Anime OPs = high effortPoo1 OPs = garbage trash
Post 0.5 build guides
niGGGer OP
I don't know what to leaguestart
>>567954518im waiting on p4wny, ronarry to tell me
wheres the other part of the patch notes -.-
>>567954518same shit as the last four leagues, they didn't change shit
>>567954518sandbina
/gig/ did not give you permission to use our pictures!
>>567954582I look like this
>>567954518
comparison is the thief of joy
Remember these wise words, /poeg/
Finally. There hasn't been a thread for like 20 hours.
>>567954756>>567954762
>>567954762did you just discover this phrase a month ago?
>>567954518I'm playing Blizzard Sorc
>>567954596And what "shit" is that?
translator's note: comparison means jonathan
>>567954698she's ours now
Spend 15 years making your sequel and there's not a single good build to play
>>567955005
>Melee? You're playing melee despite all the nerfs? Tell me your build plans senpai
>>567955005T R V K E
>>567954264Saar I can see her cameltoe this is POO general not whore general.
>low apm>very tanky>actually goodWhat build am I looking for? If it even exists
Furina feet point inwards?
https://x.com/Fubgun/status/2058112403943137440The King has spoken. We're all playing Ice Shot.
>>567955210Smith of kitava bear
>>567955114Gain double combo, gain combo from all attacks. Bell gives 2 combo when placing. Bell hits another bell when placing which triggers a shockwave and gives 2 combo. Bell costs 4 combo. Bell -> Bell -> Bell -> Bell.
>Expedition Explosives now wait to explode until most of the monsters unearthed by the previous Explosive have been killed.Absolutely awful change lmao
>>567955436Can't you get the nuke in poo2?
>>567955210>>very tankyThis alone invalidates the majority of builds since everything is made of plastic.You'd have to go with a Disciple of Varashta, Bloodmage, Smith of Kitava, Warbringer, or Shaman.As far as low APM is concerned, you'd have to go with something inherently combo-agnostic/automatable or CoC.So probably just a CoC Comet Bloodmage setup.
>>567955114I'm just gonna start with walking simulator fire bear.
>Monster density in the second half of the campaign has been reduced, especially in the Interludes to allow getting through these areas more quickly.Literally no one was struggling to get through interludes due to the monster density. If anything suddenly hitting map-like monster density was the best part of interludes.
>>567955494There's an apocalypse autobomber shaman too right?
>>567948652i dislike the azmeri spirits aesthetic. it's so fucking generic and the stag color is pink...i'm not a pink man
>he is a jingakh
>>567955436That's just onboarding for shitters to be able to participate in the league mechanic. You'll fix it with the first atlas tree point.
>>567955005both halves of the bible are important doe
>>567955525You underestimate how bad the average PoE 2 player is.
>>567955530Yeah, but also "actually good" is a requirement and ApocaShammy is preem dookie.
so i will be going ghost bells, fist of stone, runes inside body and either (bell on back or +1 combo/-.2 es recharge per combo spent)any other combination is wrong
>>567955210you have to dodge in this gamesorry
>>567955642I mean being able to autobomb T16s and also afk tank uber arbiter/simulacrum seems goodhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSMxaWXO3ms
>>567955210heartbound loop iron ward
>>567955747Is this meaningful combat?
>poeg transvestigation unit
so everyone who rolls martial artist is going to play stonefist hollow form hollow focus and way of the mountainvery cool, thank you ggg for the build, I didn't wanna think about my character anyway
>>567955648The combo nodes if they work with herald explosions is just insaneWill have perma recharge basically
>>567955887There is a disclaimer in the cons section
>>567955942ggg is gonna nerf it
>>567955747Delete this, you're making our game look bad.
Why does GGG like nerfing melee?
>>567955747Obnoxious music hole
>>567955648Runes, gloves, then 3rd and forth will depend on how i feel. I wanna punch fast.
>>567955942way of the mountain is ass but i concur, most people will probably play it
>>567955648Nah ghost bells are shit (237% every 2s). I'm going to get Fists, Meridians, and both Combo nodes since all attack generate combo means bells generate combo, and doing nothing but pressing bell is like 1123% every 0.5s or 4492% every 2s who needs ghost bells.Also with Overabundance III in theory you can get that up to 1545%/6180% which also lets you abuse Warding Fetish.
Where my /totem/ bros at?
>>567956136sometimes game designers have proclivities and it's tough to escape them on your own. you need someone else to tell you you are being retarded, but often at work power structures and schedules can make this less powerful. personally, i always want to make complicated status effects for everything and give all the bosses annoying defensive mechanics. it ain't easy to fight yourself
>NOOOOOOOO YOU CAN'T NERF BUILDS NOT ALLOWED NOT ALLOWED I WANT POWER CREEP I MUST BE ONESHOTTING MILLER @ LEVEL 1
"less powerful" holy fuck i need a coffee
What are some fun builds (PoE2) that would be good with a decent investment, but theoretically get absolutely crazy in mirrors territory?
>>567956469>What the fuck is Overabundance 3? It's not on the wi->Been in the game files and never enabled>Doubles limit (6 bells), but applies a random Curse on you every time you use that skill, ignoring curse limitNeat.
>>567955648I want to go Hollow Form, Meridians, Stonefist, Mountain, but I'm not sure how to best abuse Hollow FormCull the Weak is infinite charges while mapping, but no AoEI'm interested to see how it works with Whirling Slash, Earthquake, or anything with a CD
So they made rare gloves 3x better with martial artist and unique gloves 20% betterWhy? Why do they hate uniques having power in this game?
>>5679557471. Did this build get better or worse this patch?2. How much investment does it need to get really tanky?
>>567956810>poe>uniques having powerApart from a few chase unique items, they have always been inferior to rare items, rather than simply serving as replacements for them, as is often the case in most ARPGs.
>new /poeg/>noone has posted the goddessnot on my watch
>>567956473Shut uuuuuup, GGG still has almost a week to nerf it.
charging a post so I can post later with much more shitposting effect, just like poo2 gameplay
>>567956469Yeah it was disabled when it got added but apparently it got enabled sometime during 0.4.
>>567956837Idk it's not my build, I just remembered hearing about it so I looked it up. The guy has a guide linked in the video description which has stuff explained for upcoming league.
>>567957014but furina is in the op?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qJyzOBBAVU
streamers are really milking monk meme. Its a boring and uncool archetype no one is rushing to play the season just for a monkey.
Since d4 is about stacking multiplicative damage modifiers, what is poe2 about to get the damage to clear end game maps easily?
>>567956983This isnt about uniques overall having more or less power, its that taking anything but rare gloves on martial artist is fuckign retarded since they gimped uniques hardcore for that ascendancy in particular
>>567957289monk is the most fun class by far
>>567957342gear.
Another summoner league.
>>567957342big weapon and crit damage
>>567954518I'm playing martial artist fists of stone with facebreaker and I hope it lets me keep mace skills. Don't want to use quarterstaff again.
>>567952075that's right there's nothing feminine about catwalk modelswide hips are feminine thonarrow hips are masculinethe wider the hips the less your feet angle outbc the wider the pelvis the wider the hipsand the wider the pelvic bone the more you pass as a biological woman trannyif our (my) descendants mellenias into the future find only your pelvic bone they'll log you down as a man trannybecause it's not wide enough for your femurs to slot into it in such a way that your feet become less angled out as a man'sso they'll say that was a guyit's why real girls can have thigh gaps
hear me out... monk wyvern
>>567957557>bro's cookin
>>567956837The pob is just shit tier uniques (and CoF), it's practically a free build.
>>567957557now thats a $20 BUILD
>>567957539>that's right there's nothing feminine about catwalk modelsstopped reading there youre retarded. western women wider hips than asian and catwalk emphasizes figure, hips and legs much more than retarded animu pose for chubby asians with short stubby legs. Youre a faggot, go back to your tranime
>melleniasSAAR NVKE
>>567957631So why isn't this build more talked about?
>>567957667Because no big-name streamer hasn't yoinked it yet.
I dont want to play the monkboy. He looks like a trap. I dont have the mental energy to reroll if he sucks.
>>567957289>play the seasonfuck off tourist
>>567954691what build is sandbinacoded
>>567957636catwalk emphasises being lanky and androgynous I bet there are literal troons amon real girl models in the west
>>567956469not bad
>>567957701Is build popularity really dictated by streamers this much?
what effect do you think the mageblood will have? it has to be related to charms
>>567957557>bro thinks he's cookin
>>567957014make her push her boobs
>>567957760toxic rain
gonna start on hcssf, probably die in some juiced map somewhere and continue standard, since it doesn't kick you from the league now, nice change
>>567957848every charm will get a secret effectthat secret effect will be applied constantly
Unironically the game's quality dropped when it started pandering to minioncucks this counts for both games btw way
>>567957848I dunno all i know is you're retarded if you rely on your belt for anything other than HH or mageblood. If you use any other unique you a dumdum
is pooge a dfc or hag general?
>>567957014Rock hard.
>Detonate Living
poe lacks more gothic themes, fuck this tribal aussie shit
>A greater inverted contact angle was observed in female participants, compared to males during heelstrike, resulting in an overall greater eversion angle at midstance of 15° to 18° in females, compared to 9° to 12° among males. During midstance, as heel lift was initiated, a rapid, greater inversion angle of 10° to 12° was observed in the female runners, compared to 8° to 10° in males.
Why is this Bald Fucking Retard so spiteful?
>>567958072act 2, 3 & 4 are all brown-coded, sand, jungle, temple shitact 5 and 6 better be highly gothic themed
>>567957826Anon...
>>567958172Reused town 'n manor assets from Holten and some extra city assets, comin' up.
>>567958136he misses the attention :(
>>567958072that's act 1. it goes Germany, Syria, Mexico, IndonesiaAct 5 and 6 will be in China because CCP said so.
>>567957047Good, I want them to nerf it. There's nothing they can realistically do to deter me from playing totems but if everyone sees numbers go down they'll start doomposting and fuck off so I can get my shit for cheap.
>>567958172Acts 5 and 6 will be about Oriath so it’s Roman stuff. Gothic stuff is only modern Ezomytes and perhaps Kalgurans.
>>567958243i have brown-fatigue
>>567958172I think we need more monsters with tits like the siren.
Haven't played since 0.1 because it's a shit game, how time-intensive is this stuff looking like at a glance?
Act 4 was a nice change of pace. Act 1 is dark brownAct 2 is bright brownAct 3 is jungle brownAct 4 finally the sun and colours happened for a bit. Also, Interlude 3 had orange forests and snowHonestly, brown should be removed from artists colour pallets and force them to improvise.
>>567958430About a weekend of work
>>567958430You’ve got at least three months, so it shouldn’t be a problem.>But there won’t be a new league here until DecemberThey said they’d be releasing some in-between patches and small leagues
>>567958430a week if you're somewhat familiar with how poo1 does leagues, much less if you are comfortable with poe 2 current endgame
>>567958561Got other stuff to do in the summer + there's other games to play too. And who knows, maybe 0.5 will actually be Funâ„¢ but I'm not counting on it.>>567958572Yeah I'm a 36/40 enjoyer every league.
>>567958430Hard to say as it would probably depend largely on your own speed but going off the name I assume it boils down to>complete atlas master questlines >use some currency>see every map layout>beat Arbiter's dadNo idea what the reliquarian would be though, you'd think it would be acquiring uniques but I that feels particularly arbitrary, it may just be completing the atlas passive tree. For me I would say a month but I am a chronic dilly-dallyer
>>567958713it will be a breeze then, gl fren.They are 100% making it trival to complete as an onboarding process to 2rists and dads.
>>567958136When will his arpg be done?
I WILL leaguestart sorc with edcI WILL go varashtaI WILL build a skeleton armyno, I don't like going fast. It's just sort of comfy ok?
>>567958805Reliquarian requires you to identify unique items.
>>567958805Reliquarian is just "ID 50 Uniques"Basically, FREE
give me a dedicated sprint button without the need to sloproll beforehand. also give me cancelable attack animations. I want to sprint cancel and do micro dashes in between attacks, now that would truly be engaging melee combat.
>>567958979>the human centrifugeWhat will those wacky chinese think of next.
>>567958430probably super easy stuff234 maps12 league mechanic shit3 pinnacle bosseswhat would 50 reliquarian be? using some type of league mechanic item I guess
>>567958952>the masterliterally finish the 3 masters quests in maps>The cartographerfinish your atlas >the artisancould be to use 1 of a few currencies
>>567959039>what would 50 reliquarian be?Identify 50 different unique items I'd imagine.
>>567959097Not even different ones, literal babby challenge that would be among the first few in poe1.
>>567959097even easierif you're not done with your challenges in the first 3 days you'll be kicked from the poeg guild
>>567959193access to the guild stash on hcssf will be revoked
>>567957826Nigger, some people here only watch out for e-celeb builds to see what crafts will sell, or what builds to avoid (because it will be costly to build)...
>>567958172not a big fan of those settings in general, but i liked the aztec-inspired stuff, they had insane aesthetics
I wanted to try out some different things to see what feels nice early on monk Why the fuck are uncut level 1 gems 13 div lmao?
>>567959693it gets overplayed and overshadowed because the theme between aztec vs karui are both very brown-coded, but whatever i guess im cringe
>>567957826pootard community consists in 95% of subhuman drones taking direct orders from the streamermen
>>567959892They are rare and only drop at the very beginning.
>>567955747listen unless a build guide shows delirium + abyssal map + wisps it's complete bait.i have a feeling this build will do zdp and get onetapped against the shark boss on 3 wisps plus deli and a juiced t16 map
>>567959892because they are rare
>>567958172act 4 is nothing like that though. >kingsmarch and its kino aesthetic>misty shipwrecks>poe 1 ledge-coded island>rain blasted abandoned prison>traversing a volcano>mediterranean cult town>all the karui shit It's by far the best act they've ever done in either game and if you don't agree you're brown coded
>>567960019>>567959969ohh can you not sell the one you get from making a new character?
>>567958430>>567958952This is literally baby mode, just fuck around in the endgame for a few hours and you are done.
>just made a newfags yoink 300div from the poeg guild chest and give them to me>he gets kicked from the guild
>>567960056I’m not sure. In any case, 13 divs are practically worthless in the current economy.
>>567960056i'm sure you could but at league start they are not that expensive because of the large volume of new characters. it's only after most people are done playing the cost spikes.
>>567960087That's the point, just a trail run to acclimate newfags to the system.
>>567960047>all the karui shit he said brown-coded, yes
>>567960089
>>567960087the whole theme of this patch is easing people into endgame
>>567960089unironically good for you.
i've probably been called a retard like 1000 times by now
>>567960262retard
>>567960262All those retard posts will be lost in... timeLike retards in the threadretard
>>567960089300 div in 0.4 is worth like what, 1 div in a regular league?
>>567960262i only get called a retard like once a month, sounds like a skill issue a retard would have, retard
this gameplay fire yo!!
holy shit angormus got destroyed mentally with the shield wall nerfhe literally banked everything on an ability that 2 shots bosses
>>567960318not anymore since divs are more common
>>567960361retard
>>567960361That 2 shots bosses with shit gearHe was literally bantering in some speedrun 2 days ago that he is dealing too much damage, i think it was with Fubgun These HCucks warriors know no shame for real
>>567960337Retard
>>567960448and he had no backup plan and he's pretty shit with other classesa total retard who knew races at exilecon would be running 0.5
>>567960335retard
>>567958430seems easy af compared to poe1 40/40.Finish atlas tree, fully level atlas masters, id 50 uniques, and kill some pinnacle (can probably do quest version)
>>567960262is the rain a metaphor that we are all retards or is that the 1000 times you have been called a retard? tears in the rain etc
>>567960337SOVL
>>567958430this shit looks easy compared to the 36/40 for POE1, GGG are easing newfags into challenges
>>567960535
Why is there such an overlap between arpg players and vtumor/gacha players?I'm an anime enjoyer but that crowd makes me physically ill. I wish them nothing but the worst.
>>567960879There's no such thing, it's just a couple of really loud retards.
>>567960746>cookie clicker is soul
>>567960879Look at the website you're on retard
>>567960968retard
>>567960879>why does autism genre have so much overlap with other autistic shitretard
>>567960879because people like easy games, retard
>>567960879Pippa is based tho
>>567960337Never forget what they took from you.
>>567960879There isn't, you made all that up in your head
>>567960879You are not frequent in other /vg/ threads, right?/vg/ is infested with gacha, and they live viscerally through their current gacha slop, just like vtumors.
>>567956469mashing bell every .5 sec or lower. I want comfy not arthritis or carpal tunnel
>>567960335i wish to impregnate Kuro
>>567956807>I'm interested to see how it works with Whirling Slashthey showed that off in their vid. they unloaded 9 clones of whirling slash onto some map boss and it died.
>>567960879>>567961094I blame the increasing internet access for jeets. And SEAcreatures.Insufferable people.
>>567958979they added a separate button for sprint or for roll. either way it achieves what you were asking for
>>567961090no I didn't
>>567954264I never play when the league starts. That shit's gay.They didn't change the tub at all right? I don't want to play a game without max inflation economics.
i don't playhow did freena become poe
>>567961094vicariously
>>567961316there are only like people who make the OP, one spams memes about poop or whatever and the other one posts gacha whores. i'm gonna pick the second one

