I now feel better about PoE's league after the realization that GGG are just overwhelmed and retarded instead of spitefully not putting in the effort.
now that LA rod is dead, whats the fotm leveling build before switching to shockburst/galvanic
>he is a jingakh
>>548958717trvkvlar holocavst
I dont see anything about homo omen being removed in patch notes
12 months 2 classes
So, they removed instilled maps and abys mods and their entire buff is change quantity from 10 to 11%?
>>548958824ywnba maraketh
>>548958678No because you can only use rho while wielding a bow or spear. Being in animal requires you to be wielding a talisman
>>548958803will have to wait for jungroan to tell us
>>548958717SHIT IT DOWN
>>548958848Patch notes aren't complete and will be added to throughout the week
So what class ascendancy is going to get the special hidden new Vaal ascendency from Atziri like the Abyssal Lich from Abyss?
>Bosses now have an Anti-Burst damage mechanic: Once a boss has finished it's emerge or becomes aggro the damage reduction period starts counting down. The damage reduction tapers down from full effect to no effect over the course of this duration. For every unit the boss moves from it's starting location the damage reduction will fall off even faster. Bosses which cannot or barely move have a shorter damage reduction period.>For every unit the boss moves from it's starting location the damage reduction will fall off even faster. That's such a strange thing to add. Why would the boss moving have any impact on it? So now I'm supposed to aggro a boss and then around a bit until I can actually damage them?
>>548958915>2 classesThey aren't even full, just 2 ascensions
Remember when Fubgun couldn't even get 4stones in the gauntlet? That's what playing deadeye does to your brain.
>>548958746>so what was the problem with the endgame? pros making mirrors, shitters sitting on hundreds of div.the problem is that boxes/scarabs are most effective farms in the game and both can be done like 3 days into the league. Upgrading your gear feels pointless if there is no content that you need the gear for
>>548958774>it's not actually about me! well done for noticing anon
Swords 2026
So you kill Arbiter to be able to 4 mod waystones? Or how did that work?
>>548959083PAY BOSS MECHANICS WHAT THEY'RE FUCKING WORTH
>>548958928added craftable t16s and 4 mod tablets, and buffed tablet affixes. every map is t16-17 and has 12 table affixes applied to it + deli
>>548958717he's right
1.0 2027
>>548958748what if they add a male boss who has 2 dicksy/y
So no real new content?
>>548959078gemling
How the absolute fuck are we supposed to "craft" tablets?Just spend a billion chaos till we hit 4 good mods?How is this less annoying than just doing 3 clicks to add fog to the maps?
>>548959083"When the boss becomes targetable"for those who can't understand basic english or game design

>>548959078Gemling Legionaire
>>548958803just play whatever you want in trade league because game balance is irrelevant there.

