It's much more tolerable in poo1 where you can zip through the thing in an hour or so and sort of turn it into a time attack. The poo2 campaign experience has so much RP slop that it just feels like you're doing a normal playthrough of a game with cheat engine running.

Wyvern also gets ES recharge delay improvements which is pretty nice. Werewolf is a meme and most people can admit that were it not for Pounce being the only movement skill in the game and the out-of-combat movespeed (important here) Werewolf would be borderline unusable because it's just good and safe speedrunning. 30% MS is roughly the same as the sprint bonus (35). Werewolf should probably be changed to recoup or some sort of damage dodge or life leech

It might be in one of these bank files but I'm not sure which. You can find them in the FMOD folder for the game and deleting them will remove the audio.
I deleted the elemental conflux bank file and now I never hear the sound anymore. It was really annoying me in hideout so I'd disable it and then forget to re-enable it in maps. I figured I'd just get rid of the sound altogether. Big patches might reinstall the file though

Build makers are retards in 2 but also some builds are meant for only a certain demographic of player, like a lot of top end buildmakers expect you to sack defences anytime they mention clearing on a budget is that you spend 60% of your budget on a weapon and your amulet for as many levels as you can manage, even on blue gear, and that your defences are mostly irrelevant to the build since

PoE2 has some of the most retarded players I've ever seen. Every youtumor "build" is just Skill gem part A + Skill gem part B presented like it's some obscure tech they discovered and then scaled in the most inefficient way possible. 1/2 the people on ninja have interactions slotted that just straight up do not fucking work. Yeah, all those gems that specify "skills you use yourself" are going to work wonders on that trigger set up, good thing all of them RMT so they can't tell 1/2 their build is bricked through the HH and 1000d worth of crit gear
>>
>>570540823
Madam Herta...
>>
was the 9k or just over 5k hit accurate for that executioner slam?
>>
>>570545187
To be fair the game doesn't expect or want you to be tanking slams even on armor. Armor is good at small hits that are between 100 to 500 since 20k armor and damage taken as is pretty accessible for armor dudes or there's a bunch of insane effects you can try leveraging like
>Sorc Ward
>Armor Deflect and Double Armor
>Damage taken as + Max Res + Armor to Ele
>Less Ele damage taken
It's survivable for most armor characters with how many mechanics they have to increase their max hit, even if you have to go out of your way to be tankier against those sorts of hits. 50K armor is pretty hard to get also, I expect your average build is capping at 30k-ish since top chests are around 2k armor, so you'll be taking a pretty large part of the hit still but with some conversion your character can live through it. Yeah it isn't full armor and armor stacking in the game I think is rather bad at the moment but the potential is there
>>
>>570546142
Jungroan and Dreamcore are at least still pushing the envelope for funny interactions or relatively hidden gimmicks for scaling. Yeah, everything compared to crit or more triggers is pretty mediocre at best but it presents an alternative avenue
>>570546603
5K, if you do the math yourself the 330% attack damage is made using the 230% more damage from the skill description. So, assuming max hit
>1400 multiplied by 3.3
>4.6k phys hit on the higher end, 3k on the lower end
Still need a shit ton of armor to drop it into something you can survive

I did the build from the troon for Varashta, spent about 100 div on it and it's fucking annoying to play with the bugged Archon of Death interaction when you have Kelari's at 0 charges.
Strong yes, but quite clunky. I went back to my monk and should do spirit walker next.

yeah it's a 300% increased crit modifier on top of his base 25% flat crit chance

Just realized not only are ES builds still super tanky, they get to take advantage of all those crazy low life bonuses without much risk for fraudulent amounts of damage. Very insane balancing I'd say but this is basically stuck this way already. Maybe when axes or swords come out we'll get get another defensive reservation for melee builds like petrified blood
>>
>>570547560
why do controllerfags get such a kino inventory screen
>>
>>570548443
There's many contributing factors to the problem.
Its also that f l a v o r balancing means that armor has that "hidden" move speed penalty, and f l a v o r balancing means the bottom right gets increased damage and attack speed, while bottom left gives increased damage and REDUCED attack speed.
This would actually be totally fine if jonathon would pull his head out of his ass and let you scale damage with reduced attack speed, but it looks like he genuinely looked at mace players slowly swinging their mace at a white mob twice and went "oh yeah, that's weighty as HECK love it okay now onto bows which should be faster and super high DPS but in return they have to play a w*man".

Its that its treated as a penalty you need to invest into attack speed to circumvent instead of something you lean into. I want to take reduced attack speed to make my hits bigger.

Can you make the "hold this button to swap bind sets" also activate weapon set 2?
I have to do a bit of juggling to swap to weapon set 2 since my banners are on weapon set 2 and unlike most skills those don't auto swap.
This is mostly fine on mouse and keyboard, but this feels really obnoxious on controller. Feels like I'm playing nioh 2 and having to stance flux.

Love how all the streamers are like "you can do whatever!!" and how straightforward 2 is compared to 1 so that even noobs can succeed and do endgame no problem. Meanwhile my builds can't even handle yellow maps.

>>570549631
lmao you're not gonna believe this
there is a hotkey to swap weapon sets, but also you can just assign the banner placement skill to "only use this skill with weapon set 2" and it's always available
I just tested it with WASD controls and wow, I can't believe what a pain in the ass it is in comparison

No, streamers are lying and skill balance is worse than even the worst point of PoE1
t. tried levelling with arc + lightning bolt, switched to plants + bonestorm and did literally 10x dps (both tooltip dps and actually killed bosses and packs 10x faster)
>>
>>570551524
>only use this skill with weapon set 2
Huh? That's what I'm doing and it doesn't work if the banner's not enabled on weapon set 1. When its disabled it can't trigger the swap to set 2 so you have to manually swap.
What you're talking about works 99% of the time but not when its a skill provided by a spirit reservation.
Of course this is the kind of thing if you complained to GGG they'd go "oh! we've fixed it by making it so that skills can't gain charges/conditions while not on the weapon set :) you're welcome :)"
