Hi balor. Could you update your mobalitics link to this new version? the current link still shows ice strike and supports different from the ones you show in this video. Thanks
Thank you so much for explaining the distinction between "increased" and "to" critical damage bonus. I've been thinking about critical damage all wrong in this game and it's extremely relevant to my current Snipe character too.
I'm running stat stacker Invoker and using Tempest Flurry. My favorite part about this skill over Ice Strike is just how fast you *move* while using this skill with high APS. I'm currently at 13aps and it is far and away MUCH faster than just running with 30%+ movement speed boots. Honestly, it's just been super fun to play because of how zoomy it is. Feels a bit like cyclone. ^^
@johanolsson8382 you probably still want some at least. My current boots have 20% but only because I slammed it on. Turns out, buying boots without speed is much cheaper than with. 😆
I think the reason who others recomending Snipers Mark and my own reasons for considering for bossing is due to its abilty to generate power charges for us which would free up some spirit and a gem slot being used by Combat Frenzy.
I don't think Heft does anything on bell. I read that in poe2, if you convert all physical away, any increases to phys no longer work. I recommend slotting Immolate instead
Interesting ele dmg conversion but reducing the damage on the heralds by that much is not really a good solution imo. I kept polcirkeln and use my herald of thunder to electrocute and generate power charges this way (herald of thunder can't shock on its own anyway) of course also running herald of ice for the chains
While i personally dont intend to switch right now because im lazy, its a perfectly fine solution. 2 overlapping explosions is enough to 1 tap almost every rare I've run into, and more often than not they get hit by WAY more than 2. The levels of overkill in clear this build achieves is insane, it can take a small hit to herald damage without a problem if your gear is good enough.
Oh I do like Tempest Fury over Ice Strike. I get your reluctance over the lack of -jump-, BUT! Tempest feels like it has a very nice range to it. It also feels like a spear-jab!
Is it a bad idea to, instead of nerfing your heralds damage to do cold and electric damage, to put on the unique Painter gloves so all elemental damage is split between 3 elements now?
I switched to a more expensive + to crit dmg bonus and DPS went down I have 52% crit, will the DPS number reflect a higher crit dmg bonus? Went down from 50k to 40k because of the much lower DPS of the weapon
yeah, happened to me as well. the crit dmg bonus weapon(26% crit bonus) has 45 lower dps but I get a 12k dps loss because of it, so I'm not sure if crit bonus damage is all, if you lose a lot of flat dmg for it. The crit bonus is the go for if weps are comparable in flat dmg/atack speed
Because ideally you already have a ton of increased crit and should be well over 50%, a tiny bit more is not worth it vs a massive increase to herald of ice's area that is gonna cause way more overlaps and help you screen clear.

The first person to switch up the shock/freeze on these heralds was probably laughed at till they saw the results

The one death only mapping has got to be changed. Dying after killing the boss has happened to me a couple times now.

@@Gryphenprey you still want Ms on boots?

For levelling, there's a cheap unique helmet that ignites everything near you, makes the bell a lot better, dont need to find some flat fire on gear.
good for you that the very first skill the monk gets is a slam in fact. it can be supported by all the usual slammage. that means its good to go.
Balor said over 100 times at least "NEVER BRING A STICK INTO A GUN FIGHT"... There we go!
I also died to Jamanra like that. He dropped a raw div too. I rage quit for the night lol. GGG need to fix that modifier.
on death is straight evil
EDIT = Balormage updated the moba link as of Jan 1 2025 at 6pm PST
update Moba please. will remind you in stream as well :) x
YOU NEED TO UPDATE THE MOBA LINK ASAP
I tend to just swap to thunder wave skill to clear and swap gems for bosses the wave clear just feels to good to give up

I think I’m gonna play this next if it’s still good after the next major patch
What is the trade application that you use?
Is it a bad idea to, instead of nerfing your heralds damage to do cold and electric damage, to put on the unique Painter gloves so all elemental damage is split between 3 elements now?
Yeah it’s a bad idea. Glove slot is too good to waste.
Best intro ever balor! That was hilarious! 😂
there is 1 things that I don't understand, why does his life state that 1/4925, but mine shows 1/1
It’s weird. I swapped to your gem loadouts in this video and my dps in my tool tip dropped like 10k but I’m hitting way harder now on everything. Lol

Electrocute in the herald?
where can i get this filter?
could you run a weapon swap setup to go icey boi maps and shocky boi single target?
With an unset ring you could. I'm using ever avaliable skill.
Why do you go Doomsayer over Vulgar Methods?
Because ideally you already have a ton of increased crit and should be well over 50%, a tiny bit more is not worth it vs a massive increase to herald of ice's area that is gonna cause way more overlaps and help you screen clear.
@@APurpleSpyAllright thanks
Whats this helmet??
Can't wait to try this full swing, looks like so much fun! One question, is there a list of the ascendancy points order anywhere?
just putting it out there for you balor play shockwave totem as warrior
he cant..it has to specifically be a "mace strike" type of build..per his own rules lol
how 4.9k energy shield? cant seem to figure it out from your gear and tree
Mainly from Spectral Ward node in the tree.
Shame the keto diet didnt work out for you Balor
Want to sell me that ice strike on the low? 😅
@BalorMage on a serious note. How much would you recommend spending on the gloves and high quality ring?