>>567962047no, its full of pootards

at least the furinafag fixed the op
>>567962249you should burn down your house (or apartment if you're poor), there's a pootard in there

Haven't kept up with anything since the liestream, is plants still good and is companion spirit walker a massive bait?
Man why does GGG ALWAYS FUCKING DO THIS>announce cool new shit>nerf it just hours after revealing the cool new shitEVERY FUCKING TIME MAN
I love watch nugi struggle
Is there any reason to not go MA on every attack build?
>>567962972>>567963097>nerf?
>>567963257uhh...fun?
>>567963265https://www.reddit.com/r/PathOfExile2/comments/1tl15bq/martial_artist_mountains_teachings_nerfed/
>>567963332Whatever. This is probably the most boring node of the lot. Even those combo stuff will be more interesting.
>>567961205that was Whirling Assault
>>56796333230%x40%=its fucking nothing
>>567963062yeah still goodnah it's probably ok
>>567963460>deals 20% more damage is now 15%>70% less damage taken is now 40% >fucking nothingretards
>>567963097why are you so fragile about nerfs? adapt and overcome
>>567963675Jonathan kindly fuck off willya
>>567963738you didn't answer why you're fragile though
>>567960879i like anime and world ending 1980s dark fantasy diablo inspired kino what can i say am i not allowed to?
poe2 needs like 5x as many nerfs as it has now.
>>567962639By using gear that gives me spirit
When tha stars are aligned on Tuesday attacks that you think about 2 minutes beofrehand will deal 10% more damage if they are prepped for the bull and almonds are activated
>>567954730I was looking to try transforms on Shaman but he has no fucking synergy, Titan is so much better.
why are 2jeets so obsessed with "muh balance?" do they think troonathan's game is competitive?
How things are looking up for us bearbros?
im actually excited to play martial artist in 0.5
I'm excited to play with my friends and do the campaign with them
>>567964203balance just means everyone stronger than me should be nerf, it's communism
>>567964203Some people are so retarded they feel forced to use an OP build, rather than something they enjoy that might be normal powered
>>567964280I'm playing Monk for the first time and it's pretty fun.
I only play builds crafted by the greatest poe2 player there ever was: spud the king
>>567964403Same. I got a couple of friends to tag along this league so I'm excited to see what they thing.
>>567963459oh right. well whirling slash doesn't do much on its own. i'm sure the clones use it just fine. they don't use the whirling twister combo tho.
Permafrost bolts with cast on freeze. Retarded?
>>567957905>hc>ssf>standardRetard.
>>567964280It's getting nerfed before fridaythat shit seems stupid OP for many builds
haven't played monk before, what skill should I level with if I intend to go punching fast route?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4bDUYgIS0Ithe chinks are onto it
>>567964720Crossbows are always a fun time, what your plans for the payload?
>>567963837
I didn't play Druid in 0.4. I read bonded runes were good but I'm looking at the list and the common ones give nothing while the good bonuses are behind special runes with shitty main effects. Like I'm not gonna not put iron runes on my chest piece. Am I missing something?
>>567964913>chinksThat's a gook, retard.
>>567965080is there a difference?
>>567964917IDK I like frostwalls. Could use Shaman to get spell damage with rage as its using attack and spells. Just trying to think of something that isn't heralds with attacks.
>when 2 poo2troons are trying to keep the hype going
>>567965134chinks taste like noodles, gooks like fish
What build lets me do this in poe2?