Is calling someone a Jingahk the same as calling them a nigger?
>>548959151fubgun probably looks like scarrajust the fattest bugman you ever saw
>>548958748whats crazy is that I look like this
>>548959272>omg i need to have every single affix perfectly rolled on every single tabletfuck off lmao
>>548959274get back to work, Jonatroon
Is the game good yet or should I keep trying out Diablo 4? I'm already not liking the open world and it's insane how much health shit drops and nothing is a threat. Maybe I could really increase the difficulty but from normal to hard the game feels no different.
>>548959304>>548959246why because of vaal gems? there is no vaal gems? maybe corrupted gems oh yeah that could work actually
here's your """druid"""
>>548958717The trvke nobody wants to admit
>>548959083it's to make it so Jungroan and Ben can't trivialize every boss in the game by the high-skill innovation of stacking lots of rods or mines on the ground during invuln phases. there now you know the secret of being a premier PoE streamer.
>>548959302build for this feel?
>Atalui's Bloodletting killed without mercy>Rakiata's Flow is ok bro doesn't need a nerfWhat are they thinking?
>The Isn't it tempting? Delirium Atlas Notable has been reworked, it now provides Currency which drops from Delirium Monsters in your Maps is stolen by the Map Boss, Each stolen Currency has a +20% chance to be Duplicated upon defeating the Map Boss if under the affects of Delirium.Is this just for splinters or it means the bosses gonna be currency piñatas now?
>>5489589151 class people only play for a third ring slot, too
>>548959473SIMON SAYS CAST SPARK!
>>548959083Just pull a WoW "fatigue" to "rest" system and reword it to sound positive instead of negative without actually changing any of the numbers.>Bosses will now spawn with more life, but to compensate, you will now gain additional bonus damage the longer the fight goes on!Bam problem solved.
>>548959473Atleast he's white
>>548959176makes him feel more like a pinnacle boss that killing him changes the "atlas". I wonder if they're even trying to give Atziri anything equivalent.
>>5489593634chan niggers are so fucking stupid, they resort to posting an anime girl with the jingakh quote when they have access to a hot sumerian waifu picactual pedo behavior
>All tablets can be 4 mods>we have nerfed all loot from every source because the absolute top end is slightly higher than 0.3.1 (which was still significantly lower than 0.3.0)>This is a buff.
>>548959473thanks
>>548959565it was fucking broken and you know it every bloodmage build used that shit to do dumb dmg
wheres the end game overhaul like promised
>opens patch notes>it's unironically mostly buffsThey even reverted boss unique nerfs kek
>>548959176arbiter could drop rare corrupted tablets. now you kill him for the ability to craft rare tablets.
>earthquake now supportable with overabundanceyup leveling with EQ in act 1 from now on
I'm a Bear Druid main
>Ascendency of literally more tree>IncursionActually basedpogging
>>548959473With exciting features such as:>being told what to cast for a slight damage increase occasionally>spending 2 ascendancy points to unlock nodes on the passive tree you still need to path to>being able to deal double damage to the boss for a handful of seconds if you have aoe and manage to pull them together so it overlaps
FUBGUN SAID DEADEYE GOT BUFFED, NOT NERFED!!! STOP PANICKING!!!!!!! HOLD!!!!!!!! HOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>548959729And every Deadeye was using Rakiata's Flow and 90% of the population was playing Deadeye because it's the most broken build and it will again be the most broken build.
>>548959591this is to prevent stacking rods and mines in the right place on the ground and 1 phasing everything, it's not an attempt to make bosses harder in general or ensure that fights last a given amount of time.
>>548959083>adding bandaid gimmicks on top of gimmicks because the core design is badpoe2 is cooked
>>548959959>xhe thinks deadeye LA is good still
>>548959729Rakiata's flow being literally the most important support gem for anything elemental because it allows you to just completely ignore interacting with enemy resists is fine though, right???
>they poo2ified poe1's breach>but leave poo2's breach unchanged???????
>>548960062they literally stole it from LE lmao
say hello to your next 50% meta share skill this league
>>548958717>seeing all these buffsLiterally everything got nerfed though?????
>>548959690Yes a buff for people that don't want to add delirium to every map
>>548959801monster endgame scaling changestablet changes (and buffs to mods)new pinnacle boss in her own instanced dungeoneveryone is pretending like its not a lot but it's more than Abyss league.
GGG WHERE THE FUCK IS TOTA YOU'VE ALREADY ADDED ACT 4 WITH KARUI SHIT YET IT'S NOT ADDED YET
MAGMA BARRIER STILL NOT FIXEDQUALITY ON COMET STILL DOING NOTHINGRETARDED NIGGGERS
>>548960062arbiter already had the anti-burst mechanic. and poe1 has the same anti-burst mechanic. poe1 is cooked too.
Druid should have been a cute girl.
>>548960079you get more damage by lowering resists 99% of the time, its just a expensive way to be lazy (deadeye players)
>>548960193Instilling waystones was shit and I'm glad it's gone.
>>548960081you WILL play PoE2we WILL continue to enshittify all PoO1 mechanics until everyone gives up on it.Playmyfuckinggame.
>>548960120>>548960120am i missing something? This skill felt like shit due to constant need of reload.Only lich with unique crossbow could use it
>>548960213who the hell wants to play tota, let alone do tota for an ascendancy? where's lab
>>548960235>and poe1 has the same anti-burst mechanic.Unless you're talking about the 2 second tapering DR on bosses, no it doesn't. This is completely different.
>>548959925wow he just can't imagine playing anything more complicated.this is bad.
>>548960120last lament is a kino build, people will be pleased.
>>54896012050% of players will never play crossbows ever
>>548960341Lab is so 2000 and lateEverything must be new
>>548960287Why are you so obsessed with deadeye?Everyone used it. And lowering resists significantly requires investment. Rakiata's allows you to completely ignore it. You're having a fucking laugh m8
>>548960040Whatever its for, people arent going to like feeling like theyre being punished. Thats why everyone loves WoWs rest exp but hated the fatigue exp system even though theyre actually exactly the same thing.
UNINSTALLED THIS SHITTY GAY NIGGER SHIT PISS FART GAME LOOOOOOL IM FREE!!!!!
>>5489602801.4.5 soon
>>548960338Galvanic has been good in every league thus far, it gets overlooked because zoomers focus on what the public views as the "best" and ignore everything right below it.>He probably doesn't know how good shockburst rounds is either
>>548959473>both druid ascendancies are just more sorceress ascendancies>literally has nothing to do with shapeshiftingWhat the actual FUCK were they thinking??
are talismans 1h or 2h?
He's right.Less monsters in an ARPG is good for tactical, visceral, MEANINGFUL combat.
>>548960213Tota needs to be actually good (i.e. completely different to original Tota) or there's no point in adding it.
>>548958717He do be right
>>548960456Kneeled.
>>548960531TRICHADSWINNING
>>548960338hey anon good newsor just take the fucking reload nodes in the giant crossbow literally drawn on the passive tree at the bottom dummy
>>548958717BAN HIMBAN HIM NOW
>>548959083Did they mention this during the stream? Wtf??
>>548960343how is it completely different?
>>548960431whoa grats you're effectively using a 5link AND doing less effective damage because you're too lazy to press a second button.retard
>>548960531HOLY TRINUKETHE TRUTHENING JUST GOT EMBIGGNEDDOOMTERS (doom+doubters) BIGLY BTFO FOR ALL ETERNITY
>>548960338retard
>>548960531>everyone rushes through the campain>people bith it's too slow>remove some of the enemy toons>you can now get through everything faster>this is somehow bad but also the game was too slow before
>>548960438>WoWfuck off back to D4
>>548958717>>548960531It's not looking good for PoE 1 boys
>>548960531isn't less monster density a big nerf to anything that relies on density itself like lightning arrow from poe1
>>548959565Wait, it gets even worse "Rathpith Globe now has "Non-Channelling Spells Have 3% Increased Critical Hit Chance per 100 Maximum Life" (previously 5%)." Bloodmages will have a good time this league, lol.
>>548960708Did the mere mention of it trigger you?
>>548959902It genuinely felt like I was watching an animated shitpost/april fools when they showed that shit. Actually baffling decisisons.
last epoch not looking so bad anymore. Thinking Krafton will have to be better than sharitroon at getting the game out.
>Tri won>Lily won>/poeg/ lost
>>548958717
honestly monster density should be reduced by roughly 99% and every encounter should be a methodical 1v1, so essentially every fight is a boss fight. only shitters would oppose this
>>548960531>More skills viableMany skills are reliant on being AoE and killing many things fast, what the fuck is he talking about?
>>548960721ED contagion bros...
>>548960770For me it was when he did the wolf leap backwards right into the boss mechanic
>>548960531this but unironically.
>>548960809>Thinking Krafton will have to be betterd00d last epoch is on fire because the new classes are all paid dlc
>witch hunter is still bad
>>548960721Stop noticing things.
>Patch notes>Nothing for the new ascendancies y tho
why does everyone love dunes in poe1? it has some of the worst density in the game.
>>548960939Most ARPGs have paid DLCs, what is strange about it?
>>548960857reducing packsize reduces the damage multiplier effect of AoE, making it less mandatory, what are YOU talking about?
>>548960721yes its a huge nerf to heralds, ed+contagion, any on-kill effect or anything that triggers off killing an enemy or damaging a rare/uniquethank console shitters for this
>>548960939>pay jonathan to play test his beta where every patch fails to deliver on promisesI fail to see the difference.
>>548961013Youll be fine, packs still exist.
THIS PATCH IS A CERTIFIED TRIPOCALYPSE FOR ALL THE HATERS AND DOUBTERS
i dont feel like looking at the patch notes or revealdid they fix the endgame yet?
Is this the lightest poe 2 patch we've had? It feels like besides druid nothing is really happening.
>>548961056well theyre actually being good about the expansion packs, sort of, because you do get that for free if you've already paid for the gamebut imagine charging people toplay the druid. sorry 30 buck only class. that'd ruffle some feathers. like especially if you already paid 40bucks for the game
>>548961220Yes
They should sell a "campaign pass". You beat the campaign once on both difficulties and in future seasons you buy the pass adn you can skip the campaign and you toon is given a base level set of armor and skill gems and the rest is up to you to gear up.
>>548961220What endgame?
0.4 is certifiably HARD
>>548961220endgame changes moved to next patch
>>548961276unironically yes
>>548961260Thank poo1 for taking away dev time that couldve been better allocated elsewhere
>>548961083also a nerf to shock and a buff to ignite (flammability values were buffed and there is more time for ignites to tic)it's literally what "people" were saying they wanted, then GGG did it and its suddenly the end of the fucking world of course.
>>548961220Delayed until May.
>>548961029maybe they realized they forgot to add a fucking SHAPESHIFTING ascendancy for the SHAPESHIFTING class and are now panicking.
>>548960120I thought merc sucked because its AR/EV based
>>548961050its relatively small, unobstructed and open
>>548961260Yes by far. They want to stick to their schedule and cut content instead of push the date out so they can finish all the content they had planned
>>548961387>During 3.27>HAHAHA GGG DOESN'T CARE ABOUT YOU POOWUNNIGGERS WHAT A SHIT PATCH>After 0.4>Actually the issue is that PoE1 took away so much dev timeYou retards really need to stick to 1 narrative.
>>548961276Most retarded shit I've read today
>>548961515Very trans coded design theory.
>>548960729And even worse... Well looks like I won't be playing a blood mage this league.
>>548959553anything Witch
>>548961563I have never said that first part, but even if I did, the two don't contradict each other so thats a weird argument to make either way. You can have a bad patch and still say it took away dev time.
>>548961445actually that's normal, poe2 ascendencies are never *directly* tied to a specific weapon type.
>>548961445Shapeshifting and druid are completely separate. This whole talk of "4 classes in one" is a complete fabrication. The druid is just a bad version of sorcereress. Beastfroms are just skills anyone can use.
>>548960531How about I tell you what will actually happen>barely any performance improvement even if CPU bound>movement speed will feel even more of a requirement now as you walk huge spaces of nothing from small pack to another>they will have misjudged how much to increase drops to make up for it and it will be nowhere near enough, GGG will panic and bump it to 8500%>those that find those builds for the speedy gameplay that they've been doing will still be just as speedy after those multiple increase in drop rates to make up for the lack of mobs, they'll just kill fewer shit>that faggot will remain a cum guzzler
>before reveal>everyone laughing at blizzard dropping season on the same day as ggg league>after reveal>people seriously thinking about grim dawn, titan quest, last epoch and d4Everything ggg does digs the hole deeper. They would unironically have more support if they said and did nothing.
>it's another ed/contagion episodeI'm tired boss
>>548961681Isn't witch a literal old hag?
>>548961050they just run 50 Dunes in a row while running at a billion miles an hour. what they like is just the simplicity of the pathing. you are now aware why poe2 is designed differently.
The patch is like 96% buffs except for constricting command, deadeye, endgame rune stacking, and LA/LR. But the people crying about nerfs all are copying streamer builds so they will have to wait until they're told what's good again.Witchhunter is unbelievably tanky now and despite having played it in 0.3 I feel compeled to do it again for Hc.Shield wall was also totally untouched.
>>548961361>>548961428is this a joke? 0.4 was supposed to be THE big endgame patch
>>548961771anyone can use********only characters pathing through the STR/INT tree get access to the 20 mandatory increased shapeshifting speed nodes and talisman buffs
Swapped to a new character, currently using Shattering Steel and it's pretty fun. Haven't allocated any skill points but this is gonna be a Cyclone guy. Already know 1 piece or armor I'm dead set on using, and I wanna use that Paradoxica I bought. Bringer of Rain (corrupted with +2 level to socketed gems), and Cyclone of Tumult
>>548961501it has awful monster density but you can add league mechanics to it to increase density. we now the the equivalent of 6 0.3 tablets per map. maps are probably going to be more loaded up than before, and abyss has a passive tree and tablets.
>gigantic nerfs across the board>only 1 new class, no new ascendancies>no endgame shakeup>40% less monster densityIs anyone actually excited for 0.4? This is looking like another 0.2.
>>548961876>>they will have misjudged how much to increase drops to make up for it and it will be nowhere near enough, GGG will panic and bump it to 8500%Yeah this one>>that faggot will remain a cum guzzlerThis too
>>548961428Next patch should be 4 months, so March
>>548961917no it's mostly fake. blizzard try to dampen the hype every leage. but of course you know that.
>>548961995uh, talkative tri?
>>548962076Anon...
>>548962136Who the fuck cares about some actual retard?
>>548961995>no endgame shakeupthe endgame shakeup just killed 3.27.worst retention in the history of the game.
>>548961975lollmaowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwkek
>>548962136Tri would promote scat if Jonathan said it saying it's actually good to truly absorb all nutrients that the body missed the first time around.
>>548961410>ignite proliferation sucks, what do we do?>reduce density by 40% so it sucks even harder!herald of ash overkill ignites are gonna be extra worthless now
So, what's it gonna be?EDC into lament?Shield wall into... uhhh what can you even do late game on warrior, that is not 2 button autism?Invoker something? (whirling assault with buffed aoe looks funny)Spears? (primal strike got buffed)
>>548961995only one new class and it's the fucking druid. someone post THAT webm of the bear druid slogging around
>>548962187i thought we were just lsting who was excited
do you think Chris got fired by tencent because he was the one who suggested 2 campaigns 1 game and flushed 4 years of dev time down the turlet
>>548961876this
My nigga TRI
>>548961995Even patches for PoE2 are shaping up to be dogshit. The worst part is this coming after the meh 3.27. What are they even doing in GGG?
>>548962240Eh?
>>548962287
>>548961461merc now has blue life 2.0 until they add red life to the tree your only options will be blue life or blue-ish life
Jungroan literally makes the best POE 2 builds and he doesn't even like poe 2
YoI'm going to the storeAnyone want anything
>>548961931>except for constricting command,they didnt even really nerf constricting command much; you could already just take all the Surrounded shit with a CC that reduced Surrounded to 1 instead of 0 if you were poor and it's 90% as good. Against bosses it's literally unchanged, when mapping if there's 0 enemies near you you're sprinting or the map is cleared anyways. It's still gonna be the BIS helmet for anyone able to reach the bottom of the tree
>>548962538Actually his discord followers pull builds from KR forums and Jung shares them as if they are his own
>>548960883For me it was the awkward pauses for effect as the footage showed wolf form doing zero damage to a basic rare
>>548962491red life is fine if you play warrior. only really sucks for greentards, who are forced into going blue life or pure glass cannon
Yep, I'm thinking this is going to be a BANGER of a league, gentlemen!Huge Ws all around!
>>548962645Choccy milk and some of that white cheddar popcorn
>>548962645happiness
>>548961934100% serious, they didn't have the whole endgame rework done even though they were saying just a few weeks ago that it was coming, they knew it wasn't but they strung us along and now it's not coming and we get nothing until 0.5. They also admitted that having to do two seasons is killing their dev progress and they will be lucky to get the game to full release before 2027.
>Maps are absolutely massive>Reduce mob density to make it more emptyYou know, why isn't the option to reduce this for "performance efficiency" proposed?
>>548962717CERTIFIED HARD
>>548962645Swords
>>548962253ignite proliferation barely exists in poe2, as you'd know if you played it, which you don't.
>>548962491anyone played WD last season? How much shiled you had?I had 8k by going hybrid and converting all evasion in armor
>>548962731I'll get you a Dr Pepper
Anyone else going to be watering their plants in 0.4?
>>548962301>sell company, 80% upfront, 20% after a few years>afk in your office for 6 years playing with your mtg collection>guy you hired 10 years ago starts doing the job you stopped doing years ago>sell the last 20% and have nothing left to do>retire so you can make your dream game, a diablo 2 clone.
>>548962771And they just announced a support for it
>>548960883yea i saw that lol
>>548962717Yeah Tri looks like someone who cuts people up and eat them to gain powers.
Does the >rare and unique monsters remove 5% of life and ES mod on T17s instakill you if you have CI?
>>548962764actually they just made base t15 mob density the same as t1.
Ben already talking about logging back into PoE if Druid isn't good.
>oraclewhat in the fuck is this stupid ass shit - there are like 5 different themes you could pick that would fit druid memes like shaman etc and they pick this
>>548962981My favorite part was when Jonathan lied through his teeth in front of 100K people saying this is what we all asked for
>>548963072if?
>Rhoa Mount: No longer increases your Movement Speed. Now has 100% reduced Movement Speed penalty from using Skills while mounted (previously 80%).Wtf
>>548963153most people itt never fought arbiter, they were asking for it.
Can Oracle see into the future where PoO 2 is retired and all assets are merged back into PoE1?
>>548963153I asked for that.
I fucking hate trade leaguers man. You guys ruin every thing and poison the well for SSF.
SIXHUNDREDTHOUSANDCONCURRENT
>>548963198gaped
>>548961751>>548961771Yeah just how like warrior ascendancies have nothing to do with maces....oh wait it's all slam nodes!
>>548962716Nah bro red life is still shit for warrior. Source: i played a super tanky warrior and it still felt like shit compared to my 18k es doedre's undoing abyssal lich (which wasn't even close to full potential as I should have had more like 30k es)
>>548963198This means rhoas can sprint now right?
>>548963331retard
six hundred thousand concurrent turds one bathtub
>>548963153based Jonathan for doing what's right for the game instead of listening to shitters like you. I hope that if anything GGG ignore you even more.
>>548963421Maybe, but the idea that just outright running is much faster than riding a mount is hilarious
>make the characters mostly ugly>make the Witch literal old woman>now make the queen of the vaal almost naked with big titsWhat are they doing?I thought they want grimdark, why does new boss look like this?It doesn't even make sense, no queen would dress like that.
>lock skills to weapon types>soft lock classes to weapon types based on start position>make sure ascendancies don't give you anything except generic buffsexactly what is the goal here?
every time they introduce some mechanic they inevitably make it some fucking retarded shit that is only viable if you are X ascendancy with like 5 specific uniques that all interact in some fucking gay ass manner. These devs are so fucking aggravating to me constantly.
>>548963495they were originally for attacking without a move speed penalty, they reworked them in 0.3, this just reverts it to the way it was.
Just drop poe1 already it's fucking dogshit and literally no one plays it. Shitty fucking brownoid game holding back poe2.
I'm logging into Dungeon Siege
>>548963292>>548963303of course, people don't quit the game before arbiter because its too hard, they quit because the gameplay becomes undifferentiated and samey.
>>548963198....so why does this exist?
>>548963326Trade league buys 99% of supporter packs so you SSF guys don't really get a vote when it comes time to design game mechanics or balance drop rates. You're just not relevant.
>>548963552Said queen was a four tittied red giantess in 1 so this is actually censorship.>>548963584So you play GGG approved builds. Please play lightning again.
>>548963552I dress like that
>>548962237>3.27>endgame shakeupthey just deleted a bunch of shit and nerfed loot
Best transformation build will be pathfinder
>>548960852thats literally just Nioh (which would filter poo2 shitters btw)
>>548963358Warbringer and Smith aren't.
I sense another 0.2 on the horizon.
>>548963654ssfgawds fund the game by purchasing private leagues to play with their numerous friends
>>548961931Shield wall was buffed, they removed ahn downside and toned down kaom's
Imagine if ds_lily does an atziri cosplay
>>548963552>witch a literal old womanWhat's with this sudden, completely incorrect meme?
>>548963456Its a giga nerf to rhoas because they can't sprint
What do I think of the patch notes?
>>548963198This was literally how it worked on release and it was retarded that they added the MS buff to it
>>548963552>>548963890She's definitely under 30
>>548963930big shit
>>548963889Fucking hell bro now I'm going to be hoping for that all week
>>548959473Medivh at home
>>548963584there are ranger xbow builds and monk bow builds and warrior spear builds, I feel like its working as intended?
>>548963879>ssfgawds fund the game by purchasing private leagues to play with their numerous friends>ssfgawds>friendsHmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
>everyone in this thread saying that everything got nerfed>check patch notes>almost everything got buffedpoe1 niggas are so pathetic
why dont they just make the game fun?
>no endgame changes>no tota>no 5th actWHAT is in this patchdruid has been in development for like 5 years and the league mechanic is recycled from poe1 (again)
>>548960341>>I want to make a slow and methodical strategic game with positioning and stuff yeah like elden ring that games cool>Uh ... Okay John.. Should we like.. Go work on lab then? That probably fits well>>NO! No lab! Make it sanctum and ultimatum to get your ascendancy points!>>Also add that cool autobattler thing to the roadmap, we can do it in like 2024 we should have all the classes in by then
I wish I had friends to start a small private league
>>548963792I really liked Nioh, But Nioh 2 bored the shit out of me, especially with the fucking red attack nonsense and the monsters seeming 2x as tanky as the first game. Does it get better? I put like 40 hours into the first game but only 20 into the second. and didnt get nearly as far at all.
>>548964110>>no totathat's a good thing though?we need to remove ultimatum and sanctum and retvrn to tradition with Izaro and the lab.
>>548963804Yeah, bringer is shields and warcries, and smith is dogshit that no one should ever play
>>548964004glad I deleted my wow account with atiesh, fuck blizzard
>>548963804warbringer has 4 nodes for shields and 4 for totems. How is that any different than if druid had 4 nodes for talismans (shapeshifting)?
>>548964092And yet you can't name 1
>>548964176T R V K E RVKE
>>548963912Sprint doesn't matter when you never have to stop moving and can hold mouse 1 down without any sort of penalty. You guys are vastly overrating sprint.
>>548961931don't forget the stage where they complain about being forced to play streamer builds because GGG "won't balance the game".
>>548963792>nioh>filteting anyoneGame only starts hard, it becomes easy when you learn that kai restore or whatever
>>548963792>>548964163Nioh sucks they should model shadow gameplay on ninja gaiden.
Aside from the tota/endgame disappointment, I actually love what they did with Incursion. Synthesis map building was very fun, and this means we don't have to get all the shit parts of synthesis. Really hopeful that it's good, because it is going to have to carry the rest of the game
>>548964095they're incapable of doing this. all they can ever think about is friction.
>>548964262It matters now that there is 40% less density
>>548963584>>soft lock classes to weapon types based on start position>current strongest meta build is Witch with a crossbow, the weapon on the exact opposite side of the treehuh?
>>548963642think before you post, retard
>>548964358My one complaint is that Synthesis' aesthetics were fucking kino. This Vaal shit is boring in comparison. This means we'll probably never get another Synth league.
>>548964231Sunder: Now has 40% of base attack speed (previously 35%)
>>548964163Idk i enjoyed 2, i played through all difficulties and started doing that dungeon thing... A few years ago now so i don't remember fully.1 feels like a lifetime ago. Abusing invincible "musou mode" type shit was cancerous in 1, tho.
poo2 so bad im going back to playing keepers
Can't wait for>There are only 5 monsters in my map, is this a bug?posts
WRAECLAST NEEDS MEEEEEEEE
>>548964582poe2 is getting strand'd
>>548964163Countering the red attacks is optional, and the monsters are not tankier, your build was probably just terrible. 2 is an objective upgrade in every way over 1, i think you just let your biases cloud your judgement.
>>548964447This change is going to kill the league and Fub is going to rile his retarded playerbase up and get them to turn on the patch.
>>548964582btw we also made maps larger to increase immersion of hunting for mosnters
>>548964603>BALD FUCKING RETARD'S DESIGNS WERE FLAWEDDid they really need to lean into it?
>>548964158i did that in 3.26 and while it was fun, i hated how the league is time limitedeven if you shill out the big goy bucks its capped at 2 monthsto me, part of the fun of playing ssf is that you rack up a lot of weird and cool items that you can make a build with. knowing that the league will end in a few weeks gives you a weird kind of fomo where it feels like anything you find is useless because you wont have the time to use it, even if you would have quit within those 2 months anyway
>>548964491He means whenever you open up a gem it auto takes you to the pre-approved "correct" gem page, rather than basing it on current weapon type, or a neutral page you can select from.Its not soft locking at all but it is obnoxious.
>>548964231witch hunter
>>548963584Minions get particularly buggered on this. There used to be some consolation minion nodes on the far south but they got removed for some reason
>>548964447remember this in 3 weeks when you are itt saying the changes to tablets turned the poe2 endgame into lootsplosion slop like poe1.
>>548964603>>548964758Venarius did NOTHING wrong.
>>548964758My favourite part of that fight is how he shit talks Valdo's designs and then pulls out "his own creation" that's literally the exact same things we just killed
I'm going to water my plants
>>548963552Lorelet. She dressed like that to flaunt her beauty and fluster men that came to her. Its specifically stated in 1.
am I the only one that actually likes the mob density/monster effectiveness change? It's GGG finally moving away from the clearspeed meta that has plagued PoE for years. Defenses and damage will actually be importance for once.
>>548964754>Isometric Mon HunHMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
Cant wait to see retards crying after getting baited by WH """""""BUFFS"""""""
Just watching the content reveal now>The wolf will leap forward and rape his foesWhat did he mean by this!?
TWO GAMESZERO GOOD PATCHES
>>548965020Delete this.
>default subtitle language on Youtube reveal video is Chinese
>>548964913Yeah I don't really get the problem with this, it's literally what D2 did
>>548964358If the Vaal mechanic is bad, this is shaping up to be the worst league of all time.
>>548964214>>548964214shields also exist in intStr and StrDex forms and can be used by anyone with the stats. Shockwave totems isn't restricted to Maces and neither are slams lmao there are quaterstaff and spear slams skills? plus ancestral totem works for any weapon skill. what is your point? the wbringer totem nodes ought to work with spell totems. quote:>Yeah just how like warrior ascendancies have nothing to do with maces....oh wait it's all slam nodes!
>>548964806My gripe with witchhunter is still that 2 of his branches are (almost) completely useless against bosses
>>548964913every map is going to be t16+ and have a juiced deli mirror and abyss in it. maps are going to be denser.
>>548965089what do our CCPbrothers think of the patch?
>>548964913I love it. I was expecting them to cave to the poe1ers, but what Mark said about using the 0.5 atlas tree to allow people to specialize in making mobs tougher instead of spamming pack size on everything gives me enough hope to suffer through this barren patchunderwhelmed by the amount of changes, but still happy with the overall direction
>>548964840To be fair, these changes will make it more accessible, yeah. No insane delirium damage reduction, and no having to use expensive delirium mats to juice maps. Just rolling with existing currency.Beating normal arbiter once shouldn't be too bad for most people... But they do need to majorly buff how often you find the forts or whatever you call them; i didn't find a single one all the time i explored my 0.3 atlas.The atlas in general is too rng. I was on t 15/16 maps by the time i found my 2nd corrupted area.
>>548965153>plus ancestral totem works for any weapon skill.this part is incorrect, forgot to delete it.
>he doesn't water his plants
>>548964787for everything wrong with the game, it was actually releasing it on consoles that really wrecked everything. skill gems into a tablet / cellphone style menu of managing your gems that covers the entire fucking screen and looks bad and there's zero fucking options to do anything else
>>548964787I imagine that could be slightly annoying in act 1 but the default is the Equipped page for when you're upgrading gems after that
Remember this day where 2rists are insisting that the density reduction is good. Never let them forget.
this is going to feel worse than we think.
reminder to load up on Couture of Crimsons before a streamer makes them meta. They got a 40% increase in max life buff and the overleech was already insane
>>548965317>combos requiring being a dragon watering plants to do damagewhat the flipping heck are we doing!
>>548964913it's definitely a step in the right direction. >It's GGG finally moving away from the clearspeed meta that has plagued PoE for yearsno, the game will always be balanced around how fast you can kill monsters. but glass cannon DPS and AoE will be slightly less emphasized.
>>548965460This is just covid aftereffects
>>548964913>defences and damage will actually matter for once>for once... Have you never actually played poe1? Have just alched and gone every single map with no scarab investment ever?Bro you need to be hitting multiple millions of dps to feel half decent in poe1 and hit over 10 million for pinnacle content to not be painful. Ehp has also always been hugely important.Like how could you suggest damage and survivability has never mattered? It matters immensely every single league?
qrd on plant watering?
>>548965317sounds like a jingakh
why do they keep on pushing down charges as a new source of consumable to activate skills
>>548965002That is what I heard too and I am ready to log in.
>>548965391pooners are the tourists of poe 2. This aint your game unc
>>548962778if you go leatherbound gauntlets+iron reflexes with a high armor base gloves you can get really high armor without much effort, thats how aurabot tacticians do it
>>548965460So i'm assuming literally no one actually plays this game right? 99% of loot already only came from the rares.
>>548965572Druid has nature spells and also a spell that causes a rainstorm.
>>548965572Dragon pisses on them from above while flying
>>548965683>So now there's less raresCool.
>>548964913I fucking loved loot pinatas from nemesis so if they do it in poe2 I'm all for it
>>548965683before the news>raaah why is rares the only things that drop anything and normal mobs are worthlessafter>nooooo my normal mobs how will I cope
>>548965460if you can't kill the arbiter or run 6 mod maps it will be hilariously bad. if you aren't shit your maps will be juiced to the tits. natural monster density doesn't matter.
>>54896546020 monsters? Whoever told you we had pack sizes of 20? Its always been 12. In .1 we had 11 monster packs and were happy. Remember Blight never had more then 10 monsters a lane. You were hyped to see 8 pop out an abyss. 6 monsters at a time? Unheard of.
>>548965683>his build was slow enough that he could tell when he was killing rareslol, aoelets
>>548965683less mob density = fewer rares per map anon
I don't see a patch note where homog was removed?
>>548965391Grim.>>548965545These retards got raped in yellow maps and have to cope about the game being bad instead of them being bad.
The mob density change makes PoE 2 more like Diablo 3 post-RoS in terms of clear feel which is good
>>548965347So true, I fucking hate being able to have every skill gem in the game on one page and see all their names and icons without having to individually hover over them or use the search bar
>>548965460I got a feeling player numbers will have same correlation
>>548965347The absolute worst thing is that they refuse to turn off auto targeting on pc.It fucks me up ALL THE TIME.No you dogshit fucking game, I do not want to target an enemy almost a metre away from my mouse. I want my GROUND TARGETED SKILL to target THE GROUND AT MY CURSOR
>>548965949What do you mean you can't tell from the icons alone?
>>548965867good, characters that can't survive 6 mod maps don't deserve juicerest in piss to the 6 portal defense builds. Also for them losing the Vaal limbs lmao
>>548965867>your maps will be juiced to the titswow that's completely unlike before then
if you were building defenses to deal with t17 titanic exiles, you're still a little gup
>>548965347>>548965949These discussions all seem like reorganizing the deck chairs on the titanic when the elephant in the room is in Poe1 whenever you reached a new threshold you had like 20 skill gems to pick from, in poe2 you get two or maybe three because of the draconian weapon criteria.
>>548962287>someone post THAT webm of the bear druid slogging around
>>548966064similar, you will be getting more loot than before.
>>548965603chat GPT said it would be a cool idea.
>>548965460>players want less monster density>PERHAPS YOU WOULD LIKE YOUR ABYSS TO SPAWN MORE MONSTERS *literally shows a 25% increased monsters spawned node*
>>548966016they did actually fix this, there's a setting for it.
>they're still doing the 1 portal per map shitDoes literally anyone like that?
>>548966223>Open sealed areasOkay thats sick please replace jonathon with chatgpt.
Soo... are you just supposed to go titan if you want to play bear form?
>>548966284I do. I play hc and like to laugh at softkeks for complaining about it
>>548964913No, 1. It won't stick, 2. You'd need to drastically change the way the game works to actually get what you want. How will the game never be about clear speed? The point of the game is to make currency. You get more by being more efficient.
>>548966132>you had like 20 skill gems to pick fromwhy the fuck is everyone in this general so insanely disingenuous. Yeah man in Path of Exile 1 every build has so many options to include a wide variety of skill gems in their builds. It definitely isn't just one skill + 5 auras + 2 utility gems
>>548966214unless you die because you are a glass cannon player who expected the same amount of defenses to guarantee survival against monsters that all have higher hp and ailment thesholds. it's a great change.
>>548966223thats why they added them to poe 10 years ago, also why they named them charges. >demand (an amount) as a price from someone for a service rendered or goods supplied.
>>54896625225% of 0 is still 0, chud
Uhh... guys?
>>548966274Oh shit really where? My frostblink keeps namelocking and sending me in the utterly wrong direction.
>>548966284Yeah it naturally filters out retards that can't into risk/reward
How the fuck does this workI have 176% quantity and it didn't count it
I do think it's pretty funny that GGG is increasingly adding more and more mediumcore mechanics like that Vaal limb thing. It makes shitters seethe so hard.
>>548966284glass cannon retards deserve to lose their maps.
>>548966426>No, 1. It won't stickIt will because Mark said they're going to add ways in the 0.5 atlas tree to increase pack size again for the people who prefer that
>>548966375Prove it.
>>548966472I was explaining charges to the AI anon. read the reply chain
>>548966442Are you illiterate? Anon is just saying that as you progress in 1, a bunch of new options are dumped on you that you could try out. This is the literally the case.
>>548965153Post your endgame spear slam build, disingenuous faggot.
>no shapeshifting ascendancyWhat the fuck is this shit?
>>548966478What?
>>548966714Rawr
>>548966478yup, all t16+ maps with 12 tablet affixes(that were also buffed). >this is a nerf
>>548966594>5 scarabs applied
My issue with 40% less monsters and I dont think the majority of people bitching about full screen clear actually want fewer more elite enemies they are just mad their vibes build isn't doing it.Out of all the pootourists from wow I know a bunch complained. But they didnt boss in poowun. They didn't einhar. They didn't rogue exile. They didn't juice rare and unique. They blighted. They legioned.The ones who pootoo wanted breach and abyss and sold their boss shits.
>>548966658>to increase pack size again for the people who prefer thatSo in the end it will be required thus making the game no different, begging the question why even do this
>>548966725It's an uncorrupted map, anon.
We thought Jonathan had already pooed his pooest. Little did we know he could poo lower.
>>548966132This much I can agree on. It's less bad now because Cruel is gone but not being able to even test some skills until 50+ is really lame. It's extra bad for things like Flicker that are heavy buildarounds.At least Mark acknowledged that's shit and the patch notes had them moving some skills down some tiers but really the number of them should just be reduced outright>>548966442True however
>>548966884No, he specifically said he wants to allow you to either increase pack size or effectiveness and balance the rewards so that they are equalWatch the Q&A
the more i think about it the less i want to play
>>548966473My point is they said players wanted less density and then immediately showed that more density was an appealing atlas investment
I am sorry i missed streamHow exactly druid talismans work?Is this weapon? Is this amulet? is this available for every class?
We need to start a petition telling GGG that we don't want anymore leagues and to just work on finishing the game.
K E KEK
>>548966442You might be a metaslave but I'm not. Yes I ran bizarre inefficient washout builds. No it wasn't good. At least I could find out for myself instead of just being disallowed from slotting the gem in the first place.And that's taking for granted that what you're saying is even a reasonable representation of the state of affairs, which it is not. Flicker strike on a mace? Can't have that. Herald of blood on a summoner? No sorry, that's for spears only, despite the fact its not even an attack so you can't even use the usual excuse of "we couldn't be fucked making animations for this skill, for more than one weapon class".
>>548966478Holy fuck I just noticed.Was anything mentioned in the patch notes? Can they drop naturally from t15s now?
>>548967037THIS>>548967061HFK
>>548967061nvke
How is needing to build the layout of a map supposed to be fun? That's like going to mcdonalds and building your own burger.

