Updated my guide thingie on page 7. Asked Draegan if he could move the post but it's apparently not possible, he suggested making a new thread with the guide as first post and closing this one/linking it to the new one. Thoughts? And Sparko I can log in fine.

Yeah that sounds a bit harder to do but at the same time in a lot of my "off builds" I didn't even grab all the big +30 nodes I had access to anyway. Also it probably means you'll have to consider going through the middle more, that area is ripe with good passives and all stats, it's just rarely...

Minions nerf, kinda expected but wondering if they got it right. Probably still gonna go summoner first for safety to check act3 anyway. CI changes look interesting along with ES nodes buff, but that also comes with several ES items nerfs, so no idea if it'll be worth it at all or not. Better...

Well based on alpha, there's a ton of nerfs you can expect to some of the most OP builds. Some nerfs won't really change all that much besides making stuffmore in line, others kinda ruin the builds. Off the top of my head, the biggest changes are gonna be CI, which should still be the single...

They said they'll discuss the item shop stuff plans today, along with OB notes. I already bought a bunch of stash tabs from beta and also because I figured there's a solid chance this shit won't work at launch and it sucks when you run out of stash tabs(granted the base amount is good enough...

Yep Chris said so even in the post about OB, and yesterday on Reddit he was saying how he enjoyed playing the game of "watch as the website traffic doubles every couple of hours". The game wasn't very known a month ago but it seems the promotions they've been doing, the various reviews and the...

Probably gonna grab 2.0 myself, I think the last time I watched the original GITS it was on VHS, which scares me a little bit as to how fucking long ago that was. That's like when I had just started watching anime(other than the stuff on TV like db/dbz, saint seiya, city hunter, grendizer...

Yeah it's kinda alternative universes kind of shit. I don't remember most of it cause it was so many years ago but I liked the TV show, could probably just watch the 2 movies they made on the main arcs of each series though instead of the whole thing. Only order you need to follow is original...

They get low priority if they fuck around too much but sometimes players will just give up on one single game or have to go afk for irl reasons(real ones that is) and reporting them won't do anything cause well, it happened once in 500games, he's not gonna get banned for that. When you get...

I added a section on various keys combination shortcuts and what not.

Right but at the end of the day you're still using potential good rares to get something you can get out of blues. Doing one clear of Felshrine(from Chruch to the entrance, zigzaging a bit but not 100%) I'd usually get 2 bags full of blues when I was farming for alts. Just sell those and you get...

You can get a ton of transmutes just looting blues and selling them too, so there's no point in selling unids yellows when they could have godly stats. Also if they have 6 stats, they sell for something, I forgot what, chance maybe? It's in the link I provided. To be honest, I haven't sold a...

Open beta guide for new players, I'll try to keep each point short, but whole post is pretty long. What class to make? Doesn't matter. Like really, doesn't matter. Classes are only defined by their starting stats(which are VERY low so the difference is like NOTHING), their quest rewards...

What's interesting is how quickly the game is growing, now that the open beta is getting close and they've done a bit of promotion/reviews and stuff. Sadly it also means there's probably going to be server issues for open beta now. Otherwise I don't think it's that crazy to see some people...

Caliane, on spells: Firestorm is really good, mostly with concentrated effect which is THE support for any spell labelled as aoe really, because it's a multiplicative damage increase(it says more damage and not increased damage) vs the usual additive, so it almost doubles the dmg. Generally...

There's GITS Stand Alone Complex, which is a TV anime series. It's in 2 parts of 26episodes each, the second one is called 2nd Gig and then a single special TV movie "episode" called Solid State Society. That's it really, there's the mangas and stuff too but animation wise, only the first movie...

I disagree. I mean I see what you're saying, but if all your meepos are low health, that means the enemy team can nuke any of them equally without fucking up. If all your meepos are down, you can't just run away with the one that's low and keep fighting, you have to run all of them or keep...

Hopefully they just wanted to recenter the characters for the start of the new season so people who didn't watch understand that Mike is supposedly the "good" guy but yeah it was over the top, and god the fucking love story shit was also terrible. Liked Louis though.

Well, what else but Titan. It's announced as a casual mmo, he has experience with the RMAH in diablo which is a perfect experiment for a slightly different F2P model where instead of selling cosmetics, they take a cut on everything you sell ingame. Seems like a match made in heaven. Also seems...

That depends on people, some like to play every hero a few times, some focus on a few heroes, there's really no easy answer. Ultimately you'll need to do some research or check the heroes in practice against bots just to see exactly what they do, but I don't feel you need to play everything to...

