Slight nerf to hatred unless we use grips. Nothing crazy it should be offset by the consecration changes giving us a significant buff to single targets.

Working on new PoB's this morning, sticking with the maim support chests as the recommended end-game gear. We're gonna be split again between people who want to continue using hatred and grip of the council picking up 2 new gem sockets to play with, vs those of us giving up hatred in favor of Brutality. Potentially getting access to another aura in vaal haste? Don't know as always there's a lot to play with here.

The core remains the same, stack jewels, stack life/regen, pick up your loot.


Anyone looking for our white whale this season go find that Elder Bone Helmet base to craft/enchant on.

A quick question about Kingmaker--If we equip it ourselves wont our ice golems benefit from the buffs especially increased physical damage?

thanks

We'll have to see exactly what the item looks like, but the way I read the patch notes nearby allies will not gain the phys damage, just the crit chance and fortify.

It's almost definitely not worth us equipping ourselves because of the loss of victario's charity. But it could very well be worth giving up primordial chain for and throwing it onto a guardian.

(The bad news is if we give up primordial chain we have to find 100% minion movement speed)


EDIT: Make that 90% minion movespeed, the guardian could wear victario's flight

Okay the PoB's for the variant's i'll be trying this league are up. Also included the life based hatred build from last league that I ran.

I'll update again once path of building has the skill gem changes with a final recommendation and a note as to which one i'll be doing this season. I want to sim the new crit strike changes/hatred changes before I decide but the trees shouldn't really change at all and early season gearing still looks the same.

Grab a Tabula, Grab a Skullhead, get a chain/clayshaper/vic's charity and go to town.

Only real change to the tree's will be if Chaos damage is super prevalent again we'll be taking the chaos/life wheel.

Let me know what I can do to improve the layout.



I'll be streaming this league start if anyone wants to watch the progress. https://www.twitch.tv/utopian239

Hopefully requirement gear for this build is cheap this league, with so much focus on spell casting :)~

I... I wouldn't hold out hope friendo... The good news is tabula takes us most of the way there to our end-game powerspike, and the new crafting should be very good for us when we're trying to perfect our defensive pieces.

With the change on convocation at 4s, maybe we can try that...
But is still worth it ?

Probably not because we're so socket starved but it definitely opens up possibilities. The damage would be comparable, it's just a question if it's worth the hassle of running extra minions/buying gear for your AG everytime he dies to something stupid.

just wanted to know if there is a big DPS difference between 6-1-1-1 setup and 5-1-1-1-1 for full immunity
