It isn't nearly as bad since it's stationary. Big issue with brands is you can just recall them around, effectively "casting" them for free. You'll still have to pay 2billions mana everytime you drop orb of storms. It is good for bosses though, so they might do a nerf like archmage only amplify a spell for a limited amount of time or something.I wonder how they are going to deal with Orb of Storms. Or maybe they already figured that one out and it wasn't popular enough to warrant taunting.

You're honestly telling me that trading is hard in this game.Alt-tabbing over to the trade site and whispering a guy is just too much work.
With a Cinderswallow, you have enough recovery to liberally cast OOS. Or run Trickster. Or both. The clear won't be as good since you won't have ridiculous brand attachment range after 30s, but I bet you can get pretty close with an explodey chest.It isn't nearly as bad since it's stationary.

Saw this on reddit, looks pretty fucking good. Still FPS drops and shit but it doesn't drop to 3/freeze for 2seconds.Anyone mess with the Vulkan renderer? Ran a few maps and it is noticeably smoother for me. I can actually watch a stream on my second monitor now without the weird microstutter shit I used to get before.

Lots of people on reddit seem to say it's pretty good, it doesn't remove FPS drops since those are nearly impossible to fix when you vomit 250projectiles every half second, but it smoothes everything out so you don't spike and can't do shit for half/a full second or drop as low FPS as you sometimes did. People with shitty PC reporting higher FPS too, so the game's somewhat playable again. Seems really good, although if they keep adding stupid shit, 2years from now even the Vulkan engine won't do shit. Maybe PoE2 will force a shift in terms of how much shit they allow to reduce the strain on CPU/GPU/Storage, guess we'll see. At the very least this Vulkan shit should make PoE2 launch a lot more succesful I think if it makes the game smooth.That looks so much smoother with Vulkan, one of my biggest gripes alongside trade is the performance in this game.
