So the build I'm running recommends keeping a couple gems under max level. Is there any way to make the level-up gem prompt not show on the side of the screen so I WON'T absolutely end up clicking it by accident during a stressful fight and ruining everything?

right click it and it will move to a little place in your inventory where you probably wont mistakenly click it

btw if you ever end up leveling a gem too far by accident everything is not ruined! sell the gem + an orb of scouring to a merchant and you will get the gem back minus one level. if for some reason you want to get a gem back to level 1 you can do the gem + an orb of regret.

So this is the crazy loving build I worked out today: https://www.pathofexile.com/passive...NmnCJ2uGmz3wQ== It is a CI, Crown of Eyes, Doomfletch's Prism non-crit build. CoE is the only expensive part. I have 188% ES, but there's at least 3 locations that I'm planning on putting an Energy from Within to convert the life over, for a total of anywhere from 250-280%. Pick this poo poo apart so I can have something to play after lunch, please goons. edit: yes I know there's some easy jewels and stuff, I'll get those if my ES is overkill.

I'm not going to bother with it. I'm sitting at 7500ES right now and I'm about to pick up another ~60% on my tree in the next 6 levels. I am level 69. Doomfletch is neat.

If you're looking for an ARPG fix, D3 will make you feel powerful right away and the combat is quicker - but there are ultimately fewer build options and much less to pay attention to. PoE takes about an hour or two for your character/combat to feel good, but you'll keep getting faster & stronger as you reach endgame. There are many more character builds, and there's more to pay attention to - looting, gearing and trading are more complex. Play PoE since it's completely free, all future content is free, the developers are the most active of any ARPG ever and there's no pay-to-win elements. If you don't like it you didn't lose out on anything!

Turtlicious posted:Which is better this or Diablo III? Why? I'm also asking in the D3 thread. Diablo 3 is unplayable because you can't rebind left click to force move, making it a pain in the rear end to maneuver in battle. "Oh, I need to move away from these cold bombs? Lemme just swing at this random trash mob instead." Actually, you can't rebind the left and right mouse buttons at all, which is inexcusable for a PC game. Also, PoE won't cost you anything to play for a couple of hours.

Dream Attack posted:If you're looking for an ARPG fix, D3 will make you feel powerful right away and the combat is quicker - but there are ultimately fewer build options and much less to pay attention to. To phrase this differently, D3 is more about minute to minute gameplay and sacrifices a lot of character depth to make sure players can't really gently caress up their characters and make one that feels like poo poo to play. Path of Exile is pretty much a celebration of character building, with the deepest character customization of any ARPG. Good characters feel incredibly powerful, there's room for bizarre gimmick builds, and you can play for 500 hours and still be building characters that are significantly different from your previous characters. Whether you like one more than the other is based largely on whether you want to smash things with a hammer in a way that's immediately satisfying, or whether you wanna set up your hammerguy to be able to smash things in a satisfying manner over the course of like 10 hours of building him up to be a Cool Dude.

Turtlicious posted:Which is better this or Diablo III? Why? I'm also asking in the D3 thread. The only benefit that D3 has over PoE is better animation and feel. And an inability to gently caress up your character, I guess. PoE is fun if you liked making weird poo poo, like Hammerdins and melee Flame Enchant sorceresses.

Incidentally, can someone recommend a fun melee build? I've got my storm call witch running around but I'd love to play a smashy melee build with fast movement. Something around shield charge maybe? I've got a budget of like. 50c maybe.

A raider with cleave, spectral throw, reave, or static strike are all powerful and fun to play (mostly owing to the fact you have to constantly rush between packs to keep your raider buffs up). They can also get ridiculously good survivability by stacking evasion, getting up to 75% chance to evade, before factoring in acrobatics, blind, or block.

