Ultima66 posted:Well then, someone might want to verify this before anyone decides to go DW Lacerate: Ok I just checked this out myself. It looks like this is indeed a bug with Lacerate. However, it goes away if you put your sword in the offhand and your mace in the main hand. This means you can't use Scaeva, since the good thing about Scaeva is the crit chance in main hand. So, find a crit sword that's not Scaeva, or use Sword + Shield. E: my proof here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeaUlEU3s4o Ultima66 fucked around with this message at 07:01 on Jun 14, 2016 |

I am really enjoying this league. After perandus I am somewhat burnt out on grinding high level maps, so chasing prophecies all over merc has been nice. Also got the 36 challenges done, without hitting 90. Now I am working towards getting currency to play life based bladefall trapper. Going way way out of my comfort zone on that.

Challenges seem remarkably easier this league. Trying to figure the four I'll skip and currently thinking: two endgame grinds, maps from map bosses, div cards, and the unique strongbox. What are other people thinking?

You can't really plan around unique strongbox. Assuming you're in the guild, people will usually share their 2nd+ unique strongbox.

Strongbox one is pretty easy this league, they bumped their spawn rate significantly and there is at least one prophecy that gives you one for free. e; Plaguemaw quest chain gives you a unique strongbox.

Ultima66 posted:You won't hit crit cap, and you won't get to cap with AM either. A 10% base crit sword needs 850% increased crit chance to hit crit cap. Twin Terrors is 125, Disemboweling is 135, Fatal Blade is 110, Eagle Eye is 32. 3 Power charges is 150. This adds up to 552, so you'd need 300% increased crit chance on gear to hit crit cap. With only 1 ring giving crit, you should expect ~100% increased crit chance on gear, giving 75% crit chance. You can hit crit cap with Rat's Nest + 2 Diamond Rings + Maligaro's Virtuosity + Crit neck with AM, but there's no need to get to crit cap, you'll need the hat to cover resists unless resists on your other gear is insane, and Voidheart is way better than any Diamond Ring. Good point about Vulnerability. I'm actually going to end up using the Increased Critical Strikes gem, though, which will allow me to hit slightly over 85% crit chance before gear with the Scaeva I have currently. A perfect Scaeva would make that just shy of 90% before gear, for reference. That's not including a 20% quality Increased Critical Strikes Support (since that would be pretty low on the list of upgrades to spend my meager funds on). I'm expecting to use Maligaro's Virtuosity, and between that and a single piece of crit jewelry I was lucky enough to find, I'll be capped. Past experience with Crit Reave characters has led me to find that consistent critical strikes are the most important factor for improving clearspeed, even if you get a bit less raw DPS. It's also way more satisfying to play  That being said, the difference between Vulnerability and Assassin's Mark will take some multi-faceted mathing to determine. If the difference between the two is not very great, I may settle on Assassin's Mark purely for the extra charge generation source, in case I'm in a stun immune map or something. Edit: Ultima66 posted:Ok I just checked this out myself. It looks like this is indeed a bug with Lacerate. However, it goes away if you put your sword in the offhand and your mace in the main hand.

This is a really crummy bug, hope it gets fixed soon. I'm glad it's not affecting Reave at least. Tykero fucked around with this message at 17:50 on Jun 14, 2016 |

I'm perfectly okay with how the challenges are right now, there's only a few 'gently caress you' tier challenges and you can skip those to get the monkey. You still have to play A LOT to get all of the items.

The game has been getting progressively less playable over the last 10 patches, and is now at the point where I don't even bother playing in groups unless I'm just trying to do a daily or whatever. Last season I even had to abandon a summoner character altogether because it was lagging even solo. If I could play this game at 60+fps lag free, I would spend far more time and money on it.

I'm not playing on a potato (GTX 970, 4790k, 8GB ram, SSD) and the game's performance is definitely worse now than it ever has been for me, aside from the initial load to log in screen which is much faster. I still get these microstutters sometimes when hitting a decent size pack of mobs, and every now and then I get this kind of freeze for 5-10 seconds. 2 patches or so ago I was crashing to desktop semi frequently, but the last few patches seemed to have resolved that. Compared to perandus league, I'd have some relatively minor fps drops here and there on perandus packs, but the overall performance of the game was better and never crashed or froze like this. They definitely have some work to do on this preloading business they changed with 2.3.

I have the same setup (without the SSD) and have the same problems. Perandus never gave me any problems, but this league is awful.

I've never had performance issues (a-har), but started joining Zana rotations recently and holy hell, I'm lucky to get 6fps when in a group of six skill spamming lunatics. Is that pretty much the same for all? I'm not running on a potato here, this is a half decent rig.

Not terribly surprising. At least you don't freeze for 30 seconds whenever a party member zones in wearing every piece of MTX imaginable (/me looks at the rest of you fuckers) Voxx posted:Jeb is a mess Jeb needs to stop putting lovely music in his videos.

According to them, the preloading thing helped 99% of users (including myself, my computer is a little better than yours, but I've been playing without a single issue all league), and they need more info to figure out the few remaining problems.

In cali, a comcast backbone to networklayer (the poe service provider) has been consistently having packetloss issues for the past few days. This has been causing disconnects and loading delays for me but none of those 10s freezes.

It's a weird packet thing for me since I can sit in town and have my frames and ping spike really bad. I don't get it in any other game.

The game is crashing a lot more and taking twice as long to load zones. It's mostly because they added background preloading to the game. Try appending --noasync to the end of your shortcut.

Which ascendency should I use for softcore EQ? I went Champion last league and really liked it, but the always on fortify seemed redundant since I wasn't really bothered by using leap slam+fortify+faster casting (which is what I was doing before I got that last always fortified node). I can't decide between Slayer and Juggernaut, slightly leaning towards Juggernaut. Thoughts/opinions? Edit: Performance; I've heard that their new sound engine might be causing some of these issues, a podcast I listen to suggested turning off reverb. I haven't tried it yet.