I don't think I have fun playing HC. I spent all of last season farming and never taking risks. I beat the quest Arbiter once and never touched it again.
>>567970234Build combo with all attack skills and do what with the combo?The only good thing is that energy shield recharge delay thing and quarterstaff bell shit
>>567970593Arbiter is more or less why I don't play HC in POE2. I'm not the type of player who can consistently avoid a 1mm misstep especially when panicked.POE1 boss oneshots tend to have much longer windows for you to react, and you have better mobility. In POE2 it's "woops monkeyslammed"
>>567969650
>>567969120no idea, i haven't played in awhile. it's going to depend on what low hanging fruit i can abuse and ill fill in from there.did they nerf the temporal chains slow stacking stuff?
>>567970387their act 1 is fine, the issue is the first 6 levels or so if you actually play maces or quarterstaffs and not something elsefor Monk you should really just buy a spear
>>567966313You might also be surprised to learn that Guff "Tiny" Grenn is one of the largest if not the largest syndicate member. Hillock may or may not be larger. There's another Grenn called Musky "Two-Eyes" Grenn. Guess how many eyes he has.
act 3 is making me drop the game i thought everyone was joking but the areas are such a slog and now im getting raped by that warrior woman from the past
it's amazing how this ascendancy just shits on like 80% of the other ones in terms of power>>567971215>now im getting raped by that warrior woman from the pastgiwtwm
>>567966313>if you think I'll swallow, you're sorely mistaken
how does ward work? if i have 500 life, 500 ward with no armor and i get hit for 1k do i or do i go to 1 life with 500 ward?
>>567971215being reworked this patch
>>567971302no, you die.
>>567971023Yeah there was a general reduction in curse power based on monster rarity and also they nerfed how slow magnitude stacking works so it's less effective across the board now iirc. They also capped how much you can slow in total iirc. It sounds like a lot but it's still pretty potent.
>>567970387warrior has the strongest act 1 in the game
>>567971215B-b-but now you just have to stand on the pressure plates instead of going through a 5 second cutscene on each one.The campaign is dogshit meant for a singular one time clear. It's single player bait meant to trick normalfags into playing the game.
>>567971215>im getting raped by that warrior woman from the pastgetting gaped by viper napuatzi over and over 400 times until you git gud and actually learn the fight is a poo2 rite of passage.
>>567970925It has gotten so much worse since 0.1 with boss circles giving random monkey spawns too. The freaking Ritual change where you are going to have to fight 5 bosses at once in the tiny ritual circle might be the end of hc poe for me. Just nothing to do other than only run it if you can burst down the bosses immediately
>>567969923Armour does improve once you get better gear but you will just get instakilled in tougher content every so often no matter what if you are getting hit repeatedly. People avoid this by exploding screens because it's easier to get huge damage than huge defenses, and because you want to be clearing fast. This isn't unique to armour but armour specifically is not good against big hits which is mostly how you die. Warrior/maces is just a rough start for newer players because you are forced to interact with shit like ground degen and monsters in a way that ranged characters aren't until you get to the aforementioned giga screen clear
>wants to play monk starter>but the first 15 minutes of monk make me want to quit and unistal tub of exile 2Holy shit bros... Why they can't buff monk a little?
The only things to get excited about are the new classes.They didn't overhaul the skills enough to create new space for interesting builds. So many of the late game spells in this game have cooldowns which is absurd when Poe2 endgame is the same as Poe1's endgame.
>>567967357>>567967495>>567968360>>567969923actual retards
>>567970925>>567971650not enough people play HC to balance the game around it being comfy. very much a self-imposed challenge for people who enjoy the core of argpg gameplay, as opposed to poe1 endgame gameplay.
>>567971215first time I played the game I also got stuck there for a long time
>>567971691Don't you just spam killing palm and falling thunder from the start???
>>567971726no that's incorrect there's loads of other stuff to be excited about.
>>567971543well good to know that other people have problems with her too, how much left do i have of act 3
>>567971784I think it's fair enough for non-shitters, but when it comes to boss fight execution, I simply am a shitter, I rip to quest exarch ball phases regularly, no way in fuck can I do the precise Arbiter single seed timing.
>>567971932Two big zones but that's it
>>567971691>15 minutesI'm already in maps as monk by then
>>567971691buy a spear from a vendor or mule a spear
>>567972004the interesting thing about the patch is that Arbiter seems to be separate from the rest of the Origins of Divinity questline. so you kind of do want to do him in order to make tablets rare but in HC you could delay the quest version basically as long as you want. maybe there will even be an alternative way to get rare tabs anyway.
>>567971691retard

>>567969910he'd have to hit you for over 5k physical to one tap
>>567972253Is this the new Face of the Community?
A lot of things in poe2 are similar but different than the poe1 counterpart and sometimes it's worse. It feels like they are cornered because they have to justify the 2 in poe2.
I think I'm going to try Sorc this league
Did they ever exlpain why they put a cd on Flameblast? The damage wasn't even egregious but they slapped a 10s cooldown on it while COC gets to go around nuking bosses down before the fight actually starts.
dunno if anyone else has posted this but I can't see there being a better leaguestart options guide. https://youtu.be/lBG7VbKmxwc?si=V77kIIpeAo7us046
>>567972348they don't want people to scale it with cast speed.
>>567971302Like energy shield but under life instead of over it
>>567972213If I'm going to permanently delay/skip a boss then I don't really have a reason to play HC, I like to aim for the sky. POE2 has hc-lite built in anyway so some of the fun of making a hard to kill char and getting tested all the time is there.
>>567971862>JUST SPAM KILLING PALM>targeting is shit, any hits stuns you and you can't use falling thunderHave you ever played the game?

>>567972950Yeah but not chaos
>>567972968god DAMN IT
>>567972702only option is to buy the fragments in standard then run arby 100 times, intentionally dying in the second phase until you learn the shit out of him. then do it again before fighting him in HC for reals.
>>567972004you just one tap him before he activates mechanicslike the sissies doalso you can tank one of his nukes with enough esjust don't fuck up twice before you get es back

>>567973020how big are all the penalties together when you hit maps?
>>567972702I'll be amazed if none of the new bosses have intentionally hard-to-avoid guaranteed one-shots.

>>567973439>bellslop
>>567973106I did him a million times but it's just different hwen you're afraid, fear is the mindkiller.>>567973109I like just not playing HC (for the time being at least) more than cheesing with absurd DPS. He's not really the only problem (there's monke in maps, citadel bosses doing unexpected damage like Geonor beams, various actually easy bosses that can still fuck you up if you're not playing at 100%) >>567973301I don't remember the number but it's not too bad, and POE2 is balanced around not capping resists anyway so you can go through the campaign with uncapped resists even on HC. Early on you can just plug holes with runes.
>>567973189apparently it only gets really good with infusions. the tiers takes ease-of-use and ramping time into consideration. he's aware that average players are in Act 3 after 10 hours for instance.
>>567973106yeah but then you have to play sissy core for a whilebc you have nothing to buy fragments withand playing sissycore makes you softgives you sissy core habitsjust watch a video he's easy
it's pretty funny watching streamers that hated poe2, suck it's dick and eat it's shit now.
Facebreaker will be ridiculously expensive
>>567973494Pretty much. What's designed to kill you will be killing you at 75 resist or 20 resist anyway, like the pyro's run attack
>>567973494I just realized you're making a case for why you DON'T play HC not asking for HC advice. I don't play it either I just used to in poe1.
>>567973703that mf was terrifying before sprinting trivialized it
why are buildtrannies taking so long to make new builds? no one made a build of the character I want to play yet
>>567973540the really funny part is that they still hate it, they're just forcing themselves to pretend otherwise because GGG have won the battle of game design vs being content-creator-friendly.
Bros tell me it isn't so... Is the monk fucking fist node actually better than anything the Smith of Kitava can do with his body armors? Apparently the fist of stone martial artist node is basically like putting a juiced chest piece on your fucking hands. WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON!?!?!
>>567973301-60%, 10 per act
>>567973723Ye, sorry to pull you into my pity party kek. Maybe I'll go back to it regardless, if the new endgame and builds are too modest to fuck around with for a month or two.
>>567964789yeah, retard, when you die in hc you drop to not-hc, so the standard league, didn't mention ssf there since i had already and it wasn't relevantalso, ssf is just more natural, fits the grimdark world, rely only on yourself and what you can find, that's standardtrade is easy mode for sissies
i want to fall for the rf staff meme but what asc has single target since rf wont do shit to bosses? djinns/minions are enough? didnt played vod yet
>>567973540i cant think of a single example
I'm going play minions
>>567971784ggg developers play HC/HCSSF
>>567973938>Apparently the fist of stone martial artist node is basically like putting a juiced chest piece on your fucking handsA chest slot is more powerful than a glove slot, so yeah, it's a pretty big deal.It's a lot of power for an ascendancy node, not only the added tank but also the added utility like onslaught, power charges and other fuckery you can get on there.
>>567973938Smith is still the goat when it comes to not worrying about what mods are on a t15+ waystone.
>>567974067zizsteelmagecarntunaoneretardleftdo i need to go on
>>567974002I'm considering it too just because I get bored after big boss kills in endgame and it becomes about farming to get modest gear upgrades. I probably need to get my deaths per campaign run below 50 though xD
>>567974067all the poe1 streamers did its why kaltorak sperged the fuck out and called them all toursits
once they add all leagues to poo2 the game will feel too much like poo1, it'll basically be the same game with different combat and gem system, they need to find a way to differentiate them further once we hit 1.0
im gonna fucking say itkaltorak was right

>>567974505damn voice crack and terrible gameplay
>>567973478summoning bells from thin air, where does this retarded idea originate from? what the fuck is cool about punching bells as a monk? why are so many people okay with this?

