comparison is the thief of joy
Whoah mama, bought this bad boy off the gamble!What's the 'best' way I can try to make sure I get + spirit on it?
>>571706527Only when you are a brokie. If you're rich - it's pretty enjoyable to compare.
tfw need sunglasses to play my character
>>571706651lolyou're new to amulet crafting aren't you?well if you just need spirit you can desecrate and omen of light until it hits
>>571706730Yeah I'm a complete fucking idiot.
>>571706827In general, regal, if it hits something fine, desecrate prefix then fracture before revealing and hope it hits +minion levelsif it doesn't just hop the desecrate hits prefix, if it does hit minions you can chaos spam for spirit (assuming it's worth it)it'll get quite expensive though
>>571706730>>571706827Wait, does it come from desecrate? If I'm reading this right, it's a 'normal' suffix so you can't get it by desecrating..?
>>571706827sorry rushed out the middle of that, Hope the desecration hits spirit is what I mean, you basically want to check if you can fracture minions (if it's worth it to you), if that wins you can annul down and chaos spam for spirit, if it fails you're just desecrating and hoping the desecration lands
How do I craft a mace like this? preferably with higher +phys. doesnt have to have that exact fracture as long as I can still get the stats
>>571706951u can get any 'normal' affix + any of the desecrate affix depending on which affix u desecrate, newsis
>>571707228Ohh.. So if I, let's say, use an omen to make sure I desecrate only a suffix, I can possibly get any suffix + the exclusive desecrate suffixes?
>>571706951>>571707228infact paste that item into craftofexile and try it forurself
>>571706951Desecration can give you any normal modifier on top of the special desecration modifiers, you can guarantee a special modifier by using the omen of the liege, etc etc, but don't do that since you're aiming for spirit and that only hurts your chanceshighly recommend using ancient collarbone if you're on trade + echoes, it should cull the modpool decently>>571707121similar process to what I just told the other guy but instead you're looking for +5 skills or merciless, preferably on an i82 exceptional if you're bothering to go this hard to begin withIf you see +5 melee skills, get it to 3 mods and desecrate, hope you win the 1/3 then chaos spam for merciless (or vice versa if you come across merciless before +5 skills)whichever you fracture for is way easier to work on using whittles and what not, i.e. if you hit skills then you'll have an easier time working on the suffixes of course>>571707305yea
why is poe2 crafting looks fucking retarded

