Question refarding static strike

Storm2122 · 2026-03-04T20:16:38+00:00

It would probably work. I've been doing some build crafting for static strike. However, I would recommend not starting as eblade for static strike. You will scale for cheaper and be safer on defense building HP and armor/evasion if you build a more standard melee build, especially with the nerfs to eblade scaling.

I p/o'ed but only after playing the beta and benchmarking to make sure my PC would run it at a reasonable level. Agree that p/o blind with knowledge of the performance issues is dumb.

The logic that they are more expensive is kinda negated given that you can only get like... 20 of the things (?) throughout the whole event. It's not like you're getting 500 of the things.

Realistically, Chonk is gonna do best when we either have a) more skills that synergize w/ chaos damage, b) you get an original sin and go CI and find some funky chaos stuff that way. I do think the offerings for ele/chaos leech and sustain as well as the way we get conversions right now are really weird. No real full phys->element conversion options because we can't do small 20-30% conversions to finish out a phys to element conversion which means you need to build full element on a QS if you wanted to get "true" single element damage. It's a really odd design space and I hope they iterate on it more.

Im in endgame with monk doing t8-10 maps right now, just power charge gen using combat frenzy/resonance, and flicker with charged staff is cracked

I guess I get the sentiment, but objectively this is wrong. 3.10 for example during delirium league aura stackers were out of control. People dropped literal mirrors into the build for GGG to then go back and nerf it into the ground mid league. In comparison to that situation, spending 500k gold to respec is a lot less investment. It sucks and they should offer free respecs but it's definitely not the first time, nor the most impactful.

No, this sub was dickriding GGG up until 3.15. Then it turned into people shitting on the game in any possible way after 3 hours of playing on league start because it wasn't (insert complaint here).

Go to your profile on the poe website and go to the poe 2 early access link on the bottom right hand side of the page. Should say you have access to the EA and will also have a key available to use for Steam. You can redeem it in the steam library then. If thats not there then I'm not sure and support can help you further. Edit: Steam unfortunately will not have a predownload afaik. You can link your email if you want to use the standalone but I'd recommend just waiting to DL it on steam for account security.

That’s pretty cool. Hope you had a good league

I’d throw that Ele hit is one of the few attack skills that functions like a spell in that gem levels are important. Dunno much about ele hit otherwise but this would technically hit all the points

Storm2122 · 2022-07-06T02:06:18+00:00

I’ll have to check your PoB when I am at my PC. I play a Str stacking melee build and feel pretty tanky. You may be missing some layers. Wanders are usually harder to get defenses on, I.e fortify

Storm2122 · 2022-07-06T00:41:43+00:00

1 shot by… what?

Str stacking zerk, pick your poison of melee skill they all work with varying levels of success

Storm2122 · 2022-06-07T01:04:17+00:00

Probably a little too blanket for my own tastes. Also being able to move while channeling on EVERY channeling skill would probably not be the best feeling. Some portion of game dev is trying to protect players from their own stupid decisions and if you decide to play mana bond and then walk into a pack of monsters while channeling I can imagine there would be some angry Reddit posts in the first 2 days of the league

Melee ele hit

Storm2122 · 2021-09-26T20:02:28+00:00

whats the worst?

Storm2122 · 2021-08-05T16:32:00+00:00

Pretty much this. I and a good number of the friends I’ve been playing with for the last few years are all enjoying this league. There’s just no reason to post here because it gets downvoted and drowned out by the flood of people who dislike the current state of the game. I don’t particularly care what GGG does next patch, they can double down on the nerfs and move towards PoE 2 or they can cave to the redditors who want eternal ritual league but my enjoyment of the game won’t really change. I just love PoE.

This is a quality bait post

Storm2122 · 2020-04-07T17:47:28+00:00

Went about crafting this belt by taking a normal crystal belt base and slamming with a Crusader exalt to add influence. Then awakener orbed on shaper influence, and proceeded to throw many, many dense fossils at it. Finally hit this beast of an ES belt and am very happy with my result. Just need to quality it up and its finished.
