What methodology do you think GGG has when it comes to balancing (nerfing) builds? Posted: 24 Jan 2022 04:32 AM PST Wanted to see what y'all think, so here's my question in full: What is your best attempt at fully writing out exactly how you think GGG balances and particularly nerfs and kills builds each big patch? What points would that paragraph contain? Would it contain points like: They kill builds that are good from league start to finish They balance builds to refresh the meta and to get other people to try new things They kill the things I love We can check the manifesto to (approximately) see which one of us got it the closest. EDIT: Just to clarify why I focused towards emphasizing the nerfs instead of the buffs. I personally feel that GGG's philosophy in nerfing builds is much clearer than their philosophy in buffing builds. That's why I think we'll have a better discussion talking about their nerf philosophy, but if you wanna earn bonus points, feel free to talk about your understanding of their buff philosophy too. submitted by /u/hey_bb_want_dog_pics [link] [comments]

CwC Blight+Soulrend w/ Battery Staff Scourge SC (Showcase) Posted: 23 Jan 2022 04:22 PM PST Felt like sharing my somewhat of a meme build, made for end of league fun because i loved Soulrend back in Synthesis league and felt like revisting it (and Celestial Soulrend mtx is very nice I think). Gem swaps Swift Affliction with GMP for mapping/bossing. Minotaur map (plus gear and gems) https://youtu.be/L3xWinN0Xio Sirus A8 https://youtu.be/uExOUEWcpb8 Current pob as of these recordings https://pastebin.com/PYt4ahEq submitted by /u/Ninebreaker87 [link] [comments]

Dancing Dervish - Trigger skills via Intuitive link Posted: 24 Jan 2022 05:11 AM PST In the light of the new The Dancing Dervish i started to wonder, if you could use Intuitive Link on them to proc things like Desecrate or Detonate Dead. Any idea if that works? submitted by /u/TheAnticat01 [link] [comments]

How can ppl have weapons with poisonous concoction build? Posted: 23 Jan 2022 07:13 PM PST I'm just testing out PC and notice on POE ninja that everyone's got weapons, however whenever I equip one, my skill can't be used. I don't want to be a huge noob and go without a weapon - any ideas? The build guide i'm following also doesn't have a weapon though which seems weird. Thanks ​ Answered - Thanks for the answer! submitted by /u/Firewalkerr [link] [comments]

Make build firestorm with spell totem support Posted: 24 Jan 2022 06:18 AM PST Hello. I make totem firestorm build, but the maximum was able to reach 200 thousand dps ​ help me do better pob link: https://pastebin.com/tEiXkvkB submitted by /u/NormalSet3840 [link] [comments]

I am having troubles surviving Posted: 23 Jan 2022 11:14 PM PST https://pastebin.com/48WCZ9dY is my hierophant in scourge, he seems to be really squishy are there any changes i can make to make him tankier? i currently have vortex on left click and try to trigger arcane cloak on cooldown. submitted by /u/ABoredPerson [link] [comments]

Mirror Arrow Voidfletcher Posted: 23 Jan 2022 11:05 PM PST I want to try the mirror arrow Voidfletcher build, and want to know if it is worth it? I also don't have a lot of currency left so what are the "mandatory" items other than Voidfletcher? submitted by /u/revengechucky [link] [comments]

help with a dex stacker i am using Posted: 23 Jan 2022 11:29 PM PST hey i was trying to build a dex stacker but was getting 10x less dps comapred to a build my friend suggested me can i please know why most of the damage is not there https://pastebin.com/cnkEs7dp-my build https://pastebin.com/8hSRr661 his build submitted by /u/Stalin--- [link] [comments]

Poisonous concoction nerf predictions? Posted: 23 Jan 2022 11:08 PM PST How bad would the nerfs need to be to make it not a great leaguestart skill? submitted by /u/Jaskamof [link] [comments]

Ignite levelling? Posted: 23 Jan 2022 10:46 PM PST Have a build in mind for league start, will be able to get most of the required uniques pretty cheap, as its a hipster build and unlikely to be nerfed. Just wondering what skills i could use for levelling an ignite based elementalist through the story at a decent pace? submitted by /u/karp_490 [link] [comments]

