    Yeah, a league will only drop one version of maps, but there's been several versions of maps throughout the years that are now obsolete. Original maps only went up to 78 and had crazy mods on them like +50% pack size -- you can still roll those, even though the pack size mods don't show up...

    Depends on what you mean by 'viable', but 2h is in a really bad spot right now. Stat sticks/shields are just too good to think an extra 5/6L makes up for it.

    Deadeye Toxic Rain + Herald of Agony was pretty popular as a starter this league. EDIT: Oh it was Pathfinder, whatever. Deadeye would work too I'm sure.

    Nah, shaping maps is accounted for in the design, but a non-shaped T14 Courthouse and a non-shaped T4 Courthouse in the same map tab shouldn't be possible. They've required a new Map Tab version every time they've updated maps so far.

    You have to select the version of the Map Tab you want to use, which I think is like original maps, Ascendancy maps, and War for Atlas maps right now. In a new league, you'll only have one version of maps so it doesn't matter.

    You do get full resets on Standard every time there's a patch.

    Depends on what you pick to start with. The default option is you've crash landed from an advanced civilization and need to start over, so they had electricity and space flight and whatnot but no need for bows and arrows.

    Neversink's is the most comprehensive, and there's various ways you can set it up so that it's easy. I used to use Antnee's before all the sound/highlighting changes, but she hasn't updated it in forever so I had to drop it :(. Outside of that, making your own is probably the best bet.

    Anything priced in Exalted Orbs is expensive, they tend to go for about 100c to 1ex. Saving up 30-50c usually isn't too hard, so I consider anything in that price range to be affordable. It can be very hard to save money if your build is bad.

    I've never played a skeleton build, not sure how effective it'd be. The items aren't too bad generally, Astramentis can be expensive depending on the meta, but like right now on Delve they're 20c. Seven league step is super expensive and totally not required, Alberon's Warpath should be fine...

    Loreweave will be crazy expensive in a new league for sure. A good 1h for Consecrated Path will also be expensive, but that's for things like Shaper/Elder/T16s. Delve helmets with the -9 fire resist might also not be available next league, but I don't think they've shared when/how Delve will...

    Dominating Blow Guardian is fairly cheap and will take you a long ways if you're looking at minions, but it's far from the best or only minion build.

    I had five of them in an insulated room at the top of my base, but I wasn't generating enough hydrogen to feed my hydrogen generators, and not enough oxygen to feed my base.

    That's the beautiful part about vanilla WoW, if you want to start over you really need 40 more people to do it. It's an entirely different experience every single time, just as good as the first time.

    Tried to do my first oxygen elctrolyzer setup yesterday, but it failed spectacularly and my colony died. I think the problem was the space was too enclosed, gonna try it being more open today and earlier.

    It's an especially important skill to master if you have setup abilities like Frost Bomb, Orb of Storms, Ancestral Warchief, etc, but trap/mine style play is huge on should I throw this now or later. Resource constraints tend to be built around, there's just a ton of options so unless you built...

    Which is totally wrong, just go watch videos of the pros play and try to copy exactly what they're doing. End-game encounters take tons of time to learn, and how you build your character to complete that content is 100% based on your "do I use this now or do I use this later" decision making...

    You should re-roll on Delve, whatever you end up doing there will get rolled into Standard at the end of the league.

    God, this is such dogshit logic. You're just not getting it, and we've said it a dozen different times in a dozen different ways. There is no "efficient" way to play the game that doesn't take YOUR SKILL into account directly. I'm talking whatever mojo it is that you feel like makes you a...

    Yeah, if you're arguing about a game where class design is on-rails to fulfill specific raid requirements ala WoW, sure, you might swing this argument if you're a Blizzard dev with their head shoved so far up their ass it makes sense. But this is not even remotely an argument in PoE, where...

    And I'm telling you that you're totally wrong. Just because you have to know how to stack damage multipliers and defense layers doesn't mean player skill still isn't a huge factor in this game. It's absurd to suggest the only thing that separates your average player from Mathil or Ziz or Havoc...

    This is a common line of thinking from people who suck, but it's not actually the case at all. Player skill absolutely has a huge impact on what you can do with any given build, and the whole point of your build is that it represents *your* play style. You can play a super fast auto-bombing...

    They're great design, though. In the grand scheme of things, both classes filled a very important niche for their factions. If players didn't feel impactful in their raids because they were hitting buff GCDs instead of heal GCDs, that's not on the design.
