Wait until the next story quest requires 2k+ prestige more to access the area.

It is, the PvP is terrible. However you still get forced into it sometimes to get the rewards you want.

Thats how mmos have been designed for a decade and they are all shit. Ill pass on the a la carte model. The funniest part about the soft target locking is pvp. Go into a FFA match and youll just see people spamming skills with no attention at all to who they hit. Speaking of PvP, executes in...

I dont understand why these 'action combat' games want to basically make you play tab target. If your going to give me free flowing combat like that, let me aim my own shit.

Its basically what Fogel said. Comes down to build and map layouts. On a second character, ill have currency to twink myself out pretty well for a great clear speed and a stash tab full of the good maps.

After your first character, you can hit 88 in less than 24 hours played. HC ladder is also usually higher level than the SC one, mostly because the top people havnt died once and lost xp.

I hated it in beta and it didnt change at all with the map 'improvements' going into live. When I was map running I was spending as much time trading to be able to roll maps as I spent in the maps themselves. I feel really bad for the people who are going to be trying to run these in a few weeks...

Offensive totem spells are limited to flame totem and shockwave totem which can be purchased by a handful of classes each at lvl 4(act 1 glyphs quest) and lvl 28(act 3 kill gravicius quest). Any spell can be made a totem spell however with the Spell Totem support gem.

That sounds unlikely, the skeletons dont do any damage. Also insta-heal on low life pots are terrible. Im not saying that act 4 doesnt do crazy damage, it does, but the skeletons in that fight only tickle. Its more likely you didnt see what killed you in that mess of skeletons, a...

I didnt raid with them in those, checked out of Wildstar in the beta. I think they raided with Voodoo? They would have had more running with them in WoW. Kingfly, Nihilism and Etup are the ones that come to mind.

You know you miss my shit eating grin.

it got nerfed pretty hard already.

I have to think that if they will put up with cybrix they will put up with anyone.

None that dont have the good sense to avoid a $20 hookers ass.

Ive been playing with Bob and the mumblebros for years now. I played with Kripp back in D3 and came over to PoE with the crew since the start. [Path of Exile] World First Level 81 HC Open Beta (The Only One That Matters) - YouTube

Day 3. Annoying day, mapping is still terrible and hasnt improved much since beta. Spent most the day running 70-71s as a mid 80 character. Had to start yolo alcing 71s to make any progress into 72-73s. Its starting to remind me a lot of nemesis when you had to blow a ton of currency on maps to...

Especially with tempests you dont want to look away. Lots of random elemental effects that chunk you pretty hard. Day 2 went pretty well. Chaining Zanas with a 20 rogue exile tempest on one and a +50% xp tempest map chain done.

20 exiles per zone is actually one of the tempests. Got it earlier in my group chaining Zana dailies. It was pretty fun. The problem with tempest is the fun zones like that are far to rare and the annoying ones (covert all damage to chaos, frozen ground, shocked ground, etc) are far too common.

So not a bad first day in Tempest. Overall the league is shit. Best way Ive heard it described is that the best part of the league is that its not active 50% of the time.

Noone knows, all we have is a statement from Rory saying its going to be nerfed. Even then the statement was half joke so were not sure its getting changed at all. Have to wait for the patch notes to see.

I dont think hes way overtuned. The damage is manageable, lots of adds to refill potions with too. My only complaint about the fight is it just takes forever to finish on normal and cruel. They need to cut his hp a bit.

New bosses are pretty real threats. Hopefully they leave them like this until the race for the laptops are over so its not just a straight up rush into merciless Malachai.

Armor is in a better place than it used to be and your right that they adjusted the formula, they just didnt go far enough. After 77-78 maps you really start to see armor failing you again and realize you can wear a lightning coil and gain more real mitigation at 0 skill point cost.

Its no secret that the armor formula in PoE is broken. Going armor isnt worth the investment by the time your doing high level maps and have the retarded uniques available to you. In 2.0 nothing about that has changed. Supports and uniques like fortify, lightning coil, taste of hate give much...

damage is high in 2.0, easiest thing is to have meat shields. Summoners or totems. Other than that melee is in a good spot with the fortify support gem. Cyclone in particular is strong even with mediocre weapons.

Likely more than anyone here. Armor will help survive a bunch of small hits in a low time frame but even in beta the .6 duration of IC on cwdt is better for that. It wont however save you from the stuff thats going to one shot you just because of the shitty armor mechanics in the game. You just...

If youre playing an armor version of anything, youre doing it wrong. Same thing with crit. Very few skills scale well without going crit.

This is exactly what Im saying, everything scales the same couple ways. Any summoner could be run off the same build and still be viable, so much so that you only need to swap a handful of points between the builds.

First thing first, 10 points is an obvious hyperbole but it is true that builds follow generic skill trees now just because all the nodes for scaling are so localized. If youre playing a caster, your optimal build is in shadow templar and witch. If youre playing a melee, your optimal build is...

Ya and thats a shitty static strike build which is also using the old passive tree which ultimately goes to prove what I was saying. Also goes to show that noone plays that build since its a 6 month old thread with basically no replies. Its all in all a great example for me. Thanks.

Did you really just link a build that uses the exact same passive tree for lightning strike and static strike? I mean ... seriously?

Looking at this, lightning strike doesnt get played in any reasonable way so who cares. Ground slam and Static Strike are literally the same build, so much so that if they use the same weapon the build would be 100% the same which just goes to show the problem. Its 100x worse in spell caster...

Honestly I find the beta to be a step backwards in PoE. Back in an interview the skill designer gave with Ziggy (forgot which one he is), he said he kept new skills simple so its easier to balance and its really easy to see in the new skills added and reworks of old skills. Everything scaling in...

Logged in for the first time in two months. I feel lost lol.

Any time your going to have a massive spike of players youll have issues. You cant plan for that spike, you have to plan for the more consistent numbers.

im in that video! yay!
