Anyone happen to know what the base 'movement speed penalty from using skills while moving' effect is? PoB2 doesn't support that yet and I'm trying to figure out the difference between 12% reduced penalty and 10% increased MS rune when I currently have 120% MS and 58% reduced penalty. Obviously I'd prefer to use the 10 ex rune instead of the 17 div one if the effect is very similar (since I do spend the vast majority of my time in a map shooting). Other rune slot is already 20% MS while on low life (limited to 1) so at least I just need the second one.

Anyone find arbiter more annoying after sprint was added? I keep slightly overshooting on my dodge rolls from it and end up bouncing out of the safe circles before the aoe goes off sometimes.
also just fuck that fight in general. 80% of the mechanics are one shots if you fail is bad design

Still not even close to poe1 mapping. The maps are still random layouts you have to move towards and the tablets are still random drops.

They need to accept that LEs monolith system is a failure and that they copied a failure mechanic and scrap the entire fucking thing

Yes, it's not PoE1 mapping. I meant that they are implementing PoE1 mapping fixes to PoE2 problems. It's gonna be really hard to not see that similarity when it happens.

No complaints if they want to bail on the existing system and take some steps towards PoE1's endgame. It's just unfortunate that they spent dev time making a brand new end game system upon deciding to make PoE2 it's own standalone game for it to be something players have complained about since the open beta last December.

At this point they may as well copy pasta poe1 into poe2 and call it a day since the amount of people who hate even positive changes to what is familiar is too damn high.

Though this is a good change cause towers are gay. Now for them to change waystones or tablets that change map layouts to what you want to run ;]

Are you talking about anything specific to this patch? I think everything they're doing here is good, it doesn't matter if it's more like poe1 or not.

So tablets are now multi use, kinda scarabs? I guess that's an improvement over towers. Its going to be the POE endgame before its all said and done. Which will be fine by me. Currency/skills/equipment are just the next iterations from POE1->2, no reason not to do the same with the endgame instead of completely scrapping it for the crap system it is now. I understand why they did it, trying to break away from the old, but it just didnt work.

Agreed, but they really need something to make it different as well. The atlas sucked, but I hope they don't just reskin everything from poe1 and call it a day........would still be 100x better than D4, but cmon, it needs its own identity.

All my POE1 gamer friends hate the campaign because they can't burn through it in a few hours in a fresh. They hate skill gems being tied to weapon types and the skill gem system in general. They hate 1 death maps even though the content went from ruthless to 1 button full screen real quick and bosses just fall over even at max tier. They hate ascension, they hate lack of movement abilities even though you can fucking zoom at 100%+ MS at end game np. They hate this iterations crafting even though this patch made is super friendly for almost every gear slot and I can attest that it works just fine since I've crafted nearly every piece of gear I'm wearing but it's not just a one click bench and go so it sucks. TBH I could list practically everything that isn't POE1 outside of game looks good and they aren't a minority. I read it in forums, twitch chats etc. The vocal crowd really just want POE1 reskinned which will be fine, but it will suck that the game tried to take risks will instead just backtrack on everything and be less open to taking the risks in the future for something new/unique.

They had their chance and they catered to the speed over the tactical. I agree they had something going if they slowed the game down but they completely botched the pacing. You can slow the game down but the carrot on the stick needs to be dangled. It was a game at odds with itself. The ability to pull the lever was too far in between and with such a slow pacing fucking up your character was amplified 10x with no way of remedying easily.

It was also way too hard to balance with how much they tried to push in the beginning. Slowing it down requires very strict guardrails on your power and has to be balanced for. It was ambitious but in the end they fumbled greatly and just hit the break glass option.

I'm sure Wilson had a better vision to what it should've been but there's a non zero chance he no longer had the influence to truly do what he wanted and his vision was too great a risk (IE at least they can break glass with what they got now but his was all or nothing most likely).

Did a stash tab of these Kulemak invitations for science. Took me about 6ish hours on and off over a few days. I used no rarity, but may do another batch with 100%+ rarity for more science. Overall it was ~60-65 div once I sold everything which felt lucky thanks to two tecrod jewels of the eight I dropped and I had quite a few 100%+ belts post corruption. The rings weren't worth shit so they got chance sharded. There were quite a lot of decent rares, but I didn't want to spend time price checking 100's of items so they mostly became gold instead. For a league start I probably would do this as it's a safe, low investment, braindead farm.

I started selling all the invitations, feels like all "pinnacle bosses" drop trash this time around. But maybe it's the same in PoE1? I rarely do bossing in that game so I have no idea.

But kinda sad to see stuff that was worth a shitload of Divines in 0.1 not being sold at 5ex.

On another note, bought my first ever Headhunter in PoE1/2. It's kinda interesting gameplay with that. Set up a bunch of towers with tablets for the coming patch, will see what happens. Still enjoy the Warrior (94), but only play every other day now.

Ritual/Ingenuity certainly got nerfed into oblivion. Breach got caught up in the attribute stacking nerf which affected HOWA. Did Expedition even have a good drop?
