I haven't tried it yet, but I guess it could work if you didn't use mana for your abilities. 30% reduced damage is a lot after all. If you do, it'll be a terrible inconvenience because you'll always be out of mana to cast. With my ranger build, I run Clarity plus Grace (with reduced mana) and still have enough mana left to cast, and I don't even need to carry mana flasks with me.
Edit: thanks for the invite to the guild guys =D
I'm not at home to pore over the map, but what can I do to make my traps stronger? Most of my attacks have a DPS rating of around 120, but my fire trap is stuck with just 15. And it's not underleved in comparison to the other jewels, I've been using it for a long time now. Are they supposed to be that weak?

Here's a simple optimization suggestion - Grab the Intelligence node left of Unnatural Calm and then buy back the points from the 2 +8% Health nodes on the left side of that nearby cluster. Then use those 2 reclaimed points to get Purity of Flesh (it's near Static Blows). That'll get you a net gain of +10% Health, +8% Chaos Resist, and +10 Intelligence for only 1 point (plus 2 refund points).
Not sure but most of the stuff I see in the stash has been sitting in there for a long while.
I've been adding quite a lot to the stash - some other have too. I think take-one/leave-one is fair. Unless we end up with extremely valuable items moving through the stash, I don't think we should have much conflict.
I always put off learning to alt-f4 quickly on my somewhat new keyboard - and every time I die I swear I'm going take the time to figure it out. Most recently I had a function key activated which prevented me from exiting
Well, I ask because there is a pair of unique summoner boots in the stash and don't know if anyone is counting on them, or how much they are worth. I'm doing a summoner build right now (level 41) and I think they might be useful, although I could die and take them with me to standard too.
I do have another pair of boots right now (Shavronne's Pace) that I'm using and I think are more useful at the level I am at, so it's not like I absolutely need them. But I wouldn't want to take them and leave something like a coral ring in return
I've taken a few things but when I'm done with it I always put it back in. I also put all the rares I find and don't use in unless they really suck but had to sell some stuff there wasn't anymore space.

I'd say just grab them. I'm having to throw away rares cause there's no more room in the guild stash

Time to break some builds.
NVM, I died
Probably going to reroll something other than summoner. De-sync strikes again!Doesn't seem to be much other than bug fixes. Glad they haven't nerfed Spectral throw yet.
Why would they nerf it?
They will. It shouldn't be shotgunning on the return path and it's crazy unlikely they'll keep it that way. If that's all they do it'll still be viable and good but wont be quite as overpowering.

It's infinitely stronger than Spectral throw right now but isn't as one button and doesn't really function until you get a good crit value so it hasn't hit fotm yet. Edit: Also its a high level build so dossnt help any of the hc folk or people just starting.
Probably the strongest single gem right now; made me change my scion trapper to incorporate more crit just so I could try out some things once I get one.
I'm not a crazy PoE min max type person so my impressions may be a little off but I think a large source of how it is too strong is how you can mod it. I have the damage of a 2 hander with an added fire mod and the % increases of projectile damage firing at a speed of my attack speed. Life on hit works with it and it hits mobs multiple times. It's the strongest build I've used yet. And it seems like almost everyone is using it.
Yeah. I expect the nerf soon. It will make me sad but it's expected. I'm guessing the str based 2h build version to get the bat which will completely invalidate my build but whatever. It's tons of fun creating new characters and crazy builds.
This is what I'm at with my ST Scion.

Gonna grab the remaining life nodes on the big wheel and the sword damage nodes near the Ranger tree.
Almost 1k ST dps, 1.5k Double Strike dps with nothing linked to it, Leap Slam for mobility and in case I get surrounded (all using Blood Magic gems). Mana almost completely reserved using Grace and Hatred with Reduced Mana. I have 38 mana or so left, enough to cast a low level Projectile Weakness, but I might switch it out for another curse eventually. Maybe Temporal Chains or Enfeeble.
Cast when Damage Taken is sooo good. I have it linked to Enduring Cry, Molthen Shell and a Rejuv Totem, which is good enough to distract enemies and keep both itself and me alive. I'm pretty sure it's saved my life several times already, but I think I'm playing much riskier too.
Nope. And there's no cast time, either. OP as fuck. Enjoy it while it lasts.
Oh I didn't think so.. but they have a mana cost multiplier according to the wiki.
Well fuck... no reason not to get detonate dead + cast on melee kill for my character.
Yeah, but I feel it's still kind of OP, especially for Cast when Damage Taken, which doesn't require a triggering skill. It just triggers the skills linked to it for free. At level 1, it triggers for every 440 damage taken, which is nothing. Totally bananas. Maybe they'll leave it this way to give melee characters more of an edge, but it could end up becoming "mandatory" in people's eyes and I don't think GGG would leave it un-nerfed in that case.
There used to be a skill called Phase Run which improved your run speed. Everybody was using it, since there was no reason not to use it. They replaced it with Quicksilver Flasks eventually, now Phase Run only shows up on some enemies, like the spectral dock workers in A3 Docks.

Yeah, it'll only trigger when you use the skill it's linked to.
That's a little more saddening.

who is Emo-Beas?
Wow Caligula is no joke. Almost died so many times trying to take him down and my lightning resist is %70 or so...
Really glad they are nerfing him. This was on normal btw.

Scion is very fun. I can imagine the developers having evil grins on their faces, anticipating people going all offense due to how crazy good the class is...only to die later. Right now I'm lv23 (Nemesis) and my armor/resistances are shit ha. I'll start working on it. My Double Strike dps (w/Added Fire DMG and Multistrike) is 260, which is crazy at this level.
My lv37 wand Templar (LMP Freezing Pulse/Fireball, and Fire Traps) is still trucking in Nemesis too.

Oh yes. A tiny patch takes like 5 minutes to install on an SSD. Hopefully they change how they apply patches in the future.

Thanks, but I died to a desync shortly after posting that
I don't think I'll make another one on Hardcore for a while so a brave soul can give them a go.

Just now hit 50 on my scion and killed cruel vaal. Feels like I havn't upgraded gear in like 30 levels due to gems and links but I'm owning everything and bosses quickly with 2k heavy strikes and machine gun spectral blades for crowd clearing.
How are you guys handling upgrades later on? Have to sacrifice sockets for stats?
