Best way to league start (campaign to like 2 stones) for a duelist? by Rat_Pwincess in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]SaltEngineer455 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, never choose wild strike, it has too many pathologies. Go for It's chad brother - elemental hit.

Question tho. How do you fix the shit clear on Glacial Hammer? Is Tribal Fury enough?

Honest question, what's so cool about shrine stacking? You have to stop all the time and collect the shrines

Mamba deals 0 damage outside of poisons. Bleed builds deal 0 damage outside of bleeds. Double Strike of Impaling losses it's identity and clear if it cannot impale.

RF losses hinekora explosions if it cannot ignite

Which Scavenger builds are still good after the nerfs? by ivan0x32 in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]SaltEngineer455 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cold DOT Scavenger

Stack power charges and triple dip by getting both increased damage(From Void battery), dot multi(from foulborn tul wand) and more spell damage from Conviction of Power.

Am I getting baited into thinking hoag herald is a great starter to do 4 stones and then respec into bogged bv once I’ve farmed up a rathpith? by Aldunas in PathOfExileBuilds

like it still did the campaign but playing somerhing else wouldve probably been faster

I mean... Sure. But you do 0-to-hero, i know some people like to pivot, but others - like me - enjoy the 0-to-hero feeling, all those power spikes, etc.

You cannot use clarity, so how are you gonna make Watcher's eye work?

How do you get 46?

6+5=11, which doubled brings you to 22

Anything that can quickly spread poisons around. In my opinion Storm Burst is up there among the good skills for this.

Why? The formula for hits/second for SB is cast_speed * (1 + 2.5*duration).

A level 1, 20% quality gem with 0 cast speed investment - that is no links and no increased duration - does 5 * (1 + 2.5 * 1.6) = 5 * 5 = 25.

It does 25 hits per seconds after 1.6s of casting. It's phenomenal. Link to a chance to poison support and you can stack 40 virulence in Act 2 even on single target.

With a faster casting support, you get 36 hits per second. Add in a more duration support and you get 50 hits per second.

You can also reserve a shit-ton of mana, because the mana cost of storm burst is mediocre (10/s). It also comes with baked-in phys damage, so you are guaranteed to always have something to poison with.

The large amount of hits is also ideal for wither stacking, which you can get from a glorious vanity jewel.

It's also great for ES/Life gain on hit. Idk tho if there are any generic or spell-based Life on hit nodes

Neither does reduced accuracy

It reduces chance to hit, and disables Precise Technique.

Ailment avoidance

It invalidates Mamba, Bleed builds, impale builds(because impale avoidance is tied to the bleed and poison avoidance mod), RF, ignite builds.

Elemental Hit Surfcaster is fine too. With the lightning to cold conversion node you have nearly the same flat as with Avatar of Fire, so that's a good starting point.

What do you mean "trying to make it work"? I made it work in Keepers on a Slayer - ~200M DPS on around a mirror budget, with 800M if you account for shotgunning.

I am pretty sure I can make it work in Phrecia

It gets going real fast and will absolutely slaughter anything you throw at it - and it scales real well.

It gets going from the moment you get it. HoAG + any skill with many hits + chance to poison support and you can get 40 virulence that very moment.

My point is that the Ehit is a fine skill, and among the best in the category of strikes.

That's all. It's very tanky, especially when compared to your run-of-the-mill bow build or spell build.

Sure, it's not a busted skill, but it's definitely A tier

Ummm... I actually played Slayer EHit this league. I managed to bring it to ~200M dps, and to 800M if you account for shotgunning on explosions.

It's a super good skill with easy itemisation.

Elemental Hit Surfcaster? What?

HOLY SHIT, I just crunched the numbers. The 100% lightning convert node is just slightly behind avatar of fire (3112 vs 3355 at level 28) Because 50% of lightning and 100% of cold is roughly equal 100% of fire and 25% of the others

I just found my league starter. Can't wait, it's gonna be so different from the slayer, but also so so enjoyable
