How long has this game existed? Seems pretty polished but also missing some common things. I seem to always join a game quite a while after it's release which means there's a massive learning curve which was more gradual for old timers as they released new features. EDIT: Turns out it's October 2013, so yes I am late to the party.

Why is there no force move keybind on its own still  Taking up a skill slot is baffling.

I can't think of a single build that uses every single skill slot as an active ability. I guess maybe if you did a summoner where everything was self-cast and multiple curses? But usually the only way you fill up everything is auras and those don't need to be actively visible.

I frequently run out of key binds because I'm a fag who loves having a 2L skill or whatever if I have the slots for it and it's situationaly useful. Also, I really hate loving with auras when I die or log in or whatever.

I hate auras too and wish I could be blood magic on every character but playing without Warlord's Mark + Blasphemy  also: anyone who ever done a Queen of the Forest build; how much evasion % you need to get from the tree with average to poo poo gear to not be slow as balls?

Every time I've used it I've run Grace to have minimum 10000 evasion. The only annoyance is being in towns where your auras are turned off. If you're not using Grace you'd have to be using a really good shield for justify wearing it.

New Ascendancy reveals: Marauder's Berserker subclass (weird as gently caress, seems like one of the weakest ascendancy classes shown so far) http://www.pcgamer.com/path-of-exiles-new-ascendancy-class-is-the-berserker/  Templar Hierophant (Really loving good.

Holy poo poo hierophant looks amazing. edit: Berserker looks like it's encouraging a high risk/reward thing with maybe a lower overall healthpool and high regen/LL but the advantages don't seem worthwhile. RosaParksOfDip fucked around with this message at 21:17 on Jan 28, 2016 |

Casting on ES is usually much, much more painful I have found, given that you can't regen ES naturally without stopping to spend, so at the very least this means no mvmt skill, and it usually means "no spamming skill" too.

Any recommendations for a beginner Shadow build in the Talisman league? Just starting with a friend and I don't have the faintest idea what he should try.

Bugsy posted:And the ranger one as well: http://www.gametrailers.com/videos/view/gametrailers-com/116744-Path-of-Exile-Pathfinder-Class-Reveal I like this one even though it doesn't have a huge deal going for it besides the flask charge on crit and regaining flask charges every 3 seconds things. It's nice to know that having 100% chance to avoid elemental status prevents floor effects. I was curious if that would work but never tried it out because it required actually wearing Icetomb.

theshim posted:Hierophant seems loving busted It is worth noting that 10% less damage per totem actually makes a huge difference. 4 totems deal as much as 2.62 totems without any damage penalties (with much more consistent damage and more covered area). 5 totems actually deal less than a normal 3 totem build. But then you still have your three free five links from Illuminated Devotion or your free charges from Conviction of Power.

Most likely with a shield but hopefully not Grace. Trying to come up with a trapper build that actually has defences for ascendency. It'll be non-crit and not sure on whether it'll be MoM (with or without auras) or Blood Magic yet but I want to try to run that Clear Mind jewel

You also get 32% cast speed with 4 totems out from Pursuit of Faith so that should help out with the less damage per totem thing. Thats a lot of cast speed.

Take Revenge of the Hunted and Survivalist, and with okay evasion gear and a couple more ev nodes or a lot of dex where you can find them you can even out your speed. Good gear will give you a speed boost. Running grace on top of that would give you like +20-30% move speed.

So what are peoples gotos for races these days? Still fire trap bootstrapping? I'd like to target that 100 point Whispering Ice, which totally seems doable without too much time investment (15 races or so at 7 points a race)

You need consistent frenzy charge generation. Assassin's mark, blood dance, blood rage, etc are generally used for regular flicker. Oro's if you go for the charges on ignite variant but oro's is like, level 67.

Well, RIP level 84 tank char. Another new experience I had no clue about. Saw Zana for the first time, went into her mission. Got to boss area, boss put down a bunch of totems, lightning beam came out, full HP to dead in under 3 seconds, and that included me emptying my instant HP flask. No idea what encounter this actually was, it was the prison tileset and the boss looked like one of the miscreations. 6k HP, 50k armor, resistances capped, meant nothing.

That beam will destroy just about any character, you have to use the pillars in the room to run away and hide and then attack the boss before it does it again.

Berserker seems really lame. I don't want to be getting hit for more than 20% of maximum life at all ever, and if it happens I certainly don't want it to be a regular occurrence. The other 2 classes seem pretty cool though.

Ah. You probably don't want to level as flicker if you're waiting on Oro's for your charge generation. I think people run molten strike or flame totem till they get their oro's going. Or you might be able to run blood rage and assassin's mark but I don't know if you'd do enough damage to maintain it considering you're likely sinking points into fire damage and not phys.

Another question: Since it's possible for The Whispering Ice to drop way before monsters are level 50, if you get like an ilvl40 Whispering Ice, does that mean you can never 6 socket it? Because normally items below 50 can't get 6 sockets, I'm not sure about using jeweler's orbs on them.
