Yea. It is very strong. Enjoy it until GGG changes it. Id prefer not to take advantage of a mechanic that 99.9% likely wasnt meant ro be abused like that. Thanks.

@PartTimeExile what mechanic wasn't supposed to be used like that? Everything I had is legit and nothing is game breaking??

GGG doesnt like when something can be used to near infinite scaling with minimal investment. Judging by how the 2nd Ascendancy Node after Demon Form sets Demon Form to Max 10 Stacks its probably a 99.9% chance Demon form isnt meant to be sustained the way it currently is. Most likely it will be different in the future.

The 100% chance is just 100% of base chance added right?

@@TheFablekid if u have 15% ignite chance it goes to 30%. You only get 15% when u meet the max ailment power threshold ( aka u need to hit hard enough to get max benefit ).

Buuut 😅 i think a 4 div original sin would give you soo much DMG.... You can scale all DMG types and due to the Ring you also Set there res to 0... Means due to the conversion and the 0 res you Hits schould bei big enough 😅 and for my taste i would Go ci Mom and and lets say 15-20 % Chance to poison and slap on that Aura wich makes you highest poison DMG spread.... A few Mana on kill jewels and done..... Sounds complex but should Work way better in my Option.... Now i think, i Level a new char too If i think about that

@@derdude6311 That has nothing to do with ignite or blackflame being bugged.

Original sin builds are tras, poison is trash in 99% cases h​@@derdude6311

Sorry, im not too sure. Maybe recoup/regen so the damage taken from Pyro Pact isnt as severe. Otherwise im assuming just mana regen and higher mana pool.

Tree is blank for me.

Original Sin would Help you Just for 3-4 div 😅 that way you have way less pressure to scale DMG downside with that Ring you should be ci But still nice video😊 there are way to less DOT builds Out there atm😢

Yea. That is strange. Maybe I can make an actual Fire boi one day. Im assuming the reasoning is the fire spells just dont so enough dps or ignite doesnt seem to work as well as anticipated.

Yea. It is unfortunate. Its crazy how terrible it felt compared to PoE 1. Having Contagion affect only one monster with terrible targeting made a huge difference.

@@PartTimeExile I'm sure they'll rework it, cause there is no reason they leave it in that state. A staple archetype that's missing atm.

Complaining about a complainer? Sorry, toxic positivity isnt my strong suit. When PoE 1 solved basically all problems of ARPGs they decided to take all the bad components of PoE 1 , D2, and Last Epoch and make PoE 2. Again, all these problems were solved in current PoE 1 why make the same mistakes that PoE 1 had 12 years ago when it was in its infancy?

Thats cuz in PoE 1 Hexblast does damage to non cursed targets. Why bother use the same gem name and it does something else entirely?

=)

I actually speccd into those regen nodes also later on when i realized each blast is about 180 mana. Lol

Most likely a bug. Spell Echo doesnt work with Hexblast most likely because it seems to only do dps to enemies that are cursed. Hexblast removes the curse so the 'Echo' or repeat of the spell wont work. Unless you can double curse the enemy the spell echo wont trigger.

@@PartTimeExile I double curse with Whispers of doom but still it wont trigger

Yea. Might be a bug then. Sorry man

Sorry. The character was respecd into the Hexblast char im playing now. Most of the gear is upgraded from tgis character.

Because lots of problems. If the game was smoother then it would be no biggie but currently they sold the game to 90% of the population for $30. If it it was a legit free early access for a few weeks then it would be okay so i wouldnt complain. As it stands, complaints should be heard.

@@PartTimeExile I can agree that complaints about a game need to be heard, especially legitimate ones that can effect how someone will experience the game, but there are better ways of doing it. The reason complaints from other creators seem to resonate more is because they point out a problem and provide positive feedback instilling the fact that they WANT to the game to be great and love by the community. I understand you enjoyed and cared about the first game. But when you sit here and do nothing but crap all over this game, then the only image we have is that of a hater and your, likely valid, complaints aren't taken seriously because of it.

Thanks for valid criticism. Without criticism how can something improve?

