DId you guys read the Manifesto?

I'm a bit afraid of how the AoE modifications will affect the explosion's area from Obliteration, since the only way to increased it's area is by stacking AoE nodes from the tree.

Any guesses?

I honestly think it won't change anything for this build, we are already taking every AOE node worth taking. Even if it's going to result in a bit smaller AOE, doesn't change the fact that you will be chaining explosion as before.

Explosions from the Obliteration wand will act just like they did previous, so modifiers that applied to them will still apply, just with new stats and values.

dont play the build(at least i made one lvled a bit but was to busy with other chars) but i saw bex ansering this so i tought ill C&P it here

Yea, I saw that. In fact, if you check it again you will that I made the question Bex replied to. =)

I'm just a bit worried that it might nerf the best part of this build (imo), the extremely satisfying chain reaction explosions.
I can easily see then buffing base AoE of many skills because of the AoE changes, but forgetting to update base AoE of passive/item effects, such as the explosions from Obliteration.

But I guess we will have to wait to see

Hey guys, been trying this build in std and it's been awesome. I'm gonna definitely do it in legacy league if the aoe from explosions isn't nerfed a lot. Just gonna show off the std gear a bit :)

the 48 points link on tree part isnt working correctly

Thank you, sir. Fixed the problem!

Has anyone ever made this build using CI?

EDIT: Just realized that Cloaked in Savagery only works with life (right?). And CI means full life all the time. So... rip CI idea.

I was playing with PoE Planner and came up with this passive tree:

www.poeurl.com/4on

Has 259% increased ES (considering ES from Energy from Within, Int and tree itself).
With two Elreon mod rings, it can go up to 299% increased ES. (Chayula amulet, so no Elreon mod)

6L would be:
BV + Poison + Void Manupulation + Controlled Destruction + Added Chaos + AoE/Conc

With average ES gear, its easy to reach 9k ES. With GG ES gear, can go up to 11.5k ES.
Also, if using only Discipline aura and Vulnerability from Witchfire Brew, we will have 65% unreserved mana, which allows us to get Mind of Matter with just 1 point and abuse Vaal Clarity while mapping and killing bosses, effectively increasing our EHP. (Don't actually know if this could be a good ideia, but its an option. They are adding mana nodes behind MoM)

The lack of Hidden Potential wont affect too much our final damage, as we get the upper right Phys+Chaos cluster, which helps a lot.

For my Life based tree, I was getting Obliteration explosions dealing 157,5% of monster base life as chaos damage. With this tree I get 133% of monster base life as chaos damage. Still enough to chain-explode packs.

I do know its a much more expensive approach to a build that can essentially perform very well with just blue items and some uniques. However, it might be a safer approach. (because... ES, you know)

And since I'm bored as fuck, I decided to "try" it on PoE Planner, just to see if it could be viable.

Would love some criticism and ideas from you guys.

Cheers!

I actually thought about it when planning this build, but I personally do not like the ES playstyle and gearing, but it's definitely viable.

Yeah, I think Cloaked in Savagery doesn't work. I would take Rite of Ruin instead, for the stun immunity, allowing you to drop Eye of Chayula (you maybe need to use it for long and pure 1v1 fights, like vs shaper or those stuff).
If you are willing to try it out, I'd like to know how it's going to perform. Obviously you are going to sacrifice some damage, since you won't use Cospri's and need to "waste" a socket for Poison, but it should be more than viable for most contents in the game.

CI can compare in DPS.

Our chest is a 7L they have to use 6L

We double dip 125% with hidden potential they cant wear blue gear because you get no ES off blue gear.

They cant run 3 curse because of discipline

etc

CI is tank option and there is plenty of great build out there as CI tho. I play many and made one. I like this best. Little glass cannon but big DPS, cheap and best AOE thanks to obliterations.

Hey,

If starting legacy league with this build would i use BV - Controlled Destruction - Poison - Added chaos - conc - void mani in a tabula before getting the Cospri's?
(Would 5 link Cospri able to kill all bosses up to t15 and or atziri or is 6 link mandatory?)

Also how would i need to change the curse application since can't have more than 1 BV activated anymore.

So will ne wording of aoe nodes(inc aoe of area skills) scale with obliteration wand explosions?
