[Jermu]

done about 40 Tlvl82 maps hoping to find lvl 20 skill gem but no luck

then random ritual:

so far I would rank map events from tablets irradiated(for xp/higher lvl gems)>breach>delirium>ritual>expedition

How much dex is reasonable for a warrior by end game?

I'm wondering how you would even accommodate Giant's Blood strength requirements considering I still miss even at 100% accuracy. I think you'd need at least 300 strength to accommodate a 2 hander with 3x strength requirements late game, which is a hefty budget.

Actually, I just realized, there is a node for accuracy rating based on strength, but it's weirdly deeply nested in the ranger or merc tree. I wonder if it would make more sense to spec into the node to make evasion impossible in favor of losing crits.

Until you get good gear you just pick resolute tehnique node.

Does it say 100% / 100% or 100% and less than 100% in the 'hit against evasive monsters' column?

He said he misses with 100% accuracy (unless he means the ranged part of sunder which has some sort of accuracy tapering off with distance), it's probably something else than simply missing according to the game rules (positioning / rubberbanding maybe?). I remember I was consistently missing with boneshatter while leveling and believed it to be positioning errors on my part, but then they've said it was a bug (and I've dropped boneshatter at that time so couldn't really check)

Into cruel now with my SSF Titan and I just love the feeling of the class. The big FUCK YOU swings, the Perfect Strike heavy stuns that punch the mob into the ground and so on - I have honestly not played a melee character as fun as this since Dark Souls 1 strength build.

With that said, Stampede and Leap are clunky. I think it's because they have some sort of wind down timer that basically freeze your character in place. The smoothest heavy stun primer to play is still Rolling Slam.

After the armor explode nerf I'll try to build towards stampede>ignite and see how that goes.

There's some weird interaction with hitboxes and swing angles. It's especially obvious for Perfect Strike or against small shitty mobs.

As for STR stacking it's not that bad. I have almost 300 at level 48.

But this does need STR on gear which pretty much pushes you into Resolute Technique at least early on before you can get some really juicy gear.

they made naked models. Just found out that if you stand in acidic cloud while wearing ghostwrithe - your armor becomes fully transparent

 

[lukaszek]

speaking of ghost writhe, if you take CI, you gain ES from life before your life becomes 1. I wonder if it will be same for infernalist life reservation? Demon Stitchers do not kill you while you have CI, you just dont gain ES per cast

I saw a unique item with giant's blood, but that one had a 2x not 3x requirement I believe.

I've finally got my Essence Drain Infernalist into maps and it is a pain due to low damage of this crap skill. I respeced out of Demon Form because it is also a cancer gameplay of needing to rush everything because your life always keeps ticking down and you upkeep it by getting life on kills and getting charges for your life flask (and very good gear but for that you need trade and I am not trading for gear yet). Then I also respeced out of MoM and EB as you are so often without mana because everyone hits like a truck and it is not fun to always fuck with that around while dodging shit. So now I just picked up % of damage goes into mana instead of life nodes (got 24% for now, 34% is most you can get from the tree but that node is kind of far away) and still using node that gives me 3% inc spell damage per 100 mana. Got the 53% increased Chaos damage node and damage increase is noticeable but that node also reduces your ES by 3% every time I cast a chaos spell which also stops ES regeneration so basically I am out of ES most of the time as soon as combat lasts longer than 10s even if I am not getting hit.
As a result I got 1300 life, 1100 mana, 800 ES (that is often 0 instead) and around 30% dodge. I am using Withering Presence, SRS (for Maim, Envenom and bonus damage that I lack) and Frost armor with freezing supports (for those that manage to hit me in melee) for Buffs.
For DPS I got Firewall to summon SRS and put enemies on fire so a damage support for ED can boost it (tried to use just Fire Dog but his ignite aura is short range), ED with 2 damage supports and Chain and Contagion with Unleash and Hinder and Chaotic Freeze. Wither Totem with withering support to help kill rares and uniques faster (for normal enemies Withering Presence it usually enough) and Curse that reduces enemy chaos res for boss battles or rares with regenerating life feature (as normal dps cannot outdamage that shit..)
And Bone Cage with bonus damage and bonus pinning support so I can stop melee enemies that do not jump but walk towards me.

I got a +3 all spell skills and 75% inc spell damage wand and ES shield that gives me a bunch of mana and increased fire damage. Since I am not trading I consider this good. I waited for both of these to drop before I removed Demon Form.

This below video is good show how bad ED is, this is before ED buff but considering he has a 5l and bigger level ED skill gem his kill speed for this boss is about same as mine now after the "buff". Lol 33% damage only buff.
