That bow is crazy. At least they didn't give it 9% crit too.

[QUOTE=Teh Zip File;50453422]Shield charge... looks like a legit skill now. Like, actually worth making an entire build around.[/QUOTE] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1adz7DHNRs[/media] Look at this shit. It's fucking crazy. I am so doing a crit shield charge Assassin using Bino's as my next build.

I wanna do a Siege Ballista build, but I'm unsure if I should go for Templar or Scion. Templar would get access to +2 totems, but Scion would get access to +1 totem and probably better access to bow related skills: Templar [T]http://puu.sh/pitkG/65c3191e8f.png[/T] Scion [T]http://puu.sh/pitn8/7f96b6de3d.png[/T] Scion would also give me access to this ascendancy skill point [T]http://puu.sh/pitz6/532270eca5.png[/T] Also with the passive that gives me +1 totem but doesn't allow me to deal damage with other skills, I'm not sure what other kinds of skills I should use other than maybe Projectile Weakness curse and maybe a manaregen aura.

are you getting AB? wouldn't recommend heirophant's node for anything more than 3 totems, with 3 totems its already 24% less. ascendant's node also has a pretty big downside from being stuck in the helm, I really think that's more for builds with utility totems do note that you don't need any of those if you build for [URL="http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Iron_Commander"]iron commander[/URL] which can easily net you 4-5 totems since it shouldn't be too hard to hit 1k dex. the base damage will be worse than a good bow but I imagine you could make a more efficient tree on the right side when you don't need to travel to AB (and the base crit is pretty good) alternatively the new quiver [URL="http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Skirmish"]skirmish[/URL] has +1 attack totems, I assume it works with ballista but not 100% sure. though you are trading a lot of free damage that you'd get with drillneck

Will Iron Commander stay relevant to lategame? I mean the additional ballista per 200 dexterity seems good but the damage on it seems incredibly mediocre past level 40, so even with a large number of ballistaes I wouldn't be doing a lot of damage.

Iron Commander's damage isn't [i]that[/i] great which is why a lot of people go elemental, like in [url=https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1626895]this build.[/url]

yeah it is low, with 1k dex you can probably juuust eek out 200 dps... I havn't done a ballista build so I'm just speculating. you would probably have to use abyssus and/or point blank keystone to supplement the damage. though the fact that it's a totem rather than a self-cast does make both of those options a lot safer that said, that would give you 6 totems without AB. compared to say, 4 totems (AB+skirmish), that's equivalent to a 300dps bow. though it does seem like 6 totems might be overkill for clearspeed beyond that I can't comment, might just want to find some decent ballista builds and see what's most popular

Yeah fireworks are pretty shitty to include in a gambling box which is why I don't buy them :v:

the fireworks are called 'dark soulercoaster' :v:

Juggernaut Earthquake is pretty fun. Near permanent Immortal Call and the damage I take between ICs regens during the next one

I told myself to skip Prophecy league and focus on Overwatch for a while until a new league is released. Couldn't resist at least buying the Prophecy supporter pack and opening mysterious boxes with the credits. Got the Gloom wings and Gloom herald MTX in my first 3 boxes :v: I caved and am gonna play Prophecy league anyway

600 points, and All were consumables / decorations, except 3 pairs of gloom gloves.

it needed a nerf, it should still be viable

I'm not too bummed about it but damn, they don't nerf spark/vaal spark/VMS mid-league yet they nerf shield charge. [url=http://webcdn.pathofexile.com/public/chris/AoEdifference.png]It looks like it still has good AoE though[/url] (Left is old, right is new)

Holy shit. There's a prophecy that upgrades Blackheart into [url=http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Voidheart]this ring:[/url] [img]http://i.imgur.com/set2vva.jpg[/img] GGG really does want me to go Assassin shield charge.

Is it worth playing again if you played when it first released or is everyone doing endgame stuff?

[QUOTE=waylander;50488840]Is it worth playing again if you played when it first released or is everyone doing endgame stuff?[/QUOTE] The game is definitely worth playing again. The way the game is played is very different from a lot of other games, as you're not going to be grinding end-game for months or years(Unless that's what you want to do). Most players, including everyone who's active in the Facepunch guild play in what's called a challenge league. The game is split up in to two parts, the Standard league which is just the default game and challenge leagues. A challenge league is a game world isolated from the permanent Standard league, in a challenge league everyone starts at level 1 with a fresh economy. These leagues run for about 3-4 months and once they end they are absorbed by the permanent Standard league and shortly after another challenge league begins. Challenge leagues offer unique mechanics that the developers test before they decide if they want to add them in to the main game. The current league is called Prophecy and features some unique game mechanics which are pretty neat. The league only started a week ago so there's still time to jump in and play. The game is always evolving and just keeps getting better and better and is entirely different from the game I started playing 3 years ago. You should give the game another shot.

And then this ring pops up and pretty much nullifies all of that :v:

Leveling new characters is sooo nice now that you only have to do trials once per league.
