>>507291598Thoughts on Blasphemy Temp Chains?
>essence/strongbox/shrine is ass>waystone tier up isnt needed>rare/magic monsters has nothing on just rolling it on the map and boosting it to 100%+there is no better atlas setup than this.
PoE1 char select is so insanely kino and PoE2 char select is just OK.
>>507291872makes the game too easy
>>507291880>waystone tier up isnt neededwhy
How are they gonna nerf stat stacking without ruining the items? You can't really touch Pillar. Making Howa give inc lightning instead of flat or something? As it stands right now it's universally the best gloves for any non-slam attack build.
>>507291872Does nothing against the multiproj bombers deleting you from offscreen
I am tempted to put my gemling melee aside until they fix melee. Which they will fix. I'm sure of it.I want to do a summoner that is NOT detonate dead, arsonist, or SRS. Anything you can do with the brutes that isnt just blowing them up?
>>507292006make the items much more rare imo
>>507292024Those guys are manageable. The mosqiutomancers detonating dead from ACTUALLY two screens away is mind boggling though. Feels like they fat fingered an extra zero on the cast range of that shit.
>>507292065>until they fix melee. Which they will fix. I'm sure of it.lol
Not sure if this is a bug or not, but when you get the passive skill, "Lord of Horror" (Minions have 12% reduced reservation) you need to click off all of your minions and then click them back. The game doesn't factor in the reduced reservation on active minions and that should get you at least 1 if not 2 additional minions.
>>507292006>can't really touch pillarYeah? Watch this.>reduces ratio of stats to power to a thirdFuck you>nooooo you can't just make a unique badEvery other unique is bad, the average blue weapon you pick up is better than almost all of them. Who cares
hey does this shit turn on when you get nuked or is it only checked on hit
>>507291953do boss nodesit floods you with maps
>>507292024Ok how about cast on freeze temp chains with the fireball build.
>>507292024>multiproj bombers deleting you from offscreengod I hate these fuckers SO MUCH
does skill effect duration increase wither interval???
>>507292205They'll fix melee or I'll do a christchurch.
>>507292219
>>507292221until you increase the level too high and the loot table breaks and you get no maps
>>507291953unnecessary for sustain, i have a full tab of 15/16s and each boss drops 3-5 t15s with all the map effect.
>>507292219Pretty sure it's an on/off state but I can't say I see any utility in that node atm.
>>507292297they've been trying to "fix" melee for like a decade, your best hope is screen wide "melee" skills.
>>507292219when you are on low life you have 80% increased armour and evasion. bretty nice if you are down that way with an infernalist.
I don't even know what supports to put on Storm Wave anymore, I have Upheaval and Magnified Effect, should I add Longshot in there?
>>507292219It doesn't apply to going from above low life to low lifeIt's for actual low life builds
>>507292006they'll turn howa back into a claw when claws get released
>>507292006Why would you even bother nerfing stat stacking when it costs 150+ divs to get going
What's the best ritual passive points for getting another audience with the king before I've got my second set of points. I just want to burn through this faggot's fights without spending 7 div perI assume it's the "extra reroll" and then speccing for deferrals once you see the audience?
i barely use my dodge roll anymore
>>507292537>when claws get releasedDidn't the thing from last thread about the disgruntled employee that was proven right about leaks also say that claws were basically scrapped
Ain't no way this works on Fragmentation Rounds right?
>>507292006>You can't really touch Pillar.Why wouldn't they touch it?1% increased skill duration per 10 intelligence1% increased attack speed per 10 dexterity5% increased weapon damage per 10 strengththere, fixed your pillar of the caged god
>>507292667Wasn't the vine trap level stacking nerfed despite being really expensive?
>>507292667why do ppl say its expensive? just get str on every item
>>507292480They had perfect opportunity with poe2 and blundered it entirely by making it poe1.5 instead. Just go back to first Diablo speed, monster density and lethality, or alternatively copy No Rest For The Wicked for arpg dark souls.
>>507292820retard
>>507291367>The combat in the beta was actually better than average for these types of gamesFunny enough it didn't have as good of a gamefeel as Diablo 3 did. I don't know how they managed to fuck that up considering it was built on the same engine.
not a cockroach
>>507292065>until they fix melee. Which they will fix. I'm sure of it.buddy every good melee build got hit by the nerf bat by GGGthey actually hate melee players
>softcore streamer>uses his own buildLiterally all streamers use meta builds or be minionfagsI haven't seen a single one that uses an original build from start
>>507292919melee is just antithetical to arpgs, can't go around killing packs of monsters when you need to 1 on 1 them. it'll never be the way you want it, it's all about speed and splash.
I am going to fucking curbstomp whoever designed Prowling Shades, keep that shit only in Vaal Factories so I can fucking avoid them. God damn niGGGers
>>507292854Try itIt's good regardless for Herald of Ice pops
>>507291880>not choosing the rares on the left ngmi
>>507292923Nigger. Claws are way too cool a weapon to make a moveset for these retarded anti-melee devs to pull it off. There's no way they're getting through ever
>>507292065You're forced to level as SRS. Skelebros are useless before you get a bunch of defensive passives for them. Maybe around level 40 you could suffer through the rest of the game without SRS.I don't know how they're at endgame because I got fed up with how shit they are.
Why
>>5072930911 on 1 worked fine for diablo1I would happily trade away that part of "action" in "action rpg", I rather have less monsters and be more meaningful, than killing packs of 10 absolute trash mobsI don't know when did that started, or why you think that's something to uphold/keep on the genre
>>507292873>>507292217People are just gonna start playing bows. Lightning Rod is just as busted as bell and you can abuse accuracy stacking with widowhail that normally gets wasted on staves.>>507292903>>507292667You can get it started for like 30ish. It's not instantly delete bosses tier but builds have outpaced bosses by a massive amount already.
>>507293075Ster.Ster theorycrafted his own build at the start and was blasting bosses and maps with a skill almost nobody uses to this day. Snipe. Helmet that causes crits to have a 100% chance to apply a poison. He increases crit damage. He applies a poison(s) with Snipe's gigantic modifier and watches boss HP bars deplete. He uses it to prolif poison, but otherwise for white packs farts the poison cloud. It was kinda fun to watch him play it.
>>507293162It's a bit pricy to try. The wording on Frag makes me assume its frozen explosion isn't a shatter.
>>507293283to discourage fags like you that pay for gold with real life currencyget fuckd lolyou got him Chrisgood job
>>507293091melee doesn't have to be 1on1, it would just rather be 1on5 than 1on40there's no way to do interesting "melee" designs if every fight is a musou where you explode 40 white enemies that die to being clipped by splash damagethe advantage melee should have is that their basic hits interrupt individual enemy attacks by staggering things so their survivability comes from better control, but we're playing a game where enemies don't even attack because the screen is permanently exploding and you only die to on-death poolsGame is a farce
if dogshit tastes so bad, then why do I keep eating it? checkmate athiests
>cheapest Queen of the Forest is 11 divThanks Chinaman
>>507293286>than killing packs of 10 absolute trash mobsthat's the way arpgs have been for like 2 decades, mindless grinding and the occasional boss fight where you need to pay attention. being constantly on the edge of your seat is extremely tiring, people play games to relax.
>>507293283assuming it respects ilvl, to prevent people from rolling gambling characters that restrict the loot table while fishing for uniques
>>507293336>Lightning Rod is just as busted as bellYes, but different situation1. add more cool suffix/prefixes to the game to different slots2. put cooldowns on strong combo skills like lightning rod and bell, or force them out of being able to be used as a primary spam skill3. i have no idea add more skills. bell and rods are cool, but it's more of the fact that the other classes don't have something like this4. potg builds also use bell, but you don't have to, because it's so strong you can just tempest flurry + herald of thunder through maps and never releasing the attack button and 1shot everything like D3 flurry monk
>>507293472just buy chance orbs at this point
>>507293163waste of points when every map is this
>>507293425>pay for gold with real life currency
>>507293597I wish
do you have to unearth with the mouse at an enemies corpse?or just unearth over it?
I realized im just too shit without my level-crutch on spellswhat spells do i cast
>>507293436Flicker strike was heaps of fun in Poe1. The difference between that and this is that in Poe2 they've taken away any of the mobility you used to have. Leap slam is slow as hell. Shield charge stops on every tiny little white mob spider that dies to a stern look. The wind up on shield charge means EVEN IF you don't get stuck on a random mob you will die before you even start moving. Flicker strike is restricted to QS only (and so is the rest of the good melee toolkit including all the shit with actual mobility and escape).All they need to do is give melee some actual fucking mobility. Ranged plays the spacing game by not moving as much but being able to project damage over the whole screen. Melee plays the spacing game by only being able to hit things nearby but having more ways to position around the fight. That's how it should be. But its the opposite. Range has all the mobility AND the range. Its so fucking stupid.
>>507293091>>507293436Let melee skills freely path through enemies, like wading through units and beating the shit out of them. Literally just turn the game into Dynasty Warriors as a melee-only thing.If their vision ever actually gets realized, comboing abilities is required, and moshpit swarms that can't be instantly blow up are commonplace, then this would melee feel fun as fuck. Claws dash through enemies swinging wildly, hammers and axes cleave through with wide swings while stepping forward, Ice Strike and shit doesn't latch onto an enemy but simply moves forward and displaces them.There, melee is fun as fuck now. It also ties mobility to your attacks so you've made up for the fact you can't just circle-strafe and spam like magecucks can, which also means you can design anti-melee mechanics that melee can do while attacking and moving to the right spotsIt really isn't that hard a concept. Make this game Dynasty Warriors for melee
>>507293731melee having more mobility is sensible but in the current state of the game it would only be used to blink faster between packs of 40 white trash that you instantly explode with attacks which might as well be a mage fire explosion because they are visually and functionally identicalthe content needs to be fixed before you can fix the player character
>Minions are still garbage and tedious manual spellcasters>Melee is just as bad if not worse than poe1>Another game made by and for spellslinger playerslmao what was even the point of making this shit game
>still no new patch or newsthey gave up didn't they
>>507293942>>Minions are still garbage and tedious manual spellcasters
>>507292006are you really complainign a 200 div build is op?
>>507293075Why are you trying to spin the game's lack of build diversity into a SC vs HC thing?
>>507293782>Dynasty Warriorsyou still just want to explode screens of 40 enemies you just want it to look more like a melee attack when it happens. I do not consider musous to be something to strive for
>try to make everyone move and fight slower>make the maps significantly bigger and fill them with the same dogshit trash enemies as usual>reduce crafting options>make loot drops worseit's like this game was developed by a team with two separate visions of what the game should begod damn get your shit together
