can someone put out why the old version is not playable anymore?


Looking at POB, using the old tree, I seem to have the same life, with about a 4% DPS loss (873K -> 840K). I haven't committed these changes yet, so can't say if things play the same. I'm just waiting and reading to see how things progress.
So i just switched from this {https://pastebin.com/E4beZZP8}(kinda ignoring the 3.6 patch and not really doing any changes) to this one {https://pastebin.com/xUUszvtL}(running energy leach on stormbrand instead of increased duration, golems with decoy, cwdt+ic, arc as the current guide)

my highest maps were t10 in 3.5 (didn't have the time to go higher), and now, as the tool tip and pob suggests, my dps came from 550k to 100k. even though pob must not be calculating the unleashed and mana leech correctly, i completely feel the difference in bosses.

i don't have any problem with survivability or clearing the trash and the boss dies, but it takes noticeably longer. is that the reason you put in the trap, or am i doing something wrong?

ps: i didnt go all out on changing gear so my ES is pretty low, just changed the essence worm and helmet. currently thinking about buying the gems and use the hungry loop for the trap
If people feel WB is too slow and clunky with the decrease in attack speed this go around, we could always grab the new Dark Pact and use FD and Phase Run. By picking up Dark Pact we grab 30% cooldown reduction.

Hi all,

I managed to get lucky enough to roll this shadowstich playing SSF, with +2 to duration gems (thus affecting arc as long as its vaal'd). I'm playing a slight variation of this build (flame dash only movement skill, using a shield instead of dual wield).

2 questions:
- How does that chest compare to inpulsa's and is it worth still chasing it with chance orbs?
- What recommended gem setup to run with 3B/2G/1R? Haven't got spare vaal orbs to keep rerolling it just yet. I have empower (level 2) available for the red slot but just unsure which 2 blue support gems and 2 green supports are best to run.

Awesome build as always Enki and blasting through with it. Went level 66 to 84 yesterday without a single death!

Edit: nevermind - got it to roll 4b/1g/1r so running it now w/ unleash, echo, leech, hypo, and empower.

Still curious if it'll be worth me burning chances to chase an inpulsa's though.
I wouldn’t bother chasing Inpulsa’s in SSF. You could spend thousands of chance orbs and never see it, and it serves little more purpose than increasing clear speed.

Hey im still pretty new to path of exile but ive been playing this build for a bit this league and im a bit confused as why i should go for energy shield rolls on my gear like it says in the guide. if im not mistaken it doesnt do anything but act as our mana source but i it regens faster than i can spend it, so i dont see why i need more of it.

i am new to the game, so i am probably missing some key fact as to why we go for it but any clarification would be great. thanks!

It still is playble. I just tested it myself in Standard today with my Enki's from 3.5.

There are just two wheels in the Skill tree where there've been changes from what I saw and they didn't cripple the build or anything.

It still felt good to play and from what I remember, at least the tooltip dps are not significantly lower than what they were. You also barely notice the Arc chain distance nerf in my opinion.

How is survivability suppose to work in the build? I have almost 3k life and around 1200 ES. I have the eldritch battery and mind over matter. I have full resistances and Paragon of Calamity. I'm still getting one shot by some of the T2 Map Bosses.


I also have the feeling that it's quite a bit more squishy than the old build tbh. But that might just be subjective. Been a few months already. I'm at 2.8k life and 1k ES and just hit the atlas and I'm struggling with tier 1+2 bosses as well (and the stupidly 'balanced' syndicate members of course). On the other hand, I have the shittiest gear imaginable and I'm missing the Cwdt-setup that Enki added now. I guess that's the main reason why it feels so squishy.

Reread the mechanics section of the guide, specifically Mind Over Matter.
Hello! I am using this build while I play with some friends in the standard league (we can't play together often). We were up to act 10 when the new league started and the build guide updated. My question is should I try changing my character with the passive skill reset to the updated version (and try find new gear etc) or is it too late and I should stay with the old version?

On another note, I am trying the new updated version on the new synthesis league by myself and am pretty excited to play. Thank you for the really great guide. It has really helped me and I love the detailed, levelling section.
Hey,

Im really new to PoE this will be my first league. Can i ask why the guide takes a chunk of minion damage nodes?

Im around level 45 and just wondered what exactly its boosting when i mainly spam brand and arc, the trapsetup on bosses.

Thanks

Look up the node called "Spiritual Aid" on the passive tree.

"Increases and Reductions to Minion Damage also affect you".
