>ranged feels pretty strong but i've played lightning arrow and lightning spear when they were op
>i hate hOOntress voice
>love witch voice
>i don't mind a weaker start if it has a high ceiling so i can play the same build for weeks

so like, probably a lich, es, either spellcaster or minion. maybe just skeleton army or like, spark or something. lightning will probably still be broken

How much ward do you think you'll be able to stack? Serious question
We discussed this yesterday but picrel is the primary method of converting ward to damage. It's a percentage of a percent and requires maximum tree investment to barely get any flat damage. Unless this alt ascendency somehow provides like +5000% ward or has an alternative mode of conversion that adds 200% of ward into flat then it's never going to happen

Does ward just straight up prevent getting one-shot?
>>
>>567623050
It's not, we can look at the numbers right now. Based on the amount of defenses you can stack in poe2 currently, you could make an estimate at the very high-end fully min-maxed (also copium) to hit 20k ward. Even that level is unrealistic but we'll use it for illustrative purposes. That means the flat damage you're getting from that, which includes a tree optimized for as much defensive stacking as possible, is 4k flat, except now you have 1 single defensive layer that acts the same as health, isn't affected by leech, and has a regeneration cooldown where you can't use your damage skills once it's depleted.

More realistic would be 5k ward, giving you ~300 flat (runic infusion + ward skill base cost) which is effectively nothing.
The scaling just isn't there and the only way for it to be viable is for GGG to implement Blizzard-tier scaling which you know they will not do.

Ward exists because it gives GGG an additional "defensive" layer that acts like health and can be scaled on the tree, unlike health

Assuming every singular piece of gear can give you like 200 ward (this is pretty generous), scaling up to 100% via 20 travel nodes gives you about 2000 ward. Which is about the same (and almost the same mechanic) as Darkness, just applied after ES and life. Not bad, given it's effectively 2000 extra HP. I still don't think it's very good though

>>567623504
>More realistic would be 5k ward, giving you ~300 flat (runic infusion + ward skill base cost) which is effectively nothing.
I think it depends on where it sits in the damage formula. For reference, the sort-highest physical damage on a weapon currently listed for trade in Fate of the Vaal is a Massive Greathammer with 79+146% increased physical damage and adds 52-85 physical damage, landing at 803-1154. So ~300 applied at the "bottom" of all modifiers past that is ~37% increased minimum damage and ~26% increased maximum damage.

Over in the one-handed only spears, the sort-highest physical damage currently listed for FotV trade is 362-675. +300 in THAT case is ~83% increased minimum and ~44% increased maximum damage, giving you MUCH fatter Rakes. Terribly optimistic, of course, it's probably going to miss some important modifiers.

>>567629804
I heard the Leach nerf was the opposite direction of making them no longer stack, so I think truly instant Leech is better off.

what do you want to see in poop2?
>>
>>567633104
Their statement was that they wanted leeches to no longer stack and instead focus on the singular highest leech your character is working with at the time, so instant leech might stay stackable since it functions more like instant healing than a stacking leech
>>
>>567631059
The data shows that the pooptard's platonically ideal maps are Flat Plane and Featureless Hallway.

The amount of games installed, played for 20 minutes, and then uninstalled this year is staggering. Everything is so low quality and soulless lately.

>>567632504
the game is designed to complete maps as fast as possible because loot comes from piling up bonuses on league content. Plus they are incentivizing exploring the atlas with special maps with good rewards so unless they change the entire game exploring singular maps slowly will always be supbar
>>
>>567632481
the zealots from interludes use spark so the coverage is very good. Lich adds a lot of damage to your minions and gives you good survivability.

Yes, leech will be one instance. Insta leech sort of bypasses that through ignoring recovery rate, so they've said they are removing it from the game.
Atziri's acuity gloves were used by 50% of blood mages last league, the rest used the belt, but that won't work either, since 1 instance on some shitty spark will get you no recovery

Quite a bit less of your overall Leech will be instant as a Blood Mage thanks to the base crit replacement, and that's one of... 35 prefixes? And it's only obtained when you can get a Rogue Exile and Abyss to collide.

qna 1:36:43
Now technically he said "we're removing some instant leech", but i just assume he's being evasive here. There are only 2 sources of insta leech in the game, and what is "some" then? Gloves are the most likely target, because barely anyone uses vaal pact, and leaving it intact would conflict with the original intent of making leech heavily gated
>Aren't the sparks Cast On Crit/Elemental Ailment sticks for Comet-spam anyways?
Mostly, some used the breach ammy, but leech from spark is still a factor when it's unlimited stacks, especially if it's insta on crit on 100% crit spell. Not so much when it's just one and your single cast cost is 1/4 of your life.

how does this work with animal forms? like does movement speed affect bear and wolf form?
>>
>>567645896
>whats the point in even having the tree if you get enough points to take every node?
the order you take them matters because there is no expectation that players will finish it before reaching a natural end point and quitting until next league.
i.e. it's really bait to try to keep people playing instead of being a fake choice like the poe1 atlas tree (because you're always going to spec into the content you're running anyway).
>>
>defenses are mostly useless

>one shots will one shot you anyways
okay, how am I supposed to play slow and meaningful if the only thing I can stack meaningfully is damage to delete every threat before it can react?
>>
>>567647983
It's not done with animal forms (to my knowledge), I think people only use whirling slash and boneshatter for that purpose, probably works with any attack that moves you forward a bit.
So you need a secondary weapon cuz I don't think any of the animal form attacks are favorable.

