>Nerf AoE so skills can stop effortlessly clearing entire screens with minor investment >Skills that clear screens with minor investment still clear screens with minor investment with the only exception being Cyclone >Skills that before struggled to clear screens, requiring much more investment than skills like EQ and Flameblast got hit the hardest, effectively nerfing skills that were effectively already
how does GGG manage to fuck it up every time

EK Nova can step aside, I've discovered the next meme builds
ready?
lightning strike
sire of shards
Ryder Johnson
>come on me exile
what does she mean by this!?
Nicholas Rogers
>get practically perma-stunned by Izaro and dunked on at the final battle against him on Normal difficulty Think it's time I scrapped this build and went something ranged. Melee is ded.
I'm probably doing something similar for the next league, vault is super comfy
Hunter Rodriguez
shitbirds fuck *ff
Chase Perry
Why are uber trials so hard?
Hudson Evans
No doubt. And Frost Blades homes in anyways, so who knows if it's even worth it. You can find some videos of it.
Still, once DD is removed you'll be able to buzzsaw basically any build you want and do more or less competitive damage. You won't be AW facebreakers but you'll still be able to do basically all content. Probably all content with enough investment.
Isaiah Ward
leaguestones arent fun anymore
Bentley Wilson
what the fuck is AW facebreaker
animate weapon facebreaker?
why does that sound stupid as all fuck
Isaiah Thompson
I KEKED HARD
Evan Moore
While I do love the thought of equipping Facebreaker on an Anime Weapons build, it's obviously Ancestral Warchief. Warchief has been extremely powerful ever since it was added to the game, so your mind should really go to it before your meme weapons.
Cooper Lee
warchief is = wc
animate weapon has always been = aw animate weapon came before warchief so therefore animate weapon = aw
Andrew Clark
THIS IS A >>> BULLY FREE ZONE
Julian Moore
>warchief is = wc Ancestral Warchief is abbreviated as WC? You should let PoE's forums know that, because literally no one uses that abbreviation.

"hey guys, look up at my FB build?"
Flameblast? Frostbolt? Frost blades? Facebreaker?
Blake Fisher
DP = Double Penetration
Logan Taylor
just goes to show that GGG doesn't play their own game
Eli Myers
For some reason my mind refuses to acknowledge anything but Flameblast as the meaning of FB. Even while I'm reading through a Frost Blades guide, it takes me a second to realize they're not talking about Flameblast when I see FB.
David Flores
How can melee even compete?
Brody Butler
That Invalesco's Guide is the shit, best build i played so far if you got currency. Clear speed is great and single target can be great fi PF + really high dps claw + gear

Phase Run. 40% more melee physical damage and a shitload of dodge and ms
Jackson Kelly
No, phase run is on your A
Asher Anderson
Invalesco is one of a literal handful of people whose guides you can generally trust
his OG beta flicker shadow is still the archetypical image I have of the shadow in PoE
Lucas Morris
I guess you're right. I'm not him, I just looked at the second skill slot because that's where most people's W is.

Its a shitty feeling when you know life based builds will still be worthless next patch
Bentley Morgan
but chris said they're tripling all life nodes.
Nolan Mitchell
okay i've got it
incinerate sire of shards scold's bridle vms berserker
watch this
you use incinerate ~5 times per second and use scold's bridle to trigger VMS. even without VMS, in a cwc with fireball, you deal upwards of 200k DPS that his the entire screen. With VMS, it's more like 500k.
now here's where it gets interesting
you use a FUCKTON of fevered mind jewels so that the mana cost of incinerate exceeds 15% of your max. hp (this is pretty doable with ~6k hp). therefore, you trigger Berserker's 100% life leech 100% of the time. this is completely pointless since VP alone is enough to sustain your HP, but fuck it, you have 100% life leech
BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE
you need a shitton of mana to sustain this so you grab two Spirited Response gems and a Praxis. That means that every time you get hit, you regain 1/4 of it as mana, and your skills deal you 4x their mana cost in damage. So you can use this infinitely, since when the skill hits you it heals you for its mana cost
the result: you are constantly leeching over 100% of 500k damage per second to the entire screen as instant health while smacking yourself in the face to trigger VMS 5 times per second while also regaining the mana from smacking yourself in the face and you have over 6k HP
this is the ultimate build
Blake Cook
>Poison is dead in 3.0 wtf how do I even reach 300.000.000 dps now. Seriously though, what's worth rolling on Legacy that's not somehow poison-based?
Levi Martin
its a shitty feeling when you know
Shock Nova Ground Slam Dual Strike Double Strike Heavy strike Lightning Warp Flamedash
will still be worthles next patch

