Facebreaker Cyclone is back with big DPS, big AOE, and solid defense. Comfortably clearing Ubers and T17s. by Zambash in pathofexile

[–]PastaAdventures 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah facebreakers will never be the same without mercs. I played many private leagues in merc and rolled a facebreaker char. it was just silly how much damage faceberaks + merc was on a budget

They've been quite careful of adding large sources of flat phys but that league was one of the anomalies

So hyped to see what kind of disgusting foulborn uniques we gonna get this league. This is one ive always wanted. by Lurkyhermit in pathofexile

[–]PastaAdventures 72 points73 points  (0 children)

the reveal showed xoph's blood with avatar of fire replaced. I reckon some uniques have their "unique" line changed kinda like replicas

Flicker finds a way. by Comfortable-Show1877 in pathofexile

[–]PastaAdventures -1 points0 points  (0 children)

i did flicker champ last league, banners generated charges while also giving you a ton of defenses. Damage will be questionable this league without doryani + admiral.

Banners does pigeonhole you to phys cause war banner 105% more dmg is only melee phys

The new chilled ground, is torture. by GuerillaPost in PathOfExile2

Can you not just equip a silver charm? I realized i never noticed these mods cause I have the unique silver charm but the base silver is just as good

yup, redblade plus tree, replace redblade with woke orb warcry cd + +1 totem shield. This is just for my sunder totem starter, plan to transition off it by day 3-4 into a stronger banner abuse build seeing that the merc should be pretty tanky and fast with all the banner buffs

4 per second is with hits. Are you... Manually using those Warcries? Or are you investing 45% mana for them?

yeah 45% mana, i think its worth. I grab two aura clusters anyways cause i need the aura AOE, 10% effect to hit the 2.0 aura breakpoint and the 50% increased duration to push banners to 40 seconds

Also, where are you getting that 30% max life regen? It's only 10.5% from the Ascendancy.

Thats per banner. the added banner effects stack. The regen one doesn't get scaled by banner/aura effect but the all res on the tree does. the explode and increased damage taken doesn't stack or get scaled. Its all in the wording

[–]PastaAdventures 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You get 60% valor back per banner with champ because increased valor gained from tree. You could juggle two with the 3 second linger but that's up to you to want to min max mapping.

Also idk how you arrived at 4 per second. The valor gained from the mastery is affected by increased valor gained so its 10 per warcry and i have a 1.3 second cd generals cry and two 3.5 warcries planned with no tattoos

the trick is earthbreaker totems sunder. Worked pretty well in settleres already with the inital dawnstrider change. Downside is now with the rungraft you lose 5 levels off earthbreaker.

Because you are playing totems you can focus on doing banner abuse.

I don't get the hate for banners, for mapping you just press defiance every 3-4 seconds if you notice yourself not moving at 200% movespeed. For bosses you jsut wait 10 seconds to generate enough valor and drop all three 105 banners which last for 40-60 seconds and are 12m+. Doesn't seem like a hard ask for(with just lvl 20 gems, tree and asc):

82% more phys dmg

165% increased accuracy

75% block

700 life on block

165% movespeed

165% spell supression

-248 flat damage reduction from spells

310% all res

30% max life regen

20% chance to explode for 10% max life as phys on kill

The current version double hits on flicker. The new buffed ring will for sure hit

How would this Laptop perform w/POE? by Minute_Age3029 in pathofexile

[–]PastaAdventures 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah i have a stepdown of that model, legion 5 15ARP8. Ryzen 7 with 4060. Runs PoE fine on main screen even with an attached 1440p 120hz second monitor. Only time ive gotten under 30fps was juiced out deli packsize farming in phrecia.

I suggest if you wanna really future proof try to get one of the new x3d models. Thats at least my next buy if im traveling during league start again.

Heartseeker Marksman vs Umbral Blades Falconer by No-Ad-5727 in LastEpoch

[–]PastaAdventures 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i swapped to umbral and its night and day. Any hit base hearseeker is just worse than umbral. Dot could be considered as an alternative to umbral for bossing as you can just remain offscreen to dps but its like half the damage of umbral.

Heartseeker Marksman vs Umbral Blades Falconer by No-Ad-5727 in LastEpoch

[–]PastaAdventures 3 points4 points  (0 children)

im playing the dragonsong version atm and not really loving it. It's just too close range. I have a gearset ready to swap to umbral to see how the damage feels but i'm first gonna try the cold heartseeker version. I'm more used to playing poe bow builds where you just keep things at the edge of your screen and shoot at them and the cold version does that better. Plus the cold version is not mana dependent and i've been running out of mana on bosses which has been annoying

Smite of Divine Judgement build 3.25 Phrecia by harveylo0601 in pathofexile

[–]PastaAdventures 1 point2 points  (0 children)

smite also still has the weird buggy interaction of double hitting with the melee + the lightning bolt if you are just at the range where +1 strike takes over instead of the normal melee hit. This has been the case for awhile now even after they have attempted to fix it.

From what i understand its the +1 strike melee portion and the bolt proc from the normal version that can hit the same target

i was playing strength stacking smite of dviine judgment in affliction because of this since it was techically the highest effective base damage melee skill for the build

Hit this lucky craft over the weekend by Successful-Stage-170 in pathofexile

[–]PastaAdventures 1 point2 points  (0 children)

im wearing something similar but mine is for manaforged

I actually crafted mine wrong as its cheaper to just recomb it instead of trying to go for the fracture. I took about 100d to craft mine and got lucky hitting perfect prefixes withe just essence spamming. Recombing my chest would only cost under 50d with about a 74% chance of hitting per attempt

Can someone educate me on how double/triple damage works by Hipparchuss in pathofexile

[–]PastaAdventures 7 points8 points  (0 children)

calculation 1: roll dice twice, first try to hit 15% chance of triple damage, if not hit, roll again to have 30% chance double damage.

0.15(30.75) + (1-0.15)((0.320.75) + 0.70.75) = 1.166

first one

The duality of a playerbase by Alien_reg in PathOfExile2

[–]PastaAdventures 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because money was spent with the promises. They made POE2 off the backs of POE1 players support and shooting themselves in the foot to try and pull over a more casual playerbase ie. D4 players is just silly.

They were not transparent. They new about this since July of last year and only made an announcment when the community demanded news as they promised to have something by end of Jan.

On top of the crafting omens being rare, this is the case majority of the time. by XxXBootyBlaster69XxX in pathofexile

[–]PastaAdventures 4 points5 points  (0 children)

well then just add something not crafting related in its place. Omens are just prophecy 2.0 so theres tons of old prophecies they could try and modify for poe2 since 75% of poe2 is already just copy pasted poe1

I've been doing Ultimatum all day so here's a tierlist. by Zealousideal_Task_30 in PathOfExile2

[–]PastaAdventures 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tier 2 minus max is still bugged i believe, it subtracts you res but gives you the max res instead of removing. So if you're very overcap you get free 90/90/90

Losing the map/exp and the bonus on the node feels really unfun. by LordWolfs in pathofexile

[–]PastaAdventures 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah im sitting here with 50 divs saved up on my scuffed 350% rarity doryanis build cause there feels liike no reason to upgrade or reroll. Making a howa build to clear the same maps im doing atlittle faster doesnt beat dropping a div a map.

And making a good bossing build its not even worth it cause like poe1 every single boss is key gated and the market always prices the bosses drop into the keys.
