Repeat from last thread:

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?

>>
>>507666980
>how does it work
It converts the damage THEN applies the increase of the damage to which you converted. So in short, if you convert phys to lets say fire, you nerf your own damage by picking any phys increase nodes instead of fire damage nodes.

Holy shit people are so fucking stupid. Krippfagian did so much damage with his faggot armor videos. Every fucking "forum" post and message on twitch chat is about fucking armor. Armor is fucking fine when you invest in it. You're supposed to dodge the huge hits no matter what defensive layers you go. Fucking retards.
>>
>>507666927
Your own time. At least you could use crafting knowledge in 1 and feel like you weren't missing out on much. Good luck with that now.
>>
>>507666980
After conversion. It's not as bad as you'd think since it's one of the things they did bother accounting for on the passive tree so you have enough options to scale that don't only effect half of your damage
>>
>7 days since the last update
abandonware
>>
>>507667323
it basically means you never pick up physical damage for crossbow.
focus on projectile damage, elemental damage and ailments
>>
>>507667181
That blows, especially since a lot of Merc persistent buffs converts 100% PhysDamage to EleDamage.
>>
>>507667286
I mean it's fucked in the sense that we aren't talking about how bad defenses are overall. Recovery is garbage, hp regen seems way worse than 1 especially with smaller life pools. Leech is gatekeeped to phys damage only because it just is, goy. You're reliant on just spamming a life flask that has a stupid amount of charges because it's just a bandaid for the lack of everything else.
>>
>>507667286
Evasion gives better EHP on small hits with upside. Armour would strictly be the worst defensive layer mathematically even if the formula was equal but it isn't, the only advantage it has mechanically is the ability to tank big hits for uptime but it feels to do that.

Ah yes, the bloodmage experience.. Using latest spell level. Amazing, I am witnessing the vision.

>>507667636
PoE 1 has many noob traps and it's hard to respec so you should probably be following a build (though people suggest not doing that for your first run).
>>
>>507666831
SSF adds so much to poe. Everything is meaningful and has value. It's great.
>>
>>507667442
this is on purpose, they want everything to be active rather than passive.
especially on bosses, they want you to run out of potions over a long fight not just regen to full in 2 seconds.

bloodmage is designed around physical skills anon, they're cheap asf and scale incredibly well with crit. if you must use something else, avoid +gem level and cast speed, focus on hard hitting with crit, get -mana cost from the shadow tree or hp regen from templar.

>sir, me so skillfur by praying PoE 2. Jonathansan says I'm just rikey da Elden Ring prayer.

Grenades don't count as projectiles right? Explosive Grenade has the projectile tag but the "projectile" is the non-damaging portion that's shot out right?
>>
>>507667812
why the fug is SRS considered sorceress adjacent anyways? did they really think people would dual spec spell dmg and minion dmg?
>>
>>507667829
They certainly didn't do a good job of that. Survivability is so weak but damage is so strong that they'll be playing whackamole ad nauseum for the foreseeable future. Forget vine arrow tier bullshit, there are so many builds we'd easily call mediocre that still delete everything but just have no leeway to trade it out for bulk

>bloodmage is designed around physical skills anon
it's designed around crit, not necessarily phys shit. it even has a node that's strong specifically with non-phys spells, that increases your base crit chance. chaos bolt is just a dogshit spell not worth building around, period.

Flame Wall summons 5 SRS's at a time and it buffs the projectiles of your minions (I think).

Any chaos witch build?? Chaos sucks???
>>
>>507667954
I'm pretty sure projectile damage and area damage both scale the explosion.
>>
>>507667471
Armor is SO much better than evasion for small hits, especially when you have other layers like regen and leech.
>>507667492
For now, fine. ES is getting dumpstered the best big balance update. They'll probably nuke grim feast. You'll still get one shot with 10k ES sometimes with no armor.
>>
>>507667954
Grenades do projectile damage
>>
>>507667514
I'm assuming Broken Armor works differently, where lowering the enemy's defenses would scale up the base PhysDamage before modifiers (which in turn would up the overall damage of the converted EleDamage, since it's % based), or am I wrong there?
>>
>>507668108
physical skills are designed around crit, exactly like bloodmage, they were clearly meant to be used for leveling bloodmage. you can switch in the endgame if you want, but nothing beats bonestorm + DD for leveling.
>>
>>507666831

>Also 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.
Link me a tree please. I'm actually interested in trying out DD as Infernalist. I got so tired of SRS Flame Wall Arsonist I went full in Storm Skeletons but it's even worse for bosses it seems.