>he is a jingakh
Was cleaning out some old folders enjoy my speculation image from 3 years ago lol
>>571706527sin is the thief of virtue
innocence is the thief of ...
>>571708309my time
what the fuck why is every item is so expensive.... being a poorfag sucks
hot anime girls are the thieves of my cum>>571708574just play SSF, everything is free off the ground
What do i play in Phrecia bros?Wildspeaker SRSVaal Cyclone + Chaos Bloodline + Anything i guessWhats something memey?
Its always so weird going back to poe1 after a poe2 league. Even just the second of >huh why is my wasd not working trips me up. and then everything is graphically similar but just different enough that it looks weird.
cringe
Do Upwelling I + Upwelling II stack if they're slotted into two different activated skills?
i've been playing this game for roughly half a year now. when the fuck am i getting a mirror?
I don't think I could go back to PoE1. WASD/stick movement is too nice, and gambling for socket links/colouration was hateful at the best of times.
look at this
>>571710292Good fucking riddance
>>571710272>half a yearit took me more than 4 years to get a raw mirror drop my guild leader took 6 years
>>571710272lol
>>571710456>my guild leader
>spend 10 minutes watching crafting video>craft anything over 81 >suddenly I have 500+ divThis is so fucking easy.Crafters are gouging the fuck out of these prices. I'm making hundreds a day scamming retards.
>>571710703And that tubdweller's name?Albert Woodfulstein.
>>571710456>my leaderyikes
>>571710272Most people will never see a raw mirror drop. (and thats a good thing)
God I fucking hate pootoo weapon swappingI just want one set of skills on m1 and m2 for clear and one set for single targetSwapping 2 supports doubles my single target dps and I have to manually do that instead of having it ready in a weapon swap the way pooone does itDo I have to feel the weight of switching support gems instead of using the mechanic specifically made for this exact purpose?
is this refund affix decently sought after or shall I just take the es?
>>571712012can't you just slot a second copy of the skill with the single target setup?
>>571712029I think the refund is way lower value than the ES mod. I'm not much of a marketfag tho, I might be totally wrong.
>>571712029I mean ES is king.
>>571710448Enjoy your carpal tunnel and arthritis pains, I guess.
>>571712658>he doesnt know
>>571712029as a coc comet build, the refund is kind of neat, but I would much rather have es
Having more than 2 spells on my totems is probably just overkill, isn't it?
>>571712278Would that give me a convenient way to switch that second copy of the skill onto the same keybind as the first like the pooone swap does?No, because the game is gay and retarded
>>571712278No, you're literally not allowed to have two of the same skill gem no matter whatYou want one bouncy arc that clears packs with 3 projectiles and 20 chains, and one arc you shoot at a boss to kill them? NO. FUCK YOU. GET IN THE TUB AND DO MY COMBOS.
>>571707959I am a jingakh
>>571713926there's no point
>>571714639World first replying to the ritual poster.
>>571714639Could have been worse. You could have been a pakarui
Now that we are this late into the league and all the FOTM doomsissies are gone, what are YOUR thoughts on this league.
>>571716283the game is still shit and not fun
>>571716283endgame is way better than before, reached 95 and not bored yet, previous leagues I'd get bored before 90
>expedition endgame quest>back in destroyed kingsmarch>bleak, depressing atmosphere>a husband looking for his wife>wow, I actually like this>go on quest for husband>wife's probably dead or something>find island with a boss>the wife's there>there are no problems at all, she's just adventuring completely alone, typical woman/wife stuff, upbeat and bossy, yadda yaddawow. every time the game seems to take on an interesting tone, it completely shatters it just moments later.like exploring the deepest darkest black chambers of the vaal only to fight dr. robotnik at the end. or when they finally give you more snippets of atziri's personality, only to then go full homelander on her when you defeat her>PLEASE BEAST I'LL SUCK YOUR DICK I'LL EAT YOUR SHIThalf the writers need to be fired from this company.
>>571716487ww fuck beasts what'd you expect
>>571716283+ New items and runes+ New ascendancies (neither are my cup of tea but they're clearly a success)+ New approach to boss fight being epic and having a narrative (hit or miss in some aspects though)+/- I sorta kinda like having direction in the endgame, but also not really- - - stupidly buggy and untested launch- no new skills to play with, most of the rune skills are either memes, OP nonsense, or reskinned normal skills; game needs more skills badly- atlas/league mechanic atlas progression feels needlessly grindy, and the atlas tree is overall not fun to engage with- the game feels too easy and like it taps out very early; I get the arguments for removing uber bosses and making some content more accessible, but the game needs way more difficulty scaling, at least optional if not mandatory for progressionI've been trying to come up with something cool to reroll for weeks now and I just can't land on anything. I would've played this league 10x more if there was just a single new class instead of anything else new that they added.I know I robbed myself of some fun by playing OP bullshit and finishing the progression early, but it feels like I didn't really have much choice, as someone who already played every patch since 0.1 and tried loads of meme builds. There's just nothing to play man.
>>571716283I like the new endgame but I still don't really like the base game.
>>571716580I expect one of the most cruel, powerful and prideful queens to get defeated while screaming in pure anger and hatred, and not begging and whining. fuck that tone-deaf shit.
Cringe
>>571716487>like exploring the deepest darkest black chambers of the vaal only to fight dr. robotnik at the endthis is literally the coolest shit ever and you should kill yourself for disliking it.I don't even disagree on writing being hit or miss, but you're so wrong to hate on Doryani's mecha.
>>571716636lots of skills are in a weird spot where they are either completely broken or completely worthless.I'm genuinely surprised it's been this long with mace being worthless dogshit for almost 2 years despite being the only melee weapon that fits the fantasy warrior theme, you'd think they'd atleast add another melee weapon like axe/sword while they figure out how to go forward with mace.
>GTA 6 Nov 19thWhen do you think they will release PoE 2 then? Dec 18th seems likely.
>>571716283still a buggy mess but the new endgame saved it, I haven't felt the desire to log in past week 1 until this league
I'm retarded, how do you filter forbidden flame and flesh jewels. I swear I did it before.
>>571717170search "dden flesh" or "dden flame" in the stats filters then pick the one you want.Or go to requirements and set the class you wanna look at.
>>571716283I like the end game. Balance issues and game is still buggy as hell. Still enjoyed campaign.
>mandatory Prism Of Belief>mandatory Heart of the Well>mandatory From Nothing>mandatory Megalo>barely any jewel socket on the tree anymoreWhy aren't my uber cracked crafted rare jewels selling?
>>571716283post-campaign are great but still a padding for the dreadful nothingness of the actual endgamecrafting is shitnew gemling is fun too bad it will be nuked to the groundmodded unique monsters as a companion is a mistake
POOP
>>571716991when doryani started to float with his little stone tablet like some 2d arcade shooter boss, it got a laugh out of me, but it completely destroyed any sense of drama and mystery the game built up to that point. you are, for the first time, witnessing the entire horrifying truth about the vaal, and the terrifying things they dream up using literal souls and corruption: a stone robot that slightly larger than the other stone robots you fought before.
>>571716283i like that there is section parts to each league like you farm to then create a mechanical biome to then fight/farm a mini boss to then fight the pinnacle for each league mechanic more uniques and uniques currency needs to drop from league mechanics need to be made and dropped e.g. heart of the well and essence of breach/abyssi do wonder if ubers are the right route because it would just inflate the market further but i think its somewhat needed for players that play this late into leagues for maybe higher tier drops and exceptional items for crafting maybe? no new unique items or currency as it would cut builds off from dropsggg needs to find a way to make the travel nodes to these things more fun, maybe the best way is to stack 3-4 of those special fortress node mods on these specifically so you can enjoy those inbetween the breach biomes or ritual etc and then its back 1 each for these league mechanic biomes so it evens outmore meteor shit happening on the atlas have it change over time as you map tell a story world ending shithave maven and her feet show up in a spaceship nuking half of wraeclast its going to be kino the shit ggg comes up with the meteor from expedition is only a teaser for what they will create 8/10 for me 1.0 is going to be kino
>>571716283The game is a lot better, but it still needs a lot more league mechanics. We've been playing the same leagues for a year at least now at this point. Rogue Exiles are complete dogshit and the most annoying thing I've ever encountered in an ARPG. I think GGG tested them playing Twister and minions and thought it was okay and looked like a cool concept. The game still needs more speed scaling and slapping a 500+ div bandaid on things isn't right nor sensible. Overall I'd give the game in its current state an 8.5.
>>571718097>more uniques and uniques currency needs to drop from league mechanics*interacting with one another and droppedrogue exiles should drop runic gear in expedition areasbreach crafted items if you kill them in a breach omens or uniques if you kill them in ritualspecial unique jewels thats just rogue exiles for example
>>571718097None of the atlas stuff means a thing to me. It's just an obstacle I have to overcome to get into my next map. I get what GGG is going for, but I just don't care. Biomes are dogshit and cities are fucking stupid, too. They need to quit doubling-down on this. It's not interesting and just feels like mandatory busywork. The atlas tree is suffering so badly because half the nodes are dedicated to this dogshit.
BAZONKERS
>>571718085It's ok we can't all have good taste I guess.
>>571718242poe1's atlas is dogshit to me in comparison
>>571718343I prefer functionality over looks and some dev trip about tangibility.
What's going on here? Why can't I play any other npc? They're all dismissed.
>>571718510exit and re-enter the area, it's a bug
>>571716876she's a MANIPULATIVE WHORE who is a massive powerdigger
>>571718456poe1 is there for you then, i get bored very quickly with poe's atlas its just repeating the most efficient farming map for your league mechanic thats it, for poe2 it does feel random and that you are exploring new areas because of this randomisation and aesthetic look to it, do i wish it looked more 1980s ai dark fantasy insert image to the atlas 100% yes it looks like super mario atm but that can come later
>>571718565Kek, that was it, doryani found his spot.
>>571718456nta but I hated having to reset the atlas whenever i wanted to try different leagues or combos especially with how many points you had to reset it was very costly and without their associated points running those other leagues was not worth it.>but they added more loadouts to switch between!it still wasn't remotely enough for all the combinations you could play with. havent played the last 2 leagues tho so i dont know if that changed since.
>>571718265what you consider good taste is just appreciation of campiness. things can be cool but completely out of place at the same time. what I'm talking about here is a pattern in the writing that manifested itself during act 3 and continued from there. compare the overall tone of act1+2 to act3+4 for example. the game tone goes from serious and depressing to light-hearted and quippy. it's becomes completely tone-deaf to its own story.
>>571718936I said it before, I don't even disagree about the quality of writing being hit or miss.I don't think Doryani's Triumph undermines it in any way and it's crazy to me that you do. It's like saying the toppings make a pizza worse.And before anyone goes>hurr durr food analogyyes, food analogy, everyone needs to eat and everyone understands them because of that.
What melee build is most fun? I want to do a fresh SSF run and I refuse to play whirling assault or shield wall because those aren't fun to me.
>>571717301Cam i not filter by granted notable?
>>571719243those are the only two good melee skills.maybe rampage bear titan I guess.
>>571719121I'm not saying toppings make a pizza worse. I'm saying that I'm sitting down in the blood&gore meat factory restaurant or unspeakable horros and then they serve me a giant chocolate birthday cake with extra ice cream.
>>571719243my first melee build was leap slam and I had so much fun that I kept playing the char to 97
>Why yes, I play slams! How did you tell?>I also enjoy manly products like tabacco and whiskey
>>571719405the situation is serious, doryani is serious, his lines are seriousis the spidermech really throwing you out of it any more than the flying vaal pyramid from poe1 temple
>>571719243Rake/blood hunt is fine. It might have copped some balancing since I played it though so idk.
do breachlords dream of it that sheep
>>571719603the vaal construct from poe1 was an ancient, strange mechanism that didn't speak and only made mechanic hissing noises that sounded a little like screams.doryani is literally a good guy who fights you with his cartoonish mecha. the writers didn't even try to present the player with something otherworldly like the shape-shifting count or the floating king. it fits perfectly into a power ranger episode, but not as an important act boss that should represent the peak of the horrors of the vaal.
>>571719315Well you can, like I said, search "dden flesh/flame" https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Mirage/Yp9vZ60kiYJust open this and press show filters.>>571719405I dunno what to tell you, it works amazingly for me, and it fits perfectly with the tone of the game.>>571719603And the music is super self-serious. That just makes it better for me. You have these dramatic strings playing while a sacrifice-powered robot is trying to smash your head in and Doryani is flying around like Neo Cortex or something. That fight kicks so much ass, I only wish he actually did damage before citadels.>>571719928>was an ancient, strange mechanismthat also looked goofy as fuck btw.> the writers didn't even try to present the player with something otherworldly like the shape-shifting count or the floating kingBecause that's not what Doryani is. He's not an eldritch horror. He's just a nerd technocrat, which is horrific in its own right. It all fits perfectly.
>>571719657I tired to level with this and it made me suicidal it does no fucking damage.
>>571719243Wolf and Wyvern are the only fun melee builds. Everyone agrees with me on this.
>>571720583Primal strikes is pretty fun imoBut shocking everything can be annoying
>>571720583wtf what kind of cat is that?
>>571720583>have to manage p*wer chargeswyvern is NOT fun
>>571720676Hmmmm can you do a spirit walker primal striker? (no monkey) and maybe transition into ritualist later? This sounds kinda fun.
>>571720827Just start with Ritualist, free headhunter is great.Spirit walker doesn't have that much going for it for primal strikes imo, benefits projectiles and companions more than anything else.
>>571720823*snickers in Sacrifice*
>>571720583I don't like wolf and wyvern is effective but not does not spark joy.
>>571720683One that I wish existed.
>>571720827Just start ritualist probably and learn how to shock without companions.Amazon is also an option though
>>571721021if it doesn't exist, then where did that video come from?
>>571720952>Spirit walker doesn't have that much going for it for primal strikes imoReally? Stags for the shocks and then using sacred unity for some general buffs.https://poe2db.tw/us/Sacred_Unity#And the "soaring ground" part of this sounds pretty useful for primal strikes? Maybe it's clunky to use but it does sound good and fun.
>>571721002>having to spend 90 spirit to solve the p*wer charge issueThat just makes my point even stronger
is this any good
>>571721098I have to do the thing that makes me feel like a special snowflake! I need to Quinmaxx if anyone else is playing my exact build I can't have fun.
>>571721251>Stags for the shocks and then using sacred unity for some general buffs.I mean ok I see stags and I see the bear tank, but that's 2 ascendancy points and the rest don't do much.Where's the soaring ground proj supposed to come from? I guess you can throw Lighthning Spear, but if you're already throwing LS, you can shock with that and you don't need the stags as much.Not saying it's physically impossible to do it, the game's easy you can do whatever, just isn't really as synergetic as ritualists' pure, unambiguous power nodes.
we need heralds for minions i wanted to run ash but it doesnt work with kelari or ice with nevari
>>571721251"Soaring Ground grants 30% increased Evasion Rating, 40% increased damage while on Full Life, and Onslaught to you or Allies standing on it. These effects Linger for 1 second.">40% increased damage while on Full LifeBut why? Literally why require you to be on full life? What interesting gameplay is this creating other than spam flasks to make sure you are doing max damage?
>>571721402yet you post basic instawhorescurious!
>>571719243Martial artist carries any attack build, you can slot whatever the fuck you want and just let raw stats carry you.You can just use an unlinked basic attack with a herald and clear all content with ease because rune tattoos fix all your resists and gloves + talisman buff swap gives you 100+ damage as extra and a second chest slot worth of es/evasion.
>>571721543Gravebind. Probably not worth it tho.
>>571721537>Where's the soaring ground proj supposed to come from?I mean I can probably find a skill to just use only for generating the ground right? This part you just kinda have to playtest I guess.I'm sure ritualist is stronger obviously but since im doing SSF I feel like this should be stronger out of the box before I have good rings?
>>571721547Just go CI and its always full
>>571721402Shocking without companions IS the visionary gameplay. Spiritwalker companions to solve every need your build needs to function mechanically is the exact opposite of what that guy would advocate.Ritualist and Amazon are both honest, you just have to build a bit differently for each ascendancy. Amazon probably lives better
>>571721710does that glove jewel rune work on uniques?
>>571721352No, manastack attacker is a very rare archetype that requires extreme investment, and at that point they would either be using triple t1 flat breach rings or mnemonic manastack rings instead.
We should have a pirate class, sword and cannon, harrrr!
>>571721565>Martial artist carries any attack build, you can slot whatever the fuck you want and just let raw stats carry you.At that point I would rather not even play the game. Part of the fun of poe for me is being creative with the tools it gives you. Not just picking overstatted character that is juiced t15 viable upon ascension.
>>571721715>I mean I can probably find a skill to just use only for generating the ground right?I mean yeah, I'm just pointing out that you're not getting anything automated really. You're pressing a button to shock either way.But don't let me discourage you. The stags are funny and you should play with them at least a little bit.>I'm sure ritualist is stronger obviously but since im doing SSF I feel like this should be stronger out of the box before I have good rings?The headhunter (Ritual Sacrifice) node is insanely powerful because it lasts a very long time. It's a free headhunter that you have to occasionally slow down for, but that lets you skip bad effects like shadewalker. This absolutely kicks ass on SSF cuz you can walk into a boss room with a full stack of buffs.As for rings, having 3 rings is an extra boon on SSF cuz it means you'll cover your various stat requirements (attributes, res, added damage, life, mana, rarity etc) so much more easily than someone who only has 2 slots to work with.There's a misconception in /poeg/ that Ritualist is an endgame-only ascendancy. Ritualist is a monster starter, because it comes with unconditional, no bullshit POWER. A free headhunter and an extra ring are unbelievable boons when your gear is shit.
>>571721990MA also has the most tools for attack based classes. If you really want to be special snowflake you can take a bunch of the proc and combo nodes instead, and be one of the only MA's that doesn't take runes + stonefists.
>>571721752CI cucks win again...
>mindlessly clearing map>get to the final part of abyss>keep spamming skills"hang on, is that a fart cloud, I pull the mob out of it, right?"ez 8 divs babyGot myself a new staff, now I have 50% to fire an extra spell projectile, gained like 10% dps overall as well. Nice.
>>571721838ty for the answer
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuZ7XkN-OR4
>>571722156FUCK YOU.
>>571722086For me I do not enjoy this idea of selfcucking your build by not taking a good node JUST to be special. I cannot mentally sit there knowing that if I took the other notable on my ascension I'm just stronger without having to change anything.>>571722060>You're pressing a button to shock either way.But don't let me discourage you.The stags will be shocking mobs automatically for me no?
>>571722339I've found 2 in total now, just git gud, anon.
>>571722587Not really... you still need to scale the stags for them to reliably shock
>>571722587>The stags will be shocking mobs automatically for me no?Yes but I mean in regard to soaring ground>build with no spirit walker: has to throw out LS, then primal strikes>build with spirit walker: has to throw out LS to get soaring ground, gets free shock from stag but still had to throw LS to proc the projectile thingThough again, just try it if you're curious. I'm just saying the synergies aren't crazy ultimately.
>>571722156Is this the dumbest mechanic ever? What if my build is actually good and I just one shot the guy when he spawns?
>>571722785you can't damage it if it's in the circle and you're outside it
>>571722587The only class more interesting in build potential than MA is gemling, and that's more focused on caster tools.The nodes nobody takes on MA are extremely powerful and build enabling, combo off every hit enabling 1 button charge generation, bells for cull/stun activation, and trigger looping bells enables a lot of autobomber shit.Also stonefists are even more fun, you can play stuff like self poison, infinite ward regen, self curse, etc. Picking any other class for attacks is going to feel awful because 90% of the new fun things they added in the game are gated behind gemling alt quality or MA fists of stone uniques.
>>571722747Well if all the branching proj off a single lightning spear benefit from the mhach feathers, spiritwalker does probably go decently hard with LS particularly once you get olroth's conviction At that point the rest of the kit isn't useless, though I imagine stags might leave a bit to be desired but we are straying from primal strikes
>>571722747I mean at worst it's a two button build...? Kinda just have to play test it to see what skill is best for soaring ground generation and if theres any special interactions to make it smooth. I can maybe just use a weapon swap setup of some kind for it.
>>571716348when will you finally figure out that the game was not made for you (and will never be) instead of wasting time by typing the exact same posts every time
>>571722965>though I imagine stags might leave a bit to be desiredfully specced stags are pretty good.>>571723061again, I just think there isn't any crazy, transformative synergy in there (like with say, gemling), and I would PERSONALLY just go Ritualist right away.
>>571723176I will just use Ritualist as my fallback option if spiritwalker ends up not working out so good. It feels like it has pretty potent potential though so I wanna try it out and I'm not looking to just bulldoze the game anyway as I have already completed all the challenges and stuff.
>game bugs out and won't let me cast walking calamity>just permanently stuck at 0.00 seconds for buffI think I'm done playing shaman. This feels worse than warrior.
Btw is primal strikes at all leveling viable or do I just twister until maps lmao
>>571723518It's an ok single target skill, a little weird for clear imo since you need to do multiple attacks.
why is crafting such a tedious and random process in poe2? it's so fucking dogshit, and ten times worse in ssf
Biggest issue with the game right now is that it's so fucking unbalanced, the gap between weak and strong stuff is just ridiculous right now.
>>571723081The game has changed a lot since 0.1 and will change even more, buddy boy. Complaining absolutely works LMAO
>>571724207the gap is easily closed with hh/mageblood and a few hundred divs :^)
I work from home on Friday when the league starts,Odds I play during work hoursEvens, I be a good boy and finish my deliverables.
>>571721543Herald of Blood already works just fine when your monke and other minions get their kills from bleeds
>>571724261devilish
I love crafting, but this shit is cancer.There is so many hidden mechanics not explained ingame. Like how do I double delulu an ammy, how do I get certain rare mods?
>>571724207If poe1 is any indicator, that will never change. The playerbase doesn't want it to be balanced because that would require their favorite build to get nerfed.
>>571724260I play SSF. I tried using a plant Lich and was basically immortal with 11k energy shield and a 25%~ pure damage reduction. Nothing could kill me.I killed ALL the pinnacle blind without any issues and only died when I tried to farm chaos resist gems and died by some one shot mechanic I didn't pay attention to.Later I tried to do a blood mage with somewhat good gear doing flameblast and flame/chaos stuff and it was just so much fucking worse in every single way.

