased damage taken modifier on a Shocked enemy. Those values are extremely unlikely to be broken by most skills except for ones that hit very hard with a single big hit, like Flameblast + 3 Dragons. But if you're Flameblast, you're better off scaling the main hit than fucking with 3 Dragons and ailments in 3.0. Of course, those numbers are HALF of what you currently would need. Shock and Chill are objectively useless now outside of ground effects.

Lmfao at people crying over charges
Muh build diversity
Muh niche unique

Meanwhile every league there is about three builds people run only after their favorite streamer steals it from someone who can actually create a good build

The problem with the build diversity is not changes to the game it's the sheep mentality of this shit community always thinking the same thing and pigeonholing themselves every league

I couldn't agree more with the charge changes, diversity was killing this game and I am happy that GGG has finally decided to streamline this toxic system which everyone was abusing and they simply couldn't go around balancing the enormous mechanics player discovered. It's better to make charges more thematically aligned so you can select from a few options that GGG has laid for you. A good example of this in practice is Diablo 3

When will you cuck niggers learn that the only way they can make the game more hard is by nerfing everything back down to a managable level.

With shit like this possible: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwXgySWHZWA

there simply isn't any difficulty left to be added. It doesn't matter that the gear being used is expensive, the fact that it's possible at all warrants these nerfs.

you can make the game harder without making it so only a select few builds function or having contradictory design (Frenzy charges on a wand when they grant no damage to spells)

if the game is going to continue to reduce what you can use with what im just going to go play D3. Part of the appeal of PoE has always been "do what you want with tons of options" and now its "do what you want, NO NOT THAT, NOT THAT EITHER, NO NO NO YOU CAN'T DO THAT"

Inb4 GGG shill but, most people couldn't stop screeching about how 2.0 was the beginning of the casualisation of the game but wasn't it then that Frenzy charges got their 4% MORE damage? So doesn't this nerf bring it back to more normal levels?

Im fine with the charge changes, they make some kind of sense. The Freeze/Shock changes basically do nothing but reduce boss damage slightly, Vinktars still has 10% and Vaal Lightning Trap still does 20%, nobody gave a shit about any other shock.

But the one thing that doesnt make sense is this node in the tree, you can make an argument for attack based traps, but who the fuck even uses those anymore?

>>184088143
Tulfall seems somewhat counter-productive if stacking power charges gets you more damage. Ice bite, as useless as it likely still is, is now only really useable with Glacial Hammer, Ice Shot, and Frostblades. Trap builds, unique or no, since there's a node cluster that gives frenzy charges.

The big problem is the change is poorly thought out and was just kind of thrown in a week from release. If they took time to make sure all the other shit still functioned normally, it wouldn't be a big deal. Add X% increased/more trap damage on the chest and the trap node, for instance.

The Spell has no Mana cost and being a Chaos spell on a Life build, there are few Auras that'd directly benefit our setup. At most one Purity which would also only reserve 18% Life and not impact our DPS negatively at all and would be dropped when resists are capped through gear.
>>
>>184089267
You would ideally be using a +3 staff and Kaoms heart with this build, so that base damage is going to go a bit higher. Youre looking at 270-405 with 176% more on a level 23 gem.

10K health is more than reasonable, with using perfect current life rolls on gear and no strength I was able to go up to 11K HP. With the addition of hybrid life mods and the fact that you dont need mods like attack speed or flat damage gearing will be easy as hell. Im expecting it to top out around 13-14K health by level 100 with the best possible gear.

>>184089383
That and you wont really be needing auras, so BM is an easy 35% health. Im sure a non BM version would work fine too, but I see no real downside to picking it up with what we know about the skill.

The thing is I'm 100% serious. Crying and demanding changes is what a shitter does. Adapt or fuck off is a very good motto to live by.

In any case, it's clear those nerfs need further adjustments down the road to iron out the consequences that will result from the changes. The beta would have been a good time to really test this, but the problem is people refuse to participate in proper betas nowadays, if a beta isn't perfect, you'll find a giant shitstorm of people nagging about HAHA BUGS UNFINISHED SHIT GAME 0/10. GGG is forced to run those tests on the live version now and compensate dedicated testing with raw player numbers.

Instead of specifically looking for problems, they rely on players stumbling them by pure accident just because there's hundreds of thousands playing.

