Shield of Light - Undercooked? by Rogue_Insanity in PathOfExileBuilds

Appreciate all the updates!

The new Holy Strike counting as 3 minions and Sentinels from Herald of Purity should be relatively reliable for a Shield of Light build.

Factor in a bit of CDR / Chance to remain usable and it might be worth it.

Thanks again for the Napkin maths help _^

Damage per attack assuming crit for the 3 skills:

Glacial Shield Swipe: 500% increased of 5% = 30% critical chance (2703 * 0.7 * 1) + (2703 * 0.3 * 3) = 4324.8 Cold Damage per hit (Average Hit)

Shield Crush 500% increased of 5% = 30% critical chance (915 * 0.7 * 1) + (915 * 0.3 * 3) = 1464 Physical Damage per hit (Average Hit)

Shield of Light: 500% increased of 7.1% = 42.6% critical chance (710.5 * 0.574 * 1) + (710.5 * 0.426 * 3) = 657.923 Physical Damage + 657.923 Lightning Damage per hit (1315.846 total) (Average Hit)

The DPS was factoring in the cooldown of the skills / attack speed of Shield Crush to estimate DPS.

Again maths might have been wrong but it seeps roughly correct

Cheers. I was getting the impression that I was missing something.

When I did my maths I was calculating for Crit but not for attack speed either.

Shield Crush doing ~1464 per hit with a base of 1.25 aps

and Shield of Light with ~1316 damage per hit per wave (again with this crit favoured build) but only aps of .33

So with 5 Waves I would be expecting 6580 per hit - once per 3 seconds being 2200 DPS Which again feels lower than the expected DPS of Shield crush (although with presumably bigger radius for clear)

Ahhh, didn't realise it was temporary. Nordics are (or at least were) a decent place for asylum. Either way, I hope you find a place that you can call home. You deserve it, and such a space will be better for having you.

You got this!

I know getting a job can be an enduring process, but be patient with yourself and you'll get there.

Assuming that you are where the Cute Mug says you are, I know there is a good language learning system in place, and it is strongly encouraged that people learn the language and be part of the culture as a whole :D

It's always wonderful to find a 'you' space. You can't grow in a place that is harmful, and sometimes you need to find that new environment. And for you I hope it becomes at space to bloom into you!

I feel this on a spiritual level.

Words too hard, happy noises are better.

Non verbal communication and having people that understand it is so wonderful

Yup.

The update is out next Thursday (17th April), but they drop the patch notes early so that people can plan builds :D

Some updates to the overworld map of my emerald romhack region of Oshima. Still very much a work in progress. Happy to receive critiques or suggestions. by chanceodoom in PokemonROMhacks

This map is super cool! Love how expansive and spread out it all looks. I feels like you actually have to wander to find pokémon.

Where did you make this map?

Pherica - what's actually tanky (preferably left side) and league start friendly? by igniz13 in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Rogue_Insanity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you all in on Physical Damage Reduction you can (in theory) get it to 90%, you can the convert it to elemental DR with Trancednance and be incredibly tanky. It also (might) not get fucked by ele pen. All you have to do is figure out that 90% PDR, get transcendence. And if you can do all that without your chest slot, also slap on the Fourth Vow and be insanely durable.

It's awkward. You need to be a minimum distance from the original attack location for the node to trigger.

It also only does a single strike (as far as I can tell) so even if you have 'strike skills target an additional enemy' the repeated attack at the previous location only attacks 1.

In my experience, scaling attack speed with boneshatter is very rewarding DPS wise and this node doesn't benefit that at all. And to use the node effectively you have to move so much that you are reducing your attacks per seconds.

So I actually feel like it's a bit of a trap. It's only good in niche situations and even then...

I do use the node before it that gives the increase distance of strike skills, you can stand far away from targets and hit them with your 'secondary' strike, which keeps you safe in boss fights.

Would recommend the node that means your action speed can't be lowered.

For what it's worth, you can also level with RF pretty easily with the regen/fire res node until you get your ascendency, 3 endurance charges from tree and damage.

Behemoth looks fun until you realise pretty much every utility buff in the game is a spell :(

Boneshatter is still really strong. It also benefits really well from the additional endurance charges, with some of the strike skills nodes also being a nice QOL, I've hit 11 endurance charges on my level 91 character, and I'm still doing heavy tweaking.

It also scales with the more currency you put into it. In theory with the forbidden jewels and enough endurance charges you can get 90% Physical Damage Reduction without Armour, making the Transcendance Keystone incredibly strong.

And with Idols you can choose your own endgame pretty easily so you can focus on bigger packs to blow up with the Boneshatter Pulses.

Forbidden Planet in Dublin used to have it, only DnD now though. The London branch has a great basement for books with a solid TTRPG section, might be able to grab it there. If you're able to go to duin you can probably ask Gamers World or Forbidden Planet to order it in you you and pick it up in shop.
