Think i will just start chaos stuff on occultist, maybe more on the evasion side with ghost shrouds... i kinda miss ed/contagion, maybe time to test out bane again also... although the last time i did that, i just went back to ed/cont after a while.
Chaos gear is also really nice to just craft yourself.
Any thoughts on the new trickster node? My first impression was "well, that kinda sucks i guess", but now i wonder if it works with RF and arakali pantheon. Would be kinda neat if you just didnt take RF damage half of the time (or is it 1/3? Does "for 5 seconds every 10 seconds" mean its 50% of the time or do the 10s start after the 5s ended again? Should be the first, right? Its like that on Chieftain i think.
Theres no way i league start RF though to test it out.

I'm also wondering about one thing: Reflect. It'd be great to run reflect maps. If I take 60% reduced reflect from Elemental Mastery and 50% from Yugul that should make me completely immune, right? Pretty nice.... Will probably have to do that, less rerolling of maps is a huge plus.
RF league start with Scorching Ray will be great, many streamers will do that apparently. Should be so much easier than ever.
|
I'm probably going LL-Bane-Occultist again for a starter, really liked it despite not playing much last league.
What makes this league particulary good for RF? Did I miss something? Oh, just found it... A straight 60% Buff O_o?

Also Inquisitor got 50% inc effect for their Consecrated Ground, +3% Fire res on the tree (might be overkill though). Aside from that Scorching Ray, which actually deals the damage against tough mobs, got buffed. +2% Life regen while moving from mastery helps too. I'd guess those are the main things

well, EE got gutted, didn't it? so that's a huge loss to RF / SR. not sure how much the damage numbers balance out
I'm thinking of trying this Berserker Spectral Helix + Oni Garoshi build.. might be hard to build but looks fun

Increased damage taken modifiers stack additively against that so you'll end up killing yourself.

Hmmm.... Tornado looks cool but the clear might be highly questionable, I guess it's gonna be more used vs bosses?
Concoction skills also look really cool but those might struggle on bosses? :o

It's reduced not less though, so it shouldn't even make you immune without any increased damage taken modifiers?

Concoction skills can shotgun which should be an upside vs bosses. For poisonous concoction you have plague bearer as well.

Reduced and increased modifiers stack additively. If I have 50% reduced + 60% reduced from the above and 20% increased damage taken I end up taking 10% of the damage.
50+60 = 110% damage reduction so you're effectively immune.
50+60-20 = 90% damage reduction

Ohhhh.... I didn't know they can shotgun, now I'm definitely interested. Any guide recommendations, poisonous especially? Plaguebearer builds also tend to be super awesome for early map clears.
Do we know if the blood crucible thingy is character based or account wide?
e: I just got through the endgame changes, I'm actually hyped. Just need something that can clear all the good stuff now. :>

Not sure, but from a concept standpoint it would be strange if you put a item and one characters chest crucible only to pop in an other characters.

Exactly, and what even has 20% increased damage taken for ele dmg? Should even work for Berserker.
r.Evo look at the build Mathil will start with, it's in his build guide vid, about 6 minutes in: + Show Spoiler +
edit: I just read he'll start with Spectral Helix, but still it's there.  Otherwise, check out Nugi's recent stream, he'll play it too. Would most definitely be a more solid build if you wanna do hard content.

Oh ok. Forget it then. Where does the 20% increased damage taken in your calculation come from though?

You allocated CI and PA.  Depending on whether you want make use of the "1% dot muli per 4% chaos res" mastery you took, CI is not a good choice because it just makes you immune and doesn't set your chaos res to 100 anymore. Melding is also better without CI now.
I would probably go for Low Life with that build, stack some more defensive auras and either get the +1 curse wheel (could go enfeeble on cwdt) or the ES/Mana wheel, which would make it a lvl 94/95 tree if that's feasible for you? If you are only able to start on 1st of Dec then low life should be easier to achieve on a first char than on actual league start as well.
Take all of this with a grain of salt, I have never played an ES build before. :D Also, you played something similar last league, didn't you?

Shocked ground is the easiest example. It's also 50% increased in red maps so the math becomes a lot worse.

Actually true, forgot that one. So either get shock immune or survive 10% reflect, the later might be doable for my ignite char tbh.
edit: Right shit gotta be shock immune in red maps then. Or simply don't play maps with shocked ground + reflect, but mistakes would happen. =)

Dam, if CI doesn't put you at 90 res like before, then ill just go low life!
Ill redo my tree for that thx
edit: new PoB as low life: https://pastebin.com/HrSxSEka
just not sure if should anoit Corruption or Foresight (or maybe something else) but I think Corruption is really needed.

That actually looks neat. Not sure if that build can do endgame endgame, but getting there should be smooth at least.
e: HOLD UP
Penance brand is back on the menu without the Cluster Jewel?! That looks completely unchanged!

I like that guy. His brain comes up with really interesting und funny concepts. But be warned that he is generally okay with being a sc warrior and dying a bunch if it doesnt lose him a bossfight or so.

Could also get reduced reflect damage taken mod on a ring also (hunter or shaper for spells, even ilvl 68+ can get you up to 45% reduced). Sybils is even 80%, but only has a few mediocre attack mods and nothing else.
But there are options at least