Expect 3.1 to be really good. I mean this, because then they'll have had time to really look into how the changes affected the game and put in another patch that rounds out all the problems.

GGG's stance on this didn't help, the "beta" was just a cashgrab. If they trully wanted to beta test it they should've made it open and actually kill that monstrosity of a league we had to make people actually test that shit.

theory: there was once a genius developer working for chris who designed the base of the game, including the engine, but they left the company at some point and left GGG with an extremely convoluted mess of a game that nobody can comprehend, and that's why they haven't been able to fix performance/stability issues or create any interesting new content over the past few years

Im going to see how stun is with a fucktarded huge life pool, if I need it its easy to pick up. Since I was building a tree for maximum possible life I cut out the nodes like Unwavering for now. The build can still easily grab another 4 jewel slots once you have decent ones to put in.

this is what i dont really understand. you used to get decent return when it was 50% increased but now that its 30% why would you bother when you can get more crit all the time with other clusters? doubly suck for assassins whose identity is power charge stacking. makes it easier to ignore power charges now without feeling guilty i guess.

There's a fuckton of Uniques and cases like Assassin where the changes don't make any fucking sense. Oh and caster Raider builds got absolutely fucked.

For example Assassin still has it's bleed/poison path that functions around crit. You basically need an attack build to utilize that path yet the powercharge/basecrit path is now quite shit for attack builds. Meanwhile the third path functions around big hits but doesn't work well at all with poison/bleed path because you don't get 100% chance to poison or bleed so you won't get the benefit of those big first hits in them.

HOW

HOW CAN YOU MAKE DISCHARGE WORK IN A BUILD

IT'S FUCKING IMPOSSIBLE
>>
>>184094798
If Channeled Summon Skellies makes it in then CWC Dark Pact would be great.

Otherwise maybe some wonky trapper variants assuming that trap casted Dark Pacts work in targeting the skellies proper. Also maybe Skelly totem + Dark Pact but it would def be slow to clear.

Self Cast Dark Pact probably won't be FotM because it's too scary for scrubs.
>>
>>184094798
I dont think more than a couple people here are excited about self cast dark pact. Everyone else is losing their shit over skeleton dark pack, but Skele health pools are fucking trash. Assuming Skeletons become channeled youre giving up a significant chunk of base damage and 170% more damage just to have it chain a few times, not to mention that you lose 2 more gem slots for Skele+CWC.

Skele+DP seems like a slower clearing, but safer variant.

>>
>>184095206
You'd need 6% regen * cast speed to sustain it. Sure it's not that difficult but there also isn't really that suitable of an ascendancy to do it with regen. It's also a heavier investment on passive points. Zerker only really needs VP and you'll be pathing that way for chaos damage nodes anyways.

This is the first thing you shouldve thought of after seeing Dark Pact. Its so much easier to reach high totem health levels than it is player or skeleton.

The changes to charges are pretty good. Look, before, every caster had to use blood rage for charges, but this skill specifically designed for warriors, not spell casters.
You still have crit chance with power charges, what's the problem? Just pick assassin and blood rage, use attacks to profit from both of charges, also use some sort of CWDT to proc spells which will benefit too. Relax guys, if some sort of "double dipping" renoving and makes a lot of sense in regards to RT players.

So I dont get two things, Assassin after the DoT changes was nowhere near as powerful as something like Beserker and Inquisitor and those two aren't being touched.
And Frenzy charges have NEVER been a mandatory damage investment in spell builds. You couldnt generate them on spell based builds after taking CI+VP and ruling out blood rage. Forget about poachers mark when better curses are available. I mean, sure you could go Raider or use a unique, but at that point youre playing a memebuild.
What the fuck are these niggers smoking?

Acuity is expensive, shit like the Green Dream you gotta build around, its not as easy as gaining PC from Orb of Storms+PCoC. And fuck off, I'd never trade a curse like Enfeeble for shitters mark.
Besides, if youre a caster, you cant path to Frenzy charges in the bottom while still picking up sufficient spell/crit/ES nodes in the top. They have never been mandatory, especially at the default 3 for 12% more damage. When the fuck have VSpark/VFireball, the definition of muh clearspeed used Frenzy charges in any way??

