Last thread autosaging, i'm making a new one because new leagues are the only time when PoE is on Holla Forums and in 5 days you'll never see these threads again. Fuck you.
KITAVA IS A CUNT! EDITION
Discuss it here. Also give me an idea for a build or post yours and i'll help you with it.
PSA: zombies are actually quite strong now with 1x Violent Dead jewel, that you get from a quest in oriath. IMO they're better to level with than raging spirits - even better if you use both.

Made a Blast Rain hybrid Ranger. Feels okay.
Just started Act 8

Oro's Sacrifice Raider Ranger accelerator full armor Iron Reflexes Vaal pact. I decided to go with one build I have problems mid game. Where mid-game is 80% of new content. I went scrubcore and I regret not taking full tank necro witch. I wish I went SRS hardcore. I am only at act 7 it is worthy to mention, and I cannot imagine how much I will regret act 10.
Leo Brooks
Much. anything you do, unless you're prepared, will get steamrolled by the spectral throw cunts of act 10. I had 3k life, maxed resists, minions tanking shit and we still got obliterated by those fucking heretics/guardians, Every pack was a nightmare.
The other zones aren't so bad though, just the open city. Kitava can be a cunt but if you're in scrubcore just resurrect and rush it.

I started act 8 a while ago. It's worse than 7 by a significant amount. Now getting 1 shot isn't only dedicated to bosses but also nasty rare packs.

Anyone managed to make Storm Blast worthwhile? I looked at this Arc witch build on the forum where the dude suggests using it for single target. The problem is that the damage doesn't seem that different, it's choosing between burst and more steady dps.
Storm Blast takes too long to start casting, it feels like it takes nearly 2 seconds to get enough orbs to release even when standing in melee range. With all the bosses having fucking insane amount of shit you need to avoid it's almost impossible to get the time for it. Another thing that makes it worse for my build is that I rely on life steal as a Berserker. Since it's bursty damage every now and then, if I get hit twice between casts I'm dead. Arc gives me a more reliable leech.

Already died twice, someone put me out of my misery

Do you mean storm burst? Use greater multiple proj, cast when channelling and ball lightning, should help with clearing packs. For bosses you want slower projectiles but don't remove GMP. Also try to get as much cast speed as you can from passive tree and items, it helps a lot.
Evan Jenkins
I feel like GMP, conc effect and one of the elemental meme supports (eg controlled destruction) would be good
On that note, are any of the +elem dmg supports ever worth using on anything?