Lol. In this video yea. The build currently has 77% Res. +2 Fire Res and AoE costs about 10 Ex so trying to get multiples is not cheap. The Dog lives a lot longer than expected and is up 70-80% of the time. Hes on Last Gasp now instead of Life theif. Feels good. Did you play with and without Cloak of Flame ever? Its a HUGE survive increase. It feels like you "think" u know what your talking about when you havnt expereinced it yet. Also, Im unsure what makes you think its a complete build?

@ I have actually. The increased survivability is ok without armor but nothing crazy. What makes me think it’s a complete build is you made a video showcasing a build and titled it hexblast infernalist blasts through maps when it actually doesn’t. And then proceeded to complain about literally everything you talked about. I’m unsure why you even play this game.

If you think 50% Phys reduction is 'okay' on a non armour build then i dont know what to tell you. To me thats an amazing defense along with doggo who was up 70% of the time. The build did blast through maps. It was on T13 maps when i did another vid but valid criticism came that asked me not to mostly be negative so im redoing the video and using a 99% (probably) unintended use of Demon Form interaction.

Lol. Thats the way I like it. 70 is the way to go.

Lol. Can you make me a vid guide without complaining? Its mostly valid points. Id wager 90% of the player population hasnt made it to maps. Act 1 and 2 were great. Act 3 was super iffy. Nothing like how it was in the Act playthrough which is a giant shame. Its called PoE 2 so why shouldnt it be compared to a game called PoE 1?

@@PartTimeExile because they have stated multiple times that it’s intended to have a much different feel than Poe 1 not just a continuation of that game which is made obvious by their decision to make new content for both games simultaneously.

But maps in PoE 2 dont feel much different than PoE 1 maps. One shots, off screen, trash AN mods coupled with worst map layouts. Again, Acts 1 and 2 were great where Act 3 was super iffy. The Game is fun. Criticism results in things getting done. Only positivity results in nothing improving. The new patch they announced will slightly improve the game. Looking forward to it.

@@PartTimeExile constructive criticism gets things done. Whining and complaining while offering no solutions gets you ignored

Lol. Im not a game designer. Gamers are notorious for providing awful solutions. However, they are great at finding flaws and annoyances. Current PoE 1 solved many ARPG blunders while PoE 2 decided to be the new coat of paint that is PoE 1 Ruthless mode as it plays exactly like PoE 1 mapping with 5 less portals.

I agree

Thank you for words of encouragement! I will do better. I made a followup vid but will redo it since its about 50% Negative. Thanks for letting me know =)

But thats the thing. I do like it. Its fun. I have a strange way of showing it

Interesting. Thanks for explanation. Maybe one day I will find a way to Ignite with Hexblast like PoE 1. Currently, the Doggo is on Last Breath and it lives about 70% of the time. Im unsure if the Buff of Doggo works with Last Breath but its around much longer now.

It can but the base Gem DPS numbers are very low and crit doesnt scale the DoT portion. Again, its possible but with low numbers better going for a different skill unless you really like Essence Drain

Its actually fun. I complain a lot but fruatration is what makes the game interesting. Personally, I wished they just worked to complete the Campaign because I rly enjoyed mosf of it and its blaringly obvious endgame was barely tested at all.

Could you tell me how you accelerated the regeneration of health so much, and whether you use any unique items? And also how do you protect yourself from physical damage, besides converting from ascendancy?

Ghostwrithe and Mings Heart Reduces Life and could also spec into Infernalist Node Beidats Hand to reserve life along for Energy Shield then just make sure to scale Flat Life Regen on items.

I believe GGG 99.9% most likely didnt design it to be played like that as the next node is Max Demonflame is 10. I typically dont enjoy going for things that seem like a mistake but I did regret not playing Explode Totem back in Crucible so I think ill try this. Thanks.

Show me.

@@PartTimeExile i should prob make new clips too with the new gear upgrades :)

Lol. No worries. I decided to be more positive since ppl said im too negative with PoE 2 so im going to use an unintended mechanic to blast through the game. Hopefully it works

Lol. What are u talking about. Skill sucks. Keep being delusional. Make a video and show me cuz i know u lying

Yea. If ppl like torture ED is perfect for them. Got some comments in other video saying ED feels good. Those losers and liars

Well... still one whole ascendancy left to be revealed eventually.

Honestly expected less jank. They delayed 3.26 for this - Thats the crazy thing. Granted, I am having fun now that I switched skills but still expected more.

