How is it even possible to run CI (100% chaos resistance, so poison immunity) and use the shield that is poisoning you? lel Chaos Innoculation describtion poe wiki: "..., immunity to chaos damage can be a significant advantage."

Oh dear. There's 74 CI+GR+VP characters on the Incursion ladder at the moment (6 of them Tricksters like my guy Wuru) so I wonder how much that's gonna change?

Poison describtion poe wiki: "Poison is an ailment that deals chaos damage over time to the affected target." I'm... Not even sure what the question is? I mean, if you're serious (If you've had any CI characters, they're so old they de-specced) the shield means that you still get poisoned... It just does a damage type you're immune to. So you're still poisoned, and still technically being subjected to damage over time... Just that you mitigate it all. Same deal, really, with bleeding if you use Immortal Call: you're still bleeding, and still taking physical damage over time... Just that you're immune to the damage. Similar if you're using Righteous Fire and you bump your fire resist to 100% or more.

" DUKE_OF_SNUFF wrote: I Played flicker strike in the past. and its good and fun but... it lacks a simple mechanic change to be good. it need to namelock with multistrike and only attack that target if you aimed on a boss. several encounters are unplayable if you cant controle where your char is moving. i think i made a huge post in the feetback forum for 2.0?. Also 6k es is just rediculess little. not HC viable at all, ci lacks atm 2k es at any levels( i tryed it abit: a occultist es fortress that use to have 22k now struggle to reach 12k, your random non es class that use to have 10-12k will sit at 6-7k with same investement. its simply to little. especialy taking into consideration that 99% of thoes previous 10-12k es builds 100% survived by old VP, the es needs a decent buffer now. the only es builds atm that is not super weak is guardian ll. reaching 11-13k on a non str/mana stacking(no watchers) build since it got tons of ele and phys mitigation and regen. I am running an LL 7.5k ES Occultist and am UberElder viable. (And I started playing in Bestiary. No crazy Legacy Gear) Proof: Spoiler CI is really strong for ES Melees that use Red Trail or StatStick/eleconvert with Incandecent Heart. Just because builds that used to work some years ago do not work anymore now (without legacy gear) is no reason to start buffing certain talents senselessly. It is a good thing people are forced to come up with new builds and can't run the same builds each new season for years. That the definition of stale. If you still want to run the old crazy 20kES Builds get yourself bonkers legacy gear and 'enjoy'. Or come up with a new specc that doesnt even need crazy numbers to do the content of the game due to new mechanics/uniques.

Why does every build of the week get a massive nerf? It's too much investment in currency and time to replicate and try out these builds. At some point too much change can negatively impact the active player base and community. I shouldn't look at a youtube video and be like "yeah, that's a cool build I'd like to try that out. I don't have the time to level a character up and get the gear before it's nerfed".	Posted by Dragonxtamer__ on Jul 26, 2018, 3:41:04 PM Quote this Post

That's it. And new builds crop up. Anyhow: How did any of the Build of the Weeks over the last couple Months get nerfed in any way? Wat? Is Arc Trapper suddenly bad or what? Summon Builds IMO are the least nerfed builds of all? Golem Elementalist was and is broken strong for multiple Leagues by now. Red Trail flickers have been around for a couple months by now and work great?	Posted by Cyrix1337 on Jul 26, 2018, 3:58:25 PM Quote this Post

With screen shake ON, it'd be on another level entirely. Good to know I can scratch that skill off my list of things to try out. But now I kinda wanna see how bad it is with screen shake on. :P I thought It'd be awful until I used it. Very fun skill and nowhere near as bad as you think it'll be to watch. I don't have screen shake on, if that matters.
