    Update on the new toxic rain mechanics because i messed up and don't want to mislead people

    Posted: 17 Apr 2021 01:26 AM PDT

    Image explaining what i was seeing during my visual test compared to how it works ingame: https://imgur.com/a/PxXI6s8

    green is the circle i was asuming was a hitbox visually, blue is what the actual hitbox ingame is and red are projectiles

    I was wrong, visual test is misleading and it was my mistake for trusting visuals, i also tested it against a circular target but enemy hitboxes aren't circular after doing some googling

    It seems that the extra overlap is now entirely dependent on the targets hitbox

    i did a visual test, in hindsight it wasn't the best move, Remi made a 100% chance to hit/poison test with golden rule and i repeated it

    On humanoid and smaller targets it caps at 4 overlap, however i then did a test on a bit larger target and reached 5

    so it depends on your targets hitbox, i'm going to asume that most endgame bosses have hitboxes of humanoid targets unless someone knows better because info is hard to find by a quick google search

    Video of remis test: https://clips.twitch.tv/DarlingSneakyAlbatrossBuddhaBar-EcIhjOrgi0_OfUGV Video of my test on larger target: https://youtu.be/5SWLekH1Us4

    edit: i'm not going to say this to try and justify myself, because i decided to trust visuals over doing a proper test with available tools and that was a big mistake, because there are many other misleading visuals in the game that i know about and i should have known better

    but you have to understand that i was barely able to log in for more than 5 minutes like most other people and i got excited after actually seeing the 5 overlap and though "hey this is actually pretty great" and went ahead of myself and posted something that wasn't properly tested

    Thoughts on new skills so far?

    Posted: 17 Apr 2021 01:47 AM PDT

    Due to the awful launch I didn't get a chance to play yesterday. My league start will technically be this evening so I'm wondering how people are finding the new skills so far, specifically reap and exsanguinate.

    Thoughts on new build-enabling uniques?

    Posted: 16 Apr 2021 10:10 PM PDT

    Let's theorycraft while we're bored waiting for servers: https://imgur.com/a/ovdNxxN

    Steelworm: impale ofc and would want at least 3 attacks/sec to maintain buff. Any other synergies? Lioneye's Fall jewel doesn't reach the axe impale stuff... Split Arrow Barrage with Great Old One gloves for AoE clearspeed?

    Relic of the Past: Flameblast/RF hybrid?! Reserves 3% life per 0.25 seconds apparently, scaling up with support gem cost modifiers. Radius and damage goes up with amount reserved, so increasing cost would indirectly reduce time spent channeling. So I wonder if Arrogance could still support it for doubled cost? And 80% more damage per 10 life spent, so ofc want to stack max life and flat added spell damage. Can't do battlemage cause skill on wand, so how else would you get big flat?

    Atziri's Rule: both spells are area & big added dmg effectiveness. Spell cascade disabled, so what other support gems would scale both? Ele pen, conc effect, controlled destruction, and maybe less duration is beneficial? Seems Trinity wouldn't work because triggered spells? Can't do cast on crit/channel shenanigans either then

    My Arc Guide is updated for 3.14 now! tl;dr: about the changes: more survivability, less burst damage, similar sustained damage as in 3.13.

    Edit: If you run this and have trouble at endgame (some do), this guide may help.

    FYI: Indigon got stealth nerfed

    Posted: 16 Apr 2021 08:17 PM PDT

    For anyone who was thinking of using Indigon with the new life cost skills like I was, Indigon now increases generic cost of skills instead of just mana cost.

    How do you level with BB Chieftain?

    Is EK the way to go? Holy Flame totem? Something else? Also, should I go for BB at level 28 or wait until unleash?

    3 hours to go and I haven't decided on a build

    Posted: 16 Apr 2021 09:31 AM PDT

    Flame slinger seems good but maybe lack of single damage will feel bad? Vaal GS seems good but maybe too piano gameplay? Vortex occultist never tried that before. Please send help.

    What are the differences between scion and glad exsang/reap?

