Can someone take a look at this and call me retarded (and then offer some real advice after)? I don't know if it is worth building into this whole call of the brotherhood + heatshiver thing and feels like a meme but it does allow me to use trinity and I am hoping the freeze stuff is a nice defensive layer.

Wow, I didn't even finish my post
I want to use the new static strike, the one that shoots out chains instead of it just sitting on you. If that doesn't work I guess I could switch to some kind of cold smite memes since, well, smite probably just does more damage lmao.

Playing crit static strike and not using Ambush, which is like it was built for that skill, is a little weird.
You don't want to use multistrike with it, to my knowledge it only repeats the melee hit and not the beams.
Your trinity will probably never be up because your cold damage is huge and your other damage types are minor, and trinity requires at least 2 of your damage types to have similar damage ranges.
>>558813230
>I want to use the new static strike, the one that shoots out chains instead of it just sitting on you
In that case ignore my comment about exerting and multistrike.
I would say that you should maybe consider using a cold rare weapon+frenzy stacking (for ice bite) instead of using 2 Calls.
I would look to run a different aura than wrath personally cuz damage with warden shouldn't be an issue most of the time.
I would personally redo the whole thing and make it so that it enables sap of the season manaburn stacking and then go harder on defense, but I just fucking love tincture memes like that.

List of shrines:
Brutal, charged, echoing, divine, gloom, acceleration, diamond, replenishing, skeletal, freezing, impenetrable, lightning, massive, resistance, shrouded.
Will probably be excluded:
Acceleration, echoing, divine, gloom
Presumed defensive:
Replenishing, impenetrable, resistance, shrouded
Presumed offensive:
Diamond, lightning, freezing, brutal
Could be either:
Massive, skeletal, charged
Could also be included:
Lesser shrines of acceleration, brutal, impenetrable, massive, replenishing, resistance.
Definitely won't be included but it would be funny:
Conqueror shrines, pantheon shrines (Lunaris shrine actually makes you invulnerable to projectiles which would be pretty funny stuff)
It seems likely that getting a good 'offensive' shrine on the new belt will be difficult, but if the shrine weightings we've had before are an indication then the good defensive shrine options shouldn't be particularly rare.
Acceleration shrine and echoing shrine was presumably excluded or nerfed here because echoing shrine would give you 200% more attackspeed and acceleration shrine 100% increased action speed. If either of those are on the belt it would have to be in a nerfed form.

I was making a second tree that was frenzy stacking but with a slayer instead. Damage was lower, but I only had 8 frenzies because I just stuck a darkrays on it, but obviously slayer loses the whole hoarfrost thing which makes the cold kind of a meme.
I guess you're right, it's probably shit. I'll just try to make something else.

just copy the ruetoo tech (foil, southpaw, arn's anguish etc) and go crit, as long as you're running content that's at your investment level it's not that hard to freeze.
>I guess you're right, it's probably shit
I'm speculating that it will be amazing actually, like a second smite of divine judgment but with even better clear. And playing it on warden makes sense because if you have amazing clear but struggle with single target, warden really fixes that. Rough to skip on slayer defenses on paperish 4k life builds tho.

Ok guys I'm stupid so you need to help me out with this.
Does the "first hammer in a cascade" part mean the very first hammer when you activate the skill (the first hit), or does it mean the first of the SUBSEQUENT hammers that will cascade from it?
Is the first, default hammer part of the cascade?

It's a little unintuitive and very unalike most other skills to have the first instance of damage be weaker than the subsequent one, especially with slams, that's why I'm not trusting the wording 100%.
>>558819145
I played enough earthshatter and it has very meager coverage compared to HH anyway.
>>558819457
Well if other anons are correct, it's actually the second hammer that has the 100% more. I genuinely can't say with confidence that it's correct though.

>>558820059
I don't know what 'cascade' means for the purpose of this skill, i.e. if it includes the very first damage instance, or only the hammers that come after.
It doesn't say "the first hammer", it says "the first hammer in each cascade".

>>558820038
Then it feels like the buff it was given was nowhere near enough. I was looking at a warden and I wasn't sure about the avatar stuff but if barkskin is that bad even with 4 points invested into it then w/e I'll take the conditional damage buff.

>>558820461
>zhe thinks that he's going to hit 6 times with his hammer
as long as you hit the "100% more" hammer, whichever one it is, that's good enough, you don't need more than 1 overlap, that's already more or less pre-nerf VFoS but with way better clear.

