List of 1.3 NiceBuilds™

How To Make a Nicebuild™ VOD (Soon™)

2.0 The Awakening

The game has received a massive overhaul in terms of items, skill gems, new jewel system, monster damage, monster hp, maps, and new content. Thus, what constitutes a NiceBuild™ will be different than it's 1.3 predecessors. I'll make a list of NiceBuilds™ soon™.

I feel in SC 95% of all builds are viable now however in HC with monster damage changes + map changes there may be limited competitive build diversity.

OpieOP List
Might turn this into a Tier list later dunno.
- Melee (Sweep, Cyclone, Ice Crash, Reave, etc), Flameblast, Summoners, Curses, Incinerate, Poison Arrow, Flame Totems / Totems, Bow/KB with proper Reflect Solutions.
-Lightning Coil 5-10ex easily in HC (Cloak of Flame is a good cheap alternative)
-Taste of Hate Prices will skyrocket
-Grace
-New Flask Nodes in Ranger/Duelist

Notable Changes (WIP)
-Lockstep = No More Desync
-Act 4 Mobs deal significantly more damage than A1-3
-Monster damage has generally been buffed in Merciless and Maps
-Can no longer rely on CWDT for Physical Immunity
-Reduced Mana no longer effects auras where as Enlighten does. Many auras have new reservation %.
-Heralds have been reduced in potency & anger + wrath now affect spells.
-Melee skills can be linked with a new "Fortify" support gem that gives 20% reduction too ALL damage (applies after armour for physical damage) for a short duration
-Rebalanced Uniques
-Leech Changes. Life Leech Gem 2% Leech at all Levels, level and quality only buff leech rate. Doryani's Catalyst and Invitation now provide 0.2% Leech
-Reflect is no Longer an Aura and reflects both Physical and Elemental Damage. This can also spawn on "Thornflesh" Magic Mobs which means every single mob in that pack will have Reflect.
-New Item Mods
-Changes too Map Drops. This is huge since they want you to alch + chaos your maps for hard mods which will usually limit build diversity in HC as opposed to alt + regaling where you can avoid damage mods. Top Tier builds will need to be able too run many dangerous cominbations.
-Eldritch Battery no longer converts ES to Mana but puts energy shield over your mana

If you feel I've missed anything just post in the thread or send me a PM via PoE Forums/In Game/Twitch
