Path of Exile

Waste of clicks? Literally run your mouse up and down the items, then vendor. You can net almost 10 alts per page.

Come on guys, don't you desperately want to play the game when "literally run(ning) tour use up and down items, then vendor" is the best use of your time with gameplay mechanics? Otherwise, it's the same old shit except everything is even more punishing and takes longer.

I'm really regretting uninstalling now, let me tell you!

I'd like her a lot more if her rerolls were super rare but you felt like there was a solid chance at some real prizes when you got one. Right now her gambles are pull tab tier. Ever buy a pull tab? You feel like a complete idiot five seconds after. The fuck am I even doing.

Logbooks are still great and currency midget is a hero. I haven't been able to make Rog spit out anything absurd but he's a source of solid "meat and two veg" tier equipment.

Come on dude, you're smarter than this. Or at least you often claim to be.

Being "good" at PoE is largely being good at maximizing the efficiency of your available play time. Saying it's as simple as running your mouse across the items is just ignorant and completely disregards all the time you spent interacting with her map encounter and picking up all her trashcan artifacts. She's a complete time vampire that offers no tangible reward outside the niche SSF stuff or the chance orb addicts. Even acknowledging her existence in a map is literally costing you money (efficiency), so the only correct way to play her is to not play her.

Gwennen encounters drop more than just artifacts. It's a byproduct that can turn into free shit. If you're min-maxing and skipping it I don't know what to say. That's a $$$ mindset that makes POE a job, not a game.

You get a free curency (oh man the uproar if it was shared with the other vendors) that you can then use to try and RNG god your way to a HH or just spam for high ilvl item bases/influences at 0 cost. You can just sell it to people, sure, or you can just burn it for free currency.

Seriously I don't understand some of you.

Quite a big patch incoming:

Almost every league has some random “X can now offer ilvl 86 items” fix. Going back to fix that shit tells me they don’t even remotely understand the loot situation in their game post-first weekend.

"Fixed a bug where characters with the Eldritch Battery Keystone Passive allocated would sometimes play their out of mana voiceline when using a skill, despite having enough Energy Shield to use the skill."

League instantly better.

edit -

"The Remnant modifier that grants chests more Rarity no longer rolls in Logbook areas. The reason behind this change is that chests in Logbook areas drop extremely few regular items, so this modifier was not very beneficial here."

Wait, the rarity boost only impacts regular items from chests? Have I just never read the fucking thing properly?

It's not about jobifying PoE, it's quite the opposite of that.

Unless you're a mega no lifer the best thing you can improve upon in PoE is optimizing the play time you do have. If you can only play a few hours a week it's insanely important that you use that time well, or else you'll never actually get anywhere in terms of progression.

If you wanna derp around and just play a character to 85 before being done then whatever, but to sit here and tell people to spend their valuable time running a piece of the league mechanic that literally costs you money vs doing basically any other type of content is some real fucking smoothbrain shit.

Finally getting around to trying out spectral helix.

Feels pretty fucking miserable during leveling. The delay between attacking and your projectiles actually hitting mobs makes general clear really stilted, and rather deadly sometimes cause stuff is just alive for way longer than you're used to vs something like frostblades.

Overlap of projectiles on big bosses is pretty nice. Am mildly annoyed it doesn't say you can't use additional projectiles, but it seems to ignore any source of additionals from everything I've tested.

On the fattest bosses like kitava or the trio it's quite a lot, like 3-5 per projectile?

It's way, way worse vs anything human sized though, and is very random depending on where they move. They can sometimes talk in to a couple extra hits, but I wouldn't count on anything more than a single hit per projectile.

Clearing regular packs still feels awful. You just take so much damage from shit while you wait for the projectiles to orbit back around, and it's not like they are clearing an entire pack on their second orbit cause the hitbox on it isn't that big. Maybe you can fix it with proj speed and herald of ice?

Poison prolif(Binos or Pathfinder) is the only build I've heard that wouldn't, in theory, make the clear not ass.

I've been leveling up a Deadeye that's Ice Spear in a Poet's Pen and Hydrosphere, Sniper's Mark, and Eye of Winter connected to Spellslinger. Quite fun, shitting out ping-ponging projectiles everywhere. Going to eventually transition into a build that's CoC for the Ice Spear and Eye of Winter, along with Leadership's Price and Painseeker. I'm expecting Secrets of Suffering and Leadership's Price to become more popular in a league or two.

Isn't there a bug with painseeker where it still applies alt aliments with crit? I read this effectively gives you 200% more damage with ailments.

Reddit provided the make up and wig and he put it on.

I swear to fuck I immediately tune out anyone that brings up bringing back harvest at this point.

It ain't happening. Move on with your lives.

Yeah Ziz was letting chat get to him.