    Posted: 17 Apr 2021 04:21 AM PDT

    Hi there!

    Planing so start with exsang/reap but cant decide between booth.

    According to poe ninja most of the HC people are using scion so i think scion is more tanky?

    Which one is more mistake forgiving/tanky?

    Reap & Exsanguinate Occultist (Self-cast)

    Posted: 17 Apr 2021 03:49 AM PDT

    So I whipped together a rather simple build, since I haven't seen anyone go about this the Occultist way. I'm looking for some feedback - mainly from people who have tried the skills already or just everyone that enjoys being a bit of a PoB warrior.

    The main idea is to have good AoE with Reap by stacking up some power charges and focusing on on-hit damage, rather than the DoT. Exsanguinate is used with Unleash to hit 3 DoT stacks with each cast and/or cover more targets with the linked (Hextouch) curses - Vulnerability and Assassin's Mark.

    Casting both of these using Life allows us to reserve all of our Mana with Vitality, Pride, Flesh & Stone and Precision. The curses, besides providing the obvious benefits are also effectively a clear-speed boost due to Profane Bloom explosions.

    Here's a really simple PoB - any ideas for improvement (without absurd gear requirements) are very welcome!

    Miner vs Flameslinger for League Start

    Posted: 16 Apr 2021 11:59 PM PDT

    Haven't quite made my choice yet between either blazing salvo miner or flameslinger and would appreciate some input. Ideally I'd like to farm bosses and clear maps with one character if possible. I know miner is better for single target but I haven't tried flameslinger, so I'm not sure how serious I would need to invest to get respectable single target vs miner.

    Exsanguinate poison trapper, could it work?

    Posted: 17 Apr 2021 03:14 AM PDT

    The new blood spells are unique of its kind: it has a large physical hit component and also a large Phys DPS component.

    Focusing on one of those two seems to waste the other stats. Also I really want to utilize the Corrupting Fever gem, while trying out the new skills since they both look good in number.

    So we need to scale duration, damage over time, somehow find enough sustain and cast rate to cast Exsanguinate 5 times per second for max Corrupting Fever stack (assuming we get 100% increased duration). I could achieve that with a self cast setup combined with spell echo and some cast speed but I was thinking, if I have to waste a gem slot for that may as well go trap instead?

    Advantage of traps over self-cast: 1. Sustain is a non issue with Tinkerskin and Saboteur regen. 2. Instantly gains enough stack for Exsanguinate and Corrupting Fever. 3. Auto targeting and better clear speed, since we trigger multiple instances of Exsanguinate with each cast. From the Mathil Stream yesterday the self-cast clear speed looks pretty bad, and I don't think it will get better later on. The cone seems too narrow. Also we can weapon swap to clear speed setup with Mirebough, easy 6 link, with Chain Support and maybe Charged Trap Support. 4. Saboteur provides 10% Life Sustain which we can convert to ES Sustain, combined Tinkerskin ES sustain I think we have enough reason to go ES later. Then we can switch to Low-Life to take advantage of the new Petried Blood gem and Pain Attunment, thus using the new league gems to its fullest.

    I want to go double Cold Iron Point, since the math says it means a 100% more multiplier for these new blood gems. What is nice is it also scales the Corrupting Fever gem and the hit damage. There is an unique Jewel that provides 25% chance to poison for trap and mine and some added phys damage (Coated Shrapnel ), so I think I can find enough poison chance on tree with not so big of investment. If we also scale poison then almost no stats are wasted, except we have to choose between Chaos DoT Multiplier or Phys DoT Multiplier.

    What do you think? Everything kind of fits in nicely to me.

    What's the best 1H+Shield Attack build right now?

    Posted: 17 Apr 2021 02:55 AM PDT

    I would love something that was very tanky, has good clear, and does decent bossing. Budget is almost no problem so long as there aren't many *required* gear pieces. Was looking at a Ground Slam Gladiator. Any other recommendations?

    If I'm doing a phys to fire 100% conversion, does the more physical damage still work? Would it apply the same way it would as if it was a phys node or would it not apply because it's a herald buff?
