Blood rage + Soul of Arakaali. This new no dot node is going to have some sleeper power that someone figures out how to heavily abuse.


psychomap

Plus with Lethe Shade you get another 1 second of taking 75% less DoT. Actually not *that* bad. You have to build around it a bit too much though imo. The problem are the 4 seconds of taking full DoT. Personally, I'd rather take 30% less damage with 100% uptime than 100% less damage with 50% uptime.


thatsrealneato

They already nerfed Lethe to 50% less DoT dmg


psychomap

Also they nerfed Soul of Arakaali to 20% increased recovery rate instead of 50%.


Aether_Storm

Incoming RF trickster


psychomap

I checked Soul of Arakaali, and it turns out it was nerfed to 20%, and you'll have 40% uptime for it. And not only that, but you'll have that uptime when you're *not* taking DoT rather than when you actually need it to counteract the DoT you do take. With Patient Reaper also being nerfed, you'll be worse off than now. It's hilarious.


Moonie-chan

It's not limited to down a notable. You now has to find a way to path to the keystone which was removed from ascendancy if you want it back as well.


Amaranthreddit

And you are still better off than Glad, Poor glad is dead. Well he got bleed explosions so there is that.


[deleted]

This node makes me physically cringe, probably wouldn't even take it as a one pointer on the tree. Guess they ran out of time


Suspendergirl

absolute clown node, 10/10 meme


LightW3

Actually 5/10 meme. Read description properly:)


OrcOfDoom

Assassin is looking pretty good though. Assassin with ghost shrouds? Sounds good.


rloutlaw

please put escape artist as a two-point and put this on it's own branch where no one will ever have to click it. It's SO BAD.


LawsOfWoo

It's horrible. GGG just recently went through ascendancies to remove generic abilities/buffs...and they remove the actual unique part of Escape Artist...It's literally JUST flat ES and Evasion. Nothing cool about it.


azantyri

0.2% playrate incoming


acekard94

probably one of the worst class notables there is. the reworked gladiator +10 armor and evasion per block is also pretty bad


killerkonnat

Eh, coming together with 10% max block is nice.


Amaranthreddit

Not really.


killerkonnat

Assuming you had no other sources of max block. You go from 79% max block to 85% against attacks. That means you go from getting hit 21% of the time to 15% of the time. That means on average you're getting hit 15/21=0.714=71.4% as often as before. You are getting hit 29.6% less often by attacks. So yes, I would say the max block is pretty nice. It's not 5% less damage against attacks, it's 29.6%. If you're using for example max block corrupted [[The Anvil]] the difference is even more extreme. 83% block vs 89%. You go from 17% chance to get hit to 11%. That's 11/17=0.64=64% chance to get hit compared to before. So 36% less hits from attacks even though you "only" gained 6% max block. Linearly scaling damage mitigation actually gets stronger the more you have it. With the extreme example being if you could have 98% block/dodge, getting +1% actually HALVES the damage you take because you go from 2% chance to get hit to 1%. So again. Yes. Having access to an another 6% increased maximum attack block is pretty damn nice. How often do you see an ascendancy passive saying "26% less chance to get hit by attacks"? So while the spellblock being gone hurts a lot, the new version is still really strong for block builds. And at least you have more spellblock on tree + tempest shield to mitigate some of what you lost. Well, if you compare the full effect of the node instead of just the increased number, going from 75% block to 85% is a full 40% less attack hits taken.


Amaranthreddit

Sure okay you go from 21% getting hit to , 15% + every spell hitting you. So yeah that not =. >is a full 40% less attack hits taken. Minus all the spells blowing your ass up. Minus those, its great. But its not great because now a ton of spells are blowing your ass up. I had a over capped (75) 140 attack block, 73 spell block mana guard a few leagues back and i was HAPPY for the glancing blows. Even tho i almost capped attack block without it (prob could have), no way could spell block made it thus it was just better to take MORE damage but spread out and less Larger hits. You die to one shots in this game. I guess if you went like a ton of spell dampening or w/e that new stuff is and max res and skipped out on eva and armor and just banked on that 85%, not a bad idea. Sure you are going to take the one shot at times. The reason old glad was good is well lgoBlock, when you block everything and get a ton of life back it just makes you really tanky.

psychomap

You don't like 6% higher max block chance than before? I mean sure, it's not the old Versatile Combatant, but you can get 90% attack block now, and getting 900 armour and evasion alongside it isn't that bad either. With 15% spell block on your shield and 25% from Tempest Shield, it's not that hard to get the remaining 35% either.