Question regarding impale and shield crush Posted: 23 Jan 2022 10:04 PM PST Hey folks, a friend of mine is playing a shield crush berserker and they are using Poe ninja for a general guide. Every build seems to be using impale, but I thought after 3.15 that impale was absolutely dead. Are people using impale because there's literally nothing better to slot in, or is impale not as dead as we were lead to believe? It got nerfed so hard, it's difficult to imagine that it's still usable. submitted by /u/0ngar [link] [comments]

Dancing Dervish Question Posted: 23 Jan 2022 09:21 PM PST With the info released about this sword, it got me thinking a build idea. If you chanced this on an elder/shaper base, would it gain the effects from an Eternity Shroud/Replica? Or does this only affect your damage from your hits? I'm not very familiar with anything minion related, but I love it when I can use an Eternity Shroud! submitted by /u/bl604 [link] [comments]

Looking to make a cold based build next league. Posted: 24 Jan 2022 12:40 AM PST I'm thinking of making a freezing pulse/ice spear build. Freezing pulse for mapping and ice spear to chunk bosses. Been out of the loop for a few years so i have no idea what works and what dont work anymore so i'd appreciate the help. P.s i'd preffer selfcast since im not a big fan of totems/traps/etc. submitted by /u/IMIv2 [link] [comments]

Standard Cyclone Impale Posted: 23 Jan 2022 08:23 PM PST I wanted to come back after a hiatus and see if i could still use the strongest build I ever made. Here is the link to my updated POB https://pastebin.com/KWPEJMXB After looking at an updated build I filled out my tree similar to his. I have 10 skill points to work with. The build is at 86% impale without the impale gem and I was wondering how to get 100% another way. I have some currency to work with to help flesh out this build. I think it was originally played in Scourge . submitted by /u/yoxgit [link] [comments]

Fastest build to level a Death's Oath Occultist? Posted: 23 Jan 2022 04:42 PM PST I tried poison concoction and loved it during delve and Heist event but I won't have gems until end of act 3 - 6. Any better idea? Maybe spellslinger? This league was my first time using it and turns pretty good as Inquisitor with armaggedon brand and the meteor one but my end build was fire oriented so I didn't need to respect that many points. And which spellslinger version? Any pob/YouTube video or whatever is appreciated, thanks. submitted by /u/Tatocubano [link] [comments]

help with a dex stacking build Posted: 23 Jan 2022 09:54 PM PST hey i was trying to build a dex stacker but was getting 10x less dps comapred to a build my friend suggested me can i please know why most of the damage is not there https://pastebin.com/cnkEs7dp-my build https://pastebin.com/8hSRr661 his build submitted by /u/Stalin--- [link] [comments]

Tornado Shot Projectiles calc Posted: 23 Jan 2022 04:22 PM PST I need some help here calculating projectiles. Assume I shoot 4 Tornado Shot projectiles with an enchant. Going by the wiki I can hit a single target 4 times. With hydrosphere from my understanding, extra projectiles can chain back through it introducing a shotgun effect. Now add in a 21 snipers mark and the projectiles now also split 5 different ways adding 5 more arrows. That would be 4 + 5 + shotgun correct? So that means I can hit a (possible) maximum of 9 times + shotgunning on hydrosphere correct? submitted by /u/ToMuchShineOut [link] [comments]

Battlemages cry and the Inquisitor playstyle Posted: 23 Jan 2022 04:19 PM PST Hey all, I'm theorycrafting an inqusitor, as I think I might finally have a build to work with battlemage and battlemages' cry. For the build the general concept is to marry ice crash with debeons dirge and warcries. With crit and a large chunk of flat increased damage I am hoping I can make up for the lack of physical damage to scale from. With that I was thinking about either casting a spell or using battlemages cry to make Spell casting more brain dead and increasing my crit chance. That being said has anyone tried to get good use out of battlemages cry? What were you feelings on it? Has anyone used fanaticism and found it worthwhile? Thanks! submitted by /u/memnoch3434 [link] [comments]
