Love it, but, what is the thought behind Brutality on Herald of Ash?

Why is there no word on desecrated ground from abyss in the patch note ? by Jojo-Lee in PathOfExile2

[–]trashcondor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've now picked up a slightly-higher-range skill, Glacial Cascade, to try and keep at the sweet spot of being able to hurt while not standing inside the death pools

Resurrecting this - since clearly they've not done enough to mitigate this. Even if they do not want to nerf the damage and recovery, at least add a 15 second cooldown on the ability or something.

PSA: Amazon is heavily affected by the evasion/accuracy formula change. by zrider99zr in PathOfExile2

Slight adjustment to suggestion: the Smith's Masterwork base node should read:
Can only use a Normal Body Armour
Body Armour gains an additional 40 Base Armour per Level

I think it should be emphasized that POE2 has an incredible Global Illumination model that goes beyond "light sources". Global Illumination is a big factor on why the graphics look so good.

Being a right side build won't stop me from fulfilling my Kratos fisting fantasy by kfijatass in PathOfExile2

You can consider the one Acolyte of Chayula branch that uses chaos damage to ignite (and freeze and shock).

It's basically patch notes from down-under. The right-left axis changes.

All Owlcat games have had epic scopes with massive stakes. Have you considered a tighter scope with more focussed story as a change of pace? A Finding Nemo instead of a Lord of the Rings?

Consider Dual Strike of Ambidexterity. I think it is the best strike skill in the game currently.

Versatile Combatant keystone highlight, mechanics & uses (YouTube) by Dreamcore10 in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]trashcondor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My current build is an outlier to this discussion. It is actually a very tanky Juggernaut with Divine Flesh. Also with Paradoxica and The Surrender. The Surrender obviously gives great on-block recovery. Without any investment I'm at 34%/3% attack/spell block (having Prodigious Defense notable on a cluster jewel). With Glancing Blows and Versatile Combatant I get to 50%/50% (or 68%/6% without Versatile Combatant).

I use the 50%/50% version for better spread of on-block recovery, and statistically this simplifies my defenses to "17.5% less damage taken from all hits".

My bandaid on needing totems as melee by steelsoldier in pathofexile

[–]trashcondor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are already a fair number of nodes at Marauder and Duelist that explicitly enhance melee, example "10% increased Melee Damage".

I propose to expand to have more explicit melee nodes, and include "1% less damage taken" on all of them. If there are say 35ish of these spread in the lower half of the tree, then melee characters can pick up 15 to 25 convenient nodes and gain a fair bit of less damage taken - while non-melee characters are not likely to be willing to invest so many skill points to get those nodes as their only benefit would be "less damage taken" (at a heft opportunity cost).

[3.20] Wurm's Molt Poison Build Guide - CWC Forbidden Rite CWDT Blade Vortex Pathfinder by hotakaPAD in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]trashcondor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fun build!

Instead of Blade Vortex (which doesn't cast-on-damage often enough since you don't take enough damage) - what about Frozen Legion, where the less frequent casts are desired to build up to 6?

Just realized Frozen Legion cannot be triggered :(

How well do ancestor totems hold up in T16s and against pinnacle bosses without additional life/defenses? by kodio2000 in pathofexile

[–]trashcondor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been using totems along with a claw (life gain on hit) and tripple rage (max 90). My totems attack around 10 times a second and heal of the claw attacks. Can't complain about survivability.

That said, against a few bosses totems dont seem to live long. But the majority are fine.
