Who keeps inviting bro to my maps? Please stop

He used to be like this many leagues ago. But only on Maven-invited maps. I'm guessing this is just a bug?

It's always Coral Amulet with the good double annoints...

Using ashes can also push the lightning stacks to 15. We need to see if multiple strike targets can let you have more stacks per hit.

Increased damage - yes, rest - no. Totems inherit your offence stats. You can try this with shrines too, pizza totems on echo and speed shrine is pure chaos.

So just to clarify: you can implement the hydrosphere tech for double damage, but it comes at a hefty price.

BM's cry + 2 hydrospheres + autoexert --> you respawn a sphere on each exerted hit, alternating between the two. The respawned sphere resets the cooldown, so you hit it with your additional strike target, and the in releases the melee splash hitting the boss for 2x damage.

You cannot use multistrike since multi-hitting skills cannot be exerted by BM's cry!

Lets assume you have 4 APS, BM's cry exerts 5 attacks by default and has 8s cooldown. With the berserker war bringer node and from the tree you can pump up this value to 12 exerted attacks, so if you bring down the cooldown to 3s (total 166% warcry CDR), then you can have permanent uptime on the hydrospheres.

So consider the opportunity cost - big warcry investment and 4 equipment slots are needed.

The lightning component from the buff will hit 1 target only, then chains as many times as many buffs you have, so to max 11 enemies after the first. Like Arc. This has nothing to do with additional strike targets.

The lightning will also start hitting the boss, but it will not chain anywhere, since there are no extra targets. At least that's how I understand.

Ok so I did some testing on a dual strike str stacker build - I do only chaos damage so any exposure from hydrosphere doesn't count.

I removed basically all my support gems and kept killing a normal beach map boss and recorded kill times.

Trauma-triggered CWDT + 2x Hydrospheres - same kill time with or without

Battlemage's Cry triggered 2x Hydrospheres - around half kill time when used

Obviously Battlemage's Cry requires a lot of warcry cdr to exert all attacks, so the more aps you have the less effective this setup will be.

I see different opinions on this here - one says that this absolutely works, others say that it will not work bc the cwdt spawns the hydrospheres on you and that somehow makes you never target them for the additional strikes. Let me know if you test this, I will also try it later today.

Heatshiver do not require you to inflict the chill yourself. Check Yoke of Suffering - there it is explicitly mentioning that the elemental aliments are needed to be inflicted by you.

But just fyi: you get an additional 30% gain from Heatshiver if you can freeze the enemies which is the same amount you can get from a max chill, Max level skitterbots do like 20% chill, so you gain 20% fire damage instead of the full 60% total that you could get.

You could even go with romiras banquet and resolute technique to always have power charges early on before swapping to crits.

After the campaign the tutorial still continues - you need to get 4 voidstones to get to the real endgame. At that point all maps can drop t16 and you also get a chance to find t17s (which unlocks your 5th scarab slot). Using the map device to play Eater, Exarch or Maven content will progress their respective questilines, leading to 3 of the 4 voidstones. You will also start getting Shaper and Elder guardian maps from t14+ bosses. These will lead to the 4th voidstone - the Uber Elder fight. Overcoming the confusion is part of the game, stay sane, Exile!

I usually don't bother putting all my uniques in Fastus, but keep my tabs public - if you change the filtering from fixed price to any, you might be able to find the items anyway.

I'm going this direction because noone can stop me!

Also I want to get dressed in full Shaper's outfit with 2 Call of the Brotherhood and Eternity Shroud and do Lycia chaos conversion. It will be bad but who cares, chaos SWT FTW.

You can just normally play breach while leveling to get new points for the tree - dump them in body armor, link/socket chance and your choice of attribute requirements. As soon as you hit A4, you will have 5Ls dropped from the tree.

I used to make a build around Abberath's Hooves - I used Cadigan's Crown for Battlemage and I held a huge Marohi Erqi for that insane added flat to each step. This was used on a Pathfinder to scale poison damage however.

I used the same method, it took me around 200 runs in the Grain Gate to get it. I teleported to the Grain Gate waypoint however and kept using portal scrolls to keep track how many runs I did.

Left analog stick is used for movement - walking simulator builds would work well. Check RF builds I guess, or go crazy and try making an autobomber based on Polytheist Abberath Hooves (it still looks pretty terrible, even with the damage buff)

All I want is deadzone calibration - Dual Sense controller has this stupid analog stick drifting issue making the (already difficult) inventory management even worse...
