this new (to me) movement skill recovery. What kind of build actually relies on lowering that? Flicker strike without frenzy charges?

Blink/mirror arrow is a movement skill.

It's also a minion skill.

The tower defence is more fun than I thought. The towers seem a bit poorly balanced though, cold=minion > all else > seismic

It's actually a nice benefit with flicker strike, because it's 'free' cooldown that doesn't expend a charges keeps going as you use it, so it's like getting a frenzy charge every time the CD comes up. Helps a lot when you're right on the edge for sustaining it.

Can't play blighted map, which by the way seem to be the best content in this league, vaal skelies get like 5fps and then just get disconnected. Guess they want me to destroy content with mines instead of playing around with the dumb towers.

Mine spam will crash a blighted map as surely as minion spam. Don't get your hopes up, hoard blighted maps until GGG fixes them.

If I don't insta-annihilate mobs I'll crash even with 5 blight portals.

:hmmm:

Tower defense.

Bad news - there will be no 4.0 after 3.9.0, GGG started new numeration system for their leagues
https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2636800
it was mentioned previously? At least that's what Chris said

As you know, we release new expansions (which contain challenge leagues, balance changes and new game features) every 13 weeks. We do not expect to vary this timeline in the near future, so over the next year we're roughly looking at:
  • Early December 2019: 3.9.0 Expansion (announced at ExileCon in November)
  • Early March 2020: 3.10.0 Expansion (announced in February)
  • Early June 2020: 3.11.0 Expansion (announced in May)
  • Early September 2020: 3.12.0 Expansion (announced in August)
  • And so on, with new expansions every 13 weeks until 4.0.0 is ready

Well, if 4.0 is meant to be their Diablo-killer, guess they're not expecting Diablo 4 in 2020.

I'm having great time with zombie&skeleton summoner. Feeding frenzy coupled with dashing skeletons is nuts. I'm off screening beyond uniques O_o

Edit: 16.09.2019
So Arakaali's Fang dropped yesterday night for my summoner. I was already offscreening yellow tier maps and now I'm death incarnate.

Yea, I've finally got around to playing a pretty uninspired summoner build and Feeding Frenzy 'dash' (which is undocumented, btw, and was a very pleasant surpise) turn skeletons into Flashes. Summoners were ok, if a bit slow before - now they are ridiculously OP if you ask me.
I think stats of summons should be toned down a bit... after I'll finally be able to see some high-tier content on my SFF summoner, that is :).

Btw, do Arakaali's Fang spiders trigger on minion kills?

You could for a long time have zoom zoom zombies afk shaper I did it with queens's sword it was just harder to setup because of life and resists now the minions don't die and have the same dps with shit I picked of the floor no idea how they'll nerf it without removing gems or nerfing shit to a 1/10th of what it is now.

Admittedly, to have to skimp on your own survivability somewhat to get truly immortal, boss-melting minions, but with partially 'unnerfed' Mistress of Sacrifice you can cover much of that with bone offering (life) or spirit offering (hybrid).

By the way, I've been reading on stormblast mines and it seems like a great bossing (and Blight lanes) support in conjunction with minefield support - just disregard the damage and focus on 'increased damage taken' part. But do we still have maximum limit of 5 mines sans modifiers?

EDIT: Ok, from patch notes:
You can now have up to 15 mines active at once by default (from 5).
Combined with Destructive apparatus allocated by anointed item, it may be a rather interesting mechanic... provided there is a need to boost damage further, that is :(.

Nope you need to get the kill. I already was using smite and can easly kill white mobs. But you need corpeses to summon spiders, each corpse summons 2 up to 20.
Them little fuckers obliterate everything in their path.

They'll just drop damage and base health by 50%.

Undocumented, eh?

please, its like a 3rd sentence. Who would read skill desc that far

Lol, I guess I've failed my perception check. Likely because it was not stated in change logs (unless I've failed an other check) and did not reread skill description that I was otherwise quite familiar with...

Anyway, 'bold and dashing' property is unique to skeletons, and I was looking for it in Feeding Frenzy skill description.

Talking of 'more damage that we likely never need' - triad grip gloves look extremely tempting, even moreso with a combination of white sockets and 'withering touch support'.
But does 'added damage' (like Unholy might/Spirit Offering) work off 'unconverted' physical damage? It should, but things might have changed.
