How To Bait 101

[@LocalIdentity1]

Not bad Mr Streamer, your baiting skills are pretty good but you've got some more room to grow in order to become a master-baiter 1. Make sure to tick all your Vaal Auras regardless of if you can use them 2. Add legacy Tattoos to your tree cause you copied the tree from 3 leagues ago and never updated it despite changing the video title to the current league 3. Add an Aura bot through the Party tab to your build as you'll be playing in a group at league start even though the build is SSF viable 4. Click on "Show all Configurations" in the config tab and select more buffs you could never obtain ------- BEWARE FOR MASTER BAITERS ONLY -------- 5. Add "^0" before any text in PoB to functionally make it invisible to the background. You can then add any stat to any item or in the custom mods box with no one being the wiser I look forward to seeing your grow into the master-baiter I know you can be

[@CaptainLance9]

this information is almost too powerful to be shared. some might say you know too much about PoB

You forgot a really nifty trick, which is enabling vaal skills - specifically vaal arctic armour. That's a free x10 to your effective max hit which is really hard for people to spot

[@ntma]

yeah man. I tick that on my superthicc jugg and its like 'lol 6k delve viable'

[@TheModdedwarfare3]

Vaal arctic armor is criminally underrated for maven imo.

[@FubzyMC]

​@TheModdedwarfare3 uber atziri actually does negative damage when you have that much positive cold res tbh

[@rdubyeah]

I always do a Vaal MS tick with CWDT level 20 steelskin. Free 60k ehp build creators don’t want you to know about. When I die I just blame GGG’s lack of death recap.

[@mbXtreme]

The Problem is... some Content Creators these days can check half of the tips you mentioned and thanks to your Video, they now have more ways to improve.

Very good and informative video for newer / not as experienced players. Hope it gets a ton of views, because content like that is REALLY needed, especially before league start... i always start to laugh when seeing videos like "A list of 50 league starters" or stuff like that... there's just so much baiting out there...

"just get a bunch of shrines, and then I cut to the part where I had 10 shrines on my character" sounds like FastAF

[@Cyclopsided]

As someone who puts out niche build guides (and like 10k views a league), this stuff is great unironically. It helps people screen builds better to not get baited. There's a lot of creators in my size range that aren't the big names. Hell, i made a mistake once a year or two ago of having guard skills up the whole time, one time, and got rightly criticized. So I'll make a twenty minute video explaining literally every mechanic and why each box that gets ticked with its relative uptime and everything. Some people like that, and many get impatient and leave the video. Is what it is. But I'd rather not bait someone. Cheers for making the community better.

Tenkiei out did you on this lance, he made a bait video so flawlessly that he didn't even realize it himself, even after double-checking (I assume KZbinrs do that) and then uploads onto the platform. Masterclass at work.

[@psyjinx]

Huge guide. As someone who started at the end of Affliction, this makes me even more undecided. The cost of everything will go down by the time I decide what I want to try for my first league start. This makes it to where if I choose a bait build, it'll be viable.

[@WesternHypernormalization]

15:09 "My answer is, generally, I don't play hardcore." Until the table gets in the way...

[@honordevs]

Satire is the best way to bring attention to this absolute plague in the building community. Solid video. P.S. You're forgetting Flasks. Remember to use Enkindling Orb and also assume full immunity, so grab things like %crit and %armour/eva, instead of needed immunities. Also assume that all the uniques are perfectly rolled.

[@teekeh]

if you're not using unique gloves you can always add a rage generation implicit to your gloves, enable berserk, and set rage to 50 in the config

[@Legionthecomrade]

The custom modifiers tab is the gold standard for fake minion damage. You can put all kinds of specter stuff in there that of course is always up 100% of the time and hitting the enemy every time. Brittle boots on a AG are the best.

[@rozczochrany2865]

Brittle boots are my top 1. Look guys lm crit capped.

[@polarbehr4968]

I got baited 'cuz I'm only a player but I was intrigued by the 'normal players can leave' comment and I watched the whole thing to see what I would be missing.

[@nonyabisness6306]

if i had a cent for every video i watched today about people being angry at bait league starters i'd have 2 cents. which isn't a lot, but it's good to see it picking off. :)

[@bewilder210]

As someone that has been playing the game for 7 years, I have never ever make a pob or copy a pob for a league start build. I read patch notes, see if there is any interesting change, if there is something I want to try, and then I just slap them straight in the game while playing. I only use PoB once I reach red maps or min-maxing.

[@DarkBiCin]

I have one expectation in this video Edit: yup this def has to be about “THAT” video and im here for it

This whole time i thought i was the master baiter, but ive been baiting myself. Lance has shown me that a true master of baiting, baits other random people too, i shall aim to be like lance and from now on ill dedicate myself to baiting random others. Thank you for your wisdom master captain.

[@miximus_op7696]

Nephentus made all the tips and now he is a joke for everyone

[@zestylem0n]

I get so annoyed when a build will have a clip of them with an echoing shrine or accelerating. Mathil has done this a few times and it's like, dude this video has like 4 minutes of gameplay, I don't want a third of it to be you juiced to the gills on shrines.

[@シャルダスくん]

Finally, I can make my SSF HC Chain hook build viable. Poggies indeed 😍

[@ideryd]

Great video, loved the blatant sarcasm 😂 amazing!

[@NeilyWins]

I try and tell so many friends that the PoBs they are getting from so many league start videos are unrealistic or bloated. This is a great callout Lance.

[@hogmuncher]

the 200% all res is something i, as someone that likes looking at other people's builds, will defend forever, most other things are unethical to put into config but that shit makes it so much easier to identify actual stats on items that you want to look for and getting res on gear unless you have like 5 uniques is so insanely easy (i know the video is a joke btw but still had to say this)

[@TelvanniPoE]

11:04 Cheesed Shock Effect is one of my biggest pet peeves when people push out PoBs. Like no. Your max hit is not high enough to apply 20% shock effect to Pinnacle Bosses...

[@Nuray653]

I like the fact that the build showcase is a 20c budget build

[@hydra-qy7vz]

Look like an amazing leaguestart build really easy to setup and cheap , a true well rounded beast

[@matthewbrown6397]

There are now more unique bait videos for this league start than there are actual unique league start guides.

[@michelspode423]

super fun video! and the es number is just crazy

[@cwjalexx]

As a newb this vid actually helped me with pob a bit

[@rein7046]

I'd point out that for specialised build creators (someone for example who plays only RF or only mine builds or something) they are almost always able to throw together a tree in pob and have it be accurate. Like if someone has been playing stormblast mine every league for the past 5 years with success they can be trusted to throw a pob together outside the game.

[@dergodi]

My PoB Warrior build became active with this video

[@VideoHostSite]

Your ideas are intriguing to me, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

[@josephsmith7023]

unironically, when I'm doing a PoB for a character I usually do put +200% all ele res because I know I'm gonna max my res, but trying to put it on a per item basis is just annoying, so I never put it on my theoretical gear. I don't make build guides though, so it's just for me XD

[@TheSwoon69]

yeah that is super common, i do it too. Creating individual items for league start can be annoying as hell
