@sn0 I dunno if you played occultist before when curses worked fully on bosses, but it was stupid absurd. uber atziri moving like she's in mud, dealing no damage. occ doesn't really need buff to bossing, it'll have a huge ES pool and wicked ward, and it's damage was already good enough. I think occultist is a very strong option, but it's still not that speedy

slayer didn't get anything but the old slayer builds aren't really affected (minus self bleed stuff), though since everything else is buffed it may fall behind

hierophant buffs seem really good, but when ur totems are killing the beasts too fast it'll suck xD if it wasn't for that I'd for sure roll hiero

@Yango yeah power creep since beta has been insaneeee, but 3.0 was a huge dip down in power. I forgot if you played in double dipping era, but then the damage was 2-3x what we have now, with easy to get 11-14k ES pools. and pre nerf VP. We've powercrept since 3.0, but it's still not the most insane time in PoE, in my opinion.

personally, I'm fine with some power buffs to increase enthusiasm in underused ascendencies. I think the game is in a better state than in 2.5-2.6

I mean, sure you wont have full 20% when running around but It'll always be up at some decent amount I figure. when fighting you only need 2.5 aps to cap which is trivial especially since that's more like 2.1 APS before tailwind.

My only problem is that apart from 1k evasion, deadeye doesn't actually solve "problems" that archers have. sure it makes u fast and dps but not really any life fixes, only meh dmg/aoe applications if you take the actual good nodes etc. Insane for windripper farming characters sure but i'm not certain it's going to be very high tier maps viable for garbage players like me.

Still very powerful compared to old deadeye that's for sure, plus having a deadeye giving you tailwind sounds very hype.

Edit: Hmmm so saboteur.

Mines got literally nothing, and a lot of their power got delayed an ascendancy (no longer AoE from normal lab), but there's literally no change overall for the 4 points (2 notables) you sink into mines.

Traps got some nice buffs (extra chance to trigger twice, more CDR, you get some CDR from normal lab) but I don't think it's enough to make traps playable.

After sinking 4 points into traps or mines, you can take any 2 of the remaining 3 notables. Explosives expert is probably still a no brainer since the pen is probably too good, and losing 10% of phys gained as fire isn't too relevant when you gain 20% aoe and 20% increased area damage. Then you can choose the defensive blind notable (which got condensed into one) or the regen/ailment immunity one, which sounds pleasant but not actually good. Although I guess miners would probably get like 15+% regen in bossfights, so maybe that's good. Yeah you basically get both the old blind notables for 1 now and it's still probably worse than 25% reduced mana cost and some regen.

Not a bad rework tbh. I kiiiiinda wanna try a miner but if i'm going to play a 0 qol build this league it has to be hierOPhant totems right?

I did that in uber lab when I played Warchief Totems and had to stop them from killing golems or whatever. It works but it can be sketchy when you accidentally unequip your chest piece, not just the gem

I haven't done the math b/c I'm not rolling a ranger early league, but yea I think it's better than raider. you can look at this video if you want regarding speed -+ Show Spoiler +

Raider has some nice QoL (immunity, charge generation, free onslaught?) but the travel nodes don't offer damage, and the nodes themselves offer less raw damage at a glance. tailwind is like a mini-acceleration shrine it's pretty busted
