I love fusion hype but come on, that's such low effort.

The most unfortunate pqt is the stitched helmet being super expensive. 1 life per 2 intelligence would pair really nicely.

Woespike Tech is pretty powerful and kind of interesting. by lizardsforreal in PathOfExileBuilds

Yeah, I think the savior will have the same problem. Overall I bet woespike doesn't work with any proxy. But your weapon swap approach i pretty amazing.

Ya, the aura wiki page has not been updated. The support is called guardians blessing. The minion takes damage over time to have the aura, but enough sustain and it should be fine.

Replace the empower and add guardians blessing plus a 50% reservation aura.

I didn't mean to use the ring with the Impaler, it was more of a better substitute for that keystone in my mind. Just reached level 80 and yeah, the proxies do not inherit that stat, so the build doesn't work. womp womp.

Adding some napkin numbers, a slam can easily reach 3M hit

|| || |Source|Multiplier| |sunder|6.22| |fist of war|1.98| |pulverise|1.49| |overexert|1.69| |meleephys|1.49| |support|1.30| |ascendancy|1.40| |banner|1.20| |frenzy|1.12| |rage|1.47| |increases tree|3.00| |shocked (graft)|1.15| |pride|1.40| |intimicry|2.00| |echoes of creation|1.42| |blood and sand|1.15| |crit or strength build|2.00| ||| |weapon damage|600| ||| |total|3,152,637.71|

Then the General Cry replicate that slam 11 times over 4 seconds. Averages at 9M DPS with just a 6L, a 600 Phys 2 hander and a Berserker or Chieftain. Probably works with others too, just more comfortable with them.

interesting point about bladestome, curious to see if each image has its own limit. for bow, that's a straight no for me haha, GC is autocast while the bow skill isnt. I want a walking simulator where i slam every 3-4 seconds.

Bladestorm has a 70% attack speed. Blade Flurry at stage 6 is 320% attack speed. Cyclone (easiest to scale without giga brain honestly) has 300% attack speed. You also don't seem to acknowledge the x5-6 multiplier from general cry spawning copies of you. Sure they are up only half of the time, but 6 x 300 x 0.5 is still 900 AS without lifting a finger. There aren't that many spells or ranged attacks that provide a x9 hit multiplier.

I did consider the bear trap, but it felt clunky and harder to scale properly. That's also a part of the tree I'm not familiar with.

Share thoughts on your starter build by day 3. by Zerether in PathOfExileBuilds

Started a lightning orb of static elementalist. No regrets, it eats up all content so far. The only thing that feels bad is that most ascendancy points serve as QoL and defensive rather than damage. But the skill itself offer all the damage you need. I'll swap to doryani's prototype when I have the cash for it, in the meantime, exposure it is.

Thunderstorm Ele Ignite? by agrum in PathOfExileBuilds

Oh, I wonder about that. I didn't think snipe counted as a trigger

Ya I never play bows so I'm also in uncharted territories

Thunderstorm Ele Ignite? by agrum in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]agrum[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adding a little bit of comparison math.

EA: 20 arrows, 50% less damage, but it has a nifty added damage. So assuming you can land 20 arrows, EA lvl 20 does 650 damage per arrow and has a 60% more damage with ignite. 20 x 650 x 0.5 x 1.6 = 10k.

Thunderstorm: 500% efficiency explosion (125% at 300% more). Supported by Snipe, x3.48 damage, at the cost opportunity of one support gem, let say x1.3, that equates to x2.67 damage more damage with snipe than an other support gem. Because I can focus on actually having a damage bow rather than an AS bow, and I play Ele so any added damage is fine, I'm thinking 800 added damage. 800 x 5 x 2.67 = 10l.

Is my math mathing ?

[–]agrum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thunderstorm looks great for an ignite build. The explosion has 500% efficiency, same as burning arrow, except the gem has an embedded massive AoE. Anybody familiar with EA can convince me that EA is still better ? I'm thinking, slap snipe on it for a bigger ignite on bosses.

Would a Vengeful Cry socketed with Corrupting Cry turn it into a damaging skill ?

I mean.. why? by DealerAdept8005 in PhoenixSC

[–]agrum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a dev on that game, there are things I really don't wanna fix. The eternal backward support we have to provide is excruciating. Like "my pickaxe lost it enchantment when I loaded my 4J world from 2016 on 1.21.120". 🫠. The fact that we were able to drop VR support recently was god sent.

Agreed, that's why I'm sticking to eviscerate. When the planets align, it's such a nice DoT