There are a few pinnacle bosses that you need to defeat to upgrade your atlas, but the ubers are purely optional. There's too many things to know to spell them all out for you, you gotta dive in and search for info when you're met with roadblocks.

It is the easiest it has EVER been in poe 1 to respec out of a shit build. Unless you mean gems, then I'll give you that.
>>
>>507668153
Evasion scales better than armour per point on top of inexplicably being capable of getting many more points than armour just as a matter of numbers. Your EHP goes up higher against physical than armor does but it also mitigates elemental and chaos hit damage. This is just a hard fact and anyone who remembers 4th grade math can see this. The only advantage armour has on small hits in a vacuum is that it's less susceptible to stun but it's not a large investment to fix that.

The question of which becomes better after layering is more complicated but if we're only judging the game as it is right now, evasion gets to layer with phys reduction and energy shield instead of recoup so I really wouldn't bet on armour in this comparison

There's no scaling evasion. You either get hit (and one shot) or you don't.

When int str classes are added. You don't have to play them, but we're missing their tools. We have ghost shroud and wind dancer that rockets the value of the layers but scavenged plating is way too situational to compete. Warrior doesn't have the tools to make pathing up practical but the third ascendancy or axes could change that.

Armor is garbage right now and anyone denying that is a fucking retard but it can easily be good by release even if they change literally nothing about how it works right now. We might get something equivalent to determination or a unique that provides a good layer or just an ascendancy that scales with it better than titan does.

There's too many fucking multipliers in this game. Usually there's only 3 to 4 and then crit eg Damage Increase x Debuff x Resist. Each buff is additive within there own category. POE has a million less or more, all of which are multiplicative to each other.

Current league would be better. Trading is pretty dead by this point so it doesn't matter if you play SSF or trade league and you can always transfer over from SSF to trade. The game is based around trade though when the playerbase is alive at league start. You can play SSF primarily once you learn the esoteric ways of PoE 1 crafting.

My enjoyment of the game absolutely skyrocketed when you got enough regen that I didn't have to dodge boss basic attacks and and shitty little mechanics. The kill the boss before you run out charges design is so fucking bad and just encourages you to play whatever has the most broken damage.

This is what really gets me. Damage is so high even if you're on a weaker build that I can't imagine this is the vision they actually had in mind. The game is skewered so heavily towards minimal button, high damage builds with their design choices when when so many things only that the intention was to have us piano

>>507668787
Armor is consistent, evasion is not. The main cause of deaths are oneshots and evasions do nothing for them. Armor creates instances where you survive them.

You're meant to have multiple layers because each type of layer solves a different issue. A little bit of evasion with high armor does more than a high evasion with a little armor. Armor sucks against repeated hits and even a little evasion buffer for them goes a tremendous way. Conversely, a little armor won't save you from fucking anything if you get hit through your high evasion.
ES is fucking stupid right now though, yes. But you can also go armor/ES gear rather than just armor, so that you have a HP buffer to take advantage of the reduced damage, but retards into armor just want to pick one layer and expect it to save them from everything.

Armor is strictly better than evasion as a standalone layer. But people into evasion have a natural inclination to taking more. People who use armor just refuse to use not-armor because me big strength me no need other stats even though stats outside of int, because of the insane mana costs, are worthless in this game.

Wrong, evasion avoids them (with acrobatics) and armour doesn't do anything against them because it losses effectiveness against bigger hits and is not even up most of the time because there's an armour break mob in every pack.

>Armor is strictly better than evasion as a standalone layer

At this point this general is just having the same complaints reposted over and over and the subreddit is drowning in them. There is a dedicated thread for this AND GGG has a forum dedicated to feed back on their website that they (and many of us) would like you to use. Please enforce something regarding complaints that have like 50 previous posts in the last day or few days.

People are acting like if we don’t repeat an issue 2,000 times on Reddit that the devs won’t be aware of it. Most “feed back” are people mostly venting about their frustration. At this point they have to be 1000% aware of every single little issue. Even taking reddit out of the picture I’m sure they know from their actual feedback forums a lone and content created videos.

Many people are also posting like this isn’t EA, condemning the game as bad lol. Comment sections filled with “this is EA”. Maybe gamers have forgotten what actual EA is like and for, honestly I don’t blame you on this one with how EA is used in the gaming industry today

TLDR: Please use the dedicated feed back thread and GGG website for issues, complaints, mental breakdowns. Please avoid being dedicated post number 40 of the day about x or y issue.

