POE 2 ~ Apex of the Moment Slow Tested 100% works

[@Rook986]

You can actually see an effect on the mob when they enter it; it's a shimmer similar to the energy shield rares, and only highlights them for a split second. It's a huge area, screen covering

[@Tony-gt6wd]

in the Black Chambers, act 3, there is a gunner mob, it s very slow at recharging his gun, if u use Apex next to him it s very clear it works

[@triptomic5440]

mobs near the edge of your screen have a noticeable visual effect when going in/out of its area, also when you learn bosses telegraphed moves then spec into Apex- youll notice the timing difference

[@Basedard]

well look at that...In game I would have never noticed this.

[@ferdidolan9187]

THANK YOU for testing this out!

[@ClownWorldGaming-sr6mz]

awesome, thanks for proving us wrong!

[@Basedard]

Thanks for giving me a video to make.

[@bradradb5076]

You can get a duration shield, think it's called anvil. makes your time freeze way longer. There are some chronomancers with 27s time freese. so basically turn off a boss.. but still gotta dps it. Im thinking this could be insane for hardcore

[@Basedard]

I haven't even BEGUN to start cooking I've barely made it to T13. But I have plans big plans for that.

[@GhostoftheTenthEye]

have you tested slow magnitutdes?

[@5hape5hift3r]

"they haven't tested it and i guess its our job" yes that's the point of early access.

[@ٴٴٴ-ظ4ذ]

Take ggg's D out your mouth and start thinking before typing next time, ty :)

[@Basedard]

Nope that's a side effect of early access. The point of early access to to collect revenue before the games finished.

@@Basedard I'm not really sure this logic applies to this specific game, sound though it may be. It truly is massive in scope and can use all the man hours in actual testing it can get.

[@Hooga89]

Good to see it works, but on a sidenote I can't really agree that the recoup for Chronomancer is *that* good considering you have to spend ascendancy points just to get PoE1's recoup. They would have to reduce it to over 2 seconds for it to be really good if you ask me.

[@Basedard]

POE POE 2. Recoup is way more powerful in poe 2 because of the limited regen options. But you are right it probably should be a little stronger the second node should have 15% life regeneration rate as well as making it 4 seconds.

[@Hooga89]

@@Basedard Okay maybe it's not fair to compare PoE1 to PoE2 1 for 1, but if you compare Chrono recoup to Infernalist Demonhound dmg taken first or Altered Flesh, Chrono is kind of a joke ascendancy. That said, I think Apex of the Moment with imp curse Temp Chains might be the strongest defense in the entire game for high end bossing so I think your video proved a good concept.

[@vieighnsche]

Can you please test Blasphemy + 2x curses (with "Whispers of Doom" at the top of passive tree), then test if HexBlast consumes both curses like in the skill video says.

[@BallBusta]

If you really want to see the difference, go to act 1 and run around with the wolves and rhoa.

[@thehazellator]

actually looks quite effective

[@OdinFriends-u6y]

Would you mind post ur builds seems kinda fun

[@Basedard]

I don't have the time to build it out until there is an app that can extract the build like Builder....But I've made a couple videos on this on my channel.

[@riddixdan5572]

now the question is, does it stack? what happens if you get full party with this passive?

[@Basedard]

Time Bandits stop all

[@МистерТвистер-н4я]

multiplicatively, and party get less effect per player

[@veritaseru]

Slows while only apply the strongest of any given type

[@LividAardvark3911]

Aight I concede, I guess it is.

[@Basedard]

you never know something actually works until you test it...GGG has had many none functioning things in their games for years before people notice.

[@Null_Experis]

This is more indicative of how this is a borderline useless ascendancy node. Ascendancy nodes should have more drastic and notable effects. If you need to run tests to tell if it's working or not, it's not a useful node.

[@Basedard]

I didn't need to run a test people in my chat were saying it was bugged so I figured I'd make a video so people can see it. I like the node and think its the strongest defense node in the game.
