That's why they need to redo the itemization such that the potential power difference between a badly rolled item and a well rolled one isn't so crazy.

I happened to be looking a some crossbows in trade and you could get one that's over 200pdps in early 20s. Average crossbow at that level probably doesn't even hit 100pdps.

>>
I'm gunna say it again (again).

First impressions matter. They spend 2 Exilecons, trailers at multiple other events courting new players,
snazzy trailers and snippets showing methodical, engrossing gameplay with a character meaningfully dispatching mobs.
They wanted to court the 20million Elden Ring purchasers, even a fraction of these would do big for GGG.

They then released a game where unlike that game, you are forced into locked genders/character models when it's closest competitor D4 doesn't do this.
This also meant that the only melee player was a black guy, in a period where peak woke and dei were being rejected.

What made this worse, is this melee playstyle is clearly second fiddle to everything else in the game with the lowest effort possible put in.

The game has more in common with Borderlands than it does with Diablo or Souls. The way monsters have been created, they have no ebb and flow, no phases or routines, all they do is zerg rush, they can't strafe or sidle or even act scared or backpedal in fear, there are no situations where the player feels like the aggressor or the one initiating combat.
The player is constantly reactive, a magnet for iron particles that just stream towards them in the shortest path possible.

The movement, combat and mechanics are completely at odds with what monsters do.
The game made the dire mistake of powercreeping ranged playstyle way too hard way too fast, shooting 3 arrows at a time should be seen as high tier expert level unlock.
The game however lets you just turn into an uzi almost immediately, other playstyles can never compete with this, the game suffers.


This game would have had 10 million players Early Access if it had only melee characters available, no ranged available and one of them was white male sword and shield.
They did almost everything right you could do right pre release to build momentum, and then did everything wrong possible at the finish line.

This should have been your big indicator that whoever was behind design is an absolute retard.

These people are complete fucking idiots.

>>537491632
TRVTHNVKE
let's not forget the fact that you can clear souls games gearless in a respectable fashion
>>
But seriously what combination of skills does GGG expect me to use as a cold sorc? Do they really exist me to:
Frost bomb > frost bolt > frost nova > snap > frost dart any remaining frozen ones
Meanwhile I need to react and dodge jump scare enemies while still maintaining this mediocre damage combo. And sometimes the combo doesn't even work due to weird collision or elevation changes. You know what's easier than all of this:
Lightning arrow, which auto targets for me and travels instantly across the screen. Great design.

incorrect it's literally just a stat stick simulator all you do is aoe pop bubbles doing the same 3 animations. PoE1 players would love this, anyone who enjoys actual videogames hates this.

Imagine if street fighter every attack was just hadouken in different slight variations. Imagine if in devil may cry every attack dante did was just a ground pound aoe that blasted the enemies and you 'win' but feel hollow doing it.

That's what warrior is. You don't feel like you are gaming, that you are cracking skulls with your mace and smashing dudes apart, you are instead a gay black earth wizard who points is earth wand a the ground and are cuckolded by dust particles that do the actual killing.

Whenever you say "Skill issue" your game dies a little. You should lament people saying it. PoE2 going the way of Quake fags with too much complexity to entice new players and a degree of hostility that alienates them.

I think TQ2 will be enjoyable as a casual once it comes out in 1.0. Right now it has limited content.

PoE2 is quite a bit more complex but if you can get past that it would also be fun to play through once it hits 1.0.

The race/tribe of Warrior is inconsistent in PoE2 in multiple places. The 3D model and the Smith of Kitava Ascendancy art is a black guy, the art when he has dialogue looks Karui-ish, and the Warbringer and Titan Ascendancy art looks like an Ezomyte or Norse guy.

well yeah actually, both games have a "problem" with bots(eventhough they are better traders than the average poe(either game)tard) although people definitely noticed that there were a ton of bots on poe2 league starts
>>
>>537493356
Check this shit. It maxes out at 30 heat with no quality. At 30 heat it locks you from firing for 10seconds(!). A grenade will consume 20 heat, but you need to have 20 heat to use. SO you have to keep an eye on the icon top left all the time, so when you get to 20 you can throw a grenade. OR incendiary shot uses all 30. So using that would mean use rapid until it locks out then incendiary to consume all 30 heat. But you still can't fire rapid again until its 10sec cooldown, and then to top it off it needs to be manually reloaded each time when its cooled down.