>doomer jeets are so spent all they can do is screenshot chatgpt.
>>548967237oh so now we're back to hating on synthesis
>>548967237GGG listened to Reddit uncs who swear Synthesis was totally a Le Hidden Gem league that was actually super cool and good and EVIL STREAMERS HATE PLAYED it
>>548967237Have you seen the "people" making your food? I would gladly take the option to put my own food together.
ZiggyDon't. ZiggyStop.
Firestorm already did top-tier boss damage in 0.3 despite being bugged and not being able to apply ailments. With the +1 storm limit, bugfixes, and general infusion buffs in .4 it's looking like one of the strongest builds in the game.
>>548967237It's for the people who like planting explosives in expedition - nobody. (No buffs to expedition btw)
>>548967237This is no different than tailor fitting your atlas tree. It really just depends on how "fun" the pieces they give you will be though.
>>548967357Now we need to get Bestiary back (with nets of course).
>>548966487I don't have the game installed rn, it's one of those things where it wasn't making as much difference as you probably think but you really notice when it was making you miss. if you change to ground targeting you have to adjust to the cursor always targeting the ground against wildly different height-monsters (you have to aim at their feet basically).
Okay, I gotta be real, I was pretty let down by the reveal and was pretty pissed after it. However the longer I think about the, the more things there are that make me wanna play it. Think I'm actually a bit hyped now.
>no endgame rework>3rd ascendancy trial not added>druid dead on arrival>every ascendancy nerfed>league mechanic is massive time sinkNice league poo2 bros. This will deal the killing blow to PoE1, no doubt
Bros, I am gonna start wolf.From what i gathered all his abilities are cold based, anyone played with any cold builds and can give some tips about usefull nodes or something?
>The Frozen Mandibles monster can once again no longer be bound as a Spectre or Tamed Beast.NOOOOOOOOOO I WAS GOING TO LEAGUESTART SPECTRES FUCK!>Buffed Summon Spectre variants of certain monsters in each Act and their Endgame variants. Further details on which monsters have been adjusted will be posted separately prior to release.Ideally buffed in movement/skill/action speed and spirit reservation but I'm not holding out hope.

