Does projectile speed effect ballista totems?
>>507643310women are not real
>>507638521PLEASE respond
>>507643354artillery ballista*I tried googling it and got very mixed results
>>507643354>>507643473do not play this skillif you want to play something that actually scales properly with +skill level play pconc
>>507643562what's wrong with artillery scaling? i'm killing t12 uniques in less than a second, they don't even get a chance to attack me, I'm more than certain I could push this to t16
>>507643473>artillery ballista*the only useful thing about it is that it aggro the enemies for a bit and gives you rage if you have the skill gem for it

>try to play mace skills>roll slam is just the best stun generator so far and spammable aoe>even it is clunky af>the rest skills are either extremely clunky or extremely nicheI fucking hope that sunder is a good fucking wave clear when I reach lvl31
Game hasn't been out for a week and already needs a full hard wipe + reset
how can we contact chris wilson about missing mystery boxes? THEY will not ruin wreaclast xmas
>>507643783b-but I'm having a blast
Charges system is unnecessary complicated and hard to comprehend and use for a new player.>here is the skill or weapon that mention charges>no, we won't explain shit on top of that>there is some single passive node among 1500 that turns one thing into charges, good luck finding it out on your own and get how to use itFucking AIDS of system implementation
>>507643914I've played Warrior 3 times. Gotten my main Warrior to T15's. The other two were testing the other Ascendancy (Warbringer) and playing a meme build. Which I didn't care for.Rolling Slam is the best leveling skill.Spec for Stun and AOE.Put Devastate and Armor Explosion in it, also AOE size or more stun power.When you get Perfect Strike, put timer and heft in it. These two skills alone will let you slaughter the campaign until you get Stampede. Ignore Sunder, it's a meme and adds over 1 second on your skills. It's shit.You can get a passive Shattering Blow, once you get this, get rid of Devastate. Then get Breakage and Pile On (plus the two higher dmg nodes under it). With the surrounding AOE nodes, Devastation, Reverberating Impacts, Impact Area, Impact Force, you should be at the point by level... 40ish where you are wiping entire screens with a single Stampede. It's tempting to play Giants Blood, but that's a noobtrap. Use Weapon Switch Passive Switching on a Greathammer with Hammer of the Gods. One-hander and Shield is much, much better.
rangerbros how the fuck do you not go oom all the time?
>>507644304lol
Just did the 4th ascendancy and I can 100% confirm that Ultimatum >>>>>>>>>> shit >>>>>>>>> trial of garbage

