Poe is a cheap Diablo clone. Thats definitely why I’m spending more money on blizzard quality products than on grinding gears. I only spend like a couple k on ggg, but I have bought somebody at blizzard their own luxury car by now, and will be buying him a woman to sit in it with him. Actually like everyone at blizzard is a female now, that’s probably why they don’t draw amazons with huge boobs like in Diablo, they draw stout brown powerful lead characters. It’s actually like really cringe dude what they did to blizzard. That company got the RuneScape treatment where they were mandated to turn every product gay and female positive to brainwash the cattle humans who were enjoying their monopoly on the franchise. I won’t even read Poe story because it’s probably just as brainwashy and trash. Men only want one thing and that’s tall amazons with huge boobs and no face on their character model because it’s too low pixel count.

You guys are clueless. The fact that the minions use your weapon is NOT a good thing. For example, Dominating Blow's sentinel's base damage is 837-1255. Two handed Maelström staff with max phys rolls and q20% is 507-992. In fact, when doing the maths I think I cracked the algorithm.
Dom blow: (837+1255)/2*2.8=2928.8
Holy strike: (507+992)/2*3.92=2938.04
The multipliers are the attack damage multipliers of the skills. The differences are so small, less than 0.3%, that I don't think it's a coincidence. It is how it is. So the Holy stirke minions are essentially Dom blow minions with some tradeoffs.
With Dom you get more minions; with Holy you get 168% more dmg for the minions (essentially equating to 3*2.68=8.04, roughly eight dom blow minions).
With Dom you get the convenience of minions clearing for you; with Holy you likely get the attack speed inherited from the weapon, which is up to 30% faster than the attack speed of Dom blow minions.
Major issue with Holy strike is that it forces you to use a two-hander which Dom blow builds generally don't want to do.
Conclusion: Maybe it's decent, but saying the numbers are amazing is abjectly false.

>>559152890
Probably 1 default but we don't know yet
>>559153039
I don't think holy strike is good for it desu. You can only apply 1 stack at a time and holy strike will have 3 clones that hit and try to consume. You won't get 2 stacks up ever because the clones are going to consume them as fast as you apply and only 1 clone will benefit from it. Even if you use something with super fast attacks to apply it you only get 2 stacks so not all 3 holy strike clones will proc it
If you can get 3 stacks and apply 3 stacks on hit then holy strike might end up being super strong with it

>>559152853
that guy is talking out of his ass, ggg didnt reveal much about the exceptional gems except for maven having the rarest and best one t. andrew

Holy Strike minions are invincible though. Minions that don't die are just better.

>>559153017
they literally confirmed in the reveal and the q&a they are from pinnacle content. uber elder drops the rain one, neglect drops frostmage, king in the mists drops toads etc.
its probably not from uber sirus but its definitely from an endgame boss not a map boss.

>>559153313
technically from maven because she still has enli and empoer

I have decided on my league start
It is going to suck probably but I'll make it work.

>>559153387
i think maven qualifies for invul phases
not a map but close enough

>>559152827
you aren't accounting for crit chance which is usually not too easy to get on minions

>>559153017
its not map bosses, its specific mechanic bosses. the breach support is dropped by the breach bosses for example.
the idea was to give a little special something to every boss so even dogshit old content bosses have a reason for you to sit through their immunity phases

>>559153374
correct. majority of exceptional gems is from map bosses though. they even talked about maven witnessing being good for farming gems.

>>559153406
You're a bit late to the party. All the serious players have already finished a 2 voidstone practice run with their build.

>>559153370
Probably better for bossing, but it's pretty irrelevant while mapping.

>>559153531
>practice runs
>actually planning beyond main skill + ascendancy
nonsense

>>559153304
counting all pinnacles + guardians and league bosses (delve/heist/abyss/bestiary/expedition/etc.)
there are over 60 which is enough to house every support

>>559153469
you realize that theres like 40 exceptional gems right.
also i just realized, what are the chances that ggg is unfathomably based for once and sirus drops his apparition gem?

>>559153523
are you sure? i remember them saying the opposite, that maven witness is still good because of astrolabes but theres no more gems from maven invites and only a few from maven herself

Tell me about BANE

>>559153523
they said maven has chisels and no gems, not sure where you heard witnessing drops gems at all?

>>559153297
Even just 2 stacks at once is fine given that you're already using Spiritual Aid to scale the damage anyway. +80% extra lightning is nuts. That node alone is good enough for damage on a Holy Strike build, and you can proceed to go all in on block and reservation for the rest of your ascendancy and just ignore the minioncancer.

Just watch someone else do it and try to learn what tricks you can. If you know exactly when you get access to ideal gems and how to get the right links on your gear without screwing around too much, you can cut your time down fast.

>>559154203
Efficient killing and knowing layouts is 99% of the speed for normal players. Dont stop for any mechanic except essences. Kill all blue packs ignore whites and rares unless you are more then 3 levels under a zones level.