>>548967237The next billion dollar idea is a restaurant that brings you into the kitchen and you cook the meal you ordered. It's like those meal kits but in a physical location outside your house.
>>548966881incomprehensible post
>>548967484>This will deal the killing blow to PoE1, no doubtwill you finally go back to diablo 4?
I wish one of the people doing interviews would ask about data on people in maps crafting their gear vs buying their gear.The idea that gear should be better for picking up instead of crafting sits weird for me since it has long been assumed that most players just buy their gear one exalt one divine at a time.
>playing off-leagueretards. 0.1, 0.3, etc are the real leagues. 0.2, 0.4, etc are the shitty filler leagues that only exist to be so bad that when the next league isn't bad everyone wants to come back
>>548966132actually my big thing about getting bored in poe 2 campaign is that you slot some support skills right out of the gate in clearfell and then you don't get any support gems until like act 3 or later? like whatever in poe 1 because that should take you an hour and a half and you could argue that im just slow in poe 2 but it really feels like i'm just not doing anything for hours
>>548967472Right, its global I take it? Why didn't they just add another checkbox alongside the per-skill attack without moving checkbox.In any case, thanks. Its probably better than nothing. I found a massive difference between holding the frostblink when I'm jumping around vs just spam clicking. I suppose I could set up a ma
It's time to watch the poe streamerman (mathil) read me the patchnotes
>>548967501Pick the ones that say increased cold damage. Avoid the increased fire and lightning damage nodes as they won't do anything
>>548967237>0.4 you have to build your own map layout>0.5 you have to code in swords yourself if you want to play them
Reminder that every nerf will effectively be reverted with buffs in a week or two post-launch after reddit complains enough.
>>548967606>Real leagues are when they add an entire classHMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
ngl I kinda forgot that we were probably supposed to get TotA, kinda weird that we aren't getting TotA
>>548967237It's not going to be fun just like Synthesis unless construction takes very little time.
>>548967676kek I realized you're talking about poe1 and i don't even know if its in that game or not. my bad.
>>548967501I think the wolf being able to pop marks whenever it wants is actually a severely underrated reveal and will be really good for bossing.
>>548967369yo....that sounds like a legit business idearenting out a kitchen area (with area for eating) with pre-stocked foods and cooking itemsgetting to make the food just how you like it without dealing with cleanup or dishes and shit
>>548967585I will be going back to PoE1 (the superior game)
>>548967606pretty much. this is the 0.5 hype building league0.6 will be another shit fillter league0.7 will be 1.0
>>548967453i like that>no buffssadge
>>548967867have fun. dunes or beach?
>>548967518My main issue was that even with frozen mandibles, mapping was slow. They had giga dps but even with like 7 up they just hit 1 monster at a time, no splash damage. Also cancerous fucking 0 damage aoe ice explosions constantly going off.
This feels like even more of a skip league than 0.3, even though 0.3 didn't even have a new class.
>petrified blood gets turned off some how>none of the other aura's in the item got turned off>dieNIGGER NIGGER NIGGER AHHHHH NIGGER FUCK HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO PRESS CTRL+T ACCIDENTALLY IN GAME