>>567974601The only reason to play smith is the max res nodes
>>567974067>>567974168don't forget ben. streamers in general don't like stuff that can kill them because during a league launch they lose audience every time they die.
>>567974668yeah but if they add the same content to both games like they have been doing it'll feel the same
>>567974601I think people were always getting the maxres nodes when maxres was more accessible but nowadays they might not, but that could change again with the new runes/items, if you can hit 90% fire easily.Think you always wanna take>phys taken as fire>armour applies to ele>maximum life>crit immunity or wildcard, early on it can be fire resbut it depends on your build, almost all of those nodes are good.

>>567975173retard
>>567974771Ed/c feels kind of bad without any spell damage though
>>567974769>ggg let us leap slam over monsters>campaign is instantly just leap slamming over 90% of packsnah
>>567974771It's miserable to do the campaign without damage nodes, I would just play attacks a bit instead
>>567974505>look out for the slamkino
>>567973776Still is a bit scary since it's 10 seconds of playing the horror movie side characters.>>567973938Kind of, it's one of the strongest nodes out in the game but only because it scales incredibly well with glove mods and can provide shit you can't pick up anywhere else. Using gloves for defenses is a big meme when it's one of your primary sources of added damage, but this increases those as well. Smith's DIY chest meanwhile comes with imo too big a trade off comparatively, but that's Smith's identity and it gives you much better defenses other than armor. I expect this sort of OP shit like cause Smith to get reworked since it's become a jobber ascendancy
>>567975543you already can do that
>>567974505>this gameplay's broadcast has expired and chat replay is no longer available aw
>>567975771the character has a tiny collision size so sometimes there is a path between monsters, like with dodgeroll. what's happening in that clip is he's trying to leap slam diagonally downwards directly through the boss model so no bueno
>flask chest>Manastack helmet>Svalinn>New two hander mace>Gloves with life and mana>Shoes with life and manaCould this work? Technically the added damage from mana from both the helmet and the mace should let me skip any source of added damage on the rings, amulet, and belt
I think runic ward is going to make the game too easy, I don't even know why they added it, the game is not hard for us to need more saves
>manastack helmet???
>someone is complaining that the game will be too easy>investigate further>nearly always a softcore playerloving every laugh.
>>567972938what's ED contagion
>>567974505I always thought this was a skill issue but I just now realized he's clicking the bottom of the screen and the jank animations aren't following his mouse lmaoholy poo!
>>567976262I'm a bit worried that they aren't going to buff monster damage and accuracy in the campaign to compensate for the defensive buffs. the thing is that average players struggle much more in the campaign than shitters here so it wouldn't be completely surprising, especially given that this is mostly an endgame patch. ggg likely want more players to reach endgame.
Subnautica 2 wonPoE2 lost.
>>567976524no, he's just not allowed to leap slam through a boss. working as intended.
>>567976524he clicked south and his toon when west, really weird

Why is his body covered in tattoos and glowing?
>>567976986yo ts hilarious
>>567977782>>567977708nope. if your white armour only has 500 armour you can't get as much ward as a titan wearing a 2500 armour base, because you don't have as much to trade.
I was going to start tornado lich next league, but holy shitWhy is it a level 41 gem?Why is it damage over time meaning you can't convert it or gain as extra?Why is it physical and all elemental damage types but without converting the phys away?You could do a ton of stuff if it was just hit based with gain as extra if it sucked up ele ground, but they decided to make it pure shit for some reasonI guess I'm playing ED/C again until I quit the league from boredom

>>567977895wakandan magic
>>567978064there is nothing about Smith that makes ward better. it's even a problem because you really want to corrupt (and double-corrupt) your chest to add enchants, so investing verisium into it as well increases the costs. call me retard again if you want you've just misunderstood what is good about the mechanic. smiths're better off life-stacking for one-shot protection

>>567978628if you can only trade the armour's base armour for ward that means you could make % increased armour mods worthless by converting 100% of the chest piece's base armour into ward, which is retarded. but its besides the point because the question was whether Smith gets any special benefit from the mechanic and the answer is no.

Here is some insider info, on Tuesday they are going to announce Arcane Archer as the last Ranger ascendancy.
>influx of poe 2 players on /poeg/ lately>brown coded posts increase tenfoldReally makes you think
>>567976679he isn't moving over the boss, the hit box is just fucked
outsider here, the latest is that they are going to launch the league on the 29th.
>>567974335The only time I tuned into kaltorjeet I watched him portal out to the skeleton boss on some retarded reflect build that was basically just mace strike but worse
>>567954264Seriously considering just running 0.5 with the same werewolf build as 0.4, the Vision (TM) gameplay with like five railroaded buttons and dumb combos is annoying, but if you get enough damage you can ignore it and just run around using the +30% movement speed boost, use Pounce as a mobility skill like poe1 flamedash, and one tap packs of white mobs with Lunar Assault+Herald of Ice. Then for rares and bosses you just press Lunar Blessing, which is satisfying to use and plenty of poe1 builds also use a buff skill for bosses and rares, if you think of it as just furry Vaal Smite it's not an issue.I refuse to touch power charge bullshit, infusions, and any of the other garbage poo2-isms that have infested basically every other skill. Let me run around pressing one button to blast packs and then when there's a map boss I'll use a mark or curse and a buff skill or two. If Lunar Assault was a poe1 skill I'd honestly consider playing it; it's certainly more satisfying to level with than fucking Glacial Hammer is
insider hereI am inside johny tubits filled to brim with shitmy tank is running out of oxygensend help
>>567980661>No Fun Allowed: the SequelDamn, that's very unfortunate>>567980824If you want to feel tanky in this game you need like 40-50k armor and like 4k HP or some matter of extra hit pool. GGG fundamentally just doesn't want to understand that life just isn't sufficient when map content is juiced. Anyway, Ass-mad-i's sword beam is supposed to be one of those moves you dodge instead of get hit by. Maybe consider (if shaman) investing in scarred faith, barkskin, and the helmet armor to ES node?

>>567981234>125% damageI fucking hate GGG for doing this to all the cold skills. What I don't like about the werewolf gimmick is the only real damage skill it has is either on a cooldown or the fucking basic attack. It's a sick animation, but both are annoying to use. On the other hand though if you get strikes have splash on the tree you can make it work pretty well, just at the cost that Werewolf is terribly squishy compared to bear. I wish it came with leech at least or something

the crafting bench was supposedly removed and replaced with socketables because it's more accessible to new players, but now that we have literally hundreds of runes, how does that argument still hold

I think we need both bench and runes, the more options we have, the better.In return ggg can nerf values on socketables and bench modsI also think runewords are cool

I can't wait for webms of people playing boss companion builds and then showcasing how it's struggling against a single magic zombie, and then GGG buffs companions why giving them +10% to all res
>>567980824let me rephrase, i get that you died and i was saying i also died with 200k to ele from geonor citadel ice beam. but the armor in poe is just fucked in general bigger hits against armour are negated less. the correct answer is to drop armor and go es or es/ev (+- deflection)
>>567982839Understandable, I made it to about level 12 before I pressed alt+f4 on my practice run

How good are:>armour applies to chaos damagedesecration on helm>% phys taken as chaosperfect essence on str body armouras defense options?
>>567982927>buffing mid leagueOnly nerfs allowed.
so the twister meme is already dead i guess
>>567981607yeah I did it as witch hunter this league to fix the defensive issues inherent to playing a short range melee skill. 125% at 20 is obviously super low but on the other hand like everything else you can scale it with gem level (RIP +5 perfect essence of battle....) and since poe2 bosses are so much weaker than poe1 ones and pinnacles are a joke it doesn't really matter.The hardest content in the game has like 10 million life, you can kill them with autoattacking as long as you have a good weapon. Spells are fucked since there's no way to get added flat damage, only % gained as extra, so if GGG pisses on your build by saying "this is a dedicated utility spell it will never do damage even at gem level 40" you're fucked, but any attack skill with at least 100% weapon damage can be brute forced to one shot mapping just by getting a good weapon and a Herald (which ALSO doesn't work with spells lmao, GGG fucking hates caster in 2)
Anyone bitching about runes is playing the game wrong and their opinion is invalid
>>567982826it's useless because path of exile has over a decade of powercreep, most of that powercreep was in the form of advanced crafting systems that mog the crafting bench. there is a reason the best crafters don't seem to give a fuck about the lack of a crafting bench in poe2.
>>567983058It's good to split incoming damage as much as possible because it makes your armour do more work.
>>567983058armour applies to chaos is good but you cant target it so good luck. phys taken as chaos is a prefix so its unusable.
>>567983156patch didn't do anything to it
>>567983234the best crafters don't give a fuck about literally anything in poe2 lol
>>567983156I finished act1 in 50 minutes after few triesBreathed through acts 2 and 3.I think its literally best build for campaigns, damage is straight up INSANE. It can be even better if you are willing to bother with parry bullshit or frost bomb+nova bullshit in act 1
>>567983208>300 runes are deposited in your account
>>567983058Chaos damage isn't really a big threat in this game but chaos conversion on chest is good defensive layer once you get chaos res rings
>>567983308trvke. they all quit after the harvest manifesto.
DAMN this build is CRAZY
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZwVlHjlBE8Dyup. its a twister league again
fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck i need to spend some 100+ divs and get challenge carries before everyone leaves to poo2 fuuuuuuuuu
>>567981942because you are stopped at jewel nodes, you have to mostly settle for switching clusters that have one path to the notable being your setup (ex inc immob buildup) one being your payoff (ex more dmg against immob enemies) and even these on rails interactions suck because then you get to the notable and you have to pick one weapon set for it to benefit and usually they have something for each path, so one set gets fucked either way lmao. if they didn't block the jewel sockets you could have some interesting swaps that completely change your entire build but as it is, it just feeds into the combos they already wanted you to be doing.
>>567983308theres no point in caring about poe2 yet because the permanent realms dont exist yet
>>567983535is that the guy that jerked off while live
The gem system is 100 times better in 1 than 2. Having limitations on how many 6 links you can conventionally get allowed support gems to be more impactful and not be gimped by conditional mmo rotation mechanics, items interacted with skills in a much more interesting and direct way, socket colors corralled builds without having to go full retard on attribute requirements, and it just looks coolerNot to mention it performed the essential function of filtering total retards who can't figure out fusings or chromes, the removal of which has been disasterous for PoE2's overall player IQ
>>567983643yes, to captainlance btw