>>571724643That works the same with Kelari and bleed
>>571724746I feel like Swift Killer and Masterful Form will be really popular.
>>571721990Is that a man?
>>571724963Wait do they give nodes from the regular ascendancies or the phrecia ones?
>>571724841I think everyone scales Kelari through extra chaos.
>>571725023I thought it changes one of your ascendancy notable into a random ascendancy notable from the base game
>>571724756freshya 2 had lots of players, would have had more if not for idolslop which is why they removed it this time
I heard about an item that lets you choose a different starting point on the talent tree, no matter the class and ascendancy?
>>571725295>If you have the following Phrecian Ascendancy Notables allocated, then these Ascendancy Tattoo notables will be disabled due to functionally stacking in a bad way: >Blind Prophet's Sightless and Slayer's Overwhelm >Daughter of Oshabi's Innate Blessing and Guardian's Harmony of Purpose >Paladin's Light of Divinity and Inquisitor's Augury of Penitence >Paladin's Elemental Valiance and Guardian's Radiant Crusade >Paladin's Anointed Champion and Inquisitor's Pious Path.Yeah looks like it gives you base game nodes.

>>571724756a level 1 Minion Pact isn’t that rare. +1 corrupted gems would be way more expensive though. You don’t need Chieftain explode to get started. And no gauntlet mods so people will get to t17s faster than last Phrecia.
>>571725609there's just too many of them at this point in the league compared to people actually interested in using itthey're 9d on hc depending on the start point
Kind of sad to admit it but I think I'm skipping Phrecia, I don't like short events too much, and I like Phrecia ascendancies even less.I will simply try to milk POE2 more if possible, or save my energy/wrists for the next proper POE1 league.
>>571724963Nah Duelist tattoos will be inflated because of More Than Skill if anything. BIS for Baldo farmers and lunatics grinding Tota
>>571725609I think they're just kind of niche. Maybe there's some left-right companion stuff. Or warriors dipping into monk to take some decent nodes.
>>571725845I feel that PoE2 is slightly raw and whatever iteration they have for the next mini league will be much better so I don't see why I should go that ham with it.
>>571725928>I feel that PoE2 is slightly rawBoy do I know it, after this extremely buggy, grindy patch with no new classes and 80% old content repackaged in a new format.Somehow I still feel like playing, just can't pick a cool new build to commit to.

