    This is what I came up with this morning. I'm not a fan of evasion, unreliable and no guard skill synergy. So I went high armor instead. Resists are still an issue, trying to keep the rares "realistic". But by no means starter friendly.

    Have you done an accuracy stacking tree since 3.16? The scion part of the tree kinda sucks with the evasion wheel losing its accuracy and might of the meek covering notables.

    I seem to recall vaccinations being a requirement for college. Perhaps that was only if you're staying in a dorm. You're arguing explicit conformance, which I agree with can be a problem. I said implicit. Even if most people are opting into a vaccination, doesn't mean that society doesn't...

    Thanks for the reminder for not opting in. You seem intent on arguing against your assumptions of me. You do make some points worth responding to, but about half of that are things I did not say.

    IIRC, at the time of the reveal, the UI looked very similar to another mobile ARPG not associated with Blizzard nor the Chinese contractor developing Diablo: Immortal. It's been years and I thought this thing was supposed to be ready soon after being revealed, so who knows what's been since.

    How goes it without the Void Sphere? That said, it's an ability open to everyone, so it's definitely a good tool to include. Let me revise my previous post. Delayed damage builds aren't a no-go, it's just silly how much of an initial disadvantage they have to overcome. Imagine trying to...

    I think your second sentence is misleading. Do you not have any other vaccines? Those have been implicitly required by society for quite a while. How this new one is being handled and enforced is definitely on my list of misgivings. I have not foreseen it escalating as you seem to, so no, it...

    I stopped dying once I could kill the fuckers faster than they could swarm me. One thing almost always holds true in PoE: offense is the best defense. I'm sure lots of people are having a good time with TR, but I had to switch away partly for the delayed damage. Champion defenses might be...

    Seems to be a common theme amongst this thread. Is this what I'm missing by not opting into the politics part of the forum? Is this the wrong place to ask why people are willing to risk job/career for a "vaccine"? I have a long list of issues with it myself, just never got to the point of...

    Who needs a temp league to come back to the game? Honest question. I'm not saying those players don't exist nor that don't deserve new content too, I just can't relate to them. I keep thinking they would have been better off shipping 3.16 without a temp league. With the other existing...

    Layered RNG can be fun if it's weighted properly. This item has shit resists and life but it has a decent chance to get a keystone or projectiles chain +1 times. And it can be partially patched up with common tainted currency. The preceding was a fantasy that should have shipped with league...

    Alt tabbing sucks in fullscreen. This league is a lot like Synthesis, hope they fix it soon. What are people putting in their crucibles? No way am I risking actual good items, tainted currency is far too rare(and when you do get some, it's not worth much?!?!). So, maps, 6S items and....what...

    Definitely not doing Scourge until better geared after getting to maps. The RvR for the league is totally inverted. Teleport into Hell, get raped, alch your white items. Yay?

    It was like close to 0. No fortify, no endurance charges, no armor. What does right side of tree do for phys mitigation? Phys taken as something else? Those usually aren't starter options.

    Darkee build, essentially. Boring, but I haven't played TR in a while and every time I PoB a poison concoction pathfinder, the phys defenses sucked. Going to try getting an accuracy stacker going after that.

    No. Essentially, baubles, Hillock, and prefix. If the modifier doesn't make the amount bigger on the actual item in the game, poisonous concoction won't be affected by it. Vague and unintuitive, the GGG classic.

    Sapping is getting additional tiers of modifiers, it can go up to 60%. Without that, Saturated is better and AFAIK, not getting more tiers. I doubt poisonous concoction will count as using the flask, so it shouldn't trigger the downside. I'd like to know if you run 2 life flasks, can you...

    To be fair to @Penance, that data mentions nothing of the reservation change itself. Hovering over the gem itself does though. @Arbitrary One of the masteries adds +3 strike range. Supposedly they added some to the tree, but I haven't investigated a strike skill build since pob was updated...

    It does strike as form over function. The league is about demons, so it has to be corruption! They probably could have just reworked Synthesized items with far less complication.

    If the league mechanics requires near-copying so many base currencies, shouldn't the league mechanic itself be questioned? I feel like I'm watching some novice programmer copy functions and classes because that's less work instead of elegantly refactoring so that common code only exists in one...

    I see a common theme in the responses and generally I agree. The problem solving aspect of crafting can be fun. Puting that plan in motion is what sucks. Would rather reroll yet another build because I know I can do that myself with pob and little reliance on others. Crafting has too much...

    Valuable currency is given away at that point. Or sits and rots out of spite if no takers. I don't see a point to crafting for crafting's sake. I want to craft to progress my character and say "I made this". If I'm done with league, those motivations are also obviated.

    Agreed. Expensive crafting currency and trade economy are nearly exclusive. How can you properly balance and incentivize players when most players will sell their orbs chaos and up? So, instead of "get excited for this new rare currency", it's "get excited for this drop you'll sell to...