>D4- has evadeslop>PoE2- has rollslop>D4- has simplified crafting mechanics (deeper than poe2 lmao)>PoE2- has simplified crafting mechanics (you just slam lmao)>D4- soulless repetitive endgame>PoE2- soulless repetitive endgame>D4- nerfs most fun builds in early access>PoE2- nerfs most fun builds in early access>D4- listens to r*ddit and panders to the casualization of the game>PoE2- listens to r*ddit and panders to the casualization of the game. Reminder that the Sanctum is literally baby mode because Jonathan and GGG listened to r*ddit whiners.>D4- dungeon objective: Kill All - usually a medium sized dungeon and actually helps you at the end by teleporting at your location.>PoE2- dungeon objective: Kill All Rares - large sized dungeon. You'll have to search for the last rare lol.>D4- to fight a pinnacle boss you only need several mats which are easy to obtain. You can retry several times.>PoE2- to fight a pinnacle boss you have to do 100 maps. And you only get 1 try. Truly the Dark Souls™ and Elden Ring™ of this generation.>D4- deliberately wastes your time by having a gauge bar whenever you do actions. Its been lessened but it needs to be removed.>PoE2- deliberately wastes your time by with the slow ass elevator in Ultimatum, super slow lever in maps (which you can't cancel the animation, hope you won't die while turning that lol) and the horrendous load time between zones - this should have been the first thing they patched instead they whack-a-moled everything that was fun.>D4- no magic find. Entirely dependent how much you farm, how much you spend time in the Pit.>PoE2- your character is scuffed if you can't magic find. Might as well reroll since you won't pick up anything with your non mf character anyway. Btw, GGG removed mf in PoE1 and made it absolutely imperative in PoE2. LoL.PoE2 gets a free pass for being a shitty game while other ARPGs are trashed for not being perfect. PoE2 fans are literally bootlickers.
what are the best flasks for life/mana? my life flask feels like shit to use
why does my delirium fog disappear?
>>507644572
>>507644631inc amount recoveredgain 0.25 charges per second.
>>507643914totem +earthquake pair well together for early game (one gives other bonus damage), i use totem + earthquake then spam auto attack while waiting for them to go off vs bosses/rares. vs regular enemies i mostly just auto and boneshatter, but i use totem if i need extra defences for whatever reason. of course @ lvl 16 i use warcry and perfect strike for bosses
Shit yourself.
>>507644721I find charges per second really underwhelming. it's one free flask use every 30 seconds. it would need to be an entire flask in 30 seconds to be worth
>>507644572D4 has more intrusive story system. making me wait 3 seconds for NPC to talk before im allowed to open the door = Bad, the devs use features like this superflously and its just annoying.
>>507644631Instant recovery and your choice of more efficient chargesCharges per second is good for campaign or super drawn-out fights, but realistically reduced charge use is going to get you the best value since it's the equivalent of getting like 30+ charges immediately
>>507644795i like it its exceptional against bosses.
>make first character>decide not to follow guide>got to around lv 30>got bored of character>made a different one>used guide>went back and looked at first character>realize how beyond fucked it wasI didn't know you could just click "show all skills" and look at everything and pick shit that would be goodHow long does it take to "gitgud" at building a character? How do you even decide what a character's main skill is? It seems like once you get to a certain point if you've fucked up enough it's just faster to remake the character. I plan to play Druid when it comes and i don't want to be following a guide every fucking league then again i don't want every character to be bricked at a certain point.
>>507643914>>507644301disregard this anonrolling slam is dogshit and basic attack is still better for armour explosion clear even after the nerfs lol
Didnt life flask have an explicit that regens energy shield too? I can't find it on trade search.
Softcore leagues only exist as parking lots for dead hardcore characters. If you're logging in to a softcore league for any reason other than testing a skill or boss mechanic, you're playing wrong.
>>507644974>How long does it take to "gitgud" at building a character?Not long at all You just need to get lucky or be aware of what already is good and what isn'tWhat's already good: Bow lightning skills, mana stacking archmage, stat stacking, hammer of the gods, spark
>>507644427damn that is a rough solution rofl, I'll hunt something though thanks
>>507644905thanks
>>507644974Read each skill, watch the video associated with them see which ones give bonuses to which. Once you beat the game and have access to most skills/supports you will understand better what to shoot for.I change up what skills im using as I level up frequently.
>>507645182So at the start of a league you just kinda randomly guess and if the build isn't good you just reroll? I guess it doesn't matter too much, I'm sure you'll quickly realize "this build is shit" and just reroll. It's not like you're balls deep in maps, realize the build is shit, and lose 30+ hours of work right?
Chronomancer or Stormweaver?i get that stormweaver is more damage but chronomancer looks fucking cool with the time stop stuff
So, the way i'm seeing the game right now is, you level with LA + Rod regardless of class and then just respecc when you unlock all the skills.I don't understand though why the fuck are we level-locked with skills, we could get everything by act 3 in poe1, but here we literally have to level ourselves to fucking 58 to unlock everything.
Path of mazed 2
>>507643874>one i needed has almost no infofuck
>>507645373you dont need to minmax to level, and you dont need to minmax to do low level maps with +rarity stacking for farming
>>507645454umm actually sweatie, you can level with gas arrow too. lots of build variety!
>very first trial>got greedy on the last boss and lost all honor>assume you needed another coin>spent like 30 minutes trying to farm one>went back and talked to the baba bitch>she just gives you another coin
>>507644572I know PoE ripped off almost everything from Diablo. But they still have a lot to learn from Blizzard.
I think in two weeks I've been ghosted for trades more than I have in the last ten years of playing this game man...holy shit
kind of comfy
Reminder
>>507645027No it isn't.
>>507645559>trying to buy something>DM 30+ people>not a single responseIt's fucking baffling that a game coming out in 2025, with trade, doesn't have that shit in game.
Playing D4 until this game gets sorted out. Thanks for beta-testing lads, and ensuring free players get the experience we deserve on release.
>>507643956Retard time traveler
>>507645352I wish you could watch videos for skills you don't have access to.
>>507645559this is something I've noticed too. trading feels entirely different compared to poe1, like there's little to no overlap in playerbase or something idk. at one point I even had a dude I dm'd respond saying if I don't buy it right fucking now he's gonna raise the price. never seen anything remotely like that in poe 1
>>507645373>So at the start of a league you just kinda randomly guessNoPeople had to do that for the launch of POE2 (And by people, I mean people that didn't have access to the betatest before that so people were already aware of certain absolutely broken interactions)Now you have a safe list of what's "viable" to leaguestart and a much bigger list of unusable dogshit
Poe 2 bad
>>507645651>>507645559Why is the trade system straight out of 1998?
>been collecting items with 1 or 2 good rolls to combine in the reforging bench, thinking it would combine the rolls into one item>but of course that's not how it works that would be too strong, it just gives you a randomly rolled dogshit itemwhat's this even for then what the fuck
Yellow chests should be guaranteed to be 1 yellow at least.
>>507645603Prove you're playing PoE 1 right now.
>>507645790Prove there a new Poe 1 league right now
>>507645603>phoneposter
>>507645718Don't they buff/change skills every league of can I be playing the same exact shit I am now in 5 years?
>>507645778it's for recycling bases that you want. you really thought they would put recombinators in poe2? lmaoooooooooooooooooo
>>507645469well shroud walker just ports them to enemies.you can cross reference the archnem mods with poe 1, i imagine most are similar enough to give you an idea. https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Archnemesis_modifier
Going on a trip soon, going to suffer poo withdrawals bros...
>>507645418What exactly is Chrono giving your build?Compare that to>any element can shock>any element can chill>better exposure>free arcane surge/better arcane surge
poe 2 bad
merc is shitwar is shitwitch is shitranger is brokenmonk is brokensorc is broken
>>507644572tl;dr
A new poe league is exactly what I want but I am actually afraid that they've literally abandoned poe1 or that every future league is just beta testing for poe2 features (like the currency exchange, rage changes, all of that)>>507645889Detonate Dead was basically unmolested for years as a "starter build" in poe1 but it is random what lives and what dies (usually driven by mtx sales on the skill like spectral throw)
>>507645704what an absolute retard>if no one buys it that means the price should go up??????????????????
>>507645884
>>507645861>I need some artificial carrot on a stick to enjoy my 10/10 gamelol, lmao.poser.
>>507645995the automated message I sent him defaulted ot chinese. I think that speaks for itself
>>507645536The first coin for both trials is free, after that you'll have to farm.
>>507645418go chronomancer and stack cast speed then get the 50% more speed for 4 seconds every 12 seconds, for the memes.
>>507645971swap merc and monk and you are rightgemling is a better monk than anything monk can do
What caused the shift from chaos to exalts as the primary currency?
>>507645590I bet he knotted that whore good and proper in that bed>>507646018The chinese and indians have exactly the same value system it's just that the chinese are significantly smarter on averagehttps://youtu.be/-1Mg4nXJ21Y
Would snipe charge 40% faster with this?
>>507644572poo 2 is literally d4 on release and right now d4 is a much better game
>>507645889Supposedly yes, realistically no.Some definitely do juggle around but others stay unnerfed/unbuffed for years for some reason.
>>507645971everything is broken and over tuned right now. ranger, monk, sorc are just easy mode to break with basic skills.
>>507646083streamersit's always streamerswhy else would divines be the "big" currency without a crafting bench to use them on for crafting lol? They're fucking worthless but they are worth 80 exalts
I have about 100 ex. I know i should trade it for better gear since i started struggling with the deadly evolution node on the atlas tree, but all i wanna do is find gear and slam them
>>507646171So how do people puts 1000s of hours into the game? Eventually you'll have used everything there is to use. Certainty people are spending 100s of hours in maps hoping for 1 more damage right?
>end of act 3 cruel>only just now noticed this tree even existsam i retarded?
let me change runes... please, god, i'll put up with so much other itemization bullshit if only you like me change runes. i hate having to upgrade in batches of 20 divs at a time because changing pieces will totally fuck my resists...
>>507646269there is actually a small niche of players that farm their balls off and rmt currency to the wagies who don't have time to do that
The biggest payout I've had in this dogshit excuse for a mechanic, and it's still a quarter of my average ritual in PoE1SURELY this is enough to get me something worth fucking anything in my 50+ runs of ritual, right? For the first time? Maybe?
>>507646314You mean all the chinese bot sites? I must be pretty profitable seeing all the bots spamming in EA already.
>do nothing >win
How do they fix crossbows? Other than weird reload bugs.
>>507645938double shocks alone is better than the entire chrono ascendancy
I just got to T3 maps. Do I just combine 9 T1 waystones everytime I want to run them or do I go farm T2 maps?
>>507646375those toobut you run out of things to do after 50 hours in poe2 after that you are just playing cookie clicker some people might as well get paid for it
>>507644974I got my yolo lightning monk to tier 8 very easily, but my problem now is i dont know what supports to combine to get god damage. Im stuck between 6-7k dps on all my skills
>>507646269It's fun and most people try multiple builds per league, Mathil alone plays like 10 builds per league. Though I suspect that number will drop in this game due to how long the campaign is.The autists who spend 500 hours a league on a single build are usually streamers and are getting paid to do it or are aiming for #1s like that delve dude.
uhhhh based roll? all good stats??
>>507646531hey bro spoiler mathil, jizzarin, quin all those losers play this game as their job they make thousands of dollars a month streaming this shit don't ever use them as an example again
>>507646396>do nothingthats for fucking sure.
>>507646404Crossbows don't really feel bad in late game aside from the reload bugs since you'll have enough speed by then that reloads are smooth. Probably they should reduce base reload times on weapons and adjust things around that.Otherwise it's just an underbaked weapon group. The good builds are perfectly workable but underperform just because their ceiling isn't as high as the competition, and it's to be seen if the game will scale down towards crossbows or if crossbows need to scale up to catch up to the immediate competition in bows. The bad builds are just really missing tools. Cold bolts can't scale, fire bolts have no payoff, and phys bolts don't have enough support.
>>507645971i feel like witch is the only class that is actually properly tuned, it's strong in the most GGG approved ways, requires heavy investment into very specific gear setups with clear draw backs that lead into clear strengths
>>507646531So this is one of those games you play until you hit a hard wall (tier w/e maps) and then quit until next league?
>>507646446Higher tier maps will drop more maps of a higher tier but it's all rng.
Diablo 1 is the only good arpg
God I wish Recoup was good
>>507646370well?
>>507645687This but last epochAt least my maps don't fuck over my loot completely and I can target stuff and basically build around any skill and still feel good about the killing process
>>507646632>looks at infernalist dominating HC ladderSure buddy
>>507646554>Evasion and ES splitit's mid
>>507646593Don't tell me what to do you dirty little nigger.
>>507646709I got >>507646705 and slammed the energy shield mods on (both)So it's kind of an interesting item but also not what I was expecting from 6k points as literally the only good thing in there
>>507646705it is good but not better than all the good stats that can roll on necks
weewooweewooi just finished my first t15 map ^___^
>>507646741Whats wrong with evade/es? Ghost dance+wind thing is amazing survivability
>>507644572Now that the dust has settled I hope we can admit that POE2 is not good and needs some work. So many mechanics exist simply to punish the player and make the game an unfun slog.>takes 10 seconds to pull a lever>1 death per map allowed>have to click a well for flask charges>have to run to a salvage bench>have to talk to an npc to identify>On shot on death effects >On death effects get hidden by the particle spam>Forced to play shitty maps with bad layouts>all maps are a giant maze or circle forcing backtracking>gem skills are streamlined to the point where there is no creativity>passive tree is bare bones and a huge downgrade from POE1>movement speed on boots is mandatory>rare find still exists>trade is still on a separate website instead of in game like the currency exchange>Whisper pings are too quiet and you cant increase the volume or change the setting like POE1Seriously hope they manage to fix the game by full release. I am already waiting for the next POE1 league.
>>507646897The game is fine, the only issue is you. git gud or uninstall
>>507646671I won't say most people but a lot of people have no issue doing all content every league, then once they've done everything they wait for the next league. It's definitely not the kind of game you play for the whole league every league.I don't think poe2 has them yet but poe1 had 40 achievements you can get every league, at certain points you got free mtx, so a lot of people would get the 36th and quit.
Cut the damage by 1/10th on all meta shit, add gems that give huge payouts if you use X-type of gem after Y-type or Z-type of gem, with different payouts depending on which order they were usedFixed your game and your combo system faggots
Actual problems with POE2:Rarity needs to be removed90% of the skills need to be reworked to not have random bullshit downsides like Rolling Slam and Sunder having +3 second attack times added to them Shotgunning needs to be removedBall lightning + Lightning rod needs to be removedArchmage needs to be heavily tuned downMind over matter needs to not be 100% anymoreCI needs to be removedES nodes on the tree need to be removed
>>507646942>git goodMuted/blocked/ignored
>>507645687>>507646720So you'll be leaving to your wildly successful generals and stop annoying us, right?
>>507647029thank you for a full list of streamer-approved opinions
>want to login to play some maps>vaal factory>mire>augury>log offfix your fucking game dumb niGGGers
>>507646960>It's definitely not the kind of game you play for the whole leagueAh I see. I've never played PoE 1 but people are saying like "You need 2k hours to make your own build", "You need to theory craft everything", "if you mess up your character is completely bricked". They make it sound like it's one of those second job type games. At that point it's easier to just follow a build guide but following a build guide every league sounds like ass but spending 40 hours only to hit a hard wall also sounds like ass.
>>507647091>3 auguries connected to each other
>>507647098the people telling you that usually are trying to sell you something
>>507647091>>507647179I like AuguryIt's easy, 3 levers and pretty much a straight lineVaal facotry however..
the TOTAL IMREGNATION and OBLITERATION of Lily's pussy
I've been playing since release and i still haven't beat the game
>>507647259>pussy
>>507647180So there's nothing wrong with just using guide every league then until you get a general idea of wtf to do?
>>507646897>not that much of an issue>poor design I agree, especially when intentional 1 shot mechanics are built into most bosses>not that much of an issue, you barely use them anyway>don't salvage then>you have scrolls>very annoying when not telegraphed appropriately>bad>questionable>questionable>mostly true>I wouldn't say it's bare bones but it's in the early stages>it was in poe1 too>true>true, however they have said they're working on it>not really a problem if you're playing the game
>>507647259impossible
>>507646126I'm 20 minutes in and this is actually incredibly interesting, thanks for the link
>>507647343>however they have said they're working on itin game trade would really take it to the next level. It's also make RMT easier since I can just throw something up on the AH for the amount of currency I bought and don't have to wait around for a pm
>>507647343>however they have said they're working on ithttps://www.youtube.com/live/XE3MAFGDzWw?t=15961sreminderreminderBIG fucking REMINDER if they ever say something there is a 50% chance its a lie>scourge "leveling items" lmao
>>507647324that is the exact opposite of what i saidyou do not need a guide at all for this game, except maybe a wiki/the db if you need exact formulas for any reason
>>507642018HOW GOES THE PROGRESS?? ARE YOU DED?
>every so often hear an explosion in my hideout>panic and check>it's my Crowbell petFuck you
Why does Shroud Walker exist?
>>507647475idk what pet or what is it but there's some sound effect I keep hearing in towns that sounds like a squeaky door opening and that shit gets me every single time I keep my doors oil like a man btw
Dying in a map in PoE2 genuinely makes me just close the game lol Never had this problem in PoE1 but dying in a juiced map due to a corpse explosion or just a misplay is absurdly punishing, so much so that I typically just close the game entirely lol.301 comments
>>507647483Never understood this mod. Does it just give evasion?
>>507647464So there are some skills, like on witch, that unless I'm looking at a guide I would never think to take. like raging spirits and flame wall. Is it kinda like cooking where you follow the recipe for the first few times then branch out and try your own shit? people made it sound like you just bang your head against the wall for 2000 hours and then you maybe get something half useable.
>>507647098That's much more the case with poe1, it's quite hard to respec there, here you just need to grind for gold (pretty easy to do, assuming it isn't unusably bricked). They've also managed to idiot proof a lot of things desu, it's really hard to go wrong, at least for the campaign. A lot of the time the only reason you're roadblocked is you haven't upgraded your gear (very important in this version) or you don't know the boss well enough.
>>507647560>Teleports behind you>Stabs youNothing personal.
Why can't my pet pick up and use the shop like Lost Ark?
>>507645938qrd on arcane surge i see it on the passive tree also i just find the time stop stuff kino looking >>507646068where do you get the 50% more speed from? is it chrono ascendency?
>>507647614Your pets should pick up gold incase you missed some
reminder to set your 1ex tab to 1div to sell actual garbage for far more than it's worth
Whats up with hyper inflation in poe2? Everything seems to be going to the moon regarding orb prices. Astramentis a week ago was 80divs for top roll, yesterday it was 170 and today its 200. Same for most of the stuff? Is it the rwt gold farmers diluting the economy with orbs or what?729 comments
>>507647687Wasn't the theory that orbs would be used and that would take money out of the economy. Does anyone actually use orbs this time. It's not like there's metacrafts eating up divines or whatever
>>507647687high IIR = 300 divs a day please understand
>poe2 has bad loo-
>>507647558I don’t. I get over it and put a new map in or tweak my build
>>507647445>the mod pool has been changed to be more appropriate Not quite true on some items, e.g. chaos/lightning weapons, but I can't really say it's wrong without knowing what was changed.>no we don't have lucky raresCorrect. Though we do have tiered rares now.>rarity has been changed and may impact it positivelySounds accurate enough.
How do I get INT as a Ranger? I'm reading a guide for a poison build but I need INT for Despair and Dark Effigy which I guess are Witch skills.
Post skill bars.I'm running totems and minions on an infernalist. It's okay so far. Going to add the chaos totem in act 3 and eventually replace boneshatter with HotG.Going for the infernal flame path to give allies in my presence extra fire damage when I have high infernal flame.
>>507647687>Everything seems to be going to the moon regarding orb prices. Astramentis a week ago was 80divs for top roll, yesterday it was 170 and today its 200. Same for most of the stuff? Is it the rwt gold farmers diluting the economy with orbs or whararity on gear is fucking the game over, if you didnt know rarity on gear also effects currency drops so augment is alch, exalt is divine etc rarity on gear needs to be removed asap lol as i type this another anon posts my point proven>>507647814
>>507647756You can't use your currency without picking up a bunch of shit. It's retarded..
>>507647565No, m8, you don'tYou hold Alt and read the skill descriptions and read around on the passive tree around where you start, and maybe play around with skills you like or ones you haven't tried yet to see whether they're cool/usefulAnd congrats you now have a functional buildYou see people mentioning synergies in global chat or here and maybe it sounds interesting and you look more into it and decide whether you want to shift in that directionLiterally the only permanent character choices are ascendancies and one sidequest in early Act 3, it is almost impossible to "brick" a character in this game
>>507647687item rarity is broken, not many items worth divining because mirror crafting sucks shit under this gay ass gambling system, youtubers made videos about astramentis (and the builds it's used for, stat stackers), there's a bunch of broken shit and ggg fucked off for like 3 weeks instead of fixing it