Yeah but unless your build wands Fan of Blades + Primordial Bond you're going to be trying for a 1/4 fracture (10 divines per fracturing orb) on a jewel and then using 40 orbs to roll it to the one you want and then you still have to finish it and your build is still shit. What's the point? Why not just play a better build? This system seems to only matter for people mirroring perfect 3-implicit synth clusters from Jenebu.

They did and it enjoyed the fact that the tree was shitting out 1000 PDPS axes so you don't need to worry much about weapons. With the tree no longer doing that and slams in general getting nerfed, doubt it'd enjoy the same relevance.

as long as you can get acceleration shrine it's just better because that will be more speed than mageblood can give
also better defensively with resistance shrine since that's 90% all res
acceleration shrine might be defensive so you can't get both, but only one plus an offensive is already better than mageblood because you can use tinctures and instant hp flasks
>>
>>
>>558829410
50% ACTION speed, +50% lightning/fire/cold resist, and +10% lightning/fire/cold/chaos resists is absolutely better than mageblood. full stop accel+resist is better, but then it also enables 2-point bloodline for a 3rd ring slot+poison immunity with no additional downside.
with how overpowered jewelry is and the inability to take that node with mageblood for a lot of builds it's not just equal to mb it's actually better. When you then consider optional further investment like wearing a Gull it's no contest, but even if you just use a belt slot it's better than mageblood since action speed is so much more valuable than movespeed

Echoing=Acceleration but neither will be allowed. Infinite damage or half infinite damage + infinite movement speed is broken and strictly better than Mageblood in every instance.
Gloom would be based and is on the same power level as Diamond if they allow it. Diamond is unbeatable on big AoE explode builds and HoI/HoT because of mega crits.
Everything else is irrelevant because you always want Resistance as your defensive except maybe in some weird archmage build.

>most builds wont be able to just replace mageblood with nubelt in their final state.

Only the 0.1% autists take their builds to a final state. Everybody else just buys Mageblood and uses quicksilver+movement speed roll and calls it a league 5 seconds after buying.

the new belt is so retarded it's insane.
so either it's common enough that you can get it (at most 1-2 mirror) or it's like dozens of mirrors.
it will bis for everyone except possibly some meme builds that needs some build enabling, but those builds will be shit compared to anyone using the belt.
i'm fine not getting gear for dozens of mirrors and just chilling with a mageblood and some decent stuff. but honestly i will be annoyed if it's this powerful and i won't be able to get it.

Acceleration with stack shrine effect is incomparable to anything. You no longer walk, you instantly teleport to wherever you clicked. Without free skills or mana on hit you will drain yourself dry in nanoseconds. You do not even notice enemies because they evaporate to the wall of VFX you throw at them.

>curses/elemental ailments/recovery
this is why reading comprehension is important. the belt does not prevent you from equipping flasks, it just doesn't work if you're under a flask effect.
instant recovery life/mana/hybrid flasks are completely unaffected. instant recovery is also a prefix while shit like curse removal, shock immunity, freeze immunity, ignite immunity, poison immunity are suffixes
you can show up with 5 instant recovery hybrid flasks and just mash them to have BETTER recovery than somebody using a mageblood while also having immunity/removal if you want it.
mageblood is unironically dead. you either want headhunter or this new belt, mb is the new poorfag cope option. You only lose flasks entirely if you go for the bloodline ascendancy, and getting a third ring slot in exchange is more than fair for needing to get some ailment immunity across your 20+ jewels/pantheon/clusters by that point.

idk why every fucking league you retards act like GGG are against powerful chase items. What they despise is the passive tree being good and builds not relying on items. They are completely okay with bullshit RMT-tier overpowered items that make the other 99% of your build irrelevant with how game-warping they are.

everything but gloom shrine is not worth the hassle. if you need echoing shrine so badly you are willing to unequip all your flasks and rmt 5000 divines for a belt your build wasnt worth spending that much money on to begin with.
palm of the dreamer on a belt slot is the only thing that would actually improve a good build in a meaningful way that could compete with the flexibility of mb or the raw stats of hh.

this is a retarded argument when headhunter is literally better than mageblood in any situation but pinnacle bossing as is. if your built doesn't have freeze immunity by the time you're dropping mirrors that's a skill issue

>>558833626
its not that hard to get 100% stun avoid if you really want more than tsoagoth and you can solve ailment immunities without mageblood

>base phys dot
>Takes TEN FULL SECONDS to reach that value
That's not base then. Your base is 2.8k. Assuming you only pop it at max Valour.
You're also not gonna be able to spam it, cause that assumes you always hit it at 105 Valour.
And you are NOT getting 74 total Valour every single pack you clear.
You're getting like 4.