Yea. Essence Drain needs 50/100% more Dps for it to be an actual skill. That being said I switched to a different Chaos skill and clear and dps feels much better than EDC.

this is what i saw too on mbxtreme channel i think, it looked ok

Yea. I really wanted Bloodmage but Essense Drain just isnt a good skill. Base Damage is pathetic. I switched Skills and I can actaully 1 Shot most White mobs and I only need to press 1 button. Feels great

@@PartTimeExile to what? should i keep investing time in my ED witch and maybe can reroll or what did you switch to?

Hexblast. Works well. Video should be coming tomorrow.

My man! Def needs like a base 50-100% more DPS Increase for it to feel decent. Otherwise, GG

Get bonestorm for some extra boss damage to start until you get to later levels where you get the extra chaos spells

Ive been plinking away with the chaos bolt auto attack while the dots tick lol. It's not excellent but it worked for my normal campaign. You can buff it's raw damage or you can add envenom + bursting plague onto it.

Until you get Effigy Totem Linked with Withering Touch DPS is a bit of a slog and when you get Despair in Act 3 (I think) DPS is okay throught the Campaign but... I dont know what GGG were thinking releasing such a trash skill that doesnt scale very well. Also, make sure to use the Tradesite to get a +3 wand with Spell or Chaos Damage.

@@PartTimeExile I just realized with some testing, that decreased skill durations are DPS neutral and damage negative for dots. I tested this for both Essence Drain and Contagion. The DPS does not increase but the duration decreases, meaning it's a straight up nerf to your damage output per cast. I'm not sure if they did this intentionally or not. Let's hope not. Thanks for the ideas. I figured Effigy Totem might be a major turning point. The colossus boss felt like a 20 minute fight. If it weren't for the adds it probably would have been longer since I got fully powered Contagions on him with some empowered zombies. I do have a chaos damage wand I bought from an NPC, but I wasn't able to get +skills on it. It's honestly just bosses that I have issues with. I clear trash so easily outside of the occasional giga rare with no corpses around.

The only abilities I used from character creation until I finished the campaign were: - Essence Drain - Swift Affliction | Chaos Mastery | Chain -- I only take Chain because it makes running through maps easy - Contagion - Hinder | Persistence | Arcane Tempo - Dark Effigy Totem - Withering Touch | Font of Blood | Acceleration - Despair - Impending Doom | Magnified Effect | Heightened Curse - Your weapon cast (I pick Sigil of Power, always) I don't use skeletons but earlier I had a weapon that provided them. I linked them with Meat Shield and Envenom. The entire build is basically just keeping your totem down and maintaining Contagion, Essence Drain and Despair on your target. I would be very shocked if any Cruel bosses have lasted more than 2 minutes while I roll around like an idiot. I took all damage nodes because there is 0 need for any recovery. You cast your dots and move. You should have plenty of downtime to react to any incoming damage. If you're struggling buy a staff with +Chaos skill levels and you will be set. I will link a passive tree later once I log back in. Edit: For my Blood Mage homies out there I would advise you to just spend the gold to get rid of your Ascendency points if you have no recovery. Once I basically "turned off" the Blood Mage Ascendency it was infinitely better.

Please dont unless you like pain. ED Contagion is trash and needs about a 50-100% more Base gem DPS Increase. I got to maps and I tilted so hard at how terrible it is.

Eseence Drain has Hit dps. Its more than the DoT dps

Sry for the late reply. Yea, thats why I didnt ascend. I couldnt get good enough sustain to maintain the life loss.

Sry for late reply. Essence Drain has Hit Dps which is more than the DoT itself

Sry for the late reply. ED/Con is bad. Dont play it. I struggled to finish the Campaign and it can barely do enough DPS for T1 White Maps.

Sry for the late reply. If youre still playing the build I hope you didnt ascend Bloodmage cuz its difficult to sustain the loss of HP. I put out a video detailing how bad ED is.

This ^

Sry for the late reply. I prefer the gem as the gem. Not needing to press additional buttons is a plus. Until you actually play the game pressing buttons is mandatory and pressing one less would have been nice.

@@PartTimeExile Agree. I feel you. I'm just saying that showing it all like PoE 1 is also bad for new players. They are experimenting I guess.
