    Oh yeah if it was in that place, on level 3 the necros do lightning curse and there's a bunch of lightning mobs too so you can kinda explode quickly even if you're capped on lightning if you're not careful. But yeah gonna rip once in a while especially if you're not extra careful.

    Depends on what act he was in, but yeah I probably wouldn't play a melee with 2k hp in merc past Ledge. Especially on a multimod rippy league.

    They have made almost no changes to cross class. Notable one is BLM Thunder isn't a cross class anymore, but instead you can cross class Blizzard II. I'm fairly sure that's the only change they've made to cross class since the release, other than a few skills being usable by ninja obviously(but...

    Sounds like you installed the FFXI trial instead of the XIV trial. Seriously though, there's only one unskippable cutscene, when you create a new char. The quest dialogue is average to good for the most part, has some references but isn't dankmemeonline like wow, the combat is wow's combat...

    They don't seem to have anything going besides the Witcher promotion atm, I'd wait a bit. Realistically you can wait until like a week before the early access to buy the game, I bought it already cause GMG had a bunch of voucher shit and what not and I think I bought the game for like 24$ or...

    A very important note about steam. The steam client is its own thing. You cannot play the game without steam if you have the steam version, and you cannot play the normal version via steam(other than adding it manually as an external game thingie). This goes for the expansion as well. If you...

    They don't open servers randomly, the servers are open based on population, it checks every 3-4hours or so. If there's high pop, the server stays locked, if it's low/medium pop, it's open, that's all there is to it really. That's why even on non crowded servers if you try to make a char during...

    The ethics of stealing video games

    Rezz this isn't really Devil's Advocate though. You're advocating a fairly decent line of thought. Testing games via torrented versions to know if the game is actually worth buying or not. That's fair. I mean, a lot of people will argue that you're literally stealing and raping the devs...

    Not really, because a 2nd healer is actually useful even if he's not healing all the time. There's a lot of healing spikes, where the boss does an unavoidable aoe or spike the tanks or whatever, and that's when the 2nd healer can help. As a scholar, that means Soil to reduce damage, precast...

    Uh, no? Depending on the content, that's literally all that happens, you DPS and your pet does all the healing. Content being most 5mans and any easy 8man. On harder 8mans, you have to heal, sometimes. Not all the time and that still depends on the WHM, if he's good, you don't have to heal at...

    They already explained everything. You need a copy for every version of the game, if you log in and your character is in an expansion zone, you can't log on that character. Can still play the new classes and stuff in the old zones if you've unlocked them though.

    Was indded a melee skill: From the datamined stuff, it convert 50% phys to ice, has 33% LESS attack speed and the 2nd hit does 33% less damage. Aoe seems shit but I assume it can be scaled with aoe mods to cover a pretty good area, looks decent enough. Also of note, it can be used with...

    Oh yeah I guess ice does need a melee attack, since the only one is like, Glacial Hammer and that's heavily skewed towards single target and freeze prolif. Fire and Lightning got their new melee skills so Ice one would make sense. Might be pretty interesting since Cold damage would tend to be...

    Well HC and spotty connection is always going to result in some nonsense deaths. During the previous 1month the servers were unstable as fuck like the first weekend, had to log off and go do nothing instead of playing cause I didn't want to rip to lag spikes. Also new teaser of some new...

    Played this to 10, not really seeing anything that would make it worth playing? Combat is slow paced, not pure action, feels a bit floaty at times, classes and abilities are the boring standard mmo fare, leveling is obviously awful and I tried pvp for a bit but unless I'm missing something...

    Well realistically, the best time to jump back in would be in a month or so, when they release act4 and a ton of nice changes+full rebalance and so on. You can jump back in now if you want though. Probably better to make a new char and build a new char from the ground up to get the basics...

    Yeah I think people didn't really see the implication of this change. Support alchemist farms like shit and the earliest you're gonna get an agh in a typical game is like 35-40mins. Even as carry alchemist, the earliest you'd have the money to spare without hurting your own build would be...

    They finally hit the aura shit in the dick on the beta server. Gist of it is auras have had their costs reduced(60% > 50%, everything else seems to be 5% lower), but Reduced Mana doesn't reduce reservation costs anymore. They instead made Enhance(the high level support gem that requires billions...

    D3 is definitely enjoyable, for a while. I find that you get bored super quickly with the rate of acquisition of stuff and how little there is to do once you're there. GRs aren't very appealing, especially with fucking shit trials gating them, and you stomp torment 6 in like 3days of farming...

    DFO: Dungeon Fighter Online coming back. Global this time.

    Well Diablo3 didn't die, even though people predicted it would when they removed trading. I think it's kinda extreme and it'd need to be accompanied by a lot of changes to the basic mechanics which they haven't thought about yet, but eh we'll see.

    It's one league that has 3old leagues mods at the same time and they rotate everyday, ending with all mods during the weekend.

    So I assume you already gave everyone else their agh and that's why you're sitting on 11k, right? That's a pretty hilarious gold/mins number though, I don't think I've seen that much before, especially for a game longer than 20mins.

    I think they'll end up removing the really annoying ones, like the one that lets you pick anything that's not connected in the radius. Tbh this one looks like a fucking mess especially since it apparently reaches a lot of stuff that you should absolutely NEVER have access to without the linked...

    State of the beta. TLDR, they had planned a lot of shit, there's a lot of complications, it's gonna take longer than they expected, rough ETA is end of june/early july. They're doing a 1 month league soonish. Forum - Announcements - State of the Beta - Path of Exile

    They mentionned something about extra retainers in the expansions I think I remember reading. I don't mind it cause the sub is less expensive than a normal mmo(with a 1char limit), so I add a 3rd retainer, and it's still under 15$ that wow asks for iirc.

    It's likely a lot of the servers will be decently populated for the expansion regardless. As to what's populated now, not too sure, you can make chars on various servers at prime time and see which ones are blocked and that'd be a decent starting point. Then you can go and check the auction...

    Gilgamesh will be a mess at the expansion release though. But it is the most populated non japanese server I believe(there's another I forgot the name of, bahamut maybe?) which makes it nice to find PF and stuff. I was wondering if I should server transfer to it but since I actually want to...

    I have very little faith in divination cards doing shit, considering they said they wouldn't add any themselves and they're all supporter designs, so there won't be that many and there will be for only specific stuff. Sure you might target a specific unique farming only the area for the cards...

    I actually hope it doesn't stay like that/isn't that good due to lower ilvl, cause that Voll farming looks boring as shit. I liked farming Piety or Dominus(though mostly Piety cause Merc Dominus farm is kinda risky) because each run took a while, some were faster, some were long, but you...

    There's one downside currently, you can still pick up items that are hidden. You need to setup the pickup on key function so you don't pickup everything while clicking around, hopefully they change it so loot filtered items become unclickable by default unless you hold the key, which would make...

    There's a new league? Or do you mean once they release act4 new leagues? It's the same as usual though, summoner or totems tend to be the best for first chars since you can MF with garbage gear and still clear shit. Spell based builds work well too for mostly clearing, generally can't afford...

    Well best way to get back into it is to just play the game, get to cap, do the content, buy gear with the rewards and clear everything, there's not much to it, progression is pretty smooth. If you play warrior, you do need paladin to 22 or whatever, to get Provoke. This is basically taunt...

    Dzemazel is still there. I was very happy to get Dzemazel on first run and AV only took like 4, those 2 are definitely the worst of the bunch due to being lower than 50.
