Regarding the "Reach of the Council" nerf speculation, here is the source;

  • We need to assess the power of the rewards. For example, for Reach of the Council we knew went out with risky balance values. We pushed it a little as we wanted it to be used, but knew if it went out too high it would only be temporary. As part of the core game, this unique heavily distorts bow use. We know we will be changing this item, and we'll need to assess all the Prophecy content for going into the live game.



No one knows what the actual changes will be, until the patch notes come out. Meanwhile, there are the Lioneye's Glare and Voltaxic Rift bows to play around with.....as well as the new Hydra bow (can't remember the name) coming next league. I for one will try to get my hands on it for some testing/fun :)

I think this tree will still be quite valid and strong.....unless the tree/ascendency gets changed as well.....

We all shall see in another week or so hehehe

"We tell people that Path of Exile league starts are a fair playing field for everyone, and we need to actually make sure that is the reality."

A BLATANT LIE by the HMFIIC.
Perhaps GGG should consider a leadership change.
thank you very much for the explanation :)
wait and see, as you said
The new essences will add additional versatility to jewelry crafting.
In particular these two:
1. % increase damage with poison (ring) - https://i.sli.mg/f5XDIE.png
2. % increase chaos damage (ring + ammy) - http://imgur.com/FcHDpyk

Can't wait!

Looks like a nice build! I am going to try it this league.

I made some rough calculations (hope they are correct) with gear/tree/gems from the first post with
a) 6L Council
b) 6L rare thicket bow (+master crafted as, +flat chaos damage) (gmp instead of fast projectiles)
c) 6L Voltaxic (gmp instead of fast projectiles)
Here some results for council

Rare bow is 1.7 times worse than Council, Voltaxic is a bit better than rare (~10% + chance to shock). But their damage is still good (consider they cost almost nothing compared to council). So i guess voltaxic is the best choice to start league.

Also Chin Sol at close range makes almost the same damage as Council, so swapping to it vs bosses should help a lot.

All bows:

Hey, good calculations. Do you take into consideration the 100% chance to hit of Glare? They would seem pretty equal with Voltaxic. Not to mention the points you save.

I am concerned if they would nerf poison not to stack... Looking at the essenses with 40% poison dmg increase seems they prepare for a nerf.

Due to Resolute Technique every bow has 100% chance to hit and I didn't change the tree modifiers for Glare. If we will "respec" 2 points from Resolute T., we can use them for 20 inc phys and 20 inc chaos near shadow. Fixed numbers (17790 5684 3.3 37516) are even a bit better than Voltaxic's. But Voltaxic has 80% chaos damage (of total non-poison DPS) while Glare has 60%.

Yes right, no idea how RT slipped my mind.
Now just cross fingers projectile damage double dips or we have to re-build a bit the tree and replace drillneck...

I read the patch note and see that poison dmg has been reduced to 8% of Phy dmg (fr om 10%), so sad I just try this build for a few day :(
It is as though a thousand mouths cry out in pain!!!

Pierce support nerf
Poison nerf
Reach of council nerf
Frostwall nerf

With the same setup ~20k DPS / 6.5k poison DPS per stack now.

Any idea if this build is able to farm uber atziri in atlas? No more frostwall is probably the biggest hit on LA.
