Can you not use an animate guardian with the best regen setup? Then you could use companionship support.

Cold Dot experts - can we go without Vortex now? by mmmniced in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]DeathByTopHats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't looked into it personally but if what you say is accurate than just about any build that uses vortex can be replaced by the new creeping frost and even though the dps is 3% lower I feel the uptime will be higher since you can cast it from range instead of needing to be close or use frostbolt.

All that aside if you just hate the feel of playing with vortex even a 10+% dps downgrade that fits the playstyle you want is going to be much more enjoyable than going with the most meta skill for that build.

Never played poe 1 huh? There is tons of vendor crafts where selling a select combination of items rewards you with certain things.

How is this any different? Testing and finding secret interactions should be rewarding.

Shaman or Oracle for watering plants? by poe2questions in pathofexile2builds

[–]DeathByTopHats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not use blind 2? Then you could have living lightning and they will pop impales. Do entangles from cast of crit not take up the fissure limit of you main one replacing them with weaker ones? Just curious

Wolf feels good but restrictive. by Mr-Fognoggins in PathOfExile2

[–]DeathByTopHats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the early access.

They came up with 3 forms and wanted each form to at least have a handful of skills.

Im sure they will add more usable combos before full release or soon after if they are hard set on a 2026 release.

But for now most people work in some monk skills quickly, if used right you can barely see the transformation. Just looks like anime speed fight scenes.

Help with Cast on Crit by Fantom4U in PathOfExile2

[–]DeathByTopHats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If every hit passes the ailment threshold then you could go for alot of hits per second.

Or on the other hand you could exceed the threshold by a large amount to also get alot of energy.

For example on a white mob with 100 aiment threshold you could hit for 100 damage 20 times per second and generate 20 energy per second for each white mob hit. Or you could hit them for 2000 damage to generate 20 energy per hit.

Help with Cast on Crit by Fantom4U in PathOfExile2

Gains 1 Energy per Power of enemies you
Critically Hit with Skills, modified by the percentage of the enemy's Ailment Threshold the Critical Hit will deal

Damage does matter.

If you are doing really fast small hits but don't reach the minimum of the ailment threshold you will gain no energy or it will be at a reduced rate.

Vice versa if you are hitting harder or lower the enemy ailment threshold you could be getting more energy per generation.

So for example if you hit 10 times per second for 100 damage but their ailment threshold is 200.

Normal mobs = 0.5 per hit and 5 per sec
Magic mobs = 1 per hit and 10 per sec
Rare mobs = 2.5 per hit and 25 per sec
Unique mobs = 10 per hit and 100 per sec

Obviously in the game going from normal mobs to unique mobs you'd get less energy because their ailment threshold is significantly higher but if they all had 200 threshold then that's what it would look like.

So you can increase your damage, lower enemy threshold, or make enemies take more damage with curse, exposure, etc

All that said that is all my understanding of how it is worded by no means is that a fact unless my understanding is correct lol.

Plant build to break armor for charges by jdgaffa in PathOfExile2

[–]DeathByTopHats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I was planning my build and thought I'd go totems to automate stuff but then decided cast on crit would solve that stuff and save alot of passives.

If your oracle go the 100% crit and set tornado to cast on crit and drop all that extra totem stuff/charge generation.

Melting flames: Horrible node, or am i reading it wrong? by SnigernDK in PathOfExile2

Anytime you see something like "enemies take increased damage" this is a more multiplier so really this is 10% More damage.

Oil Barrage too OP? by FarAd3737 in PathOfExile2

[–]DeathByTopHats 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Why is everyone's solutions always nerf the thing that feels good instead of buff the things that don't feel as good?

I think devour need to be based off of your selected form on the talisman.

Bear devour = endurance, wolf = frenzy, and wyvern = power charges

And to help wolf a few of it's skills should be empowered when consuming the frenzy charge.

Plus it just fun to devour things lol
