Banning people for shit game design/poor QA/shit balance is a terrible decision. Always has been and always will be, and only faggots do it or support it. If you're actually exploiting something that is blatantly a bug, that's one thing, but zone resets and shit is not a blatant 'bug' to exploit. It's even more hilarious that empy's group could report something, the lazy/trash devs don't bother fixing it, and then they decide to ban them for "exploiting" a bug they were too lazy to fix.

Reminds me of when I tried to report a bug once a long time ago on PoE 1 and they wanted me to go through like 547 steps of extra shit for them in the submitted bug report. I'm not getting paid to fix your bugs, i'm not gonna spend 2 hours trying to reproduce it and track a whole bunch of different info by doing 80 different things.

How many leveled off scoops from the meat comb does a Burrito Supreme #1 combo meal get?

Been trying a bunch of stuff through the campaign. Whirling Assault(cookie cutter Titan with Surround hat and Brass Dome) has felt the least shitty so far. If you feel so motivated, you can interrupt it with a dodge roll so that you aren't locked into all 7 attacks, which I actually like despite not liking dodge roll itself. It's really close to genuinely interesting gameplay if you could use sprinting to position yourself so that your screenwide whirling hit all around you.

I want phasing. Or I want some way to build into Heavy Stun Threshold, even though the latter would just become yet another thing every build needs to acquire.

When I get an Acceleration Shrine and don't get too sloppy to get Heavy Stunned, this is the closest PoE2 has felt to PoE1. Run around at zippy speeds, click screen, blow shit up.

I can't quite figure out why this build uses Mantra of Destruction and Charged Staff. Like, I get that you use Mantra with Ailith's Chimes to generate power charges, then use those power charges to maintain Charged Staff. But the amount of DPS it adds seems to be so little, on top of it meaning you can't do something else(Whirl or Bell) seems to relegate it to boss monologuing.

Was a fun league between tooth aches and back pains.

Tried maybe 5 builds total between 3 classes. Put some time into Poison Arrow build but did not feel it was the most fun even if it is powerful as hell.

Finally returned to Druid after seeing the Wolf Summoner build working, the Bear felt way too clunky and slow.

Level 96 on the Druid and 25% into the level. Killed all bosses at Ruthless besides Delirium. Have not tried Uber Arbiter because I suck at that fight.

Skipped most of the temple besides some Architect kills and one Atziri kill. Started to build the snake but the day after it got nerfed. Did not really find the mechanic much fun anyway, felt like it took too long for too little rewards, I would rather just farm maps for Omens and Fracture Orbs to sell.

I made more Divs this league than ever before doing that. But that is still probably small change for some of you guys who are more of a no-lifer and know wtf you are doing.

Feel like I'm done now though, can't do much to improve the Druid besides crazy investments and I don't have time for that.

Might push 97 to just have done that once. My highest so far is 96, my 0.1 Infernalist and this Druid.

Question for the fun of it. What's the difference between banning Empy and friends in Ultimatum and banning fub now? I'm pretty sure Chris would've banned fub had he still been around and resulted in an even bigger shit storm.

I think both bans would be unwarranted. Sure the ultimatum one is more "blatant" but it's all varying degrees of interpretations.

Campaign resets to farm a particular mechanic has been a core strategy of PoE since the very beginning. Just because this particular instance of it was too powerful doesn't mean it's suddenly a bannable exploit. You can still use the exact same tech to farm infinite abysses or whatever in the same areas, but no one does because it's not worth it. The campaign reset was never the problem, the infinite scaling nature of the temple was the problem.

Deathwing Deathwing try out ice shot if you want max PoE1 gameplay. The buffs they gave to that skill + ice tipped arrows are entirely unreasonable. Freezes/oneshots entire screens, requires no extra projectiles from tree/gear, still has boss damage because tornado shot is just hydrosphere on crack.

At this point, I'm looking for any build that can improve upon character mobility. This whirling assault build has screen wide coverage and stun, only tanky Abyss rares survive the stun. I guess that means Pathfinder?

As great as pf is every map in this game is designed with a million chokes and corridors so without phasing...

I've been playing this build below and it's pretty fun. Super tanky, clears well, bosses well. Been enjoying it a lot and would recommend trying it if you haven't yet.

This is where my plant chrono is at atm. now officially highest ive taken a char in poe2. I usually burn out before this.

Level 90 Entangle Chronomancer [0_4]

clearing t15ths. a few realmgates, including t2 simulacrums.

ready to try 4th ascend. (a bit overdue.) citadels.

as I noted, the game is improving. maps are better. smoother experience. the splinter/realmgate system is better now.
async trade has gotten me trading.

far and away the most currency, uniques, and good gear in general I've ever had either. mostly avoiding temple too. its "normal" play. abyss, simulacrums. but even omens, essances, etc are way up.

Learning to aim your sprints and dodge rolls is the true endgame to PoE2. Run the Dreadnaught end to end without getting stuck on the terrain.

The irony is that this ends up closer to PoE1 movement skills.

I might try my hand at snake building just to feel like I tried when it was available.

But felt kinda burned out yesterday on the Druid. Might just gear my plant Djinn build or re-gear the Druid to be a planter. It was kinda fun and it seems pretty strong from watching Raxx a bit yesterday.