>>571716283ben_ points from 2 years ago still stand and the one single simple question that destroyed poe2, jonatroon, mark the fat and quinsixnine still has no answer to this day>why does poe2 exist?
How do I see the challenges I can complete this league? I have no idea, but I should probably have most of them.
>>571727083because it's shaping up to be a massive commercial success that has broader appeal than just the arpg community, the older graphics of poe1 and everything else that aged on top of the reputation it had was never going to be overcome so a fresh slate is ideal
>>571727083>why does poe2 exist?WSAD and roll are fun
divine orbs must be the most useless currency in path of exile 2 if only I could use a couple divines to put 'Prefixes Cannot Be Changed' on gear or something...
>>571727083Why did the direction for this game become so shit, this is just a bad poe1 clone now when it started out as its own thing at first.
>>571727262so you must enjoy and play d4 a lot considering it's a massive commercial success with broad appeal other than the arpg community.can you post your character from all 13 seasons of d4?
>>571727315arpg zoomers and gamerdadsand them having a lot of access to the devs/community focusthe lesson to be learned here is that while community engagement is nice, it's best to keep your playerbase at arm's length >>571727491no, but me not being a d4 player does not change the fact it's commercially successful and a driving reason as to why blizzard decided to make d4I play hrpgs and shitty gacha when I'm not playing poe2, but I'm not a dev trying to make a game and make money
>>571724841kelari does great single target damage the best herald for this would be ash for overkill
>>571727685>no, butokay so then please shut the fuck up retard and never reply to me ever again
>>571727491is d4 a commercial success? I have never met anyone irl that played d4, but know quite a few people that played poe.
I want to make a ranger for HCSSF, but never played one before. Any tips?
>>571727843just go look around for the stats a bitit may be a shit game, but it's a successful shit gamecan argue how much of that is due to IP power>>571727829retard, but actually
what will 0.5.4 contain?
>>571727491does d4 have a broad appeal? it's almost never mentioned anywhere by anyone, just seems like it's a blizzard game for whoever is left playing blizzard games in 2026.
>>571727843d4 was like the best selling game of all time when it released
>>571728065More bugs and worse performance
>>571725464>path of exile if I could stack shrine ascendanciesThey just hate joy.
>>571727843a quick google search can answer that question. you can also find out how much d4 made on release and then compare it to the "financial success" that is poe2.>b-b-but poe2 was n-never meant to be for e-everyonecope, jonatroon himself said the opposite. like it or not poe2 was meant to compete with d4 but when it failed to reach a significant amount of players on launch jonatroon changed his tune immediately.>1.0 will have gorillions of players!sure it will buddy, it won't have more than EA launch and that was paid and 1.0 will be free. this will be a double loss because jonatroon doesn't give a shit about those 30 bucks for beta access, for him it's important to have as many players as possible so they can buy stash tabs.
>>571728186I don't know if I believe that. I have never seen anyone mention playing it irl. On steam it had like 30k players average.
>>571728186>>571728328d4 is a scam designed to make money, which is why it made a ton of money while nobody is actually playing it
>>571728328>make the game free>so you can sell stash tabsDoesn't make sense to me
>>571728328>it won't have more than EA launchAfter seeing random non-poefags pick up the game for this patch, I'm now certain 1.0 will break EA's record.I didn't think it would go that way before but GGG just know how to make hype out of thin air and buggy ass incomplete releases.
>>5717283281.0 is actually going to pop offwe have japanese vtubers streaming their arpg days on endthere is appeal like there never was for poe1
>>571728410>I don't know if I believe that.lmao I know right?! companies can just make shit up and say whatever the fuck they feel like LOL!!hey we sold 1000 million copies lmao can't prove otherwise HA HA.and these niggers call d4 drones delusional.
>>571728410>On steam it had like 30k players average.Because the game had a steam release like 2years after it was released, not even a fraction of the players play it on Steam except for retards.Why are you using retarded anecdote for your measurement? I never once met a person that knew what PoE even is, does that mean the game doesn't exist?
>>571728328>you can also find out how much d4 made on releasea google search will also tell you assassin's creed shadows had a billion players, and yet somehow ubisoft is still going bankrupt.
>>571725636The part where she's cruel, angry and prideful until she meets a credible threat for the first time and her confidence as a godqueen who ordered the deaths of thousands and caused her entire civilization to crumble into dust because none of them are as important as the way a tentacle monster makes her vagina feelShe spends the entire fight jerking off to how great she is up until she's stripped down and faces complete helplessness and even in that last moment she still chooses the most prideful, cruelest option to cause another cataclysm over losingAtziri is such a selfish cunt that she makes that choice in every universe across all posibilities to the point that the consistency makes the sentient concept of chaos upset
>>571728683Yeah, if poe2 supposedly earned a billion dollars, it would be weird if you never met anyone that even knows it exists.
>>571728484>so you can sell stash tabsBecause the game is close to unplayable without stash tabs
What happened to the narrative that poe 2 is a tutorial to poe 1, havent seen it in a while
>>571728279trvke.
>>571728910I don't believe that anyone ever said that.
>>571728683everything blizzard makes now is by and for trans people and fat women. just because d4 is popular in your circle of friends doesn't make it good or popular.
Hear me out, ggg makes a boss mode that caps everyone's damage to a specific amount regardless of build that forces you to do all the bosses mechanics at least 3 times per phase and it gives exclusive uniques, you can choose this or normal bossing i really dont understand why actual bossing exists in campaign and its a few seconds at endgame looking at the mechanics from bosses this league looks great but im destroying bosses in seconds which feels great but i want the option to do the above
all this d4 talk should go in the d4 general :^)
Captain Lance said on stream that content creators deserve to be paid for their builds and that the Asian incel brigade should all commit suicide. Is he right?
GGG should not make the game free, keep the $30 price and make it so you get basic stash tabs by default
>design the game like dark souls with bosses with phases and shit you have to dodge>game is not even out yet and yet the powercreep is so bad that all bosses just die within seconds and you see nothing
>>571729356they tried something similar in last epoch and we already have a dr window on bosses right now.I don't like bossing in poe2 because they vomit mechanics non stop. I'd rather have bosses have 20x their current xp but have them do a mechanic once 10 or 15 seconds. mechanic vomit is what makes everyone want to one shot them.
>>571729356I had the same idea. Something like decreasing cap bar that limits to how much a boss HP can decrease. Because the "annihilate the boss in seconds, or get one shot by random bullshit" isn't really inspiring as far as design goes.
>>571729560Yeah that will at least slow down the bot infestation. It's going to be legendarily bad on release with probably >10 million bot accounts farming 24/7.
>>571727169press Eytch (H)
>>571729617>they tried something similar in last epoch and we already have a dr window on bosses right now.what's a dr window?
>>571729495the d4 general has had 49 posts in the last 14 days, it isn't set up for this level of traffic.
>>571729784damage reduction
>>571729356Modes where you don't get to enjoy your build being powerful don't fit in to arpgs. I do think a lot of the bosses currently aren't tanky enough though you can trivialise them very average builds.
>>571729617meant hp not xp, obviously>>571729784damage reduction window. it's already in the game, you do much much less damage when you engage the boss, after a few seconds, idk what the exact timer is, that fades and you do your full normal damage.
They should just give bosses more life and damage, and create a reverse-enrage mechanic where if a boss fight takes too long, the player can do something to cheese it.Like an NPC will come to your aid or something.
>>571729856>i dont like it when i have to interact with the game>if a build requires me to notice whats happening on screen then it doesnt fit into arpgsthe intended audience
>>571729602Post your HCSSF Arbiter of Divinity clear frogchud
>>571729949that just make it worse lol
>>571730413hc ssf stopped being a thing when lich got released and completely became a meme once varashta came out
>>571729617>they tried something similar in last epochThey pussied out and replaced it with a worse mechanic, sadly
>>571730519I accept your concession
>>571730413I have one, but I play HC trade without trading at all so I can play with a friend.Like >>571730519 said I just play Lich and can't die at all.
>>571730525well I played both versions and I don't like either. I don't like having a mechanic in game that just nullifies player power. last epoch is a terrible game, idk why it's praised so much. it had potential, ONCE, back 7 years ago.
>>571730452They're clearly invested in making shitters be able to finish bossfights.But this makes boss fights too easy for non-shitters.So it's a happy compromise that lets them pump the boss life values up. And players will be able to opt out of it if they don't want it, like with souls summons.
>>571730413not the frogchud but I could procure an hcssf divinity kill on spiritwalker in probably a couple daysamazon is some more
Did they even finish the story/campaign in Last Epoch?The game was a bit janky, but I liked that most stuff was viable in that game unlike in poe2 where only like 1-5 skills out of 100 is actually good to use each league.
>>571730378illiterate retard
>>571730576are you aware that quin who never played varashta in his life just walked and killed all bosses on ssf hc blind on that ascendancy?he couldn't even make it do zdps like he usually does with his builds because khelari's deception is that strong. he didn't have a lot of es either.cope however you want.
>>571730846souls summons are also shit.Literally all that's needed is lower damager or slower mechanic spam, and more HP or damage cap.
>>571727694Yes but you will never get that with normal minion kills outside of Gravebind
Are any of the new ward skills actually usable/played?
>>571730731I just like it because it gave the bosses a chance to do shit without being too in-the-way (PoE's "solution" to this was invuln phases), and as a bonus equalized 10 billion DPS builds down a bit
>>571731184ill test it later to see if it works
>>571730958They showed Orobyss's origin story, I don't know if more story is coming but it feels like it leads into the monos pretty well now to me
>>571731332poe2 has a ton of retarded and unfair boss invulnerability phases not to mention bosses just don't phase when they're supposed to.how about that some bosses reach 99% freeze build up and just don't get frozen or the same with stun build up.or my personal favorite, bosses doing mechanics, including one shot mechanics, while being stunned.poe2 is such a dogshit game it's unreal how people have the balls to defend it.
>>571731161>more HPMore HP is probably not coming, because they want it to be accessible to shitters.Damage caps are unfun.Summons don't infringe on your experience if you don't want them, and help you if you need help.
Did you like 0.1 more or the current direction more?
>>571731637if summons can aggro the boss like in souls games, they fundamentally change the encounter because you don't have to worry about attacks and mechanics while it's alive.
>>5717319360.1 was superior because everything is still balanced around loot scarcity
>>571707843Retard.
>>571731936depends. I liked the 0.1 Act 1 and partially Act 2 vision. After that it's all visual noise slop with deleting obstacles in a second. I do like the endgame expansion.
>>571732178I think 0.1's campaign up to and including doryani was pretty superior to the rest of the campaign implementationthe endgame was absolute unbalanced slop though
>>571708574Comparison is the thief of joy.this season is even easier than last to get rich you retard.
0.1 didnt have swords0.5 didnt have swords
>>571732284the balance is worse or the same now tho
>>571732014Doesn't have to be a summon specifically, just something to do to make the fight easier if you're a shitter.
>>5717323301.0 will not have swords
>>571732386yeah but you can play it now, in 0.1 it was just a jarring bad
>>5717319360.1 was amazing on first playthrough, but sucked ass on subsequent ones. The concept is nice, but not really feasible for a game you're expected to play over and over again for years on end because it burns out players to have to lock in this hard on every leaguestart. I have many problems with the direction the game is heading into, but it was the correct decision to make loot more plentiful.
>>571714172Retard.They should have never gone back on only 1 copy of a support gem across all your skills.
>>571732386the 1 life per map bullshit in 0.1 was attrocious, especailly witht he humiliation ritual of being forced to redo it.Sustaining maps was also bullshit. The game was basically unplayable without 100 MF on gear.
>want to play other games to not burn myself out of 2>can't go back to clicking
What would a campaign skip even look like for poe2? Just going straight to maps from level 1?
>>571732535it would have been perfectly fine with a campaign skip option that unlocks if you beat the campaign once every league.
>>571716348Gtfo. The game has improved as ggg fleshed it out. If we never got the game gutted for retards, it would already be GOATed.Instead it's only impressive my current year gaming standards.DON'T CALIFORNIA MY POE2!!!
>>571732829I reckon it should be how it is now but then have cbt events every now and then.
>>571732793Negative tier maps
>>571732609It's an honor to speak to you Mr. TubfulI mean Mr. Woodful
The game would be 1000x better if there was actually some kind of balance in the game. It's just a fucking dice throw if you make your own build if it works or not depending on if the skill you want to use is actually good or not.It's fucking insane how big the power gap is between some skills.
>>571732793it would look like infinite heist or delve from poe1, and the novelty would wear off real fast.
Are spears fun? I've never played them and I'm debating what to make my new SSF character. I'm either going titan slams, gemling with spears or maybe gemling slams.
>>571732793I don't even want one for POE2 personally, and I do want one for POE1.I think the perfect solution would be to have some kind of item, about the rarity of a Valdo's Puzzle Box (or even make the Valdo itself usable), that's limited-use and turns your new character level 60 and gives it random class-appropriate blue gear, and access to the atlas.Maybe make using it also unlockable so you can never do it for your first character of the league, and so bots can't go too hard on it.
>>571724994No but she suicided
>>571733176as a spear enjoyer they're quite fun if you enjoy combo slop gameplayif you can get yourself to press parry then disengage it opens up the entire weapon, if not then it might be pulling nails to generate frenzy charges
>keep dropping +3 to level of minion skills on amulets, +2 on foci, scepters etc>yet to drop a +3 to spell level amuletfucking SHIT I will not change my build to minions, that shit is gay
>>571728690>until she meets a credible threat for the first timethat the most brutal and cunning queen to ever walk that land would ever beg is just not immersive. that's a bully victim fantasy - to see the evil nemesis get reduced to the same thing that you, the victim, once was reduced to.
I just want to play hexblast...
Has anyone gotten a level 20 skill or spirit gem from a generic gem reward through the league mechanic? Or does it have to explicitly say level 20 gem
>>571733869she begs Pochiti, not you, which doesnt seem out of character.
>>571733843>combo slop gameplayHow much comboing are we talking about here? Am I constantly spamming multiple keys all the time or is it for my boss killing? I played a wyvern druid and quite enjoyed using combos to generate my power charges but that was only two buttons. The most buttons I've ever played was some mace gemling back in 0.1 but even then that was like 5ish buttons to boss kill.
>>571733869she never did anything herself or showed any profound intelligence, the lore is pretty clear that it was her arsenal of simp advisors and elitists that screwed it all up. communion wasn't even her idea
>>571733869>that the most brutal and cunning queen to ever walk that land would ever beg is just not immersiveChildish take, an evil cunt like that is not above begging.That said I don't like POE2 Atziri at all, the fight is too easy and her stupid accent is retarded.
>>571734240Probably a 0.01% chance to get that drop if anything. You might as well ignore remnants with less than 6 runes if that's what you're after.
>>571725845>save my energy/wrists for the next proper POE1 league.Poo 1 is a zero button game though?
>>571734883Maybe he's playing a necro build
>>571734883That's not true, you press Shield Charge and Frostblink all the time
>>571734883Mouse movement, mouse aiming for movement skills, mouse aiming for damage skills, mouse looting, mouse inventory management and having more or less everything be on the mouse, or aimed by it, takes a bigger toll on my wrists than WASD+mouse. It might have to do with how I sit or something.>>571734965I almost never play minions, I play a mix of builds with many buttons and few buttons in both games.