>>548959083because the mine rework in 3.8 letting iciclefags instaphase bosses mindbroke these faggots so bad they have done nothing but spam health and DR on bosses every since.
>>548963890I remember there was lore about witch being old, or was that poe1 and poe2 is different?
>more comments than upboatsits over, isnt it?
>>548967518>make it so spectre spirit cost is handpicked>still randomly prohibit certain spectres anyways :)))))))my fucking god, how retarded can they be? all the effort of manually tweaking spirit values like enslaved monkeys, yet they don't even use the system to its own end
Diablo 4 unironically won.
Sorcery ward better with hybrid or pure one or the other?
>>548967518So their solution to all of the specters sucking ass is...........remove the single one that didn't suck ass?
ultrawide brosdo we play centered ui or not?
>>548960310no, queer
>>548967670Support gems I don't find as bad as skill gems since there's no level requirement on supports, but I find the support gem selection to be underwhelming. Mostly 30% more damage default options that make every six link into effectively a 2 link with an assumed 30%x4 more damage. Then the last gem is a selection from three or four support not "just 30% more damage" gems that are actually allowed to be equipped on the skill.The funky new unique gems are a mix of the prior and the latter, though there are a few standouts. Shit like brutus' brain I find interesting. Applicable to a range of niche uses of various types of minions. As opposed to being mandatory on every minion, or mandatory on one particular minion.
are slams still terrible?

>>548968195I think most of them are like this though, can't be bothered to check. Only 350 boats is low I think
>>548967837Sucks because I doubt we will get penance mark or hateful accuser anytime soon since it would kind of step on the feet of this.

>>548968587Why? Note that Core and Phantasmagoria are different. Phanta is just a very long corridor ending with a fat Doedre fight.
>>548968576>"We have a huge endgame rework, with new pinnacle bosses, new mechanics and tons of new content"yeah that's all in 0.4 m8
>>548968587I actually fell in love with it this league; long straight corridors, no side areas, everything is condensed and right in front of you. It also meant running into a blight hive or fortress fucked up less of the map, and meant i didn't need to explore to find the harbingers/essence monsters/beasts.I just zoomed through and everything was right there in front of me.
>>548968436I've had fun doing strong mace builds but every thing I've done that with has been nerfed. Enjoyed HOTG, got nerfed. Enjoyed perfect strike, got nerfed. Enjoyed magma barrier, got nerfed. None of these held a candle to the deranged shit that deadeyes or invokers could/can do as well. Resonating shield is the only that hasn't been nerfed and I suspect they just missed it in the patch notes this round.
Genshin Impact WON
>>548968745Why not Strand tho?
Pepe jonatroon player numbers are cratering!
My only hope for this league is some atziri rule 34 and not the AI sloppa kind.
>>548968696because it looks awful and the chokepoints and random lumps in the hallways are obnoxious
0.4 and Keepers league are both such barebones leagues despite having uninterrupted development time.0.5 and the next PoE1 league are going to miss 3 weeks of dev time over Christmas and New Years. It's going to be grim
>>548968974I want to see her getting KARUI'D

>>548968974Tyty is buying 2 bras as we speak im sure.
>>548968902Strand is tiny and has ledges, and especially in keepers a hive or fortress will eat up almost all non-tile-based content because the map is so small.
>>548968974Are there even blender/sfm porn since 2 released?
>>548968780oh well in that case just do what you did before and wait for the streamers to tell you what is OP. the actual balance of the game isn't really relevant with your approach.

>>548969159Is there a shield skill I don't know about????? Shield wall? I'm pretty sure thats meta and that's the only one I didn't describe right?
>>548966478Was this added last mid season patch? Or was it in the announcement vid?
i'm just gonna wait for tytykiller(pre-transition form) tier list
>>548961276The answer isn't gearing people up to do mappingThe solution is negative tier waystones and pinnacle bosses to get the skill points you skipped by not doing the campaignFor the losers that don't want to do the campaign, here's 5 tier -15 or whatever waystones that start at level 1 and you work your way up to proper mapping
>>548969265yeah shield wall is meant to be good.
>>548969059when was the last good poe1 league?
>>548969267Just casually shown in the announcement vid with no context aside from having reduced monster speed modifiers on map mods.

>>548969368Yes, I am flabbergasted that I would be accused of being a metaslave.My last build was a faridun impaler build using resonating shield. It was utter garbage. I'm about as far from a metaslave as possible.

>Ceremonial Ablution now instead grants Sorcery Ward also protects against Physical and Chaos Damage.LMAO?
Druid should be able to shapeshift into a woman
Lake of Kalandra was my most-played league of all time. What does that say about me?
>>548969698Only if Witch and Sorceress get male alts.
>>548969676There was content in 3.26 they just needed to add more instead of removing it
>>548969298Campaign once every league is fine.Campaign every fucking alt is painful (in poe2, it doesn't bother me as much in poe1).I think unlocking the atlas and mapping should give you an option to start mapping from the get go. Especially in PoE2, where waystones determine map level and mods, rather than the maps themselves being items, it would be simple to create waystones with lower monster level ranges.Corrupted zones could give you passive points you lost out on in campaign. Until you're on real maps.You start out at negative resistances etc. Because you're an alt, they'll be easy to solve.
>>548969698Tyty...
>>54896967830% playrate in HC incoming
>>548969735It was probably the first league you actually "got" PoE. For me it was Synthesis and I loved it.
>>548969735you probably don't use shield charge
>>548968785factual
>>548969673Wrong btw
>>548969676maybe they should stop balancing the "end game" around this insane autistic min maxing that only autistic math nerds without jobs or families are able to figure out. anyone who has spent years making their own builds know how bad it actually is right now. If you don't have a PHD in unemployment you wont get anywhere in this game without stealing builds like a beta cuck.

>>548969821Exactly. POE1 acts are smooth and flow fairly well from zone to zone.POE2 is a fucking trek and having to do the campaign every alt only makes it worth running 1 character per league for anyone that isn't an addict

>>548970630sadly its a boring as shit game at this point and nothing you do in the endgame matters.

