3.11 Initial Thoughts/Comments
*This post will be constantly updated as GGG releases more info that I find worth mentioning(i.e. related to our build)*

Patch Notes

Nerfs

Spoiler

1. Unfortunately we got hit kinda hard with the 3.11 Patch Notes, now We are back to 7 Max Totems instead of 11 Max Totems

It's similar to when I played this build in 3.9 which only has 7 Max Totems then, less powerful but it did worked fine then when bosses were buffed greatly that patch and everyone was complaining.

oh well, we'll continue to adapt and improvise :)


2. Depending on when you plan to play this build, this could be a nerf or neutral to you.

Estuary Map appears only at Tier 14 now so it will be harder at league start to obtain Frostferno. Won't affect those who switch to this build later on in the league.

No Changes/Neutral

Spoiler

1. "GGG mentioned in Previous Day's Development Manifesto:

"

"Critical Strike Multiplier values have been lowered from almost every passive, as well as from some items"

I did a check through all the Notables here,

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2873767

Seems like none of the ones we use(Lethality, Small Passive near Watchtowers and Shaman's Dominion) were affected which is great! Plus there wasn't any mention of changes to Marylene's Fallacy which is nice!


2. There was a small buff to a totem Notable on the Passive Tree, Primal Manifestation

Old Values
24% increased Totem Damage
20% increased Totem Life
20% increased Totem Duration

New Values
30% increased Totem Damage
30% increased Totem Life
30% increased Totem Duration

Unfortunately we are not taking it so it doesn't affect us. That said if the small Passives leading to Primal Manifestation got buffed too, which we are unable to see for now, it might be worth taking a look at this area since it's pretty near our path in the Passive Tree.

Buffs

Spoiler

The new Chainbreaker Keystone is a big buff for us. Here's my detailed thoughts from a few days ago:

"

(13th June 2020) GGG revealed a new Timless Jewel Keystone today called Chainbreaker



This Keystone is very interesting for our build because:

1. It's a way to get Rage(At 50 Rage we get 50% increased attack damage, 25% increased attack speed and 10% increased movement speed)

2. Since we don't hit our enemy often(Only when we want to curse them), the disadvantage doesn't affect us much so we will be at 50 Rage most of the time.

3. We already have 100% Mana Regeneration Rate through the 5 Small Passive from our Ascendancy, and we can get another 65% Mana Regeneration Rate at the starting area of Templar if we go towards Sanctity Notable instead of Retribution Notable. As such we may not need to specifically look for Mana Regeneration Rate on the items we use.


How I look at this Keystone is like this:

We will be maintaining 50 Rage most of the time when Mapping. However when bossing, we will be utilizing this Rage through the Berserk Gem

The benefits of the Berserk Gem is pretty insane to say the least since all the benefits work multiplicatively!


So my questions for this Keystone will be:

Does Ritual of Awakening's "Regenerate 0.5% of Mana per second for each Summoned Totem" apply to the keystone?

Base on the wording I would think it probably won't apply to Chainbreaker, which I think is both a plus and minus in this case.

It's a Plus because We will continue to take advantage of the Mana Regeneration for our Totem Cast. It's a Minus because Berserk will last shorter.


Concerns/Considerations

With the Mana Regeneration Rate changed to apply to Rage Regeneration, it's hard to say if we will have enough mana to sustain casting our totems. In the event that mana regen is not fast enough, we might need to fall back to using a Mana Flask.

Alternatively, we can also go for the "Non-Channelling Skills have (-#) to Total Mana Cost" affix to reduce our Totems cost.


Regardless, I think the potential this Keystone can bring definitely makes it very interesting!

Let's be honest, 11 ballistas was pretty nuts. It's a good thing they nerfed the cluster jewel, it was to strong.

I think I'll still try to go with this one as a league starter.

Hi, I don't have any ideas for an "Energy Shield Version" of this build, perhaps someone else does? :)

Well... definitely not as nuts as the other 2... and I am sure you know which 2 :P

Will you manage to update the build before league starts, Vei? Just so I know if I should wait for update or start trying to understand the changes here :P

About the Chainbreaker and Rage, won't lack of mana regen hurt quite hard? I thought totems cost quite a bit of mana to summon. Blood magic, maybe?

Hello,

one last question:

There is a new harvest crafting option for weapons:

Enchant a weapon. Quality does not increase its physical damage, grants +1% increased Elemental Damage per 2% Quality

Should we aim for that and dont care about vaaling our weapon? :O