I wish there were life nodes. It feels like shit having so little life as the big Warrior titan man, despite the fact I've tried to stack as much STR and life as possible. Meanwhile Gemlings are running around with double my HP pool...Maybe I should just remake my Warrior as a Gemling...
easiest build to stack rarity on and farm t10-t15s?Im a witch hunter currently
Ice nova build is feeling really comfy.
>>507292065Brutes or even reavers with full minion crit build works.
>>507293937The content definitely DOES need to be fixed. Their whole design philosophy is out of touch and I really don't understand if no one has just sat down with mr. rogers and told him he's a fucking idiot or if he's blissfully unaware.But I don't think that precludes fixing melee.
Surely all the bald retards with horrible ideas were put on the poe2 team right? That means the next poe1 league is going to be an absolute blast
>>507292903I dunno, I tried it, got to 600 str and Pillar still felt shittier than simply playing Gemling and just going Crit Lighting Monk instead.
>>507293960
>>507291903You sound like you haven't played PoE1 since 3.0
>>507294070ggg changed poe2 direction at least twice during development and it shows, also i am convinced the current early access build was jurryrigged in last six months from bits and pieces of what they were fumbling with for 6 years prior
>>507294106%life amulet%life jewel%life soul cores
How much rarity do I need for it to become noticable?I'm SSF by the way.
>>507292065>>507292205>>507293068>>507292480They "fixed" melee two times in the history of poe.1. Original slam league. Everyone was running around shouting and one shot slamming everything.2. Legion cyclone league. Everyone was running around with strong, screenwide aoe cyclones.What did they do? They nerfed both of them into the ground, never to be good again.
>>507294245my stun stacking armor break stacking stampede titan is feeling super comfy
>>507293665over is fine
>>507294052I'm not the person you were originally replying to, I'm saying it like Dynasty Warriors because that's literally what this game is going to be with 50 enemies surrounding you that you can't instantly kill.I don't want you pressing a couple buttons and popping the screen as if every melee is running Herald of Ice. I want you wading from one side of the pack to the other doing damage, enemies at 70% hp.Then a Quarterstaff turns around uses Frost Wave or whatever to jump backwards, freezing the pack. Then they jump back in with Vaulting Impact.I want Warriors doing a short spin like a cyclone stopped early through a pack, then a rolling slam, then an earthquake that staggers everyone, then something that pulls them in. Five hit combos that move you through the enemy, position them, but also provide some survivability.Claws and swords charging through from one side to the other over and over while building charges, followed by some big finisher move. idgaf, they aren't in yet so I can't say how to implement it.The point is that so long as 'the vision' is maintained and screens aren't instantly dying eventually, this is quite literally the only way melee will not feel shit in this game. Look at every action combat game ever. They do the same thing. Moving through enemies, attacks move you forward, moshpits are displaced by melee rather than the other way around. As long as white mobs are meant to swarm you and not be killed right away, melee will be a fucking joke if this game isn't treated like Dynasty Warriors but with slower kills.
>>507294369>ggg changed poe2 direction at least twice during development and it showscampaign is slow and methodical. mapping is poe1.5, they clearly got scared of the community's reaction and the 0 playerbase in ruthless.
>>507294465It's weird and I have no idea what kind of wacky code they have going on. But even 50% is a huge improvement.>>507294486Same as minions. Minions get a good league. Witches eating good. Banished to the shadow realm for 999 eternities for the unconscionable sin of attempting to have fun.
Remember Act2 Scarab swarms?Remember how they were at that point a novel new encounter where you are swarmed by a large number of very weak enemies?Yea that's the whole game for the next 10,000hrs now, have fun
>>507294495I never understood stun stacking armor breakEvery monster just dies in 2 rolling slams hits anyway
>make 3 classes hot women>make the rest of classes ugly söy reddit beard bear fag dad dudes or asian twinks.Wonder why sorc, witch and ranger dominate?
>>507294571>But even 50% is a huge improvement.Hoy shit. How would anyone know this especially since in poo1 rarity was trash afaik unless completely raritymaxx.
>>507293981playing a 4k life titan feels like a joke when minion builds are running around with 10k es
>>507294571minions have been meta or near meta almost every league for years.like 4 out of the last 5 poe leagues they were meta in some form.
>titan doesn't give + character sizemissed opportunities
>>507294651There was an interview where jonathon mentioned offhand that rarity would "upgrade" currencies now.
>>507294604damn dude that's slow as hell
>looking at all the gear you find to determine if it's a direct upgrade or see if you can craft on it to hope for one>using all of your current for what they're meant for>finding cool gear you can save that would make a new build really strong while leveling up>saving gear for different situations>not having to worry about market FOMO, inflation, and keeping up with everyoneSSF is pure kino.
>>507294642You're two decades too late to the party. Western developers would rather tank half a billion dollars before they make an attractive character
>>507294662But you have the wonderful defensive layer that is armour to save you :)
>>507294662That's because GGG is genuinely retarded and left ES nodes on the Tree instead of taking them out back and blowing their brains out like they did with Life nodes
>>507294530>Look at every action combat game everI guarantee you are thinking of some very specific examples because I can't think of a single game where you are melee'ing 50 enemies that I could justify being given the title of an "action combat game"Yes, that is how you would design a fight against 50 enemies on one screenNo I don't think you should be trying to design that in the first place
>>507294486Melee felt pretty decent in Settlers, though?Shockwave Cyclone this league has been one of my smoothest league starts to date.
>>507294736>get no currency or gear drops for 20h+sure feels fun
>>507294704SRS are NOT minionsSkeleton mages were fucking sick though. Look what happened to those sorry bastards when the BFR looked in and noticed witches having fun.
>>507294589if I could absolutely be swarmed by an unbroken sea of enemies, I would be so happyinstead I have to fight these gay little individual packs because you can only herd so many together before they start fucking off
>>507294818I couldn't play SSF anymore, trading and shit drop rates aside, just the Currency Exchange is a big QoL
>>507294604Because you can make your entire screen pop instead of only the three monsters in front of you, anon
>>507293654yes, it's a thing. they just trade you items that sell for a lot of gold.
>>507294818your 400% rarity sis?
>>507291598>guardians in white mapsThat's a rather old pic.
Gamesux
>>507294547Campaign stops being methodical in like act 2, even first act it is questionable with feythorn olympic sprinters swarming you and werewolves coming in packs of 10.
>>507294843how are mages any different than srs? because without removing srs from the mix you realize that for the last 4 or 5 years minions have been meta or near meta almost every league?
>>507294736>spawning 1 citadel every 3-4h>seeing one Olroth every 2 days>not having done a single sim throughout these two weeks
>>507294797Melee was pretty good. If they backported WASD to Poe1 I'd probably never take another glance at Poe2.
>>507293731>leap slamAll they have to do to fix leap slam is make it have instant turn animation time and make you immune in the air.Fucking shit it feels so bad to use I doubt anyone internally even tried it.
>>507294912???Neither stun nor armor break does damage anon, nor proliferate to other mobs you don't hit? wtf am I missing here, is this a troll
>>507294793Whether it's >MMOs like, Lost Ark, Tera, Black Desert, Blade and Soul, >RPGs like Dragon's Dogma, Kingdom Hearts, FF7 remake or Dirge of Cerberus>whatever the fuck you can call DMC, Bayonetta, Metal Gear Rising>or Soulslikes like Nioh and Wukong (albeit not Dark Souls itself, though even then it still becomes like that during the periods where there's five enemies in front of you and your weapon can actually reach them all)Literally all of them do combat the same way if there's more than 2 enemies in front of them. And this game is designed to have 20 enemies surrounding you at all times.If you just don't want 50 enemies on the screen at once then you haven't been paying attention to the entire point of this playtest and the entire point of this game. Every mechanic is testing swarm mechanics, every encounter is 20 enemies, melees are getting pushed around by waves of them. If you don't want that you shouldn't even be waiting for this game's release because it's not for you. So the question is how you solve it for melee without it feeling shit.
How did they fuck up witch hunter ascendancy nodes so bad?There is literally no node that does something interesting with crossbows or related to crossbows. The culling and decimating nodes feel like a band-aid solution to a damage problem,the AoE explode is a band-aid to clear speed and the worst thing is you can get almost the same property on items anyway. The only thing that's interesting is the concentration.Maybe he should be a chief in a concentration camp.
>>507294495I'm happy for you.
>>507295260It's probably not meant to be a crossbow-centric ascendancy.
>>507295112They work more like a spell (eg. not targetable), on one hand is obviously why they're actually really good (side stepping the whole problem of minion survivability), but on the other hand also kind of defeats the purpose of playing a necromancer where the idea is having your small army of trusty skeletons fighting and dying at your command.I like the melee skeletons a lot more than the skeleton mages, but the skeleton mages were at least really really good. Kinda like arsonists in Poe2 though, it does feel a bit like a blaster build in drag.
>>507294797>melee felt decent in settlersLightning Strike and Molten Strike weren't real meleeBasically the only thing that felt like real melee was, as always, Boneshatter
>>507294571Minions were OP as fuck and deserved to be nerfed starting with blight and like the next 3 leagues. It was absolutely ridiculous.
>>507295260>showcase WitchHunter>WASD baby, literally the posterchild of PoE2>one of the lowest playerbasewtf it happened?
For me, it's righteous fire l
>>507293594Do the chance orbs work/work better on advanced and expert items?
>>507295260It has cool bloodborne jpg so it doesn't need good nodes as reddit basedboys will play it regardless.
>>507295495What happened is they overtuned the game as much as they can on purpose to know what people are willing to put up with, and will nerf all the one button builds by release because retards can't stop themselves from playing them to show the devs exactly what's bustedWhen people are forced to combo, Witch Hunter becomes a lot better by comparison
>>507294912>>507295168It got nerfed. You used to be able to chain armor break a few days ago.
>>507295471i want the poe1 1.0 true melee experience, bring bash heavy strike with no melee splash
>>507294651>>507294725And it tells you in game when you hover rarity.
Do you get the exchange in hideout?Can all chars use it regardless of level?
>>507295495Gemling was one of the more unpopular ascendencies till all the sheep started seeing the overpowered shit online.
>>507294642You forgot the part where they force us to be a nigger if we want to play melee.
>>507295456>They work more like a spellso do skeletons and zombies, you cast them, they do their thing and despawn. bama, srs, spectres, skeletons, zombies, golems, all meta or near meta going back to before ritual. pre-ritual they were even more busted.