>>548970672retard
>>548970740oh is that what that isnvm >>548970560
Focus on the content thats promised. It was aready suppose to be fully released by now. Classes missing, weapons missing, skills missing, endgame didnt even touch.......instead lets focus on a league mechanic. Its an EA game, league mechanics shouldnt be fucking the focal point. Stop over promising.I like poe2. Just upset with how the Devs are handling it. I miss Chris Wilson.
Sorcery ward might be good now but everythnig else in that ascendancy is wack
>>548970469>implying you don't go smith, get 60% Glory generation, Ancestral Cry and proc the volcanoes by just walking around>also you trigger volcano using your Fire Spell On Hit ascendency
Is Atziri going to reflect damage?
People playing Elementalist PBrand without a source of explode are psychopaths I should ignore, right?
>>548967860This is basically how yakiniku restaurants work, you sit down at a table and order drinks while grilling your own meat using a grill set into the table. It's pretty good if you've never tried it
>>548970335>have to go to the locked doors and then go back into the caravan and select a different areaIts just taking the piss.At least act 3 is infinitely better now I know you can just follow the tiled path once you drain the water.Apex of filth and the vaal city are still dogshit though.
Why is it like this. Why can't any of them just make the game fun. It's not supposed to be a fucking job.
I finally got around to watching the Druid gameplay and the Werewolf took 10 seconds to get a rare mob to half HP. Wolfbros, I don't feel so good. Also the werebear is a direct ripoff from D2. Last Epoch's Druid wonnered bigly.
>>548970728Deadeye is also still good lol. Powercreep with the Vaal stuff is going up. And the mob HP buff isn't applying to bosses
>>548969987What annoys me in particular is that I keep apparently becoming collateral of streamers taking things I find fun and doing obscene presumably stat stacking things with them.I don't care that streamerman is one hitting hitting bosses by stat stacking with HOTG or whatever. Banish me to SSF just let me have fun with my skills. If you nerf all the shit that I am having fun with, and then I look over the fence and see the Pro Gamers blowing up the screen just as easily as they were before, what am I meant to take away from this? Makes it feel utterly pointless sometimes. 400 specters and I assume that they're all shit because if they weren't shit then they would have been nerfed because someone would have made a youtube video showing how they combined that and this and this other thing and look I can clear the campaign in 13.2 seconds and now its been nerfed into the ground for anyone NOT running that particular build.I'm just so tired of GGG balancing for trade impact instead of actually just playing the game.
>>548970890Ritual was funMark and Chris and Jon hate fun
>>548970850I hope she does so poe2 players gets frustrated
>>548970850>deal 0 damage>reflect 0 damageAtziri is defeated bigly by Jonathan's visionary design
>>548970817>giga explode is "wack">culling strike is "wack"
I forgot Chayula Monk existed
>>548970728I main Lich.
>>548970342sprint already fixed issues like thisnow its just these abysmally long zones that are just boring. they could split them into 2 zones and just change the generation algorythm and lighting, swap some enemies. would be 10x more enjoyable. like POE has two levels to merviels caverns already take notes mother fuckers. >>548970785I just installed Halls of Torment, its on sale right now.
>>548970850I hope she has a lot of very complicated mechanics. apparently some involving reflection were cut from Diamora the song of death.
>>548970820You wouldn't want to do that given that you want to be wielding a staff or wand to give the spell + levels when you trigger it.Otherwise its a fucking kino idea.
>>548971006Explosions are fun, but culling strike is ass. Don't fool yourself.
>>548971006Yeah, situationally good. Now tell me what effect they have on a boss.
>>548971007He was in 1 so I remember him.
>>548971014my nigger
>any class can use shapeshiftingwhy play druid then all his regular skills look like shit
>>548970817Not reallyCulling strike is interesting and fun to build aroundExplosions are satisfying Sorcery ward makes you feel like power houseConcetration mechanic is at least uniqueWeapon Master is definitely going to be at some point
>>548958573>showcase Vyvern>"... or turn your tornado Into disastrous... ">tornado hits the boss, HP bar of the boss doesn't moveWatching class reveals in this game makes me feel like my balls are getting clenched by Johnathan. Why do they make em all look as fun restricted as possible?
>>548971143because shapeshift nodes are on the str/int side of the passive tree
>>548971165They intentionally have shit damage during teasers and reveals so they can show off the graphics of abilities.You would think this is basic fucking logic, but PooTurd players are so fucking retarded they can only think in terms of Shapers per Second while staring at minimaps.
Can someone tell me if I am understanding Druid lore.His wife days he goes on a bender.Hears about this rich werewolf shagging some 50 year old woman with a "beast".Get jelly.Go murder the count and chase his wife trying to get your dick wet because its the only woman in the world willing to fuck a dogman?
>>548964892got any interesting plants bro?
>>548971165They just make stuff up and hope the players invent something
>>548971273It's just all about effects and bing bing wahoos now huh...
>cant use same runes>lich will gladly run new "more ms, but your life drains" runeI FUCKING HATE HOW MUCH that ascendancy breaks the game
>>548971273kek someone post the awakened alkaizer webm
>reduce 40% mob densitythis fucks my ed contagion so I'll play minion then
>>548971296Vines
>>548971369It's just while sprinting anyway. I don't think it's that good.
>>548971360it always has been, go watch any poe1 skill reveal. they look like completely trash.
>>548970941Mark wasn't wrong in the interview: melee is just hard to balance and will always to some extent "feel hard"anyway my build this league (also SSF) is going to involve slamming fissures with totems and has been buffed in every way imaginable apparently just by coincidence, and I also came up with this synergistic idea while reading the thread >>548970820the build design potential is definitely in the game. trying to stack stuff together in a build I make is always more fun than just looking up streamers who are in many cases RMTing their gear to make sure they stay high in the ladder.
I'm gonna go witchhunter werewolf and quit the league when it inevitably sucks and I lose all motivation after hitting maps, at least the Ascendancy has the coolest splash art
Ritualist is looking pretty insane. Before it just felt like you got the extra ring and effect and the other nodes were too dogshit to even care about.
shapeshift forms should be able to use ranged weaponsdragon with a crossbow
>>548971530What would help in poe2 is to remove the retardedly long total attack time additions and remove the attack speed downsides from the tree, replacing them with attack speed buffs. There's barely any increased attack speed on the lower right, and shit like sunder is already like 40% of your base attack rate. Its just painful.
>>548970941>balancing for trade impact instead of actually just playing the game.I don't think they're balancing around trade because they know players put stuff up for basically random prices, particularly rares. they use graphs and just miss some stuff sometimes because the game is so complicated, which then becomes the latest boring meta build. I say just design a class fantasy around what seems cool and don't worry about your relative rate of progresss.
>WHY AREN'T THE REVEALS A ZOOMED IN EXCEL FORUMLA SO I CAN DETERMINE IF THE SKILL IS WORHY OF GRACING MY WITCH "MavenFutaToes"
These are all level 3 Enlightensshould I sell them as is or gamba them for Level 4
>people larping that their dogshit slow builds can finally compete with builds that have a ms above 130%>when if there's no fucking mobs on the map the most important thing is going to be moving fasterare poo2ers tubtarded?
>>548971119you respec to the concentration nodes to kill bosses and get your atlas completed then go back to culling+explosions for mapping.If somehow bossing strats are way better than blasting juiced maps (press x to doubt) just stay on concentration, it's +40% more damage and 50% cool down increase to boss attacks so they just stand around doing nothing while you kill them especially since it also stacks with temp chains
>>548971731They could keep the obnoxiously long attack times, just front load the damage instead of backloading it. It would genuinely make it all feel 100000 times better.
lich gaming wyvern form i will make it work somehow
>>548971792This but unironically.
>>548971530melee isn't hard to balance, mark is just retarded. make melee tankier, do more damage, and faster and watch all the rats flee from non-melee because melee is now meta. what mark actually means is he just doesn't like meleefags and wants them to suffer.
>>548971832the league is dead my guy who you selling to
This is the first game where I don't play druid. I hate how you have to use both forms and spells. Poop approach towards class themes just doesn't work with gem shit.
Lot of good buffs. Unfortunately, I even played all of those skills when they were worse. Not sure what to play.. Druid is feeling kind of meh
Warrior will be the best shapeshifter, just like how Ranger is the best crossbow user. Druid will be a meme class that only casuals pick. Oracle will be bullied for being completely useless.
>>548971932Sorry anon, but you must ROLL so warriors standing it place to take hits and deal it back is bad>>548971832Gamba it, you could steal some dopamine off at least. What's a clean one going for now? 350c?
>>548971932yeah saying "melee will always feel bad" is kind of retarded when plenty of people like melee in Diablo 2, Diablo 3, Titan Quest, Grim Dawn, etc not to mention all the regular RPGs where being a melee character is fun or even optimal compared to bowfaggotry
>>548971787>I say just design a class fantasy around what seems cool and don't worry about your relative rate of progresss.If it was just an issue of rate of progress I wouldn't be bitching, thats my situation in Poe1 and I'm perfectly happy being the retard still in campaign on week two. But this is stuff like magma barrier getting that massive cooldown that can't be reduced. That's not making it weaker, that's making it just not even work as main skill.
>>548971731I mean sure or you could just play a monk. mace skills are slow because everything is meant to be ancestrally boosted AND aftershock AND hit an armour broken target AND ignite for fire damage that explodes and hits every other monster. it's going to be better now because all the monsters at tier 15 will have +40% hp.
>>548969378Mercenaries was a good league (anyone who says otherwise is a retard)
What's a good boss killer I can make for 100d?
>>548971575not this retard again
GUYSGUYSWARRIOR + BEAR FORMNO MORE MACE COPINGSLAMMAXXING TITAN BEAR
>>548970961it doesnt help that the playerbase all wants different things too though
Melee void knight was literally the meta build for last epoch during the patch they added Uber aberroth, you can make melee viable just don't be a fucking cunt to melee skills for no reason Cyclone was the most played skill in Legion even in poe1
>>548972252Wish we got phrecia Mercs instead of keepers
>>548972329>SLAMMAXXING TITAN BEARWill you even be able to use slams with talismans? They're all hammer only aren't they?
>>548972018maybe it'll be like with spears in that a skill slips through that does enough damage without having to used it in a clunky combo. just have faith...
>>548972208>that's making it just not even work as main skill.yeah we're all meant to be playing the piano, especially shield skills are to support a regular attack combo. poe players are in general resisting it for one-button builds if at all possible, but warrior happened to start out with a kit that requires it more than other classes.
>>548972295he's right, you dumbfuck
>>548972449Bear is all about slams
Just want to say i invented the new incursion league aka fate of the vaal by writing a post in this thread that combined synthesis with guild of dungeoneering, which is the exact new mechanic. Give me my pay check Johnathan
>>548970469>>548970820Bros...will manifest weapon for a talisman spawn in a bear minion?
>>548972449retard
>>548972449The bear attack counts as a slam and is ancestrally boosted and triggers aftershocks which trigger volcano projectiles, if you go Titan you can trigger fissures and ancestral boost for free allowing you to spam one button

Just catching up. They copied D4 druid. Kek.
Jonathan Rogers should step down. He is not capable to run GGG. Who is currently responsible for PoE2? As we're been told Jonathan runs PoE2, but where is someone who takes decisions about PoE2?Lie after lie after fail after fail. Step down.
>>548972786No, anon is being really disingenuous.
>>548969437my only cope is that we will get a phrecia rerun
>>548972547it won't disappear when you weaponswap to a Talisman to change to use Bear skills. making Fissures then slamming them with bear skills is another obvious combo. will it be really good? who cares??
monk. dragon.
>>548972719maybe I had a stroke during the livestream reveal but bear slams need to be empowered by spells like that cremation skill (and vice versa) to be worth a damn

>>548972449slams are NOT mace onlythere is a monk slam and huntress thunderous leapthe game changing so much so frequently and there being stupidly broken stuff for the last several patches has been hiding a lot of the potential of the game from people.
what builds are you guys will be using
>>548972890You don't get it.Manifest weapon makes a minion clone of your weapon to attack with. But a talisman's attack is literally the shapeshift attacks like bear/wolf swipe. So how will a manifest weapon talisman attack? spawning in a bear minion?