>>559154203
Reduce time in town and hideout are some of the biggest time savers. Know your gems and link colors ahead, make regex for your links, know where you put your skill points in at.

Redpill me on Static Strike

>>559153297
I don't think it's a problem. There's plenty of stuff. E.g. just put some supportive stuff to static strike and use it when you need it. Let's say it applies 2 stacks and you have also some spectres or golems to consume them. You also get 1-2 everytime you use holy strike. Should be pretty easy to keep it capped.

It snapshots exerts for the duration the beams are active, and the beams can activate shockwave. Hitting things with the strike part is usually awkward because you don't build much attack speed, but then you get time to run and autobomb until you need to wind it up again 7 second later.

>>559154789
nothing easier or cheaper than dex stacking templar

Efficiency when you are low dps. If you can one or two tap a rare then rares are good to kill but if you cant then you should be ignoring.

Blue packs give good xp and still are one tapped for most builds.

Regular Static Strike is mostly played by pseudo-autobombers with 300d+ to burn (Shockwave version) and masochists (non-Shockwave)
Nu-Static Strike is lightning Wild Strike that doesn't need the Combat Focus jewels

>>559154952
the fact that its phys convert doesnt really matter if you arent actually stacking phys damage, which is what hh scales via phys as extra buffs
but yeah its fine, you still get some damage and aoe and a lot of defenses and some speed and hopefully not shroud walker

What ascendancy is better for SRS into Holy Relic of Conviction? Guardian or Necromancer? I played an SRS Guardian back in affliction and it was tanky as fuck and had pretty decent damage. But a lot has changed since then. If I want to be able to do all content (ubers, simulacrum etc), which would be better?

>>559155672
That's why the duration buff is good, but if you don't like the playstyle then it's not going to be that different.

>>559155843
guardian is better until you transition to poison. necro is better after you do.

>>559154098
If your goal is to max out the 80% gain as lightning and less so the minion/consume damage then I wouldn't use holy strike either but a skill that has naturally high hit rate and phys purity + other smaller minions to trigger

>>559154952
Don't know how the question exactly relates to headhunter, but Smite is great. In Settlers SSF playing Smite, I lost to the top Lightning Strike player by only around three hours on ladder placing somewhere top 10. LS was subsequently nerfed, but Smite is as good as ever. My plan was just to get as much overlapping mechanics as possible (Abyss, Breach, Jun, Harbringer, Beyond), and clear everything with one Vaal Smite.

Because the loading is only for FULL MAP mirages, aka basically a second map. The normal mirages aren't going to have loading screen.

maata's teaching gives 10% base crit to minions and is barely used,minion crit builds just aren't super popular to begin with. There's other ways to do it like ancient skull, play SRS of enormity (which straight up always crit all the time), the uber drop that shares all charges with minions, sniper's mark+precision+brittle ground boots, but but with that same gear slot and support gem and passive tree investment you can do more damage more easily just stacking poison or some shit. Instead of Assassin's Mark you could just use Sniper's Mark with some curse effect for straight up 50% more damage, etc
I played ancient skull lightning crit minions in mercenaries, you could literally just switch out the cyclone+cast while channeling links for holy strike and be fine
all the streamers who have never played a minion build getting baited by this shit is hilarious though, can't wait for the act 6 rerolls as they realize it's just melee absolution.

Being mace/staff only means you can't even do some of the Maata's Teaching crit setups that are already considered mediocre and unpopular.

"a good two-hander" will end up having the same or less damage as the base damage of regular minion skills, and it has anti-synergy where the affixes and stats that make for a high DPS two-hand weapon make for a shitty minion build weapon since it won't have +minion levels or the benefits of dedicated minion buffing uniques. A good two handed weapon also means you can't use a shield, even if a warstaff can make up for that somewhat with block investment and staff masteries.

It's basically Holy Relic except instead of releasing an aoe when you attack its an animated weapon swing. The fact it's like base dominating blow and doesn't have inherent spiritual aid scaling also means your own damage won't even be equal to one of your minions, or you just give up on minion scaling and play a different strike entirely

I found my archmage crema necro, I missed that. does anyone even know that cremation exist nowadays? don't think I hear about that skill anymore

Here's a free tip. Please don't tell reddit. I don't mind the giving the knowledge cause I play SSF...
SAVE YOUR WRITHING JARS! The price will skyrocket!
(1) Screams of the Desiccated needs something to fill your flasks with
(2) Shotgun bosses with Holy Sweep by spawning worms at their feet
(3) Insane demand because every player will need 5

>>559158631
what if no one plays holy sweep

>>559158631
They are going to nerf it to a % of the mobs hp like they did before with other skills

>>559158602
>with crits in mind
using a 10% base crit weapon will not significantly change your dps, minion crit builds were already crit capping. At best it saves you an implicit on your boots no longer needing brittle ground.

the fact you're losing out on a +gem level weapon already means you'll do like 40% less damage, even +5% base crit isn't worth that.

