Maybe you'd fancy a wonder if everyone prefers to keep the full map overlay open at all times?

It always weirds me out when people say that D3 has a better map than PoE. Using the PoE map is like wanking with a velvet glove compared to D3's cheese grater.

Uh, you've got those backwards.

TheRat posted:

Have you tried actually manoeuvring while the D3 map is open? It makes you want to uninstall and/or kill yourself.

That's a solvable design choice; D3 doesn't allow you to click through the map. You could easily allow that. D3's map is infinitely more readable.

WB seems to have less of an issue with this than shield charge, but SC gets stuck on every god drat slight rock that happens to be within 5 meters of your character.

I really wish they'd fudge it instead of stopping your character dead in its tracks because its hitbox clips the terrain by 2 loving pixels. :argh:

Do two weapons with essence of hysteria mods share the same internal cooldown or do they have independent cooldowns? Thinking of running an abberath hooves build in legacy and I want to compare fire burst to that new staff with hella flat fire damage.

How about decay weapons? Would dual wielding daggers result in 2 decay applications per hit?

It used to at least, but a dev said it was a bug. Not sure if they've fixed it yet though.

It actually takes quite a few days to get to 1c. Breach had it take a week.

does that look like a viable league starter? Really only needs an essence of hysteria, which will hopefully be a bit more common since people can run essence. 6S staff like WI should be easy to get. It's different than other builds i've played so it sounds kinda fun.
I think I know what I'm doing now - maybe transferring into Oro flickerstrike.

I sometimes pull up the full map because I can see more of it in that mode. Maps are pretty huge.

Any tips on making a flicker strike build that works?

I mean I know your panda clue, but I could bring up my grievances with this game and all (and in fact have before)

You know what gently caress it lets start with something that came up a few pages ago.

I find this games art style horrendeously muddy. It can be frustratingly unclear with what it needs to visual communicate to the player at dozens of points in this game.
I was going to type a longer post but :effort:

The gists of my complaints are that it is a fatiguing game visually. Which makes it harder to play in greater than 1hr runs. I want to feel good about playing this game but drat if it doesn't make it hard to do so.

btw saying 'PANDA CLUE' doesn't immediately invalidate the information I'm providing in any given post. My reputation comes from sometimes being a sarcastic smartass, not from providing any sort of misinformation.
