[@bknight3391]

Spiral Volley + Bushwhacker has been a great fun build on Deadeye... Pinning everything everywhere and the frenzy bonuses make it smooth as hell. Barrage with 7 frenzy charges makes Snipe a huge damage dealer. You can get 70% terrain chain chance super easily since they buffed Ricochet support, and apparently you can get a corruption on quivers to get some more, so it's likely possible to get 100% terrain chain chance for Spiral Volley. It's been so much nicer to play than warrior.

[@n8doggy733]

there needs to be more flames, it feels good when you get a patch where there is like 20 but then you can go down an entire hallway or section and get zero. So since nobody is playing Acolite anyways I think adding more flames would be a good idea, maybe double the amount of flames

[@hadson2460]

I thinik the main problem is each flame have their own duration so it's not really possible to stack them... If instead they all have one general duration which refresh on new flame (like charges) it would be just fine...

[@jmanredbull1]

@@hadson2460 Probably how they could implement it is have the stack reset as part of the 2nd node for the branch of the ascendancy, gives it double duration on the buffs and the buffs timers are reset when gaining at stack. They could also make the flames over leech by default as well to act as a faux regen, might make going into the breach worth comparable to other ascendancies

[@thekvng201]

The chaos flames stack bro once you get additional duration you can have 6 stacks for 10 seconds which is enough for most bosses stack poison enemy and hit him with a fully buffed plague nova which deals over 12000+ poison damage and scales with physical and chaos damage

[@timjohnson5260]

interestly enough.. this also works with grenades.. Ive been doing this for some time. put magnified in hoi, scatter shot in poison cloud.. tossed out one set of clouds.. and watch the entire screen explode.. takes some shinanigans with the ring, radiant faith helm to auto ignite nearby enemies, and using the gloves that split all ele damage into 33% of each.. now the trick is to put all the gems like innervate and ice bite in the setup that get 35 percent more damage when shocking and ignited enemy or another 35 percent more damage when freezing an enemy. set that up in poison cloud.. put pen of each type in explosive grenade.. put exposure of each type in explosive bolt. Full screen explosions with dps off the chain.. Having way more fun with my shitty merc now.. Now if they could just lower the cooldowns to base 2 seconds.. not 3.. or you basically cannot attack half the time in high maps with less cooldown recovery. Outside of that its a little better than the deadeye in general.

[@ADHD_Junkie]

@timjohnson5260 Have a look at a demo from @ThatsRealNeato. He posted a video about 99% reduced fuse duration

[@BullettiAPE]

For single target, you can also do Shockburst Rounds from crossbow skills and stack shock effect on Stormcaller. It's a convenient way to apply whatever damage you have, which is likely going to involve at least some lightning damage and scaling for it for Herald of Thunder. I use Sniper's mark with Deadeye for two chances at getting to maximum FC, which is pretty nice with the 50% chance to act as if you spent double FC from Deadeye.

[@DSGNjunkie]

What links would you use to optimize single target? I really don’t like how snipe feels.

[@BullettiAPE]

@DSGNjunkie attack speed, ele damage, ele damage without ailments, damage per bolt reloaded, and whatever else is left for the 5th. Reload speed would increase effective dps, too. I have a video on my channel from when I had less optimum gear and trees with bad weapon slot passive allocation, but it was still effective.

[@BullettiAPE]

@@DSGNjunkie Forgot to mention Concentrated effect, though I suspect it only works on the pulse part of the skill. Ther pulse is 80% of the damage, so the 40% area becomes 32% effective.

[@leniusxue6541]

I don't think nerfing the Herald skill is the key issue right now. While HOI excels at clearing, there are many other skills that are also very strong at one-tap screen. The real issue is that the endgame gameplay completely deviates from what they advertised and wanted to achieve. Path of Exile 2 aimed to increase action, boss farming, and combat interactions, but instead, we got a bunch of even more exaggerated clearing and damage mechanics compared to the POE1. In the POE1, even now, the Occultist‘s explosion still has a place, but the Witchhunter's even stronger explosion has a very low presence in the POE2. The mechanic of losing the map upon death places an excessive emphasis on defensive capabilities, but at the same time, the strength of life and ES is severely unbalanced. GGG needs to make significant adjustments to the end-game gameplay and balance.

