Don't buy this early, and don't play if you don't have friends to Squad with. That's my summation of this game. It CAN be fun, but the fun spurts are surrounded on all sides by instantly dying to bad spawns, vehicles you have 0 chance of killing, and having the "wrong" gun. Nothing beats...

Divergent Melee Splash btw is a really good way to go if you HAVE to use it with a skill like Flicker or melee Frenzy. The quality on it reduces the penalty from it to 0. Was much more useful before they added a bunch of additional strike options, but still good for those who might need it...

So many of these new games could solve a lot of their problems ahead of launch with just long term or multi phase open/closed betas. Like, they're worried it won't be a good example of the game because it's still being worked on, but it seems they have very limited internal testing or there's...

Thank you for your service.

Well, the game is better than the beta, that's for sure. It's still buggy, but it's not unenjoyable which beta was by far. The biggest problem I have is the fucking 2002G error that doesn't let me or anyone I play with match-make to their default servers. They said "we're working on it!" and...

I pre-ordered it at 60 dollars, played the beta, gave them feedback, then DIDN'T refund it. I still can't play until next week unless I pay another 30 dollars. Oh fucking kay dude.

One of the stat trackers says 255 ex for Hateforge. I remember it mostly being 30-80ex, but that's before the lightning strike shit went out and people knew what they could do with it specifically. 300ex this early is pretty nutty, but also means it's potentially worth less total chaos because...

In my experience with Spec Helix the +1 rotation really wasn't that big of a deal considering the size of the circle to begin with. Honestly it only mattered for very clustered open areas OR, weirdly, incredibly tight areas where you essentially got an extra bounce on beefy mobs. The weird...

I thought I'd read that got green-lit, but Villuenueve was upset about the whole initial launch of things who knows what he'll do. Artists and tantrums go hand in hand. Still would like to see it for sure.

Never read books, watched movie. Pretty good. Great visuals/soundtrack of course. Characters weren't bad, world building was nice. Would be hilarious if it never got Part 2 as the ultimate blue balls. I'd say 8/10.

Harvest is the crux of the game and has been for many leagues now. For better or worse. It allows me to make the gear I need personally and it allows me to make money making items I think people may want. It also can feel super daunting when you don't "need" anything and you hit a Harvest in...

Great episode. What a shit minibar setup. There's like 2 items they mention that aren't just like total trash. The middler thing was pretty good too.

I played the absolute shithole of a beta and didn't refund because I thought SOMETHING would come out of this game. Maybe I'm right. I didn't see any Hardline stuff in there though, unfortunately.

You're right I forgot the ES is taken after the 50% reduction. So his weapon looks like this: Approximately, and you have to manually import it into PoB as PoB doesn't work with Energy Blade at all right now. That's why all the PoE Ninja stuff with Energy Blades looks like garbage...

https://poe.ninja/challenge/builds/char/ChenJianHua1990/MaxRoy?i=3&search=allskill%3DEnergy-Blade Think his ES puts his EB at like 300 to 6000ish flat lightning.

Meta is shifting all over. Occultist #1 in softcore trade now. Third class to take the spot. Going to be some very interesting builds coming out with new masteries. Would be even more if the new uniques like Squire were more accessible. I had the idea to do a str stacking Geofri's...

Steelskin grants immunity to bleed now as well. The guard tree under Duelist allows you to remove bleed/corrupting blood when you use a guard skill as well. The low-key best option I've found for stun or bleed is to get the 30% mod on abyssal jewels/implicit regular jewels and either get 2 and...

For fast food, outside of novelty items like the McRib, Angry Whopper, whatever Hardees specialty that looks good, you just go for value menu in bulk. That's the key. Buying 4 burgers at $1.50 each is going to be way better than buying one meal with one slightly fancier burger for 2-3x the...

OoW and beyond it becomes the optimized group shit show. Gotta have a bard with epic 2.0 and shaman with epic 2.0 and gotta do em both at once during the burn phase with the right disciplines. Casters don't get nearly the power from 2.0s that melee do so it really starts to get very...

Most of us alpha testers said basically, "Yeah, you could launch but you probably shouldn't." I don't think we expected the shitstorm of bugs that is occurring and rather the slower pace of endgame content and the regular MMOer asking "WHERE IS RAID", but yeah. They should've put it back in the...