If you’re new to this game and having problems, it’s probably you. The game has problems but you’re probably doing little to actually balance/engage with aspects of the game or tap the power of your character. And that’s ok, just don’t post like it’s the games fault that your hand isn’t being held and you aren’t being rewarded for playing a lot. POE rewards you for playing correctly, efficiently engaging with content, and most importantly, understanding and having knowledge of the game. It’s not an easy game and this is probably the hardest the game will ever be. Come to the subreddit like a student who wants to learn, not a consumer who feels that spending 30 dollars and playing all day should be grounds for reward in its self.

You get a few respec points for completing quests and you'll be drowning in orb of regrets eventually( a currency that gives one respec point when you consume them).

>Yeah, consistently shit.
If you never played PoE1 because this issue has existed for over 10 years and the community has already long resolved it. Armor with literally any other layer is the best solution over any other combination of layers. This game doesn't let you easily hit 90% res or anything so armor is the most likely to save you from death. Just not if you're a fucking retard who refuses to take anything else on top.

>Wrong, evasion avoids them (with acrobatics)
You mean evasion took the thing that lets them add a second layer? And it worked? Wow who would have fucking thought. Put ES on armor and suddenly you're the equivalent of stacking life with armor in the past. And it worked. It's more point efficient to grab armor and ES decent ES than high enough evasion that Acrobatics doesn't gimp you. And even then, the ability to dodge oneshots doesn't change that if you get hit you fucking die. Just take Grim Feast with literally any ES/armor gear and you're more immortal than evasion builds will ever be.

>Yeah it's great if you're in the campaign 3 levels above the zone you're in, then it really owns.
You haven't gotten out of the PoE1 campaign so your opinion doesn't matter.

>>507668274
Pretty sure they said there isn't going to be a necro ascendancy, Infernalist is probably the best you're going to get.

>>507671131
And here we go and close the circle... the complaint about the complaint post. Everything is the same every time, in every gamer subreddit for years.

As perfect and super fucking beautiful this game is. There is a LOT in the game that's very frustrating and super annoying. People need to vent. There are a lot of emotions going on. Already 100ts of hours investment. Not everyone can stay rational all the time.

My 20 year old son stopped playing days ago after having thousands of hours in poe1. Not a single posting somewhere. Just stopped playing. Annoying trials, only 1 life, not every map has a boss etc.

If all the people would act like him it would be really bad. Open your mouth and write what you think. We love this game and it has to be said what we don't like. And when a huge amount of us don't like the same thing, well then there are a huge amount of postings about it. Only that way we have a chance that some of the things we don't like could maybe get a change.

And let's be serious for a moment. For the amount of players in the game, this sub is super quiet. GGG had a big success. A lot of work ahead of them but a very big success

>>507668516
You know how you can use gold at any point to respec? In poe1 it's regrets (you get 20 from doing the campaign).

Acrobatics is a second layer because evasion doesn't naturally dodge the things that actually kill you. It might as well be this game's spell suppress because it's used for functionally the same scenarios. To dodge the oneshots evasion doesn't dodge. The point investment for acrobatics not gimping you is higher than the points investment to just grab a few int nodes and wear ES/armor items.

Witch's options are minions, physical, and chaos/chaos DoT, and shadow has never been the ED/Contagion guy. He isn't even supposed to be the hexblast guy, that's just because Trickster's good and mines are better than normal casting.

See. Part of my issue is that people aren't giving GGG time to respond to feedback. I don't mind constructive criticism. GGG even encouraged us to give it since it's early access after all. But it's a freakin holiday and people just keep rehashing the same complaints that have been brought up since the last set of updates.

We know that acts are far better balanced than maps. We know that one death per map sucks. We know that omen availability is almost nonexistent. We know that crafting is nondeterministic gambling with extra steps. We know people hate sanctum and ultimatum as ascendancy mechanics.

Another post adding to the pile of 100s of posts bringing up these issues will do literally nothing, and at this point just comes across as ranting

>armor do nothing vs big hits XDD
Get literally one piece of ES you fucking retard. Armor has diminishing returns but creates an enormous buffer with the slightest bit of health investment. That's how it's always worked. You can't get life but ES is easier than ever for strength users to get because of shit like Grim Feast being overtuned and stats not mattering beyond reaching minimum requirements for gear.
You can stack all the evasion and ES you want but unless you have obscene amounts you're going to die to oneshots 30% of the time or whatever Acrobatics left you at - probably more. Armor gets ES and becomes far tankier for the same investment
>>
>>507671881
yeah actually curses might not get a full ascendancy given that it's already in infernalist.
chaos is already in chayula so i doubt we'll get a full chaos ascendancy in witch, it'll probably be a flexible one with dot stuff.