flawless now post your path of building export
Owen Powell
im not really understanding how cast on melee kill works
can i just have it linked with vengeance? so if vengeance kills someone it casts vengeance?
am i retarded?
Alexander Richardson
shock nova is unironically fine
Joshua Howard
I'm poor and I keep running out of high tier maps at 80%. What am I supposed to do now? I feel like quitting the game right now.
Isaac Hernandez
stop justifying your 9$ shock nova mtx you fucking retard
Owen Peterson
have you even played it? it was my league starter and i think the mtx is pretty tacky
Charles Adams
Spend 20 chisels on higher tier maps then run those for a while. You should easily get the currency you're investing from them.
Angel Baker
Imagine a witch but she's mature and thicc
Aiden Flores
Nigger it's like 3 am in the US, get the fuck to sleep
Jacob Morris
It's actually 4:37 where I live This isn't hurting your point, though.
Jonathan Baker
This is the most roundabout way I've ever seen to get spell leech.
Cooper Sullivan
i sincerely do not understand how this is possible in current patch
i alch and go, don't even chisel nor roll for packsize and i can start with 5 maps in my inventory and sustain purely off of them (105%ish atlas)
Oliver Bell
>shock nova is fine
Sebastian Jenkins
>it even costs less mana holy shit can they do anything right
Austin Carter
>REAL >HC >HOURS Or is that a /mu/ meme?
Michael Smith
Enemies will always be shocked when you're using Shock nova, though. That's a fuckload of dps.
Jonathan Murphy
>Vinktars EK can't shock enemies
digging your grave my dude
Nathaniel Morris
is it possible to use a cast on crit with cyclone so i cast molten strike when i crit
this is very confusing
Lucas Lee
how stupid are you that you think a nova can't be made to function with the level of power creep in this game. it's still t2 compared to the functionality of ek """nova""" but it clears screens in 1 cast fine if you don't aren't a retarded shitter that regurgitates reddit meta
Ryan Hernandez
>skill is only good when you spend 10ex on a meme flask wow you sure convinced me that your skill is better
Jason Watson
Shock nova is unironically the only skill in the game that gets worse with increased area of effect and you contrarian retards are saying its """""""fine""""" and think vinktars costs 10ex
Ayden Thompson
if you want to shock phys to lightning exists herald of thunder exists wrath exists added lightning exists
literally 0 reason to use shock nova
Ian Thomas
how can shock nova cucks ever recover
Dylan Clark
>innocuous statement that shock nova is fine >""the assertion of it as better than t1 skills MUST logically follow,"" crows the shitter toddler reading comprehension r*tards
Jackson Morris
Occultist probably knows all kinds of weird kamasutra techniques.
Nolan Flores
a skill is not "fine" if there is a skill that does the same thing better and can be scaled harder
In the sitation of nova ek vs shock nova
it has more base damage it benefits from taste of hate it benefits MORE from atziris promise it benefits from hatred it is unaffected by the pants on head retarded aoe nerfs it casts faster it costs less mana it goes farther, hits more mobs
John Morales
absolutely blown the fuck out
Camden Johnson
it clears screens in 1 cast, therefore it is fine
there is no semantics you can try to twist here, any skill that can hit the screen, supplemented by shield charge or whirling blades, can be made adequately >>fine
Samuel Roberts
>it clears screens in 1 cast, therefore it is fine No, it doesn't m8. I don't know who you're trying to fool here, but shock nova does not "clear a screen in one cast"
Kevin Reyes
Shock nova can clear all content in the game, what does it matter that it can't clear shaped t10-11 as fast as other skills? Not like someone who is using shock nova is going to compete for first 100 or whatever
Landon Ortiz
this is what people that have never made a build and use their league starter into ebin build they farmed up for actually believe
