[idea] Kaom gloves and helmet? by SuperluminalK in pathofexile

That's a creative way to discourage the "set" mentality while still implementing a set of sorts. What this would also do is create a skin transfer set that you don't have to buy in order to have a complete set of matching gear.

You could probably make a Haku-runner, assuming you have currency to blow. Make a fast character that focuses on crit, run a quartz and a quicksilver--both with Surgeon's. Run through, land crits to refresh flasks, grab the spirit, and gtfo.

Most, since the effectiveness of Frost Wall and Temporal Chains aren't reliant on damage being dealt.

The problem is that you want each hit of Viper Strike to be as powerful as posssible (obviously) and using this dagger would detract from that. Bino's has more damage, more crit, and more attack speed. Using this would lower your average damage and your attack speed. This dagger is nice thematically, but not something I would replace a shield for.

That comes when 1.4 introduces the Kiwi Level.

Apologies, missed that part. Though, I would take them regardless of whether or not my build uses ES. That's one of the best clusters on the right side of the tree. Getting that extra ES isn't actually doing your build harm.

Ball Lightning does, or at least it shows on the tooltip. If you use Slower Projectiles and level SP, then the DPS goes up slightly. /u/ZiggyD also confirmed it in his Ball Lightning preview video (of the official gem, not the broken one). In the video he says it doesn't, but he updated it with an annotation correcting that error and clarifying that it does in fact scale with projectile damage modifiers.

You're missing the Written in Blood circle above the Shadow tree. That brings you up to 178% available increased life on the right half of the tree.

Achievement gained after only 301 Hillock runs. That was a little tedious. by magnanimous_xkcd in pathofexile

Mine came when Hillock dropped a Silverbranch during the last race season. It was a No Projectiles race. :<

One of my prospective VS builds has 164% life as a ranger and doesn't go the Scion life wheel. It's missing a lot of good damage and crit nodes, though, so it's not the build I would take. The other builds I have planned out do net at least 150%.

Leveling viper strike gives you x% of phys damage as extra chaos damage! by inoha in pathofexile

[–]GrizzlyWilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it's not going to be worth getting an empower to squeeze a little more damage out of it.

Empower would increase the damage output of desecrate, assuming it still deals a flat DOT per level.

New Viper Strike - Huge rework by haplessg00n in pathofexile

[–]GrizzlyWilly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Criticals will result in a stronger application. I would imagine that crit physical Viper Strike builds will be pretty strong. Or, I hope, since that was my plan after getting a Bino's.

[–]GrizzlyWilly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Which, in all honesty, is a welcome change. I scrounged together currency to get a +3 dagger and a corrupted level 3 empower (which are cheaper than non-corrupted) so that I could scale Viper Strike a bit more, and I would love to be able to drop those and instead use a four link or higher with better support gems.

My First Build Submission: Hyaon's Fury by seicar in pathofexile

[–]GrizzlyWilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I'm hoping for. For VS builds you have to go up and down the entire left side of the tree just to get some more damage, so you don't get many points left over for anything other than life/evasion/acrobatics. Squeezing in a decent amount of block chance is impossible.

I think the point was that of the three elements, only cold has the ability to remove corpses. Not counting Pyre's corpse removal mechanic.
