I mean this is the level of thinking we're working with here:

its reduced, not less. so pretty minor. and theres tons of ways for casters to ignore cast speed entirely. Ele invocation, barrier invocation, cast on crit, shock, freeze, dodge.
spell damage itself is fairly easy to come by. so meh. but they are interesting.

Dot's of course scale with spell damage, and don't care about cast speed as much. and also don't benefit from "damage gained as x" or crit. making raw spell damage more valuable.
chao's degens for sure. but even ignite, and bleed's which can't stack care more about a single big hit, than cast speed. although, yes, that first cast might want speed. such as flameblast.

painters gloves were already pretty amazing, and interesting. they are bonkers now.

Nothing makes me just sigh like going through the first 3 trials and then getting a Server Sync Error on the 4th? What the actual Fuck?

I got tired of smashing my dick in a car door with the 4th Ascendancy so I gave up and just paid a guy 1div. He already cleared to it so took 5 mins. Best money I've spent in game so far.

So, just for everyone's personal information on this.

There is a discord to buy services like this called The Forbidden Trove (people just abbreviate it as TFT)

There are several service channels there and a vouch system etc. If you go there you can buy 4th ascendancy carries for 35-40ex. Mostly, that's where people go for services and sellers are competing with each other so prices are generally much better through that discord.

I was this close to doing it myself, if I had lost that last attempt that was going to be my next option......going through all 4 floors multiple times was beyond draining.

I just got to Trial of Chaos in Act 3. What the fuck is this game design?

Click to expand...

Yeah. Fuck that noise. That is some lame ass design.

It’s crazy. I talk to my buddy who would suck cum straight out of Chris Wilson’s cock and I’m all positive about the game. Come here and I want to fucking uninstall.

also they already fixed minions. It was called convocation.

What are people using those gloves for?

You can get your damage to pretty stupid levels in PoE2 yea? It's also really easy to apply elemental ailments as well right? Well now you can use those gloves and inflict all three ele ailment types with only a single school of damage and also throw extras onto it by doing things like weapon swapping electrocuting arrow and getting electro buildup as well.

There is also a tremendous amount of conditional power on the tree. Monk area with Echoing Flames/Thunder/Frost wheel. Warrior area with Sigil of Ice/Fire/Lightning wheel. Generic ele damage all over the place and other extras like Harness the Elements.

You get a ton of highly efficient increased damage with those gloves, and now that they have gain as well... they are even more efficient.

EDIT: Oh... and I almost forgot. You can use all three heralds as well....

Installed Uber Strict filter and it made mapping much less annoying.

After over a week hiatus and the lucky streek this weekend I got hyped up to continue grinding for a bit more.

Would be nice if the patch drop though.

which? painters?
converts base elemental damage into equal amounts of elemental damage.

Allows some interesting interactions, and aliments. note, this is applied to base damage.
so, archmage is not effected by this.
see the thundering passives, or stormbringer. or that one support that does INT based damage to consume ailments.
mana flare's fire damage would be however.

I tried them with a cheap uniques leveling build but it wasn't quite enough to get heralds chaining off each other. But, good points on the endgame uses, thanks.

I don't know if it's possible to get heralds chaining off each other while leveling. Might be able to as a Monk. Look at how efficient your early game is from the Monk starting area with those gloves:

Guildmate was using painters gloves, chance to shock on herald of ice support and extra cold support on herald of lightning with Pokeyring of course and it basically auto shots entire breaches.

I use painter's for just general shocking from cold spells and some tasty "elemental damage if you've X'd" recently annoints/passives on my CoC Invoker. It does however make stuff like "25% of fire as extra cold" worse because you're splitting that 25% down to basically 8.3% before you get the extra cold (which I'm not sure if it splits or not). They're incredibly nice gloves.

Doedre's are probably pretty good for CoC attack. 100% spell damage is a hefty fucking chunk, but I think most of those builds outside of Chayula CoC (phys leech only) is probably scaling elemental generally so they can boost their attacks as well as the spells that proc.

Haven't played in about 2 weeks and this patch looks good and I should probably finish my new tech char sometime, but between Tarkov and the EQ multiclass EMU I'm just kind of sitting waiting for a restart honestly. It sucks they don't know how to fix minions and I'm pretty sure I have an idea how, but I think it'd fuck their revive timer system. They already said making them all phasing isn't good probably because with the dogshit non-aggressive AI atm they just walk through 100 mobs that run into you and facefuck you.

The 1/4 map bosses seems a bit low, imo. Bosses are the most fun part of the game if you're not a breach exploder. Hopefully the new precursors will drop often and you can get that 1/4 to more like 2/3 or something. That'd make mapping feel a lot better for shit layout maps if they at least have a boss. However, double whammy, ain't no way I'm doing 5x the bosses before map tab is in because fuuuuck that.

do we know when the official notes/ and patch come out?
