Na, they changed 2 leagues ago(when necro were super buffed) to scale off the spectre gem level which was the nice QoL, but desecrate has been pulling your spectres since Harbinger league, specifically Version 3.0.2b which was over 2 years ago. I don't know about Sirius though, could have been...

Yeah SAM's pretty easy but I find there's a bunch of planning that goes into it if you don't want to "feel bad" because that shit just doesn't fit properly so you end up having to improvise with what sen you get and then what you use with meikyo and stuff. It's not too complicated but DRG was...

You could always do that? Unless you were using a spectre that had weird properties so you couldn't desecrate the corpses, like the bone cage monsters and stuff like that. Slave drivers... might have been like that? I never used them. But Solar Guards for example could be raised wherever as long...

Ninja is somewhat complex too but I find it easier to keep track of, after the 5.1 reworks. Mostly you have to keep an eye on trick attack and pretty much everything revolves around it, with only a few other cooldowns not aligning(bunshin and TCJ iirc). So as long as you get your opener right...

You can kinda make alerts in ACT and I think there's a mod to do it more efficiently(spelltimers? try googling that iirc that's what it was). That's why I hate Bard though and never play it more than just get it to cap, I fucking hate all the maintenance on top of the procs to watch for, can't...

350 new spectres, hopefully a couple that are better than solar guards and slave drivers. Also some useless changes to movement skills, although Dash might be useable now. https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2782531

Waiting on PC release, weird they didn't go with a simultaneous release, thought the first game did really well on PC. There's not even a date for it. I guess exclusive rights or whatever, fucking sucks.

Obviously need the expansion, you can't use expansion content without the expansion. You can fantasia once you have them unlocked but until then just sit on your fantasia(in case of, you get one fantasia for free for finishing the ARR MSQ).

Probably because it's not an automated process or whatever and they don't want to run the promotion too long. Numbers were very low though, 25k for the higher tiers, 50k for the first couple, so not too surprising.

Mana guardian works by reserving big mana though, this works off unreserved mana, I think hierophant stuff should work better.

I don't expect they'll add flying before next expansion but it's probably in preparation, since I assume some stuff will take place there. And yeah the ARR rework hasn't started just yet. Probably better to hold off until next year to play if you want the full rework, 5.5 should be around...

You only need Guard Up against specific monsters, and only against specific attacks of said monsters. It is really annoying trying to do some of them without(Velkhana for example fucking sucks), but some it kinda doesn't matter(Teostra has 2 attacks that go through but both can easily be avoided...

One thing that's for sure regardless of the developper, is estimated times to clear games are always fucking wrong. If they only expect 50-60, I'd assume it's gonna be 30-35 or so.

Currently GNB is slightly ahead, but really really slightly, and PLD is right behind, with WAR and DRK both being a little bit further behind, but we're talking 200DPS difference out of 9k+, so less than 3% between the highest and lowest. The main differences are in the utility and defensive...

Last league I did Alira while lvling, mp regen and resist makes it less annoying. I respeced around lvl 85 or whatever to +1 skill point. I haven't used Oak since they reworked it to not be life and I don't think I've ever sided with Kraityn. Don't think it's a big deal though.

I think it'll shine if you do hybrid damage and scale your attacks too, unlike Poet's Pen which is just a delivery system, you can use a solid damage wand and actually get good wand attacks in on top of your spells, so it'll compensate for the loss of aura/herald that you would otherwise use for...

Kinetic Blast is the old wand skill that does little bubbles exploding, new one is Kinetic Bolt(not sure why they used such a similar name but eh). And yeah it's an attack, but scales off spell power too.

It can be, but as I said it can be used in a bunch of different ways, you can have more than one proced setup(without dual wielding poet's pens) and you can have more links, and you can actually use a better wand too(if you're scaling your attacks that's pretty important). Cost is obviously you...

All the tanks are pretty easy, GNB is the most "complex", as in it has the most buttons and even that is pretty easy. Threat is a non factor in ShB, just turn on your tank stance and there's virtually no way you lose threat to anything unless you don't upgrade your weapon for 25levels, or you're...

Spellslinger only eats one support in your setup, it's 5L+1 support for example, and then your attack isn't linked directly. You can do a 6L attack with a 3L spellslinger setup as another example, or like 5L Hungering Loop spell setup with your main attack still being a 6L. Point is you can...

