ruby flask my man

its youre fault for not using ignite instead of 10 stacking an ele reflect rare like a retard

>literally 0 viable no-reserved-mana builds
explain poetards

This game is a MESS

>what is EA
>what is fb
>what is pure rf with essence worm

ok I switched out controlled destruction with elemental prolif so I should be ok now?

Why was the thread revived
Just let it die next time

prolif spreads ignite but if you dont have a high ignite chance or if you are scaling fb the wrong way, your build is fucked

I don't get paid $7/h to keep this viral marketing outlet unattended, thank you.

>thinks flameblast uses ignite
lmao fucking retard

>thinks the second-hardest hitting fire skill in the game isnt built to take advantage of double dipping dot based on initial hit

>thinks it actually needs to double dip
lmao
enjoy those nerfs maggot

>thinks there is a point in building for mechanics that dont exist yet and wont exist until 3.0

Anyone have a good newbie racing build? Haven't played in a long time... it used to be marauder flame totem but that seems to have been nerfed?

So... is the level 10 mystery box a ONE TIME thing over the entire weekend? or one possible box for every race?

my skill tree looks like this poeurl.com/2H2
it seemed ok I don't know what my crit chance is with 6 power charges but its got to be bretty good and Im looking to go Vaal Spark when I get CI gear

...

>only steam games ive ever played are PoE and grim downz
>the steam queue tries to recommend me a bunch of anime games and generic asian mmos

why

So I was originally going to build a generic boring Ranger Bow Build when I tested some frost blades and realized HOLY SHIT those things can be awesome.
Currently at lvl 20 and running around with 2 cheap daggers, Multiple Projectile frostblades, herald of ice, and arctic armour.
I want to build this as a critbuild to maximize the ammount of status ailment.
Also, currently I lack a gapcloser and a reliable single-target skill. Was thinking to also get riposte (maybe even just run shield+dagger. I would probably switch Herald of ice for Hatred later on, simply because the latter scales properly with my damage.
Does anyone want to give some insight into this?
The basic questions to answer:
1. what damage to stack? Dagger/Weapon, Physical, Elemental?
2. Block or not? Riposte or not?
3. dualwield or not?
4. do "extra physical damage with [Melee weapon] modifiers apply to Frost Blades projectiles? Can't deduce this from the wiki page. their keywords are Attack, projectile, cold
5. Pathfinder or Raider?
6. Single target skill?
7. Gapcloser? Was thinking about whirling blades or flicker strike.
8. Mana sustainability? Poacher's mark seems promising.

...

1. depends. but if you say you are gonna go crit, scale your damage via crit multi and ele damage
2. depends on how you build, if you are gonna get block or dodge. id suggest going block/shield for now but dont overfocus on it
3.see above
4. yes, the projectiles scale directly off your main hit
5. deadeye or raider
6. doesnt matter.
7. shield charge if using shield. whirling if not
8. nonissue

...

well, is it wrong?

You think srs or firestorm is better for witch racing. Not sure which to try

>By reaching level 10 in any race you will be awarded a Stormcaller Mystery Box. This applies only once per account. Multiple level 10 characters will not grant multiple mystery boxes. If you're participating in a race that starts at a higher level, you would need to get 10 levels above the starting level to be awarded a mystery box. For example, if the race starts at level 28, you'll need to get level 38.

To answer your question, one stormcaller box per account. Rewards for placing top50 you can get many times but it's random

So... just need to run one race and never touch the shit again for my free MTC?

That is correct

I never understood the reward factor to racing outside of MTC. Skin transfer specifically... isn't that shit only for Standard league that no one plays?

I'd have liked something that is actually good for temp league players, like a bit more free MTC or something but it seems like skin transfers and shitty legacy uniques no one gives a shit about outside of standard.

Races are still a lot of fun though. Even if I'm not top 50, or something. Maybe i can get top for my class and it's still fun

thanks for that so far.
Why deadeye? Isn't that super projectile focussed? I guess Raider has a lot of advantages with Phasing and Frenzy charge generation
Whirling turns out to be a crapheap, it immobilizes me for a while afterwards, way too long to be useful. actually thinking about flamedash or sticking with flicker.
For Singlöetarget I chose

Additional question: should I go for Strength for extra HP on the side?

deadeye has projectile shit that is good for frost blades including the "free" chain which is a huge damage boost vs groups

raider has immunities, good defensive shit and trivial frenzy generation

get str on gear for more hp, but dont waste your passive tree points on str nodes that dont also give you something else

>4. yes, the projectiles scale directly off your main hit

no they dont
from the wiki
>However the initial melee attack scales with melee damage modifiers (such as Melee Physical Damage), whereas the projectiles scale with projectile damage modifiers