>>537493950
It could possibly be used if you had it qualitied so you could have enough heat for an incediary without it locking out. BUT you still are playing the whole time watching the icon top left for when it hits 30 heat. ITs barely a couple of seconds of fire before you either have to grenade or incendiary or it becomes literally unusable, watching an icon in the corner of the screen the whole time. WTF WERE THEY THINKING
>>
>>537494418
To be perfectly honest, that is actually the best solution. Buffing the entire game to match LA's performance is realistically impossible, even if they wanted to. You don't just bump the floor up to what is basically the ceiling for most builds just because one outlier is stupidly overtuned.

would all this (not just one or two things, but ALL of the above at the same time) be enough to force you to quit the league so early?

In ARPG (Action Role-Playing Game) terms—especially in games like Path of Exile (PoE) or Diablo—a "league starter" refers to a build or character setup that is specifically designed to be effective at the very beginning of a new league or season.

Here's what that typically means:
A league starter is a budget-friendly, strong early-game build that can:
Progress quickly through the campaign/story
Clear early maps efficiently
Function with minimal gear
Farm currency or gear to later transition into more powerful builds

>start filling out build
>realize best in slot (or near-best with next upgrade being 100+div) is all uniques
they really need to make poe2 itemization less boring, all fucking rares are just life+spirit+resists+gem level, if you dont play attacks and need T1 flat damage thats literally all you care about.
When I get another 3 or 4 divs I'm gonna swap my helmet for Alpha's Howl, my boots for bones of Ullr (I could get it now but I refuse to pay 2 div for a fucking lvl 16 unique no matter how mandatory GGG made it for builds this patch), and I'm pretty sure my BIS weapon is Mjolnir since it's +4 lightning plus good base damage to share to my living lightnings with Watch How I do it.

Then, because Mjolnir needs 200 STR and 200 INT to wield and my minions and Supporting Fire scale off strength, I'm pretty sure my best necklace is fucking Astramentis. I'm already wearing doryani's prototype and two -Lightning res Ventor's Gambles because it's the only source of negative res in the game. I could probably pay a huge amount of divs for an offhand scepter that beats Sunsplinter, but my Ball Lightning wouldn't benefit from +4 minions the way it does +3 lightning and 20% block plus max res and parry is also too good to give up.

That's a yikes from me dude, new player here I just got to endgame and yeah this game isn't for me. Dev's who do this don't know how to balance their game and add content properly.

I know zero about poe historically but is this game just going to be prone to long term inflation where where the nums just get bigger and everything has to get more and more retarded?
I actually had fun during campaign but this endgame shit sucks, I would honestly just prefer a boss rush of campaign bosses stuck in randomised zones + guaranteed giga loot drop at end.

I would have immediately drop Poop2 in favor of LE if LE:

>Pour more money into visuals and boss encounters

It's not as much as you think. LE is so much better at class design, itemization, crafting and fun component than Poop2 that it pains me that it was dragged down by indie budget and kindergarten conditions (reasons why players got bored early on).

I laid out the justifications pretty well. +2 minion helm isnt as useful as alpha's howl since half my minions are generated from a lightning skill with no minion gem tag, Alpha's Howl doubles presence radius and is +100 spirit. Bones of Ullr is mandatory for any minion build this patch, 30% reservation is retarded and is nearly triple what Lord of Horrors gives you on the passive tree.

amulet slot is the most debateable, astramentis is just QOL letting you slot any gems you want without playing Gemling but 200 str+200 int for mjolnir is a pain without it

This game really has a numeric problem like korean games do

Like, why do you start the game dealing 100's of damage and then end up doing millions? What kind of retard non game design is this? This is just inflationary uncontrollable garbage.

Your first weapon should deal literally 5 damage and the first mob should have 15 hp. The first boss should have 100hp.