>>507291598Give me a fun build. No crossbows involved.
>>507295601>>507295168It's easier if I just show you.https://streamable.com/1frh4gI'm only level 50 and just started Cruel Act 1, so I don't have the correct notables or Gem set ups yet. But it's close enough that you get the idea. When I get to 70ish, it should be even larger. But every now and again I can see entire screen pops.>>507295349I happy for you too, nova anon.
>>507294771They didn't LEAVE them on the tree. They PUT them there. And do you know what values they gave to them? It's like fucking 28% increased energy shield for one node. And there are many of those. What the fucking fuck were they thinking?Meanwhile, life gets two 3% nodes.
>>507295586if you put on radiant grief you can just run around spamming brap nades and they explode on their own.
How much strength should I aim for as a giant's blood titan
How the fuck do I get higher tier maps? I don't want to run shitty tier 4s anymore for fucks sake.
>>507294818>>507295124Idk guys just sounds like a skill issue to me.
>>507295260>>507295495It's theoretically not even that badThe cull nerfs in PoE2 suck and Sorcery Ward shouldn't reduce AR/EV that much, but those are just some numerical issues and it could be a lot worseThe real issue is that Deadye is better at every projectile skill that Witch Hunter is, even xbow skillsNerf Deadeye so it's not so blindingly overpowered (probably need to nerf Invoker at the same time or get the same issue), slightly buff a couple of things on WH, and everything is fixed
>>507295910i wouldn't worry about it. the skill tree is going to change several times a year for the foreseeable future.
so compared to POE1, we lost>blight>harvest>heist>ultimatum in maps>legion>einhar>rogue exiles>betrayal>alva>delve>abyss>sirus>synthesis>maven>feared, forgotten, formed, twisted, hidden, elderslayers>maven>exarch and eaterwhat did we gain?
>>507295819Brap gas arrow is pretty fun.Magnetic salvo with ice explosions is fun.Melee Deadeye with the mace projectile thing is fun.Bloodmage essence drain + contagion is fun, I swear :^)
>>507295179>If you just don't want 50 enemies on the screen at once then you haven't been paying attention to the entire point of this playtest and the entire point of this gameOr you just watched the trailer for the fucking videogame, which doesn't look anything like the end game of the same videogame because the devs are fully aware that nobody actually likes what this game becomesThe majority of the game's you've listed don't play anything like PoE and almost all of them stick to single digit numbers of enemies in melee at a time>It's just like Nioh!No it fucking isn't
>>507295910ES needs much more investment than armor or evasion, it can also be hard to regenerate during hard fights. it'll probably be nerfed a bit, especially grim feast. don't forget this is EA and it wouldn't be the first time ES got nerfed.
>mfw crossbow white mobs deal more than my whthat's rough
>can't buy gear because the trade site is dead half of the time>the economy is ruined half because retards listing everything for 1 div and the retarded trade site automatically listing them higher than 3 ex items>can't craft items because crafting doesn't exist
>>507295260Ascendancies should not be pigeon holed into specific weapons. If you think any ascendancy should be the The crossbow ascendancy then you fundamentally don't "get" path of exile.
>>507295969As much as possible, ideally. But since you get a good portion of your damage and survivability from Small Passives due to Hulking Form, don't try to be a stat stacker. Start off just getting enough for your weapons without being forced to use reduced stat requirement. After that, anything else is just a bonus.
>>507293665the hit detection on is shit and namelocking fucks it up even further
>>507295682people were calling out that obviously gemling was going to be strong if stat stacking was strong but we didn't have all the data yet on that kind of buildsurprise, stat stacking is strong

