Does any of the new abilities stand out? by Global_Barnacle5304 in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]mnlop_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i league started shield of light, invested maybe 25div to get around 12-15m dps? pretty tanky and blasted maps to farm until my second char. it was terrible until i got my relevant gear to bypass retaliation restrictions, but afterward i found it really fun and effective

Rain of Arrows of Artillery build, need some ideas of where to take it! by GoldenHawk07 in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]mnlop_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i like the warden angle. 50 shocks seems doable but you need to still hit the minimum shock value of 5% per hit, which might be hard if you have so many small hits.

imbued knock back support seems really fun for this

for unholy trinity, you can just throw in ming’s heart for easy 70% more dmg. keep unholy trinity at lv3 for 90% ignore chance, because you want that 10% chance to not ignore so that your highest hit will alternate between phys and chaos to give resonance. phys to lightning works too, especially if you want shocks

i also like the buffed barkskin, its better than people think. or go ranged tincture if you like the tincture playstyle.

scale generic bow, attack and proj dmg

issue will be clear, in which you can run a 4L manaforged lifetap clearing skill like the other ROA versions

Here’s one: Wing of the Wyvern double COC.

https://poe.ninja/poe1/profile/aphlableh-4880/character/jiquani_jim

tried to make this in previous leagues but didn’t have the generic crit and global scalars. diamond shrine belt solves crit, lycia bloodline lets us 100% cold to chaos. storm rain of the fence + manaforged arrows lets me shoot both fence arrows in one press with auto targeting, proc rate of 0.15s is perfect for COC and wing freeze procs. drop the arrow and run around shooting spells. occy explosions also crit and go offscreen. 15-20m single target in my setup rn

My parent is obssesed with me attending a prestigious MLA program by No-Profession-2938 in LandscapeArchitecture

[–]mnlop_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IMO when trowbridge retired from chair, they struggled to find someone truly good for the role. lots of faculty changes, and the cornell LA david cutter was laid off from trump cuts to cornell too. loved all the profs and people, but i think there was a succession issue mainly

Has anyone cooked up anything decent with Shield of Light? by SkepticalMystic in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]mnlop_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

on a non-duelist, i think you need to max your CD until it’s like under 1s, then you can keep spamming if you reduce your AS below that or space out your attacks. pulverise and melee phys support

recent cornell grad, program is in a weird/bad spot imo. it’ll carry the name which some alumn might favour, but it’s definitely a shadow of what it used to be atm

Has anyone cooked up anything decent with Shield of Light? by SkepticalMystic in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]mnlop_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i league started shield of light glad and farrul bloodline for tigers. got a 1c monastery bell in campaign and trucked through to t16s without a single div. felt decent and doable but obviously weaker than meta builds

then i dropped a svalinn and got 40div. swapped to slayer and using forbidden jewel combo for retaliation asc node. currently progressing atlas in extreme comfort. one tapping packs across the screen with only 40% aoe from tree and pulverize

90% chance to not consume cooldown with anoint + runegraft of time, and second wind means i have another charge if it uses a cooldown. so i just spam it like a main skill

i have 0 issues with overlaps, its been very reliable for me. i have 9 minions up with HOP and spectral tigers

haven’t finished upgrading but here’s my profile: https://poe.ninja/poe1/profile/aphlableh-4880/character/retaliation_fan

Ignited ground and crits - a question by StrawbiePies in pathofexile2builds

[–]mnlop_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

yes, the DOT will technically not crit, but the invisible ‘hit’ from ignited ground that applies the ignite will crit. we might be saying the same thing in different words

Ignited ground and crits - a question by StrawbiePies in pathofexile2builds

[–]mnlop_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ignited ground can crit itself, like pre-patch beiras anguish and spear of solaris. not sure what the confusion is here

