" Appreciated your patch-notes review as well as your updated guides. I consider to start out with one of yours (winter orb, soulrend or shock nova). What do you think makes the best starter out of these, maybe there is anything else that I've missed and what will be your own pick? :) |

WOW the hate is strong in this thread. I wanted to start with this skill as well for 3.6 - will be following you on your stream to see some of the decisions you are going to make, especially since I have a VERY similar character that I am building.
Especially interested in how you will utilize malevolence, since I tried squeezing this in with 3 curses and discipline. And it wasn't working out. |

Will GMP with Soul Rend impact the DoT Damage?

20/20 gems now released. SR DoT looks stronger. Thoughts?
|
|
|
will it be worth investing in skill effect duration on tree/increased duration gem? also Breath of the Council Carnal Sceptre?
Waiting For Death With Open Arms.

|
Do you think it will be possible to use only Soulrend/bane?
if so the same skill tree? |

OK guys, gems are there, but still not in POB.
I did some experiments though and have some thoughts. 1) Soulrend is 25% more damage than ED, but lasts only 0.40 as a base. ED lasts 3.8 seconds. In a classic ED build we do not stack Skill Effect Duration, but there is still a 1.07 multiplier from some nodes and passives, so it gives us 4.07 seconds for ED. For Soulrend it will only give us 0.428 second.. Which is like nothing :) It SUPER FAST DoT, so it's not for "throw and run around". It's "spam spam spam spam" 2) Soulrend pierces. This is big for clearspeed. But it does not interact with Contagion in any way. 3) Soulrend has very high leech. This is good! 4) Soulrend fires only ONE projectile?? Yet in the video and the skill description it says "projectiles". If it's more than 1 than it's definitely better than ED for clearpseed. SUMMARY: Soulrend is an ED that pierces, leeches more, but lasts for only 1/10 of ED. Now to the Malevolence and Bane Bane is a Curse that has 4x time higher damage than Contagion. It also applies linked curses and gives a huge MORE multiplier per curse applied. Sounds OP, but unfortunately it requires "handcasting" to fully utilize it's potential. Handcasting a curse over and over again, along with some contagion, soulrend or ED is not an easy thing. However, new ED and Soulrend have DoT aoe around them, so HOPEFULLY Contagion won't be needed at all. I have a feelind that handcasting Bane with some curses would be super strong on it's own, since it does literally 70% of ED damage. Handcasting Bane with +1 curse will in theory give us 100% of ED damage. How "fast" will it be? We will see soon. Now for Malevolence. Malevolence reserves big 50%. The only way how we can fill it in is to use Aul's Uprising with "Disipline Reserves no Mana". This way, along with Heretic's Veil and 3 curses there and level 4 enlighten + all mana reservation nodes taken on the tree: we can use Discipline, Malevolence, 4 Curses (1 curse is a Despair from Witchfire Brew with Vixen's Entrapment) and Aspect of the Spider with 200+ mana left. If you want to play without ASPECT OF THE SPIDER = it will be much easier and will free up tree nodes. I will put a separate POB for this, as it's an expensive setup and also requires a level 98 tree. OVERALL I SEE 2 setups for now: Bane linked to 1-2 curses on handcasting + Soulrend + Potency of Will. Contagion + ED + Bane on Blasphemy (practically old setup with +1 curse) https://www.twitch.tv/angry_roleplayer All builds: http://www.angryroleplayer.com/path-of-exile-builds/ https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2143469 Editado por útlima vez por Angry_Roleplayer#6657 en 7 mar. 2019 3:19:31

" i mean if you dont want boss dps... soulrend and ed can stack together now and thats really good. i would either take auras for curses or bane with 3 curses in 4L. I think aura curses are more QoL so you can have like 25% faster map. Bow 6L in ED for high dps and Soulrend 6L in chest. its ez to get 6L bow early. |