The important thing to remember about PoE is you don't have to be tryhard if you don't want to. Just mash together builds and see what happens. The endgame is optional, there's hundreds of things to try, and even more become possible as you fill out your collection of unique items. And you can pick up all the quirks of how exactly all the stats work as you go along. The one hard and fast rule about the skill tree that you need to know though, is that regardless of your build you want 8 or 9 full 'clusters' of "% increased maximum life" nodes by the time you hit level 70.

I'm having trouble with endgame defense these days.. Mainly because i don't have tons of hours of video games so when i get a character that i think will work well and it doesn't work out well on higher maps I'm usually too close ot the next league and quit till next league. I was playing mostly armor guys for years with high life and endurance charges and those worked fine, but getting bored with that. Tried out my first acrobatics/evasion/life character.. finding that i'm doing the HOLY gently caress!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111oneone when i get hit for 90% of my hp or getting destroyed on physical reflect. So what are some core skills combos for tree combos? Like, Armor/Leech/Resolute Technique/Determination, Armor/Unwavering Stance/Iron Reflexes/Determination I've never made an Energy Shield/Chaos Innoc/Chaos Reaver/Vaal pact character.. Are these such a thing as viable hybrid defense? like Evasion/Energy Shield or Armor/Energy shield?

Incredibly Long, but equally excellent, Developer Q&A posted today on pathofexile.com Click Here Seriously well worth the read. If you only got a couple of minutes though, you can probably ctrl+F and find any specifics you may be looking for. The questions pretty much cover everything. Even though the trading in this game is generaly described as toxic and terrible, I have to say the community is still one of the best I've seen. I mean, from what I've seen, Community Q&A's for other developers have been notoriously bad every single time. These questions however are really on point. Some of the answers are a little vague, but I'm sure for good reason. Solid read, check it out. 10bux fucked around with this message at 04:48 on Jul 5, 2016 |

I disagree, though in prophecy armor is significantly stronger than it was before due to Juggernaut buffs and Kaom's Sign's prophetic version. I just wish there was some way to convert the 7 frenzy charges you can easily get as a ranger to 7 endurance charges

Bugsy posted:You could link up an immortal call with your CWDT to give you some help with that for big hits. Even without endurance charge you still get some invulnerable to physical damage. Thanks for these suggestions. I've taken care of a few of them: https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/Jinnigan/characters Currently what I'm wondering is if there's another gem link I could be running.Of course I'm running Storm Call+damage/radius amps, then the curse on Hit/conductivity/herald link you suggested, and a CwDT/Immortal Call defenseive link. But that still leaves me with at least 2 more links I could be running? What could I put in there?

1. Swap Clarity and Wrath. The Faster Casting gem means you're reserving 60% of your mana with Wrath instead of 50%. 2. As Bugsy suggested, get a red socket on that chest armor (shouldn't be that hard) and put in a Less Duration. I'd take out Lightning Penetration (you don't have an alternate weapon setup for leveling other gems, you should fix this) and also keep an Increased Area of Effect and Concentrated Effect leveled. Should you ever get a 6 link then you'd have options for what your last gem would be. 3. If you can get away with not needing Clarity, I'd run Discipline instead. You'll need really good mana regen or leech because Wrath + Discipline = 85% mana reserved. 4. Although you have Flame Dash for your mobility skill, Lightning Warp - Faster Casting - Less Duration - Rapid Decay is the best unless you have a bunch of increased duration from the tree (which you don't, because that would be stupid as a Storm Caller). Get least those first 3 setup ASAP (Rapid Decay is only 15% reduced duration and doesn't scale with level) 5. If squishiness is a problem, I'd drop the Lightning Walker points and either fill out the Arcane Focus cluster or grab Foresight work on the rest of that ES wheel. More eHP is never a bad thing. ^^^ Oh yeah, Orb of Storms is a good suggestion for your "missing" link setup.

Also, if you're willing to sacrifice a chunk of your damage, dropping Wraith and your Curse on Hit setup, picking up the Whispers of Doom node for a second curse and running Blasphemy/Temp Chains/Enfeeble is amazing defensively but eats up 70% mana.