The very end of the game boss should have 10 thousand hp and you do about 500 damage a hit on a good build. Everything should be balanced in a way where numerals are always readable and tangible, that you can easily do the math very quickly in your head for something.

Letting the numbers inflate out of control and run away on you like this leads to numbers being irrelevent by the endgame and its just all about percentage increases and bullshit where you do 3million dps on 100 trillion hp bosses. It's fucking beyond stupid.

Just.....don't do it? Everything is relative. In a world where 10 damage is a good hit, 100 damage is seen as big dick. There's no need to do this korean shit where you have to see 12 zeroes after a number to feel good about yourself. I believe this batshit retarded numerics leads to an unbalancable game that is constantly shitting itself because the slightest tweak to any number causes shifts of millions of digits later in the domino chain.

Infusions feel pretty bad against bosses. You don't get nearly enough while you drown in them while clearing. The disparity is wild.

You make number go up reasonably, just like I fucking said. You start weapon damage at like 5 damage for a dagger and like 10 damage for a mace and then end of the game upgraded high tier dagger is 100 damage, and bosses and enemies have health and defences accordingly.

Literally any japanese game does this better and gooks are good enough at math but know its retarded to let it run wild in videogames.

Imagine if pokemon cards gave Charizard 12530 HP and it's Flame Blast did 1152 damage and it attacked a Chansey that had 9000 HP etc. It's fucking stupid and no one would ever have played that.

A big part of RPG is to be able to logically track your numeric gains and easily headcheck the numbers because they're reasonable.

Just look at the souls games johny boy loves so much, they do this perfectly.
I'm pretty sure final big bad boss in elden ring has like 20k HP, and your greatswords upgrade to like 400 damage. You can literally brain this wihtout a calculator roughly how many hits you need to kill.

The only redeeming quality was the accuracy crit node and it gives a whopping 3.75 flat crit and you have to invest into it. Meanwhile something like Bloodmage gets a flat 15. Who is balancing this game?

my current tree is fucked since I took a bunch of bandaid fix shit during leveling and need another 10 levels to fill out and respec since there's so much traveling to minion clusters as tactician. if you want to play it in campaign I suggest going Unearth, get a +3 lifesprig for cheap, and then put a storm rune on the wand for Gained as Lightning so you can one-button combo (don't tell jonathan) Unearthed+Living Lightning temporary minions.
Unleash Hell will hard carry you once you get it since not only was its damage buffed 300% this patch it also has 1% strength=1% increased damage so it'll one shot rares and chunk bosses.

BY FAR the best skill for generating living lightnings is Ball Lightning but it's a Tier 11 gem so you're stuck coping with Spark until then which works fine for packs but is ass at upkeeping all 10 lightnings single-target since their attack time is faster than spark can keep up with without ricocheting off a wall right next to them.

They're alright, and they already have high base crit so they're not bad on Lich. Lich can enable low life builds, so you can use Pain Attunement and the new really good Execute 3 support gem. Lich is definitely a viable option

>Orb of Storms
orb of storms fires once every 4 seconds by default, living lightnings have an attack time of like 0.1 seconds and dissipate after 3 attacks. Given how starved you are for gem slots on minions it's not really worth bothering with from what I've seen.
Ball Lightnings shoot fast enough that even single target against map bosses they can stack 10 simultaneous living lightnings off of hitting a single target, no other skill gets close to that and I tried a lot, including non-lightning skills with damage gained as lightning. For AoE hitting 10 isnt hard, but single target you need something that vomits hits AND actually lets you socket supports that boost Living Lightning which is harder than it sounds.

For minions I'm running Muster with storm mages as main damage since they scale off Lightning gem levels like Ball Lightning does. Living Lightning minions do not gain gem levels from +Minion inherently, they're leveled based off whatever the triggering skill is (which is another reason comboing them off Unearth works well in campaign, since any +spell, +physical or +minion gear boosts both)

Bone is very good.
And Liches can manage to get some of the highest EHP.
The best thing about Bone Lich is you can play "THE VISION" with combos without playing Piano faggotry. Basically, you can have two different spells constantly being triggered while you only actually really cast a single spell; Bone Cage. This lets you use this for clear for large AOEs and CC with Bone Storm for single target.
I'm honestly not sure why it's not more popular and EDC is...

