[3.24] 🗡The Nightblade🗡Nightshade Tincture | Incorporeal | New demo video up

Second good news for us !

https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/h0m0h8/check_out_a_new_passive_skill_cluster_by_the_way/



A total of 45% inc Elusive effect = +7% chance to dodge atk and spells ! Will be much easier to cap both at 75% :)

And as they introduce a new oil, we can now anoint any notable on the tree.
It's a good time to think about Panopticon again : 50% inc effect of Ancestral totems.
It's conditional because you gotta raise the ancestral boys, but that's the best notable for us, even better than Nightstalker.
Because Warchief will now give you 27% more melee dmg (instead of 18) and the Protector will grant 30% more atk speed (instead of 20).
Total : 1.27*1.3 = 1.65 = 65% more dmg !

Do the totems feel Assassin ? Absolutely not.
Are they fun to play ? 110%.

*

Btw, if you haven't tried that yet, you should use a Sextant with no Soul Gain Prevention. It means you can do the whole map with Vaal Warchief slamming everything from beginning to start. You will truly leave... no witnesses ;)
I might do a video with it in 3.11.

Damn, just when I was ready to give Wolcen a second try (I was literally updating the game when I read the news), you've hooked me up again, GGG.

Here is my last video for Delirium : this is a medley of five T16 Promenades, from 0% to 100% Delirious.

Do not expect any Herald-stacking level of zoom-zoom, though. It was hard, it was slow and I could die any moment. It definitely felt like old PoE.

Get ready, Exiles, it's time for :

#18 : The Last Stand

And as they'll say in Harvest, it's not much but it's honest work :D

See you in the Grove, Exiles !

After the buffs to defenses, now the nerfs to attacks :
https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2873295

"

The Physical Damage multiplier when Dual Wielding has been removed.

This is a loss of "20% more phys dmg while DW-ing".

"

Critical Strike Multiplier values have been lowered from almost every passive, as well as from some items

Ooch, that hurts.

On the other hand, it's time to seriously consider the Warcries.
https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2870970

Two are good for us :
- Enduring Cry
and/or
- Intimidating Cry

*

In the first msg, I have updated the infos about Wind Dancer and removed some other outdated infos.

Another bad nerf from Patch notes :
https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2873767

Hex Breaker no longer makes us immune to curse while channelling, but rather removes a Curse after Channelling for 2 seconds.
I will not consider it mandatory in my recommandations now.

Precise Focus loses some crit multi : from +30% to +20%.

There will be 5 new Conquered Keystones from the Timeless jewels :
The Traitor, Supreme Ostentation, Chainbreaker, Transcendence, Immortal Ambition

Is there one for us ? We don't know yet their effects. But ofc, there is one that feels very Assassin.

Like all the other "Supreme" Keystones, Supreme Ostentation will come from the Elegant Hubris jewel.
Chainbreaker is of course Karui, so it's from Lethal Pride.
Transcendence can only come with the Militant Faith jewel.
Immortal Ambition feels very Vaal, so it's from the Glorious Vanity jewel.

So for our Brutal Restraint jewel, that leaves : The Traitor, and I can't wait to see what it is :D

*

I've just simulated the new 3.11 tree with Pob/Fork : https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/hahpab/view_new_tree_in_pob/

A net loss of 15% DPS.
*cringes*

Nightstalker loses its 40% inc crit chance. Instead grants 25% inc Elusive effect. Great !

Total increased Elusive effect :
- Mistwalker Ascendancy : 25%
- No Witnesses cluster on the tree : 45%
- Nightstalker : 25%
- Nightblade support : 30% with a level 21. (28% at level 20)
= 125%
= 33% attack and spell dodge (39% with Withering Steps)

With Acro and Phase Acro :
- 73% attack dodge
- 63% spell dodge

Haha, didn't have to wait for too long, as it's just been revealed by Bex on Reddit :



Well, that's surprising, and challenging.
I guess that's what we expect from a keystone in general :)

If you use only one flask, it will gain 16 charges every 5sec.
If you use two flasks, they will gain 6 charges each every 5 sec.

Thing is, you can choose one flask for farming, then swap another for boss. Each will be quickly filled anyway.

Definitely need to try it and choose the flask(s) carefully. I've never liked the flask piano anyway, seems a clever solution.

Would you say the Wind Dancer beta variant is doable in HC? If including warcries, where would you put them in the gem setups?

It's #2 on my build start list to check out tomorrow :)

Well, I'd definitely take Wind Dancer in HC, ofc.

For the Warcry, I'd get Enduring for sure. Put in on a weapon, you can remove Smoke Mine and keep the Inc Aoe, why not. Or add Intimidating Cry.
Also, I'd spend 3pts to get +1 End Charge from Vigour.

Good luck to you, especially in HC, which I've never played :)

But I may go full-SSF this league, with all the crafting options that are announced to be broken.

Here is the tree I'm gonna test in 3.11 Standard :



- New path to the Elusive cluster.
- I've just noticed an interesting new cluster, Versatile Stance : 25% inc AoE in Sand Stance, 45% inc dmg in Blood Stance.
More like a luxury probably, but I want to test it.
This region of the duelist offers a lot of alternative notables : Frenzy charge, Endurance charge, elem res, Charging Offensive etc.

- Iron Grip will be used for a Conquered Keystone. There are more nodes in radius here than around the socket near Point Blank.

Hey, Im completely new to PoE and I'm going to try this build for the new league. Anyone able to direct me to what I should prioritize in terms of items when clearing through the acts for the first time?

Just stick with what is mentioned in the guide?

Yes, you can read the League Start and Levelling sections to find some advice to begin.
Hope you like the game and the build ;)

I have myself begun the league in solo-self found, so I'll post some advice in the next days. I'll play very slowly.

My first advice would be to use Cobra Lash for starter, then go to the Grove and harvest seeds that give physical modifiers.
I have used

"

Tier 1
Wild Hellion Seed
Reveals a random Physical modifier crafting effect when Harvested

Reforge a Normal or Magic item as a Rare item with random modifiers, including a Physical modifier

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2874544

I put it on a dagger and got this :


Very nice to begin with.
Then get Dash for movement, and some mana / mana regen on amulet or rings.

*

Also, I couldn't wait to play in Standard.
And... here is my first video for 3.11 !

Watch your back, Exiles, because now I am :

#1: The Traitor

An introduction to this new Keystone, then the Minotaur fight.

Hope you like :)