>>507647648>qrd on arcane surgeA 10% more cast speed, 20% more mana regen, and on stormweaver you can get 1% more effect of it per 15 mana (so at 1500 you're doubling its effect).Huge for MoM builds but you're probably not grabbing that second node unless you're stacking mana or have nothing else to take.

I've been using this bastard for the last 70 levels. when do I replace it?
I'm playing Glacial Bolt Merc, it's the only gameplay I've found fun and satisfying so far but I'm literally stuck at the Viper boss, she's not considered a large enemy so I can't make the frost walls explode on hit, she barely takes any damage if I force explode the walls with fragmentation rounds. The only thing that's deals consistent and somehow decent damage on her is my fucking basic attack which also takes a fucking long time, and by the time I get her down to maybe 20% hp I'm literally out of life flasks. Absolutely what the fuck can I do here?
Why the fuck is there no way to see item DPS in the game
>>507648209Freeze is based on maximum life iirc, so that's a pretty much perfect ES ring.
>>507648140I fucking hope so.I hate the minion gameplay, I've had enough of that in poo1. I tried playing around with Demonform but you need multiple uniques to make it work. It's okay in trade league but not in SSF. If you decide to use Demonform without the uniques then you're just maing yourself weaker since it removes your main and offhand equipment for like, 180% spell damage. That's nothing when you can easily get +8 spell level gems.Bloodmage is also really bad. Not only do you need to use life along with your mana the Life Remnants you get doesn't even heal you enough. The only real way to play it is to take Blood Magic where you remove your mana cost all together. But because of that you kinda gimp yourself some more since you can't take Mind Over Matter for more defensive layer. Right now I'm trying to play a bloodmage melee witch but it isn't really working out.
>>507648463I'm the crossbowfag in the post right above yours, and cruel viper was the only boss in the entire campaign to kill me. she just filters us
not everyone is SUPPOSED to be running mapsmaps are endgame content designed for the top percentile builds and players to be challenged after the campaignif your build can't handle it that doesn't mean there's anything wrong with the gamedouble that for apex bosses
>>50764820980 divs for the most basic, uninspired unique the ARPG genre has ever seen. I'm actually sad looking at that. This game is bald and now brown. Inb4 some brownoid autist lectures me about how good it is for MoM like that makes it any less boring and overpriced.
>>507648579Really? Shock + Lightning pistol just rapes her
>>507648463Explosive shot worked pretty well on here, and also worked pretty well on the entire rest of the game
>>507648584Maps are the entire point of PoE. You're brown and trying to gatekeep a game revolved around picking the right ascendancy and pretending you're good at the game instead of GGG being incompetent retards who failed at balancing.
Here's my criticism of PoE2 as a shitter>Tree is too sparse and travelling anywhere takes too many nodes>Assumedly they wanted to release on a strong foot but most skills are shit and are effectively traps that will ruin your enjoyment>Changes to support gems mean you can't modify a skill outside of GGG acceptable frame>There's a thousand nodes on the tree but they range from ok to negative>ES is just better than everything else but because of tree issues and broader design decisions you can't even opt into another defence option, you're effectively stuck with whatever is in your quadrant>Because of changes to damage conversion most nodes on the tree are generic making the tree boring>Everything, especially levelling feels slow>In PoE1 you can just vendor everything in PoE2 you have 3 different vendors>A bunch of mechanics feel unconsidered and basically useless, marks and charges (yeah it's strong if you're monk under the one working condition)
What are the chances warrior receives buffs?
>mana on kill jewel>mana on kill quiver>mana regen rings>mana still gets absolutely rapedthis is not fun
>>507648881>so close to quadsnever im afraid
>>507648881It would require GGG to change how mobs work and swallow their pride about life on the tree. They will probably just nerf ES instead because fuck it and fuck you.
>>507647470the game crashed and so did my health bar, im back up to 10 this is the run for sure
>>507647029>Rarity needs to be removed100% Agreed.>90% of the skills need to be reworked to not have random bullshit downsides like Rolling Slam and Sunder having +3 second attack times added to them 100% agreed.>Shotgunning needs to be removedShotgunning isn't bad, it just need to be balanced with that in mind or certain skills shouldn't allow it at all.>Ball lightning + Lightning rod needs to be removedAgain, simple balance issue. Not a real issue.>Archmage needs to be heavily tuned downAgreed.>Mind over matter needs to not be 100% anymoreDisagree. Just make other defenses feel the same.>CI needs to be removedDisagree. That's a bad opinion.>ES nodes on the tree need to be removedDisagree.Most of the issue with defense are mostly just because one side has stuff going for it, while others don't.
>>507648907Get the -10% cost reduction and 18% cost as health node from the Warrior area. When I had issues that was my big solution
>>507648881100%, i remember earthquake in beta had 3s delay, don't know what the retards at GGG were smoking when they increased it to 4s delay while the numbers stayed dogshit

>>507648907I run Alchemist's Boon on my character
finally unpoorfagged myself and got a decent 3 charm slot beltcan you use multiple of the same type of charm and have them stack? like can I just run 3 rarity charms?
>>507649123People aren't even sure if rarity charms are working or not. ASSUMING they're working, they don't all roll at the same time for +60 rarity from the same rare mob. They roll one after another. So while (IF WORKING) still fine, it's not a gigaboost.
>>507647687Orbs outside of exalts are pretty useless. Crafting is dead. Everyone is hording the orbs because no one is using them.
Flame Wall.I used Magnified Effect and Concentrated effect.Did I just increase damage while reducing the amount of size loss or am I retarded?
>>507649050Browns need you to offer a full div so they can have money for food tomorrow after RMT'ing your div. The half div price is just bait you. Pay up, chud.
>>507649259what is your obsession with "browns?" you seem deranged
>>507649050i told none of them to sell to you
>>507649251Yeah basically.
>>507649193keep in mind, with the wording and how similar effects work, you won't get increased drops from the unique that triggered it, only things you kill afterwards. gold charm is only ever worth if you actually kill 1 rare every 2 seconds