I made a Storm Wave + Falling Thunder invoker build, but am I missing something or are these skills utter dogshit?
The ground projectiles dissipate when they collide into any terrain or debris, and the game is full of them.
More often than not I have an abyss-hole spawn in a chokepoint and my attacks just cannot hit anything because the projectiles collide with the abyss itself.
I have chaining off terrain but it still feels like complete garbage

Either they fell for the modern game dev "temper the blow" type of communication where they treat us like children they need to sneak vegetables in their meals completely ruining years of trust they build

They genuinely do 11th hour sweeping changes without playtesting (or bothering to do the math) often just relying on player reaction to the initial patch notes meaning their release pipeline is completely fucked

It's not exactly a hidden build. I played it in .2 as well. First time killing Xesht too. You can get 100% Crit Chance. Now with supports not being singular, you don't even have to constantly play with your skill gems with different enemies. So it's pure QOL changes for us.

Doesn't feel nearly as bad when you have a ton of charges all the time and you shit out a bunch of projectiles because the rng of them getting deleted by terrain evens out. I'd just play some ice strike until you get enough currency to buy decent gear for it. Shit sucks early. I guess you could also try flicker, it was pretty good substitute last league and it's far more reliable, but I heard they fucked it up somehow.

Really cool build, but basically only possible once you're at end game with some decent currency.
You need to be critting at least 80% of the time to make it worthwhile.

Which means you basically need to be level 80ish at least with some pretty decent gear. Not incredible. But you're basically switching to that NOT playing it the second you get Bonestorm and Detonate Dead.

I just want everyone to understand that niGGGers have been working on this patch with 2 goals in mind, remove cruel and class/skill balance. That's it, 2 things.
They successfully removed cruel by using and reskinning mobs, bosses (and their abilities) and map zones.
Class/weapon balance was their major point of contention with Jonathan repeating multiple times that it's imperative to get that right and it will even come at the cost of introducing a new class.
They have been trying to make Acolyte not dogshit since 0.1 and here we are today, still dogshit. At which point do you take a step back and consider letting go the absolute retarded niggerfaggots in charge of balancing specific classes and weapons.
This is D4 tier balancing, fuck you.

Yeah it is but isn't it, from a building perspective, basically just the same as ES+Eva (other than that it might be more intuitive for newfags)?
The only thing you have to keep in mind is that ES has access to Ghost Dance so its effective hit pool is even bigger than just HP+ES, at the end of the day 100% deflect is basically the same as having 60% of your HP as ES and because Evasion characters by definition rarely get hit you don't even have to consider recovery shit too much (besides ES being easier to recover than HP anyway, especially for ES Eva chars)

Did you see the interviews with Jonathan a while back? He is 100% convinced that melee is the strongest build in the game and is objectively the best way to play it.
All because he had never made it past the first few zones of act 1. He plays for half an hour each night as a sleep aid, and then deletes the character and rerolls the next evening.

I'm not sure if they fucked with the drop rates of baryas/ultis, you're not the first to complain.
I had a weird ruthless-tier support gem drought for a time too, but it's pretty consistent in maps. Would've been pretty rough if I didn't know what I was gonna play and picked supports randomly to experiment.

Jesus fucking christ why would you ever NOT got ES+Evasion then?
I was under the impression that it was going to be relatively easy to hit 100% if you are pure evasion and even under that assumption ES+Eva was already better.
Who the fuck is balancing this game? I don't fucking understand, why would you ever try and get high Deflect when you can just get double your fucking health pool in ES and literally 5x your eHP with Ghost Shrouds???

