Love the usual QQs. Cant please this minority. The general reception seems moderately positive though, from the sane audience not resorting to screaming and cursing like a 12 y/o in his basement who had his modem unplugged by lil momma...

I cant tell cause not too experienced with 2015+ PoE, but of what i gather the manifesto is promising!

I usually play self cast in games, did so in Betrayal. But just realized thinking about syntesis choice, im a bowzon/ranger type in rpgs at heart, but i lost the feel since d2 amazon was murdered in what year, 2004?^^.
So wanted to go bow in a game again in synthesis. Not a word bout ranged attacks in manufesto tho, gives me abit "FoMO" for not going caster yet again, hm. Dual wander freezing pulse as starter perhaps? ES seems to be a given, given the manifestos word on buffs..

bow has been the strongest build in the game for like 5 years straight, don't need no buffs

aha, as said wouldn't know cuz im nuub. played only during open beta/first yr of release b4 betrayal.
pm'd btw (a)

sick!

Summon Phantasm Support now have effects on hitting Rare and Unique Enemies.
After you're hit, a Ghost Shroud is consumed, restoring Energy Shield based on your Evasion Rating.
Now, there is a limit of 10% restored per leech effect, so each individual leech effect can't last more than 5 seconds. For the Ascendant's Slayer Passive Skill, this is 5% lower.
Energy Shield has a lower cap on maximum restored per second than Life Leech (10% of maximum energy shield per second)
Consecrated Ground linger for 4 seconds
Player Maximum Resistances now can never go above 90%.

Life is still eon's better than ES due to the vaal pact/ghost reaver nerf after legacy.

Interesting, the only "meta" (well, selfclaimed atleast) i seen on youtube (and never made cuz snorefest gameplay) seemed to be mostly ES!

Could you explain as if I was five, the quicks of it in short/what points make es bad/life better? If you cba

As a league starter, you don't have to worry too much about stuns/freezes as life and life nodes are plentiful compared to ES + with overleeching and vaal pact, survivability is a lot better.

Late game, ES does come up in terms with life (barely since no vaal pact still), but the investment is close to 10ex spent on es for every 1 ex spent on life.

i always liked life-es-mana builds
es-life notes pretty sick
MoM-mana great sustain with extra layer of es
gearing options verry stronk Big and cheap



new es-leech jewels/support gems/gears
new cap on leech (5sec)
new cap on leech-rate-cap 10% on es
=
harder to leech es-only/life-only, more ezz to leech es+life at ones
sounds like a direct buff to corrupted energy jewel (50%physical damage penetrates es)
better leechrates on low hitpoints pool of es/life


new multiheal buff:
concecrated ground
trickster get a new es-heal

thanks for dumbing it down for me
I think life is more appealing mechanically, anyways, straight forward enough for a noob like me and seems (as your points about cost indicates) easier to find life gear, too!

I played Enkhi's selfcast arc SC SSF this betrayal. I just felt that, even at 5,8k hp and MoM 2,3k unreserved mana, a lot of shit (or well, pimped geared ranked syndicate members mostly) would just one shot me, or very close to. The massive adds in syndicate encounters caused fps drops like mad on my laptop, too, so yeah i died alot on t13-16maps vs them (t12 and below was a cakewalk mostly tho). Even at 0-40% chaos res (depending on gear), and 80%elemental res, things just killed me quite easy on occasion. The %physDR was kinda shit though i'll admit.

The 10k++ es builds seemed appealing, then.

ty men lemme try and decipher
