They shoulda added divine shards and replace the old divine recipe with exalt recipe. Basically exalts and divines change places. They shoulda done that the moment the change ocurred.

Isn't agnostic MoM back on the menu with the regen shrine roll on that belt?

Holy Sweep would be good if it were a strike or a slam but it's nothing and has 0 scaling and is worthless. Holy Hammers is worse than nerfed Earthshatter and is worthless. Biden Blast might be a funny ignite skill but it's worse than Shield Crush for DPS. Minion holy skills are for bad players and no one should ever consider them.

Holy strike isn't a slam.
And slams being "giganerfed" is a meme spoonfed to you by people who will be starting slams regardless and are trying to get some of their "infinity damage for no investment" back.
New OE/AE numbers are fine. It was oppressive.

>>558879381
HH is incredible mechanically, and on top of that, it's fully conducive to being built without relying on OE to begin with (even though I think it will be a perfectly fine starter with OE).

Think about uber elder: Just run in a circle while attacking in some direction occasionally.

I already have the build I will play and then I have a second character I want to play but it's much weaker and essentially I have to make the build from the ground up, but it has a lot of potential because I can play it like I play the first build, same skills, it'll have better survivability but it'll require very strong gear to take off

You actually want to replace your totems on that skill so the fact that they start casting faster means it's a huge multiplier to DPS.

You'd be picking Inquisitor and staffs to hit 100% pretty easily, and when you do your ele damage bypasses enemy res. If the holy skills were just phys you'd probably better doing it normal rt slams.
His pob is also missing the new acc nodes they said they're adding to the templar area so it might not even be that bad. But even then just put hits can't be evaded on your staff from the craft.

>herald of purity sentinels have a base damage of 834 to 1251 at level 20 with base attack speed of 1.2 (1251 PDPS)
>a one handed mace can give you 760 PDPS with 30% quality and T1 phys prefixes and T1 attack speed (and you can use a shield)
>you can summon 4 sentinels vs 3 hammers with holy strike
So holy strike has to have some pretty good added damage effectiveness or multiplier to be even slightly good? Or what am i missing here, why are they just worse than herald of purity sentinels on base stats alone

Players are Marked for Death after killing a Rare or Unique monster.
Rare and Unique Monsters remove Life, Mana and Energy Shield from Players or their Minions on Hit.
When a fifth Impale is inflicted on a Player, Impales are removed to Reflect their Physical Damage multiplied by their remaining Hits to that Player and their Allies within 1.8 metres.

Player Skills which Throw Traps throw fewer Traps.

Holy Strike is probably fine. Like they know how to push an archetype if they want to, and you get shit like accuracy in that part of the tree now so it won't be such a struggle. I just like Static Strike, and it lines up very conveniently with the tree I'm planning. Unnatural Instinct in the Scion area can hit duration and AoE while overlapping with a Light of Meaning, so you get all the stats that Static Strike needs from 2 jewels. It might not be top tier but I already know that it's going to be decently playable endgame with the buffs.

i dont know what your point is but this actually makes t17s harder to roll on a weak character. half of those mods are literally free and the rest arent a big deal.
instead of some retard totem or minion mod that does nothing youre going to get shit like crit + crit multi, multiproj + aoe, damage of a random element, more monster life, max res, pe and life as es. those mods are way harder.

>>558881840

>>558881561
no such thing as enough flat, especially if you want to freeze bigger targets, and especially on multistrike skills, feels godly to reliably clear a pack with the first swing and then cancel it.

>>558882034
TBQH it didn't look too bad. Seemed like it could hit ~5 times. Of course, Smite of Divine Judgment in density with extra strikes hits 20 times but that doesn't affect single target.

>>558882202
yeah seems like the hammers procs could be kinda nice for single target

By the way the "reverse chill setup" is only active 25% of the time because of Skitterbot AI, and mines are not fun to map with even if you automate detonations.

There’s a reason those gloves get sniped at 12 divs for the base alone

You want to self craft them regardless because you want a high quality base

it's not that bad, the only factor is orb of conflict price

I've never played reap/exsang mines before but am considering it as league start, is it as legit as it looks? This guy's level 100 and poeninja has his damage listed at 62,000,000 despite wearing a bunch of t5 uniques that are 1 to 10c even at the end of the league
https://poe.ninja/poe1/builds/keepers/character/Bandsy-1473/Bandsy

Is it really just that people fucking hate the gameplay of mines so much they refuse to touch it even if it's good? The last couple leagues I've been playing poison and minion shit so I haven't actually looked at phys spells but at first glance it looks good. I see people putting up with fucking totems every league and those are way more of a pain in my experience

its in the discord, they arent updating the patch notes til monday

>>558885595
nta but I made enough that they are definitely worth less than 12d for a base lol
LITERALLY the only thing that matters is the price of conflict orbs

>>558885595
I made like 3 of those when i played msoz in 3.26
Its really not so bad, just dont start crafting it when you can barely afford the expected cost

>>558885257
I wish it scaled the base cooldown with levels instead of giving CDR on the gem. I can't hit any CDR breakpoints cost efficiently the way it is.

