PoB is responsible for me having played as much as I have in the past 9 months. I play characters that can already beat all the content for much longer just because I want to make those numbers larger.

3-d and probably 20M stuff, barebow style. I'm quite sure there are competitions for eastern style shooting but it's basically unused in any major competition. Turner does well with it but he doesn't use mongolian bows, he uses takedown recurves. As far as I know theres less paradox with a...

The string is behind the riser in every bow I know of. The thumb release pushes the string in the opposite direction from a conventional grip so the arrow is placed on the opposite side. The only competiitve shooter using that method I've heard of is Joel Turner. He has his bows made right...

Perforate is always going to be pretty meh at clearing. The only melee skill I can really tolerate anymore is ground slam. I’m sure there’s something else that has good clear and single target but this league is so goddamn bland I can’t be bothered to try.

All it does is move the paradox to the other side. The thumb release just makes the arrow bend the opposite way.

I've been off of shooting for a good six months now from shoulder problems. Was in my bow arm oddly enough. Most likely aggravated from shooting too much and constantly holding the bow out. Being 47 is probably the real reason though. I get tendonitis type shit in some random body part about...

Part of the problem is slow attack speed though. Slow to start the swing, slow to swing again. Too much empty time to be hit as well as not hitting. Melee pretty much relies on hitting shit every billionth of a second unless built defensive. It's the big reason the melee rework was pointless...

Yes. Sweep is a skill best used on berserker imo. Even with all that extra attack speed it’s still stuttery, I can’t imagine how clunky it would feel on a slayer. Better off playing ground slam.

Fairly sure that Jones could easily wrestlefuck and submit either one of them as long as he can remember that he’s literally the best fighter in the world at it.

Romero definately won the fight by damage and almost finishing but the scoring by rounds was pretty close and arguable either way. It is impressive that someone would be able to move up from WW and win two fights against the scariest guy at mw no matter how close the decision was.

Yeah, stuff like that is only for people who choose to take it. Especially with something like ecstasy which isn’t exactly the most reliable drug with regards to what’s actually in it as well as it being a super intense experience. It’s also dangerous as hell mixed with ssri’s which someone like...

Dosed with what, acid?

Berserker can be pretty irritating and perforate requires some amount of face tanking which doesn’t mix well, plus losing rage if you ever stop attacking for any reason is lame. The gladiator perf was a beast but the clear in sand stance is pretty weak, on the other hand having to take extra...

I tried bladestorm, seemed a bit weak, perforate was better for me. Sweep is pretty similar to sand stance bladestorm but should have a bit better aoe size and hit harder. It’s also comparable to a slow attacking, non movement cyclone, just remove all the stuff that makes cyclone smooth and you...

Protecting? I don’t know, maybe. My dog kills snakes because it fucking kills anything it can regardless of whether or not I’m there.

Larrat is pretty damn entertaining and makes armwrestling worth watching whenever he's involved.

Tower minions are getting nerfed, not sure how much it’ll matter. Til now though, yeah, I just spam minion towers when I bother to even do a blight.

I feel pretty much the same. It’s one of the best games I’ve ever played but the constant fucking with everything, while both good and bad ,eventually leaves a taste of annoyance overall. With as many changes as they make each new league here are just too many things to disagree with.

I’d rather have legion loot levels if I could choose. I did a lot of crafting and played many different builds in legion because I didn’t have to grind with infinite efficiency to get somewhere. Having good items drop was also way fucking better than everything being shit all the time. The...

I started cyclone but switched to ground slam to get better coverage. It takes time and gear for the dps of groundslam to really get going though so it’s initially somewhat weak. It still never really scales all that well but if 2-3m shaper isn’t enough for blights then it’s not worth my time...

Just throw some strings on it and make noise. I use to buy strings from bassstringsonline. Get the proper length for the scale and coated strings will be a bit less harsh if you can choose that. Lower action will save your fingers a bit. Specific strings and set up isn’t nearly as important as...

Melee is really bad at blights. The running back and forth plus clicking menus and also needing to be up close to do damage is a serious disadvantage. I knew I would hate clicking on icons going into this and I was right, I hate it. It can all be overcome mostly but it's just too much work...

It gets better once it levels up some and you get decent weapons. It’s now more in line with all the other melee skills that suck to level with sans twink gear.

Well, playing lol melee so I get absolutely smashed and fail them.

the blights are goddamn awful so far but its early levelling so everything is pretty shit

28,514, about the same as last league. If I remember I was in before the first player hit the ledge last time so it goes quick considering how retardedly fast people get through the acts these days. Edit: droppin like flies, down to 24,117

Tried a bit of SSF just to see what that was like. It's not so bad but ultimately doesn't work for someone like me who wants to play specific skills and not build around drops. I also have to loot and ID EVERYTHING which is pretty tedious.

In general it just makes life fucking miserable. Barring some freak thing happening, a good house is usually fine. Potentially though it could be a two week period of no electricity. In Florida. In the summer.

Not interested at all in any of the changes as I'll never play summoner or miner and it's a slim to none chance I'll make a poison assassin. I'm in the minority there though so they're doing the right thing and a lot of people are going to be hyped. Would like to find out if we're getting any...

This one is going to suck. Been headed straight at me in Melbourne the whole time which is triggering me to no end because these things never go where they think they will but this one's been holding true.

Remains to be seen. Doesn’t seem necessary at this point to nerf anything else, they went after cyclone damage with the flat phys and while impale is pretty strong I don’t see a real reason for them to mess with other skills. Most of the builds I played didn’t use it anyway.

Cyclone is still the league starter for me, I’ll just use it to get going and switch to other skills. It’ll still have all the same qol that other melee skills lack. Multistrike is still shit mostly. It’s better but not in the way it needed to be. I guess it’s fine that it’s not a default...

Weird that they created the two new supporter armor sets to both look pretty much the same exact amount of bland. Still waiting on a 75% off sale of the retardedly expensive nazi armor.

I’m a bit annoyed by it. I generally play “melee” exclusively and they’re going to call it a day with a single patch that had as many negatives as positives. Hopefully they leave the ascendencys alone and don’t nerf slayer or berserker so that there’s at least still the option of using those two...

I'm not, poe has just about the right amount of buttons for my taste but I get that there are plenty of people who can maintain and accurately hit 10 or more buttons playing at the pace of a game like this. I cannot pull that off if my hand or fingers have to reposition. Q through T and side...

Looked pretty bad but I guess we'll see. Pulling up menus and poe just don't mix.

Just teasing bro. Getting to 97 was more than enough considering you also hooked me up with currency and a sick jewel after the fact. I had the best gig on the server going. Ended up with a lifetime suppply of regals too. The resetting issue was caused by anyone entering the fight after it...

The biggest problem with legion was when the dude you were doing resets for hit 100 and now the exp gravy train was over. I doubt I’ll ever have the patience to hit 98 much less 100 without similar shenanigans.

Looking forward to reading about people finding the new loophole for farming legion that’s in there somewhere. For everyone else it’s probably just going to be a breach situation. Hit it when it pops, get a splinter or two and sell a couple emblems two months into the league. Putting it in the...

I may or may not have replied to a trade like that once.