If you stack thorns on EVERY piece of gear than can roll it + use bramblejack + pick physical damage amp on the tree you’re still looking at max 4000-5000 phys dmg per proc meanwhile most abilities do 15000 damage per attack in mid late mapsIt’s actually over thorns bros
>>507649323>i told none of them
>>507648584not true, in an interview jonathan(or mark idk) explicitly said that the difference between casuals and no-lifers is 1 to 1000 and that they want to reduce it to 1 to 20 or something so no, they really arent
>>507649397I'll be your friend.But I'm completely new to the game and I'm playing SSF.
>>507649426holy shit
>>507649467The Thorns Ascendancy will drop and its gonna be Meta for 2 months till it gets nerfed into oblivion
>>507649467One of the STR classes will probably get some thorns related ascendancy nodes. Now mind you I don't think that'll actually make thorns good, but it might make it usable. Something like "your attacks add your thorns to damage" with a small node leading up to it that increases thorns damage by 20%
>>507649397Your friend is correct. I play SSF but I'm probably gonna quit soon too. Rarity being basically necessary turns everything I do basically pointless. I haven't found an upgrade in days and I've been using all the tricks I can, filtered for bases that are good, slamming everything for decent bases, reforging those that aren't, trying again, everything.But I simply don't get enough currency to make it work, because the game seems balanced around MF. And I can't find decent gear with MF. I've even started looking for gear that is slightly worse, thinking I'd just go down in map tier a few times because MF is more important, but I can't even find that.MF and it's consequences have ruined the game for me.
>>507648951Can't they just make armor less fucking dogshit?
>>507649397me im that friendIt's not fun especially when I see these 1div rare items have been rotting in infinite stash spaceyou cannot monetize stash space in a trade oriented game people should have limited stash space to prevent this issue of hording virtual shit
>>50764942540% more and 50% less effectively cancels each other out.Try Cascade btw.

>>507649584>inb4 it is D3 crusader 'thorn' build you cast nukes that scale off thorn value
>>507649608Damage spikes are so insane in this game that you will run into a pack of mobs and explode instead of exploding the mobs. If you do explode the mobs, you will still die to on-kill effects. There is no hope for this playstyle and it shouldn't even have dev time wasted on it.
>>507649412d4 necro is hotter
>>507649662She cutehttps://www.artstation.com/cg-sister
>>507649642Or GGG should quit being lazy niGGGers and add an auction house and not just for currency exchange. People should not be able to list an item and go "tee hee, it's actually double, no quadruple the price now." Learn how to price your shit or pay the price should be the philosophy. If you undersell something, boohoo and figure it out instead of wasting everyone's time.
>>507649631Honestly my assumption has just been that armour is balanced around things in development that didn't launch with the EA because I think the devs are stupid enough to make that poor judgment but not stupid enough to totally fuck their formula knowing it was already a weaker layer in PoE1. Like it goes too hard for their intentions with uniques that're missing their bases like lightning coil or there's a phys reduction permanent effect in act 4.There's a lot of shit floating around that's "wow this sure would be good if X existed" in general. The merc side of the tree is absolutely littered with dead nodes that don't play with anything yet.
>>507647558i mostly play hardcore but i honestly agree that they should let you go back into the maps after death, have it close your portals or something but you have 8 basic portals to try, and just lose XP on death, so leveling up to 99 is actually an achievement most wont bother with, like D2.
>>507649883Jonathan specifically said in dev interviews that getting armor is going to be a lot more meaningful even at lower amounts and the system will be less convoluted. He either lied or they just never got around to actually making changes.
>>507649915I think the 1 portal per map thing is the thing GGG is most likely to cave to popular pressure on. I've never seen a single person that thinks it's reasonable, especially for citadels and map bosses that take hunderds of maps to get a shot at.
>>507649846If you're into the FtM look I guess.
>get messaged for an item>guy just sits in his hideout waiting for me to come to him>quit party>he messages me again>ignoreAre these cunts retarded?
>Can't put the same type of support game on more than one of your skills.Kind of retarded.
>>507650096hello newfriend, or oldfriend with bait.
>>507649915Dying in maps frustrates me the shit out of me. I've lost 3 divs worth to it now. Lost one to an explosion I didn't see underneath CHEST FOG and then died in a profitable breach, wasn't picking things up because breach isn't normally a danger for my build, because I thought a gap in the map geometry was traversible. It was not and got me stun locked to death.The thing is though, I'm also aware that they can't cleanly remove it right now due to how the rest of the mapping system is arranged. The entire system relies on failure states to function and just one extra life makes it infinitely easier to progress.
>>507650026People will quit playing before they grind another 300 maps to get a single attempt at a difficult boss with one shot mechanics. You would have to be the ultimate masochist to put up with that.
Chinks ruin every game they touch, I wish the firewall was still up
>she posted thiswhat's that between her legs?
>>507649883>>507649968Were possibly just on an older game client. Games Journo review copy was 110gb, but the client we got was only 80gb.They cut 30gb of something 2 weeks before release.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCd877E54i0I knew the music on Zarokh's fight sounded familiar.
>>507650026They could just reset the boss HP on death but keep the 6 portals. Not sure why they went with the one portal one death thing.
>>507650253I'm not going to you if you want something. You come to me, you retarded faggot. I'll just sell it to the next person.
>>507647412u welcum saar
Why the fuck can't Demon Form use unarmed skills? I feel like every time I have a semi-workable idea that won't even go anywhere good I get slapped down by the rigid as fuck weapon locked skill system, or some other mechanic that just doesn't work the way you'd expect.
>>507650307fucking hell i forgot the image
>>507650417I mean, the entire premise of video is him talking about how dogshit india/indians are. he probably hates them more than you or I
>>507650185If you put the exact same supports on every ability is it really a choice at that point?Those supports may as well just be baked into the ability.
>>507650505>If you put the exact same supports on every ability is it really a choice at that point?This is the games problem not mine lol
>>507648584This is what chris thought for a decade and high tier maps were a rare thing and it was shit. People used to exalt their maps. It's so hilarious to make it difficult to actually play the game. I remember not being able to progress and running maps i would run a deficit, i would quit the game at that point. The game was best when t16's were free and it literally took like 8 years of nagging chris to get that outcome
>>507648584you don't get it though, I AM THE APEX
>>507650397I think that'd be a good change just for boss fights at least.I got the audience with the king from ritual this week, and sold that shit for 8 div without giving a moment's consideration to actually doing the fight myself. How retarded would I have to be to try some boss I've never even seen before and almost certainly die learning the fight when I can just sell it?
>>507650452>That heavily photoshopped image.Just sad at this point.
>>507650452penis
>>507650185>>507650505Personally I like the decision and the whole new gem system in general. I'm dooming on most of the regular topics but this is the only one that I consider a total improvement.My problem though is that we really don't have enough supports. They want us to use multiple abilities but the current lack of support gems means that the absolute best builds are all the ones that can get the most value of a single well supported skill gem just like PoE1, or the ones with a lot of coverage that can all trigger each other... just like PoE1.
TS_Larry is a...
>>507650505Purely mathematically speaking there's more build diversity in being able to put the same modifier on more than one skill than on only one. How would it still not be a choice? Just because I prefer to have all my projectile skills have faster projectiles doesn't mean someone else wouldn't want them to scatter or chain or pierce. You're telling me that if I want Concentrated Effect on my Flame Wall and my Fire Bolt that I'm not making my choice? I think you came up with your sentence on the fly because you thought it sounded good but didn't really consider the implication before saying it.
Can you orb of chance into ingenuity or is it strictly a king in the mists drop?
>>507650397No! When you die you should lose your experience, the map, the boss key, the hours it took to generate the boss key and future hours it takes to find the new fragments. There should actually be more penalties. Jonathan should come to your house and kick you in the dick and also you should no longer be able to log in for 24hours (death timer)
>>507650309that makes too much sense and it makes me upset
>>507650827
>>507649397Most ppl quit and are waiting for the MF+Maps+Armour fixes
>>507650827boss only drops cannot be chanced
Outside of Infernalist's life reservation points, how else can you reserve life (for low-life purposes)? I am aware of the Coward's Legacy belt, so you are counted as low-life at 75% life, too.

