    Runes were supposed to replace the crafting bench. They were (too?) common in 0.2. Too rare in 0.3. Still too rare in 0.4, I'm not even sure they adjusted the drop rate. Some lesser runes still go for multiple exalts at this point. Mind bottling.

    You have no proof they intend to do that. I have a year of proof that they don't seem to want to address the issue. I'm not going to pretend it's an easy problem to solve, but they aren't even giving it lip service.

    PoE1 emphasizes your weapon as an attack build to a degree. And your ability to meet that demand while leveling through drops, barebones crafting, and the bench is somewhat achievable. The passive tree is putting in a lot of work too. I still prefer to league start something that doesn't...

    PoE2 overemphasized your weapon. Upgrade if you begin to feel behind.

    How do people handle hitting keyboard bound skills and flasks with wasd? I'm trying freezy boi with mouse finding it better since melee benefits less from wasd anyway.

    Right, but I meant down to even the coverage area, it seems quite similar. What's really noteworthy is how much he's glazing it. PoE2 is entering battered wife territory.

    This patch is so good, I'm going to bed at a responsible time. I got my fill of Poison PF. Even with gear from the AH, I was nodding off. Will probably try Wolf Druid, it does look fun, but also worried about too many buttons. Their need to balance campaign boss fights around a tight power...

    @ronne thoughts on Replica Wings of Entropy vs Paradoxica for an Elemental Hit weapon? I think it has higher dps potential, but originally wrote it off as RWoE excludes the shield slot. But what do most people do with the shield in the endgame? Svallin. I wonder if at the very least a league...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    PoE1 is the best arpg if you're willing to put in the time and learn the systems. I don't care much for PoE2. It has some appealing aspects that nowhere near make up for the years of self sabotage GGG has inflicted on the better game.

    Faggotry that we'll have to bail out once the bubble pops. Hardware prices that will never recover and somewhere in the middle will just become the new norm. No jail time for people that deserve it. Pick 3.

    No, it's still a Diablo-like. No signs of achieving Exile-like status.

    It's common to see "Is this viable on <completely wrong ascendancy>?" in PoE2 videos. How many people are playing PoE2 in spite of the game itself?

    Yes, guardrails. I said the Bear and Wolf are very much on rails. I think we're fundamentally in agreement. However, I see rails as a negative and it results in shallow game with little longevity squabbling over resources from its better. You seem to think it a positive that saves devs time...

    The suggested gems has a few of its own problems that I'm surprised they haven't fixed yet. But no, not that. Look at Rathpith Globe in both games. Linking instead of embedding to keep the size of the post down. https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Rathpith_Globe...

    Last Lament unsurprisingly got nerfed. It seems wrong for them to showcase builds that they clearly don't agree with. And no, I don't care that there is precedent.

    The best part of season 5 is they FINALLY answer that nagging question: how the fuck did Ted bag Cara Buono? Well, his karmic balance finally righted itself in the form of demogorgon collateral. Otherwise, this season has failed to hold my attention. I'm noticing errors instead of being...

    Diablo II - Resurrected

    Comparing PoE2 to Diablo 4 is unfair. And this is coming from someone who is still largely negative on PoE2 despite their improvements in 0.3(which are still coming at the cost of PoE1 based on 3.27's "content"). PoE1 is the better D2. But Khane is actually recommending the game in his...

    EHG sold themselves to Krafton. Partly because they made some really moronic promises(one-time initial purchase, no paid expansions), partly because they half assed the cosmetic monetization. I'm sure there are other factors, but I don't have access to their financials to get a complete...

    Yep, I really want 20s charge duration, which undercuts the value of thread. Or you could use a shit chest like restless ward. Thoughts on using arkhons tools for scorch instead of boot slot? I want another slot that can roll suppress, but 35% reservation seems silly.

    Expedition's End was initially for chill and consistent freeze when I was playing non-crit Frostbreath. With Paradoxica and crit, the freeze duration can get pretty stupid, so perhaps not needed. It is nice to consistently freeze and shatter everything on the first hit, no matter what. I had...

    That's on my list things to fix for next league. I was disappointed with this skill as a league starter. It wasn't until I slotted in Paradoxica and crit scaling did the dps really take off. Think of it this way, EE will ruin multistrike's damage repeats, which are supposed to be the majority...
