to include tendrils

Not sure about calling them S-class. They are still both skills that are very awkward to use. No AoE on tendrils means you cant use it as a clear skill. Having a second step in summoning corpses for DD is going to make it very awkward to use as well. Put it like this, why use detonate dead when I can use volatile dead and heatsink anything nearby?

Lightning tendrils is always used as the boss killer in your 6L with Arc in Thunderfists or other AoE spells. For Tendrils to get a 20% increase to its highest damage and a 50% more damage pulse every 4th is pretty fucking OP. I was decimating Shaper before with LT on my arc build, this is going to make boss killing with it a joke now.

Not sure why I'm fanboing Cutedog (maybe I'm gay deep down?), but you are thinking of ZIzaran who I think is gay. I can only watch him for so long before his effeminate self starts to wear on me.

yes I know. Was commenting on two different people.

So loot filters, anyone pick up one that's been updated yet. I saw someone post on reddit on how to fix one from before but I haven't tried yet or dug into it.

neversink is doing his on stream right now, will likely just grab that when he's done.

Hrmm cast on channel with tendrils could be fun.

That's what imma do and swap cwc/arc out for conc and elemental focus for tougher bosses. Nice thing is the templar crit tree is so generic if it ends up sucking you can swap in just about any meta spell. Super easy switch to glacial cascade if need be.

lol trade snipers assfucked. awesome
Well, provided poe.trade has gotten their shit together since the beginning of Harbinger. They were often more than 60 seconds behind during primetime.

I'd recommend everyone use poeapp.com anyway. Better interface and since less of the masses use it it's always under far less of a load than poe.trade. And while I haven't tried it personally, I've read that the official trading site has been lagging behind the others even at the end of a season when hardly anyone's playing.

Thanks I'll have to investigate that and find it.
Neversink = FilterBlade - PoE Filter Customizer - Finetuned for NeverSink's Filter .. the updated filter will be available before the league starts.

One thing I've never been able to figure out with filter customization--and by week 2 I use a heavily customized one that shuts off practically everything except alt+ currency, league-specific stuff, expensive div cards, uniques, high tier map, quality gems, 6-links, and atlas-only crafting bases--is that no matter how much shit I turn off, I see practically everything while I'm leveling.

Lightning tendrils is always used as the boss killer in your 6L with Arc in Thunderfists or other AoE spells. For Tendrils to get a 20% increase to its highest damage and a 50% more damage pulse every 4th is pretty fucking OP.

Sounds interesting, how pricy a build is it overall? I still have no idea what I'm playing after I get a currency stockpile going, and I haven't played any sort of caster in years.

Yeah might try LT after seeing the actual numbers. Will wait till later in the league though as apparently Mathil is making it his starting build.

Engineering Eternity changed the title of his builds on youtube that were 3.1 compatible and put new pastebin links to bring into PoB and comments on which builds would work in 3.1 to start with.

Watching his twitch stream now of him reviewing other persons builds.

Vaal pact changes make me hesitant to try a caster, especially one that requires close range. I was not a fan of warlords mark nor giving up a support for life leech.

For DD I guess if you were to try to scale ignite, DD would do a lot more damage since it has like twice as much base damage and 2% more damage from the corpse itself. That said, ignite nowadays isn't really a thing so it probably won't be very relevant.

The corpse thing affects all these new skills the same so that's kinda par for the course, it's a 2 skill setup similar to ED. Probably won't be much of an issue with enough cast speed though especially since whatever dies first will generate more corpses so you don't need to constantly redo the corpses, other than boss fights(and I guess abyss, that's gonna be more annoying).

I don't think it'll be THE build but should be pretty decent.

I got it narrowed down to 3 of the EE builds he did videos on cause I'm kinda lazy and don't know much about other builds.

Jugg, Blade Fury Gladiator, block scorhing ray necro.

Dunno, may do all 3.
