Do you know if Zealous inquisition combines with Herald of Ash, a buff that if you kill an enemy with more damage than necessary he explodes, i'm using it and it's great for clearing
AsmodeusClips did a calculation breakdown a few days ago on some support gems and low-life based modifiers that seem to indicate very small damage increases with culling/decimating strike. Something to look out for for sure
how do we get ascendancy points? is it after so many levels?
Great breakdown! I'm sure you were thinking it but since you didn't mention it, I thought I'd add: Witchbane/No Mercy combo sounds like it would combo great with Decimating Strike since a strong roll there gets you well on your way to the 40% concentration break with just 1 hit. Phases shouldn't be a problem as long as the boss comes back with full life (we saw this in at least one boss fight that some folks showed, not naming it since some may see that as a spoiler). With that said, GGG must have seen this in their earlier testing so I would imagine there will be plenty of bosses where the phases do not result in returning with full life (otherwise this combo would've been nerfed by now given how much stronger it is than what anyone else has). If my guess turns out to be true, then Witchbane/No Mercy can end up being worthless in those fights.
Thanks for the video, very instructive and well structured!
Isnt the dual spec just that part of passive tree can be different? And there will be no weapon passives.
Your interpretation is one of the best for easy understanding with all those summary notes on the same pages. Great video❤
I've had many failures with bows in POE1, because those builds are not tanky…
That's the reason why I choose Pathfinder's Poison & Tanky builds as my starter every season.
Interesting watch, thank you.
You have a beautiful voice 😉
Amazing Video i will Start whit Mercenary <3
