you could use Doon Cuebiyari to allow Baron's bonus to apply to sockted spectres, it also has a nice strength roll. or you could use iron will in general. I've seen a build that used that with flame sentinels to pretty good effect. in fact I'm pretty sure my SC build will be a Baron Build with flame or ice sentinels

what weapon / offhand were you thinking?

I am thinking about using a crit EK nova build for 3.0. An occultist, actually.

Does anyone have any experience with it? How bad is physical reflect if I don't have a vinktars?

I am tryign to go a little hipster with it. Want to do quad (or penta) curse, with 3 on blasphemy.

Is http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Broken_Faith with atziri flask, and vaal pact enough to survive reflect if I am hitting with big phys numbers? How about if I throw on a cwdt warlord's mark that will curse out when I hit reflect (or will it be too late?)

One shot reflect hits instantly even before your vaal pact can heal you.
Also didn't GGG say that in 3.0 Vaal Pact no longer works with ES?!

it wouldn't be an ES build, it would be hybrid (mostly life)

and ok so basically the answer is "keep the phys numbers reasonable so that you don't instantly die"

@Evo I dunno, I haven't found a fun SC build to play yet. Wander is an obvious choice but dont really feel like it, seems like it'd be too similar to my bow char (barrage OP woo). I tried crit FB but the unarmed range is so bad, only totems seems good. Summoner is always fast and I can dick around with random spectres. if anyone has idea for a stupid SC build I'm all ears

@sob3k sounds interesting, what ascendency were you thinking?

I've got an interaction I'd really like to test, if anyone is interested and is playing beta.

The item is:



So this item gives some very unique burning damage effects, and the standout 100% all physical to fire conversion in one item.

The hampering line being the "You can only deal damage with this weapon and ignite"

Now, in 2.6 ignite/burning damage was calculated based on the damage of the hit that inflicted it, now in 3.0 they have been entirely separated. If this item was coded to simply set all of you other skills to hit for zero, that would have accomplished their goal in 2.6, but in 3.0 it's now possible to inflict a powerful ignite and burn from a hit that actually deals zero damage.

If the item was indeed coded this way, you might be able to use it in 3.0 to 100% convert (for example) Bear Trap's very high physical base damage into a very strong burn effect (which can be proliferated etc), despite the weapon mod making the trap hit for zero.

I don't know, might work, might not. Would be interesting to see.

what's the bug? couldn't find info

the 50% faster burn is the unique part, if you can keep burns up it's a 50% more multiplier

i'm pretty sure flameblast will have similar or better ignites than a phys conversion build (much more convenient to play too), so I suppose if you don't take advantage of the 50% faster burn then not much use in the build

Path of Building is untrustworthy at the moment, imo. I was watching theuberelite stream flameblast elementalist non crit, was very good in red maps even lacking passive points and ascendency points
