after ripping my latest Incinitank (to a strongbox. fuck those things.) I'm back off the wagon again. MK_VIII is go.
can I just say that having a 79 life Perandus and a perfect-rolled Atziri's Foible (thanks to 2 Blessed Orbs) makes the early game a zillion times easier?
Ugh. I hate the Zana missions with the 'kill 176 corrupted data does in a minute' objective. There's plenty of time, but there"s always those last four fucking dudes I just can not find before time runs out.
I could also use some help from you guys theory crafting my tri-totem build. I'm not all that comfortable with ES levels and I'm not sure I can effectively stack block so I'm not sure how well this will turn out. Right now I'm tentatively looking at a hybrid build like this, which would take a few too many levels. I'm not sure where to cut, or if going hybrid is even viable especially with pretty much zero armor or ES and no block nodes.
I would seriously consider two totems, the stacking curses are a major drawback, and you'll be repositioning totems a lot, which counts as a totem 'death'.
Ignore me if you've played one before and are fine with it!
Is there hiddi g HP scaling by level? I played around with it and didn't see anything. Not too worried about the curses; they're so situational a random one won't universally be a death sentence and if it does roll badly I can wash it by just tossing another totem.
So it's just case #92747161496 in PoE of "that looks cool! I'll...oh wait never mind its fucking horrible and the drawbacks make it impossible."
I don't know why I expected anything else at this point, that's kinda all there is to PoE.
It'd be a good addon to a classic summoner/necromancer build though where the idea is to never get hit or get into the action and let your minions do all the work. I could see 3 totems being an awesome addition then.
Uurgh I died today. Had recently crafted a pretty sweet 5L Harbinger bow as well
If I play in the next league, I won't be using Tornado shot for end game, back to split arrow + chain it is.
I have never been close to one shotting myself from reflect before, but something about the strongbox I opened made it so. Probibly vuln curse or something the same moment my tornado shot got a crit in the pack.

I think that would have been a lot more viable back with triple shock stacking, and even then you're not really gaining over a single totem. I though about trying to split with another proxy damage like summons or traps but it just doesn't really seem viable. Needs too many points.
Really irks me that the meta seems to be exclusively 'get cloak/coil for multiple exalts, then stack block/spell block for multiple exalts, or go the fuck home'.
I think I may just say fuck it and go max DPS full glass cannon, low life pain attunement and everything. Its not like there's a down side to deaths after level 80 anyway since its practically impossible to level up regardless and I think I could conceivably hit that with an insanely glassy build.
As long as you run the right maps, levelling a summoner is insanely easy. You're never in the action and, at least for the witch start, you can get all the summoner nodes by level 60/start of merciless act 3 that every point after that is pure window dressing.
I always have the hardest time trying to actually level a summoner. As In I never get past normal Dominus. Then again I always try to level something like that first in a new league so lack of gear and what not?
Gear helps, but for dom you either need to be way over leveled or be in a group. Preferably in a group. His attacks will take out your zombies and spectres consistently faster than you can spawn them, and without the minions you're no better than about a quarter of your level.
Gear just lets me get a few more zombies and spectres, but if I didn't have the gear it wouldn't be too bad.
Edit: for the piece of armor this discussion spawned from, I would put ragingspirit+echo+fast cast+mion damage+long duration+fire pen in that order if I could get it up to a six link. Send the zombies in and spawn the totem between the zombies and me. Wouldnt really need to get the extra totem passive either.
Just got a Lightning Coil. Why are they so coveted? I get that you can greatly reduce lightning damage to almost non existent with the right purity, so managing big hits with the physical to lightning is a good thing?
Lightning coil is the meta because percentage litigation for big physical hits might as well not exist in this fame for most builds, and coil is one of a tiny handful of ways to get it.
Who the hell has IIQ other than dudes in standard.
also, was looking for a spell echo gem and wasn't having any luck in trade chat. Was about to just give up and get one off poexyz for 5 ch, when a dude says he's selling all gems and to pst him. I ask if he has spell echo and he sells it to me for 50 alts. Gotta be patient for those deals!

