Is this what fun is lads? Is hc just a meme?

I want to make a Dark Pact build since it looks thematically cool as fuck but I aint got no idea where the fuck to start. Anyone seen any builds like that posted? I just don't know enough about the caster trees + chaos damage to come up with this shit on my own yet.

doing a super regen self-nuke DP right now. just got to A10 and it's fun. Could probably have more damage if I went blood magic instead of MoM, but then i couldn't use a free vitality aura.

see for defenses.

You and me both man. Just got to A10, so I have a little bit to go, but jesus I'm scared of Kitava. Heard about invisible attacks and shit. Probably won't do him until that's fixed at least

HC players are more vocal because SC players are busy actually playing the game

i finally made it to act 6 in hc after dying four times /poeg/

avarius was easy and kitava was mediocre. i cheesed both fights with decoy totem and it felt like cheating

>Kill cruel and merc izaro just fine
Do these new act bosses just have bullshit inflated HP pools?

Oh shit, neat. Do you reckon you could post your tree just so I have something to build off of?

based freeposter, you really had your work cut out for you this time

Wasn't there supposed to be a fight in act 7 that changes depending on which bandit you help?

Dumb catposter

what does a corrupted gem/skill mean?
no the shitty help icon doesn't say anything
also
>get to act2
>die , lose all will to play (was just hardcore warbringer)

>these new act bosses just have bullshit inflated HP pools
Yes, I os every single rare I came across but bosses took ages to go down.

...

>ever playing HC in a new big patch with new content

by doing this you are placing trust in GGG

never trust GGG

>he didn't build a summoner for summon harbinger
just you watch shitters

corrupt skill gems allow you to read the wiki instead of asking really basic questions

what's the chaos/exalt economy like later on?

should I sell the exalt I have now or wait a few weeks?

HC is a meme, meant to be played only by streamers and autists, or both.

>it's a newshitter asking easily googled questions and blogposting about their level 20 character dying episode

HC is a meme for people with too much time on their hands. What counts is run and clear speed. SUPER SANIC BUILDS!

>shitty game help thing doesn't say shit about corruption gems
fuck you faggot

Semi new to this game, keep having problem where once I get to part 2 I have to craft resistance gear, but then lose stat bonuses on previous gear, locking me out of other pieces/gems... how do I avoid this...

sc? exalts will skyrocket to 80 or 90 in a few weeks

Why is Pyre ring so bloody popular?

>it's a newshitter asking retarded questions and playing hc episode

If you're tired that means you've killed shaper deathless right.
Resist penetration and reduction is incredibly valuable now and crit inq just straight ignores resist as a mechanic.
It's incredibly efficient when normally single element nukes are investing in a curse and a pen gem in link, which rainbow can't even do.

act 6 is the worst offender

8+ feels pretty normal except for memetava

I was a bit drunk.

I know it was pretty retarded but it made sense for me since there was a discussion about porn on global chat so in my mind talking about hentai wasn't such an offense that deserved a perma ban.

absolutely new to the game, how come my characters have no skills? I chose witch but I don't have any curses or anything

>680dps

What the fuck

>it's an episode

>reading comprehension this bad
just copy builds and play softcore, its for people like you

It's 100 fucking increased damage for 3.0 meme builds

burning damage for rf nerds

yea softcore harbinger
ok so hopefully made a good deal, guy paid partly in exalt

>mfw already trade in cryptocoins
>now trade in even less meaningful virtual money
>what have I become

how about you don't level gems more than you can afford, or not use shit you shouldn't be using

sorry if i dont stroke my epeen on the internet like an autism kid

I made a raider tree for cyclone it gets good numbers with just a cold steel jewels socketed in duelist.
Cold steel is actually op because it's large radius and hits EVERY TWO HANDER AND AXE NODE

>tfw the SC economy always goes to shit less than a week after a new league starts as people start mass purchasing items to pump into standard

It was pretty autistic but perma ban is way to much, Jessica sounds like a whore.

farting ducks

welcome to the real game user

While everyone at reddit is too busy whining that waaaaaah the new bosses are too hard, for me it's been the highlight of 3.0 so far, even minor Gods like Gruthkul are exciting enough and you feel you have to earn these skill points in hardcore, I don't leveling new characters anymore, they actually managed to make leveling FUN

Major fights are also extremely well done and a step above everything pre 3.0
>Innocence
>Kitava
>Crabby
>Arakaali

Haven't beaten a8 yet but good job so far GiGiGi

>found my first exalt orb today
What should I buy?

Jesus christ, this looks like massive damage. What are you doing with it, earthquake or ice crash?

rmt it and get a nice burrito

Is storm burst good?

