If you're confident a pack of mobs will eventually die in X skill activations, you should move on. Sucks for looting, but your filter will become more strict soon. Phasing from a quartz flask and Dash help a ton for getting around mobs that are going to die but haven't died yet.

But, I assume you know all this. So, am I misunderstanding something?

I mean more in the sense of like 'holy shit these mobs need to die faster so they stop trying to kill me' kind of thing. Right now a single rain kills packs, 2 rains for rares/magics if I'm on a juiced map, but that hasn't changed since I got to maps. It feels like the actual total damage the DOTs do is insanely high, it just doesn't dick fast enough for my liking?

I think they put way more dev time into the rewards (clusters), than into the actual mechanic to get those rewards. I'm going to laugh if the new acts in PoE 2 are nothing more than a rehash of what we've been doing with all the previous acts: Get booted to Wraeclast, go back to Oriath, then back to Wraeclast, then back to Oriath.

Maybe I’ll be motivated to finish leveling tonight. I’ve spent more time in pob than playing. I do want to try something with archmage, but meh on this league.

I set up a power siphon set last night with barrage and I feel it’s better that non-barrage kinetic blast.

I’m probably going to try to swap to CI for early maps and take advantage of ES leech off ball lightning.

Yeah, not much you can do there. Chaos DOTs don't get faster mods like bleed and poison do.

The opposite would be to up your defenses so you can live through mobs that long. CI and that cluster notable that hinders on chaos hit might help.

I'm doing something wrong. I was going with the Cyclone Impale Champion build but you level with Bladestorm. It sucks. I'm too squishy, my dps sucks, and I'm dying too fast. I'm only in the mid 40s but I'm thinking of trying something else, I haven't yet because I'm convinced I've got to be missing something / doing something wrong. Part of it is that I'm basically SSF (not spending currency for leveling gear) and my stats are rough but last league (my first) of the 3 builds I tried none of that shit really mattered until right around maps.

I tried switching to Cyclone / Impale Early but that hasn't helped.

I bet the difference is in the crazy amount of attack/move speed I'm getting with Gladiator. I'm using Esoro's Bleed Gladiator, he has a really good build guide on Youtube. Still ripping through shit easily on T6's with crappy 3C/piece gear and a five link chest. 4.5k hps. Bosses melt in seconds. Pure phys with some leech.

it's really a punch to the face of loyal players

Its the first league that one shot me out of nowhere when I was in flooded passage, lol.

Lets see, one shot explode mechanics, corpse explosions but you cant see them because everything is obscured by fog

Everything is the same shade of fucking gray, including mobs....

Can anyone confirm or deny that the skill Barrage (not the support Barrage) is causing Spellslinger to proc twice? I was watching Ziz proc twice as many orbs when using the Barrage skill vs. Frenzy + Barrage Support? He has since stopped using Frenzy. Some say its a bug, others say its an issue with getting your attack speed down low enough.

I can't tell the diff. I think it might be just break points.

Spellslinger does proc on projectile fire. so, it will activate multiple times on barrage, if the barrage lasts longer then the CD of spellslinger.
In a Desecrate/VD build, that is super useful, as normally, the VD won't do anything the first cast, as its cast at the same time as Desecrate, and theres no bodies.
so barrage or barrage support will; desecrate/vd, putting down bodies, then desecrate/vd again, in a single click.

OK guess I'll ask here. Anyone able to do an uber lab carry? Ive never had to ask for one before, but for some reason the traps are eating me for lunch and I've had 3 people fail at carrying me so far (had 8 blessings..failed 5 and then last 3 went to paying other people to fail fml). Account name is apostolos and am now looking for more blessings to try again.

Started a glad lacerate build today. Haven't played for a few seasons. It's always refreshing to take a break for a few seasons

This may not be the open arms, moist kiss on the cheek league you've been waiting for. It is, without hyperbole, the blandest since the first gen leagues like Ambush and Nemesis.

Metamorph really held my interest, this one is the meh-est of the meh.

Reading the delirium manifesto made me realize that GGG is slowly turning into a Blizzard-like entity. They are already showing clear signs of revenue above all else. Plus all of the contradicting statements by devs, I might as well have read a blue post on mmo-champion.

Hit one of the juiced up vaal areas in a t14 and got 5 6l corrupted body armours from one zone.

Everything they've done this league apart from the actual mechanic is good.

So I’ve had an injured kid. And lack of real interest. That said I ended up taking my kinetic bolt assassin from trying to scale raw elemental and generic crit to CoC with spellslinger on wave of conviction and ball lightning. Arc is on CoC. Will probably move ball lightning to CoC and try out barrage support with kinetic bolt.

Given I’m using arc and ball lightning, I’ll probably end up just using barrage CoC ball lightning with WoC and arc on spellslinger. Mana reservation is an issue. I’m trying to fit in zealotry and so far the easiest way is to just use an essence worm and eat the mana reservation on the spellslingers.

Clearing like a beast but bossing is weaker.