>will start as good old armor tank>meanwhile, everyone will brick their endgame with twister jank>switch to huntress two weeks later and buy all the endgame gear of the failed amazons for cheapworks every single league
>>567983234metamods and being able to turn a 5-mod item into a 6-mod one with zero RNG are both incredibly useful. If you're at 60% fire resistance you don't give a shit that a T1 mod would overcap you by more than just crafting 30% with the bench, and the fire/cold/lightning+chaos and other Unveiled crafted mods were so good and useful especially for SSF that it felt mandatory to start Jun every league so GGG made them accessible without doing Betrayal to improve league start varietygetting res swaps after 5 fucking patches is nice but sockets are still no substitute for actual bench craft prefix/suffixes; especially when slotting in Greater Iron Runes for more base weapon damage and armor/evasion/energy shield even with full prefixes is the "correct" choice 90% of the time
>>567983716>filtering total retards who can't figure out fusings or chromedo you really have to invent a completely fictional demographic of people to feel better about being a shitcrow shitter?
>>567983634We do already have a standard realm since 0.1 retard
>>567981815having modifiers tied to separate itemised drops allows for easier fine-tuning and balancing of acquisitionhaving metamod runes on items with variable runes makes for more interesting crafting environment, where exceptional bases with more sockets than usually allowed opens up new craft possibilties and methodsnew players get to slowly acquire knowledge of crafting possibilties as they keep encountering new runes instead of having a long list dumped onto themsocketables allow for interesting item affixes that interact with them or the socket countsocketables allow for non-destructive item modifications, increasing the flexbilty of your gear without impacting pre-existing item affixessocketables can have various themes, instead of being fungible benchcraft tokens (divine orbs), which makes them target farmable via specific mechanicssocketable themes might interact with each other (ie. modifiers that work if socketable of type idol is inserted alongside a socketable of type rune into an item or for mutual exclusion of socketable types in one item)socketables instead of fungible benchcraft tokens might interact with other game systems and mechanics (such as corruption, as seen in the case of soul cores and architect soul cores in the lira vaal temple)i could keep going, but i know i wont be met with anything else than pure cope and seethe
>>567982292It doesn't work with Jewel sockets or Keystones. If it allowed you to weapon set those it would unironically be amazing, as is the passive tree is too weak and so much of your power is in gear+jewels that even 100 points is mediocre.in PoE1 it would be game breakingly powerful to swap trees at will between attacks with no cooldown since the poe1 passive tree has so much more power
>>567983716nah, fuck poe1 gem system. I was there when a useable 6-link was an endgame luxury. I was there when they had to bring the crafting bench into the game because 6-linking was so insane. I wasn't there anymore when they had to increase drop rates of currency because even with the crafting bench, 6-linking was torture. fuck poe1's gem system. fuck it to hell, then back, then fuck it back to hell again. rest in piss, dogshit system.
>>567983846>invent a completely fictional demographicThis was literally one of the most bitched about things by redditors i.e. (you) which is the entire reason why it was removed in tub mode
Hollow Palm technique got nerfed, right? Is it still any good? I kind of want to try hollow palm martial artist, but they also hit ES hard this patch too. Feels like the archetype got hit by strays.

>>567983878being able to toggle a bunch of shit on and just craft in your inventory is such a god tier qol.i can understand being weirded out by it at first because it's a training wheels off form of crafting, but it is much better. except for going to the fucking well to unveil, that is gay and retarded.
>>567983846>>567984023lmao
>>567983716I always loved how gems tied into the lore and having them be socketed into your gear made them feel like real tangible items that were doing things, now in poe2 you just stick them in a random menu with no ties to the world. sad
>>567984081It's good but yeah need to get good rings and shit for the lategame
>Martial Artist can equip a 1100 Evasion 400 Energy Shield pair of gloves that also gives them 20% More global defenses>they can also equip 5 free runes for 100% inc defenses>they can easily achieve 50k evasion and 5k energy shield, regening 1k+ ES every single second with ghost shrouds while also reducing incoming damage by 40% with the new Deflect formula, becoming completely immortalHow is this balanced?
>>567984023the poe1 system with all white sockets would be better than poe2; being limited in the number of 6-links available to a build and being able to run a utility 4-link with 2 skills linked to 2 supports that work with both is a more interesting system than poe2 where everything can be 6 linked with no opportunity cost besides currency and there's no way to combine skills without a meta gem
>>567984252its because poe1 gems were using geomantic gyre technology passed down from the titans to avoid direct gem contact with your flesh, which was lost during the fall of oriath resulting in mankind reverting to subdermal gem grafting, you dumbfuck lorelet
>>567984252>random menu with no ties to the world.yeah its funny how they added shit like the smelting bench thing and flask wellbut then one of the core parts of the game is just a menu popup only slightly tangentially connected to gear
>>567984093>>567984239what point are you trying to make? everything stated is a fact
>>567984032>>567984239I don't have a reddit account and I have never witnessed a person fail to understand fusings/chromatics.The other guy is entitled to his opinion and is in no way demonstrating that he got "filtered".