>>558834241
nah banner champ with foulborn uul netols can get a 105 valor banner off like every other second even with the autoexert nerf
realistically you would probably do like 2 main banners on a single 6 link and they both apply a stack per second
or you do 2 seperate 6 links idk how tight the sockets are

>>558834696
champ literally gets refunded 30% of their banners every time they leave the area so it's impossible to only have 4 valor when using this shit, nevermind all the other bannermaxxing nodes and notables. They even get detonate dead corpse explosions from Awe and Terror.
Banners have been good for a while now they're just usually too clunky or low payoff to bother with, directly stapling a giant aoe damage ability to them so you can use banners as your main damage ability is gonna make them great. This is literally GGG throwing their hands in the air after years of people refusing to do multi button builds and just saying "FINE! YOUR AOE BUFF CAN ALSO KILL EVERYTHING!"

Guardian has been a good low investment league starter for years at this point, you can be using white and magic gear when you get to naps and radiant sentinel+elemental relic will still carry you. It doesn't scale super well into billions of damage attack builds but it's not bait, you'll absolutely get your four void stones as guardian with minimal effort.
SRS has been among the safest league start options for the better part of a decade at this point, guardian and necro can both just run around using unleash and kill everything to t16s fine

>>558835313
its not an arbitrary claim, its all true
you do get a ton of movespeed (like 200% with minimal investment in aura effect iirc)
you do have free explode although its kinda shit (20% for 10% max life explode so like max rolled t2 crusader chest)
you also get a few hundred % increased for free from warcrying so often, 65 65 block, life on block, suppress, res if youre ok with having shit res without a banner on you
its pretty fucking annoying to play but that looks like a build that walks over everything with 0 gear

Some builds feel fucking amazing.
Unfortunately, actually figuring out those builds from the very start is miserable beyond words.
Ever since the big nerfening (Expedition patch), making a build on the fly if you aren't a gigabrain is horrible and has only been made far, far worse with all the shit they've piled on top over the years.
I personally don't wholesale use guides, I figure shit out off of Ninja, but the point still stands, there's too much fucking shit in this game, man. Both in terms of choices (many of which are auto-bad, even if they look good) and requirements (the jump from Acts>Maps alone is miserable if you don't know/have what is near-mandatory to have).
You can laugh all ya want, fact is, the game is fucked beyond all comprehension.
>>
Nude at level 50 wearing the axe it's actually only 500k DoT DPS which is still pretty fucking based since you don't have to do anything it just ticks for free as you run around at 300% movement speed while being immune to damage. It's Death's Oath x3.

i still don't understand the concept of a 'league starter' build.
a build is a build. you work through it from level 1 until its finished. when is a build a league starter and when is it not
>>
>>
>>558836890
its nicer than opening boxes by hand and its a big ass aoe
but it has an internal cd or some shit and if you get unlucky it sometimes just takes multiple seconds for a box to open no matter how high your cast speed is
>>
>>
>>
>>558837498
Some builds are faster through the campaign or have a good guide, but mostly it's just a youtuber keyword for getting clicks. You can play whatever you want within reason, but if you're new you're better off playing Pohx RF instead of trying to figure out how to make a build yourself. That's a league starter.
>>
>>558837498
a league starter is a build you do work towards from lvl 1
a non-league starter is an expensive build often reliant on specific uniques or cluster jewels that is not something you can reasonably work towards from lvl 1. It's something you level a second character to play after already reaching endgame and getting enough currency to afford it so you just buy the key pieces and have them waiting in your stash for the second character. Often times these builds have much higher ceilings than a typical league start in terms of dps but their strict requirements means it's not something you can show up with on day 1 of a new league, the items to even play it might not be on trade for weeks if it's especially niche, or you might not even be able to afford the actual skill gem since it's worth multiple divines as a transfigure.
league start build: guardian/necro SRS
not a league start: hollow palm dancing dervish chains of command animated weapons minion Champion.
>>
>>
>>558837974
there's a chains of command leaguestart build though, so I don't understand. What's preventing them from slapping on a functional leveling guide and just saying 'get these uniques in this order'

League starters are defined because of that "slowly" word. There are builds that can get you your watchstones without slowly doing anything, and there's a whole spectrum of in-between. The less hiccups and farming periods to reach that goal, the more of a league starter it is. The amount of loot you get in t16+ with some amount of juice is just hugely different than farming yellows.

