Only faggots play HC. Such a waste of time.
Worst league
When does flameblast become faster than firestorm for leveling?
>>144550191
I agree. It feels even worse than perandus. Finish two mtx challenges and then move on to better things. Steam summer sale is around the corner too.

Bravo GGG.
hi i am new to the game and have a question with the bloodlust gem
say i am playing earthquake and have gladiator 25% chance to bleed, does the bloodlust gem connected to earthquake cause it to not ever bleed?
>>144556874
Kill yourself my man
>>144556874

>>144557104
Correct.
No skill linked to Bloodlust can cause Bleed.
>>144557369
Fuck off
>>144557251
>>144557427
>not liking freeposter
Kill yourself
>>144557374
thank you. so bloodlust is worthless gem for gladiator if i choose to pick up the bleed part of the tree right?
>>144557651
Correct, unless you use a second skill to apply Bleed.Don't, Bloodlust is just bad.

Ain't that something
Are ancestral warchief builds any fun to play?
So, does Pyre convert the dot from Vortex to fire damage?
Or can I use EE for the initial direct fire damage and let the cold dot benefit from it?
This shit is unplayable with the freezing (5+ seconds) and disconnects.
the fuck did they do to the game? sound system sounds like shit now too.
>>144560470
buy tabs
So I started to play again and decided to try Vortex and I hate it, I'd rather just use bladevortex and just melt everything.
How is Lacerate?
From what I saw it looked like reave, but not shit.

This is a friendly reminder that all classes not having access to all gems is great design.
Whats the point of accuracy besides making melee builds even shittier?

I remember I needed life leech on my witch and she's the only one who can't get it.
>>144562315
not being a casual baby game
>>144562460
But the only builds that have to deal with accuracy are melee builds and they are already bad enough.
is the Endgame Labyrinth hard?
>>144562187
THAT is one of the cancers this game has
along with >>144562315 and the shit i found on pic related, are stuff that shit ups actual gameplay and GGG won't acknowledge it
and dunno about other people but overall FPS is currently like 5x worse for me than it was last league.
of all the real problems this game has, GGG's paid trade band-aid and the currency tab, fix NOTHING
oh and non fotm builds/skills are still UTTER SHIT to use
>>144563035
>Penta-ghost is a bad thing
My frame rate is a smooth and perfect 60, but I experienced some heavy startup issues earlier.
Everything else, I agree is still a problem.
>>144563201
>Penta-ghost is a bad thing
on normal you need to reset that instance
it casted vaal storm call, chilled ground, flameblast and its normal revenant skills on rotation (since it had cannibal's it could eat its own summons to heal)
>>144563461
>On Normal
Okay, yeah, nevermind, that is bad.
I thought it was in like, Merciless or Maps.
I just figured out why Ancestral Warchief is so broken.
>attacks with a power MAIN HAND SLAM
>unequip offhand weapon
>DPS is halved
It's slamming with both my weapons when it was designed for only ever using 1 wep.
>>144562616
RT is a thing and all attacks roll accuracy so bows have to deal with it too
>>144564145
>Bows
>Have to go through a ton of Dex nodes anyway
>Get a ton of flat accuracy
Much less investment.
>>144564340
If you're trying to go crit melee as marauder or templar you're gonna have to make a huge investment
>>144564571
>tfw one the very first things I tried was making a crit staff templar
>>144564571
if you go juggernaut it's np
>>144564145
With the amount of dex nodes you get on a bow character accuracy is hardly a problem. If you're making some str bow character then thats a whole another story though.
Guys, i have a 17% quality CA.

>frame drops after every loading screen

Have you noticed how GGG make progressively "safe" decisions in terms of new content? There's less and less "extreme" stuff and what is extreme gets the Nerf bat until it's "slightly about casual."
>Make a select few skills each patch "powerful and obvious" and like 1 or 2 that are powerful but not obvious with the rest being dumpster tier
>Their "revamp" of the end-game was just to change what bosses are where, what tile sets are where, and change the maps visually
>Take out all the "fun" map mods
>No more IIQ with Sacrifice of the Vaal
Etc.
It just gets simplified further and further into specific niches with no real variety, one of the big things the game totes on.

You have to be a complete moron to rely solely on evasion.
EVA+Dodge/SpDodge+HP+Arctic Armor and Basalt Flask. Even block helps, considering that GGG nerfed block/dodge because of that untouchable build.
So whats a good class/ascendancy to mess around with the new totem?
>>144579480
Any build that relies on just 1 layer of something of defense is retarded

Going explosive arrow. What do I roll?
Elementalist or Chieftain?
Prolif seems neat and applying all the ailments is cool but explosive arrow rapes everything anyway so I'm not sure how useful that will be.
Chieftain looks good because the built-in leech and that straight up more damage modifier.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as "Faster Attacks", is in fact, Support/Faster Attacks, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, Faster Attacks Support. Faster Attacks is not a Path of Exile element unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning Support Gem system made useful by the Path of Exile corelibs, utilities and vital system components comprising a full game as defined by GGG.
Many gamers use our Support Gem system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the type of Support Gems which are widely used today are often called by the name of the gem, many of its users are not aware that it is basically Support Gems they are using, developed by GGG. There really is a Faster Attacks, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the Support Gem system.
Faster Attacks is the function of the gem: the program in the Support Gem system that allocates the machine’s resources to the character that you use. The gem is an essential part of Path of Exile, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete Support Gem system; the whole system is basically Support with Faster Attacks added, or Faster Attacks Support. All the so-called Faster Attacks gems are really distributions of Faster Attacks Support.

And thats when I decided I'm playing HC next leave, this is some bullshit, there's literally no competition in SC, no one who plays at a high level. If i hadn't went to bed when I hit 75 on my witch 10 hrs into the league, I genuinely could have made a run for first league 90. etup beat SC to 90, on his fuckign reroll, fuck this, I don't give a shit that I cna jew infinitely more efficiently in SC, this is some bullshit, as much as I like ot trade, I also enjoy the game.

Fuck. I'm regretting this build now. It's fun and fast in 99% of scenarios but being completely unable to do a map mod is a deal breaker. I thought if I did most of my damage through chaos it'd be fine but apparently not.
