Yeah as I explain in the guide and said earlier here, Summoner is a pretty slow starter. Mostly in normal difficulty, you're going to be playing as a DPS witch without DPS passives, so it's not very good. As you level up though zombies get tougher and tougher, you get the minion health supports...

Summoner, thus the guide. I really love playing it and it's a great starting character when you have no gear, it's more or less gear independant and very strong, and also very safe for hardcore play. I find it quite fun too and there's a ton of possible variation of the build you can do. I mean...

The game is very Dark Soul-esque in terms of throwing a lot of shit at you without any explanation. I like that the game starts with a popup tutorial thing like Equip your gem" so you think it's gonna have a lot of tips. And this is literally the only tip in the entire game lol. It has a lot...

You can sell armored scraps or whetstones for 2-3 ID scrolls each, those aren't useful until lategame and they're worth peanuts anyway because they're only useful on perfect gear and only barely so. So selling them early lets you get a nice amount of wisdom scrolls. With wisdoms you can buy TPs...

Melees have fairly terrible aoe. Your best bet is to go for a Lightning Strike build, which is kinda melee but more like a ranged attack. Cleave is an ok spell(with a 2H or DW though, not with a 1H) but the area is very small, Sweep can be pretty decent but again the area is fairly small and you...

Btw the Turbo race was rough. I was doing alright(like top 50ish or so) I think until I decided to go poke Brutus, asshole doesn't kid on Turbo. Sadly I hadn't really planned for it, I thought I'd still have time to burning arrow between hooks since I had very high attackspeed(10% from passive...

Actually other difference is the spells you get from the quest rewards. While you can trade for whatever you want and use whatever you want, some classes have direct access to certain skills via rewards while others have to trade(or find the drops).

That was what I had, maybe a bit less but that was the plan so far: http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-s...IQB6UC40myLJw= Future points would to get the crit/crit dmg templar node, then go toward the center of the tree under the witch starting area for more castspeed% and crit dmg%. Also...

I hope they find a better way to deliver rewards though. How it happens atm(at least this race never done one before was the first one) is they create a char on your account with a stupid name, and then you have to run this char to the town. Now obviously the beach area isn't too hard, but it...

Well totems are strong regardless of your level, they're strong for leveling and for the hard maps. Levels don't really mean anything besides xp gain rate and the amount of skill points you have, there's no higher level = higher dmg type of formula. On top of that gear is capped, so doing a lvl...

Well to be fair, pretty much every build can clear content without taking any DPS node at all. Most melees HAVE to do just that, besides taking stuff that's on the way to health nodes, the DPS nodes are once you have all your defensive shit done. The issue with totems is their range and damage...

So Kripp lost the race by a pretty good margin. In the last day Dominion's group was chaining much higher level maps so they caught up easily and then beat him. Probably had the maps from the guy who died very close to Kripp and also Dominion played a fuckton more(some people bitch he was...

Btw if anyone needs I have a couple of keys. Send me a PM, I'll pick 2 people unfairly.

If you don't use fast movement skills though you rarely desync. I mean you might lag/disconnect as usual with any internet game but desyncing is fairly rare. Still happens though, or sometimes mobs desync if you're kiting them so that's annoying but on my witch I barely ever desynced, mostly...

Well if your clarity and disc eat 400, you'd need at least 1k mana. With 1k, purity would eat 400, clarity disc still 400 so you're left with 200mana, which should be enough to get your totems out. I ran all 3 on my witch and I did have about 1k mana to run them(1050 or so, I liked having...

There's Haste, attack speed+cast speed% but most people don't use it on casters because of the 40% reserve. Other than that it's mostly defensive auras for casters, Purity is good too but running Purity+Clarity+Disc is generally hard without quite a lot of mana or Eldritch Battery, cause Purity...

In order of importance for spark totem it's obviously totem+spark then fork, faster cast, faster projectile, elemental proliferation. You can replace either of the last 2 with GMP, LMP, Reduced mana(not so useful on totems but if you run too many auras you might not have enough to even drop the...

Well it's not gonna be an action combat mmo, it's not even close to being as fast paced as wow and similar, at least from what I remember of the beta. It was very similar to FFXI in that regard, even though a lot faster. FFXI was similar to EQ, where you stood there for a while, waiting for your...

Well similarily in the first few versions of the game you could use Stone Skin or whatever to make yourself more or less invincible. I think Lightning dmg still went through so you still had to be careful but it negated a lot of dmg. It was also abused to beat the 4kings.

Well that's one of the reasons you want to run in full group, you get more drops in a full group overall and since you still only need 1 map for the whole group, you want a group to maximize drop rates on maps so you never run out. I just read though that there's a major factor in the current...

