EPTThe Saviour: Mirage Warriors have been renamed Mirage Saviours, to differentiate them from those created by General's Cry. Strike skills used by Mirage Saviours cannot hit additional targets.
So you need to use it with a slam skill for it to hit more targets. Pretty big nerf.Path of Exile - Page 1604

Ground Slam, Ice Crash and Earthshatter all seem better as main skills. Most warcry nodes seem pretty weak, so I'm not sure about Earthshatter since you need something to proc spikes. As for miners, Ball Lightning might simply be better now with higher base damage, and saboteurs can still reach the 13hit cap anyway. | ||

Ball Lightning miners tend to be far away from the reduced proj speed nodes, maybe you could annoint the big one. You lose a lot of crit multi from the updated tree too. I think BL miners will be slightly worse than before but still one of the strongest builds out there without requiring much gear investment. edit: I forgot AoE can help too, is the Saboteur AoE with the new slower projectiles gem really enough for 13 hits? But I guess even if it isn't - it doesn't matter, the build could have survived a 50% dps cut tbh. | ||

I personally hate Cries, too much clicking unless they're instant - flasks +2-3 skills is plenty. How do non-Tectonic Slam Chieftains reliably trigger "15% more damage if you've lost an Endurance Charge in the last 8 seconds" from the reworked Valako? There's manually using Immortal Call, there's the Eternal Apple (triggering Enduring Cry?), and, uh, letting them manually expire? Half-wondering if Arohongui with a spell totem (Wave of Conviction+Combustion) or decoy totem might be a better investment for uber lab. | ||

Could also cwdt immortal call on super low rank, but thats not going to fly vs endgame bosses and isnt really "on demand" in that case. Unless you somehow manage to damage yourself too. Also kinda kills all other warcries, so not really an option imho | ||

These changes seem so random | ||

I'm really tempted by max block gladiator but if the damage / clear is significantly worse than Bow then I dunno if I want to go too deep into it I did Bleed bow last league for a bit with not-so-great gear, and the damage really was kinda meh later. And especially with delirium the lack of leech AND sick regen was really noticeable. Really needs investment for high red maps / bosses for sure. I'd say endgame bleed bow really needs a decent elder bow with the bleed mod, and imho also a ryslathas. Sure, with the melee version you probably need the same on an axe, and you can always do enduring cry as bow for regen. But the difference between no leech/no block and ALL THE DEFENSIVE THINGS is pretty huge. I'd say bow is better/faster mapping, and maybe even better damage later on. But in hindsight i kinda regret i did bows instead of axes last league | ||

With 4 herald dudes + 1 golem up you'd get 25% more damage for your next 5 attacks, which should be strong as long as your attack speed is not very high. | ||

How's Flicker Strike these days? Anything fun you can do with it now that Slayer doesn't need to mitigate bleeding damage to run Red Trail + Golden Rule? | ||

I think I am going to try Tectonic Slam and hope it plays well enough. Worse case scenario we can always not use that ascendancy node :D | ||

As long as it isn't meta, you can search for corruption (socketed by fortify) which makes the dps respectable - either oro's or terminus est This. Its not meta because its not a great first character kind of build. hard to level without great equipment as your flicker doesn't keep running like it does after a while. | ||