>>507281315Your new is showing even more dumb newfaggot nigger, elona early on was not fleshed out in the slightest compared to release Elin.
Did the Rudja (flamethrower) boss in a t16 map with the only damage mod being 39% extra lightning, zero res/curse mods. Got res cap and 6k health, the boss did 6k health in literally under a second with the standard flamethrower attack, holy fucking shitLiterally more damage than Arbiter beam or any pinnacle boss
>>507296071Wasd, smooth controls, skill-based gameplay.Poe1 is for spergs who "play" the game while watching something else on the second monitor.

>>507296135Right in that case i'll just play deadeye with +1 projectile because while that's not that interesting either,at least it's strong.

>>507296576Are you still stuck fighting Jamanra in Act 2 Cruel?
>>507296613The first weekend of poe 2 was the best we'll ever get. We briefly had slow and methodical combat. Then we all got a little gear, figured out the game, plus a few nerfs to the difficulty and it all became poe 1 levels of faceroll zoom zoom.
>>507296073>Or you just watched the trailer for the fucking videogameLiterally every playtest video had people playing Merc and rolling around packs 10 enemies and blowing them up lmao, what the fuck were you watching? Show me a single trailer that made this game out to be Dark Souls and only 3 enemies and you have your honorable duels.>The majority of the game's you've listed don't play anything like PoEThe point was they're all action combat games that have melee handle packs of enemies in the exact same way. They're all different games but have the same approach. But even then games like Lost Ark had the same perspective and basically the same mentality to melee>no it fucking isn't>posts a Kusarigama webmWow congrats, the one "melee" weapon that's entirely designed around keepaway and knocking down a single enemy. You sure showed me that axe, fists, longsword, and dual swords don't exist which were all about rapidly hitting like 3 people at once while moving forward, had hyperarmor moves that let them tank their way through five attacks and kill a whole pack, or the jumping ability that each of them had which aoe slammed five dudes at onceGreat cherrypick though. You found one game amidst all the top action games of all time that you might be able to play "gotcha" with and fucked up with the literal rangecuck "melee"You literally didn't pay attention to any stage of development. Everything you wanted from this game was headcanoned.
>>507296335if you wanna summon the boner things then bone blast doesn't really help and it's terrible in terms of damage
>>507296358Who the fuck talked about Elona "early on", retard? Of course Elona was weaker on release, it came out before and Elin is a direct sequel with all the same mechanics and some extra. But Elona has also had plenty of time 'to cook' much like how Elin needs to

I have 120 hours in and am at level 84 (only a single character played) and I have yet to find a citadel on the mapmy ADD is straight up crippling and it takes too long to find these fucking things on top of itThis is discrimination against my condition
>>507296040Deadeye should have +1 chain instead of +1 projectile. An additional projectile in a game where you can't really get them is far too strong. It's ironic that bows can get extra arrow as a mod but crossbows can't so it's even stronger for crossbows.

These maps layouts are... rough. This is a shorter post on Game Design and Player Friction. There is a fine balance to be had between no friction, some friction and too much friction. Right now, i'd say 8/10 maps is unbearable amounts of friction.Map Layouts. Wow. Where to even begin? Like, I get it - not every map can be Strand, Shore, Beach, City Square. I get it. But did you have to make 85% of the layouts WORSE than Cells Map in PoE 1? Back tracking, winding non-sense open spaces peppered with small hallways or outcrops leading to dead-ends, all topped off with an UNREAL amount of choke points, doors, narrow passageways and other non-sense to just GET IN THE WAY.Second point - the amount of hit box bugs and terrain blocking in the game is something I would expect from a very, VERY early tech alpha. I can't be the only one playing and wondering why on the mini-map my character icon is in what looks like an open area but I can't move?Dude. The logs, grass, bushes, twigs, rocks, fallen logs, trees, flowers, EVERYTHING has to have a hit box?! EVERYTHING? I'm trying to run thru a map and there is literally just holes in the ground. WHY? What game play purpose does this serve - especially since many monsters are firing ranged projectiles at you and have stupidly fast, terrain ignoring movement skills while you are fiddle farting around trying to just run around a stupid rock?There needs to be some friction - I get it. But every SINGLE thing that my character just get snapped into and can't move then dies and loses the map I'm trying to clear reminds me. This was designed this way. Someone made the code to generate these Biomes and very deliberately put THIS MUCH clutter into the maps.Artificial Time Gating and random full cessation of character movement is jarring and dissatisfying.
>>507298004what's the point in copying reddit posts and posting them here?
>>507298147These maps layouts are... rough.
>>507297168I can see it. Mapping was originally added in as a stopgap measure to address the game's lack of endgame to begin with, so it wouldn't surprise me

>>507298004This is a reddit post but he's not even wrong
>>507297575Lol you are so fucking retarded holy shit, just the fact that you insist that you were "totally" comparing an early access game to the final version of it's predecessor is hilarious and retarded either way you slice it KEK, but the best part is the extremely butt hurt and incorrect summary of the conversation, probably prompted due to being ousted as literal retard newfaggot who wasn't around for Elona lmao. The best part is you are absolutely seething at the keyboard and will respond within seconds again. Fucking zoomie haha
>>507297613Yeah, that would be good. GGG should drop it with the ascendancy nodes that are so good they are basically mandatory.
The terrain is really fucking annoying. So much shit you expect to be able to walk on but you just can't for no good reason.

>>507298689it's pretty based for ranged desu, but super shit for melee
PoE vets, I got a logistic question. I have arrived pretty firmly in the lategame now (lvl 90 farming and sustaining t15+).Most my gear is still pretty mediocre but I have saved up 8 div. What is the better move now, do I upgrade several slots for 1-2 div each, or do I all spend it on 1 slot and get that as optimised as I can?
>>507298986The only difference between them in how melee brute forces their way through hordes is in the number of units in front of them and the perspective, faggot. Some of them are a little less consistent but they don't have you running away like a pansy and getting mobbed 5v1 in a corner like the cuck you are, which is exactly what's going to happen in this game if there's no way to displace mobs and attack while moving.
Fighting a literal cuck is the most kino boss fight GGG has ever cooked up. Who'd have thunk it?
>trade gets ddosed>you have to sign in every other minute nowRRRRRREEEEEE

Gaming
I feel so sad guys, I hate how the game feels completely. I've put in about 150+ hours and I just can't enjoy it. I've played my own LR deadeye build to 90 and despise sanctum so haven't got last ascend. When I try any other character I feel exhausted and just want to turn the game off after an hour, can't make anything actually feel nice until it's out of campaign. I've come to the conclusion that the way PoE is designed (both 1&2) playing a build which doesn't insta kill the entire screen just doesn't actually feel good. Getting stunned/pushed around feels awful, dodge roll feels like ass and has no personality. Game just feels exhausting to play on anything without 30% movespeed + skill speed. Any builds for this feel?
>>507299798easiest to scale in the game. nodes are literally scripted to make you powerful also Energy Shield > Armour and Evasion
Do I put in Precursors one by one as I go through towers in a cluster or wait until I have them all to use them all at onceI feel like doing them all at once has more overall juiced maps but activating towers can reactive areas you've already cleared so I dunno if I can double up on Precursors by doing the same node multiple times
Does Delirium cloud move? I feel like it does sometimes and sometimes doesn't. Does it matter which direction I enter the mirror from? Is the unique spawn random? I cleared several maps in delirium and got to level 5 but only saw the unique guy once.

>>507299942Leveling a shit build through the campaign in this game feels 100x worse than a shit build in poe 1 ever did. I like to use the my endgame skill from as early as I can get it so I leveled a lot of absolute dog shit in 1.I have never wanted excessive damage and move speed as much as in this game. The packs are so annoying to fight and zones drag on so long. There's no way anyone kills their way through soggy vaal city or filthtown in act 3 on their second play through instead of just running past everything. You'd think that in all the idolising of dark souls that they've done they'd have realised the way people actually play those game is just running past everything they're not required to kill to progress.