That's pretty much how the game works, you die, redo the same content again, and again, and again until you can skip most of it or do it very efficiently. That's why other playthroughs are a lot faster and easier cause you already know everything and unless you give yourself handicaps it becomes...

Well thinking about it I had more than 25%, 25% was my cold resist on merveil but I had even less lightning, 8% or something so I thought I wouldn't force it and equipped a 30%lightning I had in my stash, so must have had 38%. Still I got hit for only about 1500dmg or so, my full ES was 2300 and...

His current build seems really strong, but it has to be the most boring build ever. Even dual spork totems is more fun I think, it's basically a full autoattack build with extremely defensive stats but it does alright damage due to siphon scaling. Anyway almost 60 on my summoner, I'll stop...

Doubt they'll run a league while still doing the 1week HC race, so probably won't be until next week. They said they'll run concurent leagues for open beta though. Imo still worth playing over D3 at the moment and that's while missing a large part of the content. I just find the depth of...

Yeah I'm getting it because I'm running 3 auras atm, Discipline Clarity and Purity and it's a pretty large buff to these, especially Discipline which adds to your base ES which is then multiplied by your ES% nodes(and eventually all of that is further multiplied by CI once I take it). I get like...

I think Coves is still good, but mostly as a range char, if you start walking into the tar it slows down quite a lot. Also getting swarmed by vuln crabs can be bad so need to be a bit careful at least. My summoner kinda mows through shit though so I don't really care which zone is "easier"...

Actually most stuff I've watched they skip the boss, but he's pretty easy as a fire mage spamming firestorm on him. Rest isn't that much better than anything else I guess but the mobs move slowly and have fairly low hp, I watched Panda's 3hour run tutorial and he pretty much shit on Ledge mobs...

They theorycrafted a team build I believe, he has like a wand templar with power siphon and conduit(gives power charges to every allies around) so I assume the other people in his group also do. As said though, you have rare drops Orbs of Regret that give you a full respec and you get a bunch of...

Well one of them died already. Thing though is in a one week race, it's not a big deal if you die unless you die in the last ~3days or so. Other than that you have plenty of time to reroll and if you banked some stuff it'll go faster. I learned a few things about how to level faster, skipping...

You can turn off some stuff, especially shadows which apparently are big on GPU, but don't know how it's gonna run though, there's some people playing it on laptops but there's quite a lot of difference between a "gaming" laptop and a normal one so don't know. You could just check to be honest...

Well "launch", which they decided to call open beta is next month but you can spend 10$ right now to get into the closed beta and play. Those 10$ will give you 10$ worth of F2P money once the game launches, which you can use to buy stash tabs, so it's not wasted money even if closed beta is over...

Also important to mention but 3hours races good players will use builds you generally wouldn't use to maximize killing speed. While you could recover with some to a decent build, some are pretty much fucked for endgame. Been playing this these past few days, I still wish there were a lot more...

Only a good advice for TR/VS, for NC the default sniper is the one that the other 2 buy. There's better rifles than all of these but they're expensive and not that much better. They do SC sales like once a month. Granted that's not very helpful now, but still. You can also buy Walmart cards...

Yeah totally agree that the xp rewards aren't well done, infantry shouldn't give that much especially when you're in a HE tank or a Zephyr Lib, vehicles should give a fuckton more considering how annoying it is to take them out as infantry or even in other vehicles and partial dmg should be...

Oath in Felghana is the better game imo, however Origin is the more accessible one, it was made after and it has multiple chars with their own point of view on the story so replayability, they also differ in skills and stuff, you gain xp to buy skills to customize your leveling instead of...

Yeah I wish flak did a bit more dmg to infantry, shit half the time you can't even hit people even with the reticule dead on them because of the way the projectiles fire from your arm and have low accuracy to begin with. Best bet is to charge them and melee them, but the fucking MAX charge can't...

It's nowhere close to 5secs, that's a gross exageration from someone who probably pilots ESF a lot and never used a dual burster. It might take 5secs if there's 5 dual burster MAXes sure, but solo it takes way longer. I went and spawned a Mosquito with no upgrade and then shot at it with Dual...

It just finished so will have to wait a bit, Beyondthesummit stream or Sheevergaming stream should have VoDs in a couple of hours at most. Game was nice to watch but there were a fuckton of mistakes on both sides, it was pretty sloppy at times, especially naga sleeps timing.

Looking back, I didn't play most NES games. I got a NES basically as soon as it released here in europe, saw the ad and wanted one, first system and was 5years old. However back then I could only get new games at the end of the year if I had good grades. I think the only games I ever owned were...

Granted 2hours isn't a very long time in a FF to be overpowered for the rest of the game. I don't remember FF8 much, I remember you get summons like really quickly and I remember I was on a boss where your main char gets turned on you(some woman) and at that point my team was absolute trash, I...
