Barb really doesn't feel bad to me, I dunno why everyone is bashing on it so hard. Up to level 13 now, using lunge, whirlwind and ground stomp. Only times I haven't enjoyed it so far were the very first couple levels where it just felt weird having lunge as my literal only attack option and...

There's a chance it was just server lag or something and not related to my pc, will find out for sure tomorrow with the updated drivers and a bit more playtime.

Oh ok, ya my nvidia thing did pop out a driver yesterday I just didn't update it when the little notice showed up. I'll do that tonight and try the higher graphics again tomorrow too.

Lol, I didn't even think female was an option for druid. I went ahead and downloaded it to try out and hopped on for a few minutes when I got back from work today and at the create character screen, druid was set to male but the other 4 were set to female. I started a barb just to see if it...

I expected it to hit a house, or at least take out the fence. Disappointing.

The last league I played before sanctum I was playing stone golems and I cleared 100% of content many times over and had hundreds of exalts worth of gear sitting in my stash on top of what I was wearing. I always vaaled all my stuff when I was done with any league. So do lots of people. Are...

Yes, exalts and divines switching places makes exalt slams a lot more common, agreed. It only took 9 years or a bit more (not sure when exactly the divine/exalt swap happened) for exalts to be considered for use by any significant amount of players. Even then, as you mentioned jewels, i'd...

Uhh... Thanks for proving my points and agreeing that i'm correct while trying to say I am proving how much I don't know?

I'd be willing to be there are people with probably millions of chaos/exalts/divines sitting in 10s of thousands of extract only stash tabs in standard league by this point in time. I feel like there might have been some mention of issues relating to moving everything to standard in the past in...

Which also kind of supports the point that the intial "vision" of the currencies is no longer valid and even the PoE devs feel that way. All the crafting in the game now is not done by using the currencies for their original purposes, they're just "gold" that you use on the crafting bench to...

I'm saying chaos orbs "other use than being a currency" is to gamble items. They turn a rare item into a rare item with different mods. Just like when you spend gold to gamble items in any other ARPG that has gambling, which is all of them that I know of. At the least D2 and D3 both had...

Oh you're right, my fault. Altho you did start off with a rant about timegating and how this game would be dead within 2 weeks.

Why are you even downloading this game after you spent the past week talking about how shitty it was and how amazing PoE is? Comical.

There's no anti-inflation in PoE. The only thing PoE has is an upper limit of where people will stop buying certain items for one reason or another but its not because they use 80 different items instead of gold. "Chaos orbs are gold but with other uses" (item gambling)... definitely...

Yep, that and the morons who think people will believe them when they claim natty because "it was sarms not steroids". I really don't get it, personally. From everything i've heard from people who are in that realm, it's not even remotely hard to get the real deal with minimum effort, and at...

Why would you assume each class only has 1 viable build? I bet they can all use any of their skills and do level 10 content no problem. That's all that matters, right, or is that only for PoE when i'm saying not all builds are viable for all content as people (you) claim there are "hundreds...

Lets see here. Amazon in D2 has 30 skills. They get 100 skill points. How many possible variations are there on that, i'm too stupid to do the math. I bet it's more than the "hundreds and hundreds of viable poe builds" tho, and that's only 1 class. D3 barbarian has 23 skills with 6 runes...

Is that not how people are comparing builds from other games to them? "Oh d3 only has 1 build that can do grift 757, no diversity lol only 1 playable build"? If that's not what people are doing then why the fuck isn't anyone saying d2 or d3 have dozens of builds (one for each skill/rune) since...

Lol no. You're not even worth responding to any more honestly, you're spewing more nonsense than Ut.

It's 11 skills not 12, 2 of them are tornado shot. And it makes up 75% so it being just the skills in the window doesn't mean much. Obviously poe.ninja isn't the be all end all of data. I don't know why you guys keep insisting on arguing about this, though. Maybe one of these days I will go...

Obviously skills being irrelevant is more relevant in the case of PoE since they're not class specific but class imbalance also definitely exists.

That can't be true. All the angry folk in this thread have assured me that PoE is and always has been perfectly balanced and every skill is equally viable and so is every ascendency and you definitely aren't shoehorned into using certain supports for certain skills, you can literally do...

Did you play the same D2 I played? Cause holy shit levelling a barb in D2 was painful for me.

Well, if you say so then it must be true. PoE has always been perfectly balanced since the closed beta days, now I finally realize it.

Fair enough, Grim Dawn and TQ are the areas I'll agree with you that melee probably has the advantage (maybe last epoch i've only played sorc twice and acolyte for a little bit). I haven't put enough hours into them to really compare all the different builds myself. I think this is because...

@Utnayan Tencent are partial owners of the companies that did Elden Ring. Tencent also owns most of Riot and Riot + league of legends is one of the most woke plagued games/companies i've ever seen. Are you going to revoke your praise of that game given these findings or do I need to keep...

It's also stupid as fuck because like multiple people have said multiple times, that's how it is in every single ARPG ever. Try levelling a melee char in PoE and it's absolute dogshit and feels horrible compared to split shot or any other ranged/aoe skill.

Oh ya, that's a dick move for sure. I just don't think he's a retard so much as he's just a douche milking twitch for what twitch wants. Twitch chat is like the most retarded of retards and he's pretty good at giving them what they want (and so are a bunch of other big streamers).

I don't watch much of him but from the bits i've seen it feels more to me like he uses lots of sarcasm and plays into a bunch of stuff just for content and not necessarily because he believes it personally.

Yeah, PoE definitely doesn't have that and never has!

I dunno, all the people in here screaming about how amazing and innovative PoE is sure seem to think a reboot is required for d4 and that reboot better contain 4000 mechanics and features that have never even been dreamt of in the ARPG genre, so why would they not feel the same way about PoE 2?

I guess... Care to elaborate the point so I can reach up and grab it? Only thing I can think of is that your 'point' was everyone who wasn't bashing the game was just a retard lying about enjoying it and having fun but I like to think that they're not a bunch of shills being paid by Blizzard to...

Ya, cause that's definitely not the entire point of video games... (excluding competitive games, which ARPGs are not).

1. I think i'm part of the 0.0001% who does any form of crafting with the currency that isn't deterministic master crafting with guaranteed results but ok. How is using chaos orbs to gamble on an item any different from using gold to gamble items? Because it's not called gold so it's better...

Is FF14 an ARPG these days? Its been quite a while since I played it.

Ya but the skill tree doesn't have 400 nodes that leave you unable to progress past white maps if you don't cookie cutter the shit out of it. Total fail, no choices!

You show me the innovation, you're the one claiming PoE somehow innovates every single league. I've played the game on and off for the past 10+ years and I sure as shit don't see all this magical innovation or "new and different" that it supposedly has.

Lol. Drugs are bad.
