So I just did monster level 83 mastermind and unveiled +2 socketed support on one of the rares she dropped. But on my bench I only have "unlocked" socketed support +1 and am about "40% experience" into unlocking +2 down in the grey unlocked area. A multimod bow is the one thing I've been chasing to upgrade this character lol, this was my first mastermind.
So if that isn't a sign to fuck off with ED and reroll something more fun idk what is. Didn't know that's how it worked as far as veiled mod progress.. Isnt that how it works with literally every multi ranked veiled mod? Unveiling a higher rank gives progress for unlocking, but it doesnt automatically unlock the high rank.?
Yeah I'm sure it is, but I had no idea because most of the other mods come in bulk from just doing Jun stuff while this was the only one I was looking for that only came from a specific source (Catarina) lol. So I was just paying closer attention. My own fault.
A5 in 2hrs is fun tho

Are there cyclone builds that don't cost an arm and leg this league? The prices of high pdps weapons are pretty insane.
That Ngahamu axe is still cheap and that build was always good.

I have hit low maps with my SST cold Zerker. I find it kind of irritating how long it takes to collect 50 rage with this skill. SST one shots packs and I only get 1 rage from that... so I have been experimenting with Bladestorm (sand version because of larger AoE and because it moves) as a way to help generate Rage faster. Jury is still out on that.
Gathering Rage might be the biggest issue about playing SST Zerker. At this point I am thinking I should have gone Slayer or Champion instead.

I may just kill two birds with one stone and level berserker cyclone to ~90 just to try it out and then switch to BF or something else single target for bossing.

Dumb question but is there a good reason to go 2H other than a) your 6L for Kaom's chest option, or b) there's a particular 2H like Disfavour or Starforge that you're building around?
If you're not going for Kaom's or any of the big 2H uniques, dual 1H seems way better still.
The 2H weapon's primary goal is to wear Kaom's. Since this build doesn't suffer from lack of dps or resists, stacking pure HP on the chest is just way better. I don't think you will need to find a ST skill for bosses once you are fully geared. Dual 1H is in theory more DPS, but based on how quickly the bosses melt with a disfavor, it's just not necessary. I don't think end game 1H are that cheap anyway.
If you are looking for end game grind, I think 2H elder vaal axe craft is better than disfavor if you can roll level 20 fortify with T1 %phys dmg hybrid and then multimod, this gives you a 7L on top of a very high pdps base.
One thing I'm struggling with are the porcupine mobs. I have to skirt them or I die from the instant phys dmg explosions...

I need to find an upgrade for my doomsower but it gets so pricey so quick =\

Cwdt + molten shell? Or ironskin or immortal call?

Even with those I'm not sure I can safely leap into a pack of them, will have to do some testing.

If you have the sockets, CWDT + Flesh Offering is another common way of mitigating porcupines, because the projectiles despawn when the corpse is destroyed. May not work well with cyclone tho, if you kill the pack over time (because you are cycloning thru it) flesh offering may trigger before there are many corpses to destroy.

Interesting! Will test that as well. With Kaom's the gem slots are lacking. I can swap on a belly for those maps I guess.

I dropped a Tidebreaker, are there any fun builds one can do with this weapon? Hopefully some that wouldn't cost 30ex to make 
|
double post sorry 
|
Tidebreaker is pretty good for stun & Jugg with lots of endurance charges. Together with Ryslatha's Coil it should be easy to get decent damage output and stun with it with say sweep which is extremely good for stun.
|
I'd play jugg with a tidebreaker. Probably heavy strike or EQ or something for the big oomphy hits.

Does Hall of Grandmasters spawn a different set of players every time? I did it easily one time but got owned the second time...

really enjoying the league and the changes (Cyclone feels sooooo nice, should definitely try it while it's meta and strong), but I'm getting too much lag spikes / server issues / crashes lately =/ Kind of puts a damper on the whole thing.
regarding cheapish cyclone items, voidforge only cost me ~75c through div cards, and it definitely hits like a truck. Probably much cheaper than equivalent phys weapons.

4 shapers, 4 gloves
Edit: is there a solid reason to go for Disfavour over Starforge for 2H phys? I guess Starforge is a bit more costly at the moment but even with the +2 gems and such I can't put together a tree in PoB that gives me better damage with Disfavour + axe nodes than Starforge + sword nodes. I guess the +2 range gives you a bit more aoe but that doesn't seem like it would outweigh 20-25% more dmg.
Also in theory crafting a weapon is probably better but idk if I have all the good mods yet.
|
I'm pretty sure Starforge is better overall, hence why it costs more. There are more starforges listed so it's not a supply issue.
something you can't do with starforge, is some sort of mixed phys/ele setup with disfavour, but it seems like more work than it'd be worth

No boots, pretty good!
No flask, sword or amu in 10 runs so far
Also only garbs and masks from Atziri

Question about interactions for 5 scenarios
1 flesh and stone, cyclone with maim support in a 6L
2 flesh and stone linked to maim support, cyclone with maim support in a 6L
3 flesh and stone linked to maim support, cyclone without maim support in a 6L
4 flesh and stone, cyclone with pseudo 7L with maim level 1 in chest
5 flesh and stone linked to maim support, cyclone with a pseudo 7L with maim level 1 in chest
Are any of these scenarios redundant? Mainly looking at 2 and 3. I’m assuming because I can use something else as the last link # 5 is the optimal way, but want to make sure #5 is still more damage than #4, and whether #2 is the best way to go until I get the chest I need
