abyss has the potential to be a really popular league since those powercreep rares give players the incentive to actually explore and farm the atlas for once but they'll probably be warbands tier of rarity so we'll see

Is MoMmy actually a noob trap? >invest 12 passives in mana >get flat mana on rings and amulet >PoB only show 1.5k unreserved mana left after Clarity
Meanwhile, you could spend those 12 points on life, not need specific rings, and reserve mana for AA and a blasphemy curse.
Joseph Clark
as long as you don't need to unlock the maps to get access to the shaper/elder items then it's ok. not fucking up my atlas for poop items. I'll just buy them from others
Ian Bennett
how do you plan on getting 1.5k worth of defense with 12 passives otherwise
Cameron Ward
shitcrows out
David Bailey
I can get close to +1k life with those passives, have better mitigation with AA and have an actual defensive curse, MoM restrains me to using some shit CWDT curse, it doesn't look that good.
Can anyone show a working MoM caster tree? with 2k+ mana left at level 90
Sebastian Hernandez
My issue with MoM late game has been >running out of Mana with MoM >mana regen can NEVER keep up with life regen >life flask sips provide so much more EHP than hybrid (easier to scale life recovery) I wouldnt take it again unless I was gonna go Beserker and spam War Bringer, it synergizes so well with MoM as flat 25% mana recovery.
Thomas Thompson
>Balancing the whole game around streamers who get 100ex a day in donations
If you can get 1k life in 12 passives, you'd take those as well as MoM. These aren't mutually exclusive.

Liam Reed
freetard cant even do his own gimmick so he outsources to retards now
Lucas Ward
it depends on build/gear it worked insanely well with wicker+vanguard spectre necro since you didnt need any auras so you just had clarity and 2.6+k mana free (spamming ball lightning curse is miniscule cost)
Bentley Smith
MoM is just a bugdet ehp option with great downsides. Only if you do not have those downsides (and now everyone will have them, except very few select NON-CASTER builds) should you consider taking it up.
Kevin Hernandez
And then I'd be left with nothing for damage on a 115-point tree. Making builds is had.
Carson Jackson
what exactly are you trying to build
Brayden Nguyen
>only 1 day left
Hudson Roberts
it gives superior EHP per point, you just can't get that much out of life nodes after you have +180% already
Juan Baker
Do I start over? Am I too squishy?
Brayden Collins
never played ed before but friend has always played it since intro so wanna give it a whirl this league he keeps moaning about profane bloom fucking up his clear as occultist and that trickster has shit single target any ed pros that can give some advice? >hc btw
Eli Parker
New player starting with the new league. I like hitting stuff in RPGs.
Sunder Slayer or Cyclone Slayer look the most appealing to me. Are they both pretty safe to start with?
Jeremiah King
go trickster for mapping occultist for bossing your friend is a retard btw
Henry Morgan
6k life, no armour, barely any evasion, no relevant life regen, yeah you're squishy but it depends on what other layers of defenses you might have, like flasks and curses.
Easton Jenkins
10.3k ehp assuming vanilla mom that isnt too bad but what kind of dmg you gonna be doing? no point being fairly tanky if you hit like a wet noodle
Blake Cox
Yes. Cyclone is probably the safer of the two, you have stun immunity while you spin2win, and doing damage while moving is just a great innate mechanism even noobs can take advantage of. Just learn to do quick spins for bosses or your single target will be trash, it takes some practice because you don't get the same single target dps holding right click as with most other skills.
Colton King
200k dps or so with 34 radius coverage
Caleb Rogers
nah hes pretty good. constantly top 10 for his class on ladder pushing usually gets early shaper kills in new league behind turbo cunts like dan/gucci. hes just extremely irritable lol
Samuel Morris
*smooch*
Owen Rogers
flat ehp of one hit without counting is not a metric of surviveability of a char once you get in maps since you will never get to the point that your ehp is enough to tank any single hit and get back to full ehp instantly. MoM is valuable because: 1) Some builds do not need auras 2) Some builds do not have other defensive options Both of the points are much less so with 3.1.
Christopher Torres
Scion is best of both worlds (Occultist -chaos resistance, Trickster's mega regen on DoT kill) and scales harder in the late 90s
the more you know