Going witch literally generates a chaos dot node that doesn't exist on the tree otherwise. It's pretty obviously the one.

Monk zone has wither and poison nodes they can't really interact with so shadow will probably instead get a poison ascendancy that might incidentally improve chaos dots.

I tried SSF and I didn't like that so many builds were hidden behind luck and that now with how MF is king, it also means you need to spend days grinding instead of just getting a MF item on trade and getting items in seconds.
I will admit though, not having to deal with trade is incredibly freeing. If they remove MF and take another look at drops to compensate for the removal of it, I will play SSF. I enjoyed single player in Grim Dawn, and I enjoyed playing SSF in POE 1 because of crafting, but I do not enjoy it now.

It does scale fire technically but it is really weird. We got two lightning/cold ascendancies.

Templar will certainly get something that uses fire though. The weird thing is the STR zone that has very limited design space to be shared for the remaining ascendancies but a very clear fire direction. Probably third warrior rather than chieftain again though since maces do fire but axes seem like they'll be physical

>because this issue has existed for over 10 years and the community has already long resolved it
Yeah, it has resolved it by utilizing mechanics that don't exist in POE2 (full conversion to ele or chaos, endurance charges, other sources of PDR that don't get armourbroken).

>Just not if you're a fucking retard who refuses to take anything else on top.
Stop pretending you have made a good armour-based character in POE2, you haven't. You just believe that it exists, but armour is objectively a turd in POE2, and investing into it on equipment or the tree is a total waste of points for the most part (barring a few mechanics like the glove node, or nodes that give you both armour and something else and you just get the armour as a secondary benefit).

>You haven't gotten out of the PoE1 campaign so your opinion doesn't matter.
Do you want me to log in and post my level 100 hardcore Settlers character with 4s?
I'm vain enough to do it again. I do it every few threads. Just say the word.

>Broken armor doesn't contribute to Bleed Magnitude because it (modifies) Hit Damage, but Bleed is based around the (base) Hit damage of the attack that triggered it and not based on the modified damage after the fact, so Shock (flat Damage increase) ends up dealing more Bleed Damage but not the skills/debuffs that directly impact PhysDamage
This system is fucking weird. So my takeaway is that the game calculates the base "Hit Damage" completely seperate from Hit Damage modifiers, which checks things seperate from Convertion damage, and once damagebis converted, their damage types THEN get damage type modifiers?

Why doesn't Armor Break contribute to Bleed? It's no wonder Bleed builds feel like shit. How does Bleed work with skills that also convert the PhysDamage to EleDamage? Fuck, how do damage modifiers that give additional flat damage impact everything, and when?

This system is a nightmare to jump hoops around until they come out with an exact order of operations for their math.

Yeah the passover tree starting areas changing depending on class is a giant middle finger to any sort of off meta build crafting. It's basically a way to ensure you stay within-archetype when you pick an ascendancy

The game has been in development for like 10 years. If you think shit is unbalanced now with only 10% of the stuff in it (it's more like 80%) wait until more shit gets added and it gets even harder for them to balance.

I'll bite and try to figure out and armor es build. See if this guy is cooking or retarded. Have a titan laying around that I'm not doing anything with

>>507674387
It works because ES is busted, not because armor is remotely good
>>
>>507674362
nta but for the same reason armor mitigation benefits health dude. If you can get 50% armor your health is doubled. same shit for es but es is the only source of health scaling and you can overcharge it easily

block + ES should be good. forget armor though.

>I'll bite and try to figure out and armor es build
And you'll come out realizing that an evasion/ES grim feast/ghost dance/wind dancer build completely outperforms it completely in every scenario, many small hits, one big hit, many big hits, genuinely any.

You mean like how armor in PoE1 was also dogshit so everyone ran Lightning Coil and Taste of Hate because it was busted?

>>507673739
You're seriously overestimating its AoE, it only has a 2.6 base.
I've got the standard DD crit tree and magnified effect, it's at 3.6 (3.1 with tree no magnified effect). There are two small clusters even remotely close, one's 3 points away (27% inc) and the other's 7 away (66%). You've got too much crit and minion shit health to hunt down for that shit.

uhm nigger-kun, the skills from the classes that are missing will not improve build diversity. skills are locked behind weapon types.

