Jack Trades posted:Seriously, the game has this gigantic sphere grid thing and the gem system lets you create so many different cool combos but the game doesn't let you play around with those mechanics because you have to make a whole new character every time you want to properly test a new thing, it's infuriating. While I don't exactly share your issue since I enjoy rerolling and find it relaxing, rolling a new character in PoE is not exactly the same time commitment that it'd be in, say, an MMO. Once you get the hang of it you can get multiple characters in Merciless/whatever the equivalent fairly quickly and the more you play in the same league the more game-breaking uniques you'll have that make you breeze through the first acts like it's nobody's business. I understand this is not a solution for your complaint but if you just play the game I swear that after a while this kind of issue fades away. You'll have played through enough builds that you'll have multiple level 70+ characters on standard ready for you to playtest whatever you want because the sphere grid gets reset far more often than you imagine. In a way that's pretty much the filthy casuals league you're asking for. You don't get to the point you want immediately but if you've done Uber Izaro then you probably know the ins and outs of the game enough not to have an issue getting there.

When exactly does it launch on the 4th? If it launches at midnight NZ time won't that be like 8AM of the 3rd EST? I just started playing in legacy so I'm not sure how this has worked in the past. I've worked every drat holiday this year so I'M TAKING OFF TO PLAY VIDYA GAMES.

I backed this game way back when and I feel like I've done the first quest a dozen or so times over the years. I've been playing a mess of D3 and got the itch for some arpgs again. Is now a bad time to (re)start what with the impending patch? Is leagues this game's equivalent to seasons in D3? What do people usually play in?

If you want to keep your progress I would say now is a bad time to start. With the expansion coming I would suggest rolling a new character then, whether you want to join the new league or play Standard. Most goons, and people in general just play in the leagues which are similar to seasons, but they always introduce new mechanics so the difference between Standard and the ongoing league is larger than it is between Season and non-Season in D3. Currently there is a two-week race which is where most of us are right now. There are still a few around in the leagues, but since they've been running for so long they are mostly dead and standard is currently completely dead from what I can tell.

Now as in "right now, today" would be a bad time if you're looking for progressing a characters for months like in a D3 league. Now as in "this moment in time considering the lifespan of the game" I'd say it's the best time ever given that there's a major expansion upcoming. With that said if you want you can jump in the current temporary league. It's your last chance to play the classic normal/cruel/merciless difficulty scheme and if you can get to level 40 (I think?) you have the chance to win a free mtx.

Filthy Monkey posted:Path of Building is really handy when trying to plan things out on your own. The 'show node power' checkbox is basically magic when it comes to figuring out the path you want to take going through the grid. The ability to see exactly how much dps/life each node will add to your build is huge. The average per point is also extremely useful when considering which of two branches is most appropriate.

The only thing I've struggled with in Path of Building (and to be honest not put much effort into looking for a solution) when I want to plan my own build from scratch is the gear side of things, what do you guys do, just throw in some staple uniques and create some rares? The time it would take to "create" average rares for the build just puts me off, so I dont really make full use of the power of it until I have gear already and can just import it.

This is a pretty handy script that gives you a copy button on poe.trade. https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/66yxs9/tool_copy_items_from_poetrade_into_path_of/ You can then paste the item into your path of building setup. Makes it easy to see if an item is a real upgrade for you.

Most of the time I don't even bother with rares. I plug in my build enabling uniques and work it out from there. If the numbers are good with mostly a skeleton, they'll be great with real gear.

So is there a way to make loot drops player-specific when playing with groups? I played with a group recently and this one dude was running around collecting all the orbs, items, etc. that dropped while everyone else was busy killing stuff. It was pretty annoying.

The default loot is short allocation, where anything valuable is only grabable by one person for a five seconds, but after that it is up for grabs. You can change it to permanent allocation, which keeps it locked to the person. http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Item_allocation

And if you're joining a public party from the list, the icon on the left tells you what item allocation mode it is. Green = Permanent, Yellow = Short, Red = FFA.

There's already a list of default average rares under the list of the uniques. All the yellow armor pieces you can drag in from below the uniques don't have resistances set, but they have decent life rolls and local defense, or move speed if they're boots.

Whats a reasonable amount of DPS in PoB? I was fooling around with the build I want to do next league (varanastra dual cleave gladiator) and I was between 90-100k but that number doesn't really mean anything to me especially when I'm seeing numbers like 750k thrown around.

Your build with 90k DPS & whirling blades will probably clear faster (maps, probably not bosses) than the RF totem build will

Sunder seems like it is going to be the popular melee starter. I took one of the guides somebody made and popped it into path of building. Can pull 90k with just the initial impact damage on a 5L, and the character is nearly naked. Doesn't even count the shockwaves or bleedsplosions. Also 217% life from the tree alone. https://pastebin.com/vgTDQW3R Threw soul taker on him, just to have a baseline axe to compare against. Doesn't actually need to be soul taker.

I really wish they would just add the option for instanced loot. I know it's seen as casual or whatever but it makes the experience more pleasant for everyone. Maybe this says more about the people I play with but this game is so full of superstitious gambling addicts that seeing other people's loot is just kind of vicious.