Supported Skills empower additional Attacks if they destroy enough Ice Crystals and Ice Fragments.Would you expect these to interact?
poo 2 big stinky
>>571735254Chris=Sin>>571735385I think those icy fragments are not the kind of fragments detonatable by warcries.
>>571735497I should have known that a fragment and a Fragment were different things.
>>571735385Yes because Vrunn's Aftermath can pop Fragments and Crystals.
>>571734605Wellusually you're using snipers mark or parry to generate frenzies, if it's parry then you need to attach frenzied ripsote to something or disengagealternatively you do break armour + resonance or some other frenzy charge genafter that it's just your spenders, something as simple as juicing lightning spear and pressing it works, primal strikes requires shock, twister is just press whirling slash 3 times or a frenzied whirlwind lance then twistersure you can put down other things on top of this or hit it all in a parry window to explode the enemyyou probably need 3 unique buttons to do any significant damage until you streamline it in endgame
love how tavakai says kalguurans
>>571735650GGG has fucked the dog on tooltips and descriptions in way worse ways.I bet you don't know that Rapid Assault exploding spears combine their bleed into a single hit.Just gotta test everything yourself all the time.
>>571735385>>571735705They're icy fragments, not [u]Ice Fragmentsâ„¢[/u]
>>571735497Jonathan=Innocence
>>571735950if innocence was a tub shitter
>>571735254it's because the beast makes all gods weak and sleepybut also because stories about gods in video games are always either incomprehensible shit written by someone who overdosed on hallucinogens, or they make no fucking sense and the writer hopes nobody ever finds out. poe1+2 are stories about incompetence, written by the incompetent.
Vorana drops nothing good
>>571735793Fuck it, I'll just give spears a try and see whether I like them. I'm not using twisters since they look gay.
I think I narrowed it down now: 1-3 Shockwave Cyclone Harbinger4-6 Cobra Lash Wildspeaker7-9 Ice Spear of Splitting Blind Prophet0 Holy Strike Paladin
>okay, you get spearswaoh>javelins evenWAOH>but you only get super weird attacks and your best attack is making faggy little whirlwindsnot waoh
Worth playing poe still? since they changed acts i stopped playing because my characters was getting mad rekt.
I'm going to strangle the Nameless Seer
>>571736562Twisters is very strong but whirling slash is a little homosexual (derogatory)If you want more manly twisters, just do what I did this league and play parry + disengage to generate frenzies then whirlwind lance for stage 4 whirlwind and barrage/twister off thatMost of the spear skills are actually pretty strong though, the two end ones are just extremely shitty, I think wind serpent's fury basically requires deadeye but I'm not certain, spear of solaris is a meme
Why does he shit in a tub?
>>571736975>Exile gets mad after getting offered stuff for FREEMore like he should strangle you
is this "interlude" part considered act 5?
>>571737259>poops in your hands free of charge THANKS
>>571736880It almost makes me cry, you look at Arbiter of Divinity doing these huge spear sweeps, and you can't do any of that shit, it's all super intricate comboslop and there are no skills you can just spam for general use.I guess blood hunt looks kinda cool after a disengage but eh. Spears need more skills (like everything else).
>>571737305No. It's just some random crap they threw together from endgame locations so people wouldn't have to run the campaign twice like they did before Act 4 came out. 1.0 will replace it with full-fledged Acts 5 and 6.
>>571737390you can do the sweep literally inc aoe on primal strikes + cull the weak, you just need to solve shock but if you're on softcore just run wake of destruction
>>571734727Atziri is not just evil. she is also smarter and more cunning than anyone around her. she is not feared because she is just an evil cunt. that assumption would be childish, anon. your bully being weak and pathetic is a victim power fantasy and kills all atmosphere and mysticism around any interesting villain. villains begging in their final moments is slop. it's for people with immature minds, end of story.