>>567981942I don't even know what this does
I just finished beating Torment 12 in D4 since I was bored waiting for the PoE2 league.I can safely report that the game is bad and the main culprit is loot. Blizzard is retarded dude. Why do they have no local mods on gear? Everything is global. A flat armor roll on rings is the same as your chest piece. It just makes it so everything is just a stat stick. Even your weapon has no local mods, just some unique mods that can only go on weapons which are not the same things.I beat Lilith/Mephisto in Torment 12 along with doing the other challenges for the title reward. Campaigns were also dogshit, the story/writing is so bad. Lilith becoming a good guy or at least a morally grey 3rd party is so fucking stereotypical for blizzard.
>>567984383>no opportunity costyou can't run all 6 likes because the attribute requirements is too taxing.
How many more poops until the new patch?
>>567984383poe1 system leads to you running 1 attack skill and two movement skills and stacking the rest of your slots full of passive effects.the system gave you variety on paper, but in reality, every build now plays the same thanks to that system.
>>567984414would be cool if this was actually part of the story and the game's UI reflected it
>>567984362>How is this balanced?
GGG is in too deep to admit they were wrong. With all this stuff they are adding poe2 is already getting very close to the complexity of poe1 even though poe1 has over a decade head start. Seems clear to me that in a few years, poe1 will be the simpler / easier to understand game.
>>567984552>just some unique mods that can only go on weapons which are not the same thingsHow is that not the same thing?
>>567984634doryani speaks of it, now silence, loreguppie
>>567984626Unlike poe2 which has so much variety it has unironic combo part A and combo part B skills
>>567984362it's obviously not and it's going to take a lot of nerfs to get it into a good place
how bad is EQ titan ? Is it at least playable ?
>>567984626are we gonna have to start posting about poe2's build variety again lil gupta
>>567984362The new classes are always OP until the next patch.
>>567984904poo2 has build variety?
>>567984586no it isn't. it's +5 per support and you have 9 skill slots by default plus whatever your gear gives you, and there's 2x as much travel nodes in poe2 vs 1. not having enough attributes to run support gems has literally never been an issue, just getting 3 or 4 jewel sockets (which literally everyone wants because of how weak the tree is and how strong jewels are) will get you more than enough. The game launched with very high attribute requirements for lvl 20 gems, like 30% higher than poe1 despite travel nodes giving +5 instead of +10, but SUPPORT gem attribute requirements have never mattered. Every class's starting area is full of notables giving +5 to two attributes or +10 to one as well
>>567984868666% base damage @ lv 20 but you have to waste at least one support slot and one -duration wheel on the tree to make it viableIt's not horrible. Definitely playable if you want to. Maces in general are boring as fuck though, why not just play something like quarterstaves with similar damage and 2x the speed/defenses?
>>567983716>it just looked cooleri think you're putting a lot of weight into this one cause who gives a fuck about the rest, if they changed it so you use the orbs on your gear slots and socket the gems into your gear slots (not the actual gear) then i don't think anyone would even talk about it
>>567979259you trade base flat retarded niggersmith benefits by giving up less bc he doest have %inc retarded nigbc obv each base has a runeforged variantthat's how they make it so that below ilvl 55 items don't trade defence for wardthere isn't a retarded nigger dynamic formula that converts modified defences retard
>>567984815yes. I'm repeating myself here, but I think this cannot be said enough: poe1's gem system is dogshit. 99% of builds are 1 attack skill, 2 movement skills, and the rest completely passive effects. nascar racing 2008 has more build variety than poe1.
>>567985075quarterstaves don't have earthquake
>>567984626right, lets look at the poe2 build variety and number of buttons used compared to blink skill+travel skill+guard skill+curse/mark+vaal skill buff+clear skill
>>567985239>I'm repeating myself here, but I think this cannot be said enough: [obviously wrong thing]lol
>>567985136I just hate the MMOslop poo2 gem menuKeep this shit in lost arc
>>567984904you probably have to, since poe1 has no build variety at all, so all you can talk about is poe2
>>567983878post that silenced the poo1babs
>>567985239>2 movement skillswoah lets not get too crazy, why would i need 2 movement skills? that's too many buttons
>>567980824your armor matters less and less the more damage a hit haswith big enough hit your armor mitigates fuck all
>>567985075What are the best skills for quarterstaves nowadays?
>>567984362Monk runes are local no?
>>567985239>I am too retarded to tailor my buildsNothing's stopping you from adding bear trap or frenzy with power charge on crit lil nigga>2 movement skillszamn so even the movement in poe1 is more in depth?
>>567985301that is because of bad balancing, not because of the skill gem system.again, poe1 skill gem leads to the majority of build being exactly the same: attack skill in 6link, 2 movement skills, rest passive buffs. just because poetard A uses a phys aura and poetard B uses an elemental aura doesn't mean they are now suddenly varied. they play exactly the same.
>>567985535Most of them are viable. The only truly shit ones are the low-damage utility skills like Wind Blast and Wave of Frost, because in a proper endgame setup you will have some way to stun/freeze automatically without having to cast a shit skill.
>>567985647>rest passive buffsreally?
>>567985647sir your english is breaking down
>>567970387>get hollow palm before geonor>stomp the camp painit's literally that easy
>>567983535this is just what I did in 0.4 on zonparry is absurdly strong if you want to interact with it, that said you need the unique buckler and a whole lot of parry nodes or you just get heavy stunned and flopor a lot of hp but I solved that using kaom's
>>567983830bloody benchod
>>567980824>My pobb:>https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1b5f6yeah like i said your phys max hit is 5k retard
>>567985556>tailor my buildslol fucking maoputting a tattoo over an attribute node does is not build variety. your build plays exactly the same as 99% of other builds thanks to the dogshit gem system.
>>567985647>that is because of bad balancing, not because of the skill gem systemretard
>>567985075> why not just play something like quarterstavesI play whatever the wheel says. so titan. EQ seems cool idk
Do I play martial artist or some kind of plant based character?
poo2>comet 27%poo1>blade vortex 9%
>>567984626>running around on a Rhoa using Lightning Spear (0.2) or Lightning Arrow (0.3): One (1) (uno) buttong>flicker strike, an extremely simple and straightforward YOLO build in the current poe1 league: Flicker, Shield Charge, Blood Rage, Vaal Double Strike, Vaal Molten Shell, Mark+Mark on Hithmmmmmmmmmmhttps://poe.ninja/poe1/builds/mirage/character/Kamalok-2108/FenumalKolyaArachnid?i=5me thinks the poo2 doth protest too much
>>567985647you don't understand, poe1 is a game where you are pressing dozens of buttons every pack you encounter. it is a very mechanically intense game where you are carefully rotating through your skills and cooldowns.
>>567985889I truly do not understand why 2jeets can't stop themselves from attempting this doomed argument lmao
>>567985647I constantly see 2fags on ninja socketing complete junk because they literally don't need anything after their clear skill (1 button btw) and generator/spender boss skills.Socket pressure is constantly a factor in poe1 if you have two brain cells and are actively trying to improve your build.
>>567985889>Flicker, Shield Charge, Blood Rage, Vaal Double Strike, Vaal Molten Shell, Mark+Mark on Hitgreat example for how little build variety there is in poe1.>press attack button>press travel button>rest passive shitthanks for proving me exactly right.
>>567985239>99% of builds are 1 attack skill, 2 movement skills,this is already 3x more buttons than the average poe2 build, which for the last several leagues has been literally one button with the rest automated via headhunter buffs, cast on crit, combat frenzy charge generation, cast on freeze, or some other automation
poe2 tree is so fucking gay, every build is 90% travel nodes to grab the couple keystones your build wants + jewelsockets, just a big straight line of attribute +5 nodes
>>567986165do you know what passive means
>>567986165>>rest passive shitvaal skills are all active buffs you fucking tourist
>>567985880poe2 encourages respeccing more in ultra-endgame. it's not a balance problem because the game isn't only balanced around ultra-endgame.
PoE2 is fun but the tree does indeed suck. The skill gem system is also kinda flawed because half the game is low powered junk and the other half is weird automated comet spam. I don't really know what their end game vision of a build is. I simultaneously feel like it is too many skill gems for some kind of melee mace build, but too few gems if you want to have some crazy caster with a bunch of niche abilities.
>>567985889so why are poe1 players always complaining about combos and rotations in poe2? shouldn't y'all be right at home. >shield charge into a pack. generate some souls for your vms and some charges for your flicker. spend the souls on your molten shell, god_mode.exe, spend your charges to flicker into the next pack, by the time you are off to the next pack molten shell is off of cooldown and you have generated enough souls to use it again.
>>567985797>putting a tattoo over an attribute node does is not build varietyWe are literally talking about gems you drooling mongoloid. It really is impossible for poe2 players to not reveal they have no fucking clue how to build and need Johnathan to flat out tell them "press this button to stun the boss then press this button to damage the boss"0.5 gives you an average of 4 extra sockets minimum with imbued gems and a belt that gives permanent 100% crit, if you can't make something on your own this time around you are braindead
>>567986358>>567986390>noooo, you see, for this one passive skill, you have to press a button to get the passive effect for a minute!poe1 retards in a nutshell
>>567986414They just showed their vision of an endgame build in the martial artist showcase, you use one skill to gape the boss in five seconds. Jonathan's retarded mmo rotation vision has clearly been buck broken.
>>567986414>I don't really know what their end game vision of a build is.why do you only use endgame to assess game balance.
im gonna play 0.5im gonna ask a lot of newb question ittplease prepare and be generous
>>567986595end-game is the game, no one cares about balance in the tutorial. The larger casual audience that considers the campaign the game are the ones that play it once then question why they should come back when they already played the game. Catering to these retards is not how you build a revenue stream
>>567985880temple league has been out forever, if you filter to 95+ in both games it's even more grimThere is no defending poe2 builds; it's fundamentally flawed from the ground up with the weapon-locked skills and hyper-specific railroady support gems combined with a weak passive tree
>>567986717>end-game is the gamefalse. even in poe1 most players didn't play it much.
PoE gayming peaked with old boneshatter back when it still had totems and unbalded bannersThat shit was like a million buttons and still felt great, unlike the crossbow build I played where at one point I literally fucking fell asleep trudging through maps and holding down galvanic shards
>>567986520I'm merely pointing out that what you call variety is pretty much the same build for 99% of classes, only with different flavor coloring. the argument was about variety, and poe1 has next to none. all you do is moving numbers around while retard A uses a green skill and retard B uses a red one.
>>5679867942jeets say the strangest things
>>567986794
>>567986850concession accepted
>>567986595I think campaign balance matters, but I think that they need more consideration for the end game because you cannot keep adding more to the campaign and keep the end game as is. Because of the structure of its live service league system that requires players to repeat the campaign, it can not become reasonably longer (unless they want to change their stance). Thus, only so much can be done to create a good campaign experience. Therefore, the bulk of the effort goes into the end game, and if that is where most development time and effort goes, it is should serve as the general basis for balance with people in place to make sure the campaign is always playable for new comers. Veterans will always stomp the campaign.
>>567986450notice how those are skills organically being used together in emergent gameplay rather than a scripted mmo rotation?GGG used to make fun of the design that's now rampant in poe2. Charges don't even give actual benefits, they're pure builder-spender, they could literally be combined 1:1 with Infusions and nothing would change. https://youtu.be/pM_5S55jUzk?&t=2949
"Endgame"? You mean like when you press Exit after finishing the campaign?
>>567986717most cosmetics are sold before leaguelaunch, people's endgame hours don't correlate with spending.>revenue streamno one wants to play a flop like D4
>>567987105based campaignGAWD
>>567986838Except it isn't, and you were proven wrong then looked like a complete retard when you revealed you don't know what VMS does here >>567986554
Tri just asked is PoE 2 just better than PoE 1 in every single aspect at this point? He couldn't come up with a single way in which PoE 1 is superior right nowhttps://www.twitch.tv/talkativetri
personally I find it supremely gay that infernal legion gets giganerfed to 10% but infernalist's hound gets to stay 20%you WILL play how GGG wants you to
>>567986838There's no way you can call 99% of builds "the same" without either lying or being retarded.
>>567986850if you've ever listened to anything ggg has ever said you would know that the bulk of the playerbase quit when they hit maps. why do you think "aspirational" content is basic bitch shit like killing maven, or the big reveal for poe2 was "two campaigns leading to a shared endgame"?
>>567986554we're not talking about poo2>ONLY triggers off Werewolf Melee Attacksat least Vaal skills aren't straight out of Diablo 4; you're not forbidden from using Vaal Haste unless you have a bow equipped
>>567987152poe1 endgame players financed poe2 through mtx transactions, thinking that people who only play the campaign are the ones spending money is profoundly retarded
>>567987058>emergent gameplaythey were designed to be used that way retard
>>567986838poop two has the same varietyevery build must do zoomey explodey stuffand single target to one tap bosses to skip mechanicscolor of explodys varies somewhat to be fair tho
>>567987310okay, how come I can't use lunar blessing to call down moonbeams on a spear build? why isn't it "designed to be used that way" like poe1 skills
>>567987058>notice how those are skills organically being used together in emergent gameplayi don't really notice that no. vaal skills are literally generate/spender, you generate x amount of souls and then you spend them for a big dick attack/spell and they go on cooldown.
>>567987271>why do you think "aspirational" content is basic bitch shit like killing maventhat's not what aspirational content is>the big reveal for poe2 was "two campaigns leading to a shared endgame"because everyone knows poe1's endgame is the best part? I don't even know what point you think you're making
>>567987310>corrupting fever was designed to be used with shield chargeNow we're just flailing
I hope that after all of the weapons are in GGG goes through and changes some of the skills to allow for multiple types. If they want to have one or two exclusive skills for each weapon to keep them unique, fine. But I really wanna see most of the mace skills usable with axes.
>>567985775It sucks compared to actual good builds like ed/c
>>567987434because um...the uhhhum
>>567987038>I think that they need more consideration for the end game because you cannot keep adding more to the campaign and keep the end game as is.they aren't doing either of these things this patch lmaowhy are you so shit at arguing
>>567987038I think you can make the campaign a decent challenge alwaysnaturally people will get better at it and be less challenged, you can try to impose league challenges to try and bring back the difficulty once people get too good (optional perhaps so new players aren't screwed too hard)the bigger thing that tells the story is the difference between me rolling one mod on my weapon and socketing the correct two gems is I kill a big boss in 8-10 seconds as opposed to 60-90 secondsyou can call slotting the right gems veteran experience, but it's not like I'm better at dodging geonor for it, I just know how to blow him up before he does anything, it doesn't have to be that way but the reward you get for slotting the right gems is just crazy
>>567987503They won't, they've been complaining about how hard it is to animate melee skills for different weapons for years
>>567987516>567987516hollow palm wind blast staggering palm herald of fire completely trivializes the game for meespecially because you can get the area nodes and make it hit the entire fucking screen before level 30
>>567987236Has tri ever even seen uber arbiter
There is no need for both swords and axes in poe2
>>567987636But we have neither...
>>567987221I literally finished mirage as juggernaut delver and have been playing poe since closed beta. you have nothing on me, and you never will. I will never stop pointing out that the gem system of poe1 is dogshit and leads to lack of variety, because I lived through it all, and I'm glad that this shit will get buried forever.
>>567987580They're literally reworking all of the league mechanics and changing the atlas.
>>567985554since no one answered monk runes are indeed local... or not idk
>>567984362It has no damage and showcase is full on bait half-truths.
>>567987631He said he doesnt care about endgame anymore, that speedrunning saved the game for him. Every speedrun he feels like the boss battles matter, sprinting matters, gear matters, so on and so on. He's in love with the game now thanks to CrimsonCasts showing him speedrunning
>>567987459>everyone knows poe1's endgame is the best part?respond to the graph
>>56798724199% of poe1 builds play the game. it's a game where you pick an attack skill, two travel skills, and then nothing but passive effects to boost your attack skill. that's it. that's 99% of builds.

