Failure states like you might hit in PoE are not possible here. You can go in 100% blind and just pick a couple skills you like and a class you like and assign the points to whatever says +damage on it more or less and be 'fine'. You won't clear the super high tiers of corruption or anything...

Retaliation skills definitely feel like a 2nd or 3rd build project once you've got some resources to work with. I'm gonna just yolo Chieftan slams I think and see how it goes. If raw hit damage caps out I can convert to bleed with those boots without too much trouble I think, just gotta use a...

Yea this isn't even API or any external data parser - just basic as Vault searches for eDiscovery bullshit. Near as I can tell it's just bassic boolean input and should be fine with doing it as a huge AND+OR, or worst case break down in to two separate queries.

Yea the removal of totems giving you an available 4-link to play with is definitely throwing me off my usual build plans. It's probably time to explore some alternative utility skills I guess? Maybe a voidsphere for crowd control? Are we back to having a stone golem for some regen?

Any of you nerds Google Workspace admins? I can't remember offhand the boolean syntax Google will accept for large single queries with AND+OR operators similar to: This should return everything from the fruit.com domain as well as anything containing 'pie' or 'cake' and any of the matching...

Okay I fixed bleed slams boys, just need a drop from uber sirus is all:

Frostblades, the answer is always frostblades. Maybe smite or static strike? I don't know offhand how those deal their AE/beam damagees.

Yea it's really ass and makes the aggravated stuff on tree a complete trap unless you're exactly lacerate I think The only way any kind of big slam bleed like EQ or whatever is gonna work is with the gladiator node

Yea that's the primary concern, the way active bleeds work is only based on the strongest bleed application and the wording on aggravate makes it sound like it's not part of the base bleed application: The extra damage from Aggravated bleeding is separate to bleeding's normal damage. For...

Yea I'm gonna probably just yolo chieftan with any random slam skill that I like the most. It's all pretty interchangeable, the only real question is pure phys or use one of the fire converts like tec slam. The damage numbers are so high you can pretty much flail your way in to red maps without...

I think people are really missing what was written in the FAQ. They are saying the passive tree stuff can only ever cause an *existing* bleed to become aggravated, meaning that you attack > apply a bleed > attack again with ~45% chance to aggravate the previous bleed > what happens if the 2nd...

The amount of Slayer/Chieftan bleed setups I see taking ~45% aggravate on the tree and using fist of war+ruthless+volatility is fucking incredible. Just the worst kind of PoB warrior nonsense, cause it isn't even obvious from the config how bad it's going to actually play. ESPECIALLY since...

That's just replica alberons strength stack, it barely has anything to do with molten strike lol You can sub in nearly any melee skill using that core of alberons + crown (no more battlemages cry) + fortress and just go to the moon with DPS. I played it to 100 in necropolis using volcanic...

Yea ground slam doesn't really work for bleed, not the base gem anyway - too much of its damage is tied up in the 'more damage with hits based on proximity' bit that won't help your bleeds much. I haven't done the math on sunder vs earthquake for bleeds, but just eyeballing it it looks like...

Everyone thinking about playing lacerate needs to log in to standard and test it out a bit. The hemorrhage variant has 0 AE scaling and can't switch to sand stance. Everyone uses it for these build recommendations because the numbers on it are absurd, but even with bleed pops the clear is gonna...