>>184103770
they used victario's acuity at the start when the build was first getting popular then swapped over to overcharged so they didnt have to use skyforth/victarios/ass mark so they could use biscos/death's door/ a better curse

So, i've been looking around for tips when it comes to conversion builds and found an old post about it, does it hold any truth?

"That would depend on how you want to scale damage. In general, there are 2 ways:
1) High physical damage weapon, scale physical damage, eventually take only the most efficient weapon elemental damage nodes (ie Catalyse), use reservation buffs that scale based on physical damage (hatred, herald of ash) , and use physical damage support + weapon elemental damage support. If you're a tooltip warrior, you can use physical to lightning gem so that your entire damage is scaled with weapon elemental damage support.
2) Attack speed flat elemental damage scaling - you get a fast weapon with some elemental damage, use flat elemental damage reservation buffs (wrath/anger, herald of thunder/ice), weapon elemental damage support and eventually a flat damage support like added lightning damage. Some elemental builds scale aura effectiveness, others scale from weapon elemental damage and projectile/melee damage (the ones that don't say physical).

You usually don't mix these two approaches, but wanders might be an exception."

Spell raiders mostly. DoT already got nerfed into oblivion so further assassin nerfs do fuck all. Freeze and shock on bosses were applied through ground effects and vinktar so nothing new here either. Not that many people play BR/RoA trappers either. If anything it forces players to stick to their role and not invest points into power/frenzy charges if they're doing an attack/spell build. I'm guessing there still was too much diversity that'd confuse future xbox players.

If you play HC without doing it or having a dedicated "survive literally anything" build though there's minor props that you've earned.

Hey guys Lifting here! Today I'm gonna show a you a brand new, atziri viable, uber lab viable flame totem chieftain. This build is of course beginner friendly and budget viable

I dont have time to waste leveling up to 80+ without knowing what Im doing.

I dont enjoy sitting around planning builds. I just like action RPG's/shooting shit with arrows.

Looking at it at poedb it looks like it's usable with any weapon. For some reason i expected it to need a shield. Dammit, now it'll be harder to choose what to use.
>>
>>184110376
Firestorm is fine, if you are fine with its clearspeed on live, there were no changes to it. SR and RF got their support gems buffed, unless that was rolled back or something; stuff like Increased burning damage and the likes.
SRS is fine as it is both in beta and live, at least so far, but libbit is getting hard about SRS+Baron builds.

9-10k yeah, anything above that is added bonus, 11-12k is likely optimal for CI. 8-10k if LL

Mm so more endurance and 2h over my 1h. With the new shield properties w/ %phys attack or w.e it was I was banking for those stats too. But looks fun too! Glad someone else had a similar idea. It may be my 2nd char for harbinger, first one I'm making is pc occultist crit discharge. Inb4 autists comment about the nerfs
>>
So I'm planning to play chaos DMG EK, is poison gem going to be worth or should I use pierce instead?
>>
>>184113973
First they'll nerf juggernaut, because of reasons and then they'll make it that each endurance charge gives 400 Armour instead
>>
>>184112714
with enough damage you're just firing a blastwave that clears screens as fast as the arrows fly

i dont feel like posting a screen cap but its pretty close to 700,000 dps non buffed vs shaper, buffed vs shaper is 1.2 mil dps, buffed vs trash is 2.5 mil dps
all with shitty master crafted gear, 7.5k hp

and its a shadow

the speed of the build is questionable but boss killing should be a+
>>
>>184072721
Im not as pathetic that I'll take bad company over being alone. alright, actually Im being mean, I do not know the girl, but you gotta come up with better than that fampai, that only works on SO RONERY THAT FEEL WHEN NO GF faggots

Probably going to run inquisitor crit freeze pulse and go life+MoM to survive shit
Grabbing the aura nodes and then blasphemy some auras
Prob warlords mark for leech and mana leech+endu charges and there is space for one more, not sure which one yet. Considering I have to grab dex I have all the options really

Should be a powerful boss killer if I get some insane jewels with freeze duration
Now that threshold jewels are being sold by a vendor getting first snow early is easy

>>184104672
the fact that tinkerskin exists without a fix to the traps triggered by enemy (or changed to just traps triggered) was enough of an hint. the charge changing was just confirmation.