That equals a 50% damage reduction for FB Uul-Netol's Earthshatter Bannermaxxer. You always had options for Bannermaxxer such as fire EQ, Rage Vortex of Berserking, Corrupting Cry, Ground Slam, etc. Mayhapsbeit people will choose one of these to switch to this league, or mayhapsbeit not since Earthshatter is still likely the best.

This league for comfymaxxing you will play Bloodsoaked Banner support, potentially linked to 2 banners for faster ramp if the DPS is high enough by itself. What remains unknown is why Exceptional support gems have a max level of 3 instead of 5 or 20. This makes the effect of gem levels potentially ridiculous and may necessitate a swap from FB Uul-Netol's to a gem level bow or double corrupted Formless Flame or a switch to something like 1-hand/Svalinn or Aegis for scaling/defense.

This has been your hourly Bannermaxxer update. Hit subscribe and ring that bell for more Bannermaxxer updates.

>>558885357
if you delete all the corruption implicits, and the FF/FF jewels, and the balance of terror, and have a worse dagger, and drop 10 levels of points, it's still 19 million dps

>>558883316
if it takes you longer than 1sec to kill a boss your build is shit buddy

>>558885620
the guides I saw said you should switch from exsang to reap for ubers but since they have identical scaling in every way you don't need to change anything else about the tree. if the only real issue is switching out a skill for five minutes to kill ubers that seems like a good deal

>>558885725
If this blood banner shit works, aren't you just an Ultimatum farmer that actually has to press a button every once in a while unlike CWS?

>>558885245

Still the best belt in the entire game by far, still leaving Mageblood in the dust. Let's be real whatever they do is going to fucking ruin the belt and make it worthless. They want everyone using Mageblood and only Mageblood.

Shockwave Static Strike has been around for a while clueless-kun

>>558885357
>despite wearing a bunch of t5 uniques that are 1 to 10c even at the end of the league
Yeah, all of them with extremely favorable double corrupts, with a coveted flesh+flame combo, a probably expensive Dragonfang's, and all of that amounts to less than 5k phys max hit which means he dies to a sneeze.
That said, reap mines are good tech. You should not look at these ztank assassins, they're probably just specialized sanctum or boss rushers and are not made for general progression. Just look at fearless dumb0's or aeroplane's reap/exang miner tricksters. People played those tricksters even on HC when exsang got the base damage buff.

>>558885620
Exsang has no single target before you put some gear into it, it has no more damage mechancis and is not even meant to be a hit skill. It's only used because it has amazing coverage, and full phys skills are good for scaling with convert mechanics.
Reap always has good single target.

>>558886024
That's exactly what I'm researching but the CDR doesn't fucking line up. Are you using level 1 Static Strike so all the beams get shockwaves, or do you use high level Static Strike and miss the shockwave on every 3rd beam?

>>558885995

>>558886169
why lie, you retarded faggot

Gonna be completely frank and honest with you Mirage looks like a snoozer of a league. I think I'll pass so I can be fresh for the epic PoE2 patch in a couple months.

>>558885357
>>558886028
also the reasons why people don't play miners that much after leaguestart (and excluding specialized shit)
>mine builds tend to take a little bit of finagling since you have to fuck around with costs, reservation, overthrowing, and this is gay cancer if you just want to blast and not fuck around in pob
>mine builds are fundamentally a poor choice for ultrahard content because mines can't leech or give you infinite recovery with life/es on hit

>>558886295
Why not go run 3000 more temples while you're waiting?

>>558886295
k

>>558885357
I've played a lot of mines and reap mines and exsanguinate mines.

Reap mines is a bit not amazing. The coverage of reap is just kinda shitty because it just targets the nearest enemy so you'll need multiple throws to take out packs, and you need a secondary setup to get blood charges too since mines can't give them to you, and also mine kills also remove blood charges. And on specific bosses that summon adds you'll lose those blood charges and do far less damage. Reap does decent damage on lone bosses where you can just vaal reap and detonate, but the juggling charges and crappy clear is annoying.

Exsanguinate was great in Mercenaries league where you had free hyper effectiveness level 30 auras and +2 chain just from a gloves mod. You can't get those now. The build is worse than it was before. The coverage is good once you actually get chain, but you can't start out as exsanguinate; you won't have the damage if you want to do anything but alch and go.

>>558886380
Mines are for bosses and maybe blight (you can ignore proxy shields).

>>558886101
It’s been a while since I played it but iirc you don’t quality Static Strike and get enough CDR to proc Shockwave on every other Static Strike pulse

>>558885725
