Standing still tends to be deadlier. Protector or Warchief? The latter is so much better.

Lol, sounds exactly like my problems. I want them all fat and happy and able to perform the toughest jobs with no morale penalty, but then I leave the starting area and it all goes to shit and my designs suck ass. Need to play it more is all, I think. EDIT: Also, half my games end when the...

I think most boss rewards are fine. There's a few outliers that clearly have a shitty drop table for whatever reason (Mountain Ledge?), but that's certainly not the rule. I mean if you build a hyper map/delve focused character and find it more profitable to skip bosses, that's a personal choice.

Haha, this kid has no idea what forum he's on. I play PoE casually, it's not something I'm even remotely competitive with, but he's gonna spend at least 6 months trying to beat me, and probably won't.

Steam Community :: James EDIT: Oh hey, a screenshot from this league.

Won't know until the patch notes drop, but anything self-cast has been typically underpowered compared to using it in a trap/totem/mine/poet's pen.

If you can even hit T15 maps in Hardcore in your first league, I'll be very highly impressed.

The level of competition for firsts in PoE is far more advanced than in Diablo 3, good luck.

Comparing GGG to SOE? Harsh, bro.

They talked about that issue specifically in the same podcast he mentioned the new character models. Jonathan hinted that in the new system it's definitely possible to choose the gender of your character, but didn't say if it was a direction they were likely to go in.

Yes, you can link your skills to blood magic if you don't have Chaos Innoculation, use Soul Taker if your primary skill is an attack, or up reduced mana cost of skills to 100% (no one does this). Alternately, you can reduce the amount of mana those skills reserve through the passive skill tree...

Jonathan Rogers (tech director at GGG) has already confirmed this is happening. They've hired an entire team of people whose job for like the past year has been to re-rig items to the new character models. Should be dropping next year, I think we'll get a 3.6 and then go to 4.0 but I could be...

Do you stick to the books with big letters and pictures? How now, brown cow?

Ooo yeah, I'll bet you're top 10 at online tic tac toe. Grats.

Good thing you can only have 8 hotkeys in PoE then. Diablo 3 nerfed the shit out of potions because they think their playerbase is too retarded to handle them. Are you accepting that you are one of those retards?

It's like if you choose to play a game built from the ground up for retards because it's pretty, over an incredibly deep, complex game because it's less pretty, you might just be a retard looking for a justification.

They get listed on the official trade site and poe.trade the exact same way, through the character API. So if I set one of my tabs to be a selling tab, it will show up on both sites equally, but the official site doesn't list if you're AFK in game or not. Putting on /dnd will drop you from...

Yep.

I don't know how you can claim D3 had a good story with a straight face at all. I only played the beta up to level 13 or whatever it was, but holy shit the cringe from Skeleton King was enough for me to never look at it again.

I sold my Vagan crafted dagger and 6L Voll's leagues ago :(. Still got the Devotion, tho.

Is Winter Orb not a support gem like Mirage Archer? I thought it was.

I prefer poedb: PoEDB: Exile Chronicles

There's an option called Advanced Item Info, you need to turn that on. Once that's on, you can hold alt while hovering on an item, and it will break down which mods you have, what tier they are, and if they're a prefix or suffix. Life/ES and resists are mods you want as close to T1 as...

Not only with a brain, but with heart and courage as well. Chris Wilson is probably the best CEO on the planet.

Wait until you see how GGG operates.

You should run yellow maps, but yeah I'd grind them out to T10 which should put you somewhere in the mid 80s if you don't die a whole lot, and then hit up Atziri again.

Nah, you just need some levels and experience. That character can do Atziri as is right now, but it'll be harder due entirely to character and gem levels. Take that same character back with no gear upgrades at 90 and watch shit melt.

You need to get rid of the Carnage Heart, new gloves, boots, and helm. Since you're cursing yourself, you should pick up a well rolled Self-Flagellation (edit: woops, missed it in the tree), but tbh I'd drop the Soul Mantle, pick up a Cloak of Defiance and Mind Over Matter, ditch the Kikazaru's...

Yeah, but how often do you die? Personally, I hate dying in PoE, even on softcore, it wastes a shitload of time, so to me even 40% more damage isn't worth dying for. Probably why I like HC so much, forces you to have a build that can run most or every map mod safely.

To expand on what Korrupt said, a lot of end game farming efficiency comes down to figuring out a build that can run almost or every map mod safely, which items are worth it to pick up so you don't waste time at the vendor, and setting up a stream of maps to run beforehand. It's not that...

Yeah, if I'm lucky I'll get it in the 70s or 80s, but it's usually 90+ before I get a 6L.

It's not nonsense at all, you don't need a 6L to complete anything but the hardest of content and they're pretty hard to roll = luxury item. I haven't used a Tabula in like a year, even for leveling, I corrupt them and sell off the good ones and vendor the bad ones for a free divine. EDIT...

Not anymore. It used to be that using a fusing on a piece of gear would consume the quality on it, so if you wanted the best chance at a 6L you needed to roll it to 20% every time -- on a rare that's a shitload of armor scraps, so typically you 6L'd white and then rolled/chanced what you...

That's what I meant to phrase it as! But I generate about 200 fusings a day playing fairly casually, so I don't buy fusings in-league hardly ever, and my linking strategy is to save up about 300 and then stop rolling at the first 5L below 150 fusings. Generally speaking this gets me to a 6L in...

A 6L should be thought of as a luxury, you only really need it for guardians/shaper/uber elder. 5L isn't too hard to get usually, if you spend more than 150 fusings getting a 5L you got a raw deal. Buying a 6L should be one of the last things you do with your gear at that price point, i.e. if...

The trio can be the hardest thing in there if you don't have the damage to blow them up. Kill order generally goes spike rain bitch first, then the dual striker that lights himself on fire, and then the big cycloning sword guy last, but you might swap the last two depending on your character...

This is on Standard, not really looking to sell it, but like I'm only missing a good amulet (probably also from chaos spamming) for an RF build and then I think I can pull off a pretty beefy one. Every time I have to do an uberlab on Standard to test a character out I throw some enchants on it...

Was trying to hit Conc Effect + Immolate just casually chaos spamming a helm, but I ended up with this. Is an evasion helm OK for Righteous Fire?

Endless mode is out, needs some work though I think. Once you make it past the third storm, nothing really challenges you because by that point you should have enough resource diversity + stockpiled to survive the random storm effects. It never gets colder than -120 degrees Celsius, and at...
