Ill do a glad barrage impale bow build. Not sure yet what ill use for clear.

Obv meant champ impale...

So if you have 2k mana, an attainable number without trying too hard, arcane cloak eats 1280 of it, and the damage eating buff can take 1280 damage, which makes it a somewhat underwhelming steelskin for people who don't want to invest into strength. But it also adds 179 flat lightning damage, which is just shy of storm brand's flat damage? That is quite a bit. Or, using archmage support, and no particular high mana cost shenanigans, you pay 6% of your mana per cast and instead get 152 + 7-134 lightning damage, an average of ~222 flat? Seems pretty great even without shenanigans, and it also seems ripe for shenanigans. It doesn't seem implausible to use both these things and triple storm brand's base.

Kinetic bolt seems to have way better stats than kinetic blast, although maybe not as good of a spread.

Minion stats are so opaque it seems hard to compare the animated lingering blades to zombies or raging spirits or whatever. Maybe it's good?

So this was 65% reservation with the announced 15% Spellslinger and is now 87% reservation with the 20% Spellslinger, meaning I can no longer use Herald of Ash with it which seems to be a loss of 20-25% damage. I don't think it's worth doing now over just self-casting Wave of Conviction (or really anything else I guess) so back to the drawing board I go.

The more I look at these new notables... the more I am just like... how could I do anything but a CoC Cyclone build using both channeling and shield notables?

I made a long post complaining but my complains are more of the same every league(so I deleted).
i.e quick look at archmage tooltip and have no idea what language they used.

Yeah, I'm not so sure on spellslinger at this point. Like, it could be decent QOL for frost bolt/ice nova, but then you don't get to use pledge of hands or have both 6L, so... I'm not sure. Maybe someone will break it, but that person won't be me.

I occasionally look at the PoE sub and man it's changed so much. I'd be complete noob if I came back. I don't know what half the **** is in the pictures.

Anyone played bladestorm zerker/glad/whatever? Is it fun/viable/accessible? Seems like it might be, and that it's a somewhat different play style from summoners, casters, and cyclone that I've been through in recent leagues. I still am leaning to start with storm brand with one or more of the new mana gems, but I haven't made up my mind.

I'm currently leaning Herald of Purity Guardian.

Forgot to queue… Placed at 50k so people will be in maps when i log on

Impale bow sounds awful. How has it gone?

kirby isn't messing around I tell ya!

Looks like we have a winner now, Herald and Aura stacking Guardian with Purposeful Harbinger (and Heraldry/Endbringer) is the broken combo.

There is a 4 passives 3 voices unique gem (3 medium jewel sockets + 1 useless passive on one jewel) up for one mirror on /trade.

Lol.

The heraldry+endbringer+small jewel socket gem however is actually pretty affordable. 4/5 passives don't really matter since it's 4 points to get both and the final small socket and the additional benefit of whatever suffix is so trivial it doesn't matter.

Personally, I am going for a large with 8/9 passives, 2 medium sockets, stormrider+corrosive elements (this combo is popular, like 1ex). In the medium sockets, I'll be running heraldry+endbringer and use the small sockets for some kind of +crit multiplier + energy shield + (optional) resist jewel.

So... with a weekend of grinding for 2-3 ex worth of jewels, I should be able to boost my dps by 40% or so.

If you run three purities you have little to no need for resistance on the jewels

I can't fit purities in. Running CI storm brand trickster. 5 heralds + discipline all I can fit.

Maybe I'll build guardian next but I suspect that's out of my price range this league. It looks easy to start but the DPS and clear just seem kind of slow without GG gear.

Was browsing Reddit trying to figure out if something could fix my graphics issues. There isn't. But I found this.



GGG fixed a lot of things since start of the league but I still get crushed by some stuff like legion stones or some Cassias (mostly when there is a proximity shield in the pile). All the conqueror trash (especially Drox's) and Sirus' beams too. Anytime things get intense in Delirium too so I am scared to run juiced maps... and isn't that like half of the fun in POE?

someone can trade my Glyph mark harbinger bow (with 9.4) on a headhunter? standart
@luyseka

not actual more.

CHHOO CHHOO Y'ALL

So I've been shortstacking the **** out of this game the past 3 weeks, and finally got enough to buy some sick digital skulls.

If there's an open guild I'd love to join!!

EDIT: ugh sorry i'm bad at 2p2 now

grats mate, post your character name and somebody will invite you

It's in the screenshot- char is NoTPforMyButt

So

1. Roll up a pretty good Desert Springs, and add Beyond and Einhar to it (not Jun or Alva or Zana).
2. Rush to the boss, kill her as fast as you can.
3. Go back out and start clearing the rest of the map, and watch how the fog goes past you but the 5s timer doesn't start. Also, the lighting is still weird.
4. Clear most of the rest of the map at your leisure, but beware, there is still a ring on the map where if you cross into it the timer will start and you'll lose the delirium effect
5. When done, click the arrow to turn it off and enjoy 30+ splinters and a big lootsplosion.

Even if you're doing better than that on Tropical Island, it's worth seeing once.

I'm planning to play the next league, has anyone seen a good guide for Metamorph and Delirium?

Can I just pick whatever build was good in Metamorph as it's probably out of favour now, or did the passive tree change so much in Delirium that I'll be out of date?

Pending 3.11 league changes of course.