How do you "fix" MF without removing it from the game?
>>507651120I don't watch their stream but that statement is objectively retarded doesn't matter who said it. I could see if you had one and only one modifier that increased damage, then yea, theoretically everyone would go for that for every skill. But when you have modifiers that affect ability behavior then restricting it is moronic. If they decided to categorize abilities as primary/secondary/tertiary or attack/cast/channel, etc... and then they limited it to one use per category it would be a different story. But as it stands it's an asinine choice with a moronic justification. if it was just you saying it, then it could be dismissed as you just rushing to make a counter argument. If it was a dev that said it, then it is significantly worse because they're essentially saying it as a cope to justify a moronic decision they dont' have the balls to walk back on know it is wrong.
>>507651254but they'll buff armour.. right?
>>507651467Just don't make it affect currency?
Would anybody be willing to explain to me how this ability works?
>>507651467Make it work like poe1 rarity where it gives you more rares/uniques but doesn't impact currency drops. That way it still """does""" something but everyone can just ignore it.
>>507651330Nah, but this is still the best deterministic farm spot if you need to get exalts or gear upgrades before starting maps.Good for SSF.
>>507651254Stop nerfing things and start buffing things. I don't care if electrical boogaloo shit is OP. I want Warrior to be that OP too

Yooo dis good?
Kinda want to respec just to have this on my back.
So, when are they nerfing EB + MoM?
>>507651545>summon totem for 100 spirit>summon another totem for 100 spiritWhat's hard about that?
>>507651814They called armour explosion a glitch and honestly that makes sense to me, even though I don't think it was problematic at all.Man, did a single build emerge from the last round of buffs? I guess infernalist chaos DoTs? But that's Mathil playing it so I'm not sure it's even practical without overinvestment.
>>507651545You stack spirit somehow to make more totems instead of increasing totem limits through other ways. This keystone does not work with Matsya, in case you thought that maybe you could have more than 5 totems.
Are there campaign layouts uploaded somewhere?
>>507651926>They called armour explosion a glitchIt's not, and was not a glitch. If it was a strong enough hit to stun enemies then it worked.Watch herald of ice doing the same thing not get nerfed even though it functions the fucking same because their sacred cow bow classes get to abuse it
>>507651545The only thing I can think of is witch with the bombarding totems. But how many will you be able to summon in the end, three? Might be worth a shot. Guess that's going to be my next build.
>>507651467make it not work on currency
>>507652042only barely functional adbot 'wiki's, yes. And they'll probably have the same 66% accurate info in their articles for the next 10 years.
PoE 2 is a pure RMT slop like WoW classic. The game is designed with RMT in mind. GGG forces you to use trade because SSF doesn't have any SSF specific buffs and gives you nothing except cock and ball torture. And if you accept their rules and play in the trade league, you will not have any progress without RMT. If you play PoE 2 for 3-4 hours of free time after work, you will never achieve anything without playing this game for 3 months every fucking day.

>>507652258>make everything take so longWhat? You can get to maps in a single day. And get to t10 by the middle of the next day if you're competently built and have only slightly less than ok loot.

Something is wrong with my game. When I run tier9-10 maps, I get no waystones dropped.When I run tier 4-5, I get like 4 of them each run..
>>507652312Actually I should specify - I only specifically tested it with Shockwave Totem. Given that there's no fuckin reason at all it shouldn't work, it may work with the chaos totems or ballista stuff. I have no idea why it doesn't work in the first place so anything's possible.
uhhh, was I being propositioned?
>>507652525Are you just realizing you're bad at these kinds of games?
>>507652335that would just make class balance problems worse, which is the stated reason so many "content creators" say it should be axed.
I gotta level my sorc faster, spark leveling is the most obnoxious thing there ever wasEven warrior was more fun and faster
>>507652248I'm not your bud, friendAlmost any videogame is meant to be beaten. For poe the final goal is to kill the pinnacle boss. It's impossible for common players without spending all of your free time in that game. Or without RMT. I'm not saying it's a good or bad thing, I'm just saying this game isn't for casual normie players as it was advertised. Casual normie players can only be paypigs in PoE 1 and 2.
>>507651545>>507652439Yeah, this shit is balanced around the assumption that 6 acts are out and characters have the 180 base spirit that we were promised. It's total garbage as it is.
>>507652506There are. For herald and minions

>>507650505>is it really a choice at that point?Is it really a choice if you're being forced to make it?
>>507652347Start mapping right now and let's see how long it takes you to complete an arbiter set
>>507652624It being removed from gear completely eliminates the class disparityAtlas prog is atlas prog even without rarity having all of your atlas points is better than having 0
>>507645790
>>507652587It probably gets overwritten by the definition of the node. It states they reserve 100 each. Not their mana cost as spirit or some other secondary conversion that could vary.
>>507652186SSF is for cuckolds. No idea why people meme themselves into believing anything else. Not even sure why you even need that mode and not just play trade league without trading.
>>507652702>180 spirit>still worse than base totem + overabundanceno the keystone is just awfulthey need to make it 50 spirit per totem or it straight up is not worth using
What the fuck?
>>507652872Yea, why play hardcore when you can just delete your character in tardcore?
>>5076529012h Witch
>>507652785>sorc can stack more MF because doesnt need as many stats to clear high maps>therefore sorc is the go to starter char (in the EA beta, btw)>Solution? remove MF from gear, add it to higher lvl content>only sorc can do higher lvl content with low investment>therefore sorc is the go to starter char >this is different from having MF on gear because now shitty classes literally cant get it and then farm lower maps for good results, lol get wrecked noobs!!!???
how can y ou tell what items normal items can possibly turn into using orb of chance?
>>507652901It's just one of those things where the supporting stuff isn't in the game yet. Templar in PoE1 used to use effects like that a lot for their take on minion builds where they summoned minions by beating the shit out of people. Mercenary/duelist is also getting a minion tree so they'll both be close enough to path into maces.
>>507652872It's a streamer mode. It's playable for streamers because they have hidden item rarity buffs.
>>507653082look up the list of uniques
>>507652820You're probably right, though that makes the node itself completely fuckin beyond useless if it literally cannot be worked around at all. Unless some templar ascendancy is>Gain 500 spirit, spirit cannot be used for buff skills or undead summonsor some shit.
Sorc sounds like some old granny
>>507645626rolling slam is the shittiest and worst mace skill, you are legit griefing yourself and others by saying otherwise.the best leveling setup for warrior from lvl 1 to lvl 100 is currently mace strike and boneshatter combo.if you wanna do fancy things like eq you can do it but it will be janky and slow.stampede is meta because it offers mobility and damage in one skill but it's shitty to use. you get stuck in mobs and it takes a while to get used to it. also you get ragdoll and pushed by mobs mid stampede or just straight up stopped.I am playing dual 2handers mace strike avatar of fire. it double screen clears and use single target swap for bosses with perfect strike which for some reason one shots them.the only thing I recommend is to not play warrior in the first place but if you do want to not enjoy your poe2 experience just go avatar of fire mace strike or stampede (titan each, the other ascendancy is a meme now after armour explosion nerfs).
>>507652872I play SSF so I don't have to see chinks in my global chats and in town
>>507652901add +5-7 melee skill gems on that bitch and it's be 80+ divs overnight
>>507653076if x class cannot clear atlas bosses there is a larger issue than mf
>>507652872SSF basically is trade league without trading except it has its own ladder. you can still xfer items between chars in SSF
>>507653076Just like your favorite game Diablo 2
Have any of you managed to beat the Arbiter? I've heard he's straight-up bullshit and typically I go in blind (like sanctum, ultimatum) but considering this one is a big investment I had a quick look and I think I'm just going to pass on it, bros. He seems to routinely beam you for a lot of damage during the 'run here in the little circle' phase, and then he has the constant 'stand in this line or you WILL die' phase which is very repetitive and any failure (of which is very quick) = death. I easily done ultimatum, sanctum, and citadel bosses but this one looks fucked.
I'm unironically thinking about stripping a few elemental damage nodes to become an attack damage and jewel degenerate
I just messaged the top 25 phys dps bows for sale under 3 div and not one fucking person responded, why is it so much fucking worse in poe2 than poe1
now spark leveling is finewithout these uniques it feels like total
no idea what this thing is worth, idk to what extent extra mod slots impacts price
>>507653251Of course you can. Or how else will Zizaran get his gear??
>>507652872it's fun building up your own character. how hard is it for these retards do understand that
BY GARKUKHAN!Instant alt+f4
>>507653307sorc was the go to in d2 because of teleport. if every class could tele like sorc at the start of the ladder then paladin would be the #1 choice.Gold find made barbarians actually a viable starter to do gold find runs.D2s strength in endgame was how there were many different things to run that had different resistances/immunities so multiple builds could be the best at something. even nova sorc was a viable starter if all you wanted to do was farm countess
>spending half your time in the game messaging Chinese botters instead of playing the game Imagine playing trade
>>507653076You're misunderstanding the problem anon. The reason certain builds have an easier time with MF on gear is that they don't need the prefix it eats up. They are not necessarily easier to gear than other classes, the issue is simply that they do not require an accuracy rating mod and therefore do not suffer for spending the same resources on the MF prefix. If removed, that prefix slot would still have to be replaced by the next best thing under the same rolling odds.Consequently, this means there isn't any substantial difference in progression speeds between the haves and the have nots.
how the fuck do people get +110% tooltip movement speed? I have tailwind and +12MS on my body, 35 boots, yet my MS is barely 60
>>507653631D2's strength in endgame was dueling and absolutely nothing else. What a fucking retarded post lmao
>>507653810ok thanks for the input retard
>>507653687Why do you specifically seek out price fixers to message them and get mad about? Sounds mental.
>>507653810You mean whoever was better at killing someone while being off the other players screen?
>>507652872What's the difference between SSF and normal? I picked SSF because I've no interest in trade or co-op. Does SSF up the baseline difficulty or something?

>>507654812i wonder what will they do due to the current exploit. The economy is gonna be ultra fucked.
>>507654837Yeah, I'm gonna see if there's a fun build with Detonate Dead.
When are duelist, templar, and druid releasing? I want more melee
>>507654762How'd you do that?
As I wait for the 83.92 gigabytes to download, I wonder how much of this is ultra-high-end graphics support that could be made a free DLC.Also, suggestions on tabs for my 300 points and quick-takeoff builds? My knowledge going in is "ranged AoE good clear, armor shit for effective life".
Where can I find Vanquisher's Book of Knowledge V?Still missing the last 2 points for the Atlas bosses tree.

