Kind of like Wither for cold skills. Would this work or am I reading the skill gem wrong? | ||

Realistically ngamahus and cospris have very similar base crit amounts. I see very few reasons why you'd want to use ngamahu's over cospris. Yeah that was one of the problems, it has bad attack speed and crit. The reason I had the idea was that it shoots a lot of balls so thought maybe the balls + having CoC from the balls and from the attack in the chest would be strong, but I really don't know. | ||

but it's for fun! btw this thread indicates that you should decrease your attackspeed to sync the server tick rates rather than increasing it? The (no cooldown reduction) actual cd of a 0,15s cd trigger would be 0,1815s. and a desired aps of 5.51. That can't be right. fucked up math, should be actual cd of 0,165 and desired aps of 6,06. | ||

Not sure what to do if single target turns out to be crap. I was thinking of going for new Carcass Jack so I can get that sweet 50% inc AoE, maybe the projectiles from Winter Orb overlap in that case. | ||

I probably will go Hiero/Chieftain Ballista build, seems strong and I would love to see how leeching with totems feels. :D | ||

If it only lasts while the free Fortify buff lasts, than that might be "normal". With 100 stages that is only 5s base duration of 60% reduction of all non DoT damage :D Also the War Banner seems like it could be useful for anyone even if just for the free adrenaline during a boss fight. If you can collect 200 to 300 kills during mapping that is 10 to 15s of adrenaline and adrenaline is insane and works for spells or attacks. 10% mana reservation during mapping is not a lot, even for MoM builds. | ||

All you need is the 2 jewels then rest of gear can be basic day 1 leveling gear. Can just farm a tabula in BA and buy a pyre ring and you're pretty much set till red maps. Items you probably want to get fast though are 2x drillnecks and a chin sol for proper single target dmg on your weapon swap. But yea until you can get both the jewels leveling with ele hit is probably pretty bad in comparison to other things, although I haven't tried it to be fair." " dual wield consecrated path, taking marauder and duelist nodes" This is what I got from dannyboy. Any more trips? | ||

I think I read it changes to stage 2 after hitting an enemy? Won't that make it *god awful* against bosses? | ||

It's a shotgunning skill. Scale it by getting more projectiles and it should wreck bosses. See https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2241894 | ||

Anyways, I'm starting with an arc mine sabo, I think. I have a few hipster builds I'd like to mess around with... Sire of Shards Frostbolt w/ Vortex using Inpulsa should be pretty fun, and also an Obscurantis/Oskarm/Hinekora bow Jugg seems like it could be not too expensive while not being too squishy while still churning out some good DPS. | ||

I was planning to self cast Frostbomb to debuff enemies as its debuff does not depend on dealing damage. Also you can easily link it with inc duration and arcane surge. Not sure if I can use artic breath with new support for additional debuff, will the chill effect work if my character does 0 damage due to totem keystone!? Not sure what to do if single target turns out to be crap. I was thinking of going for new Carcass Jack so I can get that sweet 50% inc AoE, maybe the projectiles from Winter Orb overlap in that case. according to someone's dmg analysis here based off purely base dmg you only need 5-6 overlapping WO projectiles to reach the power of 10 stack BV. of course BV is still superior due to better scaling from statstick but no doubt WO is no slouch either in both clear and single target, especially if you go totem where you can go gmp+rain of splinter by default | ||

Small chance you can get all of those to overlap. I was hoping to get 3 to overlap. Also we don't know what is the base number of projectiles WO releases. I hope it is not one :D For totems, WO is much better than BV. For selfcast, BV should be a lot superior. Except for self cast you can just use WO for clear and Ice Spear for bosses. | ||
