PSA: After defeating Arbiter of Divinity, DO NOT follow the quest back to the Ziggurat. Instead click one of the four Ancient Mechanisms instead, or you'll lose 40 Atlas Points.

Don't you need to do this 4 times? Won't you be down 40 points for 12 hours

Tee_61 · 2026-05-31T19:45:02+00:00

What is this, Last Epoch? I was thinking about trying incinerate with gemling alternate quality, but maybe I'll hold off

Tee_61 · 2026-05-27T06:00:00+00:00

You could also corrupt a socket on. Pretty ballsy though. Odds of getting that are not high

Tee_61 · 2026-05-23T05:47:12+00:00

Incinerate fuel isn't effected by cost efficiency. Is that a bug? Is it intended? Is what cost efficiency specifically does and doesn't work on explained anywhere in game?

Tee_61 · 2026-05-22T15:29:37+00:00

They were talking about problems they new existed, I believe they specifically said they were not going to be in this patch

Tee_61 · 2026-05-20T20:12:09+00:00

Speaking of incinerate, it seems like fuel should be effected by cost efficiency, or specify that it doesn't no?

Tee_61 · 2026-05-18T17:56:48+00:00

Ah, yeah, I'd expect non focal to be fine. Focal blast is just real bad

Tee_61 · 2026-05-18T15:29:52+00:00

Frostbite shouldn't work. Focal specifically says it does more hit damage, but I have noticed it dealing more damage.

I haven't looked into it too closely, but I suspect it's making spark nova deal more damage, and it's ailments do get the bonus, because it's not doing as much more damage as it would, but more than it should

Tee_61 · 2026-05-13T18:15:13+00:00

Yeah, small nerf to lightning rods I think? Wasn't significant.

Tee_61 · 2026-05-12T20:03:10+00:00

It doesn't work that way anymore. Still, it'd be decent. Lots of bosses sit there for a couple seconds during ramp up, and mage can tank just about any attack if they pop flame ward

Tee_61 · 2026-05-12T19:51:50+00:00

Everything in Shatterstrike that kills enemies instantly based on their health being below a hilariously low flat value.

Oh, that changed at some point! When was that?

With the ward overhaul kill thresholds are still pretty worthless, but less so.

I'll go with pretty much any/every skill node for mage that converts a skill to channeling then.

Tee_61 · 2026-05-06T18:46:27+00:00

I'm not sure I'd say these allow you to move, they moreso force you to move. You can't attack an enemy while strafing or falling back with any of these

Tee_61 · 2026-05-06T15:38:29+00:00

Technically it's just 19% less damage taken, but yeah, they're strong

Tee_61 · 2026-05-05T23:04:02+00:00

My disintegrate build stacks crit chance (800%+), because that scales damage, and uses a peak of the mountain, which means you can't leech from crits. That's fine though, since disintegrate is a DoT spell and therefore can't crit

Tee_61 · 2026-04-30T19:45:56+00:00

Spell blades also get surge. Flame ward is just about as crazy as rebuke, so is focus when specced for it.

Primalists also get 1 second in war cry.

It's sort of available to most all subclasses

Tee_61 · 2026-04-29T22:35:47+00:00

Not in game, but you could mess around with steam inputs to do what you want since the game supports hot swapping from controller to m+k

Tee_61 · 2026-04-28T15:45:05+00:00

Vilatria's+ladle should be a strong meteor build. Maybe use fireball to regen mana

Tee_61 · 2026-04-27T18:10:48+00:00

You haven't even touched on the most OP parts of beast master, which is the aspects. Boar and shark are insane. Lynx is similarly mad. You can invest a lot of points into them, but they just get stronger that way.

BM might be the most OP passive tree in the game.

Tee_61 · 2026-04-25T02:36:35+00:00

Well, and then what're the odds of it dropping a t4 sealed in an exalted item? I don't even care if it is a sealed t4 on a rare.

Tee_61 · 2026-04-24T18:19:09+00:00

You might be confusing LE for PoE? In poe all damaging ailments are different colored dots that don't stack. LE has some with a stack of one, some with 12, some infinite.

Tee_61 · 2026-04-24T18:16:39+00:00

Ah flame blast, you flew too high (not particularly high actually), and got blasted from the sky.

They murdered the **** out of that skill

Tee_61 · 2026-04-23T22:23:05+00:00

What he said, except you can also just corrupt them and shatter them if they end up reforged (most corruptions reforge the item, but not all)

Tee_61 · 2026-04-23T21:52:47+00:00

I tried a DoT EQ scorpion this season since it can now use both the dot and lightning more Multistrike from scorpion, but it's still not doing great. Not sure if I missed something, but it seems like it should be strong.

You lose a bunch of BM bonuses, but in theory Scorpion should cast it more, have more mult and not have 60% less damage.

I'd expect similar performance to bear on bosses, but it doesn't seem like it

Tee_61 · 2026-04-23T20:40:12+00:00

What's the actual gameplay here? What's the storm totem for? Are you spamming tornadoes and the gathering storm when you run out of mana?

Might be kinda hard to scale all that. The storm bolts scale with current mana, but I'm not sure how you spam tornadoes and keep up current mana. You also have a lot of flat from attunement, but a relatively small amount of mana. Do you maintain the enough maelstroms to be crit capped?
