So has anyone been trying out new buffed Ranged Totem?
I am in the process of leveling a Elementalist totem user with end game goal of using AW with Ngamahu's Flame and Xoph's Blood. But both those items are pretty expensive.
For now I am using Flame Totems to level and clear but I was thinking of switching to Xoph's Nurture and ranged totem+Blast Rain. For some reason Xoph's Nurture are super cheap on trade (1-2 chaos for a good roll) while Ngamahu's Flame with a good roll are 50+ chaos.
What gems would you suggest?
I was thinking RangedTotem+BlastRain+AddedFire (or Fire Penetration)+WEA+either Faster Attacks or Point Blank Support in a 5L
Another option would be to grab Avatar of Fire and do RangedTotem+Rain of Arrow+Added Fire(or Fire Penetration)+WEA+ FAster Attacks or Point Blank in a 5L
EDIT: Rain of Arrows seems better for Ignite based build since it has better base damage. I will probably need to test both in the field to see how they both kill stuff
What quiver would be good for this?
Corrupted Signal Fire can be bought for up to 5c (and I don't need AoF) or should I go for some decent rare quiver?
EDIT: Seems I could go Signal Fire with Rain of Arrows for 100% total fire conversion or I could go Skirmish (+1 totem) with Blast Rain or AoF+Rain of Arrows for 100% total fire conversion.
I was even thinking I would be using both melee and ranged weapons in end game with specializing AW for boss killing and Ranged Totem for breach clearing. For breaches I don't need axe's 20% fire penetration and for boss killing I don't need better AoE and ignite proliferation.

Pretty sure Nugiyen played some Ranged Attack Totem build, maybe you can find it. It was fairly decent and it didn't surprise me one bit, the gem got buffed quite a bit.
edit: I searched myself and didn't find it, either he deleted the char or respecced to something different.

I'm cursed to never make it past lvl 88 I think. Died in 7 mod t11 to breach. Summoned Tul and things didnt go well =[.
If I roll again will probably be sc purely for achievements, though at the moment I have no real desire to.

giving away 70c. pm me a number between 1-100. only requirement is that you've been playing BHC and that you can be online in the next 24h
e: nvm, anyone can enter, but if you're an SC player the chaos will be on HC so you'll need to find a way to transfer it (I believe it's legal to trade between temp leagues). or start a HC character :^)

How does the "change of essences" work when applying a remnant of corruption? Can I get a say Essence of Delirium only by corrupting highest tiers (i.e. Screaming) or also from lower tiers?

OK so after playing with ranged totem character using Xoph's Nurture and Signal Fire (corrupted version are cheap), it is pretty fun. Rain of Arrows is working well for me. Only slight problem is that this character does not have lots of attack speed and first fall of arrows takes 0.76s due to how Rain of Arrows works.
Using Ranged Totem+Rain of Arrows+Fire Pen+WED+Concentrated Effect (or Item Rarity for map clearing).
Clearing breaches is fun, I got two of these raining fire arrows on enemies while I run around under effect of Quicksilver, Granite and Silver flask throwing Vaal Lightning traps :D
For now I am using OoS linked with IncCrit and CoH+Flammability to apply both the curse and proc Elemental Overload, although in some future I would like to use Arc+SpellEcho+IncCrit+CoH+Flammability when I can get two 5L.
This is a life based build, I am going near 4000 hp now at lvl 76, playing on BSc.
Also I need to decide on my end game armor, not sure what to use.
I was thinking between Cloak of Flame and Belly of the Beast. Or maybe even Carcass Jack.
Any suggestions?
For future I still need to get Xoph's amulet to get those nice fire bonuses and Ngamahu's Flame for my second slot to switch to when fighting bosses (using AW).

I'm helping my brother with a new computer build. I don't play this game so I can't test performance myself, but does anyone have any good correlations between computer components and FPS? I was targetting an I5-6500 with a GTX 1070, and was curious to know if that rig would average anywhere near 144 fps at 1080p. That would result in him buying a new monitor but was curious to know. From what I've read the game is more CPU limited than GPU limited, so that would also be an impetus to improve that aspect of the build as well.
Thanks all

4k seems awfully low even for softcore. Especially considering how rippy breaches are. I'd go for belly of the beast since it also helps vs elemental damage (which is a huge thing in breaches imo). But that's just my 2c...

The one thing that I can say is that it still runs way better on NVidia cards than on AMD cards. Other than that, in big parties with certain skills pretty much any spec will drop fps and lag.

Yea that part I noticed definitely going with nvidia. Might try to install PoE and run it on my rig as a baseline

Well I am still doing low level yellow maps but don't have lots of problems so far. Two totems and 2 golems help to keep enemies away from me. Also I don't practice super fast map clearing so I don't risk as much.

Hate to be that guy, but I started playing again, never reached "endgame" ever, but I still want to try and make a DPS-based 2-hander Elemental Inquisitor.
Couldn't find any guides that didn't use 1 handers (and surprisingly, a lot of Dex) except for this one.
https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1744984
Seems worthwhile, or do any of you guys have a better/easier 2-handed based Templar build?
Thanks.

That build (or its concept anyway) is extremely good ( cause I did it last league ). However I'm not sure how easy it is to get Trypanon at the moment.

it's pretty good, you one shot pretty much everything. i have a slightly different tree that grabs more totem damage nodes (might be bit squishier) which is probably unnecessary. it's nice to freeze bosses though.
trypanon is a few chaos right now. i think i bought mine for like 10-ish early in the league.

OK, so now that I'm reasonably rich and farming steadily on a reasonable build, I think it's time to sink some currency into something stupid, pointless, hipsterish, and meme-laden. Here's what I'm thinking so far:
- Cast-while-Channeling Wither + Lightning Warp, using it constantly as my primary way of attacking and moving.
- Voltaxic Rift for lightning>chaos damage conversion, and so my chaos damage shocks.
- The Three Dragons so my remaining lightning damage freezes.
- Do most of my damage with Herald of Thunder and Herald of Ice, which proc when killing shocked and frozen enemies, respectively.
- The Writhing Jar, to consistently proc my Heralds.
- Vinktar for leech on my lightning damage (maybe, not sure if it's worth it with 60% of my lightning damage being converted to chaos)
I'm wondering:
- Should I go Pathfinder (for flask uptime and to consistently poison with my lightning spells), or Assassin (for more poison damage and crit stuff, but would need to find another source of poison and would have trouble keeping my flasks up)? Or maybe Occultist?
- Is it worth putting a Cast on Crit Essence Drain setup on my Herald of Thunder (to also be running ED+Contagion), or would I not have enough links for ED to do real damage?
- Should I use Pyre (so my Herald of Ice would deal fire damage, which would shock), or leave it as cold damage (which would ignite)?
- Any other suggestions?
(Yes, I am aware that this build is stupid and will probably never get past low maps.)

is there anything that plays similarly to a shotgun crusader from d3?
short-mid range conical damage that increases as you get closer to your target. lots of stutter stepping
or jade witch doctor where you cast a bunch of dots then nuke things based on like 30 seconds of future dot damage?