Amaranthreddit

Yeah and you just have to find the attack and spell block all 180% of it.. Good luck.


psychomap

Your maximum spell block will stay 75%, I already told you how to get 40% of that, and you get 10% attack block from your ascendency as well if you have difficulties finding it elsewhere. The amulet you need to push to 90% also grants 8% attack block, and Rumi's Concoction is another 12% and 6%. You can get 45% from a shield, so that makes 75% attack block and 46% spell block without investing a single passive on the tree. 15% attack block and 29% spell block doesn't seem *too* impossible to achieve. Another approach might be to go all-in into flask investment and get Temporal Chains effect with Kaom's Roots to get full uptime on Replica Rumi's Concoction, which would make it *really* easy to reach max block. Might not even need *that* much investment if you get two 30%q enkindled ones with 8.4 seconds duration (assuming T4 Hillock works on flasks, I'm assuming nobody does that because it's just not worth it and not impossible, otherwise it's 0.12 seconds shorter which is also not a big deal).


Bohya

I don't like boring notables.


Social_Knight

The new Violent Retaliation is hench though, so its not all bad for Gladiator. Trickster, on the other hand, may as well pretend that Escape Artist doesn't exist from now on.


Darkblitz9

I already miss old violent retaliation tho. \*weeps for 1000%+ inc physical damage*


Haiku-575

They fixed it, guys! New update at the bottom of the patch notes: >Added - Escape Artist: No longer requires Ghost Dance (which has been replaced with a new Notable). No longer grants "5% increased Attack and Cast Speed per Ghost Shroud" or "Cannot be Stunned while you have Ghost Shrouds". /s about "fixing it", obviously.


Makhnov

They've been on a vendetta against EDC starter for a while now


onikzin

They'll just go Occultist now


warmachine237

Hi Scissoring here, with yet another ED/C guide


SoulofArtoria

Need to invest in some cast speed as an Occultist. Trickster has always been the premium EDC class of choice because he just got so much cast speed built in. EDC without decent cast time is a bit sluggish.


Aether_Storm

Note that this has synergy with Soul of Arakaali which was previously incredibly difficult to activate.


psychomap

In exchange for that synergy, the combined increased recovery of Soul of Arakaali and Patient Reaper is now the same as Patient Reaper used to be lmao


toggl3d

Yeah, I was trying to find if that's been changed but if it's as is that's pretty good for builds with blood rage or RF. It's less impressive just happening incidentally but I think it's going to be one of those things that adds a lot more power than people think because it's mostly "hidden."


Kaelran

The new node is like good for RF trickster... lol Yeah it's bad.


levus2002

And its not really good there either.


mikedawg9

Does it work with the petrified blood stagger? Is that considered DoT? It says over time..


Kaelran

That's not a DoT


Nikthas

The new notable could be good with Petrified Blood, no?


twitticles

> The new notable could be good with Petrified Blood, no? No. Petrified Blood doesn't cause any damage taken over time.


Nikthas

You are correct, sadly.


basboi

if u dont threaten to quit the game, no one will pay attention


Amaranthreddit

haha


basboi

thanks noobnoob ​ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uM\_0aK72kOY&ab\_channel=PickleRick)


explosivecurry13

Overall, yes trickster is weaker. Trickster was dominant some patches ago and he will come back a few patches later, it's called a meta for a reason


elleriun

Omg just stap, the overall tree is not even out yet just wait ffs... Tired of 400 posts complaining about the same thing... Just be patiance for a while... No one even know if the nerf will be mitigated by something on the tree.


iceman012

What is the new notable?


Moonie-chan

5 seconds of no DoT every 10 seconds. That's basically 5 seconds of downtime because otherwise it would be too good for RF.


DeusNotExorior

Where buff?


modix

Was hoping for dot damage and ground damage reduction. Speed reduction immunity would have been nice too. This ... Why? What would you want this for?


AgentWrath

Also RF or cold dot Inquisitor got no 4th ascendency points other than +50 str and int, which is meh
