I haven't played since they changed mana leech so I dunno if I'm gonna need to incorporate a mana flask or not this league which may complicate things, but yea it's all just nonsense. Flasks are such a huge part of your character and keeping them up is basically mandatory for endgame content, yet they haven't improved the way you interact with them in years.

Just get the autohotkey macro and bind it to a side mouse button or something then just manually use your health flask is how I've been rolling for years now.

Most interesting experience playing Metamorph today? Had to stop picking up league items so I would stop crashing. Worked like a charm. QC is a bitch, man.

From the perspective of an eternal scrublord, they sure made the leveling experience a lot more interesting with the armor and hp buffs. Dominus and crew is a lot more challenging. I found Malachai easier actually, because he seemed to be porting a little more so I wasn't always stuck in the bleed circle trying to damage him. At any rate, the amount of time for a normal to kill a unique and rare is noticeably longer.

For new players, this is going to be a bitch. It was what chased away the lion's share when PoE was young and REALLY hard. I know it did it to me! It is not as hard as it was then, but it sure is a lot harder than the last 3-4 years, that's for sure.

Auto casting your flasks will net you a ban if they detect it. They don't give a shit about you popping 5 at once with one button, but getting ahk to actually cast them every 5 seconds will get you banned if you get caught.

The poe.exe has their own detection stuff inside it.

I just set it to trigger combat flasks when I use whatever my main attack key is.

So, do the melee animations get better as you go through the game and reach decent attack speeds? I don't remember when they changed the animations but it must've been more recently since the last attack character I played. I was gonna do a reave/flurry char again but using reave for just the end of act 1 and start of act 2 already has me not even wanting to bother leveling it up. It feels like shit. I run up to a mob and start attacking but there's like a full second delay before my first hit, and then there is a quick 2nd hit, then a delay, repeat the quick 2 hits. I can easily see it leading to deaths due to mobs getting hits off before the bullshit animations go through and your attacks start hitting if it stays like that...

They changed animation cancelling for melee attacks last league. But I don't think that was what you are talking about.

Maybe. You might google the animation cancelling changee I didn't play much last league.

things are going ok in this league. Got the Tabula from using the Blood Altar quest and a bit earlier Portal gem dropped.

If anyone has a 5700xt, your crashes are due to the card when it isnt some other weird ass bug.

The Flask macro above, will it allow you to just put 4-5 flasks on a single key? I don't need it to automatically use them, just want to take it down to a single key.

My 5700 XT hasn't crashed yet, but I am getting strange artifacts on almost every map.

Edit: Upgraded to latest Radeon 2020, artifacts went away and still no crashes when Tane spawns.

Not that I would use one myself, but here is one AHK that randomizes the flask order and just makes 4 of the flasks combine in one button press. In this example the number 2 triggers the flasks assigned to 3, 4, 5, 6 in a random order. You would want to change the flask assigned to 2 to 6. If you are using something other than one of the flask numbers as the trigger that isn't necessary. In this case 1 is left open for a health flask as you usually wouldn't want your health flask combined.

Nah I don't think that's it. Best way I can describe it is instead of my attacks being .56, .56, .56, .56 it'smore like .92, .2, .92, .2 and just feels bad, to me at least. Hopefully with a fast attack speed it'll get to a point where it doesn't feel janky cause I really enjoyed the last reave/flurry char I played.

After seeing the Awakener fight () I instantly rerolled my comfy glas cannon to tanky boi. Some of the higher maps bosses were also kinda ugly with their new health pools.

Yeah that's some of the new shit with the new animations, one hand attacks with some weapons go slow-fast, so it makes it really bad to just hit once. As soon as I started dual wielding it got better(and I mean past the innate attackspeed from dualwield) because the first attack is much faster while the 2nd is slower. But that was with Viper which uses both weapons, pretty sure other skills will work the same. More attackspeed will eventually kinda remove that shit entirely though pretty much, get Blood Rage asap for frenzy charges and try to get some attack speed nodes there's some decent non weapon specific ones around ranger/shadow.

Honestly with the hp changes, leveling as melee short of some skills that scale really well early is just fucking ass. Every story boss was a struggle until I got to like, act 7 or 8 and started having a shit ton of good passives, a 4L, plaguebringer and some other shit, just felt like crap until then other than white mobs. It's probably best to do some generic caster with low/no investment in casting and then switch once you reach act 7-8 and you can get a good basis for your char.

Anyone have a clue how to make my poe trade macro set metamorph as the league of choice? I downloaded the latest version but theres no "metamorph" choice in the dropdown menu of "league". Its annoying the hell out of me.

The league menu is always tmpstandard, tmphardcore and standard/hardcore, tmp for temporary, if you pick tmpstandard it should give you metamorph SC stuff.

I really hate to complain about difficulty, but I do think dmg is a little silly now. I mean just tier 1 and 2 maps with max resists and over 3k life I still have well over 100 deaths so far. So many one and two shots its not funny. Maybe I just suck. I'm actually lowering my resists now just to squeeze out more dps until I can afford some better gear.

The league is "tmpstandard". I think that's how it always works.

Edit: nm, I actually won lol