>>548973146i mean these days nothing is safe. they love to throw out a nerf patch days before launch
>the new shapeshifting weapon type is 2hBlock is DEAD
lmao, why the fuck is this showing up in the results
Why do you guys complain about everything?
do they usually show off the challenge rewards during the content reveal or are there not going to be challenge rewards this league.............................
>>548973347ok but you're always going to have 1 enemy near you during combat so how is this really a nerf?
>>548973251Probably about the same, the damage was really good in 0.3 so I had to recast it a lot anyway. If anything it might feel better since mobs will last longer so there's more time for them to group up.
>>548973459no rewards till 1.0 (in 5 years). prease understando
im gonna say itshapeshifting skills will never be good and feel good to play
>>548973110it'll probably just wave around and do the damage and effects of the bear attack. coding doesn't give a fuck about your fantasy realism.
people are gonna play the update and then realize druid forms are dogshit and retention is gonna plummet off a cliff
>>548973501Not necessarily if you're ranged
>>548973501>surrounded when zero enemies are within 3 metersalways active even when you're blasting way offscreen>surrounded when one enemy is within 3 meterslmao, what are you, a meleecuck?it's a massive nerf, only ethical melee users can use it now. monks and screenwide slam warriors won't even be within 3 meters of enemies lol
>>548972505>yeah we're all meant to be playing the piano, especially shield skills are to support a regular attack comboIs that why every man and his dog is running giant' blood despite GGG cranking the strength penalty into the stratosphere?Scepter + resonating shield was cool for a while, but I guess that's the kind of thing the explicitly wanted me NOT able to do.
>>548973614Good thing you can just play caster Druid.
Why is everything shit? Why can't they make the game fun? Where are the fucking updates they promised 4 months ago???
>>548973347it's not that big of a nerf considering monster hp got buffed
>>548973251everyone is focusing on the -40% density, no one is thinking about the +40% monster hp raising all ailment thresholds and delaying on-kill effects.
>>548972329wtf bro why did you give away my super secret build like that
bear good for bossing and map clearing if rampage has good duration
>>548973109Deadeye :)
>>548973741very bold of you to assume poo two players can think
>>548973709
>>548973454Holy fuck that's hilarious.
>>5489735013 meters is actually very small. If you're on the edge of most boss arenas where the boss chills near the middle, you will be 6+ meters away.
>>548973741Yeah, I think they also said there's more density in the Atlas tree, or at least they plan to add more stuff in that vein, and they want it to be less of a binary of pack size = good and more a trade-off between mob strength and pack size which you can adjust according to your build's strengths. I liked the sound of that.
>>548973614dogshit compared to what? 0.3 LA deadeye? that's a good thing.
>>548971091>>548971119you can get a lot of extra culling % from passives and the helm. think I had almost 20% culling against uniques when I last tried.

>>548970645Poo1 is shit but when I miss when support gems just had exp to level up instead of...whatever the fuck this is.
Bros, is Jonathan retarded?

I don't really like the game within a game mechanics. Abyss was alright because its just a bunch of niggas comnig out the ground and you kill 'em. This temple thing looks like some kinda bullshit ya feel me
>>548974138he just hates path of exile players
>>548973109I will pick druid and choose the skills that do the most damage as they are unlocked to me
>>548974261who doesnt?
>>548973992I don't think so, slurper.
>>548970890>reddit filename>broken englishyep, pooskin post
>>548974261based, hes just like me
>>548973682everyone is playing Giant's Blood because they are SC tradeys and it is extremely easy to get items with exactly the stats you need and using a 2Her gives highter dps in PoB. the design intent of the game is resembles how most shitters play it because they just want to do something as simple as possible. that's probably always going to be the case even though poe2 is much more balance-able than poe1.
bearform on a rhoa throwing spears
I like the skill changes, but these fucks did not even change the instant minion respawn on weapon swap this leagueSo you can still abuse it and burn everything with infernal legion, holy slop
yes! I have a progensis!I think I'm gonna get "that did not happen!" too, surely I will finally be able to be a retard in peace.
Uhhhhhhhh chronomancer.... bear....
>>548974015This, it's the only thing that matters to me. 40% less density is going to be a retention killer.
I macro'd my hands and feet to play the bongos on all of Atziri's 4 titties at once
They should have just made shapeshifting be like specters.Use a skill gem to capture a form and then press the button to shapeshift into it and get that critter's skills, which of course could be supported.Then I can shapeshift into a skeleton.

>>548974446>it's the player's fault GGG has failed to balance weapons properlyThese type of posts are straight-up deranged
>>548973891I think that part was Mark talking about his future hopes for the main atlas tree. it'll probably mean nodes with downsides, though, like: more packsize in exchange for less monster effectiveness (i.e. hp and quantity). exactly the kind of thing that the playerbase will screech about even if it actually WOULD be better for an (e.g.) ED contagion build.
>>548974365>make 1 mistake>retards cry when the devs own up to their mistake from false positive and right their wrong>still ban macro users i see no issues
>werewolf has a limited duration lol
>>548974853Yeah, I generally like that design philosophy since I enjoy weighing the pros and cons of a decision.
>>548974806if the classes are meaningfully different that means that some won't be to everyone's taste. it's inevitable. nonetheless GGG does seem to want to pay attention to what is objectively less good and buff it and this is a huge warrior buff patch.
>10% increased map quant on Sundays in March>You are blinded irl
instead of having ULTRASWORDS in the game we get a gay retarded furry scaly warrior but slower.I literally can't with these niGGGers. I give up tubbathan, you win.
>>548974951No it isn't, but feel free to prove me wrong.
>>548975012I hope someone is training a large language model on these threads.
I swear, half of the posters in this thread are fucking retarded
I play swords with my dragon
>>548975235stop harassing tim walz
potential witch hunter build cooked up here. by lvl 91 you get 50% block rating, +500% increased damage, +416% increased armor with Iron Reflexes convering evasion to armor and defending with +200% against critical hits, and 52% block chance. this is the stats totally naked, with a Spire of Ire and Chernobog's Pillar equipped just as example uniques. Even using PoB's extremely mediocre example rares and no sockets you can get up to 33k armour, with Obsessive Rituals' 35% Less penalty that's still 22k armour, of that 30% is converted directly to blue life which is +6.6 life on top of having 2000 regular health. And remember armour and armor against ele still applies to hits damaging your ward which means it's actually more durable than just having 10k energy shield while recharging to full instantly.Will having 30k blue life still probably be way better? Yeah. But at least you can play bottom side of the tree and not be utterly miserable running around with like 3k life getting one shot by ground degens bypassing armour and evasion
>DYI HeistBrilliant.
>Shapeshifting is just Cleave gameplay in disguisebwos....
>>548975509>spearPUKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
when you think about it, aren't claws effectively just tiny swords?
>>548975704claws aren't in the game either
>>548975556>cleave>rolling magma>spark but no bouncing>the laughably stupid chimera flying breath attackdragonbros.......?
>>548975509>30% is converted directly to blue life it starts at 15% and doesnt become 30% because that text was removed from CA
>>548975794You forgot OIL
I can't believe they're putting a fucking dragon in the game. Just awful.
easiest prediction in the world is that Druid will be meta
>>548975827>it starts at 15% and doesnt become 30% because that text was removed from CAno, anon, default sorcery ward is 30%. The current node increases it by 50% to 45%. I already accounted for losing the current text of Ceremonial Ablutions.
>the random first person perspective swaps during the dragon promoi burst out laughing each time, why the fuck did they do it? WHY A FUCKING DRAGON? JESUS
>>548975509>one shot by ground degens
>>548975827Well that is weaker, but I'd argue it's still very good.
SAVE US CHRISSSSSS
>>548976051Somehow it looked really cheap which GGG has avoided till this point
>druid hidden path has minion buffs>spirit cost reductionsoh fuck off
It's simple, I outdegen the ground degen
>>548976026Nevermind its fucking great
>>548976068somebody skipped abyss league huhanything that's non-hit damage one shots dumbasses playing armour or evasion because non-hit damage isn't reduced one percent. this includes degens but also any enemy with bleed or poison. have fun with enemies critting you, taking no damage from the actual hit, but the pre-mitigation calced bleed killing you instantly too
>>548975794>>548975945>>548976051>the laughably stupid chimera flying breath attack>WHY A FUCKING DRAGON? JESUS>I can't believe they're putting a fucking dragon in the game. Just awful.
i've become such a doomer that the only thing i'm looking forward to now is BFR's magnum opus. to everyone saying it's going to be ruthless 2.0, be reminded that chris was the one who said diabloclones are supposed to be casual games you play while watching netflix on a second screen, so there's at least a 1% chance it won't be woodfulicious
uhm actually they're wyverns
>>548976332retard
>>548960531ye how about a map just being a long corridor where you have to save puzzles and after every puzzle you solve you get a 50% chance of spawing a normal mob that starts with 99% damage reduction that slowly decreases over the next hour....that will also improve performance and really makes you appreciate the great combat and animations
>Ratha's Assault now Grants Supported Skills Load 5 Bolts When You Dodge (Previously 3) And Supported Skills Load 4 Additional Bolts (previously 3).