Supports only work with the gem they're linked with. If you check sockets, you'll see some are linked, some aren't. You need to find an item that has sockets that are linked with the proper color(in this case, blue and blue for raise zombie + minion health). You can however temporarily use...

There's a ton of better Meepo players than n0tail, and yet he's rarely if ever picked. He's not a safe pick, sure if no one stops you, you can unleash his monstruous potential but it's not like you get there np. He also becomes a liability later in the game, he maxes out very quickly and once...

The wipe will most likely be on the 22nd, when they take down the servers in preparation for the OB patch. I assume at least 6hours of downtime kind of deal but Chris said they can upgrade in less than an hour so might not be the case. The wipe will happen at the end of CB, then OB open and no...

Well it works fine and DW is pretty good actually if you start ranger or duelist and get the DW stuff(duelist especially has like that big DW block node in the start that's really awesome for survivability). Main issue of DW is there's not many skills that make use of it. Flicker, LS etc only...

I'd wait until next week when open beta starts, they're adding Act3 and it's going through pseudo release. They're also wiping just before so if you start now your char will be wiped next week, which sucks depending on how much you plan to play. The lightning skill is Lightning Strike. It's...

Wonder if she'll become a giant blob at the end.

What's the current state on pet centric WD? It was shit back when I played, I remember in some patch they made them scale better but I doubt they're any good. Is there even a WD build that's good? Everytime I see people talking about D3, it's barb stuff and on the last 2 pages it was just...

Don't think I can embed this, but they released a trailer for open beta:http://www.gametrailers.com/videos/e...n-beta-trailer It looks really good, and shows a lot of Act3 stuff.

Well there's no horadric cube, but there's recipes. You simply sell certain combination of stuff and the vendor gives you different rewards than usual. For example the most commonly used one is selling an Iron ring(basic 1-2dmg ring)+a blue skill gem for a sapphire ring(cold resist, used for the...

Yep correct on all points, no more char wipes after next one and Act3 for OB. OB is on the 23rd so it's very soon now. While they might not wipe anymore though, they might do what they did during beta for major patches, where they give everyone full respecs BUT they also move these characters to...

I dropped the build but it was about this when I stopped:http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-s...SKr9pilKBodNhN Goal after that would be to get more hp in the middle, the 3pt cruel blade sword node in duellist area, Frenzy charge in duellist then go through Frenzy charge in Ranger and get...

Oh btw keys I got if someone wanna check the game before OB: FRWCU-P839F-RQWRN-NXNZW CW29F-CZJDX-L6Y95-H6X65

The notes are extremely outdated though, missing a ton of stuff and some stuff isn't accurate anymore. They haven't bothered updating them it seems or something. Currently playing a really fun build, actually hesitating about OB starting build because it's so fun. I'll wait until Merci see...

So Kripp is streaming alpha content(up to a certain level). He showed a few of the most interesting changes: Dual totem is now a keystone(big passive). When you get it, you cannot do damage yourself. That means only minions, totems, traps or mines can do dmg and you can still apply debuffs...

2 was a lot better than 1. I never finished 1, grabbed it a bit before 2 was released(or maybe got it for free as part of preorder don't know) and yeah the combat was very shitty and the story was meh. 2 on the other hand had a very cool combat system and while it was more action than rpg combat...

The problem with CI and why it's going to get nerfed for sure is if you take CI, you need like way less points than another build with no CI because you don't have to take any health nodes and you don't have to take nearly as many ES nodes to get the same or higher "health" pool. Taking CI...

The amount of % you get is really not worth it for the curses. Get an increased aoe support for the curses or just don't, once you get to lvl 10-12+ in curses, they hit a large enough area. You get +5% radius per level of the gem so even without anything it's fine, besides the early game but...

The crit nodes do affect spells unless stated specifically for weapons. Similar to Doom Cast only working on spells, general crit% works on everything. Crit% on weapons only work if it's Global Crit%, if it's just Crit% it's crit with that weapon(daggers have global crit as an innate)...

Arc isn't a projectile, it has a special property that makes it able to use Chain on though(it says Chaining in the tooltip, the tooltips are very accurate in their categories generally so you can easily find what works or not). Another rule about these is a projectile can only pierce, fork...

Double wands is fine too, not sure if you get the DW block with wands though but otherwise you get a baseline 15%block 15%attackspeed(useless for witch) for DWing, which is decent enough if you don't plan on face tanking stuff and wands will have better offensive stats than spirit shields...