How do you guys level new characters? I've found the early game to be unbearably slow for most classes, so I just use Pillar of the Caged God and then stack low level STR items like Meginord's Girdle which gives me 50 STR. Then stack STR on the passive tree.

I don't like to level forever like this, so I usually just respec the second I unlock it. Which is also cheap so early. Usually this is where classes start to feel better too. Like Warrior just gets his Aura which lets him clear properly. Witch gets her better summons around there. Etc. etc.

The most important thing early game, at least for casters is getting gear with "Extra skill level" on it. If you get like 2 extra skill levels you just breeze through everything.

I just savor it. The campaign is pretty fun, your choices matter, the music is nice, the bosses are generally fun to fight.
Gearing-wise it feels like you're dropped straight into endgame, it doesn't feel like you're just putting on whatever just to rush through the campaign. Picking your pieces well and getting good drops actually makes you either own or suck.

Huntress has a ballista(attack totems) ascendancy that also has crossbow nodes
One of them was teased to be "you can use any melee skill with crossbows" which I highly doubt will make it into the game
Another one is survivalist which is projectile alternative oriented giving you the option of a meta skill in the form of greater multiple projectiles or greater volley
The last one is a shapeshifting/jungle themed cat form, but this may be changed because they shifted shapeshifts to northwest of the tree

Ranger gets a roa mount/maraketh ascendancy as third but no clue whats up with that

Worst of all I tried some offmeta build starting out. Lightning Quarsterstaff Chronomancer

It does increase PhysDamage dealt it seems, but with the way PoE2 does it's math, it seems basically pointless for anything the Merc wants to be doing, which begs the question why he even has an Armor Break skill + tree if both Armor Break and +PhysDamage multipliers do fuckall for 90% of his kit (with the remaining 10% being free auto attacks and an ability that straps Armor but doess less damage than Frozen + Frag Rounds).

Merc being all about split damage means all modifiers in thebPassive Tree only really give partial bonuses unless the Passive flat out says "Do More Damage" without any other conditions needed to be met (and even those aren't always the case).

First of all, ignore trade all together. That doesn't mean you have to stop playing on trade, but treat it as something secondary. Something you can maybe use to help you gear. Set prices to one ex to start with, and slowly increase it the more wealth you have. If you can stomach using it for an hour, you can usually find some amazing items that are dirt cheap. I'm on t15's on my Warrior and my budget is like 10 Ex. The only thing that cost more than 1Ex if I didn't find it or craft it myself is the Cloak of Flames. Which was 2 Ex with an almost perfect roll on it and open rune sockets.

Give everyone free increased item rarity drop 100% modifier and then nerf it's effect in half (so you have only 50% actually compared to the current one and +100% in gear will give you only +50%, so it's harder to stack for a good effect).

Normies can’t understand the thrill of hunting the hog. Night spent chasing an over amphetamined Bex around the bean bag forts. Her squealing and gibbering, pouring sweat and on the verge of seizing. Your friends build up an intoxicating, delerious state with Maori chantings at the sidelines, hitting the Bex-toy with brooms if she tries to escape. Chris would be giggling and laughing as the waves of methamphetamine pleasure seem to harmonize with the droning Maori verses. He runs through the bean bag maze fat and portly, with his viagra powered penis a driving rod for the weasel. Sweat gushing down his face around his unfocused eyes he laughs and chortles until he gasps "Found you!" . The Bexhog screeches defensively but Chris is upon her in seconds. His penis thrusting blindly into her flank, leg, stomach and ribs unconcerned about anything but the motion. Eventually serendipity finds her mouth and the Bexhog Slampig is placated, suckling contently on Chris’s dehydrated dick.

