Anyone else else fooled around with Wildstrike? I really love that skill right now. Especially with fasterattacks, multistrike and dualwielding it is just insanely fun to play and watch... :D ...unless you hate explosions.
A friend of mine plays it and it looks super fun to me.

I don't think the frost wall interaction changes are bugs, but intentional. I fiddled around with frost wall and kinetic blast/lightning arrow - it seems like there's been an additional change beyond the power charge/cooldown to frost wall.
If you fire a kinetic blast at a frost wall, without it piercing, it produces the aoe bubbles act as usual - the same way it does when hitting an enemy or a true wall. But if you fire a piercing kinetic blast at a frost wall, it doesn't produce the normal bubble effect - at least this is what happened when I tested it extensively in my hideout. I guess it's to prevent the kinetic blast/coc/frost wall combination, which was precisely what I wanted to try making a build around, which is a disappointment.
Lightning arrow chain radius seems really small with frost walls too, but I didn't test it as extensively, it was harder to test comprehensively since you actually need to test it with enemies around.

When I opened POE I had to update today, so I checked out the patch notes and Chris said that Malachai killed OVER 3 million characters in a week. That's five RIPs every second for seven days straight. Wow...
|
I have a friend who's over 450 deaths on one character with at least 300 being to malachai so i'm not that shocked, but those are indeed huge numbers lol.
I'm assuming chris's numbers include warbands right?

WTF? I mean... Malachai is hard, but that's just excessive.
On another note, armor just feels so good (necessary?) this league. Armor + Flameblast was strong although low DPS. Now I'm playing DW Crit Cleave Marauder, hitting 30k DPS with Abyssus, and about to hit 20k armor. Hopefully that will be enough to mitigate the incoming phys

is TL poe playing maps in tempest? i need a map group to get some 74+ maps going but playing solo no matter what i do i cant maintain maps
|
I did cruel Malachai on my ice crasher with a public party of 4. I One guy died like every 20 seconds, and I'm pretty sure that the minimum deaths (except for me) was 3 or 4. I thought we were pretty bad, but maybe not.
On the other hand, 3M deaths means a lot of people are playing so that's good.

Has to include Warbands I'm sure. ... The two things that struck me most are: there are definitely a ton of people playing but, not everyone dies all that much. I would love to spend a day looking at POE statistics. In my head I imagine that Chris has this one laptop set up collecting all our data and he just sits there and giggles as the death counters go up.... Exalts dropped, best XP per hour, fastest from 45-60, drop rates omg...So much I want to know. TELL ME CHRIS TELL ME MORE

Not sure how I should go about improving my PA scion on tempest now. I'm torn between taste of hate and lightning coil and maybe decent amulet with +1 curse, but I can only afford one of those within the foreseeable future.

how much of that statistics was before the malachai nerf? i don't think the death toll is that high after the nerf.

Welp, that Warbands manifesto confirms that the optimal strategy is to leech off others and never share with anyone because they'll k.o. your four star warband maps if there are too many people in them. Great way to promote cooperation GGG.
(also, if anyone cares, the best way to encounter them will be spamming Eternal Lab instances once you get a four star warband)

pretty sure LC is like 2-3x the cost of the other 2, no?

Eh I eventually want a lightning coil as well (cyclone maruader) and when I checked last night they were minimum 15ex....
That said I think my gear is at a place now where I can just save up for GG pieces like that because I shouldn't need to upgrade anything for a bit. 5ex saved 10 to go~

LFM Tempest Mapping EU - PM

Ugh wow, now there are only 2 lightning coils on the market and they are 25 and 37 exalts.....
How's that for a price jump in under 24 hours. Meanwhile taste of hate only has 3 up, 2 with no prices and the 1 with a buyout is 9ex.
Guess I wasn't as close to one as I thought

Lol, managed to kill Malachai Merciless without TP and without dying on Warbands with my LL Flametotem Witch that has 6,2k ES. It was pretty tense also because my DPS isn't that good (rather safe spec) and the fight was soo long. I managed to not get hit from the smash in phase 1 and not to get hit from teleport-explosion in any phase. Probably also a bit lucky there.
Only did it for the achievement, the drop was about 15-20 rares with ~200 IIR.

I don't think there's any luck involved in not getting hit by malachi's slams they are heavily telegraphed. You just need the sustain and hp/mitigation to surivive the billions of aoe effects on the ground while also being able to put out DPS (ez as flame totem ofc).
Whats your flame totem DPS per totem?

7,4k (It's basically a 3L because I'm using IIR gem ^^). It's not really luck yeah. But there were times I just had to run for my life as my ES had to start regenerating again and I couldn't really pay attention to what Malachai was doing.
|
as long as ur running around malachai slams literally can't hit you tho
which is why flame totem and poison arrow are the builds to kill malachai with
I'm kinda tempted to try with my tempest flametotemer (similar hp, more dps) but i'm a coward.
|
Well at some point there were soo many AoE effects, the slam wasn't really my biggest worry during the fight. Those effects only did like 1-2k dmg but weren't really avoidable sometimes.
