Did they just massively buff the Chicken Axe? (Ngamahu's Flame) - POE 3.23 / Affliction

Ойындар

Chapters:
00:00 - They buffed the weapon
00:17 - Explaining the buff
01:09 - No information, people dont know about this?
I just tried out a Chicken Axe (Ngamahu's Flame) after it dropped for me with a character that had a Nimis on. And I immediately noticed the difference in the returning projectile's behaviour.
Now any build using this weapon got a massive huge DPS buff as ALL the projectiles will hit the target when returning compared to the previous behavior.
These changes were not yet documented on the wiki pages, and I couldn't find any related information in the patch notes.

    When build loads up in Path of building it looks messed up regarding mana reserved, maybe he doesnt use some of auras. Fire resistance is 40%, but something is probably missing since there is no way he would play with 40% res all time. It looks like "build" needs serious work, he has HH but didnt invest in in important things. Defences are none. Life pool is in range squishy tornado shot players. Since he is not lvl 97-98 he probably leveled this in few days and didnt invest time in making it more durable.

Using the tincture that allowes you to poison with all damage and then doedre's scorn with the tincture mod, chance to apply random hex. (Use the power charge curse limit ring for a lot of curses) That should be a lot of damage really cheap

    Sounds great but... If I'd use molten strike that already has ball projectiles it might not worth using the chickenaxe. You could get a much faster weapon with much higher base damage. Or maybe with some str stacking with the brutus splinklers or the replica boots that gives chaos damage per str. I don't know, would need to play with the numbers in POB.

It is (or was) a great build but It just didn't work for me. Golems are awesome because most of the tree is... very generic. You can do whatever you want with those. Unless you mean the Golems doing the damage. I consider Mathil's builds as a great source of inspiration for my own builds. He makes a duckton of builds each league, sometimes doing some funky stuff. You can just see some skills and interactions in action in his videos, you will have the necessary understand how that particular build works, and then you can make your own twist on it. This is how I ended up with the Energy Blade CoC Inquisitor (Icea Spear / Soulrend) build I played the most. Inspired by Mathil's energy blade video.

    Just found this video. Have you thought about trying this with a CoC setup? You could have a CoC cyclone setup in chest and another CoC setup in the axe. In the axe the CoC setup from the balls does not need another gem to trigger them. Might be an interesting build to explore.

    yeah I was thinking about it. The biggest issue is that all the balls hit at the very same time going out and also when returning. That's not ideal for CoC because of the cooldown. If there were a slight delay between the balls hitting enemies, would be an absolutely amazing weapon for CoC. I'm pretty sure some people tried to work with it, and maybe I'll also try it out in 3.24. All depends on how much time do I have to play POE.

    It should be balanced between trigger rate and the damage itself. Accuracy stacking with Jugg can be an option yes, absolutely. How good would it be, I don't know. And now that I'm thinking about this build, another skill that could help with the trigger rate is rage vortex of berserking. That would add triggers on top of your chosen skill's hit rate, and it would be much-much easier to hit the maximum trigger rate for the Molten Burst hmmm... So 6 socket (not linked) chicken axe with supports, main 6L skill in chest, and another 4L for the rage vortex could work. The Axe itself doesn't care what causes a hit (if it comes from your weapon).
