Open beta guide for new players, I'll try to keep each point short, but whole post is pretty long. What class to make? Doesn't matter. Like really, doesn't matter. Classes are only defined by their starting stats(which are VERY low so the difference is like NOTHING), their quest rewards...

What's interesting is how quickly the game is growing, now that the open beta is getting close and they've done a bit of promotion/reviews and stuff. Sadly it also means there's probably going to be server issues for open beta now. Otherwise I don't think it's that crazy to see some people...

Caliane, on spells: Firestorm is really good, mostly with concentrated effect which is THE support for any spell labelled as aoe really, because it's a multiplicative damage increase(it says more damage and not increased damage) vs the usual additive, so it almost doubles the dmg. Generally...

There's GITS Stand Alone Complex, which is a TV anime series. It's in 2 parts of 26episodes each, the second one is called 2nd Gig and then a single special TV movie "episode" called Solid State Society. That's it really, there's the mangas and stuff too but animation wise, only the first movie...

I disagree. I mean I see what you're saying, but if all your meepos are low health, that means the enemy team can nuke any of them equally without fucking up. If all your meepos are down, you can't just run away with the one that's low and keep fighting, you have to run all of them or keep...

Hopefully they just wanted to recenter the characters for the start of the new season so people who didn't watch understand that Mike is supposedly the "good" guy but yeah it was over the top, and god the fucking love story shit was also terrible. Liked Louis though.

Well, what else but Titan. It's announced as a casual mmo, he has experience with the RMAH in diablo which is a perfect experiment for a slightly different F2P model where instead of selling cosmetics, they take a cut on everything you sell ingame. Seems like a match made in heaven. Also seems...

That depends on people, some like to play every hero a few times, some focus on a few heroes, there's really no easy answer. Ultimately you'll need to do some research or check the heroes in practice against bots just to see exactly what they do, but I don't feel you need to play everything to...

Supports only work with the gem they're linked with. If you check sockets, you'll see some are linked, some aren't. You need to find an item that has sockets that are linked with the proper color(in this case, blue and blue for raise zombie + minion health). You can however temporarily use...

There's a ton of better Meepo players than n0tail, and yet he's rarely if ever picked. He's not a safe pick, sure if no one stops you, you can unleash his monstruous potential but it's not like you get there np. He also becomes a liability later in the game, he maxes out very quickly and once...

The wipe will most likely be on the 22nd, when they take down the servers in preparation for the OB patch. I assume at least 6hours of downtime kind of deal but Chris said they can upgrade in less than an hour so might not be the case. The wipe will happen at the end of CB, then OB open and no...

Well it works fine and DW is pretty good actually if you start ranger or duelist and get the DW stuff(duelist especially has like that big DW block node in the start that's really awesome for survivability). Main issue of DW is there's not many skills that make use of it. Flicker, LS etc only...

I'd wait until next week when open beta starts, they're adding Act3 and it's going through pseudo release. They're also wiping just before so if you start now your char will be wiped next week, which sucks depending on how much you plan to play. The lightning skill is Lightning Strike. It's...

Wonder if she'll become a giant blob at the end.

What's the current state on pet centric WD? It was shit back when I played, I remember in some patch they made them scale better but I doubt they're any good. Is there even a WD build that's good? Everytime I see people talking about D3, it's barb stuff and on the last 2 pages it was just...

Don't think I can embed this, but they released a trailer for open beta:http://www.gametrailers.com/videos/e...n-beta-trailer It looks really good, and shows a lot of Act3 stuff.

Well there's no horadric cube, but there's recipes. You simply sell certain combination of stuff and the vendor gives you different rewards than usual. For example the most commonly used one is selling an Iron ring(basic 1-2dmg ring)+a blue skill gem for a sapphire ring(cold resist, used for the...

Yep correct on all points, no more char wipes after next one and Act3 for OB. OB is on the 23rd so it's very soon now. While they might not wipe anymore though, they might do what they did during beta for major patches, where they give everyone full respecs BUT they also move these characters to...

I dropped the build but it was about this when I stopped:http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-s...SKr9pilKBodNhN Goal after that would be to get more hp in the middle, the 3pt cruel blade sword node in duellist area, Frenzy charge in duellist then go through Frenzy charge in Ranger and get...

Oh btw keys I got if someone wanna check the game before OB: FRWCU-P839F-RQWRN-NXNZW CW29F-CZJDX-L6Y95-H6X65

The notes are extremely outdated though, missing a ton of stuff and some stuff isn't accurate anymore. They haven't bothered updating them it seems or something. Currently playing a really fun build, actually hesitating about OB starting build because it's so fun. I'll wait until Merci see...

So Kripp is streaming alpha content(up to a certain level). He showed a few of the most interesting changes: Dual totem is now a keystone(big passive). When you get it, you cannot do damage yourself. That means only minions, totems, traps or mines can do dmg and you can still apply debuffs...

2 was a lot better than 1. I never finished 1, grabbed it a bit before 2 was released(or maybe got it for free as part of preorder don't know) and yeah the combat was very shitty and the story was meh. 2 on the other hand had a very cool combat system and while it was more action than rpg combat...

The problem with CI and why it's going to get nerfed for sure is if you take CI, you need like way less points than another build with no CI because you don't have to take any health nodes and you don't have to take nearly as many ES nodes to get the same or higher "health" pool. Taking CI...

The amount of % you get is really not worth it for the curses. Get an increased aoe support for the curses or just don't, once you get to lvl 10-12+ in curses, they hit a large enough area. You get +5% radius per level of the gem so even without anything it's fine, besides the early game but...

The crit nodes do affect spells unless stated specifically for weapons. Similar to Doom Cast only working on spells, general crit% works on everything. Crit% on weapons only work if it's Global Crit%, if it's just Crit% it's crit with that weapon(daggers have global crit as an innate)...

Arc isn't a projectile, it has a special property that makes it able to use Chain on though(it says Chaining in the tooltip, the tooltips are very accurate in their categories generally so you can easily find what works or not). Another rule about these is a projectile can only pierce, fork...

Double wands is fine too, not sure if you get the DW block with wands though but otherwise you get a baseline 15%block 15%attackspeed(useless for witch) for DWing, which is decent enough if you don't plan on face tanking stuff and wands will have better offensive stats than spirit shields...

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...