Maces were used before the changes to axes made them better. One hand maces are used in strength stacking builds, not axes. Staves male fine melee builds don't know what you're fucking talking about. Also you could at least easily go ele or phys impale or crit etc. Poe2 has none of that diversity since conversion has been neutered in the womb and tons of shut is just plain non functional

Let's see here.
>trade is fucked by RMT jeets and chink bot farms
Play SSF, aquire gear through orbs and gamba.
>endgame is about screen clear and nothing else matters
Guarantee this will change. They did not design an entire game around not doing this for the endgame to devolve into doing this.
>1 try on bosses and maps is bad
This will either change or people will get better and this will no longer be a big issue.
>boss fragment farming is bad with 1 attempt
Legit complaint and I agree something needs to give here. Probably just up the drop rates of boss attempts in high tier maps and problem solved.
>mapping is boring
Add in mini bosses in normal maps. Get rid of bullshit rare modifiers. Make juicing for mechanics easier and make the endgame mechanics not 1-shot screen clear bullshit. This will largely be solved by slowing things down as stated earlier.
>melee sucks
Sounds like this is a solved problem in PoE1 and the teams just need to touch tips. Make it so you can move while meleeing and that'll solve a ton of issues.
>1-shot mechanics as the only way to kill you
This is a core issue to the genre. The rebalance as stated earlier will help this, but I think the game needs a form of 1-shot protection. Make it so any hit within a timeframe can only take so much of your life, have that scale with armor or some shit. Catch is that if you aren't on full life you can still get gibbed, it just won't take you from 100 to 0. You could still be gunned down by volleys or rapid hits, but single instances of spike damage won't gib you. Risk of Rain 2 has insane damage number scaling like this game does, has a OSP mechanic, and people still die. It isn't as abusable as people think and is a very smart mechanic.

Anything else I missed?

They do fuckall damage since they don't scale with your weapon phys and they die instantly when hit with a stray projectile or mob melee. It's possible that they're better with heavy setup investment / totem nodes on the tree but they can't be made decent in conjunction with utilizing other crossbow and grenade skills.

Hell I literally tried using one just to stand on it for font of blood/font of rage and it just dies too quick even for that.

What do you think the solution will be for GGG in regards to the whole armor+life vs Energy shield mana debacle? I honestly don't see a world in which they can handle it and not fuck over energy shield somehow. I think it would go a long way if they view ES as a life alternative and not a armor or evasion alternative. ES to me, as a person who has never used it, is just life but light blue. It has different mechanisms for sure but if it runs out, you usually die shortly after. So effectively its life. Right? What am I missing?

how easy it is to get 8k mana and 2k mana regen/second, with EB/MoM so you just facetank and regen everything. it would cost 10x more to get that amount of regen for health.

Not dark enough, not tomboy enough. At least do a different hair color, she is way too similar to ranger

They will release Huntress before Duelist because they
a) worked on her a lot more than Duelist
b) worked on spears a lot more than swords/axes
c) probably thought all the shit from PoE1 is gonna be easier and faster to import later on without bugs for release than something entirely new

uhh bro your resistances?
>>
>>507681430
Poe1 has fortify and tons of "x taken as %phys" which helps. I don't really disagree with armor shrugging off minor hits but still having to dodge the one shot skills, but it's currently in a weird place where you just fucking die to all the ele/chaos damage flying around. On top of the fact that melee SHOULD be tankier than ranged.
>>
>>507681607
>>507681478
forgot to add, with everlasting gaze (1 div) you now have like 3-4k ES as well, on top of your assloads of manahealth regen. so 10k total health pool and fuckloads of regen for relatively cheap. it makes the game feel like PoE1.
>>

I don't have a problem with damage conversion, I have a huge issue with DPS in endgame
>nades are 75% of base attack speed
>you have to wait for them to prime
>you have to wait for them to reload
I can shoot 4 nades faster than I reload 1. The initial burst is strong but afterwards my DPS falls by like 70%, terrible for breach and endgame bosses. Started a monk and I'm killing campaign bosses before they even get to use all of their attacks since the beginning of act 2 because I never need to wait before using my skills.

Sorc and Witch are different enough fantasy wise that it's more acceptable.

Ranger and Huntress are both strong independent blonde women that hunt things and are close to nature.
>>
>>507681526
>armor formula updated to current poe1
>boss damage increased
>ES cut in half
ES should never have been able to tank anything because its the king of sustain through recharge in bosses.
all boss slams (ex xesht flick) should with no exception one shot a PURE es character. if an ES character wants to survive they should either git gud or go hybrid armor/es to bring the damage into a survivable range.
we'll see if ggg has the balls to follow up on their vision or not.
>>
>>507681387
The gallows selection (Duelist and Shadow) will be released before they add the other classes.