>>507654964next are huntress and druid. after that possibly glad and marauder and last will def be templar and shadow
>>507655227I completely forgot shadow existed
How exactly do modifiers on Uniques work? Are Uniques just accepted to be a dead slot? Like, am I going to have to skip out on ALL stat boosts from gloves just because I need a Unique there?
>>507655213Does the Trialmaster drop it? Or should I look for the citadels? Haven't found a single one yet.
>>507652186You are not wrongIt reminds me of retail wow so far with how rmt heavy it is>Make content retardedly difficult so now people just BUY ascendancy runs>Make loot garbage so now people just BUY the gear off the chinksLiterally what Blizzard does now with M+ and overall loot drops.
>>507655295Yes.
>>50765529598% of uniques are worthless trash the other 2% are god tier and build defining
Detonate dead any good?I want to make a Witch. Because she cute and I love her voice lines.
>>507655335it's from arbiter
>>507655295It's okay for uniques to be shit because you can put runes in them now. This is a buff :)
>>507652236How do i do this
Is it worth regaling shit if I can probably sell it for an ex?
Xhest and Arbiter are not even in the same league of difficulty, how are they both pinnacle bosses
>>507655295That's the idea yeah. Most uniques are considered shit but honestly I do think there's a little of potential going on here in how a ton off powerful effects are stapled onto uniques with absolute shit stats that makes me think some of the ones that look bad now have hope of showing up again in the future on juiced shit.
>>507655434Oh cool, seems like I won't get him before the actual release judging by the current pace.
>>507655495Yeah, I just lost Arbiter now. The constant meteors that drop down and you gotta go into the zone. They started to spread out far, far too wide and I couldn't keep up, even with blink. 30% MS boots. It's such a shame of how insanely expensive (currency and/or time) each attempt is. I wish I stuck with what I told myself before and just sell the pieces, I knew it's a fucking waste, even if you succeed, it isn't worth it still.
>>507655369>>507655529Yeah but I have one of the build defining ones and it's not completely barren of stats but it's very mediocre outside of the effect>>507655441>runesOkay yeah that might be nice
>>507652347Now do it without picking OP 1SHOT SPARK/Deadeye BUILD like you usually doPeople picking one of the few OP builds are so fucking focused on themselves they fail to realize their experience isnt the one the people with an average build have. Game shouldn't be balanced around the outliers, which are very few in this of the game.
Man I am playing minions and they actually managed to make it fun. Actively scooping up corpses off the floor to become explosive peons and commanding snipers to shoot gas arrows while spreading aids everywhere is an actual blast. I've never had fun playing a minions class in ANY game before.
>Be Warrior>Act 1 boss deep dicks me repeatedly>Barely clutch it out when I finally win>Act 2 boss goes down in 2 tries after he gets a free win with that weird sand mechanic that I managed to skip the 2nd timeWhat am I in for in Act 3?
>>507655295I think the idea of uniques are to be engines for very specific builds, like the ES chest is the engine for EB+MoM, or the double poison gloves for pathfinder poison build etcThey’re not meant to be good pieces, thet are either vital or useless to your build
So are you just supposed to be fucked over when you no longer have waystones of your level?
>>507655669A DPS check
>>507655669final boss is a jokefunny guy who won't step out of lava if you're unucky might give you problems
Arbiter is such horseshit. Difficulty 0 and he uses the constant instakill abilities (of which he is immune the whole time too), yet you watch retards on youtube attempt him and they don't get it and can freely farm him down.
>>507651545I don't think enough spirit currently exists to make this passive worth a damn.
>>507655669Depends on your gear. Warrior is basically extremely heavily reliant on his weapon for most builds. Aside from Totems and Totems kinda only gets good later.For me - I one-shot all act bosses. Both in normal and cruel. Because I got very lucky with some drops and gambling. Warrior was the smoothest time I had levelling because of that luck.
>>507655642Yep, these people are delusional. GGG had one shot to make a first impression and if you dared to play what sounded cool to you instead of OP, cookie-cutter shit from Mr. Streamer faggot, your experience is tarnished for good.t. nade witchhunter
>ingame text: "refresh the contents of this trader's inventory to a new set of items appopriate for you character level", "Requires: Exotic Coinage">be level 77>get level 45 gearFIX YOUR FUCKING GAME JONATHAN
>>507655642Deadeye is the most active class by far, and the only reason it has pulled ahead is because it can sacrifice defenses for MF. It's not hard to play a class that actually utilizes defenses and just hammer shit to death all the way to t15s, what comes after is when deadeye really starts going full retard. Stormweaver is just flat out broken, yes.
>>507655712invest in waystone atlas passives and stop dying 10 seconds into a map
>>507655803The trick is to not attack him, wait for him to do a long ability and oneshot him while he's casing it (you need like 10 mil dps)
>audience with the king in ritual>buy it and use it>don’t get the belt>shart and cry
>>507655712Waystone sustain is fucking god awful but if you're of a lower level, which is the likeliest place to run out of waystones, you can buy tier 1s from Doryani infinitely and throw them into the reforge at 3 to upgrade a tier.If you're at a level where that's prohibitively shit to do, clear towards like a boss node or something with your shit tier waystones, maybe the 1s you buy, and then juice up your highest tier and pray for upgrades or at least a refund.It gets better later on once you have your mandatory waystone drop nodes all invested and your actual map nodes have a high drop rate but it feels fucking awful for a long time. Usually by the time you get to tier 13 or so you'll always have a surplus. They seriously need to adjust it.
>>507655848I am specced into it. I got 100% rarity find.I'm getting fucking low tier maps.
>>507655429DD blood mage is meta, it's clunky and somewhat slow but it takes very little investment to get it going and (apparently) it does very well against bosses later in the game.
>>507655973item rarity is not the same as waystone quantity sweaty
>>507655712Put your beginner Atlas points into Waystones and Loot Rarity. Waystones first, Loot Rarity second. Quantity last.Your tree should look similar to this to begin with. Once you are around... t10's, you can start to respec or change your atlas tree up.
>>507655669>that weird sand mechanicYou're supposed to stand near the chick. Sometimes she bugs out and is trapped behind the gate.
>>507655994>Blood Mage
it's over for pooe
Not one single boss in 7 logbooks why do i even bother
>>507654965Have 2 weapons.Make sure your minions are only summoned using weapon 1. Find a skill you want to use to summon your minions, I use Detonate Dead as an example, make sure it's also in weapon 1. This way when you use the skill it switches to your weapon 1 and since your minions are only summoned when you use weapon 1 they get summoned around you. Now find another skill and put it on weapon 2. And it's the same concept. You use the skill for weapon 2 and it unsummons your minions since you only made it so it's summoned using weapon 1.Played around with it and Incinerate was the fastest skill to cast so weapon swap then casting the skill was quick.
>>507655354>pander to bootlicker worshipers who spend all of their time and money in your game so they will attack anyone who dares to complain about anythingYes, GGG is Blizzards WoW Team
>>507655914
>>507656209Also works on an Infernalist. Just gotta take more Crit Chance nodes but the trade is you get more damage per explosion with DD and more brutes summoned.
>>507656225damnit anon you should've saved it for yourself. within 24 hours, some lurking content creator will make a video on this and then GGG will go off holiday for only long enough to hotfix it out
Im playing lightning/phys chayula monk:what weapon do i want for this, one with purely physical dps or also elemental? im a little confused since i convert phys into lightning to some degree, whats better?
>>507656225Very interesting. Wonder if we can do some weird shit with this other than the reviving thing of course which will definitely be helpful leveling my witch.
>>507656345>lightning/phys chalupawhat skills?
>>507656345Why would you play that ascendancy if you don't know what you're doing
there are no interesting builds eh. whats there to do in this game, shits old already.
>>507656345Your abilities convert from physical damage to elemental first before applying any elemental dmg modifiers, so you want as much physical as possible
>>507656209It's basically the only build that works on blood mage.15% base crit is pretty good.
>>507656472Do you think he'd have picked it if he knew what he was doing? Come on anon, think.
What's worth more, 1% all res or 6% msI'm debating where to respec 5 points
>>507655941>>507656057I am specced like that.So you're just meant to suffer through it..? I'd rather reroll as I am struggling to get anything higher than tier 6.. It's boring to run these low tiers, I'm also getting like 2% level up doing them, if I am to save my "higher tiers" for the bosses etc.It feels like I'm not playing the game correctly, that's why I'm asking.
>>507656485ok thanks
>>507656328Meh, it's a well known issue since they use the same thing for teleporting minions.>>507656376Forgot to mention, it ONLY works when you cancel the skill for weapon 2. So if the skill for weapon 2 gets off then when you switch using the skill for weapon 1 then it won't work. You gotta get the timing right.Of course you can skip all this and manually swap weapons.
>>507656557I don't know what to tell you anon, I've gone through three characters so far to t15 maps. I had no issue ever sustaining maps. My first two characters barely had any MF either.
>40°C tomorrowyeah its over...
>>507656557Waystone sustain is RNG as fuck and anyone who tells you it's fine is a dirty fucking liar, the same type of person who thinks three ultimatum fragments is fine because he got them on his first go, but it's what we gotta put up with it. It resolves itself later since even if you aren't specced into it your natural drop rate will improve immensely with map tiers but you just have to jump the hoops for now.
>>507656213is zzz better than poe??
>>507656759it's more than fine once you get to t15s, sucks ass till then. I have half a stash tab of t15 maps and I sell them to noobs who keep dying and can't sustain
>>507654553>>507654781i had one and i died ;-;
d4 is better than PoE 2 you can't prove me wrong