maybe you could look up what path of exile was 5 years ago lol
you don't want what they promised 5 years ago, you want the slop they turned poe 1 into after they broke poe 2 off into its own game.
here is the atlas you were promised 5 years ago

you won't have to worry about an atlas passive tree or scarab juicing.
here is a nice blasting build

daily master missions were on the way out at that point so you dodged a bullet on that one.
>>
>>537506545
He's right, but for the wrong reasons.
Streamers did kill poe 2. But that's because they spent half a decade actively campaigning for a slower, more methodical, game. Convincing the playerbase that poe 1 is too easy despite them constantly alt f4ing. Repeating the zoom aspect of poe, that one thing that really stands out in a wave of diablo clones, is a failure of the game. That power creep is le bad and the devs should always nerf everything that feels good each league.
Fuck streamers. Poe 2 is exactly what they begged for. And none of them want to eat the shit on a plate they literally wrote the fucking recipe for. Step 1. Shit on a plate. Step 2. Serve it to me fresh on camera.

Wow, nothing suspicious here, I would even argue that was a GGG community manager that gave him some items or lets pretend that that rhazzy guy actually got 2 magebloods in a single map in the first league that he was sponsored to play PoE and had a GGG employee on the chat to congratlate him at the moment that he dropped the item.

you get a chance to evade and then chance to dr hehe. They simply want to ensure you die often. Max hit is all that matters as usual, so yeah, ES is the way to go and high enough values of ES coupled with EV is good. Even though they significantly nerfed EV formula as well - need a lot more of it to reach high % now. You'll feel it in campaign when you have pitiful amounts.

The problem is, restricting players to this playstyle means this archetype is nonviable in ene game. Whereas piercing projectiles can engage multiple packs of enemies and chain, this is limited to the one pack you are targeting

Same problem either nearly every build thay isn't a piercing lightning projectile. You just cannot meaningfully engage with the nber of monsters they put on screen

finally someone gets it, people forget how much the streamers were parroting about how they wanted slow and meaningful combat a few years back and that poe1 was zoom zoom slop, then they added ruthless and none of them play it, lots of core things in poe2 came from streamers takes, like quin saying travel skills are dogshit, but i don't think i can blame them, you know how much it costs to make someone with 10k viewers like forsen to play your game for an hour? we are talking about tens of thousands and poe2 streamers do it for free 12h/day on league launch, some people refuse to acknowledge the huge pull streamers have in the success of a game

Explain how it flopped?
>>
>>537490361
burning ground like flame wall was good early but didn't scale.
big ignite hits were the only worthwhile ones (but also didn't scale very well except for cases like DD where the hit value was coming from corpse hp, which did scale).
small fire hits weren't worth investing ignite chance in for the opposite reason and early didn't get their bonus damage for igniting either, so were useless at all stages.

so GGG changed the mechanic so burning ground wasn't op early and big hits weren't the only worthwhile thing late.

people that played 0.1 clearly aren't returning, and there doesn't seem to be much retention going from 0.2->0.3, meaning people try the game for a league and then just don't really touch it again outside of a core of ~150-200k people that gets smaller every league, 0.4 likely won't break 200k, even if it has a free weekend.

I'm sure it will be "okay" when I have enough crit to get a cast on crit setup going and unleash + wildshards + arc but that isn't available to you in act 2. The point is the spell supported by the tree and the supports I do have access to falls flat on it's face compared to running a 2 link ed + c with zero support. That's shit balancing, I don't believe in playing an entirely different autopilot build until level 50 but this game really forces the issue when the difference is this stark.

>abyssal lich ascendancy specific nodes are so shit you're better off just grabbing the non-abyssal lich ones
Funny but also endemic nature of their design philosophy for 2

Remember the 0.2g nerf?

There's a storm breweing

0.3x is gonna nerf everything to absolute shit

Screencap this

what argument? you are hyping up harvest larping as a crafter when current crafting in poe 1 mogs it completely, not to mention something like the graveyard in necropolis which was just fucking bonkers for crafting.
you didn't craft in harvest, you don't craft now. you sold augments on tft for easy div/h and you got filtered when it was taken away.

jesus

>>537509591
nah, its marketing. the constant chartposting is totally unlike something an actual fan of a niche genre would do. trying to suppress the idea that the games are popular so they don't benefit from social proof
>>
>>537510169
the abyssal apparition and physical explosions are both sidegrades at worst.
definitely worth considering for some builds
>>
>>537509709
Listen man, I just wanted to post one relevant screencap that I thought was funny. I wasn't making any hidden statement nor did I want to get dragged into this shitposting war currently happening. The other guy is baiting but you made it sincere.