Well depends on what you mean by EZ mode, but up to 60 at least they're both pretty much the same since you only have WAR and PLD, and they only get their fancy stuff in the 50-60 stretch. DRK unlocks in Heavensward which unless you have already done the story will probably mean you'll be 54+...

Instead of this AH talk, have a new jewel, this time a rolled one so people stop whining about how the new jewels are terrible because they don't understand a 1 affix blue jewel is obviously going to be shit The notable is so so, but the buffed travel nodes are pretty fucking good, chaos multi...

XV promotion was cup ramen, there was even a sidequest in the game with promotion for it, so no, it isn't a western market thing. They just kinda go wide with their promotional partners and don't care too much I guess instead of trying to just get Razer or Logitech or some gaming chair company...

Farm Steamworks during events and you'll get most of the basic gems, still will be missing a few though like mighty bow, mind's eye and guard up cause these aren't in the steel ticket pool, but you can get most of the stuff done that way. Alternatively you can farm Laviasoth and/or Greatest...

You can see some of them on the official site/the videos. Not many but a fair amount. It SEEMS like the prefixes are notables and sockets and suffixes are stats added to passives, seeing as I don't think there's been a node with more than 2 notable and the rares they've shown with increased...

No the whole point is a bunch of extra passives that don't exist. You still have to spend points for them, otherwise shit would be utterly broken and everyone would design builds to grab 3-6 of the nodes because it's literally 20 free passive points per node.

I think even without the awakening bonus, sustain will be good enough as long as you like, roll your maps. Not even the crazy shit, just roll them, in Metamorph you could just run white maps and still sustain which is a bit weird. I dislike the fact the awakening bonus feels completely...

As mentionned, if a skill converts, it takes priority. If however you have 2 sources of conversion of the same tier(for example 2 items) and the total converted is over 100%, then it weights them down to convert 100%. Let's say you have a skill that does 50% phys to fire, and then 1 item that...

The GGG special "we're buffing the Atlas" "we're also nerfing it a bunch" I like that the "incentive" for bonus awakening is removing the increased map drops, moving the increased difficulty modifier shit to it and slapping some half assed 10% master mission bonus(but after nerfing master...

This is going to be so bad. Also you'd think police/military or whatever they are would pick light/heavy bowguns as their weapons if they were put into a monster hunter world. Why would they bother with swords and shit when they can just fire at stuff. Hell everyone just get HBG clusters and...

Well first obviously all the leagues have the same roadmap, that's the whole point and has been ever since they started leagues. It's a gear reset, with one new gimmick. The gimmicks have gotten more complex over time and some are much more complex than others, but not sure what else you'd...

Not sure why you'd bet that because that seems like a losing bet, the only decent number we can use is Steam users, and while Blight was terrible in that regard, Metamorph was very good, having both the usual high spike for release but also retaining more people as the league went by, having...

It's doable but requires a bunch of playing and at this point it might be hard to get people to help with some of the stuff or finding affordable gear and stuff cause the prices are aligning to standard. I wanna say it's around 30-50hours depending on how focused you are on it, but that assumes...

I somehow read the opposite, my bad. I've seen other people make that argument so I was wondering why cause it doesn't make much sense to me.

I don't get that argument at all, how does real time makes more sense with "roll a dice to see if it succeeds" systems than turn based? It's fine to prefer it but the whole system made no sense for D&D mechanics, all the characters doing their stuff at the same time while rolling dices and not...

Don't they do that pretty often? And D3 new seasons are still pretty popular based on the twitch numbers.

I mean realistically a lot of this shit is going away by next year. While they're keeping stuff for 4.0 I expect massive reworks in a lot of these systems and any of the weaker systems will be removed or combined with others somehow. I expect a bunch of the content will be relegated to optional...

Well you can wait until PoE "2", the camera seems further away in that. Should be end of the year/next year(beta probably end of the year).

Don't worry buddy, you can play the new Hollow Palm build and not have to buy gloves or weapons, just punch stuff real good.

Malmouth can only be started after you finish the main quest, the entrance is gated. Forgotten Gods can be started at any point after you finish act1, but the difficulty will be pretty uneven at low lvl, it's good to go there and grab some belt enchant for movement skills though, shit can be...