>>507299194it's now apparent that you have about 5IQ and this entire reply chain was just about you wanting to be able to mindlessly hold forwards while meleeing things, which you think all of those other games are about because you didn't play them properly

>>507300747Name one of those games where you had to roll away repeatedly like a cuck and get rapefucked in the corner as the primary gameplay. You can't? Oh well looks like your vision is dogshit and every action combat game ever has intentionally made melee feel empowering
>>507300741>Revert everything that compensate sanguimancy before the fiht>Watch the boss kill itself in 3 seconds.Easy.
>>507300414Funny you mention Dark Souls, I love DaS1 and really like both DaS3 + ER and I could easily grind those games for 8 hours a day back to back. PoE2 just exhausts me, they say that they fixed melee but it just feels worse in this game, melee swings take a week to finish and it's so easy to get stun locked by white swings and you can't take a stun immunity keystone. Game just feels awful unless you are screen clearing. I went back to playing poe1 and I could not believe how much faster and responsive that game is from the second you start.
>breaches closing removes the monsters, but it doesn't remove their AoE'sYOU CAN'T DO THIS TO MEI DIDN'T GET TO PICK UP THE LOOT NONONONO -ACK

>>507300414>The fights feel like shit so they need to make the shit fasterWrongThis idea you have where people run past everything in souls is wrong too, you've probably spent too much time watching speedrun content creators. Fighting things is fun in souls because the combat and the content it's designed for are well tuned. If fighting things feels like shit in your game then the solution is to change the fighting or to change the things, or both, not to make the shit faster

>>507301804Let melees attack while moving forward, through packs, displacing the mobs. That's literally it. No instant screen clearing, still using combos. The mobs are already going to swarm and rape you because that's their vision, melees should be able to move during the moshpit

>>5073020821 ex max? i filter them out because they drop so much
>>507302053the quarterstaff strikes literally do that
>>507301361By this logic, the minions should taunt. Monsters always head straight for the player, it's so annoying.
>>507301804Strength should give your character more mass and prevent from being push around. Faster strike skills, enable move while attacking, improve hit boxes or targeting something is fucked up there. Get rid of these 1sec mandatory wind ups they're shit. Improve baseline atk spd on all weapons by .1-.2 sec
>>507302312yeah it was 1ex, 18 just started dropping for me so I was just missing a map tier or two
>>507302348The quarterstaff strikes latch onto a single target and only move through enemies if you readjust your attack to a different enemy. It does wonky shit all the time. If you attack and then blink during the dash you'll teleport from one side of the screen and then get pulled back to the original spot on the target. It should just move in the direction you're attackingAlso that's just quarterstaff and only the strike moves. The only two moves that actually go through enemies are Vault, which is slow and shit, and Gathering Storm, which will get you killed because the perfect timing is obscured when surrounded. And it shouldn't just be for quarterstaff even if this wasn't the case

>>507293969He's rightMinions are dogshit in this gameSRS does not count, for it forgo's a fundamental problem that minions have: they body block eachotherSolution: give minions phasing through other minions or smaller colission boxes, but I think even with small boxes it'll still be doomed since 2/3 maps in this game have layouts that revolve around tight narrow passage and bridges even in large forest areasAnd I think SRS isn't even that strong considering the other builds, it's just very low budget.I think if they tone down SRS and use it more as a baseline starter-kit for fire-based minions that you'll either want to build around through new uniques or replace them later on with spirit-costing minionsAlso minion skills (grenades have this as well where they have just low enough cooldown to wait for it and spam them but not enough cooldown to feel impactful over normal skills so you essentially spam them until the cooldown runs out and sit there waiting for 1 charge and immediately spam it) feel WAY too spammy.Lets say instead of SRS you go Storm Mages with Choir or something, you'll have 9 casts of the storm mage skill that go by 1-by-1 without any cast speed and it's quite slow.I always imagined the minion skills to be more of a coordinated platoon attack, causing all 9 storm mages to simultaniously do something cool kind of replicating the Vaal Summon Skeleton playstyle.

>>507302845no
>>507302558>Strength should give your character more mass and prevent from being push around.I really like this idea but GGG will add a knockback resistance stat that you'll need to put ten points in to do anything instead.

>>507302659this is literally us
>>507302874The devs have said their goal is to not let you oneshot the screen and be forced to use combos. Do you unironically think you'll be able to get off the 4+ moves they expect you to use for white mobs before all the swarms that move faster than 40% movespeed characters can smotherfuck you? When the beta league mechanics are literally all swarm mechanics?
Can I redo these or will I need a new coin for every attempt? Should I be preparing for them by doing low level ones for honor items?
>>507302740Tier 4 maps. I have 3100 damage on my explosive shot, my weapon has over 320dps so it might just be a build fuck up on my part with the gems.

>>507295682Gemling proves that current-era ARPGs are forever ruined by their playerbase and internetThere is no more building, no more contentStuff is datamined and solved 2 weeks in advanceEven Quin's "blind++" that he advocated for was him just spending 9 hours / day watching content and planning passive trees and absorbing every small corner of the videogameEven those of us that avoid spoilers are inherently subtly influenced by this, and this also reverberates through the design process.This is what gaming is now, and you've already been psyopsed.
>>507303139XDpreparation it is then
>>507300884Nta but you are hilariously retarded for thinking this is how it works and giving other people bad advice. Here's a tip lil bro: inc ele damage with attacks is not a local mod.
>>507295846It's funny because armour break + stampede is in the top 5 most meta builds and instantly clears entire screens on a low budget
>>507303191it's a common drop, just run it.

Did /ourguy/ elon really pay chinese botters to play his account just so he could brag about clearing the tier-0 tutorial version of the pinacle bosses?
I have never once, gotten a good item from the Gambling Store or the actual store. Not once. Not even gear that I've seen with okay bases, or even just white bases I've then tried to gamble on.I don't think I can do SSF. The game seems to fucking hate me. I even started making a collection of items for the reforger and after about 100+ reforges, I have never once gotten a single good item worth anything.I fucking hate this loot system.
The more I play endgame the less I like PoE2, Citadels are a hassle to find, Maps are basically just the same layout repeated but with extra useless deadends, mapping is just the same DPS and get max resses or instantly die to shitter white mobs, leagues mechanics were all gutted and the Atlas tree is shit, then to add a cherry atop of the shit pile Rarity on gear is pretty much mandatory otherwise nothing drops and crafting is shit so you have to engage in Trade.

>>507302747There is also the issue that they are almost indistinguishable from regular mobs. I've had people in groups attacking mine and wondering why they do no damage to them.

>>507303051You can have mine
>>507303763I can't do any mechanic besides the excavation thing with explosive because I can kite the horde of oneshotting mobs. I'm not even sure it works because it gives no rewards. Feels like you need to kill everything asap otherwise the event silently fails and you get jack shit.
>>507291880This is exactly how mine is turning out. I had gone for essences very early and realized that it did literally nothing. Respecced into the most intuitive feeling route and was planning on finishing exactly where yours does. Can't wait for a proper endgame when the game fully launches. The current state of it it so blatantly rushed together.
>>507303597>TradingThe economy is also completely fucked, so good luck with that
what the fuck am I supposed to do at endgame?I grinded all the way to T15s, those rarely fucking ever drop for me, I just end up working my way backwards with waystones since they never seem to drop a tier higher than what I'm playing.am I literally just supposed to repeat doing waystones forever so that I can have the infinitely small chance of upgrading my gear?
>>507304283>am I literally just supposed to repeat doing waystones forever so that I can have the infinitely small chance of upgrading my gear?yes
Hey guys, I had an idea.If there is too much loot dropping because of magic find gear, why don't they just lower the base drop rate? That way the economy will be fine and magic finders can have their fun too.
>>507304283F E E L T H E W E I G H TEELTHEWEIGHT

give me any reason to not buff the rares on atlas
>>507304625I kept killing Rares with a lot of modifiers and barely got shit out of it other than them having retarded mods that are annoying to deal with
I noticed that the thread is full of complaints about some things and feedback on how to fix it. And it looks like you guys need to just play d4 lol. Melee? Viable. Minions? Viable for two classes. SSF? Best way to play this game. Off screen one shots? No such thing. Tries for killing bosses? Multiple. Same for nightmare dungeons. Build variety? More than PoE 2 for sure. Stability of game and optimization? Much better. I just don't understand why d4 bad and PoE 2 with all this shit going on is better? Better in what?

Why are gay pots and chests even in the game still. They literally gave us "chests open on warcries" during Wildwood. Just make it so running next to a chest opens it you faggots. Stop making me click on them while fighting so I stop attacking
>>507305267>funhaha lol
>>507304895its 100 times worse because its only 20% for one essence mob for all those points and 90% of the essences are worthless (you will never get a greater).

