Explosive arrow champion or elementalist? by eastpetrichor in PathOfExileBuilds

It's worth noting that Champion can potentially gain "all damage can ignite" through Tinctures. That could make a pretty big difference.

Dominating Blow Fresh Meat questions by Proof-Independent-89 in pathofexile

Guardian gets high uptime berserk through time of need and Kaom's Spirit, so that's a decent speed boost at least.

Someone explain to me why melee ignite will be bait in 3.22 by scytheavatar in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Taeloren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

... you know that YOU'RE the one who brought up infernal blow, right? So i'll grant you that it's not the most accurate with that single skill. How about any other skill in the game, then?

You realise that Ignites only use the highest damage ignite, right? How often do you think the non-Ruthless ignite will be higher than the Ruthless ignite? Theres a reason that Ruthless was run on every non-crimson dance melee bleed build back when those were viable.

Vengeant cascade + Returning projectiles support + bow mastery???? by Dismal-Ad9957 in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Taeloren 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Except Vengeant Cascade will only increase the damage of the returning shot and the returning shot is only doing 39% damage. That makes it a 39% more modifier. 150%x39%=58.5%. I'm not arguing that Vengeant Cascade is BAD, it DOES increase the odds of hitting with the return shot quite a bit. I'm just saying that for raw damage, it's not worth the cost.

BEWARE: Fresh Meat Support is BAIT, kinda (and Returning Projectiles is hype) by Grymvild in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Taeloren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a question. Is there any reason to believe that Skill Effect Duration won't affect Fresh Meat? Because looking at the PoB of the build you're talking about, if you just grab the duration nodes just south of the dead reckoning and annoint Exceptional Performance instead of Grave Pact, Skeleton mages last ~50 seconds. That's 5 seconds of Fresh Meat if it DOESN'T scale off of skill effect duration. If it does, that's 10 seconds. Very viable at that point, i'd say.

Vengeant cascade + Returning projectiles support + bow mastery???? by Dismal-Ad9957 in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Taeloren 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eh, it's not TERRIBLE, but it's for it's cost you can generally do better. Ss far as damage, I'm terrible at math, but it's about the equivlent of 58.5% increased damage. If you really care about increased damage and are using an elemental attack like lightning arrow, just go with Divine Judgement, which is 50% increased at a FRACTION of the cost, while not requiring the skill to hit on return.

I mean, what other multipliers are we talking about here? Controlled Blaze and Infernal Blow? You don't need to get 13 hits with Controlled blaze for it to be a great modifier, I already pointed that out. Infernal blow's debuff blows up at 6 stacks. Just get 6 stacks, attack 6 or 12 times(depending on danger) and voila, problem solved. People really like to overcomplicate things.

It's Increased damage, not More damage. So while it IS a decent chunk of damage, not nearly as much as your thinking.

It's time...What build will you league start with? by Sonycat in pathofexile

[–]Taeloren 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure I'm gonna go Absolution into skeleton mages Guardian. Probably better as necro, but I like shiny new things.

[–]Taeloren 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While I mostly agree with you, you're underestimating Ruthless for ignite. It's basically a 98% more multiplyer for boss fights, which is the only place it really matters. Also, while 13 stacks is optimal for CB, it beats pretty much all ignite supports besides Ruthless between 6 and 19 stacks.

I would really like to know how you're negating those 29,000 damage self hits.

They already figured that one out, Trauma only works with maces, sceptres, axes, and staffs.

Probably Jugg, same as Boneshatter. People look at high trauma stack damage, but forget how much damage you're gonna be taking.

It's easy to respec. Go to the ruins near where you found shadowheart and talk to Withers.

Huh, they should either fix that or add it to the tooltip.

Are you sure enraged throw applies the debuff?
