The Keystone Game
So here's the deal:
My internet connection is too weak tonight to actually play so i came up with a little game. The goal is to use this Random Number Generator to determine Keystones, with which to figure out a build. Set it between 1 and 23 and check the following list. Roll until you have 4 Keystones.
Keystones
1 = Acrobatics
2 = Ancestral Bond 3 = Arrow Dancing 4 = Avatar of Fire 5 = Blood Magic 6 = Chaos Inoculation 7 = Conduit 8 = Eldritch Battery 9 = Elemental Equilibrium 10 = Elemental Overload 11 = Ghost Reaver 12 = Iron Grip 13 = Iron Reflexes 14 = Mind Over Matter 15 = Minion Instability 16 = Necromantic Aegis 17 = Pain Attunement 18 = Phase Acrobatics 19 = Point Blank 20 = Resolute Technique 21 = Unwavering Stance 22 = Vaal Pact 23 = Zealot's Oath Keystones that rule each other out get rerolled. That includes:
Rerolls
Avatar of Fire - Elemental Equilibrium Resolute Technique - Elemental Overload Chaos Inoculation - Blood Magic/Eldritch Battery/Pain Attunement/Mind over Matter Unwavering Stance - Arrow Dancing Blood Magic - Mind over Matter/Eldritch Battery Vaal Pact - Zealot's Oath Acrobatics - Iron Reflexes/Chaos Inoculation optional Blood Magic - Zealot's Oath Next try to find a Skill and/or Build Enabler Unique that would make this somewhat playable. Maybe you're tired of meta builds and this may lead to your next personal hipster build. Let the games begin! Last edited by Scherge on Dec 6, 2016, 9:46:34 PM Last bumped on Dec 9, 2016, 10:26:41 AM

I got:
2 - Ancestral Bond 6 - Chaos Inoculation 21 - Unwavering Stance 18 - Phase Acrobatics. Rerolled this per the rules to: 10 - Elemental Overload. That's actually not bad as is. It's basically a standard Elemental Totem Build, as CI. The only odd thing is making the trek all the way to Unwavering Stance, but it's doable, and with an Energy From Within near Barbarism, the distance won't be entirely useless travel nodes. Call it a Flameblast Totem build and I will have duly succeeded in this round. - Sheepster |

I don't think I'll actually play what I roll (especially after SEEING my results... UGH) but I like the idea of the game so I'll share my results.
2 23 5 14 first set of rolls. So... Ancestral Bond (I HATE totem builds... let my character deal damage, not sticks that he pushes out of the ground through automatic strikes!!!) Zealot's Oath Blood Magic Mind over Matter Nice, BM-MoM is a reroll. Let's see... 10 Elemental Overload. Hmmm...... ES-based Explosive Arrow, you say? That could be interesting. With totems, no less... Need game info? Check out the Wiki at: https://www.poewiki.net/

@ Nssheepster:
Wow, you actually got really good ones! @ adghar: With BM and zealot's oath wouldn't it be possible to make something lowlife? I was afk for a while and rolled for myself just now... 11 = Ghost Reaver 17 = Pain Attunement 10 = Elemental Overload 13 = Iron Reflexes The spell leech split is kinda bothering. Aside from the support or warlords i think cospri's malice could do the trick. Or just some linked to leech ice spear elementalist. Last edited by Scherge on Dec 6, 2016, 7:07:08 PM

@Scherge
Iron Reflexes kinda makes your build a bit strained. Maybe a LL Aegis Build could use all your stuff? Armor, ES, and then Pain Attunement and LL to make up for the damage you'd be lacking after straddling the tree so far. @Adghar RAT with EA could do well yeah. Maybe add Eldritch Battery Keystone to all that, and use Ascendant Trickster. 20% More Evasion would be nice. Hard to say with yours. Maybe BM and ZO should be a reroll...There's really no good use for that AFAIK. - Sheepster |

8 Eldritch battery
13 Iron Reflexes 23 Zealot's oath 15 Minion instability Uh boy, that looks... different somehow. Different good, different bad it's too early to say that. Starting build creation protocol... Initiating full force bullsh*t mode... So here's the tree I came up with

As for the items... Umbilicus Immortalis Coruscating Elixir Rumi's The surrender The Scourge Something with leech FUL FORCE BULLSHIT, THUS THE OBVIOUS CHOICE HERE: Bringer of rain Rainbowstride The Anvil That will be... one mess of a build. But it sounds fun :D Edit: I'll need a lot of dex from jewelry... but f*ck it, for the lulz. The surrender will have vengeance, riposte and life gain on hit socketed. This thing desperately needs sustain... I make dumb builds, therefore I am. Last edited by FCK42 on Dec 6, 2016, 8:36:55 PM

" xD my first thought exactly! Pretty nifty i have to say. The Umbilicus Immortalis Coruscating Elixir combo with minion instability is new to me, i'm amazed! " Added that as optional because technically it can be used together, right? Last edited by Scherge on Dec 6, 2016, 9:48:04 PM

Well, technically the combination of eldritch battery, mind over matter and blood magic can be used aswell...

" I'm oddly tempted to try this out ó_ô | |
" The advantage here, or so I've heard, is that it is easier for Energy Shield recharge to start (because Damage over Time won't stop it; it will have full 100% bypass to Life). Energy Shield still protects your Life somewhat; it will be like non-chaos damage gains 70% bypass to Life. Need game info?