>like does movement speed affect bear and wolf form?
it's based off attack speed.

theres a lot of choice in the poe1 atlas tree, especially if you are doing something that doesnt need all the explicit + quant nodes + another 50 points for a league mechanic and eldritch altars. ask people what trees they use for farming beasts, boxes or betrayal and you will get a lot of different answers
even mechanic + quant trees still have the option to use quant shrines if you use gull + blunderbore this league

I just want them to change Tornado so you dont have to do the elemental ground shit.

just saying filling the tree in doesn't mean zero choice.

if anything it could have the advantage of the "run every map once" system atlas completion system that gets zizaran hard, where the game pats you on the head for doing all the things on the checklist it gave you.

Leech is now single source, only 1 instance of buff active, biggest only.
Higher hits = more leech
Cap to amount of damage that can leech.
More leech early game.
No more leech resist on monsters.
Up to 40% of total life per second (goal).
Investing in leech to give more return that to invest in damage (recovery wise)

"Why does PoE2 exist?"
>>
>>567650814
>>567650909
>>567650983
one side effect of gear being so powerful in poe2 is that every class just using the current broken skill is something we're going to have to get used to. the passive tree doesn't provide guardrails in the same way as poe1.
>>
>>567651082
>and there's no hope for it
wow what a reasonable measured statement, clearly ben was being an objective observer when he said that.
>>
>>567651124
Is he known as a variety streamer? The game is his lifeline, while the choice of game is technically up to him, it's really a choice between maintaining his income and completely demolishing it.
>>
>>567651136
now that's a question worth asking since the whole point was for poe2 to be a completely different than poe1 but it seems jonatroon is on a gaslighting tour telling everyone how
>ACTUALLY I ALWAYS WANTED POE2 TO BE LIKE POE1
if that was the case why bother making a whole ass different game?
>>
remember when poo1's endgame was fighting normal atziri rofl
>>
>>567651168
This problem also stems from skills being the way they are.
Skills have inbuilt comboslop mechanics/restrictions built into them, so there are only a few broadly viable skills per weapon type. There aren't anywhere enough of flavours "do damage in X shape", so people just pick whatever is playable (not too conditional or with conditions that are easy to meet) and has the best numbers.
If we had more diversity of skills that were generic and could be used without comboslop and cooldowns, people would play worse skills that are cool to them.

There's no need for that. If they gave us Lightning Arrow, Red Lightning Arrow and Purple Lighning Arrow, you'd see all 3 used.

>as long as combo players still get enough damage for that style to be worth using then that's fine.
I'm not arguing that, I just think the game needs:
1) more non-combo skills
2) move some of the combo stuff out of skill gems and into support gems instead

Don't get cute with me. POE1 has that kind of diversity and as a result you can find that a huge percentage of skills have hundreds of players if not thousands.
POE2 has like 30 skills total, barely enough to fill 1 vendor tab of POE1. And a good part of them are completely dead (armour breaker lol).

this would definitely happen, but GGG don't want to waste time behaving like Blizzard. combos give them more design space and potential to create playstyles that feel different.

>>567653332
I think the selection of skills is currently WOEFUL and even using very cheap techniques like reskinning existing skills and changing 1 lines about them would be welcome as far as I'm concerned. I'm not asking for a suite of new animations, I would just like more things to build around.
Give me existing spells and attacks in different shapes.
>>
>>567653139
you get that if every skill is "projectile that does damage", it doesn't necessarily matter very much if the underlying math that creates the total damage # is different right?

30 skills that are all meaningfully differentiated is 30 skills. 200 skills that are not meaningfully differentiated can be reduced to fewer than 30 different gameplay styles (and in most games usually are).

the issue is that 30 different styles won't necessarily all be appealing to the entire playerbase because a lot of people only want to play in 1-2 ways.
>>
>>567653905
>30 skills that are all meaningfully differentiated is 30 skills

>>
>>567653830
>more things to build around.
idk bro I think maybe you want similar stuff that uses different damage types or is different in some other mostly-cosmetic way.
last patch we had druid which had at least 4 completely different playstyles which were all endgame viable and could theoretically be merged or hybridized.

The math can change dramatically with just 1 line changed on the skill (e.g. the damage type it is or isn't converted into).

>30 skills that are all meaningfully differentiated is 30 skills
No, it's like ~10 skills when you weed out the trash, the unnecessary auxiliary skills like cull the weak, and stuff you don't like personally.

>200 skills that are not meaningfully differentiated can be reduced to fewer than 30 different gameplay styles
This is a false dichotomy.

>>567654148
I want more of everything, more of the same, and more of completely different things.
I understand things take devhours to make, so I think a bit of recycling would lead to a positive effect with minimal effort.

>last patch we had druid which had at least 4 completely different playstyles which were all endgame viable and could theoretically be merged or hybridized.
I'm pretty happy with the druid. My point stands. I'd still like more skills for all classes, including druid. The spell druid archetype is really modest for example.

>>567654306
You're pressing extra buttons for no reason because you can't use proper support combinations. You are as retarded as I expected.