Nah, T14 just regular Delirium with Al-Hazmin influence. He did have 50% attack speed mods on it. Here's the video: It's not a god-tier build, but it's just one of those builds I think is easier to make than most people would expect and does pretty well versus all content right now...

I'm on my 3rd character now because I just can't stand dying to oneshot bullshit in 100+ scourge stuff. I think people are mostly figuring it out and checking with PoE Ninja the consensus seems to be: Armor + Determination (47% of league were running it on PoENinja list, lolz) + Molten Shell...

Shock of Many is a 45 (90?) second cooldown that adds flat damage per pet ANYONE has on a target. It may be bugged and it's supposed to add damage after scaling from focuses etc, but it's not. It's adding it to the base damage so you have Mages nuking for like almost 80k crits and the only...

The better your guilds dps is, the worse Necros are passed 70. We're just now getting fights in SoF where Necros are parsing top 3 because they're very, very long fights so they can keep their dots stacked and rolling. Before that even our very competent Necros couldn't crack top 5 or even top...

This. I play bow/spear and 1v1 I can annoy you and maybe kill you if I engage, but I'm not beating a lot of specs because I basically have one weapon. The bow is a no-go outside of openers in a 1v1 situation. But I use it to slow people down and protect backline/healers in group PVP where it...

PVP meta is great axe/hammer, lifestaff/sword, spear/bow, fire/ice, life/ice, and axe/hatchet. The lifestaff/x shit is mostly for open world soloers just trying to stay alive. In War you'll see more of what I listed.

Besides ilvl on items, it's pretty much worth it just using good layout white tier maps, juicing them to the brink and then running them. Probably the most loot you can net quickly since Heist. Expedition came close, but only with logbooks. Absolutely retarded amount of reward though.

So weapon swapping causing durability is actually not constant. My friend would lose 1 durability everytime he swapped, and I did not. The only thing I can think of is if there's a perk or trait that activates on switching that then causes you to "use" the weapon. Didn't test it out too much...

Retention numbers don't mean shit until about 3-4 weeks in. Also this is probably the worst time they could've had for a launch with a lot of games coming out (BF, Halo, Lost Ark, etc). Usually they launch early December and crush it. Changes should be good, probably not enough for a lot of...

My friend is Vaal RF Jugg, he's #2 I believe for RF Juggs in the league. It clears like a king, but the single target even with Scorching Ray is non-existent. He had the highest DPS on PoE Ninja too. He tried A8 Sirus and in 13 minutes he couldn't kill him. Lost in Phase 3 due to getting...

Wars are only 8-9 minutes if you win it that fast which at this point is basically impossible. It's going the full 30 minutes more often than not. Open World PVP is definitely lackluster except for contesting territory. No point in doing it outside of maybe easy weapon exp in a zerg or...

Scourge system could certainly see some clean up. Feels like they just needed to add X amount of affixes and in doing so they fucked the chances of getting anything truly beneficial for most people. Reduced Stun Threshold shouldn't even be in game, boneshatter or not, it's just fucking awful...

Scourge has some VERY ripe Spectre potential. If you check the PoE DB stats for some of them, like the Fallen Angels that lightning zap you, they do BIG fucking damage and some have CD abilities which sucks, but some are just attack speed. Probably some new meta specs coming in. I've been...

Twitch Rivals is New World Outpost right now. Considering very few people got to play Outpost before it was removed, might be interesting to check out if you're curious how their only BG is:

Finished it last night, was okay. Over-hyped. The main character had that overly-animated, overly-exaggerated, no person in real life is like him thing that makes most Asian shows, Anime especially, completely unwatchable for me. It's like in the east everyone's supposed to be stoic and quiet...

Yeah this. I'd love to hear 2 instances of a gold dupe getting shut down in less than 6 hours. I can think of SEVERAL that persisted for 1-2 days before they got hit and some that lasted weeks. I mean, fucking EQ TLP's have a new one every few months that lasts a week+ every time. If they...

The entire game starts at 60.

You have to have one to make a sale order by going down your inventory list and finding it. Then you can see how many are up for sale currently and make a buy order as well.

It's incredibly convuluted. You need the item yourself. Then you make a sell order. That will show you the other ones up for sale (your local region only). Then you have to look at the price and literally MANUALLY scroll through the item pages looking for the exact gold amount. Then you can...

They added a bunch of +strike to the tree and added some very powerful Masteries for it. +3 strike and one that gives you +30% range of strikes if they target multiple enemies.