They should unironically heavily nerf spectres and AG until they're not mandatory picks for literally every minion build

>>559158408
This, Holy Strike is a literal Diabloesque noob trap skill that is anti-synergistic with itself on a fundamental level.

I still end up using Arma Brand/Cremation on any caster Templar or Witch for leveling out of habit.
Also Cremation still gets some use from CWS faggots using that spell poison meme dagger that came out last league.

>>559158662
Even if you don't play holy sweep, it's still a decent choice. It's either that, instant mana flask, instant life flask, or a tincture. For every slot.

I would be fine with them backporting Companions from poe2, where you have a default Companion limit of 1 and there's uniques or a keystone to increase it at a cost. Then they can also buff Golems and Reaper and make them count as companions.

It's just a dogshit skill bro, Dom Blow can steal rares which makes them not even close, Holy Strike only barely sidegrades the basic bitch white mobs. It doesn't even come close to what Animate Weapon of Self Reflection can do, the less comparison to AW or AG the better, and worst of all you NEED to throw yourself into melee and name lock right click for them to do anything at all.

>>actually building crit doesnt even make you do more damage
It's not "building crit doesn't make you do more damage", it's "copying your weapon stats instead of having its own minion base damage is not a benefit, even when building crit."
you would rather have your mainhand and offhand slot free to use actual minion items instead of being forced to use a high dps mainhand while still losing out on like 40% to 50% damage from losing two equipment slots worth of gem level and buffs.

Endgame attack minion builds use something like pic related+Squire to 8-link their main minions' damage. Your warstaff is not providing more benefit than this which is basically a 9-link.

>>559158602
He's not me (who did the initial math). I admit my omission of the crit, but there's no easy math to do for something that concerns building your character and prioritizing passives. Just for a quick example, I picked a well performing Dom blow build that uses crit and doubled their base crit. Got +24.5% total dps. Pretty good, I admit, but not something that will totally shift the scales. Btw, Maata's teaching will be on the new Scion ascendancy, so we'll see if it becomes more popular now that it doesn't occupy a limb.

the best SSF build will always be something that doesnt rely on trading for gems and works even with dogshit gear, which will always be Guardian (whcih is also the best Ruthless ascendancy, to the point it had to get ruthless exclusive nerfs and even then it's still the best) because even naked you are carried by elemental relic and sentinel of radiance until red maps

the real test should be setting the minions' base crit to whatever the player's weapon is. A good minion weapon and a good high dps crit weapon are at opposing odds with each other

it's a prefix competing with damage, which is the entire reason you're using a skill that copies your weapon.
this isn't poe2 where gem level is a suffix and therefore mandatory on every item ever

Early game will be kinda stale since there's no borrowed power powercreep until you get a non-bricked 7L or some new meme exceptional gem.
But then there's definitely gonna be some busted Mirage farm to be abused that'll fly under the radar like double Evolution fractured rares Alva. Someone will definitely snitch on week 1 so hopefully there's more than one of those.

this is also why one of the most popular builds for Animated Weapon of Self Reflection, the most directly comparable skill to Holy Strikes, uses Energy Blade or Ephemeral Edge since they can just stack energy shield for simultaneous offense and defense.

The fact that you want a massive phys weapon that's competing with those mods. You're going to use a two-handed staff or mace and be happy :)

>what's stopping you from doing that with holy strike?
the elder and shaper modifiers that make attack minion skills incredibly overpowered with squire are prefixes which compete with flat ele damage or % increased phys. You could do it with holy strikes but at that point copying your weapon will be an enormous downside, not a benefit.
That's the entire point being argued, the best weapons for minion builds do not make for good high dps attacking weapons because you only have 6 affixes available on weapons and only 3 of those are prefixes. If you want an 800 dps staff it can't also be a shaper/elder 9-link. Dominating Blow, Animated Guardian, Animated Weapon of Ranged Arms, Specters, etc. don't use your weapon like Animated Weapon of Self Reflection and now Holy Strikes do.

This axe has less than 250dps but is giving 50 million out of 100 million damage to a 6-linked AG. Holy Strikes cannot use weapons like this because it has to roll %increased phys and flat ele as prefixes to be better than a random white base off the ground. Elder and Shaper shit is a large part of why Squire is so expensive every league, besides the block and defensive benefits of a shield you also get to cheat with the 1h modifiers applying to a full 6-link.

>>559162793
Oh actually you can't even use it because it's a sword. It's so over for holy strike bros.

>>559162793
well and part of it is, if you're already playing Energy Blade and scaling minion damage......why are you playing Holy Strike and not Animated Weapon of Self Reflection, which doesn't lock you in place standing still to attack because your minions are cosmetic decorations without you swinging?

all I'm saying is, there's a reason GGG made this the new level 1 starting gem that Templar spawns on the beach with, and it's not because they wanted new players to feel what it's like to be overpowered right from twilight strand....

the best skill in terms of mechanics for holy strikes is Animated Weapon of Self Reflection, which doesn't have the no-swords restriction holy strikes does and which is most commonly played with energy shield or ephemeral edge (which is just energy shield as a unique)