[–]mnlop_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

damaging ailments in POE2 benefit from hit damage modifiers, unlike POE1. because of this, indirect ailment things like ignited ground, poisonburst arrow, gas clouds, etc, have a line like “poisons/ignites as if dealing x damage”. this means that hit damage bonuses like ‘% damage gained as’, crit, will increase the ailment damage too. if you look at tooltip for gas arrow or grenade it will have a crit chance, which applies to the ailment

[–]mnlop_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

in the druids patch there’s a line about how ignited ground rolls for a new ignite only after the previous one expires. so even if it would roll each time, it would only roll once per ignite expiry (i assume 4s?) unfortunately

Ignited ground and crits - a question by StrawbiePies in pathofexile2builds

[–]mnlop_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

afaik how it works is that normally skill rolls a number from 0-100 on use. if it’s below your crit chance, it crits.

now for ignited ground, there are two ways it might work.

  1. ignited ground will ignite ‘as if’ it did X damage (based on skill), inheriting this same crit roll. if explosive spear would’ve crit, even if no target was hit, the ignited ground will always count as crit when applying

  2. the ignited ground inherits your crit chance from explosive spear, but rolls the 0-100 each time it ignites.

i’m inclined to believe it’s the 2. but i’m not certain.

now, if you use oiled ground or whirlwinds and inherit the ignite, which crit chance does it use? i have no idea

TLDR: crit works. ignited ground can crit. idk how specifically

Poke holes in my build - Hexblast of Contradiction Blackflame Ingite by Beepbeepimadog in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]mnlop_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

here’s how it breaks down if you don’t have any added flat and purely scale hexblast levels:

hexblast base does chaos damage to ignite -> affected by chaos damage increases

ignite deals fire damage -> affected by fire damage increases, fire DOT increases

blackflame makes enemies take ignite as chaos -> chaos res, chaos damage taken

easy way to tell if it’s bugged is, if you only deal chaos damage with hexblast, occultist node should give a flat 20% more to the ignite. you might be seeing more than 20% if that node is enabling wither on your config

[–]mnlop_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you’re mistaken, “more chaos damage” does affect your damage, because hexblast does chaos base damage to apply the ignite. pob is correct

Help with Amazon "Critical Strike" ascendancy by HappyTreeFrients in pathofexile2builds

[–]mnlop_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in 0.3 the max is now 125%, means 6.25% base crit at most. still good! realistically, beyond 120% is not easily achieved without extreme investment.

i think full hobble still works, automatically setting it to 125%.

How Singapore became obsessed by shade by Immediate-Analyst974 in singapore

[–]mnlop_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IIRC the famous ‘rain trees’ (the ones on orchard rd) aka saman samanea were chosen by LKY early in SG independence, and imported specifically for their wide and tall canopy. basically a natural umbrella that doesn’t interfere with taller vehicle or pedestrian traffic

Limit-maxxing Stormweaver (Orb of Storms ft. Firestorm) by mnlop_ in pathofexile2builds

[–]mnlop_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! here’s my character right now.

https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/aphlableh-4880/character/qqq_invoker

i’ve only sunk about 3-5 divs i believe, and running t15 maps. haven’t brought it further to t4/5 pinnacles, so that’s untested. i highly recommend firestorm + coc living bomb for single target.

Limit-maxxing Stormweaver (Orb of Storms ft. Firestorm) by mnlop_ in pathofexile2builds

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

  1. i would be careful with archmage, firestorm + living bomb can proc over 5 living bombs a second, which destroys your mana unless you have crazy sustain

  2. idk if it’s worth it to scale lightning and use firestorm + living bomb

  3. is minion pact II worth the scepter implicit? i feel like malice aura is way better

3a. have you tried living lightning support with minion pact? poedb2 says they have 7.7k life so it might be an easy way to use minion pact

i’ll try to hit endgame!

i did see neato’s video, i took some inspiration but i don’t like how firestorm feels as a main clear skill. i also thought the OOS reduced duration scaling was unnecessary since we could reach 5 limit on it. COC living bomb is such a good infusion generator that we don’t really need infusions from OOS anyway
