    No, I knew that. The problem I'm highlighting affects more than just melee.

    I think I've decided I don't like playing this game. With builds that have to stand still to dps. Which is almost all of them. Stuck a meatsack allflame on my pedestrian T8. A rare meatsack got possessed and he became unkillable. If I stopped to dps him, he would eat up all my life flask...

    I think there's legitimate issues with supply and demand affecting the prices of build-enabling uniques. I hope no one is playing a build that requires Nimis. Or even the content you like to do costs 10x more because "the word is out". Otherwise, the game has been rewarding enough that you...

    I said the game was new-player-unfriendly, not that you were new to the game. You're acting like a new player. And an asshat.

    The real question is: would Ossoi play a notoriously new-player-unfriendly game just so he could have a new thread to ruin?

    This is how they get people to play SSF. Not by making it reasonable to farm all build-enabling uniques, but by making participating in the trade economy as distasteful as possible.

    This seems like a really easy way to devolve into dependency hell. Gonna update this minor unrelated package...oops, now my glibc changed! I'll admit that I look at this from the perspective of someone that likes to keep to stable environment for reproducability. Bleeding edge distros are...

    I refuse to believe Chris' claims of optimization. I'd also love to see how much shit is constantly churning through shader cache compared to a "regular" game. Yes, I'm still salty about having to buy a new rig for this game. Doesn't feel justified.

    Shouldn't LE fill that role now? Or playing some other game? Or touching grass? Or taking a nap? I think I'd rather get some work done around the house than play D4.

    Last Epoch

    A lot of builds in PoE come online post campaign. The concept of a league starter exists partially because your preferred build will not function without certain pieces of loot or a minimum amount of investment. They actually just made this "worse" as a handful of uniques got moved to their...

    That's going to be a second build of the league for me. I started Archmage Ball Lightning but I'm rerolling due to some jank. I could fix some by switching to something like Arc. Ball Lightning is too slow, my slow-ass Templar outruns his own dps. That is both frustrating and dangerous...

    What do you mean exactly? PoE maps and LE echoes are at least partially procedurally generated.

    I believe the uproar is from a very recent increase to the subscription price. The initial subscription was well received as it enabled something customers couldn't get before. Increasing the price looks greedy even if it's a legitimate cost of doing business. I have no idea which one it...

    I'm actually annoyed that they added QOL to the morgue being full because now it means I can't click that fucking corpse icon off my screen. This league, so far, feels like a bit of map juice and that's it. The opportunity cost involved with the morgue crafting makes it feelsbadman. My...

    Non-archmage mana stacker was already expensive. And pre-3.24, non-archmage was the only way to stack mana to any worthwhile degree.

    I'm not sure how DD of Scavenging is even playable since you can't use it on corpses from skills.

    Other way around. Frostbolt is going in the hat. Triggering Ice Nova seems like a waste because you can't get any animationless repeats. Of all the 1-2 builds, I think it's the only one that functions reasonably well where the 6L damage skill is triggering the 4L support skill.

    Arcane Cloak doesn't cost anything. It doesn't interact at all with changes to cost. I was planning to use the -18% exposure mastery. I would like to use a Mark with the 25% inversion mastery, but that doesn't seem in the cards for Archmage builds at a low gear level. LW is experimental. If...

    Kitava's Thirst is essentially QoL. LW into a pack, hit IN. Not dead yet? Keep hitting IN. FB will eventually proc and they'll fall over. The answer is always close with enemies, hit them with IN. Never that guessing game "Is this rare chunky enough to warrant an Arcanist Brand?". I'll...

    CoC doesn't work because it obviates the bonus from Spell Echo repeats. CWDT might work, but at that point, might as well go full ward loop. I did try this morning planning out a PoB. I got 13M dps on league starter gear, minus the Kitava's Thirst obviously. I couldn't find a way to use...

    Meta's already on DD archmage. I've tried a lot of variants of it over the years, never been quite satisfied with a solution to the 1-2 combo. The corpse requirement almost always adds an unsatisfactory delay to clearing. Ice nova and Frostbolt have always been strong, it's the clunk that has...

    Why do you doubt competitiveness despite Ventrua's results? As for why bother: I think that's a different discussion. I fully agree that it's demoralizing for them to make short-sighted changes that disproportionately affect different build archetypes. One of those, melee, already being in a...

    So make the concessions. It's certainly not dead and remains competitive as it was Ventrua's best run. I don't know how much the Tabula contributed to that. He was not using a 4 socket for damage, that was in his chest slot. The point is just to show that his 3.23 run is valid for 3.24...

    Are we discussing league start or a level 100 decked out character? I thought we were discussing the former but the latter is what Carn uses in his video. My point about the 4 socket weapon was to show that those 1-2 sockets are there if you need it.
