Path of Exile 2.0 - Discussion

[Homerboy]

Yeah that's a pretty slick move and great idea.
Probably the only rares worth saving/sacrificing then to be honest. All the other options off the Darkshrines are sort of lame and/or temporary.

 

[Homerboy]

I give up.
Somebody pick a build for me, give me a link and I will go with it.

Gotta be fairly easy to play (I'm old and don't have the twitch like I used to in 1994)

I think it's been mentioned a couple of times in this (ginormous) thread already, but dual flame totem witch is easy, not too equipment dependent and fun:

My latest one I used firestorm in the lower levels which helped build it much, much faster.

Perfect for us older guys with deficient twitch reflexes.

Yeah... got one of those at level 84 already as my main toon

I started up a Southpaw. We'll see how it goes. I hate that guy's build explanation though.

 

[Homerboy]

I have to say I really like molten strike when I use it in the lower levels. It just seems to plow through mobs pretty easily. I have an old (and horrible) Molten Strike build that I'd like to go back to (maybe start from scratch).

How to abuse darkshrines:

Get a rare with a crit multiplier mod on it.

Make your character naked. EVEN REMOVE FLASKS. Keep just one skill gem in inventory, that you want 20% quality on.

Sacrifice crit multiplier mod rare to darkshrine.

Hope crit multiplier mod is picked (equal chance out of all mods, so on a 6-affix, 1/6 chance). Enjoy your 20% quality skill gem. Go back to town and get dressed again. Repeat for every darkshrine until you're fully 20% gemmed out.

Yeah, Im going to do this to a few empower, enhance, and enlighten before the league ends. Fantastic trick.

I am working on one as well.
Use the spreadsheet he gives, much easier to follow

Yeah I was working off that. Still kinda crappy compared to all the other builds detailed in the forums. I mean it's workable, but I'm lazy!

Ok Homer... this build is really starting to come into it's own for me.
I finally got the relentless fury offhand... Physical 1hand main.
Vaal reave and using Faster attacks with Hatred and Phy dmg and its seriously fun.
I just hit 32

I'm at 31 and don't have nearly the gear that you apparently do
Where'd you get Vaal Reave already?

You can see my crappy build here:

Character is "Themal"

"Good News Everyone!!!" (sorry couldn't resist)
I have a spare Vaal reave for you
I bought 1 for 1 chaos only to find one an hour after that in a corrupted area.

My gear is not great, the relentless fury cost 1 Alchemy from poe.trade.
My current dps is only around 500 more or less with Reave. (normal Reave)

As for your build you are following the same guide as me.
I went straight for Golem's blood after picking up the intellect node where you are and I suggest the same. The HP regen is VERY helpful.
See my current build below....

Yeah I haven't shopped for anything on poe.trade yet -- just been working off whatever I find (except for my weapon -- somebody left that in the Guild Stash and has proven better than anything I can find on my own so far).

I have a bunch of the "end game" items recommended sitting in my stash in Standard, so I will probably wait until I can use those.

I'll take the Vaal off yer hands

Does it matter what type of skill gem? I've been trying this on a flame totem, probably done it a dozen times at least with no luck (except at least once it seemed to level up the gem from level 1 to level 12). Been using mostly rare foils.

I have some weapons that "might be upgrades" for you as well, maybe even rings.
Shoot me a pm next time you see me online, though with girlfriend might not be until later this weekend because of the time difference.

On a side note... I got lucky and a Quill Rain dropped
Need to sell for some currency

I got one of those in my standard stash too. Lionseye Glare too

I finally got Perfection on a Shrine
Now my Reave is 20% quality

 

[Jax Omen]

My character in flashback was a Southpaw Reave character (mildly different than Ziggy's version - I used a Bino's dagger instead of a rare sword because I LOVE Bino's).

Lemme know if you have questions about it!

Also: Lavianga's Wisdom > Relentless Fury for leveling >_> DAT AOE

I picked up a Relentless Fury for 1C. Thing is a beast. My toon attacks in a blur now. Still need to find a solid weapon though -- always seems to be my biggest issue with any build.

The Relentless fury isn't used at all for Reave. its a stat stick so to speak.
However you get the bonuses from it... the big 2 are culling strike and Onslaught.
For main hand you want either a sword, dagger or Claw with the highest physical dmg (physical dps).
From what I gather it does not matter which hand they go.
I will say one thing.
I was using Reave with Physical dmg and Attack speed but Multristrike brings it to another level, especially with how quickly your Reave gets to 4 stacks.
You get Multistrike in a Quest in Act 4 normal.
You need to then attach it to bother normal reave and vaal reave.
I cannot wait until I have a decent 4L.. nevermind a 5L ...
I can see how with gear this build will push out serious dps.

@ Jax.... I want to tweak Ziggy's build to add more HP nodes... his HP looked very ... shall we say low in the video. What are your thoughts?

 

[XiandreX]

Rng loves me.... Exalted just dropped lol

Yeha I know it's not "used" for the Reave attack. I'm just saying that by getting it and equipping it into your off-hand, the Reave becomes that much more deadly.

REALLY looking forward to a 5L to toss in increased radius.

 

[Jax Omen]

The southpaw build I did had 169% increased HP from tree @ level 85, I had 4.5k HP.

In talking with my GF I think we will be skipping Darkshrine to avoid burning out too hard before the next longer league.

 

[Homerboy]

Didn't we buy/apply extra tabs and custom tabs for our guild? They disappear with the new league?

 

[Jax Omen]

Tabs should never disappear. If they're actually not there, put in a support ticket.