>>507305014Can you name a single game with genuinely great endgame? This is one of those things people will always complain about.
>>507305461mitigates EVERY FUCKING DAMAGE and its so easy to scale. Evasion is only great with acrobatics.
>>507305461bc one hits are most likely to kill you.
>>507305442That's not that bad, it's worse when it's Volatile Plants + Periodic X Explosions + Shade Walker + Evasive and Extra Crits
>>507305461The better question to ask is why can't we have life nodes if we get a crapload of excellent ES nodes which essentially amount to the same shit with a different name?
>>507305528yes. any game where the credits roll after you've completed the final objective.
>>507305528poe 1 pre-atlas when sustaining high maps wasn't a given and there wasn't some stupid boss treadmill
do final tier bases for weapons and armor need lvl79 at most?
>>507305461wont be for long
>>507305461ev is still better than block. Default warrior basically has to choose between the two worst defensive layers in the game.
>>507305267eh, i played other diablo likes to death and poe2 is the best one for now, waiting till they add more fucking content
>>507305267GGG made the game annoying on purpose.
>>507305813we've got weeks of ES being broken before GGG is back from vacation
>>507305461Because it's literally life and normal life has no nodes while ES does
they will fix this retarded loading screen shit when you open almost anything in the game right?right?
I want to lick the jungle sweat off of Alva
>>507301804(Some of) the PoE2 melee feels pretty good at the start of the game because:>The number of enemies on screen is relatively small>Enemy attacks are visible because there aren't too many of them>Enemies move slowly so you can avoid damage through positioning>You can commit to melee animations without being hit if you're smart>The damage you're dealing mostly comes from physically hitting things with your weapon instead of an obtuse gear/talent interaction which triggers a debuff which triggers a chain explosionMelee begins feeling shit when the game swarms you with things which give you no opportunity to play around the damage with any finesse and so gameplay turns into braindead damage trading where you fire AoEs at things and hope they die before you do
>>507306009oh you
>>507305461GGG plays nothing but mages and bowcucksI hope ES gets fucking gutted rather than life being increased. Let everyone suffer equally. I want Sorcfags miserable
>>507305817>worst defensive layeryou mean the most broken defensive setup from poe1 without the downside?
>>507305461CI removes chaos damage. ES actually has easily accessible nodes on the tree. ES can be paired with evasion very easily double dipping almost. Armor, mechanically, provides less defense against the big hits that you specced into armor to survive in the first place. Evasion has entropy ensuring you get hit eventually. ES is the only one that is really able to offer a substantial health pool for big hits. Stat stacking excluded.

Crit is so shit in PoE both 1 and 2. There's no weight to it so you don't even know if you got one unless you're playing like bleed or poison and can see the DoT dealing more damage. And the goal should never be 100% crit nor should it even be achievable because again there's not special about getting a crit when it's just guarunteed on every hit.

Witch hunter is a retarded concept for a game in which you spend 99% of your time fighting mixed mobs. What's the fucking point of specializing in magic enemies specifically? You gimp all your defenses to get a shitty barrier against elements and then die against everything else that's on screen.

I think that I finally figured out why I can't enjoy poe. I enjoy playing difficult games but I just never could truly enjoy poe, it just doesn't feel mentally stimulating in any real way. The trick here is that it isn't hard. Never was intended to be. It's a casual chill game for wasting some time. But people have to meme it as a hardcore game so that they can cope about their addiction to mobile phone tier skinner box mechanics.

