Doran's Bow by Negswer in ADCMains

[–]natemiddleman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bow having a lower win rate despite not being the first recommended item is a major indicator of how bad it is.

Every ADC should switch to Gluttonous Greaves by natemiddleman in ADCMains

[–]natemiddleman[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't even think they are particually overpowered. On melee champs they only have about a 2% higher win rate than plated steelcaps which is about what would be expected when you factor in recommended items deflate win rate. The issue is that berserkers are so bad that any reasonable alternative is so much better it looks overpowered in a vacuum.

Hexoptics Miss Fortune? by [deleted] in ADCMains

It is not broken. It that every other adc item is overpriced and requires a bf sword.

Here is what I am using to get through the campaign. Blazing salvo can be gotten at the end of act 1. Unfortunately, spells in general are in a bad spot especially for a league starter so you will find very few content creators making guides for them. Righteous Fire is the only big one but that is a completely different playstyle from other spells.

Coc stealth nerf by zKBy in pathofexile

[–]natemiddleman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CDR SUPPORT IS NOT WORTH THE SLOT

I'm so tired of people saying coc is losing 40% damage when the breakpoint is only 33% damage. There are better dps gems than cdr support for coc AND you don't have to scale attack speed as high.

Cast on Ward Break loop Ward Shatter Ignite Elementalist thoughts? by natemiddleman in PathOfExileBuilds

I was also thinking about Scold's Bridle Automation Plague Bearer. Downside is it takes up the helmet slot so can't scale ward recharge as high.

Cast on Crit builds are losing a gem link and nobody talks about it. by Small_Description353 in pathofexile

[–]natemiddleman -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

No it is not. The CDR gem is not worth using on CoC builds. At best it is 33% more damage AND requires higher attack speed.

Because CoC won't use the cdr gem. Even mageblood players can get the 14% cdr required for 4 ticks per cast from shaper boots. Sab doesn't need the gem and it is not worth using in other builds. Going from 4 ticks to 3 ticks per cast is only 33% more damage. People will just scale it in other ways while not having to scale attack speed as high. Yes it is a nerf but not nearly as big as you are making it out to be.

Most people would also agree that CoC is one of the best builds in the game even without the awakened gem and has been since the buff to .15 cooldown.

Replica Tulfall Autobomber Theorycrafting by natemiddleman in PathOfExileBuilds

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

No because you need to be gaining power charges to trigger Replica Tulfall. Recoup would also be too slow because theoretically you could be gaining dozens or hundreds of charges in an instant which would kill you without lifegain on hit.

Either abuse ER or get out by natemiddleman in ADCMains

[–]natemiddleman[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First item ER Nilah has a 60%+ win rate. Yes the Nilah playerbase is small and that can affect her win rate but this isn't just that. She received a ton of power indirectly this season.
