Well 40 skill gem changes turned out to be an over-hyped disappointment to say the least.

Is it ever not?

Remember when they recently did a pass of ALL gems and 95% of them were changing the base damage by 5 or something else utterly inconsequential?

Could someone recommend a good starter build (once the patchnotes are out)? I'm out of touch with the meta and changes and whatnot.

Patches notes came out a few hours ago. Expect start build video's to come out in the next 48 hours.

Cremation (Archmage necro or Chieftain), DD necro, TR/CA trickster, Ignite fireball trickster/elementalist, ignite archmage hextouch trickster/elementalist. Trap sabo (lighting trap?) shoule be decent again too.

You know, it's hard for me to be disappointed about the lack of meaningful gem changes when there have been a lot of leagues where they said to do these and didn't deliver one bit (5% Heavy Strike and 6% Glacial Hammer damage increases anyone?).

DD necro is what I'm going with I think. Lots of bossing and should be able to stand in the fire with all the defense. Level with fire brand? Maybe try firestorm, but fireball > firestorm still from what I can math out.

I stopped playing this game for a long time and I'm starting to remember why. Only problem is there doesn't seem to be a better aRPG out there.

Does the Cobra Lash buff -- "Projectiles now deal 5% more damage for each remaining Chain." -- affect poison damage?

Also does Pathfinder's node -- "15% more Chaos Damage with Attack Skills" affect poison damage?

after all these years I still get confused with ailment and base damage ><

--

another thing - does anyone have knowledge of Bladestorm builds? How do Bladestorm and Cyclone compare to each other? I was thinking that Bladestorm would be pretty good for Maven bossing since you can leave up the storms while you have to dodge, but it seems Cyclone is vastly more popular? It is the mechanics behind cyclone, or is Cyclone also straight up more damage for bossing?

I think after Legion, Cyclone takes more gear to get working well, but just ez 1 button playstyle. But Bladestorm is really solid right now I think? Both for leveling and long term. But I'm not sure honestly, I just feel like hear a lot of people discussing it as a good melee go-to recently.

Think the cobra lash works as you give more base damage.
Regarding pathfinder if you poison source is chaos damage it would do 15% more poison damage if it is physical 0%.

They learned from their mistakes and buffed the basedmg of Glacial Hammer by 7,5% and Heavy Strike by 11% this time

I think this might be the most boring poe patch to date.

I'd take a boring patch and a clean, well-balanced league launch over an exciting patch and a shitshow launch / 2 weeks of betatesting at any time.

...I don't have too much faith there but hey, maybe the boring patch meant a lot of work went into the league content this time around. \o/

If it ends up as a two week beta test after they had an extra month to develop and test then I can safety say that GGG never had and never will have a QA process.

the new endgame stuff with the atlas passive tree are pretty neat, but that's for later on in progression. still I wouldn't call it a boring patch

here's tytykiller's tier list for starters. I dunno how good he is for non-racing, but I thought it was a good list

I am considering doing a cast on crit battlemage, and reading through unique weapons that could be fun. How would Voidforge extra damage work on the spells.

I'll league start with a Trickster Chaos Sligner. it got a hit but should still work great until high red map, then probably swapping to ED/Bane or ED/Contagion.

Later on, I wanna retry Crakling Lance. It was fun last league but lack a bit of dps. IT was buff now so worth a second try... but not as starter !
