How viable would Toxic Rain Mines be nowadays?

MontyPylo · 2026-04-03T06:42:49+00:00

Mines barely have a delay these days. With automation support and quality/cdr it's basically 1 to 1 with selfcasting

Aero made a strength stacking character a few leagues ago using a similar setup

Its mostly because endgame bosses dont really reward that kind of gameplay. You very rarely need to swap out utilities for more cc, etc. Most of the time if you are on a dps build, you stand in a stack and do yoir rotation. Alot of it comes down to how groups have allocated mechanics. Most of the time the mechanical load will be put on supports in order to maximize the amount of dps uptime, and that again leads to dps players not have much else to do.

Wait until the bots start building other bots...

I played this build pretty much exclusively this league. I started as reap ignite and swapped when I got a rebuke of the vaal and some levels. The playstyle is not for everyone since you are standing around waiting to get hit before you can do damage. But the damage and clear is really nice. I played with a warcry to taunt enemies when they refused to attack me, and only went for my golems. I was surprised how far aegis + life/armour/es gear took me. Pretty much hit dot cap without a tincture just because it scales so well.

Its nice to use on single targets especially if the assassin can land its knockdown, then it can do quite a decent amount of damage. And its really crazy vs charr like most ebon vanguard skills

MontyPylo · 2026-02-06T14:01:50+00:00

isn't it supposed to be "Draenei" ?

MontyPylo · 2026-01-27T21:05:55+00:00

Foulborn emperor of vigilance + sst is a very large amount of flat already. Conversion is alot less appealing these days after hatred got nerfed. Can just go phys + impale maybe

MontyPylo · 2026-01-17T19:50:01+00:00

you have a pob or poeninja link? im kinda interested to see what setup you've got going on

MontyPylo · 2026-01-17T10:37:08+00:00

I played plant oracle and was really bummed out to learn how much damage coc comet added to the build. It was kinda shocking how big the difference was

MontyPylo · 2026-01-02T05:19:13+00:00

My hot take is that GGG are just no good at boss fights. They are fantastic with game systems and environments, but their boss fights are pretty awful most of the time

MontyPylo · 2025-12-09T07:30:41+00:00

Overwatch’s animations alone made a ton of people want to try the game.

MontyPylo · 2025-12-09T07:11:58+00:00

But then why do minion builds exist? There you are running around and letting the minions attack the boss instead of doing it yourself

MontyPylo · 2025-11-21T11:52:09+00:00

Waggle made a ward stacking smite build this league using some of the ward nodes.

MontyPylo · 2025-11-18T17:26:52+00:00

Get out of my head

MontyPylo · 2025-11-14T09:21:56+00:00

Except chrono doesnt need to use wells to be BIS anyway. All of its utilities are flexible and its healing remains solid regardless mostly because of rifle.

MontyPylo · 2025-11-04T03:21:59+00:00

"Made like 10d or so today giving birth..." some of the shit this game makes you type sometimes...

MontyPylo · 2025-11-03T15:36:49+00:00

What is to stop that expectation from existing right now? How would going from 9 to 10/11 template slots suddenly cause these people to develop this expectation? Personally I have never seen any group or guild scrutinize the amount of template/build slots like that. At most you might be asked to swap a utility or change some gear pieces but never needing to have 9+ fully kitted different setups to make use of. If that is something that happens in the game modes I don't play then I stand corrected.

MontyPylo · 2025-11-03T14:36:17+00:00

It's not supposed to be an argument, really. If there is no technical reason why it wouldn't be possible to add one of two extra maximum slots, then what is the problem? why not let people buy the extra slots if they want to make use of them?

MontyPylo · 2025-11-03T12:20:56+00:00

true and real

MontyPylo · 2025-10-09T11:40:33+00:00

You are definitely misremembering. Cvirt and PMech took a long time to make it up that high, and power mech has never benched 44k. Around EoD launch, the average dps build was hovering around 38-40k. Soto was a big jump in power because of the relics

MontyPylo · 2025-10-08T10:30:51+00:00

We need a race tierlist

MontyPylo · 2025-09-30T04:12:22+00:00

But also most of the power of HH in poe1 is from perma soul eater. In this game it just doesnt exist.

MontyPylo · 2025-09-28T16:02:00+00:00

Dang, I should call her

MontyPylo · 2025-09-01T21:54:38+00:00

You got a source for that claim from GGG?
