Looks like patch fixed the Xbow reload shit. also they nerfed the prince fight. I was getting one shot by him but after patch I tried and he would take me down to a sliver, but I was alive. So thats cool. that fight was a pain in the ass.

Sorry for your nerfs pet enjoyers, feels bad when they nerf your shit. :(

Let me know when cocaine ant is back. Else I'll just play something else for a while I think.

I'm fine if they tune it down a little but the good thing was that it was aggressive and not trailing behind.

Losing Haste sucks but I can take that.

I like how chapter 4 has the PC start talking in dialogues.

The extra personality gives a bit more reason to play other classes.

which if you have not played a Witch yet. do so, shes hilariously silly.
i'm playing the merc and he jived with ange a bit, both of them being greedy.

i really miss the old witch from PoE1. she sounded tired and "told you so" to all the villians.

Fucking pisses me off. I’m out again, was finally actually enjoying this game and it was still behind other broken builds but gets immediately hot fixed. Ghazzy stream is a funeral looooooool


give me my jewelers back you fucking cunts
You can disenchant the gem and remove the Spectre bound but keep all slots and quality. But I'm out as well if they don't give us something close to this power level as a summon.

Sure it was a bit OP but it took a lot of investment in spirit and reservation to get them up.

I tried some lightning mages and other stuff yesterday but they just fucking tickle the mobs.

Edit: Seems it's hot fixed. Can't confirm until I go home for lunch in 2 hours.

Edit 2: Slow day at work so sneaked home for 10mins. The cocaine ant is back and seems the same. Losing the Haste hurts a bit though. This is my current setup with my Spirit pool, maybe worth adding some more minions now for Muster instead of 3 Storm Mages.

Or maybe just drop the shit minions if I can get another ant going.

Yeah I tried two maps before I had to go back to work. Hard to compare now that he does not have Haste Aura. Feels as hard hitting though, might have died easier but not sure, could have been the abyss that fucked them up.

I cleaned up the staffs, wands and focus items in the guild stash and put them in their own tabs (Focus/Wands in the same one). Did some of the cloth armors as well but lost motivation.

hmm you could tame a VERY low tier beast for a haste aura. but...there may be a way to itemize it easier than that. beasts consume a % of your spirit and even the small ones are like...15-20 percent if i recall.

Whats your attack stats on them? Ghazzy has like 43kdmg per use and over 100k dps. While mine look like this.

Edit: Probably level 20 and he got some crazy expensive support gems I guess. Mines only got an 19 gem and plus 8 to minions.

I have nothing juicing the minion besides stray +gooder to everythings, so my tame boy stats are near base. i couldn't begin to estimate a minion master version of companion ant. here's what i have:

here's his aura's and quality/spirit cost. they DID make them cheaper with this change at least:

For me the ant is a vehicle for the haste aura, and shocking foes. my shockburst rounds + my mirage archer's shockburst round absolutely chew up rares...if they shocked. otherwise it's like a midget peeing on them.

I had a companion for haste aura, it was nice sometimes, but the mob spent so much time out of range either rushing ahead to fight or falling behind as I ran somewhere. The uptime on the haste aura had to be pretty bad. At least in basic trash clearing. Was great in bosses in their confined areas(if it didn't die to something).

yea for sure. i absolutely wish i had some kind of semi lethargic thing that just sits next to me throwing projectiles, but with a modest amount of effort looking for one i could 'bulk farm' by spawning back to the checkpoint over and over again...i couldn't find anything reliable like that. coupled with his massive hp and propensity to rush and bite (delivering shock and maim I can use) i kind of kept him around.

I'm hoping on the deep mapping i can find something more precise to what i want. maybe a haste aura + temporal shield, or something ranged. or something that doens't shit out ice every f our seconds while i'm crafting at the base .

my literal favorate specters (which i can never find as tame-able names to make companions out of) are the beetles from keth that poop minions, or the bloodfly queens which poop flying minions. they do a great job of tieing up the enemy, blocking doors, and are nice and fat so i can roll away through them. but i just haven't seen one that's companion-able in the normal maps (though i should check again after this patch real fast). maybe i'll find one on maps.

I was kind of doing it as I go. I started that line of chest plates on the side, but then the rest of that page filled up and stopped my progress. But there is clearly a lot of shit in there that just needs to be weeded out. No matter what build you're running, some of the combinations of shit on there cant even remotely be good and I'm not sure why its in there. I think it would be helpful to have a pinned post, somewhere, of the most popular passives. Like a wand that has cast speed, <type> damage, spell damage, add <type> damage is gah' damn gold.. compared to the shit in there with Light Radius and similar.

Some of you are talking about boss difficulty.. and I just dont know if its where Im playing a Sorcerer or?... or if its just the muscle memory of everything Ive encountered in the previous play. But the bosses seem like a cake-walk this time around. Even the new ones.

Got the 3rd ascendancy done (barely)......had like zero honor resist and got ganked a few times in the level 3 escape level.

Think I ended up with 200 honor, but getting an extra projectile is insane for my damage. My gear is still pretty terrible but I have been running maps super quick already........still hate the atlas system though, think I'll work towards T15 and then call it a league.

Finally got to maps. Get a few in and get to the nexus one. Put my rare waystone in(only one it would accept), was almost done(1 rare left), went into this weird graphic on the map that suddenly spawned more monsters, so was like ok, more. Got to some rare, it stunned me and killed me. It then respawned me right at the checkpoint that was beside said boss, he precedes to kill me before I can move, it respawns in the exact same spot, i try to spam roll and it just kills me again. Kicks me out of the map , since I guess only can die twice in those.

So to further compound the ant hilariousness. i just now realized (after finishing trial three and level 79) that my OG origional wacky ant. says it consumes 24.9 spirit, but it's actually consuming more like 58. but a new ant consumes 24.9 so i seem to have a buggy bug. not sure if it's some how the origional stats to go wit hthe c ost or just buggy. my assumption is buggy.

you just need a normal barya, that says 3 trials (for your third ascension.) it will say "completing this ascension will grant skill points" basically