Boy I reeeeeeally hope that new classes come with a pseudo league
>>507657347filipino male
>>507657390>Will there be wipes during Early Access?>No, there will not be a wipe. We will do new leagues but none of your characters will be wiped, they will just go to a league called Early Access (so they will never be in Standard). In some cases characters in old leagues might be somewhat broken by balance changes though. After launch the "Early Access" characters will still exist.100% we'll get an early wipe- I mean league to reset all the abusing that has been going on
>specced basically nothing but damage>run out of path on lava boss at 30% hpI don't understand what GGG expect me to do desu
>>507657390well we'll find out next week, i'm betting on huntress + druid in a new league late january.
>>507657521you are aware that literally the entire economy is getting reset one way or another when the game launches, right?
SQUID GAME 2 IS OUT BROSGOGOOGOGO!!!!!!!!
>>507657631>>507657581
i got to utzaal on cruel and it's a massive difficulty spike what thef uck
>>507657601Yeah but that's a year from now. Do you want to play in this economy for a year? Inflation is not stopping by the way, there's still no proper use for currency.
>>507657521they already confirmed EA leagues and challenges, with content drops every 2-3 months.>>507657673buy a weapon upgrade on the trade site.
There are literally zero interesting build possibilities right now. In reality there are maybe 20 usable skills. the rest are cuck skills that do the bidding of other skills in this forced "use more than one skill please" system. its very dull and uninteresting.
>>507657390my prediction is that we'll get Druid, Marauder next big patch alongside act 4. Then we'll get Huntress, Templar and act 5 the one after that.Each will only have 2 ascends, the rest of the classes and ascends will come with full release alongside act 6.I say this even though Jonathan said Druid and Huntress are pretty much ready to release recently.
Little late but uploading an example of the basic gist of my rapid shot build for that anon who asked (T15). >warm up heat by shooting from afar, fire off some spicy grenades (+7% of their damage for the shots, 6% for the nades, x27 at max heat)>flash grenade has scattershot for extra projectiles and devastate to break armor on stun, I also have heat expose on stun >blast target with hot rapid shot (+70% hits against ignited targets, +80% against broken armor, +25% weapon elemental damage skill, +101% increased damage with elemental attacks on my lvl 59 advanced bombard))>when low, emergency reload (+44% for 9.5 seconds with support gems)>fresh clip adds 1% for each bolt so +80-90% damage for 6 seconds depending on your timing >sorcery ward stops random shit from killing me most of the time Anyway witch hunter is kinda bad, I get no loot because I got no magic find, I probably overleveled my skills, and I'm wearing a shitty unique helmet because I think the white feather looks fetching. Probably gonna stop at 90 and take a break until Shaman comes out unless a patch adds some sick changes.
What's your favorite league mechanic missing from the game? (I have not played PoE1)
>>507657673bild glass
>>507643310What's her onlyfans
>>507657803>my prediction is that we'll get Druid, Marauder next big patch alongside act 4.in march-april maybehuntress and druid were the closest to being finished with plenty of footage and were already playable in the beta tests.
Should I buy Vessel of Hatred or wait for a bigger sale?
the damage mace skills do, do not warrant the insane duration and lock in place animation they have.warrior also feel extremely squishy for some reason compared to other classes. standing still and casting a 1.4 sec skill wouldn't be a huge issue if warriors were tanks and could withstand the incoming damage for that duration.I feel like ggg needs to pick one or the other. if they want warriors to be squishy pieces of shit then mace skill animations need to dramatically be decreased. if they want mace skills to have long animations to instill some sort of weight behind these attacks then they should dramatically increase warrior defenses.
>want a jewel with 2 lines >the lines only exist on separate jewels, no jewel has bothwtf is this shit
>>507644301You know you will have higher 1h damage if you use a 2hander+shield with giants blood
>>507657964>warrior also feel extremely squishyuse a shield, people are getting giants blood and still using a goddamn shield, block is the best defense warrior has atm.
>>507657812I love Blight and Delve. Out of the leage mechanics in PoE2, I hate Ritual, Delirium and Abyss. I can tolerate Expeditions.
>>507658004Does this game have any decent visual game progression or is all the good looking gear in the cash shop?
>>507658128the shit in the cash shop looks like the most chinesium slop ever
>>507658128The armor and weaposn in poe2 look leagues better and distinctive
>>507658128who cares no transmog anyway so it doesnt matter what the base items look like
>>507657812Blight. It's basically a tower defense. Heist and Betrayal as well which are harder to explain. My really hot take though is that I enjoy Crucible which gave you special weapon modifiers and involved charging up a rock that would spawn enemies that murdered the shit out of you which most people hated.Hate Breach and Delirium. You have to move around so frantically and then go back and collect shit.
any spark leveling unique weapons?
>>507658082you're an idiot, honestly.
>>507658376considering the amount of time they're spending on uniques, permanent skin tranfers are definitely coming, for cash obviously.
>>507658128>cash shop>good lookingAll the MTX make you look like some some faggot straight from a pride parade.
So after doing maps for fucking 2 days straight up to Tier 5, I finally find a fucking item worth something... and its just a Greater Jewelers Orb for 33 chaos.meanwhile, people in tier 10+ playing that faggot bow build that wont get nerfed until the devs come back in january can stack fucking magic find gear to 300% and have it not even impact their one shot dps and have divines and items worth divines falling from the sky.Yes I am mad.
>>507658446no u
>Hold mouse button to SLOWLY spark mobs to deathReally

was there a rollback today/yesterday? my map has definitely lost a bunch of progress or do parts of it get covered in fog again?
>>507658673The final act 2 boss wasn't b ad tooHP was a bit high but it was pretty good
>>507643310DOG SHIT OF EXILE 1NO BOX OF EXILE 2
>>507658047Noob trap passive. 1h is for trash clear. You don't need more than a 1h. You don't need to stack STR on a build like this because +life is more valuable than +str unless you get certain things. It doesn't add DMG. Only a small amount of life not worth it. Makes it harder to gear. Just get base stats for your gear and put everything else in DMG and actual life. Warrior is also built for weapon switching. He gains a lot from that.

>>507658236Why do so many games sell on an aesthetic and then immediately fuck it up in the mtx store? Like I imagine there were teams of artists going for this dark fantasy Hyborian age shit and then the cash store is a ching chong hong kong trash heap with the most garish effects possible.
>>507645559if i'm leaving one of these giant ass maps for a trade it better be worth the time. the currency exchange also makes smaller trades rarely worth bothering with since you can just flip stuff to get a bit of the currency you want.

>>507645971>merc is shit>monk is brokenWhat are you talking about, gemling is literally a better monk.
>>507658819I imagine they have specific data on who buys what and how much certain items sell. And they've figured out that the biggest cash cows aren't gonna be you are me who might buy some cool, conan the barbarian cosplay, but Chang who'll buy Glowing Wings and floating electrical polls that follow him around while a gigantic retarded chicken baby smashes a bell every two seconds.
How autism would it be to play Gemling in SSF?
Is there any reason to not just turn all my waystones into Delirium ones so I can get Delirium stuff while farming other mechanics
>Detonate Dead scales not from Gem level, but from corpse life>This makes it the perfect spell for Blood Mage>Just stack minion health and use Brutes + Clerics to revive themKinda cool.Any other interactions I'm unaware of for making a Blood Mage good?
>ancestral bond is on the opposite side of the tree as all the totem passivesy tho. that would be like the equivalent of moving Mom/EB to the very very bottom line of the tree.
>>507659118Create a gender swap MTX and Blood Mage will be good
>>507659046Gemling is good on it's own. The best part about it is that you can be just about anything. HOWEVER, they're also insane with stat stacking, which is near impossible in SSF. So I don't think it's a good idea. No matter what you go, without the stat stacking components, you'll just be a gimped version of whatever else.

>>507659238nigger you've been begging for days >>507521662kys
>>507659326I meant using Delirium juice in order to turn your waystones into the % delirium version. The map is just perma delirium but you can still do other mechanics, only now monsters are delirium buffed so they drop more
What's the best way to farm jewels now that they nerfed it from the trial of shitmas?
>>507648463upgrade your crossbow? I leveled doing gas/oil/explosive grenades without the ignite helm, every time I could equip a new tier of bombard bow I bought the best one I could find for 1ex and sailed through the campaign. it's ridiculous how much power is in weapons
Can someone tell me why spark stormweaver is so strong?Spark as a skill is boring as shit and does low damageIs it just because they get more ES?

>>507656057this is the correct atlas
>>507659434hmm, i'm not really a fan of deli in poe2. poe2 mapping is strat is more like alch and go since the maps are so large and you're really just looking to finish and move on to your next juiced map. adding deli imo just slows you down with barely any pay off.
>>507659276>EV + ESWhy would you do that instead of stacking more ES with grim feast and investing all that DEX into STR for more health instead?
>>507659936waystone stuff is useless at your level of progression, spec out of it
>>507659760>>507659614No, I asked of the game has visual gear progression or if all the good looking gear was in teh cash shop.I didn't ask what you think about the visual style of the gear in the cash shop. I know english is hard and you're clearly retarded, but nobody gives a fuck what you think about style of literally anything.
dogshit gamechink infestationgrouping mfcuck fiesta
>>507659960I'd say it depends on how fast you pop the screen. I see no real difference in delirium, but if it gets me more overall it's no different from adding an extra modifier to a map
man there are like zero fun skills in this game wtf.
There are no chinks in SSF and HCSSF, come join us
>>507659258Either, here the flash grenade did it because rapid shot added more fire damage and armor explosion also does fire. Fire and oil grenade is also a guaranteed ignite, bombard shoots two and I extended the AOE to create a big patch of burning terrain. Herald of Ash is also nice.
>>507652136you mean dark effigy? I wanted that to work with radiant grief and blackflame but NO FUN ALLOWED. can't imagine it being smooth to play if you have to manually apply chaos dots on top of summoning the totems. the point of totem builds is pressing fewer buttons ffs.

I just got to cruel and my planned build only works at lvl 58 when I get required gems and I am fucking struggling as witch chaos dots.

so when does spark get good? as it stands it does shit damage even with flamewall and i have the unique amulet
Sorcery ward less evasion to 40% or protect me from harm to 50%? This disparity must be fixed.

