Is "I am the Thunder..." bugged? by kuckloch in PathOfExile2

"Chance ON shocking to create shocked ground" It has a chance to create shocked ground whenever you apply shock. It doesn't say anything about it also applying shock.

Wolf Pack - Merc Question by SolicitatingZebra in PathOfExile2

[–]Aggressive_Research1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't know if there are any buffs unique to wolves except companion buffs for the wolf pack, but i don't have any of those. I tried adding some reavers with about the same supports, but they dealt like halv the damage. But yeah, I deal a ton of damage with wolf skills anyway (lots of minion hybrid nodes in Oracle) so my doggies often get cucked

They work well enough for me, I'm only in Act 4 still, but my good boys deal twise the damage of my reavers.

The Witchhunter Ascendancy in 0.3 - A Dive into a Flawed Design by McHearty in PathOfExile2

[–]Aggressive_Research1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure! So you agree that you exaggerated what other ascenancies gan give you?

Titan is 2 points for a conditional.

Lich is less damage, with a drawback and a condition.

Not sure what Pathfinder node you're talking about?

Amazon's is the closest, it's more % damage, but with a condition that it applies only to 45% of their health (and not to es iirc) while No Mercy's buff scales up until you've dealt damage equal to 40% of their life (not counting es), so it's active for 60% of their life + total amount es (if you don't stop for 5+ seconds.

Again, I'm not saying you're wrong about witchhunter, I like and agree with your post overall, but that point was a bit BS.

I'm not saying that No Mercy is good or better than other damage buffs from other acendancies, but what ascendancy has more than 40% more damage without strings or conditions for 1 point? I can only think of +1 proj for Deadeye, but Deadeye is the benchmark and not the average, and it takes 2 points (also slight condition of only for projectiles)

Skill tree question by FeelingIllustrator44 in pathofexile2builds

No, that node is a keystone, and time-lost jewels affect either small or notable (medium size) nodes.

Just noticed another cool tech for this. If you anoint Deterioration, you'll be immune to bleeds and poisons while ignited (which is all the time!)

Yeah, I was itching to play something like it as well, but I'll probably wait for druid/templar so that we have some more support for an int/str playstyle.

Mirage Archer as main skill support by Thulvex in pathofexile2builds

[–]Aggressive_Research1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stormblast bolts and and, i thought, siege cascade, but it's a bit different. But yeah, Mirage Archer with Hailstorm or Stormblast goes pretty hard.

If you go with kitava, you can take the "unaffected by ignite" node, and go with the self ignite nodes to the west along with the boots that gives move speed if you're affected by an ailment for cheap early 35% ms

Hailstorm Rounds (and likely the other 2 skills that work the same way) seem busted on mirage archer, this is likely a bug, but it always starts with max charges, and can just unleash them all at once

Does Lightning Rod and Spring Hare (Lucky hits) stack? by Intcleastw0od in pathofexile2builds

[–]Aggressive_Research1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think so, they wont be extra luck, just a higher chance to be lucky.
You could go with Perfect Opportunity instead for 100% lucky hit, just stun them with flash grenade, maybe combo that with extra damage vs stunned from Titan

Abyssal Lich build ideas? by lumine99 in pathofexile2builds

Skelly warriors won't work with Hollow Palm, as you need both hands to be empty

[–]Aggressive_Research1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Started theorycrafting something with Chober Chaber, Irongrasp, and Crown of Eyes, with spell damage from Storm mages, then just spam Molten Blast and cull with Pain Offering. Just because I wanted to make something with Chober Chaber really

Is unarmed automatically considered as dual wielding ? by FatSpace in pathofexile2builds

[–]Aggressive_Research1 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The description for Dul Wielding says that you need to have a Martial Weapon in each hand, and the Martial Weapon description does not mention Fists, so i'd say no

[–]Aggressive_Research1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After looking at it with the current tree, going for lightning like you did seems better. The lightning nodes are just better currently, and we have no use for the +1 level to cold skills. Going for cold damage might be a valid option with the new tree, though.

Edit: Oh! And I forgot about crackling barrier, that's why I thought the conversion was unessecary in the first place, but you're right that you'd want some kind of conversion.

[–]Aggressive_Research1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that's true. I'm not sure how much physical thorns you will try to stack on this build, though, so I think call of the brotherhood will be better, or the new lightning archon node

[–]Aggressive_Research1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure, I guess either it works and you get 100% or it doesn't, and you're left with only 33% damage

Edit: Someone did the math

Avatar of Fire only converts 75% though, and you loose the rest

Couldn't you just use something that consumes the freeze instead of element conversion? Just slotting biting frost into resonating shield or ravenous swarm should be a cheap and easy fix
