[Megathread] Path of Exile

Wait a second... If you take Cloak of Flame as Scavenger and wear Cloak of Flame, would that stack?

What about Stasis Prison? If you wore a 100% rolled SP, os that on top of the 50% reduction?

I don't see why not. That's what makes the Scavenger bonkers. Some of those uniques can be hard to use due to other stat balances on the item. With those balances no longer there, there are going to be some crazy broken builds out there with her. Midnight Bargain that doesn't reserve life and can be used with CI? Soul Taker on any weapon? Void Battery w/o Reduced Spell Damage? Fulcrum w/o being limited to a staff? The combinations are going to be crazy.

Just a friendly reminder, you don't want more than 100% damage converted to w/e. Get it as close to 100% w/o going over.

I'm dyin out here.

Trying to figure out if Blade Blast of Dagger Detonation Polytheist is viable.

Really, the ascendency only gives the target-able nova, which is a ring (lol), otherwise the charges are nice, curse bonus/reflect immunity is nice, but nothing thrilling. But that 675% scaling on the skill makes it seem so juicy for something, I'm just not sure what. My mind goes, "Tri-ele dagger, slap Spellblade on it, mondo scaling on yuge flat" but I'm not so sure that'll work. Spell Cascade for clear and Echo for single target is an easy enough switch, but I'm sure there's other wayes to get huge flat for that (that aren't archmage) in addition to the weapon.

And I'm now full-on with Ancestral Commander General's Cry Tec Slam of Cataclysm. Seems like it'll just be so much better overall (built-in defiance of destiny wtf, double body armour wtf, 50% phys to fire conversion for enemy damage wtf) especially with the extra 3 charges making 9 pathetically easy to reach. Very very solid defenses in the tree so you can spend most of the tree on offense. Throw in Petrified Blood and who cares about using a 2h weapon or not having spell suppress.

I hope gear is fairly plentiful in trade, I'm gonna have so many crafting projects (as most of my build ideas fail and I try to salvage them) and will ultimately need so much currency to trade.

[Fencers]

I don't see why not.

Huge if true.

Scavenger is not as flashy as the others but from a mechanical POV this is bonkers.

Small passives are up.

You know what?

If I get some gear, Antiquarian with Ynda's Stand belt can convert 100% of body armour/evasion to ward with a 1 second refresh, plus 140% increased on the ward from the big node and four small nodes.

The 0 int hurts, but there should be some decent strength stacking options between things like brutus lead sprinker or replica alberon's warpath, which if you wanna get extra spicy with you can pair with nightgrip for a big boost to flat chaos damage at the cost most of the effectiveness of all that ward, I dunno.

[Fencers]

The Ancestral Commander is looking good. I don't know why Boneshatter is so satisfying but it is.

Boneshatter Antiquarian Str stacker. Who cares about physical damage, trauma stacks scale all damage from the attack. Brutus Lead Sprinkler, find some mondo-attack speed, and enjoy the insane duration of trauma from the global 1% duration increase per 10 strength on top of anything picked up from the tree. Who cares about mitigating physical damage when you've got like 10k ward (you'll have armour anyways).

[NoiseTank13]

I'll be doing infinite Vaal Cold Snap Architect.

[Fencers]

Harbinger and Blind Prophet are changing my mind about starting Scav.

Edit: Then again, I am a Fury Valve Splitting Steel enjoyer in my heart.

Fuck this, prob will suck.

Pyroclast mine Polytheist should work, though. +2 proj for the mines which is surprisingly spicy, go evasion/spell suppress/crit and benefit from some of the other ascendency passives (evasion/regen while moving, blind/crit node) and I guess you just get a free 3 endurance charges outta it which is nice. Apparently the nova aspect should improve projectile homing so it could be interesting. If nothing else it seems a safe backup for ancestral commander general's cry tec slam of cataclysm (gosh these build names are getting wild)

[Mamut]

Looks like Whisperer gonna be very popular. I'm gonna play one as KB wander. Did not played something like this for ages and it looks amazing.

[Edge-]

Why am I thinking about Viper Strike of the Mamba Servant of Arakaali now...

30% phys as extra chaos, envy, -15% chaos res, 20% increased damage taken. Need some defenses but that might actually work out alright if I can get some assplodes in there or something.

[Fencers]

I think they showed Viper Strike in the video trailer when Spider Shadow came up and PS Miner for Polytheist, IIRC. A lot happened since then.

Definitely gonna play trade this time. Hopefully gear will be plentiful as people rotate through trying builds and whatnot.

[Fencers]

It seems Chris Wilson has officially left GGG.

Ruthless enjoyer population -1 forever.

Not really a surprise after there POE2 fuck up but after seeing such a fuck up man that sucks.

[Mamut]

Fuck up? PoE 2 is great and I would not consider it as fuck up by any means.

[BeepBoo]

I think "fuck up" means how they fucked up their promise to maintain POE1 and POE2 and then... abandoned POE1 because it was clear they couldn't. That, and I'd consider builds getting to zoom levels at end-game a fuck up because I hate that design in ARPGs and was hoping POE2 would nix that.

[Lorgar Aurelian]

The fuck up is taking all of the staff off PoE1 for months and then acting surprised it had no work done.

Chris hasn't been running the ship for a while, he handed that baton off to Mark and Jonathan. That's also why he hasn't really been the face of GGG for a few years now.

Dude put in his time and is fucking off to enjoy his Black Lotus collection now, none of this is his responsibility, lol.
