But anyway, it looks like I'm gonna have to stop playing for a few weeks. This is unplayable. Only POE does this too so I know it's not my computer or connection.

Are you installed on an SSD/ is it an old install / is it steam version?

Try setting it to Predictive instead of Lockstep and see if things improve (you might get some rubberbanding though).

If that doesn't work, try adding --noasync to your launch options (right click on PoE in Steam library > properties > general > set launch options > paste "--noasync" with no quotes). This will make your load screens longer because the game will load all the assets it needs during zone transitions instead of loading them on the fly during gameplay. Some people get less stuttering during gameplay with this option on. I know it really helped me during Prophecy and Essence leagues when I was having terrible stuttering even on a SSD with 17ms ping, but something they changed made me no longer need it for Breach. Try it out, it might help or it might not.

I hope you find a way to make the game playable!

Yeah I already tried Predictive. It resulted in situations where my character would frequently warp back to where she was 4-5 seconds ago, and usually ending up dead because the server didn't think she was actually dodging all those fireballs.

I'll give the noasync flag a shot.

I get the catchup thing and poe has really been hitting my cpu hard recently. With the hot weather recently eventually my computer overheats too much and blue screens. The catchup thing happens a lot more frequently up until that point.
If I open my case and point a fan at it then it barely happens at all and my now cool computer stops blue screening.

Try putting on vsync if you don't have it on. It dropped my GPU temps from 78C to 59C because the game wasn't constantly using 100% of available GPU time.

Anyone know a good way to estimate Firestorm DPS? I came up with this for 3.0 hardcore and want to know how much DPS a ~10k average hit for Firestorm comes out to when you're doing Scorching Ray-CWC-Firestorm. It's block/spell block/spell dodge capped with Rumi's and Vaal Grace with 110% skill duration, wondering if the DPS will be high enough for it to be viable.

Could try this. Plugged in the numbers, came out to just over 230k.

Yeah, you're definitely describing a bad connection to the server. Sometimes certain ISPs have trouble getting to certain GGG gateways, try other gateways and try contacting GGG support. I've seen them troubleshoot issues like this with people on Reddit.

It was one of those 2hr Uber Beyond leagues or whatever, for some reason they let you use the MTX panel during it. I didn't even think of it at the time, but yeah it was a voided race.

JFC piscator's are insanely expensive this early in a league. And they're always like 1c at the end of a league. I knew I shouldn't have chosen immolate KB elewander as my first beta character.

Beta's been up for less than a week, that sorta counts like a league, right?

Many common or non-meta build-defining uniques cost an abnormal amount whenever a league starts, I suppose that's normal.

In that case, maybe I should respec out of wands, grab a lioneye's and start spamming that around. The good news is I basically don't need to change my tree. And because Lioneye's has such a high attack speed, you can essentially scale it like an elebow.

Ah, it seems that one isn't as updated like I expected.

It's just I think saw one new gem where you summoned beasts to fight for you? I was excited since I could maybe really play as a Ranger in my mind, bow in hand and animals at my side

There's a few other gems as of the latest update, tutorial supports that seem nice (onslaught and that one that's a chance to get a big more mod to spell damage for a few seconds on hit). Also quite a lot of existing uniques have been changed, like the free skills on Doryani's Fist and Al Dhih or number ranges made easier to roll like Doomsower.

It's just kind of a horrible fight. You have to kite the balls and keep moving, stopping to attack when you get some space. If you don't have any movespeed it's going to be rough, unless there IS some trick I didn't pick up on.

The balls speed up at certain stages, gotta stay on the move for em during that bit. Also if you're slow as balls (heh) used those dang movement skills you should be using anyways.

ugh how do i scale glacial cascade into the lategame as an elementalist? so far i've been using added fire damage and phys to lightning (to proc herald of thunder - coh - assassin's mark) but it's starting to hit a plateau, and i'm not even in yellow maps yet

my other question is: is there a cool ES regen build I could go with occultist?

You'll probably want to get winter spirit for cold damage conversion and link cold penetration over physical to lightning.