Guys, I think Poe2 might very well be the best game ever made.
>>571737796>poe1 >in 2026Lmfao
>>571737563>you can do the sweep but it's tiny and you have to constantly interrupt your sequenceI also don't want my attack to summon cattle, sorry. Don't give me suggestions, I looked at all of it from 100 angles with all the meme supports. I only gave the Arbiter as an example because he has simple, to the point attacks, while the player has a bit shortage of those.
>>571734649yeah, I'm gonna need some citation on that very clear lore
>>571737068Twisters just don't fit the image in my mind of being a spear user. I imagine them raining down on my enemies or just going straight through someone, not summoning mini-tornados. This sounds super autistic but it breaks my immersion in the world and character I am playing.
>>571737796skill issue, somehow Mathil can do it
>>571737904The stags cover the entire screen and clears whites/blues a screen away anonyou're just being pickyalso if your attack speed is high enough you can do actions inbetween the primal strikes and resume the string where it left off
>>571737583I think you're just genuinely mindbroken by The Boys and can't see the wood for the trees.Villains being pathetic is true to life and it's uncontroversial to me. You have some personal investment in this being one way and not the other, and I don't share it. Despite not even liking POE2 Atziri, you're putting me in a position to defend the writing because you're criticizing it with arbitrary positions presented as fact.
I stopped playing poe1 after they released the full campaign. that was when the game went from dark and edgy to world of warcraft storytelling.
>>571737948It's fine, if the theme of it doesn't fit what you want for whatever reason that's a more valid reason than many otherstwisters gets quite tiring in endgame anyway despite what everyone says, big maps become a chore, big boss arenas become a chore, and the solution is to just scale the damage so hard that it no longer matters if 3 or 15 twisters hit something
>>571737961Mathil has been playing the game as a job for years. He already knows what's gotten nerfed or doesn't work anymore without looking it up, so he won't even think to brew around them. Of course he can do it.
>>571738067>The stags cover the entire screen and clears whites/blues a screen away anonThey could also do my laundry and I still wouldn't be enthused to use them, looks stupid to me and I don't have a class fantasy of waving a spear and spawning colored animals.>you're just being pickyI have the right to be. But are you denying that POO2 has too few skills? Cuz that's insane to me if you are. Even if you like every single one of them, do you really not want more>also if your attack speed is high enough you can do actions inbetween the primal strikes and resume the string where it left offI'm absolutely never playing that shit. The thing they added where removing a debuff/ailment gives it a cooldown before it can be re-applied disgusts me on a primordial level, way more than the stupid colored animals.
>>571737881well it's better than any current ARPG on the market right now, but that says more about the market than about the game
I don't get it, where are the extra Charm slots?
>>571738575They're not extra, it's up to 3 charm slots.
>>571738256>its only because he has an inside info! SKILLISSUESKILLISSUE
>>571738575The belt can implicitly roll between 1-3 slots, so the +2 just guarantees you get 3.
>>571738132you are defending the bad writing based on feelings that your project onto me.and no, villains begging had always been a slop staple, most popular in the American super hero genre, as well as Jewish movies (Jews have a massive humiliation fetish).the most well-liked villains in media did not beg. the most cunning and ruthless villains never beg. you are thinking of yourself - a worm.
>>571738651>Belt can only drop at level 44+, at which point players will have +1 from Valley of the Titans>At which point, all Belts can roll 3 implicit Charm slots and have a minimum of 1>Has a flat +2 Charm slots anyway, which is guaranteed to provide no more than 1 Charm slot in all cases and 0 in most casesGood lord, everywhere I turn, shit design follows.
>>571738930They need to clean up a bunch of shit and legacy designs that were clearly balanced around the game still being ruthless+, but it will never happen.
>>571738930>no more than 1 Charm slot in all casesThere is one fringe case you forgot:>People who skip it/don't know about itThe belt is still bad of course, but like I have seen a few speedrunners/newbs on Ninja who skipped it.
>>571739313Beta 2 coming soon in December. They'll surely fix things now.
poopy deuceawful stench
>>571738930iirc they planned on letting people have more than 3 with that belt but they never got around to it. It's probably pretty low priority for them.
>>571739694>A build-enabling Unique is low-priorityLmao
>>571739901compared to a lot of other shit, yeah
Why do stashes not have an auto sort button?Why can't we enable damage numbers?Why is the entire MTX system outdated even for a game that would have been released 30 years ago?
I haven't played in a week did they fix the game yet
>>571738813>you are defending the bad writingA villain begging is not inherently bad writing. Also you should've just said you're a DA JOOZ retard right away, I would've known not to respond.
>>571740516>Arcane Kiwi technology>Would probably just cover the entire screen with all the micro stuff that keeps happening>>>
>>571740516>Why can't we enable damage numbers?
>>571741203>>571741410Give me a single reason why it would be a negative thing to enable the option to have damage numbers.Because it would expose how shitty balanced the game is and actually allow people to try and test builds?
>>571741602they are enabled nerd, on bossesdo you just want the screen to pop with 50000 numbers as you clear a pack
>>571741679>do you just want the screen to pop with 50000 numbers as you clear a packYes, when I do test new builds I want to see the numbers and difference. When I crit I want to see the big crit numbers.Tell me again, what's the negative thing about having the OPTION of enabling them?
The new TQ 2 act might honestly be too big. I thought I could just bang it out before the Phrecia event tomorrow, but fuck me...
>>571741810I'm pretty sure displaying all those numbers is not good for the serverbut I'm not really opposed, it's just funny, it won't help you calculate anything though because of variance, it's just gonna be one giant cumstain of numbers
>>571740793a cunning and proud villain begging is inherently bad writing - the writer has no idea how a person with such intelligence and power would act, nor has he done any research on the topic. the fact that you are unable to see this while also getting your panties twisted when it's compared to Jewish Hollywood writing tells me that you are arguing like a woman and thus are unable to comprehend any point that was made at all.
>>571742032There is absolutely nothing wrong with a cunning and proud villain begging in his final momentsif anything your insistence on it not possibly being the case and a mischaracterization is your desire to enforce your tropes on everythingdo you think someone who is prideful and a sleazebag doesn't have the capacity to be a bitch if it benefits them?
All grim pillars totem builds use entangle or some other skill to detonate the pillars. But why not make the totem cast that skill too?

>>571742021>it won't help you calculate anything though because of varianceYes it will, it will make me easily more understand shit like ignite, seeing the actual numbers, test it on the same type of mobs seeing the difference.If all other ARPG's can have damage numbers but this game can't, they really need to hire better coders

>>571729856This is a fake argument by fake people, you might just be a GGG employee that use it so you cba to balance the game
>>5717426021.1 at the earliest which is in about 2 years
So now that they've pivoted away from the "dark souls" aspect of the game and have the game designed around you blowing up the entire screen with 1 button and zooming around... will they rebalance all the useless skills that requires a big setup/combo to do?Feels like the majority of the skills in the game just doesn't fit into the zoomy gameplay of the game at all.
>>571743150>Pivoted awayLet's not act as if people weren't already exploding screens even back in 0.1.
is there a way to make him shut the fuck up
I'm about to leaguestartHow do I quickly complete the campaign as Mercenary? I hate grenades
>>571743150brother all they need to do is give arbiter x10 hp and 80% damage reduction and we'll be straight back to dark souls
What the fuck am I supposed to be doing???
>>571743386You could play twister or the supporting fire tactician thing.>>571743438more like straight back to CoC bloodmage.
>>571743518do expeditions in the maps until a logbook drops then click the boat icon which opens up more maps
>>571743518You might need to go to Kingsmarch itself to see it, if you have the quest.A ship icon is supposed to appear on your atlas in that area, in several places. Then you pick the locale you wanna go to and you click it.
>>571743610the point is that the moment the damage no longer flattens a boss, they can make it dark souls all they wantit might be jarring, but you could have blasting in maps and then a boss just spawns in with 95% dr and 25 mil hp, and if it hits you you diethat could be the game
These places feels like such a waste of time, not worth doing it right?>>571743616I got two logbooks already.>>571743763Must be a bug I guess.
>>571743780that would suck donkey nuts
>>571743780I want bosses to have life, but my point is that player power is out of whack atm and even pretty big buffs to boss life (without nerfs to player power) will be surmountable easily.
>>571743998there's a breaking pointwe don't do infinite damage even if people like to pretend we doand if you really wanted to be anti-fun, you could add in conditionals like having to collect buffs before you can inflict any damage while dodging things, or the last thing you hit an enemy with it gains increasing resistance to until its invulnerable
>>571743518travel towards the edge and a boat icon will pop up.
>>571744203>you could add in conditionals like having to collect buffs before you can inflict any damage while dodging things,They already did this in 1.>or the last thing you hit an enemy with it gains increasing resistance to until its invulnerableThey could still do this.
>>571744203I'm pro-fun. I'm ok with quest bosses being easy, just re-add uber difficulties and put some more juicing in the game. Maybe also infinite-scaling content like delve.
>>571743780That would be an easy way to stop most people from wanting to play
why do poo fans try to come up with every solution except not having player damage scale up 100000 times over the course of the game
Is it possible to redo a desecrate on an item, or is the item just worthless if it didn't hit a good modifier?

>people complain about having to do the campaign every league>but not all the endgame quests that takes like 100x longer time to completehuh?
The problem with player power isn't that it's too great but that the gulf is too wide and the lack of true pinnacle content. They want at least the Atlas questlines to be doable by people who don't follow a build guide. With some amount of difficulty, but doable. Remember how Johnathan said they nerfed a bunch of interlude encounters because he went through them with an intentionally suboptimal build? Yet players who do follow a guide or are enfranchised PoE veterans are not just twice as strong as the casuals, it's by a magnitude of hundreds if not thousands. So of course they delete everything and encounter no resistance. They either need to close that gap, which seems impossible with how the game is played, or they need to introduce content that is explicitely made to run your optimal builds against while also making it clear to the casuals that it is not mandatory and not the final part of your progression but rather a prestige kinda deal. It's tough work and I don't think they can do it, but I admire them for at least trying.
>>571745227>bought
>>571745406Those are new, people will complain about them later on, if they even reach that point.
>>571745406Doing all the endgame quests won't be mandatory going forward. People are doing it because it's new content they wanna see and because of the challenges. Going forward you're just gonna pick one or two mechanics you wanna do and do those questlines and ignore the rest each league.
>>571745406I still haven't touched Temple, Breach or Delirium. I know it's inefficient but I just run Ritual, Abyss and Expeditions.
>>571745683plus most people don't actually play the endgame, they do a few maps and then quit the league or reroll.
>>571745428>you cant expect casuals to put effort in so the campaign has to be 10 hours of mandatory trivial contentOK so when is the campaign skip for people who actually want to play the videogame
When will mercs come back?
>>571745341Torn between doing witch for big bog memes or doing ranger for tota farming if I decide to actually commit.Last phrecia I already did kf oshabi and it got to 100m dps and 200k evasion.Maybe I go in with the intention to do flicker wildspeaker I guess.
is there "educational" playthrough series done by someone? like super cut run of campaign and mapping etc rather watch 1hr video or so instead of a 20 hour stream vod
>>571746394That whole league was just a test of a single skill for PoE 2.
>>571746479I did think about doing kf oshabi too, but since I did a EHotS Oshabi last league I figured I should diversify a bit
>>571746556I don't think so, but I like these videos from that guy who plays random builds.
>>571746808I'm thinkin about it and wildspeaker can fish for ancestral fury and go totally crazy with flicker so it might be the way.
>>571746652>basically a cool merc buddyinstead we got the death from above or w/e the shit is called, supporting fire
>>571747181It's a standard gem available to everyone. They've even added gemling quality to it, so I'd be really surprised if it isn't included in 1.0.
>>571747174if you haven't done it before, flicky is super fun, weird digits anon
thank FUCK they added that preview in tool-tip when using omen of whittling, I always think it's lowest modifier tier and fuck it up, so stupid it refers to the thing you can't see ingame...
>invest in Armor>nothing happens>invest in Evasion >something might happen>invest in ES>immediately feel tankier
>>571727853>Any tips?Make a second character to kill hard bosses or just skip them until you one shot them
>>571748940he'll be fine as long as he plays eva/es, just needs to know the thresholds to confront certain bosses past the campaign
>>571748771they are just going to keep micro-nerfing es recovery every patch until its """balanced"""
>>571748771https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYtXuBN1Hvc
>>571748771The disparity between ES and other defenses is honestly baffling.And the majority of it is solely because HP scaling basically doesn't exist. ES is the only stat that gets a suitably-sized health pool, which acts as a multiplier to everything else.
>>571746652Cool. Maybe that'd make like 10% of uniques have a use instead of 5%
play sprinkler lich
>>57175007290% of unique items are usable.
>>571749778You also get access to complete chaos immunity which only keeps getting more valuable since GGG are clowns who can't think of how to make things more challenging except to heap on more shit that used to be scarce

>>571753572Use something else to level then, fuccboi. It's the campaign. You can blast through that shit with basically anything. Use Shockwave Totems or fucking whatever if you have an allergic reaction to slams.
>>571754259they added friction, you take them to the womb-tree and spend blood to get a proper stone to reveal breach areas on the map.
>>571754259Go out into the world and you'll randomly find areas that are infested with Breach mobs and need a Breachstone to open.That's it.