I can only homebrew my own attack builds it seems. I have done my own RF but that's moderately easy to do.

I can't know everything in depth.

Imagine if in real life the government just said "ok everyone gets paid twice as much, right now" including corporations and the ultra-wealthy. Sure you got 100% more money, but capital wise the corporations got significantly more. The resulting inflation then benefits the already rich.

i have never seen a random person post a good balance idea in public. whenever i read through suggestions in the forums or other places about ascendancy or skill gem reworks its the most game breaking bs imaginable. these are the same people that apply for ggg job offerings and eventually get hired. finding people that dont mess up the entire game in 1 patch must be nearly impossible. iirc mark said the assassin rework was a collaborative practice run of multiple low level designers. these are the best people a billion dollar company could find. the person who first suggested that assassins mark ascendancy probably has a masters degree.

In the old armory you could see all your items occupying a phyisical place you could grab them move them organize them etc but it had a limit space you had to pay to increase. In the new inventory you couldnt do any of that instead when you selected a hero you could see all the cosmetic for that specific hero you couldnt move or do anything they didnt occupy a physical place or anything. People rioted even tho you now had infinite space for free

Whats good about it?
I just watched the reveal trailer and skimmed through the patch notes. I'm definitely not the target audience, since I prefer grim dawn over poe, but I didn't really see anything in the reveal or patch notes that I was interested in. Last league I played had the helmet that let you link to minions which I loved, since minion linking was a cool niche that I liked but could never make work. It also opened up having a giga minion, which was also a niche I've always enjoyed. it also made (untransfigured) reapers actually sort of work, which was mind blowing to me given how much of a dog they've always been. That item alone was enough to carry the league for me.

In 3.27 i played poison AW and i've never played something so strong, it scaled beautifully from the start to 100+ divs investment, and to top it off it was super tanky. Did all content with it and i had lots of fun. What other builds are there that you can league start with and also scale to crazy levels?

PoB calculates this as having a cast time but since its triggered, it should be instant right?

the skill has cracked numbers for low tolerance/ignite and all you really need is ynda and a chest.

check out the waggle ward slayer, it's quite good desu, and it only got better this patch. ward's good, it's just an advanced mechanic.

nta but the introduction of T17 was a bigger nerf to RF than 3.23 was, so walking that back plus the general level of power creep in Mirage should make RF pretty comfy assuming RF is still played on Chieftain.

Probably equally as bad as PoE 2, considering just how ingrained chaos orb as a stable trading currency in the game, the shock people will have once they realize they are completely worthless past week 1 will completely crater the div-chaos ratio

>have they fixed the "bug" where if you can't do damage, you can't do damage?
No.
>Each Statue uses your Frozen Sweep attack
>If your Frozen Sweep attack does 0 damage, then it does 0 damage when a Statue uses it too
This has not nor will it ever be a bug. Just horrible game design because GGG hates fun.

Copy/pasted directly from the Skill Gem:
>Each Statue uses your Frozen Sweep attack
And to break it down...
>The statues... are using YOUR ATTACK, which does 0 damage if you have Ancestral Bond, so the statues also do 0 damage
Stop being a disingenuous retard or fuck off.

There's always been quite a bit of AI in image editing software used to make digital art since a lot of the tools used are context sensitive, but anon probably means genAI in which case he's an absolute drooling retard.

Not happy with the lack of attention he was receiving, Anon attempted to pivot to another similarly-retarded topic to bait people into giving him something his parents never would.
Will it prove effective? We shall see.

It seems like a pretty big oversight to give it the same downside as one of the most powerful bloodline ascendancies. An extra ring is absolutely nuts for things like charge and attribute stackers.

>>558870090
The QnA formats a casual discussion, it's not for the benefit of the listener and it's not scripted so answers take thought which most people will fill with smalltalk rather than sitting in silence.
A prepared question interview format wouldn't work because they're discussing new as of that moment information.

I feel like everyone is gonna be running t16s and 16.5s with the astrolabe stuff and the nightmare maps will get ignored. Back then so many tier 17s were being completed and the fragments were a nice bonus.
