Path of Exile

1. Bladestorm's initial hit doesn't actually hit.
2. We're aware that many players are feeling frustrated that some on-kill mechanics don't currently interact nicely with Legion, including the explosions from Gratuitous Violence on the Gladiator's Ascendancy Skill Tree, in addition to a few other Ascendancy skills.

Glass cannon? You can build it to be relatively tanky. A bit one-shotty since it's mostly evasion, but certainly not a glass cannon.

I'm going to try this next.

Ok guys, I've been testing some low-level legion farming and here's what I've found.

Alleyways (T2) is by far the best map. The legion is close to the entrance, and in an open area 95% of the time. 5% of the time, a master could appear on the map, which for some reason causes it to spawn further in. I still go in and try to find it but i wont waste too much time on it. I'm able to do 1 map every 1.4-1.5 minutes or so depending.

Players sell this map for 1 alch or 1 fusing, and you more than make that up in the first few seconds of a map. On a shitty map, you'll at least break even. Density is huge at the start of the map too. Every 20 maps you end up with about 10-15 templar, 5-10 maraketh, 20-30 eternal empire, 10-20 vaal, and 45-60 karui splinters. You will get about 2-6 stacked decks, sometimes more. I've had a 45c sword drop as well (last map of below video), and about 5-8 incubators per 20 maps. Saints Treasure drops from here, and I've gotten 2 cards in 60 maps. 10 cards gives 2 ex. Also notice the charged breachstone in there, that was from an incubator I got from farming. All the incubators are ones I got from the alleyways farm.

(I just uploaded the video so if its 360p its still processing)

I played this game when it was in beta and then again (briefly) at launch. Just came back to it now and... wow. It is like a whole other language people are speaking in general/trade.

Up to mid 50s, doing a Witch build into Specters. Did not really look too much up, but it seems I am only 10ish points off of most of the popular Legion builds.

Guess it is okay for farming stuff, so long as I stay off screen and let the pets do their work.

So starting my 3rd lvl thru the acts. Oddly enough the more times I go thru the story (I hate it) the longer it takes.

yeah. This was my big deal with melee. and I've been behind. melee rework needs to pack in mobility to melee attacks. Thats the problem. The need to run into position. attack, run to straggler, attack, run to next pack, attack.
Ranged skills attack first, then move. And can target everything on screen, and usually a bit off screen, THEN move. So a melee is move, attack, move attack, move, attack. Ranged is attack, attack, move, attack attack move.
The "blink" skills do not solve this at all. They just add another useless keypress, and waste a gemslot.

I gave up on bladestorm. Swapped to Cyclone. same passives/skillgems.
That "first hit misses" is not 100%. but still the skill is just weak. The base hits need higher % or, blade/sandstorms need to stack higher then 3.

Also a raider so now my cyclone is god damned sonic/samus, spinning through at +70% move speed after all reductions..


Took molten shell off of cwdt. The duration, and instant cast. self cast is way better.

(I am way behind, not even in maps yet. work..)
