    I think they were just normalizing those/making them more balanced. For example now Cleave is the same as ground slam. Ground slam being 4% and Cleave being 3% didn't make much sense for example. It's still a buff, and an easy to do one so that's nice. It's obviously not the main issue with...

    They released the patch notes for 10.2, it will go live later today or tomorrow if they run into a bug stopping issue. http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/227309 Quite a few melee buffs, mostly via improving the duellist area a lot(which will improve most melees around it), slight...

    Her ulti lasts 5secs. After that yeah you're kinda fucked, you might be able to splitshot them down as they spawn but most likely you won't and once the numbers are too big it'll splitshot randomly and not kill shit anymore and you're oom in 3secs at that point and dead. I don't think she's a PL...

    Hmm unless there's mechanics I'm not aware of, you're never going to get illusions that can survive the gaze(assuming equal/close levels). It does 1500dmg at 16 and illusions takes +350% dmg, so they take 6750dmg premitigation and even with the magic resist on phantom edge, you're still looking...

    In case someone missed it btw, they posted about next week's patch. Bunch of stuff as expected, seems they're done with the "release" rush so they're going back to making actual patches now. http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/vie.../213675/page/1

    It shocks on hits with static blows too, and the quality on LA increases the likelyhood it actually does since it increases shock duration(so lower treshold to shock).

    Path of Exile

    LA scales stupidly because every hit creates an aoe that hits every target, with chain that means 3 AoE per shot and with LMP that's 9 AoEs per shot, that will hit every mob once each if they're packed enough. It leads to really stupid stuff and it melts packs of mobs really fast especially...

    Maps drop rates are definitely not affected by groups, it'd suck if it were since that's basically force you to group. However what is affected is currency drops, and currency is extremely important once you want to progress further than 85 or so since you start having to chaos all your maps...

    That sounds actually pretty cheap, expected more than that especially for the spiders. Main issue I see with these reskins is I don't see how they're going to reskin melee abilities. Even ranged attacks to an extent, but like how would you reskin cleave, do you just add fancy lightnings or...

    I think they'd probably sell more if they were cheaper, but eh whatever I don't really care, only bought a bunch of stash tabs, still have a few points left so I might get a shitty cosmetic effect or whatever and maybe I'll buy more points if they reskin a spell I like. I wouldn't really buy...

    Yeah I don't know, if there were database leaks and shit, there would be so many more people getting hacked. They'd just automate the process and loot accounts 100 by 100, but unless a lot of people don't say anything when they get hacked, this is just not the case. There's a normal amount of...

    Why Ys?

    Well in Oath and Origins, the story wasn't the strong point so doubt it's very useful. I guess you see the early parts of the saga. Didn't know combat wasn't the same, probably won't bother then, the thing that really made Oath and Origins(but mostly Oath) great games was the insane combat...

    Why Ys?

    Are the chronicles any good? Seems they're new so they're still a bit expensive, I'll wait for a sale but just wondering for when they go on sale. I played Origins and Oath in Felghana already.

    You type dota_range_display x(not sure what the max range on bear is nowadays, 900? 1200? anyway you type that). Might need to adjust range since it might start from your hitbox borders instead of the center so it might be like 30 units further or whatever. If you want to automate the process...

    Was it really numpad? Fuck it's been so long I have no idea how I was playing FFXI, other than the menus were clunky as fuck and the pace was like one action every 6secs.

    Triple "supports" trilane are generally strong as fuck, because it's all heroes that are very strong in lane due to early scaling and shit, and since no one's a squishy asshole with no damage or CC like the people you usually support, it becomes a rapefest as soon as you can pull the trigger...

    Well movement is one thing, but there's also targetting. Targetting without a mouse, meaning with a stick, is pretty shitty. I guess if you're used to it it's not so bad but placing aoes and shit is gonna be annoying as fuck I think if you want to quickly drop one in another position. At the...

    Yeah I know about the text entry but that's fucking horrible to type shit with and last I played D3, you had to spend a decent amount of time doing AH stuff anyway. I guess having a keyboard or those chatpad things would help a lot but it seems pretty shitty, doing multiple AH searches in a row...

    Friend of mine was invited and he didn't buy the game at release, not even sure he was in the original beta before it launched because I think I told him not to bother.

    The real question is how do you use the auction house with a gamepad? Are you gonna write stuff on the touchpad and it recognizes text or will you need a keyboard?

    Well Lightning Arrow will be affected by physical % for sure since it converts your physical dmg. So if you hit for 20% more physical dmg, LA will do 20% more damage. However the elemental dmg % passives will also affect it since it also does lightning damage. Now if you have the choice between...

    Part of the reason yeah but it's also to do with LA mechanics when coupled with typical projectile aoe supports. Let's take an easy example, Fireball vs LA. If you fork/chain/pierce fireball, it loses its aoe property on most of the targets. If you fork/chain/pierce LA, it still creates an aoe...

    Well to be honest, had there been a breach of security on GGG's end, you'd see hackings by the thousands, not by the dozens like you see now. It seems like the standard phishing/trojan/old password+email previously stolen combo that seems to plague every new game. It was like that for Diablo3...

    I still have a PS2 somewhere in one of the boxes I haven't opened when I moved in, and I'll still have my PS3 in 5years so retrocompatibility I don't really care about, but I guess if I didn't have a PS3 I'd be interested in it so I could maybe pick up games I didn't play. Then again I don't...

    Yep the issues with the gem however is well the fact it's a gem so that's one link you can't use on something else, and the cost increase which makes EA costs like 180health per shot instead of like 75, so with a blood magic gem you're forced into using LMP or GMP and Life gain on hit too to...

    It's fine to have 2 abilities, one for single and one for aoe, a lot of builds do especially archer builds since LA is fucking shit at single target DPS. Some use Frenzy, some use Elemental Hit.

    Well she will destroy your zombies in ice shot form I think, but I think just spamming skele totem and enfeeble should kill her fairly easy from minion instability, albeit slowly. If she goes fire form a couple of times in a row early in the fight though, your zombies might just rip her apart...

    Meh, don't really care but will still buy one cause there's too many PS3 exclusives that I liked playing and I figure it'll be the same with this one. Might wait for price to drop first though, kinda depends on the initial price tag and what games they release with.

    Merciless Piety down, easy fight, I think Vaal was scarier actually. She has so little health when I started shooting 5charges EAs in her face she dropped in seconds, I was just wary of the adds and her going iceshot berzerk on me so I didn't kill her that fast, but basically 5x explosive...

    Well I guess it's dual totems so it's safer, but still you need a fair amount of ES before you can venture into maps because if you do get hit, you still get hit very hard and if you only have like 2000ES, it's extremely risky I think. But yeah I guess it's not that gear dependent vs health...

    There's isnt really anything "clever" about this build, seems a fairly cookie cutter CI dual totem build, with spectres.

    There are balance issues though for the late late game, in terms of comparing the defensive stats. Health > Everything else basically at 80+. Armor and Evasion are both unreliable and not very strong and ES is virtually health but unless you have really great gear health is better due to the...