>>567987857it's a free to play game, the majority of players will check it out for an hour and then drop it in act 2. that population isn't relevant to anything.
>>567987919I call it that because I use it like one. who are YOU trying to fool, little zoomie?
>>567987919>newfag doesnt know vaal skills retain their original non-vaal function aswell which people automate
>>567987749>you cannot keep adding more to the campaign and keep the end game as is.which is neither of the things you said. they are not adding to the campaign (this patch).they are not leaving the campaign as is. ESL?
>>567956469>Overabundance III>Warding FetishAre there any other ways to inflict curses on yourself?All I can think of is Atziri's Allure.Hand of Chayula with 4 curses and Atziri's Allure would buff you to 120% increased damage instantly.You can get reduced effect of curses on yourself pretty easily on the passive tree.
>>567987890>>weaponswap and put down a mirage archer who perfectly channels Snipe every timedoes it? not saying it doesn't I just never tried.also it has a damage penalty right
>>567987459atziri was aspirational content, shaper was aspirational content, less that 6% of players on steam have killed maven, most people don't go past 6-12 challenges, there is a massive drop in players two days into the league.>because everyone knows poe1's endgame is the best part?sure is, but that doesn't change the fact that most players quit after the campaign.
PUT IN DAGGERS NIGGA
>>56798807930% less, yes, so now you're only oneshotting bosses instead of...oneshotting bosses
>>567988083most players quit during the campaign, chris famously said that if players get to maps they're locked in
>>567987516Agree, nerf edc
>>567987982so in other words, most people who play the game are only playing the campaign?
>>567987434can i use poo1 flicker strike without frenzy charge generation and a wand equipped??
>>567987982so you agree that "everyone" doesn't know that poe1 endgame is the best part. thanks, I'm glad you can accept that your arguments have no value. >>567987952poe1 challenges include stuff like "kill brutus". if you get to endgame you're going to have normally completed like 75%. why don't you both go and make suggestions on GGG's forums instead of complaining to no one here?
>>567988030>>567988038
>>567988167I don't feel like the timing is unforgiving enough to bother wasting spirit on mirage for it but I guess it's a matter of preference.
>>567988237>>567988305and most people who financially support the game play the endgame, which one are you more interested in as a free-to-play developer? This is an easy one, surely you can get it right
>>567988237in the same way it would be accurate to say that most people who play the game dislike it. not a very meaningful statement.
>>567987636>axesrage synergy, bleed synergy, leech synergy>swordscyclone, str/dex hybrid, blood and sand stance effects, crit synergyfrom what little we have of them on the passive tree it's looking like this is how they'll differentiate them, I just know jonathan is salivating at the idea of getting players to press a button to swap between Blood and Sand stance every couple attacks.
Give it to me straight bros how dead is pack tactician?
>>567988102maybe in 2029 after the 5th expedition rework
>>567988083actually poe1's endgame isn't the best part, the campaign and core gameplay is. played since 2013, came back when they added ruthless.
>>567988336you can go full schizo now if you want, since that is all that you have left now after finding no argument to defend yourself
>>567988261Yes.With flicker strike of powerâ„¢
man there is way too much shit in poe 2 that requires something else in order to use.
>>567988305wow literally every single person on earth doesn't actually know about poe1's endgame? thank you for the high IQ contribution
>>567987618But why go through so much effort on making variations and all that then?
>>567988419it didn't get any changes but it was jumping through a million hoops and pianoing a dozen buttons for 50k dps
NO SWORDS LMFAOOOOO
>>567988378and there is a large group of people who come back every league to playthrough the campaign for the weekend. and if you go to the forum it is pretty common to see people with dozens of mtx badges and only a handful of challenges completed.
>>567988463You know the funny part is I know one of those posts was joking but you're so retarded I can't tell which one was (you)
>>567988369>most people who financially support the game play the endgameno, this is incorrect and has been repeatedly disproven. most players don't even play every league. stop lying it won't make anyone play D4. it's an absurd argument anyway because you are not talking to GGG here so there is no way for your "financial advice" pose to make any difference. you just want to try to make GGG seem out of touch with their playerbase when they clearly make decisions based on actual data from their own servers.
>>567988638>there is a large group of people who come back every league to playthrough the campaign for the weekendno there isn't lol
>>567988618The game would literally be in a more defensible state if 0.1 launched with just 1h swords, 2h swords, shields, staves, wands, and scepters. How the fuck do you release an ACTION RPG IN 2026 WITH NO FUCKING SWORDS.There are entire fully released and completed games where the only weapon type you have are swords, and all the different attacks and options are just using different swords and swinging them in different ways. What fucking retard decided that MACES AND QUARTERSTAFFS were what the game needed as its only melee weapons for OVER A FUCKING YEAR
>>567988531I don't even personally agree that poe1's endgame is the best part, and said as much here. >>567988462it's inherently wrong because it's a generalization. you are just telling yourself you are the majority when a majority doesn't ever socket a voidstone.

>>567988638>>567988696"the weekend" part is wrong. apparently the average campaign time is over 30 hours. but the people who want to infinitely run the same maps like in poe1 is a minority of the arpg playerbase.
>>567988696it's literally the bulk of the playerbase... >oh well no one likes doing challenges, they are way too grindy so that metric doesn't count. >well no, you can't use steam achievements, too many people only casually play the game and never make it to endgame. >yeah there is a massive drop in player numbers after the first weekend, but that is just people coming back to see the new mechanic and fuck around a bit in the campaign. ok?
>>567988681anon, if most players don't even play every league then where the fuck is the money coming from? Cmon man pay the smallest amount of fucking attention. You're attempting to suggest at the same fucking time, that the majority of players of this free-to-play game only play through a portion of the campaign and then quit, and that endgame players aren't financially supporting the game despite no-lifing it for weeks every league. So where did the money come from, why is GGG able to pump out leagues for both games? Are casual players who play the campaign for a few hours and quit the ones dropping money on stash tabs they'll never use, or skill effects for shit they won't ever unlock? Are you really that braindead? These are the players you think are shelling out for the max cost supporter packs with a map device they will literally never even encounter? Have some more respect for yourself

>>567989025>but the people who want to infinitely run the same maps like in poe1 is a minority of the arpg playerbase.riiight....that's why 0.4 as a league was so popular and successful by......letting people build and customize a single map and then run their temple over and over and over and over and over again, with people literally avoiding the shitty infinite atlas entirely and just farming campaign zones to get more temple runs faster since the random mapping was so unenjoyable......
>>567988681>no, this is incorrect and has been repeatedly disproven????????????>you are not talking to GGG here so there is no way for your "financial advice" They already know, why do you think their updates to the campaign are "added a strongbox with some flasks in it" and their updates to the endgame are "redid the whole atlas and all the scarabs again"