At first I thought full Harbi Harbi with Yielding Mortality and Torrent's Reclamation is probably just a meme I might do for shits and giggles, but the more I look at it, the more legit it seems.

>>571757587both require frenzy chargesso not really sure what you're asking hereexplosive spear is generally better for single target but you might be able to scale the aoe to a silly amount cause it has decent radius to begin with iirclightning spear is of course great for mobbing and just spreading aids everywhere if you have aids anywhere in your build

>>571758312Somehow, Jonatron convinced poo2turds that is is a game breaking innovation instead of gimping the game
Are there any calculators at all that properly calculate DPS in POE2? So I can know which one of the weapons between the two is a bigger damage increase

>>571757732>>571757928Cool, I'll use LS as my mobbing skill then. Just need to figure out what my single target skill will be. How does parry work? The window seems pretty generous but sometimes I just get knocked to the ground and spaz around for a bit.

>>571758843I've watched someone who has never played a single arpg, let alone poe before, blow through the campaign in 0.4 playing stormweaver and just pressing spark with infusions/flame wallthey literally did not die to any bosses except like jamanra's sandstorm gotcha on transition, most bosses were dying within 20 secondssure elemental spells might be the "worst" but the game is so damn easy already it's embarrassing you're having this much trouble>>571759056If you're going to parry I highly suggest weaponsetting the parry buckler so you can pick up additional stun threshold while parrying nodes and consistent intake (so you don't get crit while parrying)extremely early on it's sketchy, but disengage does very respectable damage actually, you just hold parry and it will parry attack considered parriable (mostly things you can block?), if you would have evaded that attack you take 0 stun buildup, if you get hit it'll fill the bar depending on the size of the hitIt actually has no window in that sense, you just tap parry as you're gonna get hit or hold it if you want, then press disengage, the real busted part of parry is you can parry bosses out of entire strings of their attack combos as long as you're within range until you get calgyra's arc, at which point you can parry anything parriable from anywhereif geonor does his beams, stand next to him and hold parry, it will cancel the beams

For comparison: in 2024, this type of expense was $ 1.9 million. • General and administrative expenses amounted to $ 88 million against $ 25 million a year earlier.>These expenses typically include office maintenance, salaries, repairs, and equipment depreciation. • Based on accounts receivable, GGG goods worth over $ 20 million were sold on Steam in December 2025 (15.6 million + 30% Valve commission)>Net profit after taxes amounted to over $ 191.5 million against $ 38.5 million a year earlier. Path of Exile 2 Early Access gave GGG a pretty good financial boost.

Okay, hear me out. Ball Lightning of Static with 55% CDR node from Harbinger ascendancy does 2 million DPS with trash gear off the ground, which is enough to get my void stones. 6 link staff socketed with Galvanic Field of Intensity, and then put trigger craft on the staff. With 55% CDR, Galvanic Field has 100% uptime even with the regular 8 second trigger craft. I only have to hit a bare minimum shock to activate it, so even Ball Lightning can do it.Then I roll Witch tattoos to get the guaranteed 25% shock node. Shock node lets me swap to regular Galvanic Field and stack increased effect of non-damaging ailments for massive AoE. Combine with staff notable for AoE per power charge and cluster jewel for AoE per power charge. It's gonna be total fucking garbage but I kinda wanna try it anyway because big AoE Galvanic Fields touch me in a funny place.

What's are some of the stronkest single target damage set ups I can do with an alternate weapon set. I got plenty of skill gem slots and can use power charges. Weapon set 1 gets all its kills through cull so no glory gain for hotg or spear of solaris. I'll even consider spells, I'll use a split personality if needed, I don't need any attack boosting shit on my gear for weapon set 1.

>>571762598Yeah Jiquani would be the way to get real damage, but then I have to press the Galvanic Field button.
>>571763273yeah but I feel compelled to. I'm trying my best to outwit jonathans no fun policy
>>571763398ordained is a very strong spear so long as you aren't doing something that lessens the lightning damage gainedyou do need to roll it well with divine orbs if it's a cheap one probably

Is gemling completely gutted for STR stacking giant's blood builds now? The 20% less attributes combined with inherent life being halved seems like they've been shafted for mace builds. I hopped onto an old character I had and only had around 2.7k HP, with full motes it went up to 4K but you always end up getting hit during maps so the virtuous barrier will never get full stacked. Do I just bite the bullet and dump giant's blood for a one hander and a shield or maybe just a two hander?
>>571764160"the best of the best" elite forces.So a Cuachic vault is literally a vault full of super soldiers.

Have they said if they're changing anything about ToTA?or is it gonna be the same faggy zdps/zhp meta builds that are the only ones that can do it well
>>571764958interview they did a few weeks ago they said the reason tota was taking so long was that everything they made for poe2 during poe1 was trash and needed to be better. but now they are running tota, so who knows.
is it possible to make this bow work or any of the bow uniques in a ranger build?

alch ex ex vaal tablet 1 alch tablet 2 alch tablet 3 alch go wrong master
>>571763192so the way I understand it isflammability: based off flammability of the hit vs ailment threshold of the targethits that bring target to 100% flammability or hit at that threshold will igniteignite is based off the ignite magnitude of the hitthus harder hits will do stronger ignitesincreasing ignite magnitude means the ignite will be based off a larger % of the hitduration will not increase or decrease damage per second, it will only make the ignite last longer. so technically it will do more total damage after the full duratiionspecial mods like "deal damage faster" will in fact make the ignite have higher dpsthe main problem is it's mostly guesswork to find the optimal balance between ignite magnitude and just getting more damage.
>>571765168idk man, chaos can easily ignite n shit, poison ignite with shock, stacking ailment magnitude and plague burst support

>>571766962It's actually a pretty good, fast, and mindless farming method if you have a build that can handle all of this without any problems. I'm not even talking about zoom zoom crap, but rather something like a armor/HP stacking auto-bomber so you can just block all the modifiers with your shield.

>>571768217>>571768364it's time to delete wisps from the game
>>571768343Honestly for me it's usually the other way around. ES has a high number but you really can't survive at all. ES/Armor is probably the most viable defense right now because EV feels just too random.
>>571768217Lol she's even more fun in ritual where she blends in with the rest of the mobs
>>571768397>giga op tota build to complete the mirage challenges>not streamer baitthose two are the same thing in Mirage lmao
>>571768583Armor does literally nothing, especially if you halve it with hybrid shenanigans.
>>571768397kf whisperer
>>571768217I imagine she is balanced around keeping her away from her wisps, which is doable and makes the fight a cake walk. The problem is you have no control over whether she will do one of her couple flippy jumpy dodgy things across the screen and run straight into one or three of her wisps, instantly making the fight a nightmare
>>571768217How does one deal with this meaningfully
>>571768730Works for me
>>571768620I just fought her "queen" form and half my projectiles passed right through her without doing damage, shit was cash
>>571768397None of the challenges need you to do tota though.I used bloodsoaked banner champ but you can't really make it anymore because minion pact mazies will pay 60d for a +1 gems synth bow.
I'm thinking of finally jumping in to POE2 if it goes on sale tomorrow during the steam sale. I played a good bit of 1 back in 2014-2018, but always followed build guides. Whats a good braindead, cheap to gear build for a first timer? I'm leaning towards something with minions.
quin is quitting poe2...... zaccie fucked up and didnt fix life......
Should I just skip summoning circles? I haven't got a singlle good drop since 0.5.
>>571765957Raise Spectre
>>571716283The initial quest line is just "okay" but a little long in the tooth. I think I still prefer being able to repeatedly run random maps for uber fragments like in Poe1 and would rather a less randomized system that requires immense grind and moving around a topographical map. Also i think all of the atlas trees are dogshit and don't really add anything substantive to the game. Tablets are shit as well and I'd rather they just be tiered bonuses like scarabs so we didn't have to roll them. Map device is cumbersome dogshit with controller. Still no unique poe2 exclusive mechanics is gay, balance is a joke, and there's a lot more mechanical jank to poe2 builds than in poe1 which is an astounding accomplishment to say the least
>>571769236you should skip everything except wisps
poobros... /ourguy/ just quit poo forever...
Why shouldn't armor protect against DOT damage anyway? It's a protective layer by definition.
i've been reading quite a bit about poe lore since i started with poe2... are the maraketh supposed to be arabs or east asians? if it's arabs, why the hell does jun look chinese and if it's east asians, why the fuck do the maraketh look arab?
>>571769737they're steppe people
>>571769737they're not "supposed to be" anything other than what they are

