Feel free to hit me up in game or PM me. It would be fun to work together to get the build to work. Even off meta, still mega fun to make.

Thanks for the offer. I'm currently struggling a lot with depression stuff so working together is a no go (I only manage to play 1-2 hours a day at the moment) but my plan is to work on my old outdated build guide on Friday and bring it to 3.13 now that I got over the changes. https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2687909

Just please nobody bump it yet before I get to update.

Here's my preliminary 3.13 PoB: https://pastebin.com/NYJXZjJp
I didn't really change anything yet but you can switch between 3.12 and 3.13 and it goes from 961k DPS to 825k so it's quite a loss (about a 15% overall straight damage nerf) but not impossible to play. I doubt I would take other nodes than before. Some Mana leech is a must now sadly.

I also made an Elementalist variant that I might give a try: https://pastebin.com/2EZbvLqM
But honestly, nothing about the nodes excite me, it's just a different skill setup challenge to get through resistance. And nothing is really that different. About the same overall DPS and life amount but a button more to push with Frost Bomb but using Frostbite Blasphemy instead of Assassin's Mark so that frees up a skill slot. Crit chance is lower but shock and freeze is pretty much guaranteed anyway, just with sometimes low numbers so you might need to hit twice.

Yes, I know I have a few bad PoB habits, like only paring a build down to max lvl 100 points, although I never get above lvl 92 (I usually have in mind what I will get last/never or some points are adaptable to my gear situation, do I need more DPS or life?) and I don't have the calculations on Shaper. I never met the guy. At least the Inquisitor variant doesn't really care what he hits though.

I may try a Cold Snap Inquisitor that tries to use the new nodes but I shudder at the thought of doing a few attacks only for the sake of boosting a spell cast. Plus, I already have 4 builds to play and don't play enough and too slow.

if you dont have much time to play - play standard. i do, for exact same reason

youll 'waste' a lot of hours in new league before you reach 'settled' state in it. imo - new league mechanic is not worth it. unveiling 1000 items AGAIN? why..?


as for the inquisitor. Ive theorycrafted the 200 ES regen -> life/ES regen thing. and it is a straight buff to pretty much all my characters

that flat mana regen tho.. that hurts and made at least one of my builds non functional without SERIOUS rebuild. collateral :/

I'm an altoholic and I love starting from scratch. All the dopamine hits from early progression. That's why I even dig unveiling.

About the ES regen, yeah, I misunderstood the change and thought my 12% life regen would also count as 12% ES regen which would be crap with my usually very low ES numbers. Now it seems the change will be 500/s instead of 200/s and I'm of course not complaining about that. :D

Sorry to hear dude, but not something I'm unfamiliar with.

HMU if you need anything.

Thanks, no worries, I have a good support system. I'm just still trying to figure out how to get out of it and what meds can help. It's just so frustrating when I'm easily overwhelmed and can only play for a little while before everything becomes fuzzy and I get a headache.
