no clue how much that is even up you lane, but what you been doing with all the storm stacks and so on, is sadly weak as hell. As you said the tankiness of those Bosses and stuff is just terrible. I found my self however really enjoying Tempest Strike because of its absurd attack speed in 2 different primalists(1 Beastmaster 1 Shaman) build using Earthquake and the Idols to apply Earthquake Aftershocks on hit. The Builds rock a solid experience being as less dodging as possible with a solid amount of dodge rating converted to endurance threshold by foot of the mountain. Face Tanking aberroth and bosses up to 800 Cr currently. It was a nice watch tho and showed me i can be happy i didnt try to do stormbolts :D
@@Dr3adful true the tornado etc was great, i meant with tempest strike - sorry if that wasnt clear. Also was more trying to hook into, good feeling melee build no so much about storm bolts be utterly useless.
best vid yet Can’t wait for more long form content like this. The way I can understand your thought process, tips and tricks here and there and your humor is top notch, and somehow this vid makes me want to play another cycle again
About initial Harbingers - I think having long fights in ARPG is fine if it does not devolve into "shinkicking". Like all bosses have indicators on the HP bar which do... reveal more hp to burn through. Like compare Lagon to the Harbinger - Lagon introduce something notable on the second phase, have an intermission... still the same pattern... Edit: 47:16 Could be 100% what happens, original Lagon fight had the same problem with skills alike Static (aka "middle of hitbox auto-targeting").
Hi Dr3eadful, I am more like a semi-long time lurker, I always like the videos you make. What I would have liked to see a little bit more in detail here, is how you setup your lootfilter when you start from zero. That's where I always spend some time on. I gotten better, but once the exalted items start to drop, its not so easy to filter out what is more valuable and what to keep. In the best case, I would only want to look at loot to shatter it, pick it up for legendary crafting or have an potential upgrade at hand.
we really need a passive that lets storm bolts stack storm stacks by themselves instead of having to use gathering storm all the time another thing that would be nice for tempest is if they gave a node that reduced the hit count requirement of the tempests, you could make it only work with one tempest enabled that way it doesn't scuff up 2 or more tempests. would be nice qol for some extra dps.
@@Dr3adful Would this build still work if you just used Gathering Storm as your main attack and slotted in something else like Fury Leap or would the damage be a lot lower?
Some skills seem to have some vestigial parts to their skill tree; A while back I was trying to get my friend into the game for 1.0, and he immediately settled on the topright of the teleport tree. Teleport is the mage's movement skill, and it has a lot of utility for the character. big buffs, movement, options, whats not to like? Well... the topright of the teleport tree summons mirror images at your departure and arrival points in exchange for increasing the mana cost. These mirror images cycle between 3 different elemental projectile skills, None of these use your skill trees The Mage's passive trees lacks any minion nodes The "mirror image' gear doesn't even match what you are wearing As far as I can tell, there is absolutely nothing the mage can do to scale them. all this to say, it'd be interesting to see a video about the niche parts of skill trees that seemingly-nobody would ever take
Great job, I'm a bit of a casual LE player, would be good to show a build that can facetank boss' which has reasonable DPS and doesn't require LP3 gear to achieve it's tankiness. Can you share a build guide if you know of any please.
Decent number of people do zero to hero in poe. There is even a crazy guy doing ssf strength stacker right now. He has at least 200 hours just on the character in the past month and a half.
Can someone help me with the Storm Totem node that says Storm Totem now casts storm bolts from your Gathering Storm... Does that mean it will no longer benefit from increases to minion damage, and just increses for my own spell damage? Thank you
I tried the same thing and I ended up disappointed with this build just due to bad skill trees and even gear supporting tempest strike. It was way too low DPS for anything and in the end I'm going to shelve the shaman for this cycle until they redo the skill trees and buff some stuff.
you know I really like LE but honestly the art style is terrible. All the armor looks janky, the paid cosmetics are even worse. It kills me that I cant look cool while killing shit. They need to ask GGG/blizz for some tips.
Alright, this was fun to do. What build/skill do you guys want to see next?
idk if you have any interest in this build, but i wanna see a forge guard full reflect in action this patch xd
Can you make a spear build sentinel?

Thankyou sir, great video. I feel your pain and can understand why all the other main content providers left for other games so long ago.
Love the long-form stuff from you, especially suitable because you're capable of showcasing off-meta builds where there's a real content gap.
Really appreciate your dedication to the game! Keep it coming
Love this type of content. Almost as fun as playing.

Love the new format!
I interacted with the algorithm!
Wow took a bullet on this one to make a run at it. Was a build I was curious about since it rolled out.
So Dread is recommending EHG hire Llama as he's an accountant I believe.
On the case of Melee I agree something needs to be done.

I have a few videos on the channel explaining how I set up my loot filters
It seems like they need more stuff before you get to harbingers. Basically stuff to carry you from 80-100 to smooth out the transition
It’s called Empowered monos 😊 they are the old endgame and will get you to 100 or ready for harbies!
I also blame all my deaths on intoxication.
Was wondering when someone would finally call out the Harton fight. Absolutely miserable experience.
The trick to enjoying early primalist leveling, is to never play any other class so you don't know what you're missing.
Watching you break the positive feedback loop was awesome. Are there any other builds that can crash the game like that?
we really need a passive that lets storm bolts stack storm stacks by themselves instead of having to use gathering storm all the time
another thing that would be nice for tempest is if they gave a node that reduced the hit count requirement of the tempests, you could make it only work with one tempest enabled that way it doesn't scuff up 2 or more tempests. would be nice qol for some extra dps.
I just used thorn totems and ignite DOT with tempest strike. I could spec out of thorn totems pretty quickly and didn't have mana issues
That's a great build but is it really a tempest strike build if in the end its just storm bolts doing the damage?
that was partly why I was disappointed in the end.
@@Dr3adful Would this build still work if you just used Gathering Storm as your main attack and slotted in something else like Fury Leap or would the damage be a lot lower?
Tempest Strike had you in the first half not gonna lie 😉
Some skills seem to have some vestigial parts to their skill tree; A while back I was trying to get my friend into the game for 1.0, and he immediately settled on the topright of the teleport tree.
Teleport is the mage's movement skill, and it has a lot of utility for the character. big buffs, movement, options, whats not to like?
Well... the topright of the teleport tree summons mirror images at your departure and arrival points in exchange for increasing the mana cost.
These mirror images cycle between 3 different elemental projectile skills,
None of these use your skill trees
The Mage's passive trees lacks any minion nodes
The "mirror image' gear doesn't even match what you are wearing
As far as I can tell, there is absolutely nothing the mage can do to scale them.
all this to say, it'd be interesting to see a video about the niche parts of skill trees that seemingly-nobody would ever take

Leaving comment for algorithm
Interacting, as asked. Great video.
Im curious if the mana generation from the cold swing is still bugged after its been reported by various people for 8+ months now.
lmao that could explain things
I love ssf zero to hero shit. Wish more people did it in LE and Poe
Decent number of people do zero to hero in poe. There is even a crazy guy doing ssf strength stacker right now. He has at least 200 hours just on the character in the past month and a half.
NICE!
Salute
This is cool as fuck!

my poor i3 cpu cant handle this build😔
Is there an endgame version of this ?
💪🐻⛈
Halououououo 🦦🍺

Part of the reason is the performance is very bad right now leading to all of us playing on low settings always. Otherwise it would be much prettier.