Baron

that's a reverse knockback cyclone weapon my man

pretty sure there's a potential gamebreaker with that shit, new chill mechanics, the new ice bite and buffed up added cold, and raider

just remember me you see it on reddit in two weeks

>Play Sunder Slayer, feels like shit, die all the time

>Play Spectral Throw Raider, feel like a god, game is easy, never died yet

why is melee so shit /poeg/ ?

Ah, and here i thought they went for Avatar of Fire/Hrimburn/Cold to Fire + Pyre for 90%cold to fire conversion for Freezer Pulse, Frostbolt, Vortex and Glacial.

crabby and kitava are awful design

arakaali and innocence are top tier

>I'm shit therefore this build is shit
a brilliant logic, feline poster

Vaal cyclone dude for the Pina colada build

that too but rf is super hyped

Dumb catposter

Everyone overhyped the fuck out of Kitava desu

give me a few more minutes. troubleshooting something right now.
have a picture of when i wanted to see how dangerous corrupted blood was. veeeery slow degen after all mana was gone

Bravo GGG

Dumb dumbposter.

why won't Innocence shut the fuck up

I AM YOUR GOD I AM THE END I AM THE BEST IN THE WORLD HAHA DIE YOU WORM KNEEL BEFORE YOUR GOD

like dude chill the fuck out

Thanks my dude.
And barely any damage from 20 stacks of CB? thats a hell of a lot of regen. Neat.

I can't even beat Daresso...

This. Get yourself a burrito and go grind another 12 hours on the calories you got so you buy more burritos.

if I was you I'd try to make a fuss about this desu, maybe you'll get the slut fired for abuse

let me guess, new player, evasion-based Ranger or armourless Witch, sub 1k hp?

t b h Daresso is the hardest boss of the original 4 Acts.

...

how do i know if my resistances are capped? is 75% (100%) cap??

How can a CA Trickster sustain during fights in the new bosses? I've done most of the content and am rerolling. Character prior has great sustain, which feels necessary in the new ass-raping content. How the fuck can my new character do it without dying immediately?

What's the best item class to use Orb of Ancients?

Why do people still uphold D2 as being better than PoE?

None, every item class has shitty uniques

cb dmg depends on the main hand dmg of the mob iirc

hes probably tied for hardest act boss with malachai pre-3.0

nostalgia

nostalgia

Learn to dodge stuff better. That's all there is to it. Despite what shitcrows would lead you to believe, most of the stuff happening in the new boss fights is telegraphed and highly avoidable.

The Witch one. I do have 1.5k hp though. His clone jitsu still one-shots me, though...

Well you really shouldn't be getting hit by the clone ability, its really obviously telegraphed (He stops and points his sword at you, then all the clones spawn around you its like 4 seconds before you take damage), you should be able to avoid it every time. The ice waves are usually more problematic I find, since theres no wind up more or less.

triskeriaki and pre-nerf caliga were desu

bonus points to maligaro for being the most unfun shit fight even if its hard to die to him

What's a good way to proc EE and EO as Scorching Ray?

How does CWDT work? Does it stun me when it casts? If it doesn't I can just put frost nova with a crit chance gem.

>attack composed of a 10 small consecutive hits
>"it one-shot me!"
?????????

Body slot obv they're the most desired and you have the biggest potential to strike out with belly kaoms even fuckin shavs or lc
Only one belt is good
Weapons are all boss drops
No good hats
No good boots
No good shields
No good gloves
Jewellery is hella cluttered

Link crit strikes to orb of storms

>What's a good way to proc EE and EO as Scorching Ray?
Orb of Storms
>How does CWDT work? Does it stun me when it casts?
Trigger casts are free (0 cast time, 0 mana)
>If it doesn't I can just put frost nova with a crit chance gem.
It's not a bad idea, but still somewhat unreliable to proc EO compared to OoS

>"Hey, Chris. The rare weapons' market is already shitty enough, given that are plenty of high drop rate BiS uniques that make em obsolete. What should we do?"
>"JUST MAKE ANOTHER BUSTED UNIQUE!"
>"Brilliant!"

It's not that good.
It's about on par with oros with a similar drawback.
Warcries have an animation so casting warcries on CD is FUCKING ANNOYING

why do i always end up lost running around in this game help REEEEEEEEEEEEE

/oos

It's not busted at all unless you build around it. Piss poor pdps and piss poor attack speed. A regular off-the-ground 2 hander is going to be miles better for your generic phys scaling 2h melee.

Pick a wall and follow it congrats now you will always find the exit