It's weird how they can fix ES by blasting the ES% nodes on the tree yet they keep tiptoeing around ES trying to nerf it from other ways. Until they butcher those gigantic % nodes ES will remain the best defensive layer forever. And even then it might still be the best because ES still protects against everything while the other defenses have massive holes.
>>571769641as usual, obvious suicide to get back to reacting
>>571772406How would nerfing ES make your dogshit warrior build better?
>>571716283I enjoyed it more than I previously have enjoyed poe2, but for the last few days I've been playing poe1 and it has felt so much better.I am wracked with indecision trying to pick between like seven different things I can get right now on the passive tree all of which I really want. Which is the exact opposite of poe2.I find a white base of a higher ilvl item on the ground than what I have right now for my mainhand and its exciting because I know I can actually get an upgrade.I found a +1 minion skill gems helmet and it felt hype as fuck instead of just paying the +to levels admission fee.Support gems have been so much nicer. I ctrl+f what I'm looking for and get surprised when the game gives me something even better than what I'm looking for. Almost no cases of "thats exactly what I want, but jonathon wont let me use it on this skill/minion".
>>571772406It's because they're retarded and don't think life/es are the samethey believe es is more analogous to armour/ev
>>571772638ES being knocked off its perch will expose bad monster and boss design. Right now ES builds can just simply facetank and power through dogshit mechanics. If ES was brought down to the level of the other defenses, people would immediately be exposed to the dogshit balance.
>>571772406is this a POE2 thing because the ES% nodes on the POE1 tree are a joke and barely anyone takes them
>>571772864So your solution is to just make the game shittier to play I think you might be retarded
>>571773080All you're telling me is that you only play ES because you're afraid to lose your godmode.
>>571716283Better than before, but the infinite atlas is still garbage.Also the newly released ascendancies really make it clear how they abandoned their original vision of a more hardcore kind of game.I got my challenges done so I'll come back at 1.0
>>571773213No I play ES because its fun Also melee looks gay and boring as fuck
>No I play ES because its fun
Why don't these things tell you if the new mod is a prefix or a suffix?
>>571773437according to poog, evasion is the strongest (kek ikr)
poe2 is a gassed up mid
>>571773542prefixes and suffixes are confusing concepts to new players
>find some copper citadel thingy>fight jamanra>gives me 2 "faded crisis fragments"i'm pretty broke so I just traded them for 10 div, what purpose do they serve post arbiter of divinity?
>>571773808its streamlined and simplified for new players
>>571773935they let you fight arbiter of ass again for his drops
>>571774007ah I seethat fucker drop anything good?
>>571774185yes, hence the high priceprisms of belief come from him
>>571750817sprint is just a stupid mechanic to solve a stupid problem
>>571774297skill issue git gud
>Rogue Exile spawns standing on top of an abyss crack>Doesn't respawn as an abyssalI literally have not had a single one work, I just want a heart of the well bros....
>>571774579They are determined to revive as liches when the map is generated, you don't have to play games trying to lure them over cracks. Same goes for Ritual.
>>571774454I never die to mobs hitting me out of it, it is just a fact that it is a stupid mechanic
>>571774297Sprint is a skill based mechanic that solves a problem created by ADHD second monitor gamers.
>>571774274seems like quite the gamble to spend ~15 div a pop for a chance at a prism that in all likelihood won't be +3 spark but +1 shockchain arrow
>>571774776That's bossing for you, it's all a gamble
>>571774776Just farm instead of spending 15 div then
>>571774663I'm not trying to lure them, unless I'm mistaken they just have to spawn on/near the cracks right? I had a couple that I think spawned as guardians of a shrine directly on an abyss and they didn't work, but this one was literally standing right on the crack and it didn't either.I'm clueless.
23 more poops to go
>>571774951Unlucky then
>>571750817>strongest life form in the universe 10x my size smashes me in the face>as long as i survive the hit and i'm not sprinting, s'all good>sprint while a bug flicks a rock at me>OOWWWWWCHIEEEEE WAWAAAA!!! SSSSSSS AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH F-FUCK THAT HIT ME IN THE KNEEI agree but you can already test how cancerous the game becomes with no stun sprint, imagine if that was baseline. Run past the entire map, slap boss for 2 seconds then leave
>>571774297>the players keep complaining our maps are too big, should we reduce the size?>no let's just add a bunch of checkpoints and when they complain that's not enough we'll add a sprint with shittier handling than a reliant robinThis is the second time sprinting has been added to game I enjoy and has absolutely ruined the gameplay loop.
>>571775167guess you weren't the strongest thenbitch
>>571775167It is funny that you can take blows that should leave craters and in fact nearly nothing can knock you down unless you die but the moment you start hoofing it, you stumble and fall like an idiot.>peter_griffin_pain_sound.mp4
i'm having fun with 0.5 and all but it's still crazy to me that my types of weapons still aren't in the game (swords, axes, daggers)i mean its fucking crazy that we have what I would classify "weird" shit like qstaffs, crossbows, before the most iconic weapons of any fantasy gameswords and axes better be the craziest fucking shit i've ever seen in my life, if they come out and it's literally just fire chop, ice chop etc I'm going to wonder what the motherfucking hold up was
>>571775229The maps are absolutely not too big and sprinting is a fun gameplay mechanic. Some people want to play a game.>No you see this is bad because maps should be tiny>I should be able to beat a map within 1 minute and 47 seconds>I should be spamming flame dash every 0.00027 seconds to cover an entire screenYou are so weak, grow a fucking backbone.
>>571775167they wouldnt need a bandaid fix if poe1 players werent such whiners
>swords and axes better be the craziest fucking shit i've ever seen in my life
I hope they eventually split the elemental skills into three trees, one each for fire, cold, and lightning. Get rid of the infusion shit.
>>571775763thats just the basic attack ya dishonest twatzi
>>571775167I think sprint respects stun threshold somehow.I sprint a lot on my gemling, and because I have like 18k stun threshold from ignore pain and stacking rage effect, it's somewhat rare to fall over unless something obviously hits me like a projectile from a rare/magic.
>>571775763how is this an upgrade from poe1?
>>571775763dios mio..
REMOVE THEM FROM THE FUCKING GAME
>>571776003that is poe1
>check Grim Pillars totem builds on poeninja>everybody's running Mórrigan's Insight or Biting Frost on EntangleBut exploding the pillars doesn't count as consuming freeze, does it?
>>571775763>axes better be the craziest fucking shit i've ever seen in my lifeIirc there was a leak where they decided to make them throwing weapons like in D2. I wish I was joking.
>>571776012>>571776003its the basic attack you dumb fuckthat's like saying "oh look at ranger in poe2" and its just some L0 retard shooting a bow at a zombie
>>571775763uh...poo2 sisters?
>>571775763Damn, my auto attack build is going to be fucking lit
>>571776273It wasn't a leak
>>571776262>Grim Pillars totem builds
>>571776393easy to see why they broke off poe2 from poe1. imagine if that was what poe2 actually was lol
>>571776579>imagine if that was what poe2 actually was lolBut this is what TRVE HARD 2GAWDS want though? Slow meaningful combat?
>>571776393ITSTHEFUCKIINGBASICATTACKYOUDUMBFAGGOT
>>571776379The point stands for range as well. You just shoot lightning arrow just like you do in poo1. All that fancy jump shot shit no one uses or it is unusable garbage
>>571776519>Marauder's signature weapon>the best way to play with them is on Deadeye
>>571775763Why is it so SLOWWhere is the cleave on the 2h sword????And I don't mean the skill gem I mean the basic attack with a fuckoff huge sword hitting more dude than one just press left click.The onehanded axe has more cleave than the two handed sword hello??
>>571776273i aint even madI assume it's going to be a mix of ranged vs melee skills like spears are
>>571768620you reminded me that i got instakilled by the fat bitch boss in ritual since they had the brilliant idea to not give bosses a few second of idle mode when spawning
axes are gonna be crazy alright kek
>>571777493they are going to be kinoshapeshifting zerker
>>571777493just what armor and life needs
>>571777493>inb4 some node where it says "modifiers to damage taken affects enemies within 6m at 200% of its value"
every time
>>571777493>downside for an entire archetypei sleep
>>571777493I'm so tired of waiting for Marauder to come out. At this rate he's gonna be the last class to get released and somehow still be complete shit.
>>571777771it's gonna be>modifiers to damage taken get reversed whenever jonathan takes a shit (100% uptime)
>>571778006I remember when holy skills got shilled in Mirage (RIP Sweep) that Templar was definitely coming in 0.5. I wonder what's the next additions to 3.29 that'd make people schizo out.
>>571778006it will be one of the last classes to be released. from everything we know they hate the work done for poe 4.0 and have remade it or will remake it.
>do low-tier content>on a build that will never reach its potential>for loot i'll never usecan someone explain ssf to me?
>>571777493>new rune gets released in the same league as axes>100% Increased Effect of Item Implicits (no limit)
wish i had more fps when playing poo2

>>571780771FUCK YOU JONATHAAAAAAAAAAAAAN
>>571774776That's why some people make divs by selling the fragments, others make divs by selling the unidentified prisms and some by selling identified ones.

>>571785764>anime picture>nukedWhy can't we just keep it on topic?
>>571792412I get they wanted to slow the game down in the sequel, but it functionally still feels like the same game, just with less options to deal with things. The removal of flasks was one of the biggest fuck overs to the player base in my opinion. Especially since the maps are so huge, the slow crawl around feels insanely obnoxious. Still don't know why they haven't just made ms an implicit on boots in 2 as a halfway compensation.
What happened? Axe happened!>>571792851>>571792851>>571792851

>arbiter of ASS starts dashing around (sometimes offscreen) making you play his shitty little "follow me" game every time you take 1/8th of his healthyeah this is some unfettered ass and easily my least favorite fight so far. multiple other bosses did this kind of fight way better. i think ill just go back to mapping.