I died to reflect on a 67 map with that build. Luckily I play Rampage

I *think* I've come around to going cast on crit with my next build. Unfortunately I think that means I need to strand my witch and level a shadow, the witch is pretty far from the acro/spell acro/ondars I think I want to run. That dual curse is tempting though...
Anyone else trying to play tonight? Im getting 2-3 second lag spikes constantly on my lan connection that wasn't there previously. Im hoping its not me.
*Edit* Nope its me. I have about zero upload right now. Something funny happening in my neighborhood.
I'm waiting for the gaming community to realize GGG deserves their money.
In my case at least, I always plan to give them some money every paycheck but then it comes down to giving GGG money or getting food/gas/other requirements of modern life. Finally got some overtime giving me some spending cash and I've now got $20 earmarked for GGG.
If the MTX things weren't so damn expensive I'd buy them. Otherwise I've bought all the stash tabs I'll ever need, and that's all I'm giving them money for.

I finally found a reasonable cost MTX I'll actually use: skin transfers. Start at like $.50 each and I don't have to look like an escaped mental patient anymore? Deal.
I also finally started making some cureecy. Near 30 chaos which was exalt territory but apparently chaos are dropping. Also found my first item worth selling, an Alpha's Howl. Prices seem to be all over the board on PoE.trade for it though so no idea how to go about selling the damn thing.
Found a drillneck, which I see is going for something like 7ex on poe.trade, while also finding out the kill count in Rampage seems to stops counting at 1000.
did a Dried lake map with sea witches and +50% pack size. 4 Tentacled spectres with GMP+LMP+Minion dmg (+78%) and liberal use of vaal skeleton took out everything on the map in under 5 minutes. Also found a 15% quality projectile dmg that could fit right in.
Depending on the rolls, Alpha's are 25-30c on rampage.
Mind's 97/100 on evasion and 29/30 on cold resist, so it's well rolled. I'm in standard though and the b/o prices vary by like seriously 10 exalts and I have no idea how that happens.

sure, I just want a Vis Mortis for it, specifically this one with a buyout of 4ex. If you can't swing that, I'll take any that are on the market if you'd throw a couple jewelers and maybe a fusing or two at it.

Cool. I'll see what I can do.
Mind if I try it on sometime? I'd like to see what the numbers do.

Sure, hit me up whenever I'm on. Usually playing my summoning witch, SuperAwesomeLoveMuffin but I can be found through the guild, too.

Every time you recast, or a totem is killed, you'll get a new level 20 curse on you, and they stack. It's not trivial.
I think totems scale like monsters/monster levels, in some way, so a level 14 totem will have less hp, but I don't know if it'll be a problem.
I don't know why I expected anything else at this point, that's kinda all there is to PoE.
Do a dual shockwave totem build, it's fun.

Seems the crit damage from tornado is just that much higher then split arrows.
Really irks me that the meta seems to be exclusively 'get cloak/coil for multiple exalts, then stack block/spell block for multiple exalts, or go the fuck home'.
I think I may just say fuck it and go max DPS full glass cannon, low life pain attunement and everything. Its not like there's a down side to deaths after level 80 anyway since its practically impossible to level up regardless and I think I could conceivably hit that with an insanely glassy build.

well played, PoE
Ok, I need to finally give them my $20 and get some premium stash tabs cause that alone is worth it
They also banned GCPMan.

Anyone in Rampage want a Drillneck for cheap?

@Veevee
Yes Yes Yes God Yes Yes Please Yes
Or, at least, I'd like to put it on to see how much it increases my DPS.
I wont be home to do the trade until after midnight central, but I might be able to convince my SO who's home to do it if you can't make it that late.
Cool. I'll see what I can do.