What is a good PoB dps number to strive for with bow skills? I'm trying to path a LA but the numbers are underwhelming
Julian Johnson
Do you want to kill bosses? Do you want to utilize hearld of ice/lightning? Which ascendancy?
Michael Cox
Yes it is. Temp chains mostly solves clearing, regular mobs haven't been much of a threat since at least 2.2 and defenses are useless against bosses since it's all elemental damage, DoT, or should be manually avoided. Also doesn't help against stuff like DD.
MoM has amazing point value and there isn't any defensive option that comes anywhere near to competing on the top side of the tree. It also pairs extremely well with acro which is the other cheap defense available, and nearby too.
Grayson Sanchez
good waifufags are the worst and footfags even worserer some fucking how even worse than a nigger
Jason Torres
>selfcast bodyswap >30k dps on self explosion >7k dps on lvl 80 enemy explosion ffs
Hudson Scott
There's no hard numbers of end game, it's more about how reliably you can apply damage, but anything above 100k is comfortable enough for red maps, don't listen to the tooltip warriors.
100k consistent damage that is, no flask whoring, onslaught and frenzies can be consistent enough, especially if you're Raider as you should be.
Justin Fisher
>No Perandus Zana mod Shit league. That fat fuck always made me rich ;_;.
Jack Kelly
>tfw got a literal shitcrow for Turmoil
Grayson Reed
what about for shaper. I heard 200k consistent is what you want, with at least 6k hp in some form or another.
Blake Reyes
Redpill me on weapon swapping to brightbeak triple green prismatic edge whirling blades
Is it worth or too tedious
Nathaniel Murphy
Ah well, of course if you mention acro then yeah. Not a very optimal pathing though.

What build utilizes shrines best now in 3.1? still same old?

hey folks, new player here. what's a good starter build that can reliably kill shaper with minimal effort using a tabula on the 2nd day of the league?

Do any of you MoM niggers take it on melee builds that dont really need to run any auras? Turns out I do more dmg with Brutality than the usual Hatred, HoA shit. All thats left after that is Determination + AA.

something tells me this isnt a real build. i may be new but i wasnt born yesterday.
Joseph Stewart
Grace+IR can be pretty good, considering it's just right under the Duelist leech cluster. AA is just insanely good for melee, allows facetanking.
MoM is pretty questionable for a melee imo, you don't have any good mana scaling except Battle Rouse and Mana Flows and you're already making a long travel to MoM which is natural for top left classes but not so much for marauders and duelists.
But then again I don't have the numbers, play with PoB and decide for yourself

Fuck that, I'll do what I always do. Normal sleep and eating patterns for the day, then consume an abnormal quantity of coffee and energy drinks through the night after league start and crash like a freight train just as I enter maps.

Ryan Hernandez

Brayden Edwards
youll usually be going for discipline and training and the extra life node above it as marauder/duelist at which point mom is 5 nodes away. i think its a massive boost to ehp for 8 points assuming you dont need to reserve mana (or can use an essence worm for one, such as grace with iron reflexes maybe)
Nicholas Jones

Servers were flawless during 3.0 release, if I'm remembering right, and that was the biggest one yet.
Zachary Phillips
Rather comparing them. >armor No end charges, shitty nodes, shitty colors or item bases. Not viable. Does fuckall against elemental(even attacks) and oneshots(they're elemental). >eva Aurabot bullshit. Fantastic if someone's running grace and there's enfeeble but it's nothing worth investing in if you're up there and not a dedicated support. It's a nice boon on some gear but pretty weak. Does fuckall against spells(even phys) and oneshots. >CI/hybrid just more EHP >acro actually point-effective if you can supplement it with some gear, does fuckall against degen and oneshots >block Works well at cap but ridiculously point-intensive, restrictive of the tree(don't go up.) and again does fuckall against degen and oneshots. >MoM very point effective and works on everything >AA Fantastic. >temp chains Beautiful. >enfeeble For crit maps, and even better with some eva.
Overall the most cost-effective you can get(assuming no need for offensive auras/heralds) is to just go MoM and use temp chains or enfeeble for mapping, and AA or the relevant purity for bosses. That much is worth it even with MoM and even assuming you've perfectly balanced your mana and life for 0% reservation
Jacob White
Essence worm is not an obvious choice, a good ring can give you 80-100 flat life which becomes 200-300 total life after multipliers. Not to say anything about flat phys, resists and +attributes, all super important for melee. Just replace it with a generic steel ring in PoB and see how much dps you gain.
Bentley Watson
Wait you serious? What ascendancy? Are you scalling elemental damage? Spell damage is shit because it doesn't affect the explosion created by the enemy corpse.

>>MoM >very point effective and works on everything for the first few hits*
then you go OOM and unless you have a really cheesy way to recover your mana like a Zerker, you just lost a third of your ehp for the rest of the fight, congrats
Andrew Mitchell
What is it about AA you guys love so much? Its calculated right at the end of physical damage, so if you have a shitload of EC and armor, it ends up not being less effective.
Brody Lee
Chieftain 439% inc fire 81% more fire 50% fire pen my own life is about 7.4k

Joseph White
for the crit spellcaster build, and yes every fucking build looks the exact same nowadays, it's 5 travel points(subtracted one because HP cluster's value pp) and you're there that's nearby compared to every other option
13% less fire damage taken is equivalent to having +3 max fire resist with 75 baseline resist (100-25*0.87 = 78.25), it's physical mitigation and almost a Purity of Fire in the same package, kinda hard to beat for only 25% mana reservation. The guaranteed 0.5s chill is also underrated and got buffed to 30% in 3.1.
Jace Wood
it's not for armor characters, numbnuts
