People still play d3?

And d3 thread started a year earlier than this, though I see activity on this thread winding down heavily too..lost interest a month or so ago after ripping yet again on bloodlines (retarded desync zombies from the blood elemental shit). They should step up on act4 soon and really hope its interesting

Managed to 6L my staff yesterday... problem is it's not even a great item, it's just that actually good items for this build don't even exist (or aren't being sold). And because my build is so super secret on the down-low, I can't even sell this thing because it looks like a piece of garbage. Oh well it gave me like a 40% DPS increase so I'm still happy :D

Who should I whisper in game for an invite to the TL guild? I'm on Torment and just looking for some people to map with.

Does anyone understand how the Academy map boss works? His Book Storm does nothing; I bathe in it and it barely tickles. His Book Throw, however, seems extremely powerful. My zombies get 2 shot, so if I don't kill him within 7 or so seconds my minions get wiped out. Adding in mods like Chain makes him undoable. The PoE Wiki says that skill has Far Shot, which means the damage he deals to my zombies is minimal. Any ranged character getting hit by that attack should die in one hit 100% of the time. Is it all physical? Or is there another mechanic I'm not aware of?

It's not exactly that his book tornado does nothing, it's just that its graphical display is much smaller than the actual aoe, so often the tornadoes seem to do nothing. Both the tornado & the book throw actually hurt alot, and all his dmg are physical spells, so your best bet is to use the white offering for spell block (damn I forgot the name and is currently on phone urg), pop vaal haste and burst him down.

Afaik the Academy boss has CWDT, so if you deal a lot of dmg quickly and often, he'll do a lot of damage as well.

you mean the other way round lol.

academy boss to me doesnt seem like a dangerous one. kole and cintiq are still the worst physical hitters in this game so far.
(uber trio too if you count those)

Oh god. On my Arc char on Torment I was wondering what to use my 5L CoD for, since I'm using Geofri with Empower (which soon is lvl 3). So I thought my single target dmg vs bosses or occasional curse immune high resistance monsters (especially Necromancers) is lacking.

Then I realized I was leveling Vaal Spark all the time without using it properly. Googled a bit for what to link it with and saw how broken it is with Vaal Glacial Hammer, which I then of course wanted to test myself.

Result: Shipyard double boss with enfeeble both dead in 2-3 seconds, can't tell exactly because my screen froze LOL. GMP + Spell Echo + Fork makes some serious amount of projectiles.

150*5*2*2 = 3000 sparks

Vaal storm call is also pretty good with spell echo + increased duration

It's so sick lol, I just was in a room with a strongbox and tons of monsters. Opened strongbox (crazy i know), activated Vaal Spark and everything died, even a unique beyonder spawned and almost died from it alone (almost only because it spawned at the end of its time, if it was there earlier it would've been dead like all else).

That also was my hugest screenfreeze in PoE. I didn't see anything until the spark was over.

I use vaal molten shell against academy boss, he hits you, you hit him, he hits you etc. and he just melts. Also works well against crematorium boss.

That's pretty clever, though against Crematorium boss you gotta live long enough for that to work. But that works just fine if you have high lvl AA, else it's rough.
