damage is high in 2.0, easiest thing is to have meat shields. Summoners or totems. Other than that melee is in a good spot with the fortify support gem. Cyclone in particular is strong even with mediocre weapons.

Likely more than anyone here. Armor will help survive a bunch of small hits in a low time frame but even in beta the .6 duration of IC on cwdt is better for that. It wont however save you from the stuff thats going to one shot you just because of the shitty armor mechanics in the game. You just...

If youre playing an armor version of anything, youre doing it wrong. Same thing with crit. Very few skills scale well without going crit.

This is exactly what Im saying, everything scales the same couple ways. Any summoner could be run off the same build and still be viable, so much so that you only need to swap a handful of points between the builds.

First thing first, 10 points is an obvious hyperbole but it is true that builds follow generic skill trees now just because all the nodes for scaling are so localized. If youre playing a caster, your optimal build is in shadow templar and witch. If youre playing a melee, your optimal build is...

Ya and thats a shitty static strike build which is also using the old passive tree which ultimately goes to prove what I was saying. Also goes to show that noone plays that build since its a 6 month old thread with basically no replies. Its all in all a great example for me. Thanks.

Did you really just link a build that uses the exact same passive tree for lightning strike and static strike? I mean ... seriously?

Looking at this, lightning strike doesnt get played in any reasonable way so who cares. Ground slam and Static Strike are literally the same build, so much so that if they use the same weapon the build would be 100% the same which just goes to show the problem. Its 100x worse in spell caster...

Honestly I find the beta to be a step backwards in PoE. Back in an interview the skill designer gave with Ziggy (forgot which one he is), he said he kept new skills simple so its easier to balance and its really easy to see in the new skills added and reworks of old skills. Everything scaling in...

Logged in for the first time in two months. I feel lost lol.

Any time your going to have a massive spike of players youll have issues. You cant plan for that spike, you have to plan for the more consistent numbers.

im in that video! yay!

if you have all the heroes you could probably pound them out in a couple hours anyway.

I hope they add anything. I got access on day 1, had fun playing through act 4 but now nothing is new about it anymore. They changed reflect and that was interesting when it was overpowered but now thats its scaled way down Ive sort of lost interest. Think I may just take a break until the next...

4 stash pages in 90 minutes is terrible. also as a long time d2 player his analysis of mephisto farming enrages me. I just cant take him seriously when he is so clueless about the example hes using to back his argument.

anything interesting in this QAs?

cleared that up a bit more and some of it is just outright wrong.

So just died to reflect at lvl 70. Tornado Shot has actually been buffed quite a bit. LMP/GMP now dont reduce as much damage they used to and when you hit something 5-6 times per shot it has a huge effect. Couple that with the Ondars Guile change and I just popped myself in 1 shot, lol.

As a preview, hatred is now a lvl 31 gem and you dont get it until cruel. Other than that though the biggest impact is the increased health on mobs. Getting less pot charges is murder at these low levels. Updated story is that my ranger is 63 with GMP tornado shot and just demolishing everything...

Played rain of arrows for a while and then LMPed tornado shot. Ive played a lot of bow characters, their leveling dps is always shitty compared to other ways to do it.

Very much so, I actually had a bow better than these would craft for lvl 38-50. Damage was still abysmal. Youll notice it says limit of 1. Cant have more than 1 socketed at a time.

We actually just found out it was working in the alpha hardcore league around an hour ago. Being low level still, I havnt messed with it. Part of that also is that not a lot of loot drops when your solo. In a group of 6 Im sure its amazing.

Played through a3 cruel with a bow ranger before rolling something else. Self found is always rough on a weapon based character, even harder now that all mobs have increased hp. My damage just seemed abysmal at times. The game is harder but not really enough to make anything of it. Mobs have...

not in yet, 3 weeks out.

If anyone has any specific questions from the alpha, let me know.

INFLUENCE for a 200 influence chest. Its not effected by the weekly cap but it does count against it so max your influence out for the week before using the chest. /edit scratch that, im not sure how it works vs the weekly influence cap other than its not capped by it.

Going back a few pages on the forums, Zods were selling for SWGNs before cosmic patrols were added. Just about anything that would reflect their rarity would make them worth that and then some.

Ya, if I was guessing Id say people who buy things like Zod and that low level trifecta I sold a while back are betting on future changes to the game. A new rune word, a recipe to bring cores up to lvl 60, etc.

from the patch notes Got an offer of a SWGN + HoD for the Zod. Im with you guys though and think Ill save it to see what they do with Zod in the future.

so for less than half the heroes?

With the new focus on survivability in Axis, I wouldnt call Courage of Asgard obsolete. Especially with the Red version coming up where tanking 100 stacks wont be an option.

So did a bunch of green raids today and got a zod rune as my reward. Anyone have any idea what one is worth? Hard to get a value from the marvel heroes forums, more posts outside of the trade section mention it than inside.

Think they changed the way this works. You get 400 splinters as your day 2 login reward now

shed say no, but id do it anyway. Hows she going to stop me?
