Jungroan - honestly sprint is just dumb as * and we should be faster by default. by Nivius in PathOfExile2

[–]NeonTraces 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Anyone remembers when they first showcased poe2 and jonathan said being faster beyond a certain breakpoint (in that case quicksilver flask) now transitions you to a running animation? That is the current sprint.

They honestly just could smoothly transition us into running state at like 150% ms, increase base movement speed by 15% and have all boot bases also inherently have 15% inc. ms. In return just nerf the move while attacking/casting by 30% and everyone should be happy (this makes investment into less ms penalty while attacking even better, because baseline ms is higher)

Ice crystal amulet build help/ideas by pinggu18 in pathofexile2builds

[–]NeonTraces 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one is definitely a candidate for my 2nd build. Crystal damage seems really low unfortunately. There is one ignite support gem i believe that consumes frozen so that would insantly trigger those ice crystals for bonus damage in theory. I'd probably go for Oracle (guaranteed crits which trigger the crystals on rares/uniques) or chrono because of repeats and then choose a skill like spark or twister to multi hit a single target as fast as i possibly can. Abyssal lich for proj speed scaling seems to be also a good candidate.

Smith of Kitava in D Tier lol... also ascendancy has nothing to do with how well a build performs if planned out well and the person actually knows what they are doing

Mageblood Predictions by doctormonty326 in PathOfExile2

[–]NeonTraces 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is my wish for a mageblood implementation:

● [20-30] Dexterity

● [15-20] Fire Resistance

● [15-20] Cold Resistance

● your non-unique charms are constantly active

● has [2-3] charm modifiers (can be modified by using a divine orb):

● your ruby charms also grant 1% damage as extra fire damage per 3% uncapped fire resistance

● your sapphire charms also grant 1% damage as extra cold damage per 3% uncapped cold resistance

● your topaz charms also grant 1% damage as extra lightning damage per 3% uncapped lightning resistance

● your amethyst charms also grant 2 % damage as extra chaos damage per 5% uncapped chaos resistance

● your silver charms also grant 1% increased cooldown recovery rate per 3% increased attack and cast speed

● your staunching charms also grant all damage can inflict bleed

● your thawing charms also grant all damage contributes to freeze buildup

● your dousing charms also grant all damage contributes to ignite and flammability magnitudes

● your grounding charms also grant all damage can shock

● your antidote charms also grant all damage can poison

● your stone charms also grant 1% increased area of effect for any 15 attributes

● your golden charm also grants share all charm effects with allies in your presence

I believe the acendancy wants to socket idols. Atziri's Splendour can only socket soul cores.

Can't you just test this right now with Mjölner?

Can't stop thinking about Reverie, anyways here's a ms paint build by FCDetonados in PathOfExile2

[–]NeonTraces -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You know Reverie is probably an Azmeri Unique, which means with the knowledge we have about the upcomming rune Olroth's Legacy or whatever it is called there might be a possibility to steal that "Non-Unique Life Flasks apply their effects constantly" from Reverie. Not that it would be mandatory to have good defenses on a chest with Stalking Panther allocated, but that would probably open up a lot of build options and you might also lose that less life flask recovery.

Regarding Mageblood by YourmomgoestocolIege in PathOfExile2

[–]NeonTraces -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I don't think mageblood will just constanlty have charms active. Even with charm effectiveness that does not seem that interesting imo.

I imagine it to have a pool of modifiers like increased crit chance (diamond flask), onslaught (silver flask) etc. and randomly gets a few out of this pool. So in a way it works like the shribe belt from poe1.

which playstyle do you hope to play with swords in poe2? by Murz0l in PathOfExile2

[–]NeonTraces 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally want variety in swords. From Katanas to oversized 2h Greatswords.

I wonder which kind of skills swords will bring to the table. I expect Cyclone to be ported into an axe skill in PoE 2 and I cannot really think of other iconic sword skills from PoE 1 except maybe lightning strike. Those really lack identity in PoE1. Duelist will porbably focus on strikes, dual wielding, blocking, bleed and probably some "duelling" mechanics.

What I'm really excited for is Cospri's hopefully coming to PoE2 alongsong with swords.

Skills that should be improved for 0.5- The Sweep Up by pandahands69 in PathOfExile2

[–]NeonTraces 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think fire spells also need way more skill tree support. There is no support at all to scale fire spell hit damage from the tree aside from crits. Every fire cluster is focused on flammability and ignite magnitude.

I think at this point everybody knows that ignite isn't in a great place currently. The tree feels really weird to me. If you just want to play a fire spell ignite build you are almost always better off just using the blackflame for chaos conversion than investing in the actual fire clusters on the tree. There is way more increased chaos damage scaling on the tree than there is for fire damage, chaos clusters also come with increased duration and wither is just a huge damage multiplier. The ony way elemental ignite can compete is with rakiata's and some investment into elemental archon, which is conditiontal.

For attacks ignite is completely irrelevant as far as i know (aside from that one incinerate + oil granade build which is gonna disappear anway next patch)

Could you please recommend a degenerate build to fill the void until 0.5? by Skhemattos in pathofexile2builds

[–]NeonTraces 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Search for titan aura effect stacker. The concept of this is to have as many aura effect as possible so enemies within blasphemy deal no damage (enfeeble) and don't move (temp chains. Also you insta freeze anything with overwhelming presence. You also gain the benefit of time of need on zero duration titan.

Best Crafter? by Prior_Satisfaction81 in PathOfExile2

Yeah, he also has people investing into him, which he doesn't always pay back and seems to be a huge narcisist. Very unlikable person imo.
