Praying MoM + a healthy life pool will be enough if I get hit by something big :/ | ||

Spell Echo can no longer support this skill. Didn't run any math yet but it's probably a nerf. Also net mana cost might go up making it harder to sustain? Re: Sweep. If I understand the changes correctly that monsters will just get knocked to max range and stay there on repeated knockbacks then that seems very strong defensively. Melee creeps should hardly be able to hit you. | ||

Also, since I'm a scrub at PoE and way out of the loop for the awakening, any list of awesome builds out there? Spectral throw is still dogshit, yes. It's actually worse now than ever because all the other attacks got escalating base damage that it has, but their values don't start at cripplingly low levels like its does. | ||

I've had a very very good 2h Mace in the beta and a 5L Sweep build (RT and BM for more Life). I used inc aoe from Templar and inc aoe gem and its AoE covered the whole Elreon circle while attacking extremely fast. That way I was able to one shot whole screens of white monsters in Dried Lake, insane clear speed. Though next time I'd probably play 2h crit Sword because I just adore Whirling Blades, it's a super awesome movement skill. | ||

i was kinda looking at this http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1130134/page/1 too a little too tired from work (that's my excuse >.>) to be trawling through many threads to find something fairly cheap/easy to build. | ||

Well, the buffs to lmp/gmp helps a bit. I don't know if it's dogshit, its mechanics are still really great. It's certainly not ice crash in terms of raw damage, but it still works.

Also I can only login after DL the new patch with the copying of beta content.ggpk so can only send out invite after release unfortunately. Damn 7 a.m for Chris is 3 a.m for me QQ | ||

I'm at work and can't take care of guild invites at the moment either. | ||

I thought it said "Swords" but it says One handed swords. Lame.  | ||

Also since the thread is moving quite quickly if someone wanna get in the guild just pm me your ingame name ( or near future one) instead of posting here so I won't miss anyone when logging in. IIRC the guild is 71/90 so we still have plenty of room. (Or I could be wrong and it's 71/80 or 79/90 idk ... ) | ||
