Aren't the Increased Duration clusters fairly mandatory? It's based on Firestorm for which I thought pretty much every build gets both. If the AoE works the same, then I guess getting AoE nodes will be bad (which is why it's good that you haven't chosen any). Plus, I think if you want to survive Lightning Thorns or Reflect, especially with that much crit, you will need Vaal Pact, which is close to the Increased Duration nodes. So I guess Scion would be the right choice.

Getting Increased Duration would cost you a lot of Int Nodes. I didn't specced into Arcane Potency because you will most likly need the +30 dex +30 str nodes. Tho I forgot about those jucy Staff nodes. Path of the Savant, dang that I forgot that one ^^ Awesome for the new staff.
For Reflect, do we know anything about the scaling yet?

@Valle I like ur additions besides Arcane Potency

I'm quire sure increased duration is definitely worth getting even if it costs you some int, it's essentialy a "more" modifier for skills like firestorm/icestorm.

dont forget unlike firestorm, ice storm creates chilled ground at the site of cast, so it would slow down chasing enemies and make them bathe in the storm longer

Well yea if its mathematically a better dps output ofc you should go for it :D my aim was just to scrap as much int together to make it viable.
With Vaalpact + Inc Duration i'm not too sure about going CI because all those pathes kinda suck ^.^ but yea lots to think about... tho I'm still not a fan of the skill and the staff!

Well, given that a 6s unlinked is a 7L for that staff (confirmed by GGG), it's probably gonna be quite potent. Maybe not extremely strong, but I have few doubts that it will be viable.

and isn't it for like level 32 or something? (too lazy to dig up the announcment). So you could actually have 6link if it drops as ilv 35 with level 32...

370 int, I think a reasonable amount of ES and damage (spell, cold, ele, pen) as well. I chose Scion just cuz,but maybe other starts would be better. Templar would work as well. I think it'd be possible to convert to a EB build fairly easy as well.

My quick[mistakes* included] general outline for an Int build: https://poebuilder.com/character/AAAAAgMA37AsnND1QZYFQkyzrrMRD9teUDAigZ6hVkqOPBdUTC1VxjpYrJiD218qdFWPRpuh99cpT-QihX3sOMBmRUe1BGpDwFS86i0fCPRJUfDVlS4HHhGWf8Zknev1j_ryHbmTwwljQw5IXfJwUonTcNWMNlBCoi4mPBbzL50V5_Brc7OMdp48tzHAGkbXVylxhTCXsUI5isNtXGuESKcrNbkdTxFQbRksv8HFVmMV14auSbHXz_k374iTJxzcDXzqurQMgwlGcRpsna6nCNWmgpvfitlbGyVLrukCFLCCHohCES8rCrb3

(*)like the one takin those hp/es nodes at Doom Cast ^^''

The scary part is; 235 % increased maximum Energy Shield from tree +400 Int. That would mean pre equip you get 315% ES. So even while wearing a 2H you should still be able to get pretty high ES numbers.
The crit, spelldmg and castspd are enough to get decent damage output (for current standards). I'm just curious if skilltree changes could affect stat-distribution in general.

you can get 700+ int on the tree without outright wasting points if you go for it.

its about 95 points to get all ur int and ES nodes tho so... yeah.

On the other hand, with 100% int increase, and say 200 int from gear, thats a 180 spell dmg staff and i'd guess around a level 23-4 firestorm freely 7linked. Also gratuitous amounts of ES, seriously.

Coming from a Pillar-Fanatic: several Pillar builds had endgame strength of about 650-700 (with gear). It's pretty achievable for Int too. And yea going CI, Int does kinda the same for your ES pool as Str does for Pillar chars. (just that pillar doesn't seem as good in comparison to the new unique ^^ welp nothing new we 2H lovers get screwed [still prayin to Chris for major 2H overhaul!])


https://poebuilder.com/character/AAAAAgMA37AsnND1QZYFQkyzrrMRD9teUDAigZ6hVkqOPBdUTC2smF8qdFWPRpuh99cpT-QihX3sOMBmRUe1BElR8NWVLgceEZZ_xmSd6_WP-vIduZPDCWNDDkhd8nBSidNw1Yw2UEKiLiY8FvMvnRXn8Gtzs4x2njy3McAaRtdXKXGFMJexQjmKw21ca4RIpys1uR1PEVBtGSy_wcVWYxXXhq6TJxzcDXzqurQMgwlGcdWmgpvfitlbGyVLrukCFLCCHohCES8rCrb3kNYspjdmNAq2-vemjmQdFPrSZp4fxyt4LYsTcV6lWK4=

Updated your build with some different choices which are better in my opinion, got a lot of crit more (top left staff + spell nodes) and skipped the life/es nodes near shadow and invested those points for "Path of the Savant" above Scion. I also took the Chance to avoid interruption from stuns while spell casting at witch, because you are playing ES without unwavering, which means you will get stuned a lot!


I looked and was like "how'd they get more int than me, I must be bad." Then I realized you guys did lvl 100 trees. I decided not to take crit though.

Increased Duration is even more important now that they're removing EC/CWDT interaction, as having the nodes and the gem gives you absurd duration IC even with just a couple endurance charges.

On another note, accidental website spoiler leak hype!

Moral of the story is, did you split the earnings with your friend, or threw a few ex at his way, or decided to rub it in?

Nice pick up regardlessly.


Rub it in He stopped playing after getting 4/4 on both leagues anyway.
Nasty :D. It is a new version of Finders Keepers. Perhaps more karma based like, "He, who is greedy, shall miss out on the true valuables in life".

The katana thing looks neat, that seems pretty high crit multi as an implicit, makes melee sound more and more appealing to try out.

The best part about the new environments is that the seems to be no rain to be found (well, maybe in one zone from the looks of it). Yaaaaaaay.

Bring back 2-hand Spectral Throw? Maybe those wacky sword crit nodes by Ondar's Guile are getting a tweak.

well, spectral throw just has such strong innate mechanics that its always going to be either trash or overpowered...
