If you were into playing HC then THIS build would be a great choice, and similar so if you aim to not die in SC. Alkaizerx played something like that and it's insanely tanky. Afaik Blade Blast doesn't require much gear to get great damage. For Alkaizer's video see:



Obviously, Alk has insane gear in that video but it shouldn't be necessary.

Help me out guys.

I am usually a HC player but there are some issues I personally have currently.

a) Hardcore trade often times is DEAD - its really frustrating
b) Softcore doesn't feel like being alive
c) I am getting old , I guess the whole grind and lose a character stings but its really the only way to feel good when doing something

I have thought about playing SC to have better options in terms of character progression and more item availability and simply delete the character on death. This way I would benefit from the trade but also HC feeling. Probably wouldn't be as respected if you manage to do endgame but I don't really care about that opinion then.

d) I didn't really play harvest as there is little new to enjoy in terms of skills (for me). I have thousands of hours in PoE through different leagues. I do like crafting but we are 1.5 month in. Getting wealthy now is probably hard :C any suggestions of fun builds to grind a bit but doesn't make it feel like work?

Would love to hear your opinions on those matters.

SSFHC just revitalised the game for me. Playing some tec slam variation this league has been quite fun.

I am happy that worked for you, (also NarutO typing on this account) . Unfortunately I really dislike SSF

I have been thinking about trying a poison bv assassin. But i am a bit unsure about some of the mechanism of damage over time. Some of these question are properly stupid but could not find the answer when i tried looking.

1) You deal damage per sec with dot's, so what happens when you increase the duration of the alignment. To an odd number. My example would be you do 100 poison damage per sec, your duration is 3,5 sec. What happens with the last 0,5 sec does it give 50 damage or 0 because it needs full sec to give damage.

2) Stats that make alignments deal damage faster. Like Swift Venoms. The wording makes me unsure if you deal the same amount of damage just over a shorter period of time or if your frequency faster
Example 1. You do 100 damage per 1 for a periode 5 sec and get 10% faster. So now you do 100 damage every 0,9 sec over 4,5 sec
Example 2 You do 100 damage every 0,9 over 5 Sec.

3) This is related to my second question how does thing like Swift Venoms stack additive or diminishing returns?

for the #1, you will deal 50dmg in 0.5 sec., the dot always do it's dmg. for exemple, I "over dot" with my dps mobs so they all die instantly, not in 1 sec.

i can't really tell for the rest

disclaimer: im rusty and havent played in years before harvest so maybe all of this has changed.

Path of Exile runs on a 30 tickrate. This means that if you have a DoT that deals 30 DPS (after calculating reductions for the sake of the example) what is really happening is that you are dealing 1 damage every 33.3 milliseconds.

"Ailments deal damage faster" - You deal the same amount of total damage but the duration it takes to deal it is reduced.
Ex: a 2 second DoT that does 100 damage with "Ailments deal damage 100% faster" would become a 1 second DoT that does 100 damage. The total damage applied has not changed, but the DPS has increased from 50 to 100.

Not that familiar with Swift Venoms specifically, but my guess based on the language is that it is additive with other "Ailments deal damage faster" effects.

Question for crafters - if you were crafting an alternative to Hand of Wisdom and Action using the Shaper/Hunter lightning damage per 10 Int mod, what else should be aiming for? Pen, AS, maybe crit or lightning as chaos over phys or lightning damage?

Oh, I'd forgotten about the Synthesis implicits - good call, there were more threads from that era.

New league reveal tomorrow; been mucking around with a Vortex/Cold Snap Raider (one of those Cluster Jewel boosted things I'd meant to do, like a Fire Trap Chieftain); been impressed by the tankiness of dodge/eva w Kintsugi & Wind Dancer.

Race was fun to watch - liked ZiggyD/BrittleKnee's recaps, shame Waggle didn't find his last Uber Elder fragment.

Yeah, the race was pretty fun to follow, I cheered for RaizQT, too bad he ripped once and never got a 6L. It'll be fun to see what the new league is about, I'd be surprised if the cat that Bex always likes to mention has anything to to with the league - same with the boats & water stuff. But we'll see.

Lots of people have gone full investigation regarding the league theme/name, and some of them tried really hard. If people haven't seen it through reddit, the following vid is pretty fun.

I enjoyed playing the gauntlet race myself, allthough i dont see myself playing that much in a race soon again. (got to lvl 97 with 3 boss kills) I tilted myself quiet hard with making so many mistakes with harvest crafting :D It would have helped if i played some ssf harvest before...

Also the last day was frustrating for me since even if i tried more bosses my internet connection was too bad to upload my boss kills. (i didnt manage to upload my Oshabi kill since i kinda was ZPDS and the fight took long)

The video from Badger was fun :-)

Huh, interesting - I liked Betrayal, though I find the Research lab meets old-school Vorici mission vibe a little stressful; slow and steady/laggy type who's not too fond of timed content.

Very interesting concept. I bet the stealth concepts will be pretty loose but I really enjoy that they are branching out what they are trying out. And having your own "crew" seems pretty fun. I like the feeling of NPCs that are helping you out and what not, kind of like the old masters.

Alt quality gems don't excite me that much tbh. Another min max lever I suppose.

Punishment - enemies explode when overkilled? ...more explosions, really?

The steel stuff looks really cool.

Unfortunately I don't think I can play league for a few weeks. IRL been pretty busy for me, both a good and bad thing I suppose? Wish I would have played Harvest a lot more than I did, had to bail out pretty early before things got really nuts with crafting.

It seems that unlike betrayal you don't have to complete a league event each area or map. They give you tokens that you can use when you want, so in that sense it is a bit like collect sulphite in delve.

Well you can't really add jetpacks to PoE, so you are limited to more explosions to make it cooler.

League mechanics seem more fun than Harvest league although I am going to be missing ability to craft all my yellow gear easily. I was able to play Harvest league SSF and get to max level maps and fight Guardians and high level Bosses.
I didn't miss trading at all. I didn't have near best possible items by the time I got bored but it was enough.

I hope these "awesome" yellows that will be dropping will be good enough replacement.

Firewall + Fireball seems fun, now I just need to figure out how to make a very tanky character like my Chieftain warcry dude was in Harvest.