How long does it take to get your race reward/points after race ends?

thats right. i had the impression the projectile was a % of the melee hit like molten strike but they arent

but molten strike works the same way

again from the wiki
>For example, supporting Molten Strike with Melee Physical Damage Support will increase the damage of the melee hit but not the projectiles

Still figuring out if taking Lighting strike would be a better idea.

don't know but if you are going frostblades i'd scale it through ele damage and crit multi like the other user said.
so you dont have to deal with the weirdness of melee and proj damage not scaling all your hits

if you go lightning strike you can scale through proj damage as you don't need to hit with your melee attack to get the projectiles

Currently refunding points, grabbing the physical attack nodes and Finesse close to the starting position together with Heart of oak. also saw the master of force node further up, plain physical damage as well. but I don't know if there are many of those in reach left and where all the crit multiplyer nodes are. Ele nodes are scarce in this part of the skill tree

hell yeah, sold my first found rare

Not bad. How much it go for?

>mana flask

if you are planning to use daggers you can grab the dagger nodes. they are just phys damage without specifying melee

oh and dont take master of force. it sucks compared to other damage clusters

>Not bad. How much it go for?
3c

i'm tri-curse flameblast and so i only have room for one elreon ring.

>3c
lol haha i thought it would go for more desu. Still not bad I guess

>not using a mana flask for no leech regen maps

you can use a scour on those tho

kinda don't give a shit about "free" mtx anymore now that SSF is king

it wasn't the 12% resist all kind (angelic) so i felt like even 3c was pushing it, but I know jack shit about pricing and it sold pretty fast so who knows

whatever you need to tell yourself to justify your failure in races bud

Why waste a good map if you can just bring a mana flask

When the fuck do we get our free MTX box? I got level 17 in the descent race and still nothing.

didn't ask for your opinion

Hey, frostblades guy here.
I switched my Frostblades for lighting strike, because it deals way more damage apparently, with the drawback of slower projectiles and normal instead of extended melee range.
BUT:
If I stick with hatred and shield charge, I have 3 different elemental spells that gain damage directly from attack damage rather than being a flat addition.
SO, I was wondering if it would be worth it to get Elemental Equilibrium?

Just realized shield charge doesn't deal Fire damage, my bad, sorry
Still, if I have an aura that turns 25% of physical damage into Cold and use a skill that deals 50% of physical damage in lighting, does that mean that the attack only does 25% physical damage? Or is it not additive?

I just got fire and brimstone. Can I just wear blackgleam in my secondary? Or do I actually have to get a bow or some shit

>tfw you just want to take a "quick nap" in between races and end up sleeping for 8 hours

Anyone? ;_;

items in off hand won't upgrade
just use a skill with culling strike and switch to your quiver fast

>nobody can move
welp

>tfw having good race

GGG in charge or releasing 3 races a year that aren't bugged

everyone, its my fault, I tried to race for the first time and fucked everything up, and broke the game for all
s-sorry

everyone was having fun until you showed up

^lol

When will /our guy/ come back to save PoE?

first of all project pt is our guy

rejectpt is playing wow now ROFL

I abandoned Lighting strike in favour of Viper and Reaver and then finally got my first blade flurry.
Since eveeryone and their dog seems to run a build for that, I thought it would be a supercool skill.
Nope, turns out it's ultraboring. Just stand there and keep the button pressen.
Then on the other hand, we have Cyclone and wild strike.
Now those are awesome skills fun to use AND powerful.
Or am I missing something?
Still running dagger+shield btw.

project pt is a better player than you

How do you generate power charges as vaal spark?

im so fucking bad at racing

Hes playing vanilla wow

Which is like 1.0 PoE compared to todays 2.5 PoE

is there a chocolate WoW or hazelnut WoW

yeah for homos like you

>my first self founded Esh map
>open breach
>massive lag
>i'm still alive let's just kill shit
>realize I got 5 seconds left
>breach closes, boss portal wont open

I deserve this shit

>massive lag for 25 seconds
>thing that happened

esh is the 2nd easiest breach

also I was not killing stuff with enough speed, I was using static strike on fucking electric city
what the fuck I was thinking
this happens for blindly following build guides

chocolate wow - TBC
cookies+cream wow - WotLK
coffee wow - Cataclysm
mint wow - MoP
poop wow - WoD
french vanilla - Legion

whats a flavor that fits WoD better

you sound completely retarded in every way. please stay on the official forums

@168010107
the fact you know so much about wow is all the confirmation of your virginity I need

@168010260

haha xd

>D3 is still shit

shocker

welp, racing made me realize I should stick to sucking filthy smegma-covered dicks as I barely make it half way through the act while turbo autists are in the next act already

assassin's mark, blue dream, or skyforths

why don't you try to get gud?
