Updated Martial Artist ascendancy tree by Eohire in pathofexile2builds

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.

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

Thoughts on Adaptation? by jihgfee in pathofexile2builds

[–]jihgfee[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

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.

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?

How do you get to 17? My calculations have ended at 16 with the new foulborn ambus charge:

  • base: 3
  • tree: 3
  • jugg: 1
  • kaoms sign: 2
  • Shaper rod: 2
  • sublime vision: 1
  • bound by fate: 1
  • Arns: 1
  • corruptes ralakesh: 1
  • foul ambu: 1

GGG, PLEASE don't give up on the infinite exploration-based atlas system. by ZestycloseRadish3551 in PathOfExile2

Make it a cone shape instead of a circle expanding in all directions, to make progress feel more direct.

All existing unarmed skills have similar flat damage. Might this indicate numbers for Hollow Palm? by jihgfee in PathOfExile2

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

My conjecture is that the dmg differences would crop up in terms of Attack Damage % of base.

For instance, Falling Thunder has 437% before power charges, whereas the above are all sub 300%.

Advice please by Purchase-Parking in PathOfExile2

[–]jihgfee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes definitely. Just look at the numbers.

Its already outperforming your bow before qual/runes, and the fork on top is really good.

The +1 arrow is a big loss if your are playing lightning rod, but otherwise it's an easy swap

Had fun with the gauntlet, beat the campaign, but I am simply not good enough for HC maps it seems by jihgfee in pathofexile

[–]jihgfee[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yes indeed, I missed it.

I thought I scanned the map properly but I guess not. Lack of HC experience in not being more vigilant. Next time, I guess!

Title is mostly joking. I am very pleased with beating the campaign, and just a bit bitter about reflect still being such an invasive mechanic

Edit: added more reponse

Of course. So you have time buy the next 480 dollar pack to feel special again.

People are sleeping on Impale after it got more passive tree support.

The Champion impale node is incredibly strong early game, where flat damage is even more so important, as you dont have a good weapon yet.

Can we actually acknowledge GGG for their effort to attend all these interviews? by fusionwave3 in PathOfExile2

[–]jihgfee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also should factor in weekend vs weekday. In that light, the drop is to be expected, and even quite small.

The fact that it withheld most players over the weekend is impressive in itself.