[@Olixer109]

I agree. The lack of bosses is sad :(

[@MyNameIsSalo]

Their next patch will really set the scene for what's to come and their vision of the game. I genuinely don't think you can get the act 1 experience for 100+ hours of gameplay which is what PoE2 was aimed at, because there's so many gems, ascendancies, unique items etc and there will always be something that destroys the game. That's what a lot of people play PoE for, it's a sandbox to be exploited. If GGG insists on the act 1 experience for all of endgame then they'd have to play a never ending cat and mouse game of bopping down builds that are too strong mid-league. Because there will be something new and broken discovered whenever new content comes out, that's the beauty of the sandbox gameplay. But they can't do mid-league nerfs once the game comes out of early access, so those new broken builds that turn PoE2 into PoE1 will dominate for a league and all the pre-existing nerfs were for nothing. Will be interesting to see how this turns out. I'm expecting a bit of a cat and mouse chase for a few months but that's not a long term solution to game balance

[@DoNotFearTheReapa]

Chaining heralds is just broken and wasn't meant to be an interaction. That's why they specifically made them unable to apply their own ailments. There is no other builds that clear like herald builds. Even things that touch the whole screen don't wipe it like this. Also with the herald setup you don't even have to sacrifice any damage on your main skill. So yeah, it's EXTREMELY broken, and it IS a problem lol.

[@hexcaster7718]

Hi Mathil, are you able to say if shock counts as increased damage or more damage in poe 2?

[@0mnishade]

In most cases shock will be a multiplier to your damage, so it is effectively "more". *Technically* it is "increased damage taken" applied to the enemy, which means it is additive with other sources of "increased damage taken" (such as a second shock or the intimidate debuff). However, most builds don't apply enough of this type of debuff for the distinction between "more damage taken" and "increased damage taken" to be relevant.

Why are they using, for example, 25% cold damage and reducing 50% fire damage on an Explosive Shot that converts everything to fire? Can someone summarize how these combinations actually work?

[@DJcs187]

From what I understand, the current trend is for heralds of frost and storm to chain off of each other by proccing the other's ailment, which leads to 2 screens exploding by chain reaction.

[@ancientspark375]

The idea is to get your Herald of Thunder and Herald of Ice to trigger each other, which causes a chain reaction of AoEs. Herald of Thunder cannot trigger Shock (or else it would self propagate by itself), so you get Herald of Ice to trigger Shock, and vice versa for Chill. Both Heralds get the opposing elemental type of damage from the Quiver as they count as attacks. As for elemental vs phys damage, it doesn't matter. Most of the tree is generic damage anyway, and the skills have % damage effectiveness, so it will multiply added elemental DPS or base Phys DPS the same anyway (regardless of conversion).

I understand though, GGG has to nerf the top end of builds to get everyone to play something else and test more stuff. If they were too scared to nerf things because some people start foaming at the mouth when they do, the game would be completely cooked.

There's a good guy using spiral volley

How important is the flat cold damage, I just whipped this up and Im not getting the pop consistently I have like 24% crit and ~640 crit dmg with what I have, less flat cold than you though

[@EmodChannelClassics]

I think monk of chayula is a terrible ascendancy from reasons you said but looks great on another ascendancy for sure.

[@selenang2006]

Well at least i caught on to polcir right on the first day, it was my first unique drop.

[@YM-ex8hh]

Can warrior use this ring?

[@mrsrandommademedoit3387]

Yea that seems fine... dont see a problem here :D i love it!

[@krusig7467]

How expensive is this build

[@JaguarGames1337]

HAVE U NOT SEEN BLINK ARCHMAGE???

[@Buggolious]

yea but that's with temporalis

[@jasonfortin773]

Mathil doesnt have that budget lol

[@Olixer109]

I really like this build but I'm definitely waiting for next patch before I try something new haha

[@ckay2900]

Is this possible for ranger too? I guess you won't get as much crit and suck at single target dmg but it should work for aoe grinding on ranger too right?

[@onesolopolo4194]

It’ll work better than this on just about anything.

[@ezet]

Ranger would be better than this. Like Mathil said, Chonk doesn't do anything special here. Any class + ascendancy combo works really

[@nurukamel3400]

On my setup you always have max frenzy's every volley, check it :)

[@badongos9464]

Hoarding currency for the next build after in prep for the nerf firing squad

[@MrRaja]

If HoT(Freezing) + HoI(Shocking) is the ring even needed at that point?

[@Hazzo88]

you do not need it, and mathil needs to delete this video before i have to reroll

[@tribalwarfair3221]

I use sprial volley/ rain of arrows with a chayula monk and void reach quiver. Hilarity ensues.
