I dislike it as the whole "lets shower the players with old league only uniques" really takes a piss from a great height on people like my self that made a huge effort to collect them in the first place.

That aside though I agree, a few weeks from now I don't see the league having even close to the same retention rate as Talisman for example.

Lol if he thinks this game will get diablo 3 syndrome just because we can get items a bit easier. You still have a million builds you can play. And lab enchants to get.

PoE grognards are the best. Yes clearly the league with the unprecedented player numbers that provides rewards that everyone can enjoy and incorporates a meta-changing new element to the game and massively expands build options while streamlining the trading process so people don't ragequit trying to buy a belt they want, is going to tank HARD.

I bet the person making that comment relied on a bunch of RMT'ing to get where he was and now it's all been pissed against the wall. Lolllllllllllllllllllllllll

Boss, if they make us find seven lost crystals, I'm quitting.

It's mostly from Trappers being big right now and Assassin being hilariously busted.

edit: I really hope there's a bunch of people who paid real money for Headhunters and Skyforths and poo poo making GBS threads themselves with rage right now. I almost want to go look for some POE RMT board and watch the bitching.

So busted that you can still achieve 95% crit chance on ice spear EVEN WHILE WEARING A MARYLENE'S FALLACY :getin:

That sounds sweet. I've got my eye on an Ice Spear build for my next dude but I'm not totally sure which way to go. Mathil did that video on the Inquisitor which sounded pretty cool, but it looks like everyone is all over Assassin so I'm not sure.

Magus42 posted:

Could you post your tree? That sounds interesting.

Using the official skill tree, I've been working towards a build like this.

I've got nowhere near enough points to comfortably go crit, so I've been trying to scale the damage with the duration nodes I already have by using poison. The primary link is Blade Vortex + Poison + Spell Echo + Controlled Destruction. Additional links could be used for Faster Casting, Increased Duration, Life Leech, Increased Area of Effect or Concentrated Effect, depending on what you're looking for.

For gear, other than Cybil's Paw (and a Rathpith Globe I can't yet afford), stacking energy shield gear with life and resists covers everything. Physical damage is mitigated through Enduring Cry, a Chaos Golem and Arctic Armor. The only things the build finds really dangerous are occasional huge hits that you don't manage to block, which you can only really manage by building a really huge combined pool of life and energy shield while cursing everything with Enfeeble.

It's not just Assassin. The class everyone was saying was by far the shittiest Ascendancy, Saboteur, is actually much more popular, and is among the top few classes of all the charts. I mean I'm sure most of it is that Pohx is one of the most high profile streamers and basically stood his ground on Saboteur being what he thought was the most powerful Ascendancy all through the alpha, and making lots of videos showing how busted it was.

I got a consuming dark dagger last night from Cadiro for pretty cheap. It's 50% damage conversion. The infernal mantles I see on poe.trade are all 25% conversion. Can you still get 100% fire to damage conversion from another unique or is it now capped at 75% now?

Lol no, it definitely is. New players bitched and wanted free loot because they felt entitled to it because they "paid" for a subscription to the game. Blizzard met their demands and completely ruined their biggest franchise game.

They changed the game entirely around the new growing player base, making everything easier, more simplified.

I mean youre free to think what you what but the reason i stated is why. I didnt leave because i was bored, neither did my 100+ friends on my battlenet. They left because the game took turns for the worst to conform to a separate group of players, which didnt make up the majority of their player base, hints the hemorrhaging and why Blizzard will no longer ever comment on World of Warcrafts subscription situation.

If World of Warcraft still had its complexity and they kept it more towards it Burning Crusade and Wrath of the Lich King roots, i would absolutely still be playing it.

Lol the "Special Snowflake" term comes back from World of Warcraft users. Look at how all the "casuals" using that term ruined World of Warcraft. Lost 7 million subscribers down from 14 million in a few months and theyve been bleeding subscriptions ever since, in addition to releasing some of the worst expansions in history.

I'm liking the game a lot more then the early days where 90% of your passives had to be set to as much life % as possible and finding a 4 link was something to be cherished because you could finally use that rare build defining gem that you paid some random guy 18 chaos for.

Pretty much all the builds I play fall into the low-to-mid budget category (the only exception was voltaxic last league, mainly because i successfully pre-empted the rise in voltaxic price when it got popularised by Mathil). My 6-link? It was bought corrupted from a strongbox for 20 chaos. Easier gearing? That's good for me, i like building a diverse range of playstyles.

Talisman and Perandus are going to great for me, because there are an unprecedented number of build varieties, easier gearing helps me hit the breakpoints in those builds faster. I'm playing BV Necro, the only things I'm after are a Carcass Jack and either a Voidbringer or a Mali's. After that, I'm going to start assembling gear for a crit earthquake assassin, only things I need are a Coil and an Abyssus. In fact, I'm going to buy a pile of Abyssuses and start rolling Labyrinth enchants on them. If that goes through, I'll see what other cool builds are going to be available.

Firestorm just works so well because you are not near any bow nodes and won't be pathing in the direction of any of them. There's fire, elemental and spell damage nodes all around the Marauder/Templar area that are easy to grab.

You could level as Spark or any spell really, and skip the fire nodes until you swap to EA.

I leveled my EA Scion as Firestorm/Flametotem and it was extremely easy and smooth. You can swap pretty early if you want also, pick up Blood Magic and Elemental Equilibrium and you're good to go.

Bleeeeeeech. Can't even use a bow levelling up that way since you don't get bow nodes early, just maybe some attack speed. I just don't like the whole 'level up as an entirely different style then do a 180 at level 38' type of thing. Will try to suffer through it I guess.

I'll override the spell ones, but I'll keep any which roll well with crit attack skills.

Yup, kind of reminds me with magic cards how some people have these older ultra rare cards that sit in their basement so nobody can play with them in tournaments since they don't allow proxies. Ever notice how the people who pour 60 hours into poe within the first 3 days of the league never seem to enjoy the game? I watch streams sometimes and they always log off with a sigh or a complaint. It's really depressing. I mean I know most people don't express their enjoyment by going "golly jee wilickers that was swell I'm having such a great time" but I never hear them even say like "that was loving cool" or anything even close. Whatever, gently caress em, league is fun what more do people want.

So I was doing maps when I see Cadiro eagerly trying to sell me one of his precious items. I went to him and he offered me an aegis aurora for cheap and I immediately bought it. What is this shield good for? I know its expensive but is there a build that uses this? I was thinking of selling it and buying something like shavronne's since I get to try low life builds for once unless there is something fun to use it with.

zadiel was disappointed to discover that there are no rare mobs in cruel izaro's room, and thus he would still not be able to kill him even with a headhunter.
