I'll be playing in Beyond, seems super sick! Just wondering - could anyone point me in the direction of a good beginner arc build for hardcore? I'm fairly new to the game, yet I'd like to experience hardcore while jumping on the arc hypetrain. However, it seems like I could get punished fairly hard for making my own build, and I'd rather not go through the process of remaking characters too often :/

I'll probably hop on to grind Beyond if I didn't get kicked from the guild yet, hah. Not sure what to play yet, is summoning to farm items still relatively efficient?

From what I have looked at, it looks like summoners may be stronger than ever, particularly summon raging spirits.

I would expect SRS to be a top tier starter build. I'm waiting to see if flame totem got nerfed at all before I decide what to do, but the new tree looks pretty efficient for a dual curse flame totem culler

the dmg is nerfed for 1.2 and you require a high level empower for arc with/or RF to be actually strong since arc scaling is only great at >lvl 20

1) Blood Magic dual flame totem, with a bit of MF

3) CI cap crit Cold witch with Berek's Grip, main 5/6L is Ice spear with Ele proliferation. 4L with FP for close and personal boss.

The ice spear setup would preferably in a 6L Pledge of Hands setup for pcoc with a nice chest. If not then a good shield with 5L Voll is fine until then.
4) Low life summoner with Lorica, a good ES shield and Midnight Bargain

Hmm. Fair enough. Do you have any recommendations for a decently strong, cheap, newbie-friendly build thats updated for 1.2, then? I was hoping for a spellcaster, but it seems like most of the more fun builds are pretty expensive :/

So I want to play with the new leagues again (playing Rampage), I want to go life based or life/es hybrid phys wander (shadow or witch), but since I didn't play for so long I would need some help on the tree.

Can someone give me a quick overview of whats important to get and improve the build? (I think right now its way too much dmg and not enough life/defenses?)

just to let u know most of the guides are not fully updated for 1.2 (usually the tree) but the concepts are still valid.

detonate dead should still be powerful for hc in 1.2 http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/799504
use searing bond/flameblast on a +1 fire sceptre to level before transitioning to dd at around lvl50-60.

freezepulse and ice spear has been heavily buffed in 1.2, u can do either ci crit version (stronger but argh reflect) or a duo totem (weaker but no reflect to worry about) version
not much established guides for 1.2 on those yet maybe these help
http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/960124
http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/995262

the usual suspects like flameblast, firetrap and incinerate are still great spells for HC.

"Both physical and elemental damage reflection from monster auras have been reduced from 15% to 14% reflection."

dont think it applies to map mods

most likely freezepulse/ice spear considering their insane buffs. i tried it on taiwan 1.2 and they are really good even for levelling.

spark (yes lol) and lightning ball also has nice buffs

It's hard to say yet, lots of changes to spells' balance.

Arc was the go-to spell lately, now nerfed a bit.
Flame surge does very good damage afaik, the issue was the area of effect which was very small. It has been changed too.
Ball lightning worked, not the best clear speed but some very safe builds with knockback support for exemple. And now damage has been buffed.
Spell echo is now a must have for any spell user I believe...
Dunno about stormcall, haven't seen that used in a while.

Considering the huge buffs to cold spells and their CC mechanic, I can see them becoming the most played.

Well it's patiently waiting in my removed-only tab atm so no worry .
Also Patch Note HYPEEE !!!
That shockwave totem buff though. So far I haven't seen anything that is overly nerfed imo too. So gud.
