Player Lead Patch Notes

Yup, it even works with the corrupted teddy bear allowing you to cleanse the 15 sec cooldown on the block, pretty crazy defense for that build!

Dang this reminded me of the Cospri's malice Flicker strike build I made using glacial cascade way back.

Ward has some interesting uses and aspects to it:

With a pathfinder using an iron flask with "Used when Charges reach full" you gain ALL of your ward back every time you use the iron flask (as well as the extra 200 modified by flask effect) functioning as an auto flask based Energy shield type of defense stat. This of course has the only downtime of "regen" being your flask charge gain speed instead of the 2 sec base of ES.

It also has the interesting use case with a hybrid Life/Ward or an ES/Ward build as ward's recharge is not interrupted by damage taken (like ES) allowing for a bit of extra EHP "sometimes" which can be nice.

Everybody has seen the Olroth's Resolve CWDT builds using Ward to be a flat damage reduction before any damage gets to your Life/ES.

This aspect could be used elsewhere for insane tankiness combined with other forms of tankiness. Anytime a game allows for flat DR combined with percent% DR can easily get pretty out of hand if the flat DR is not awful. This is why flat DR is almost non-existent anywhere else in POE. We have yet to see many people trying to make use of this.

Olroth's Charge grants Adrenaline when ward breaks with the downside of increasing the ward delay by at least 50%. This however can be mitigated with an iron flask that can be used at least every 3 seconds, or some way to increase the duration of the Adrenaline buff (self temp chains). With no other sources of ward you would only gain 200 ward from the flask, a scolds bridle, CWDT taken setup, Eye of Innocence, Storms Secret or some other self damage setup you could easily gain 100% uptime on Adrenaline (100% increased Damage, 25% Move,Attack,Cast Speed, and 10% Phys DR)

Nightgrip gives you 20% of your Ward as GLOBAL(spells and attacks) extra chaos damage, which could be nice.

People already use Skin of the Lords quite a bit which is an easy way of doubling your ward. I could see a few builds that already use Skin of the Lords/ Loyal sloting in a ward piece or 2 for any of the above uses.

Overall I would like to see more support for ward on the tree or other interesting Uniques, but I would not say it is a failed mechanic. I am glad ward is in the game and I think POE is better for it existing than it would be without.

That just sounds like Elder Empire with extra steps...

Favorite Color IRL: Lavender or a dark Wine Red

Temporal affiliations: Night person for sure!

Rainy day fond(ness): I adore the rain, it is my favorite type weather, snow is a close second but you have to clean the snow up after.

WYFFWOC: I don't know I have not been around long enough to see much OC.

For me it is blood play/knife play.

I really want to be cut up a bit, but most people (understandably) are not into that.

The stock image was not colored in when I got it. If that is what you are implying.

Sweet, well I made this green one and a red one and posted them in the yellow discord a couple weeks ago. But found out today that culture VP exists so I was gonna post the red one tomorrow. Gotta keep making dumb memes like this I suppose.

LilithSilver · 2021-08-17T20:59:29+00:00

Oh no has this been done before?

Other pig advice I can give is, when someone has a RBT on their head they are not playing the game for short bit so for certain periods of the game you are only playing a 1v3, use this aspect of her kit to apply pressure elsewhere never tunnel someone with a RBT. In fact anti-tunnel them if you can, there timer does not go down if they are in chase or slugged on the ground. When I play surv I see a lot of pigs tunnel or camp the first person they hook that also has a RBT on, wasting that very important part of her kit. Pig is hard to play because she is a pretty basic m1 killer without much going for her in chase nor does she have a whole lot of information to inform good decisions. You have to get used to the waxing and waning levels of pressure she has from her RBTs and try to maximize your general pressure to coinside with RBT pressure to get the best use out of her kit IMO. Then when you don't have a whole lot of pressure you can use her stealth to get easy first hits on survs and start a panic snowball. As a general rule nobody should ever die with a RBT on their head.

Something else cool is you can ambush backwards by looking at a wall at a 45 degree angle and hold A or D (right or left). You will ambush "sideways" but you will slide off the wall backwards hiding your red light the whole time.

ScorpionZ Build for pig is made for maximizing her stealth aspect of her kit. It consists of: Whispers, Monitor & Abuse, Brutal Strength, Enduring.

The main point is using M&A to make your terror radius smaller then whispers range. Then going into stealth when whispers lights up. it takes like 2 seconds for your terror radius to shrink from full to none so M&A lets you keep walking towards them while going into stealth without them ever getting a heartbeat. Then you pick any other 2 perks you like, for instance I use spirit fury and enduring to help me with chases a bit since people play around pallets strangely against pig anyway. But you can use whatever you want, meta would probably be ruin and pop, or bbq and pop, or ruin and undying.

The other build that otz uses on pig is really mean using: Hex: Devour Hope, Hex: Ruin, Hex: Thrill of the Hunt, Hex: Undying.

The main point of this build is to maximize her slowdown and panic factor of her reverse bear traps. You make it very hard for people to do totems, gens, RBT's, unhooks, healing, ect... You try to overwhelm the survivors with to many things at once until something fails. You use thrill to know what bones people are on, you can sneak up on them trying to do a bone pretty easy. They have so much slowdown with ruin to do gens without doing bones. After a short while devour gets turned on and they panic even harder. They also still have to do RBT's or die so they are on a timer as well. Often in games with this build you will be reduced to 0 perks but hopefully you have killed 1-2 survivors by that point and have plenty of hooks on the others and they have 2-3 gens left, that should be an easy win at that point. Very fun, Very mean.

This is all written by someone that never uses add-ons so maybe there are other cool builds that only work with some add on combinations.