>>507681478

the obvious problem is that we are led to believe that Armour/Evasion/ES are somehow the same even though armour for some fucking reason unlike the other two only works on physical damage, evasion gets the option to work against spells, why doesnt armour get the option to work against elemental(fully, not the shitty 10%/20% stats)

>why doesnt armour get the option to work against elemental
it does though, there's a unique that does literally what you're asking for.
>>
>>507681863
Idc spears are a fun weapon and huntress is directly thematically tied to the lore of the world much better than ranger ever will be.
>>
>>507681890
Why even care about boss one shots when rarest are far more dangerous and you can just one shot the pinnacles anyway?
>>
>>507681890
ES was ALWAYS more tankier, but harder to make going. And it should stay that way, life based characters just need bigger pool, fortify

And it has no armor on it and won't fix the problems armor has against big phys hits. Armors problem isn't elemental damage it's phys damage. That's why people use cloak of flame and not your dogshit unique
>>
>>507681641
Armor didn't become meta. It's stacking armor with buffed auras that became meta. Just like stacking evasion and grace/vaal grace became op when they buffed auras.
>>
>>507682080
It looks like you're having a schizo split between some nades and some xbows. Stick with one and use extra passives for survival. The bittom right arm/ev one was best imho, even has a node that gives extra ev for each arm on your gloves.
>>
>>507682265
acrobatics has a huge negative effect too, the chest probably removes less armor than acrobatics removes evasion

Armour is meta because you can get 50k with minimum investment, and then layer your defence. And yeah determination is huge.
>>
>>507682327
elemental damage is also a problem for armor, which is why warrior has some +max res in the tree, warrior doesn't get as much raw hp as ES.

>>507682065
the point is not to make bosses do nothing to an armor character the point is to make a slam like that survivable for an armor character so you have to burn a potion or avoid more shit to live.
pure ES should not survive a slam, they have traded all defense to be able to recharge their full life pool in seconds
pure armor should live something like that with 20-30% life
hybrid should barely survive but again they have ES recharge which (should) reward investing into multiple defenses
>>

Shut the fuck up retard. Everyone was running around with brass dome and determination, or a crafted armor evasion chest piece with res and determ effect for the last 3+ fucking years don't piss on me and tell me it's raining.
Even after the neffs armor evasion gear or evasion/es gear are the only two surviving meta choices because suppression and armor or es/suppression are the only surviving defensive strategies that didn't get absolutely shit on. And if you want well throw max res stacking on with armor too. Only now that they nerfed determ again are people other than ranger pivoting to lightning coil

Okay yeah that makes sense.

This part isn't a problem, it's reasonable design that encourages you to stack as much armour as possible, instead of getting just, say, 4000, and getting flat PDR for the whole game.
The problem is the total ubiquity of 100% armor break. Legitimately every map will have at least 1 mob that does it.
Having decent armour is also a sizeable investment of equipment slots, global defense/charge stacking, passives on the tree and so on. All of which can be spent on buffer instead.
This compounds to armour being a bad fucking choice.
100% armor break on players needs to go, or armour users need to get a node that mitigates at least 30-50% of it.
>>
>>507684047
It's the part of the game that is what they want it to be, the endgame isn't. Whatever you feel like calling it.
>>
>>507683787
Because you're playing a dead class and getting tricked by streamerniggers into playing a dead class. Wasting time in the game for them makes them more money. Wasting time for you is just wasted time. Always play the meta and nothing else unless you're truly bored.

let me enlighten you:
the more armor you have, the less impact armor break has because its based on the end physical damage taken.

Doryani can't prevent it because it's inevitable. PoE 1 establishes that the cataclysm happens in every possible universe no matter what he tries. Atziri fucking everything up is the fundamental constant of PoE cosmology.
>>

Very bad take. Trade only works when there are 25k+ concurrent players on a server. Anyone who has played PoE 1 before knows this.

Everyone with a brain ignores the lowest priced listings.

It thought it was retconned that he made the beast

Warrior is still way more fun to play than monk or ranger despite it being weaker.
>>
>>507684171
Monk is a class not a system? Also monk only functions because of combat frenzy and resonance being right in his start

He's actually a great example of how poo2 is a bastardization of poo1. They had to completely destroy charges and their game identity, as well as charge sustain in order to enforce the playstyle of a single fucking build

>>507684553
Epic bait

>>507679147
Yeah, everyone - especially you - is way smarter than them, but magically fails to make a better game. Really weird, but that should in no way stop you from thinking how much more intelligent you are.

GGG was 100% correct with this take and not enough people give them credit for it.
>>
>>507684685
Monk feels great specifically because of the changes they have made to the combat and movement in the game compared to PoE 1. I'm not using combat frenzy or resonance.