>>548976452shut the fuck up bro just let me believe, i'll be dead and buried and rotten before it ever comes out anyways
we've been too spoiled by ggg
>>548976539arjun's medal on galvanic shards is gonna be sex
>>548976580gamers are so entitled
>>548976273I still don't understand how people get anywhere playing Armour in HCSSF.
>>548976539I love playing SSF, I can just ignore all the patchnotes about uniques and only read what drops.
cringe
Poe1 died for this.
>>548976685by mostly ignoring armour and relying on strength-stacking and block chance to carry you as defensive layers. the people at the top of the ladder in 0.3 usually had like 10k armour or less
>>548976181>noooo more than one ascendancy is minion and meta-tag viable!
>>548976821GOOD
0.4 is going to flop biggestlyabyss was great because its just monsters in your map, it makes every map better and it scales with map effect. just kill some monsters and grab the lootnobody wants to do out of map sloppa every few mapssee: literally every poe league ever
poe1 players funded the death of their own game
>>548975235Thankfully, I'm part of the 50%
is speccing into farrul's blood line for wild will a bad idea if I don't already have a minion build?I could fit raise specter into my build fine, but are they going to have like zero uptime if I don't have a bunch of minion life and defense bonuses?
>>548976821its going to be the best gameplay we've had in poe2 yet. idk if the endgame monster hp changes will be enough but they're clearly going the right direction.
>>548976919Anon, they understand the issue with crafting map boosters all the time. That's why they made it so you can get rare tablets and vaal them.
>>548976982their survivability is good if you can fit 3 supports (minion life + meat shield + elemental army) and convocation automation
FUCK WYVERNSTHIS IS DRAGON COUNTRY
>8d inscribed >dupedfeeling good
>>548976982no the extra mods and maximum life make it so they hardly ever die and spectres just respawn now so it doesnt really matter
Cracks open a bear
>poo2 armor is garbage because the formula has enormous diminishing returns, doesn't work on anything calculated pre-mitigation, doesn't work on anything that's not a Hit, and requires gear affixes to apply to anything other than physical>adamantly refuse to add life to the tree to help this, instead insisting that blue life is the only option allowed with armour and evasion needing to work differently>add in a way to directly convert armour to blue-ish life that works on everything blue life does right after thiswhat did they mean by this
>>548977327one could almost believe that they're just fucking retarded
Why did they nerf hollow palm at end game? It was already dogshit versus using a staff since +skills on weapon is so ridiculously strong. Overall the Monk nerfs are pretty sad, at least the palm qol looks like it'll be nice and the bell hitbox improvements might be nice too
Lightning Arrow Bear
>>548977327I don't really understand what they're thinking either, I figure they would have nerfed ES into the ground and given Armour better ways to compensate by now.
>>548977327Let Zaccie fix it his own way, entitled chud.
>>548977327>meanwhile they make it easy to get like 20-25k red-bluelife in poe1 with keepers of the flame
>>548976685retard
so you just can't make a minion hybrid unless it's golem shit and that's really just for buffs not hybrid. DUMB
>>548977327armor was good in 0.3 alreadyWitchhunter node is just busted
>>548977661as long as degens, poison, and bleed exist it will always suck cock compared to energy shield
Sorcery Ward will get nerfed before the patch
i think i will go with cold werewolf, hvent played in a last 2 leagues but how is cold compared to other elements? i thinks cold plus temporal chains will be a nice cc combo if i will go with high enough inteligence
>>548977092Well maybe I can't fit it in "fine", what I meant was throwing it in an unset ring. No way I'm putting supports with it.>>548977137they only respawn on zone change don't they? I guess as long as they don't die it's fine, but if they're getting clobbered from shit in uber maven or something then I don't want to bother.
>>548977741Loose lips sink builds
>>548977758Tbh it looks identical to D4 werewolf
GGG looked at pic related and decided to toss witch hunter a bone finally after three patches of being dead lasteven +100 weapon swap couldnt save them
>>548977721Can get immunity to bleed, poison, and ignites in that part of the tree. Other types of degens still fuck though.
The new map device is the only thing really great between the two new supporter packs.The titty shield is okay.
These supporter packs suck outside of the new hideout. Where are the annual packs, too? Does GGG not want money?
Why not play Einhar's Beastrite?Seems OP if it lasts for 5 minutes
>>548977647dominating blow and absolution are for hybrid.
>>548977957the current core packs are actually called poe2 early access packs so i guess they're just leaving them until the game is out of ea
Fuck combos jonathan I'm finding the one OP druid skill you tards didn't test and spamming it
Developing two games is too much for GGG.I absolutely love GGG and appreciate that they are deeply concerned about our experience. They are so worried about keeping everyone happy, and I believe it is hurting the development of both games. The last POE1 league was underwhelming, and this POE2 league is essentially the druid, which was delayed from the previous league. In an effort to keep both camps happy, we are getting drip-fed content that won't satisfy either side.I don't know what the solution is at this point, as knowing how much GGG cares, they do not want to isolate either group. However, at this pace, I do not see POE2 being completed for a couple of years. There are too many unfinished classes, ascendancies, and other content. I am underwhelmed by today's reveal.
not a single MTX that fits Druid AT ALLGGG is unironically retarded
>>548978221REDDITRVKE
>still no biome searchREEEEEEEEE
>>548978224Bro your Celestial Scrimblo? Your Stygian Bimblo?
So overall it seems like everything got buffed, what I imagine is that "effectiveness" will be overtuned and getting to higher tier maps will be harder.
Ritualist gets 15% more damage on their blood boil, its not worthless on bosses who don't spawn adds now. That's fucking cool.
>>548977908Witch hunter wasn't even bad before.
Will this hexblast buff not be enough to make it playable?
>>548978539No, it's not a lightning skill
ALL FROG NIGGER POSTERS SHOULD HANG
>>548961109this.
>>548978521witch hunter was already pretty damn good but poop2 players are absolutely retarded and no streamers were shilling it
>>548978224I can't believe how little mtx is being added, too. This is going to take years to port everything over. They added support for a whopping seven armor sets and a bunch of rare finishers no one cares about. Really?
>>548978521>no damage>raped by phys>raped by chaos>now still no damage, but you're only raped by phys or chaos after your shield (now 50% less effective) wears off but tell me more about how BASED and EPIC your 100 weapon swap skill points (that no one uses LOL) is, nigger. I bet it SHREDS t1 maps.
>>548978649it's only a matter of time before they walk back their promise to port everything over
just release the new talent tree so i can craft potent builds
>>548978539It was already playable. It's free DPS if you're Cursing anyway, and there's plenty of reasons to cast a Curse. It's more impactful to use while mobbing now which is nice.
>>548972857Phrecia keepers is going to suck though
>>548978709poop2 players are not beating the retarded allegations...
>>548962243/thread. when pootub fails he will be desperately fellating some other pile of shit the exact same way>>548962645total jeet death. it's a bar of soap
what's the story on axes? we getting them with this update?I want to make a techno ice viking who is NOT a furfag, just probably a regular fag
>>548978802>NO BRO PLEASE ITS GOOD BRO JUST USE SCAVENGED PLATING AND WIND DANCER PLEASE BRO ITS SO GOOD PLEASE BRO JUST USE THE 5% CULL BRO PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE YOU DO SO MUCH DAMAGE BRO JUST DEAL 30% OF A BOSS' HEALTH SO YOU MAKE THEM USE AN ABILITY EVERY 8 SECONDS INSTEAD OF 5 PLEASE BRO PLEAAAAAAAAAAASE
>>548978853man you're going to be lucky if you get axes next fuckin' year. this patch gives you ~talismans~
>>548978853they're being added in 2029
uhm... poe 2 xisters, i thought this patch was going to blow path of exile 1 out of the water???? hello???? where did the smug attitude go????
>>548978919definitely not beating the retarded allegations
>>548978785>It was already playableHas the TalkativeTri discord finally managed to get a manifesto made? It should be illegal to post this sort of misinformation.
we got mothertfuckin DRAGONS bitch
maybe staves wont be completely worthless nowbetween this and elemental weakness curse you can shred some serious resists
So uh, how broken will the new Pathfinder be? Seems like there will be some cool things to do with her but I have no clue as I am a buildlet.
>>548978993Brother. 3.28 will come out after they get back from Xmas and try to unfuck this patch. .4 doesn't have to be better then 3.27, it has to be better then 3.28
I spend 80% of my "play time" in these fucking games theory crafting and thinking about what I want to do next instead of actually playingand then another 10% is sorting through garbage in my stash
>>548979157can't lower resists below zero so who cares
>>548979083If you want to use it as a main skill you can do that too by reducing your duration as much as possible. You only have enough points to reasonably manage it in endgame but it does alright at that point too.
I rewatched the content reveal from a normie streamer (22k people watching) and everyone was pogging out. The streamer literally said and I quote "Why would anyone play something other than Druid? This class is like ten classes in one. This class is the entire Diablo roster in one character"
>>548979216retard
Is there a way to copy my stash setup over for the new season?
>>548978785or I could I could continue holding down the mouse button with my lightning skill of choice that vaporizes everything (including bosses) and not have to deal with curses and other stupid dogshit
>>548979216stop being retardedyou cannot PENETRATE below 0%, you can ABSOLUTELY reduce resistances below 0. poo2 literally added icons next to every enemy's health bar showing their armor and resists change in real-time how are there fucking morons who dont understand how this game works after almost 2 years?
>>548979357Sure, but there's better builds than that anyway, so if that's your point you should probably use one of those as an example instead.
Really enjoyed rake titan this league and its gonna be my league starter this time
>>548979450name those builds you can't
Animal forms are bait, its still just melee and melee sucks
>arc chains across packs automatically in one click>lightning storm druid hits slow in a small area and needs setup with some storm shitWhy can't they just design shit to be good?
>>548979720is the joke that arc was unplayable before 0.3
I sincerely don't get the combo haters. Combos only suck because there is no reason to do them but if they actually have a decent payoff, it feels satisfying. Why would anyone WANT to press just one button?>you dont play arpgs for the gameplay, you play for the buildsI don't see why you can't have both
>>548979695TRVTHIts just melee wrapped in a different package
>>548979695this but even worse because animal forms have mandatory clunk in the form of shapeshifting animations and the clunky obligation of having to weave in spells
>>548979794>>548979794>>548979794>>548979794>>548979794
>>548979810They fundamentally want a different style of gameplay than you, there's no reconciliation possible as long as the devs try to encourage using combos.
>>548979810there's nothing interesting or compelling about pressing 1 2 3 over and over, it just means you're doing no damage most of the time which feels bad to most people
>>548979695Wolf looks like it plays like Ice Strike which feels great, infact most of the druid melee skills seem to have inherit movement so they don't feel dogshit
Made a fresh charQuarterstaff gamingWho the fuck decided that if you do have power charges, you delete half of boss hp in one hit, but if you dont (and you have no way of generating them outside of culling adds) you just eat shit?At least tempest bell still deals damage.Also, do act bosses get buffed bt 40% health aswell? Because if yes then might aswell pack it up