>>537510285
Yes we have a d4tard that is upset nobody likes the game but even before d4 released people posted retention rates of the extremely shit leagues they put out prepping poe 2
>>
>>537510236
>people aren't sick of poe 1 they just can't be bothered to play it.
so how many leagues until everyone decides to log back in?
>>
This is the first time I've been watching poe content on YT, why do most poe content creators sound like mouth breathers?

poe1 is in maintainance mode
they're just frog boiling it instead of killing it from the get go to prevent the autistic screeching
>>
>>537509000
what was the best league in ages? mercenaries? the best league in the last 10 months maybe. its basically settlers. every now and then you get to put a new item on your merc but aside from that you are basically playing standard if you arent playing a merc support. which looks like a dreadfully boring build to play by the way but i havent tried it myself

>>537505963
Warrior to Titan was fucking easy in the campaign stacking armor and elem to armor, and fun too blowing up everything in 2 hits, waiting to get to maps to see how it plays there
>>
>>537510501
oh it's deadly alright
but not for enemies

The game has decided i have enough support gems (i don't).
Can I buy them somewhere? 8 hours straight and not a single drop.

or

With how restrictive it is you're only getting it to cast comet and you have to cast it yourself which is fucking awful

mercenaries was just a filler league to give the expansion room to breath, they always do that. ritual, archnem, metamorph, essence, etc. they never have a big league with an expansion.

>Get to act 2 of POE2

huh

>>537510802
It's based entirely on your armor. You need good armor to stack up it's power. After that, you need high phys raw from rings and neck and gloves to scale your skills and percent phys in your tree.
>>
>>537510776
>>Warbringer Corrupted Cry supplementing single target with Totems
If you are using the ancestral totems they straight up don't work
>>
>>537510269
ah yes
> let me just get 6 base items with synth affix and then roll essences + pray then mastercraft and add a veiled orb to hopefully get 5 things I want
and im being nice and not talking about shit you can only get via fossils, which were nerfed to give way to the fucking superior way of crafting, btw
instead of just "lemme just play the game and get the augmentations I need".
get fucked, hideout warrior. You dont play the game, you just trade.

So... poo2 doubles poe1's last peak in the weekend, and i was thinking, well it's just the free weekend, no biggie. Then monday comes and it is still way above poe1's and then I remembered this is with the chinese players leaving for their own client. We are done right? GGG is just going to slowly abandon PoE1

yeah thats pretty much how crafting works in path of exile.
when was the last time you played path of exile 1?
>>
>>537510802
literally any build in this game feels stupid strong if you get good items, while you're levelling and still getting frequent upgrades there's a lot of RNG involved.
>>
>>537509087
I'm not gonna ruin my first playthrough of the game by zooming to maps
i dipped out at the start of act 3

He got hotfixed earlier today too after ben_ was showing how retarded his moves are
>>
>>537510829
it duplicates spells, so it's particularly good with utility shit that doesn't really care about damage.
but yeah, the good node is corpse explosion being converted to physical damage letting bonemancer lich scale everything.
>>
Damn game tricked me into thinking that the rhoa was actually worth using this season because the heavy stun bar didn't work in the interlude and I could just face tank everything without being dismounted. As soon as I stepped into a map though heavy stuns started to build up again.

yeah I only killed him because I figured out I could outrun the tracking on his one-shots by sprinting. I probably had to slowly walk up to him 30 times xD
>>
>>537511019
No, it's following a variant of this build.
https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/corrupting-cry-warbringer-skadoosh
I made my own version of it in .2
But I don't know if there are any changes that make either build worse or better.
>>
>>537511226
what was he doing that he wasn't supposed to be doing?
>>
Is Merc/Crossbow strong compared to the other classes? I only got to Act 2 to check it out, but it seems like a breeze compared to the other classes. I thought it was just ranged supremacy, but Elemental Sorc with a Staff was glacial compared to his machine gun.
Does that even out later on?
>>
>>537511517
his basic autoattacks were one shotting people I think
>>
i want a 1-2button build that shits on campaign and maps
>>
>>537511517
Made adjustments to the Azmadi, the Faridun Prince fight:
Slightly increased cooldown of most of his skills.
Decreased the damage of most of his skills.
Fixed not being able to Dodge Roll through his lacerate attacks.
>>
>>537511226
is ben just playing the campaign over and over because the endgame is that bad? lol