>>507309225>goofy unintuitive scalingThe scaling is very intuitive.Evasion is entropy-based and is reliable.ES needs heavy investment in regen and regen start to be effective and it still makes you play very differently from how normal characters play.
>>507309287slow way: use trade websitefast but not always accurate way that requires learning a pretty simple program that runs behind the game all the time : https://kvan7.github.io/Exiled-Exchange-2/download
>>507309287You don't.You put it in a 10 exalts tabYou waitIf you instantly get 20 whispers, you put in a 20 exalt tabIf you don't get whispers after a couple hours, you put it in a 5 exalt tabetc.
>>507309483No the entropy mechanic means you don't get randomly clapped before you move away from the stuff that's hitting you. Think of it like a soft timer before you get hit and play it that way and it's good.
>>507309287Go to the trade site and search for all res and rarity with those roll tiers. See if you can find something comperable.
>>507309328it really is insane how much its missing. even more worrying is their decision making. its as if literally nobody learned anything from poe1. it's beyond baffling.
>>507309530id do that for free but it wont release until september at the earliest
>>507309275and you're the one who brought up a non-existent point regardless, the point that most of the replies you quoted reacted to.
>>507309530t. hopeful faggot
>>507308838Even in it's unfinished state, it's a really good game
>rarity so incredibly overtuned>yet loot so undertuned without it>rarity gear is now insanely expensive>trade completely fucked>switch to SSF>can't find any rarity gear with okay stats>have spent the last 4 days without a single upgrade>stuck at tier 4 mapsJesus Christ. I really hope Rarity find shit gets gutted. Also, they really need to introduce an AH. I was already sick of trade without the fucked prices. Just dealing with so many bots or people who never respond.Both have their issues and both have easy fixes. Fuck, GGG. Do fucking something.
just duped temporalis :)
>>507309530>>507309764the fuck are you smokingits earliest, and very much earliest at q1/q2 2026
>>507309763>it really is insane how much its missingI unironically believed everything is done and they just give us half of the content to not spoiler us for the release.>nobody learned anything from poe1That was the funniest part for me - history repeating itself. >CoC comes out in PoE1 - gets nerfed because too OP>CoC comes out in PoE2 - ...
>>507309530druid and javazon feb.poe 1 league late march. lol who gives a fuck?2 more classes may/june.thats my guess.>>507309902ohhh no! everyone will have stopped playing by then, once they realize this is just a casualized cashgrab. we all know chris retired and johnothan is on retirement subreddits.
>>507309861its just like D2. MF >>> all
how does poe 2 play on controller? is inventory still too much of a hassle to want to bother?
got a silly wheel shield unique, what do with it
>>507309902Perhaps you're right.I am highly certain that they will most likely launch a league before launch though and that they would not "wait" for their income just to fix a few remaining things.I think they'll go for a soft release, or rather that this is the soft release of the game and just infinitely work on it while rolling out fomo support packsWhich is fine honestly
>mf hateCan I get a QRD on why magic find is an issue?
>>507309964Jonathan l i t e r a l l y said ON AIR he has no idea what the PoE 1 team is doing
>>507309861isn't the best increase to magic find just playing with a friend?
>>507309964I remember coc being nerfed not because of its power, but because it was being used by crafting clans to crash servers and force rollbacks for crafting GG items for mirror servicing
>>507310071vendor for chance
>>507310108Gives too much loot in campaign and invalidates mapping as a viable currency-generating option, just like every other time it's a problem.
>>507309485PoE can be hard if you actually play it for yourself. Most people are just copying shit they found online and pretending like they beat it.
why aren't you making tons of $$ views farming on yt complaining about %inc rarity in poe2?
>>507310108bloat
>>507310234>>507310243
>>507310049Poe 2 feels very good on controller. Navigation with buttons feels great.>>507310125Yes but that requires socializing, and nobody has friends anymore. Please ignore the social menu for public party and easy grouping.
>>507309731Sure, but you can't ignore the implications of that and how it compares to other defensives. If you're going to focus on evasion as melee, you're functionally fucked. The problem with this game is precisely that you read your character sheet and think you have 80% dodge against every hit when it's not even that. You read there that your armor is excellent and you still get one-shot like a turd. There's block, but you're sacrificing a weapon slot and it requires huge investment to actually be good.And then you have ES which works against everything and has no caveats. It even has a crapload of damage nodes specifically made to support it (damage with full life).
>>507310049its about as good as it could be, definitely playable
>>507310110yeah thats pretty apparent. if only he had seen what they had been doing for the past decade.
>>507310108because its an arbitrary stat that horribly nerfs you if you don't max it out ASAP by not giving you any decent loot/currencies and vice versa
>>507310216Best zone to farm for this? The black chambers i assume?
>he hasn't got his temporalis yet
>>507310108people stuck in the campaign complained no loot.people not stuck in the campaign go to red maps. people who were stuck in the campaign think it's unfair that people in red maps are getting loot.
Do you think the dev that added the lionseye watch stairs is still around? I doubt it.The sad truth is that I'm sure they are relearning a ton of lessons they should have remembered from poo1. Game has like 12 years of history- how many people at your workplace have worked there for that long.
>>507310321Nope.Act 3 Cruel swamp at the very start.You just wanna rush to the camp with 2 guaranteed Rares and a Rare chest.
>>507310049I'm playing 100% controllerway better than poe1The only time I want to kill myself is interacting with the gem tab. holy shit please hang the guy who did this. thank god you can still use your mouse for some of its operation, but not all of them.otherwise, it's mighty fine
>>507310217How come? I'm on SSF and made it to lvl 80 without much of problem. In like last 10 maps I've died zero times and just try to do as big level maps as possible. For the passives I pick nodes that work for the skills I use and that's it. And some defenses on the way.
Does crit have any effect on applying a bigger poison?
>>507310108the only reason anyone cares is because it finds currency. nobody would give a hot gay fuck about gear drops.
>>507310108some builds only need a few stats to be good, and can stack rarity. other builds are starved for many stats and cant afford to have rarity on their gear. also it enables group faggots like empyrian to break the game and spawn in millions of divines
>Juice up map>Get in>No rares except for the bossFuck you Jonathan
>>507310574>he didn't MFmaxxngmi
>>507310108In its current state, it is essentially a mandatory stat that you are severely gimping yourself by not building. Even moreso in SSF.It is way too strong and it is way too easy to accumulate.It is just as bad as mf in d2 was, if not even worse.
>found 1 citadel in about 30 hours of mapping>there are 2 within the same screen of each otherthey're the same one, aren't they?
>+475% waystone drop chanceWOW
should I be using good maps on this or what's the merchant about?
>>507310621It had +150% rarity and my own 100% from gear and I got out with only like 3 regals and 2 chaos orbs
>>507310704>everything is a breech How so?
>>507310513only in that it delivers a bigger hit which naturally has a higher chance of applying, and magnitude of, poison/bleed
>>507310745No it has 0 enemies and you can buy only ONE ITEM so pricecheck everything
>>507310791The tower on the right has a 10 breach tablet in it.
When poe is in the background and I move the cursor over an open webpage in the foreground, the cursor's reflection glare is still moving on life/mana orbs.
>>507310032My dreams foretold of the following:>Late JanuaryMF tweaked, balance pass, few more support gems and missing spells they just happen to have laying around>Mid FebuaryJavazon + Survivalist (huntress)Spear skills>Late marchDuelist, Slayer & Some new gimmick shitSwordsAxes, but half-assedPoE1 league, but it's a simple one. "all of our focus is on poe2">Aprila small 1-2 week long test-league to try and keep the "hype" rolling.some simple shit like tempest or shrines>Early juneBig release, Druid + Templar, some few more ascendancies missing here and thereShapeshifts finally inConversion supports (50% of damage converted to X, cannot inflict ailments or some shit, massive unusable downside)First official league announcement for poe2, not all ascendancies, weapons or basic skills will be in the gameAct1-6 finally addedFlails will have weird strike skills with high range that are bugged somehow
>>507310529What build even is so stat-free that is can stack rarity outside of group play?
>>507310756get fucked
>>507310871it nows
>>507310884apparently spark archmage cause you just stack tons of mana (mana gives you damage and survivability) and get res cap
>>507310674>It is just as bad as mf in d2 wasSweetie, we're still trying to replicate the magic of Diablo 2. You make it sound like a bad thing, but that's exactly what Chris wanted.
>>507310513It has the biggest effect. Poison and bleed only care about your hit damage.Crit poison conc is one of the strongest skills right now.
>>507310745I wasted a red one and he only had low level trash
uhh bros didnt realize some of the soul cores are kinda expensive
>Keep wasting exalts to get a better weapon through crafting>Get only garbageI might just give up and look for something with 200+ dps on trade
>>507311043D2 'maps' took like 3-5 minutes to clear, not 20.
Wow, as soon as you start to use MF gear you feel retarded for not doing it earlier. I just got 110% right now, but it makes a GIANT difference. Basically every rare is dropping an ex now.
holy shit found cenotes for the second time
>>507291880>>507292221if you don't need waystone tier up why do you need quantity of waystones?
>>507310879amazing.will putin start ww3?
>>507311054So if I played a pathfinder with Snipe and +1 proj I could lay down the fattest dual poison to prolif by stacking crit/crit dmg?
>>507311215Yaknow, I've been seeing "people" post stuff like this for a few days now and I'm starting to believe it's 1 dude astroturfing.
when does srs minions come online
refute this.
>>507311197Depends entirely on your build. Some shittier skills have 45 minute act boss fights. And that's not even an exaggeration. Balance does not exist in that game, and that's genuinely half the fun. Fuck online service weekly patch notes and balance change bullshit of modern gaming
>>507311142up to 390 dps should be 1 exaltup to 490 dps 50 exalts>=500 dps the sky is the limits
>The Eye of Innocence, huh? Not such a fitting name, given that his gaze incinerated a group of townspeople. Nothing innocent about it.
>>507309483I think a bigger issue is the prevalence of slams. There are more enemies than there should be that slam at the speed of a regular attack for their regular attacks and evasion doesn't work against those.
>>507311142If it's a 2H mace, I still got this puppy.
>>507311378Um, there are no more 1 button builds anon.
>>507311378That was me during my cookie clicker phase so I really can't
>>507311286No, it will be inwarring between NK and Russia after the NK invasion of RussiaThe west kind of tries to intervene but has no clue what the fuck is going on
>>507311142how do you even search for dps on trade, i am too dumb to figure out the ui
MF is too fucking strong.Only way to play is Spark MF. They need to just remove MF from char gear.
>>507311541Search for the item base type you want.Set the max price at whatever you can afford.Search.Click the DPS button on any of the listings and it'll sort by DPS.