How can people stand playing flamewall srs? The flame wall blocks all the visual cues from the enemy. Why can't they let any fire spell summon the max amount of raging spirits so we're not forced to play flame wall? I miss POE1 SRS where you press the button and it summons 1-4 spirits at a time with no visual clutter.
>>507662059he's not moving, he's attacking
>>507662263Flamewall also nukes fps
>>507662198oh, artillery needs levels that bad?i thought it scales off of phys and converts or something
>>507661965I can't run HoI efficiently but neither can you (in clearing mode you are only fire and shock with your 3 dragons)? I usually go in melee range since we're basically immortal so I took overwhelming presence and a bunch of +spirit support instead, but i did run herald of ash for a while
>% Damage while affected by a HeraldDoes this mean just having them active, or proccing their effects?
>>507662351NTA but the artillery ballistas don't scale off your weapon, they have a separate base weapon stat they use.
>>507662073i like augury and mire
>>507661940I'm sorry bro but you just can't bro.
>>507662263flamewall srs is unfun as fuck

>>507662472Don't fucking reply to me ever again.
>>507662491I haven't tried radiant grief but does the DoT on count a hit first to trigger decimating? Because I know that enemies who walk through gas or have dots applied to them before getting hit just never trigger decimating and waste the node entirely.

This game is so good when you take the SSF pill.
>>507663006>Blooming fieldsI hate this piece of shit map ever since I got packs of a gazillion miners with bombs.
Man it doesn't really matter since you can just avoid them and take different nodes but I can't get over how imbalanced nodes are on the tree for no discernible reason. Just small nodes with twice the value of other nodes, big nodes with barely any value. I get that it's early access and all but come on.
>>507644301>Rolling Slam is the best leveling skill.Stopped reading.

>>507663318>tHeY onLY hAD thREE monTHS tO mAkE iTmore like three weeks considering how fucking garbage it is
>>507660628I don't hate traps and mines, but I had the same epiphany while playing with grenades and it completely ruined them for me especially since they were promoted so heavily by GGG like they were some special, new playstyle. They are even clunkier than mines since crossbow reloading is so shit and you have to rely on explosive shot to detonate them. It'd be like if you only had one charge of detonate mines in PoE 1 that you had to invest into to not be completely shit and even then, it's still clunky as fuck. Bowsissies and spellfags are blowing up screens like it's PoE 1 while we're playing a worse miner that had its best build gutted on like day two or three. GGG are truly incompetent and I won't make excuses for them like "muh EA game."
>>507663006>Blooming fields>confusing maze-like layout>some flowers act as a wall, some can be walked over>500 crabsIt's easily the worst lmaoo

Playing ice nova cold sorc with frost wall shotgun to instakill bosses. Why is no one else talking about this or using it? Oh right no streamerfag made a build with it yet to tell everyone it's good.
>>507663318I don't get some of the choices.There's a single node on the witch area that gives 60% increased energy shield, with the "downside" of 20% slower recharge like someone cares about that when people are pushing absurd ES numbers with grim feast.
>>507663547Just having them active.
>>507663630>Oh right no streamerfag made a build with it yet to tell everyone it's good.Except Goratha made a version that outperforms yours by 300x 2-3 weeks ago.
>>507663006Ravine layout is so good but it seems like the mob density can't be increased by a lot
>>507663448I actually really like how bolts feel once you have enough attack speed that you reload in half a second. They did a great job distinguishing the feel from bows.Problem is, the best crossbow skills still wildly underperform compared to nearly every other weapon's best tools and the worst crossbow skills are basically unplayable. I probably won't play them again during EA since I've tried every build on them I can think of for feel but I'm hopeful they won't be so fucking garbage on release.
>>507663430The game is being made by Tencent chinks and poos along with white trannies with a Hapa retard in charge instead of bros in a garage fueled by passion for the genre. In fact, the subhuman Jonathan has basically disrespected the foundation of ARPG's and gone on about how he wants them to be action games like Elden Ring(and is failing at that). It's over, bros. I'm completely disillusioned and demazed.
>>507663710So it's literally just 12% damage for existing? That's fucking great
>>507663006i'd say crypt is pretty based des

SPARK IS SHIT SPARK IS SHITTTTTTTTTT and unfun
how the fuck are people getting 80k+ evasion for queen of the forest???
>>507646126chinese people have zero ethics and morals.
>>507663928leveling with sorceress using damage spells ironically feels worse than warrior, lol. no wonder everyone levels with LA+LR
>>507663980>Gear is rough, because flat evasion is so important you want to use Iron runes in all your gear which makes your resistance a nightmare. I have listed the best in slot mods for every item. Your items don't have to have the exact stats to function but these are the mods you are looking for. You pretty need great pieces in every slot to make the build really good. Radiant grief will make all your gas arrows explode automatically. You want at least 500 evasion rating on your boots and gloves. You can also get evasion and bow damage, elemental damage, bow attack speed, attack speed on jewels.
>>507664056i might switch to that, leveling with spark is THE most obnoxious bullshit ever, warrior is more fun than that
>>507663980same way people are getting 100k armor
>>507664056>leveling with sorceress using damage spellsliterally spark + flamewall
Hot take: The SC market is so fucked because the gold fees on the market are too low and there isn't a sink like kingsmarch. That allows bots to manipulate prices all they want.
>>507664151enlighten me
>>507664164?????????????????????????????
>>507663886The point is that the damage scaling probably shouldn't be what it is. Consider when they showcased xesht in the livestream versus people blowing it the fuck up in-game right now. The "vision" is that you have to do mechanics and fight a war of attrition with the boss. That's not currently happening. If that were the case, slowing down, regen, freeze change and all those stats that are not damage would be useful.The hammer will come down and it will be a bloodbath.
>>507663980>uncapped QOTF>LA and spark meta>mandatory cloak of flames>ridiculously fat energy shield nodes all over the placebros... what year is it?
>>507664203>step 1: get evasion nodes in the passives tree>step 2: get evasion on gear>step 3: profitevasion is so easy to stack everyone is getting acrobatics.
>>507663980Evasion isn't really hard to scale. The base values are about the same as armour but for some reason the nodes give a larger increased multiplier and Wind Dancer is a fucking 75% MORE multiplier that's basically conditionless.
>>507652901I want to use it but the base damage being such utter garbage seems to kneecap it.
alba is teh suk lmao
>>507664207constantly buying low selling high on currency exchange, that's what he meant i guessbots can't really do that in poe1 with huge amounts of chaos for example since the cost is higher there
>>507663718Nope mine is better.
>>507664164are you retarded?
reroll to pconc when will this feels good also why I can use bow and quiver now
>>507664331and then you also have +150% evasion from tailwind and a bunch of easily accessible +30% evasion notables, some of which can be obtained within a mere 2 skill points if you are traveling by
a nerf just flew over my house
>>507664227Yes, if combat were slow like that, the node would be amazing. They aren't doing that though. They gave up on their vision to bring the normies in. They won't try to go back to their vision since they already botched launch and put in way overtuned damage numbers.
>>507664227Grim Dawn already solved this by giving players good HP recovery options, sources of damage absorption and defensive scaling along with telegraphed attacks from bosses that will hurt you if you don't get out of the way. They can tune down our damage if they give us defensive options to make fights feel fair, but they won't do that. We have characters relying on a fucking life flask for recovery unless you play some broken ES build. It's just unacceptably amateur and ignorant of the entire genre.
>>507664436Cope
>>507664515people are whining about the big ES nodes, but all 3 can stack up the big numbers, all they need is to fix the formula for armour and nuke grim feast.

>>507664227The fundamental problem is that GGG is borderline autistic and doesn't understand human psychology. There's a term called Risk Aversion where people engage in risk compensation strategies when facing high risk. If your car exploded because you accelerated or braked too hard you would do everything as slowly and safetly as possible. The risk you have when you map or run pinnacle content is high, you lose a shit ton of your time (potentially several hours). Player then compensate by playing ultra high power builds so they can just negate mechanics. Why would people engage with mechanics when those mechanics are a direct threat to them. GGG expects you to play this cute little game of simon says and when you get it wrong 1/3rd of a work week gets flushed down the toilet. It's retarded

>>507663430Unironically massively agreed. I loved the old Poo1 skill tree. Still kicking myself of how some years back I deleted all of the original offline planners (long before PoB was a thing).

>>507664953I made a lightning strike duelist that used 2h swords 12 years ago, got to maps in HC
Wait, so how does damage conversion work in PoE2? If I'm playing Merc, and I pick a node that passively gives +20% Physical Damage, how is that applied to Crossbow skills that converts Physical Damage to Elemental Damage? Does it add the PhyDamage first THEN convert, or does it read that modifiers AFTER the conversion takes place?
>>507664164Do you somehow think chink farmers don't have a lot more gold than we do?
>>507664056Leveling with any damage spell works fine. You just have to keep upgrading your weapon to be spell damage, ele damage, skill levels. Same as always. Gonna feel weak with anything if you don't do this.
>>507664017Indians either brother, that's exactly my point
>>507666805It doesn't convert the damage modifier afaik. If you took 20% physical damage and you skill did 50% phys and 50% cold, the modifier would only apply to the 50% physical damage

>>507664643Yep it's great.
>>507664953Ephemeral Edge was one of the strongest builds last league.
>>507664953Unique swords yes, rare swords no outside of extremely expensive with cracked out foils.
>>507644572D4 starting to look pretty good compared to thos GOOKSLOP
>try out hardcore>get to cruel>rust king>he does that one big windup attack>don't even bother dodging cause it never does anything>die from full? I tested the fight like for like 5 mins after that with the same character and the same attack couldn't even break my ES when I got hit by it like 20 times. What the fuck?
>>507660156Just tried it with a different build. It won't work.
