The builds we had tonight were:
- Glass Cannon Flameblaster
- Glass Cannon Lightning Arrow
- Glass Cannon Fireballer
- Degen Lacerator (Match #1)
- Zerphi's Last Breath/Scold's/Molten Shell (whatever it is shin plays)
- Wormblaster
- EarthQuake (Match #2)


It was a lot of fun.


If you guys wanna try it out, just add the regulars as friends.

Argh, I was busy tonight so I couldn't get in on the funtimes... Sadness.

I don't think Jorge's "glass" Flameblast though. PvP oneshots just make him and most other people look that way.

What time do these usually take place? I always seem to miss them.

Wish there were some EU hlders active..

pvp meta... aka whose commandment of winter one shots before.

or pvp meta... aka whose unblockable aoe explosions kill before other.

no thanks. : )

damn in time i became toxic pvp player who whines and complains too. i kinda accept everything except commandment of winter. even EA is ok in my terms. maybe i should make a HoT build or EA build and masturbate my ego ith the idea that im better than others.

Welcome to the club. Why bother theorycrafting interesting builds when you can just stack as much aoe and cast speed/attack speed as you can on a skill using secondary damages and blast everything away.

Cool for those guys if they have fun tho.

Great job getting content out there! Upvoted and commented on reddit

Music is from this movie, which is amazing:

If you accept EA, then there should be no complaints about fireball seeing as I need my entire tree to be investment in damage to do similar damage to EA.

well entire tree invested or 30% it doesnt matter. i feel like pvp is far more unplayable than ever before. thats all i can say.

any aoe explosion secondary is king now. Lib's 4Link Arctic breath with dying sun hits for 3-5k life without any damage investment further than ele focus + GMP + BCR. talking about fireball, entire screen can get filled with some unblockable spell aoe and that makes me want to puke tbh. its not a contempt feeling towards the user, its a contempt towards how useless poe pvp become. LA was broken and disgusting in pvp scene but it was at least dodgable, blockable. i blame no one, i feel the joy of dominating others with the privilege you can have. enjoy it. i did it too in the past.

this doesnt change the fact that what poe pvp become. its like... who stacked more damage on unblockable mechanics now.

i have no problem though, more power and glory to those people.

yea Ea need a wall or high ground in sarn but FB get aoe explosion in any case once the right distance is achieved.

Also crit ea can be countered in many ways to at least survive the attack. Crit burn can be countered with ashren for exemple.


Fireball is just plain DPS preventing any defense if you are not full block.

THis is quite bad with overlapse and now when I see a fireballer I just quit the arena, when I had no prob with ea players because they at least have some limitations in sarn.

The skill is nice but the full aoe screen is retarded and prevent interesting fights if you use "regular" skills with minimum aoe or short range.

The only way I found to trick a fireballer is to use a smoke mine and pop it to appear right behind him , that is to say if he did not rekt the mine with his aoe previously.

LA was as bad but at least it did not puke all the screen with orange vomit.

COncerning the 3v3 it look fun when all the builds are like that for sure.

That FB mtx is the worst part honestly, it covers much more than the base effect, and makes so much unnecessary lag.