>>567988678funny, because I was the one who made the joke schizo
>>567988581>>567988956I thought the DPS seemed good but then again the build involved literally a level 35ish pounce, seems like a weird thing to target the minion rage notable
>>567989107whales lol, that's why they have a mtx shop that costs tens of thousands to buy out
>>567989072Only if your definition of the playerbase includes people who try the game one time and immediately drop it, in which case your definition is completely irrelevant to any discussion and you're probably extremely retarded
>>567989107dude why are you trying to get me to prove GGG's financial viability lmao? they're not reading your arguments.
>>567989240correlation is not causation. people didn't run vaal temple because it was fun.
>>567988392>blood and sand stances>swordsno swords are elemental ailment themed
>>567989335If you were really so raped in that gem discussion that you wanted out you could have just said so
>>567989370the definition of playerbase is people who play the game. literally every time ggg have given player metrics on a league it looks like>>567987857
>>567987236lol he gets paid to shill, retard. where have you been
>>567989174it's not actually that big a difference; 335 vs 553 and poo2's awful design has actually made it so in a year there's DOUBLE the number of Support Gems that PoE1 has, yet they're 95% worthless Damage on Tuesdays garbage.poo2 is literally just worse in every aspect in terms of skill design
>>567988392>he thinks there'll only be two stances
>>567989586>why yes, I am retarded thanks for askingokay
>>567988886He hanged himself after getting hyperbaited by Kelly's breach sword teaser..It's tragic..
ITS UPhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50v3BMaDIQk
>>567989240no no no you don't understand, we're back to pretending 0.4 completely flopped because the fact that temple was popular completely rapes the 2jeet narrative
>>567989581what discussion? one side pointed out that poe1 gem system leads to all builds playing the same, while the other said kept screeching about passive skills for some reason. that wasn't a discussion, that was a massacre of poe1 autists.
>>567989493you're right, saar. it was our JORB!!!!
>Twisters go go go!
>>567989276if GGG are already following your desires, you must think they're a great company! congrats! let's have some more of that positivity in your posts from now on pls
>historical revisionists pretending the temple wasn't absolutely hated
>>567989798wrong
>actually us poe2 shills hate the gamebold strategy
>>567989758>one side pointed out that poe1 gem system leads to all builds playing the same, while the other said kept screeching about passive skills for some reasonVery cruel of Johnathan to make ignite work like that when he knows his playerbase is illiterate
>>567989370I personally played poe1 most leagues since 2013 and would always get bored before red maps. I'm closer to being the median player than you.
>>567989859it was hated for 48 hours and then people realized it printed more divines than affliction and they loved it
>>567989685so why aren't all the poe1 players doing challenges, shouldn't a hardcore gaymer be cranking out challenges every league? i honestly never understood this weird "poe1 players are ALL giga hardcore gamers" shit, 90% of poe1 players are gamerdads and casual shitters.
>>567989972don't worry, the illiterates still have poe1
>>567989819Mirage was great, what are you even talking about retard
>>567989961thanks for fighting the poe2 shills by bumping the poe2 thread, that'll show em
>>567990012>48 hoursyou mean 2 weeks which is also when 80% of players quit
>>567990012>48 hoursyou mean 2 weeks, and then it was hated for a different reason.
>>567990026I already know you're retarded bro you don't have to convince me
>>567989493people don't play diablo-likes because it's fun.
>>567990046Interesting angle after squealing about having to 6 link a chest
>>567990026>so why aren't all the poe1 players doing challengesnta but there was always challenges discussion in threads before and during a league. generally its a popular feature and it should increase poe2 player sustain this league finally having it in. personally it doesn't interest me but "do think on checklist" is also popular with gamer dads.
>>567974601You swap out of being smith after you have great gear and go titan instead.
>>567990012Lol. I quit that league the nanosecond I hit maps because the mechanic had such shit UI and QoL.
>>567990012No, I hated it more, because it made a shitty economy magnitudes worse and made doing any other content pointless. But if you wanted to do the temple, you needed to spend a lot of time setting it up in the first place. 0.4 has the worst retention of all POE2 patches.
>>567990026Challenges haven't even been hard since like what, sanctum? Tota?Back in my day 36 challenge quitters didn't get to run off with the full MTX suite and the last couple challenges were aids
>>567989805I want to have kids with Vivian
>>567990012one reason GGG didn't nerf coc this league might be that without temple it isn't going to be as meaningful to run it.
>>567990293intersting angle after 6-links were made more common than chaos orbs over time
>>567990091yeah dude!! having a part of your map be copy-pasted onto your map with a loot multiplier on it is sooo fuvrkin coooool!! ggg has done it again!!!
I just bought the game. Is the combat always going to be this slow? I tried Werebear and Mercenary and it's such a slog.
>>567990957Unironically yes.What would you prefer? The temple? lol
>>567990957>this league we're going to give you more of what you enjoyyea it was pretty fucking cool. sorry about your shit game, twopooper.
>>567991128thanks for financing the game, lil guppie
>>567991128No it gets faster and faster as you get more powerful. More levels better gear
>>567990918mana and life recovery got nerfed hard, comet ontop of that also had its damage reduced a bit
>>567991128
>>567990221gambling addicts do not have fun. people didn't run temple because it was so fun to run. they ran it because it printed currency. those same people would literally stand still for 10 hours while spinning their character if it printed currency. it feels wrong to call these creatures people at all.
>>567991128hahahahahaha
>>567960337Any ounce of respect i had for poo 1 players just went out the window. They can't play the game if they can see the screen, apparently.
>>567991169>>567991225not beating the cookie clicker allegations

>>567991228And I thought Grim Dawn was slow, jesus christ
RETARD!
>>567991231also ES. also GGG clearly care just as much about how long it takes something to come online, as how OP it is once you have it.
>>567991246setting up the temple was fun, meta progression and delayed gratification is a winning combination in an arpg.
>>567991230It's gonna be free once 1.0 hits, right? I might just wait to play it until then.
>>567991394It's not my fault that the game is in such a good state that they can release more of the same to uproarious applauseUnlike Poe2 sprint button boogaloo where the endgame is so trashed they shoved all of you into atziri's gooncave
>>567991562setting up the temple was fun, yes. running it was pure torture.
>>567991616yes do that
>>567991510i meant life/mana as those are used to actually PAY for the COC spam, if its harder to recover through leech nerfs, how does that NOT affect COC?
>>567991616You can wait if you want, wont change what i said
>>567991246>those same people would literally stand still for 10 hours while spinning their character if it printed currencykekalso you can't expect GGG to balance the game with these people in mind, because they inherently do not care what build they are using or anything about the gameplay itself.
>>5679651849,000 jamboys working on the game and this is the best they can come up with?
>>567991732it does, and it will affect how much gear you'll need to do CoC zoom zoom. so even if it still basically looks the same it won't be as much of a problem.
>>567991413>hell yeah machine gunner, I unironically love equipping the crossbow on different classes and run like a tacticool marine thr->staff>video instantly closed>opened again to downvote and report to youtube for spam>closed againenjoy those 2 views of me while you can, scumbag
>>567991416I'll never forget watching a diablo 2 streamer try 0.1 and say "I think this is the weakest and slowest I've ever felt in an ARPG"
>>567991647thanks for confirming that the only thing that matters to poo1tards is having their line go up, how about we cut a deal, no more poe1 EOS, youll get a 1.3x loot every league going forward, but the devs move onto the poe2 team full timeno more brother wars:)
>>567991754remember when they nerfed the divine allflame because reddit turned the map device into a slot machine? opening and closing thousands of t1 maps hoping for the div allflame lol
>>567967878Because witch summoner is peak kino based MOG
I'm not the type of nigga you wanna mess with...
>>567991912not nerfing COC directly is fine in my books since the problem was the recovery of resources part
>>567967878WH got away with the lightest slap on the wrist possible, why would i play cringe-monk
>>567992013>What was so good about mirage?>You got to play more of any mechanic you like>NOOOOO THIS IS AWAKENED MIRROR SLOPBrokenI can't wait to watch all of these posts evaporate when they release ruthless, just like they did in poe1
>>567991970>that D2 streamer's preferred arpg gameplay:https://youtu.be/8KerjxwWW3s?si=1oRc_A19Oa28okEP&t=75
>>567992357i accept your concession
>>567992013Literally the best state conqueror invitation farming has ever been in, you're telling on yourself
>>567992357if they aren't buffing monster damage and accuracy to compensate for the EV/AR base type buff, I will probably end up playing poe2 ruthless instead.
>>567992563not sure how thats relevant to what ive said, but i understand that reading and comprehending what you read at the same time is no easy task for some of us
>>567992414It was the same dude who did a hardcore dagger barb playthrough you're raped
>>567991741Yeah but I won't feel like I wasted my money.
>>567992667unless I've been gaslit by people and don't remember, think they said they are?
>>567992742he's dumb for wanting to do completely repetitive things thousands of times and gaming companies should not enable him.
>>567992742You're simping for some tranny playing a 30 year old game.
>nerf every build of the weak despite half of them needing 20 Brazillion divs in investmentWhy?
>>567992828it was implied, but this is an endgame rework patch so they might also just want to make the campaign easier so more players reach endgame. I wouldn't completely put it past them if it really is taking normies over 30 hours to complete the campaign.
game is so dead that we might be hitting 1k posts in the thread
>>567993013>build of the weakbased self-reporter
>>567991616you already bought it. why would it being free later matter.
>>567993050evasion is a shit defense in campaign if they can somehow smooth the curve so that's fine with meobviously one doesn't want to make it too much stronger at endgame so long as es builds continue to tap it
>>567992741>stop talking about how mirage revived tons of alternative atlas strategies to pack size and strongbox autismNo
POOP
>>567993258I want pure evasion to be viable. Hopefully with the deflect changes you'll be able to get a reasonable amount. Still feels like a gamble in lmao 1 portal the game.
>>567993269thats great, sweetie, enjoy your loot multi:)
>>567992859>>567992947Not an argument
>>567993258>>567993334with ward + deflect + more EV (+ freeze and chill) we should be alright.t. did pure EV even in 0.1 and 0.2 when it was suicidal.
>>567993334skill issue
>>567993440no wonder you people got filtered by chromatic orbs
>>567993714>>567993714>>567993714>>567993714
>>567989515ohr they did nort pay you? poor khajarait bastard
>>567993624evasion didn't use to evade slams. you could run round a corner and get shotgunned by a bunch of act 3 tribesmen with hammers, it was another shoah
>>567993334I ran amazon's stalking panther with kaom's last league with hyper investment into evasion/deflectit was fine, still a bit costly given I'm sacrificing body slot and spirit but it definitely was very tanky, but deflect is just so expensive to invest into for what it gives prior to 0.5I believe with spiritwalker pure eva/deflect should be quite strong, maybe not as strong as amazon stalking panther + es chest or unique chest, but you'll be able to divert 23% of the incoming damage to that bear (even more with high corrupt starkonja, ~37-39%?), and we should be reaching extremely high chance of deflect at 46-49%, so even low life builds should feel very tankystill who knows whether the bear can stay alive, may need to brutus brain it if that works, I can't recall cause last I used it was in 0.3, bear also does intimidate
>>567992031a lot of their mechanics end up like that. in mirage league people burned through thousands of white t16 maps just to sprint to the mirage and see if it had a coin or big black barya wish
>>567993998clarification, I mean builds with low amounts of life and not LOW life buildsalso yeah, ward is great too to prevent that one shot when deflect fails
>>567994223Unless including a chest it seems extremely difficult to get ward and a decent amount of Evasion and deflect
androgynous model melty
>>567994729the goal is to have any ward at allwe'll have to see how hard it is, but my understanding is as long as you have any ward you survive a one shot right?
1k or bust lets go
>>567991413why did he ai slop the chrono art ffs stop with this shit
567986398what in the nigger fucking hell are you talking about nigger
>>567987458checkmate atheist
>>567988805whats up with u larp niggas. what is so important about a sword (class) being released asap?