>>507311197>D2 'maps' took like 3-5 minutes to clear>ignore immunes and teleport to bossdiablo 2 was clearly not balanced for anything but single playthroughs, items like enigma completely break the game and runewords trivialize everything else. can we please stop using a 20 year old game as a reference for game design?
>>507311496I need a quarterstaff, but I have this as well
>>507311471>evasion doesn't work against those.with Acrobatics it does
Do we know, with 100% certainty, that Local Knowledge doesn't increase the weighting of one type of drop at the expense of all the others?Because the idea that GGG gave us a notable that flatly gives +40% more currency for no cost is fucking implausible to me.
>>507311536I still got my money on water rights starting the next world war.
>>507311291If you had built a big enough chance to poison on hit, yes Also wouldnt need pathfinder for this specific scenario
>>507311315What does astroturfing mean (no meme)
>d4bab/unironic Torchlight 3 enjoyer on steam friends list is still only level 44 after 137 hours playednigger what the fuck
>>507311679link to your YT channel?
>>507311471the idea is that movespeed is meant to be your defense, just get out of the way noob.whether that's reasonable in practice is definitely something GGG themselves didn't know when they released the game, we'll see over time how they rebalance defenses (including ES) based on data.
>>507311881retard
>>507311806he's enjoying the scenery of act 3
how the FUCK do you use meta gems??
>>507311315Yeah I thought the same, but i just googled it and it even effects fragment drops. Like, imagine killing shaper and getting 4 frags per kill cus you have 300% iir lol. So it might need a liiiiittle tweak
Can you have more than 4 icons on a map? I've seen 4 max.If you can't, then doesn't taking that "areas with bosses are irradiated" node reduce your chances of having more league mechanics on a map?
>>507312002you socket them firstthen you right click on the icon above the skill gem
RELEASE DUELIST NOW
GIVE ME MY FUCKING FROGS NOW
>>507311806lots of time looking at skill trees and mechanics tooltips probably. let him cook.
>>507311759bro just drink the rain
>>507311806My highest is 65 because I keep making new characters.
Exposure and Frostbite surely do stack, right?This here is -95% cold res, right?
>act 2 boss as citadel>zero damage mods>easy as shit>so much shit on the screen can't see one spike above me>hits for over 6000 damage (got about 6k hp) through all defense and res capAbsolutely love bosses got one shot skills that are barely visableGround breaking game design
>>507311719Actually, how much could I sell this for? I dunno how to price rares
>>507312002you slot them like any other skills and then support them with spellsthen you activate them like a regular buff, go kill some monster and wait for the magic to happen or not
>>507311797there are companies in places like India and China who will fake any kind of online social media traffic if you pay them.
>>507311759It will happen eventually, centuries from now America will bully Canada for all of their fresh water
>>507310513Yes but fyi it doesn't work with gas arrow because there is no actual hit (unless you're hitting with the arrows rather than just the gas).
Need 130 div to make the build I want.
>deli fog never moves out the start of the map>or it covers the entire map...>or it moves within 20 seconds past you at the MS of 50% expecting you to flicker strike everything to deathshit mechanic
>>507312135Oriana better thirst over him just like Piety didalso I dunno how good is Slayer going to be with PoE2 mechanics
>>507311054I wouldn't build around pconc because it clearly one of those things that will get nerfed to the floor soon. Same with corpseward boots.
*grabs /poeg/ by the throat*
>>507310879GGG aren't going to release stuff every month. it's going to be every 3 months between poe leagues (which will have record concurrent playercounts thanks to poe2 publicity). one class at a time is also unlikely, they're not Blizzard and know that literally everyone playing the same class at once is a terrible idea. it's going to be 2 at a time.
Yeah it's stupid you can buy item so much better than anything you can craft with just 1 exaltI should really be playing ssf on my next character
>>507312474POBBERS
haven't seen anything about druid, is he plant man or animal man or both
>>507312453Cyclone could be kino
>>507310879My beloved shadow twink when?
>>507312474I hope he gets a girlfriend and never deliverspob is the cancer that killed poe1
>>507312453WH is basically a shittier Slayer desu
>>507311291The whole point of pathfinder and poison effectiveness itself is stacking. A single big hit isn't going to do as much for you as you think.
>>507312178can't you test that yourself?
>>507311797Someone is pretending to be doing something/faking interest in something to generate interest/talk around a topic.
>>507311759>>507312150>>507312314It's already happeningWe're already in ww4
can someone tell me why MF is bad without saying muh economy?
>>507312474Poe1 is going obsolete any anyone who thought ggg will maintain two games going forward is an idiot
>>507312672I'm afraid I am to retarded for this. I wouldn't be asking here if I could.
>>507310879They've already announced druid and huntress are coming first
>>507312556Animal man with a touch of Shamanistic elemental spells like volcanos and lightning storms. I don’t they’ve showed off a single nature/tree/plant spell.
>>507312178yes-Res debuffs go into the negativePenetration only penetrates up to 0% as if the monster had no resistances.
>>507312593pob is the real game and mapping is just for rats who simulate the builds
>>507312701It's jewish
>>507312701>play SSF>have to stack MF in order to find shit/be able to craft it>play normal>need MF to afford anything because of zimbabwe-tier hyperinflationsorry but it all kind of is muh economy
>>507312213have you considered not using a build that fills the whole screen with extra effects? >>507312593anything that helps us tell noobs asking for free respecs to fuck off is a good thing.
>>507312701Multiplies your grind speed by such a large amount that it invalidates other build choices.Even in solo self-found, getting twice as many resources is a massive boon cause it lets you make twice as much shit.
CHoose Wisely
>He doesn't Vaal his itemsCOWARD
>>507312786Surely you have a direct 1:1 quote of the developers stating this and a source backing this up?You're not just randomly saying things right? without any context or proof?And surely you can just post it
>>507312752anon... bosses literally have damage numbers to the top right of their health bars
>>507312110>>507312263but how do i add skills to the meta gems i swear i'm not retarded but i can't add skill gems to my meta gems
>>507312886sorry but is like one less modifier on gear such a big deal?
>>507312701I think it's fine. It's mostly people who want to zoom and wipe everything effortlessly who are bitching. You're now supposed to strategically pick what you want to restrain in your build to maximize profit.
bros...
>>507312259you go to poe2 trade and look for other weapons equivalent in DPS, it's that simple.
>>507304283Why is this the first ARPG for so many people here. I bet these are the same people saying the campaign is fine in length.
>>507313086sorry we can't implement the cube because...we just can't hahaha!
>Vapid oversimplification of the result to bait a replyNo.
>>507313086dont do it...
Are they going to make flasks with +quality disassembleable or do I just sell everything?
>>507313025put the skill gems in the support gem slots anon
>>507313081yeah seems like some sour grapes type of shit going on here
>>507312882I'm not using a build that covers the entire screen, I'm a monk. The small spikes are incredibly easy to miss. Something that small and hard to miss should not deal that much damage.Either way I got another citadel and destroyed the boss so fucking fast when the shit design doesn't use shit mechanics that you can't see
>>507312789oh.. guess I will have to wait for templar to go old man with stick route
>>507313086>>507313147>Kanai Cube in poe2>Lets you absorb/annoint a single unique item affix to your character>It can stackWell?
>>507312701invalidates uniques which reduces build variety and makes rerolling less interesting
>>507309861Magic find is one of the greatest achievements of mankind. I'm glad it made a comeback for POE2. Casual dads can fuck off.
>>507313081Strategically? Hmm do I pick 10% more dmg/def OR 100% better loot like what a chocie hmmmm
>>507313198didn't work, but i could add support gems to the slots no problemi even cut a new skill gem for some bullshit skill just to try and no dicei'll make a webm in a bit to prove it's busted
>>507312701>>507312848>>507312886for SSF, GGG just need to balance it so its less good than the value of a typical useful mod, and for all I know they already have. the issue is that the people stacking it are 90% in trade league and already have items which mean they will never die and lose farm that way, so the extra loot is always going to be basically a FREE efficiency saving. without players actually doing experiments to assess whether just running harder content with better combat and defense mods is better, we aren't really equipped to judge whether its balanced.
>>507312469The build is for sure going to get nerfed because there are several interactions with various skills that shouldnt exist but the skill itself will probably be untouched. You can always just pivot to doing a crit variant of one of the other concoctions and probably still manage regardless of what they decide to nerf.
>>507312701Game balance is bad (because it's early access). You have to trade currency for items (because there's no crafting). To get currency you need MF (because it triples your farm speed). To use MF you need to play Stormweaver or Deadeye (or else you won't be strong enough because game balance is bad).It's a lot of different issues coming together and encouraging people to play the game in a way that just isn't fun. Strong minded anons will resist the urge to play Stormweaver Spark, but more people are falling prey to the div/hr mind virus every day.
>>507313348If it's not a hard choice, then what is there to complain about?
>>507313482>>507313482>>507313482>>507313482
>>507313348if that's the question for you then you're already in a position where the gameplay is trivialized and you effectively can't die.
>Retard spacing multi-replyStop.
>>507312474Remember when they tried to monetize pob lol. Do it for free goyim
>>507312818What's the point of pen? There is a ton of passives with penetration.It would have been nice if pen was somehow calculated before all the other debuffs.
>>507313501True. Lets just remove all stats because its not hard to choose what you want. Give everyone automatically +life and +resists.
>>507313516Can we please have an OP that is actually Path of Exile 2-related instead of about some E-celeb?
>>507313646That's literally what you're asking for, just for magic find.
>>507313570Bro even when playing campaign its so easy you can sacrifice stuff for magic find. like whats there to lose?
>>507313763I am asking 1 stat to be removed not every stat. Not literally the same...
>>507313789>the campaign is easyno shit sherlock lmaobut its irrelevant to the value of MF that you got a slightly better ilevel 32 shield. MF can't be balanced around tradeleague, full stop. if you can buy items, adding MF on top of already giga items will always be possible however much they nerf it.
>last fucking map before I get kicked back to T6RIP

does penetrating quiver mean i don't have to put pierce on my skill?
>>507297668Axe gladiator is far better than anything with a sword. Bleeds tick higher and you get more damage against low life enemies.
>>507313457>You have to trade currency for items (because there's no crafting)upgrading white to blue to rare then exalting is not crafting?
>>507303191I'd save the low level ones until you have relics.

>>507314324>3 maps droppedWe are so back
>>507308925cope
>>507312213I think this was done on purpose, to make you hit the boss a few times and disengage (so that the game can try to pull some gotcha that hits you at range). Several bosses have one shots that are easy to miss if you are going all out.