>Fixed a bug where Skeletal Warriors could incorrectly be created without reserving Spirit.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

if 10-12 months was too long for them why would they come back after 16 months?

>Temporal Gale of Inverted Consequence
>Spell, Cold, Chaos, Duration, Time, Conditional Trigger, Movement-Impairing
>Creates a stationary cyclone of chilled wind at target location that lasts 2.4 seconds per 100 Intelligence, rounded down, up to a maximum of 7.8 seconds.
>The cyclone only manifests if you are currently Hindered and have at least 3 Frenzy charges consumed within the last 4 seconds.
>Enemies inside the cyclone are inflicted with Temporal Confusion, a debuff that reduces their Action Speed by 12% if they were recently affected by Wither stacks that were applied by you, but only if those stacks were applied while you were Elusive.
>If an enemy under Temporal Confusion attempts to leave the cyclone, they instead take 4% of their maximum life as Chaos damage over 2.3 seconds, but this effect is prevented if the enemy has at least 1 Endurance charge.
>If you are simultaneously affected by Chill and Shock when casting this skill, the cyclone instead spins counter-clockwise and grants you Reversed Momentum, which increases your cast speed by 5% while moving backwards.
>Reversed Momentum expires if you use a movement skill that does not cross terrain.
these new leaked spells look fucking nuts

he's trying to prove to himself he can make the game as safe for him to play on HC as poe1. once you get to maps the unpredictability goes up and its harder to learn anything.

Do you know what an absolute game changer this would be? If you could link inventory items to price check what's on the market. It would make the game so much more enjoyable.
>>
>>537511692
that's more of a poe1 skill tbdesu, especially the name which sounds like one of those retarded deviant skill gems. a poe2 skill would make up entirely new fuel mechanics that exist only for that one skill, or have it somehow combo with another skill in one very specific way that allows almost no creativity

>>537511653
He's playing a solved build that has already been tested against endgame bosses, he knows how it fill face against oober Arbiter, so whats the point really.
>>
>>537511780
yes I do, blowing all that up with a slam + boneshatter mm
>>
>>537511692
>another dumb frenzy charge use case
what a dumb fucking skill
>>
>>537511653
I think he's kinda like investing(?)/futureproofing since the endgame is gonna get changed anyway and campaign knowledge stays.
>>
>>537504529
Yeah pretty wild that the stated intention of the patch was build diversity but it's fucked even worse than before. How does that happen? Can they not do math?
>>
>>537499070
>idk if there's actual good mods in that abyss mod pool..
it seems to be just the normal mod pool plus a few abyss exclusives that you rarely actually see. for most purposes it's like slamming three exalts and choosing the best option, i.e. very good.
>>
>>537498253
can you not corrupt the +4 into a +5? i don't think they nerfed scepters, but they did nerf trenchtimber
>>
>>537513724
Theres none on the shop, so im going to say either no or its super fucking rare.
>>
>>537507162
Looks like they cooked up this zesty little nigga in a lab somewhere
>>
>>537509087
I cannot. The retention numbers are coming in and I'm absolutely fuming. Not a single free player bought EA?
>>
>>537513894
I just checked the 0.2 patch notes and it's in there. They nerfed trenchtimbre to 1-2 and nerfed scepters to a +4 max
>>
>>537511780
mine do, but I kill them so fast I can't tell either way :)
>>
yeah im done doing 15 attacks against 1 white mob is retarded
>>
hard transition from doom sis to hope bro. playing lightning arrow deadeye and hoping the boss would stand on my rod reminded me too much of sex with your mom last night. hollow palm monk is way more fun and I get to do sick karate.