That fucking bird boss in ultimatum spawned a tornado that killed me in like 0,5 seconds, seems like a bugged skill.

There's no way to swap runes is there?

>>507684757
doesn't blink and lightning warp teleport every minion to you?
>>
Armor class should let you push through mobs and heavy armor should give you a shoulder check dash instead of roll. Heavy armor lads shouldn't get shoved around by white mobs.

I firmly believe Warrior was the first class created.
It was the class the original game was balanced around. They created this, had a workable playtest, and had this idea for a more difficult, slower and more methodical game.
But... time constraints, constant setbacks, etc. etc. several years later and they ended up porting a lot of shit straight over from the first game.

Do you remember a lot of the people talking about their experience with Warrior in the first week? A lot of them had a very positive experience about it. They had thought it was fun, it interesting being some normal knight like guy fighting horrors. It wasn't until people started playing with other classes, videos started being posted of other classes, until people experience more with the game that that tone shifted from it being fun to it being complete trash. It's because people were able to see what actually good classes were, they were able to realize how incredibly gimped they were.
And now there is no putting the cat bag in the back. People have seen everything else and don't want to press Sunder with a 3 second animation to kill 3 white mobs.

wow he actually doesn't know how it works...are you still in the campaign friend?

Explain what retard thought MF was fine after decade they slowly gutted it from PoE1
>>
>game didn't launch with a map tab
oh I see, they want everyone to spend their 300 and then add the map tab later so they have to give more money, very clever chinese grinding games
>>
>>507684593
until Act 6, where we find out Alva is actually Atziri before she becomes atziri
cinema

>>507684862
it's not. the skill is very telegraphed, just move.

>>507684873
Nope

>Trying to build Merc
>The more I learn about damage multipliers and conversions, the more I'm convinced Merc was slapped together last second
Anything good about the class/ascendencies are purely accidental.
>>
>>507681478
>how is GGG going to fix something that can only be fixed by rebalancing things?!
I think they'll rebalance things. I think that was the plan all along, judging by their 12 year history of making new stuff and then rebalancing it.
>>
>>507684882
Not sure about the shoulder charge but heavy armor making you immune to be pushed around and maybe you doing the pushing would be cool, that would also kinda justify the slower movespeed it gives you.
>>
>>507684862
>no armor build
another idiot baited by kripp
>>
>>507684880
idk anon. Does it?
>>
>>507685041
Maybe if you know the telegraph. There's nothing that points to it being a pretty much instant death. And I hadn't seen it before.
>>
>>507683268
Pretty sure the top PoE1 mappers are way further removed from what the average player makes than in PoE2.
It's just people making themselves miserable.
>>
ever since i started off screening everything i feel much tankier
>>
>>507684958
Put more effort into it next time nigger
>>
>>507685307
Killing shit before it kills you is the actual best defensive layer
>>
>>507685005
Nigga you're going to have to spend $150 on tabs at the game's actual launch anyhow just buy all your quads now.
>>
>>507685251
it certainly does in poe1. just use blink on swap.
>>507685286
it's like a 3 second windup, hard to miss
>>
>>507685012
Guess what Alva trying to unfuck everything is going to do. I'm looking forward to being disappointed when the story does something other than I've imagined

waow finally something mildly useful

None except corruptions goyim you still have to equip a blink spell to finish your trial.

Because the game is made with RMT Chinese gangs in mind

>>507685510
Anoint Parrying Motions on your neck. That is, if you can get at least 50% block for it to be reliable.
>>
>>507685721
h-how do I get 50% block on a crossbow build?
>>
>>507686336
Hm... There are those level 1 Unique Boots that give you a flat 10% Block. This block can be scaled even without a shield. Obviously this is useless though as it has no movement speed on the boots. I wonder if there are other items or passives like that, then you could scale block independently of a shield.

Otherwise, just open your passive tree, ctrl f movement, then annoint whichever one gives you the highest movement speed.
>>
Christmas is over, where is the patch?
>>
New friend here, how do I kill GAYnor with my lvl 16 witch. I keep getting him to like 30% health on last phase and then he freezes me with some bullshit and kills me. Never played poe1 so I’m just going in blind but haven’t struggled much with the rest of the game to this point and my build has felt solid till now.
>>
>>507690283
Literally you just have to learn to dodge, everything he does is something you can avoid. Just don't get hit by the beams. Focus on survival not dps.
>>
>>507674947
>can't use sunder on a 2handed axe or 2 handed flail.
Says who?

Crossbow, not merc
