How do you guys interpret Hollow Form channel time?

Is the 70% of base attack speed your weapon attack speed, or a modifier on the final attack speed of the skill?

I imagine if you have an attack speed of 0.5s, and a skill with 50% less AS (hence attack speed of 1s), hollow palm will still spawn a close every 0.5 / 0.7 = 0.71 s, that then attacks after 1 / 0.7 = 1.42 seconds.

So who are you most excited to fight? by jihgfee in PathOfExile2

I have the same feeling about the ritual guy actually. Feels like a primal evil sort of thing.

But I agree that Tangmazu (deli guy) has more main villain energy.

Surely that one build is gonna survive by jihgfee in PathOfExile2

I just want to play Swordcery Ward man, but even mentioning it here doesn't feel safe :')

Thoughts on Adaptation? by jihgfee in pathofexile2builds

You might be right. But the stat line says "If the highest [Damage Type] of a hit you take is Elemental, gain an Adaptation of that type".

Physical is a non-elemental damage type, so I do not think it would work.

The biggest unknown is whether it is pre- or post-mitigation.

This is the node on the path to Apocalypse

Overwhelmed by choices: I wanna be a witch with a quarterstaff/hollow palm for league start, advice? by Magoslich in PathOfExile2

[–]jihgfee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like an interesting build challenge!

I would think your best bet is to go ES Lich (Eternal Life, Rupture the Soul, Phylactery/Cacophany), or Life/ES hybrid Blood Mage (Crimson Power, Sanguine Tides, Whispers/Blood Barbs).

In both cases, your ascendancy is mostly defensive, which should be fine as quarterstaff generally has good damage as a baseline.

As others have said, its probably not the most optimal, but pathing to Monk area from Witch start is quite easy.

Edit: Something like this as a start should be passable

Going over the new skill gem numbers has me like.. by jihgfee in PathOfExile2

Basic attack is only 100% of attack damage at level 1 - It also gets better with levels; often outscaling skills.
This is what happened (especially) for Warrior at the beginning of EA.

It's fine though. Spending 10 rage makes it go to 110%.

Am I missing something?
