    Right, utility. Does anyone use it as a damage skill?

    Those are fair points. Just bothers me. Sometimes the stragglers are things that should be killed, like a rare. Anyway, this is what I love about PoE. The guy that made Nimis is still figuring out builds for it 3 leagues later. Also kinda annoys me too. I explicitly looked into Eye of...

    No to ash, I'm doing pure phys impale. Yes to ancestral cry. The problem I have is kinda hard to put into words, but let me try again. You will explode a pack but not always. Sometimes there will be stragglers on the outer edges that got hit by 0-1 pulses. You are planning how you are going...

    Has anyone loaded up a melee build with tons of strike range tattoos? I've been trying out Boneshatter and I dislike how small the "bubble" of reliable clear is. Sure, indoors, you can get those nice pulse chains, but you cannot reliable on them. I'm wondering if slapping +20 strike range on...

    The only real abuse part of that is Sniper's Mark. GMP and Spell Echo act as straight multipliers the same as without return. How are you getting fork? Might be fun if it could be done on an ascendancy with actual defenses.

    Maybe I'm just picky. Maybe PoE has made me anxious. But getting into slog fights, which must have happened with just splitting steel and no return proj, makes me think I'm just baiting an eventual one shot. Move or die. Kill quick or die. Maybe I should try a build that can actually stand...

    Right, but I didn't want to play just any strike skill. I wanted to abuse returning projectiles and Splitting Steel seemed like the best candidate. I'll prioritize a new interesting character to play over a decent league start, especially given the previous league only lasted a month. That...

    Learn from my league start mistakes/experiences. By league start, I mean no uniques, 4L max, no expensive anoints, no benchcrafts that cost chaos, 2 T3 affixes on weapons, 3 T3 affixes on everything else. Basically, builds that you can reliably progress your atlas with no market interaction...

    Silver coins almost down to 0.25c. Don't know if patch yesterday has been live long enough to have an effect. Started as pconc pathfinder. Probably a mistake on my part to have petrified blood as my only mitigation. Wasn't really a fan of having to aim pconc even with poison prolif...

    I can see the rarity justified for a few drops. I don't think most breach drops need to be so rare that you can count the entire market on one hand.

    I'll give you EK is a better clear skill with Nimis. I've tested this with self-poison. Yes, EK placement is tighter but requires boss hugging. BF placement varies but on average will place more blades in target range than EK. Woke cascade furthers that gap. You get ~15 blade blasts on a...

    Definitely. Wardloop is not the only other walking simulator, perhaps just the next most popular. I picked that one because it should have guides.

    Battlemage volconus I haven't seen in a while. Most recent one I've seen is Marohi Erqi, usually on Shockwave Totems and some paper-thin defenses. All I'm saying is that once you divide that 135% by the standard dps support, it's pretty much the same as Battlemage(but one handed weapons...

    What's the added damage once you factor in the typical support opportunity cost? Then ask yourself why you weren't playing battlemage previously.

    That's part of the fun of PoE: automating away all of the "skill" of a build. I don't understand why the preponderance of RF players don't graduate to wardloopers.

    I've never seen more than two hits on a human sized target from cascade bladefall. Eater will probably get 3, maybe 4? But blade blast would be 9 easily, why not utilize it in a 4L? Woke cascade is another story. With enough less AoE, you can get close to 15 hits with bladefall. EDIT...

    Remember that non-physical damage has a penalty to stun threshold. Additionally, ignite builds don't do much hit damage.

    Boneshatter is ok. The ramp time on trauma stacks is similar to poison, which I hate. And I couldn't figure out that stun pulse. It would very inconsistently chain through packs.

    Yeah, you can get ~10m on dirt cheap gear(10s of chaos per slot, max) while still being a tanky champion. Comments on some other supports, in order: Does more and less stack on a singular gem? Assuming more/less doesn't stack, one stack of invigorating blaze does 1.14 * 0.97 = 10% more...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Apologies if this has already been asked: how does this game's combat compare to previous Larian games? I felt that too much of DD2 revolved around finnicky positioning to get the enemy waste their initial AP on movement. And save scumming if you guessed wrong.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Players made that assumption with D4 releasing soon and the retarded amount of power creep being dumped into S29. I don't recall Blizzard confirming that S29 was the last. Seems like a copy of PoE's Abyss. I think they aped Rampage previously. Maybe they'll copy some good leagues eventually.

    As I said, there's already a jewel in game(it is Fireborn, looked it up) that has this same exact behavior. There is no doubts how it will behave. It's "decent" in the with jewel socket and that's it. And even then, a fire cluster jewel is more efficient. I'd really like for singular...

    The language on the ascendancy is very specific and there's already a jewel in game(fireborn I think?) that does this same behavior. It will not work anything that doesn't say "increased/reduced damage". Cluster jewel notables have no distance, thus don't count in any jewel's radius. Good for...
