Does the decline in thread traffic mean the servers are stable now? I'm about 60 minutes away from being able to play :woop:

Didn't pay attention to the beta at all and popping into this game after a while.

I like the fact that the streamlined a bunch of act 3. That felt much less annoying to run through. Just about to get to the new acts, so looking forward to that.

Is there no way to find out how much % life you have from the passive tree, save adding up the nodes yourself?

Also, this mini map system owns.

Import your tree (log in on PoE site, character -> Passive Tree, copy URL) into something like Path of Building (aka "Single Player, Offline PoE").

I play this on and off every time there's a new league, but always burn out having to go through the game three times and so I've never actually gotten to endgame. With the new structure I'm looking forward to actually doing some Maps and whatever other exciting stuff there is to do! The map changes are loving awesome, no more having to run around desperately searching for the waypoints.

Everyone was experiencing this kind of burn out in some way or another. Myself, I couldn't possibly level more then one character a league it was so drat repetitive. Really liking the changes ive experienced thus far. My only criticism is I wish they put more work into altering the tree. For example, I really like projectile attacks, like bows, and I don't mind like; but, i absolutely will not make another bow ranger that follows the same exact path and struggles to get 200% life while just grabbing the important bow clusters.

Game's assets are stored in a single archive. That causes Steam patches to take forever.

Can this league be renamed to smurfs? Fighting some blue mobs once or twice per zone so far is greatly engaging.

Do I need to have all 8 slots for skills?

I'd prefer not to have to gimp my character just to use space to move instead of the left mouse button.

PoE is basically about spamming a primary skill and/or using a movement skill to get around. You might not have a button for every single aura you want to run but once you toggle it on the first time you're good for the session.

I mean, it still requires a six link to do at all, but yeah, skeleton mages works now, it's strong.

Better than normal skeletons? I'm planning on doing them with spectres and a queen's escape. What gem links do you do for them?

Also apparently Dark Pact can PK your party members

Fat_Cow: Dec 12, 2009; Every time I yank a jawbone from a skull and ram it into an eyesocket, I know I'm building a better future.

So, this is my first time playing this, and I am following this build
https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1931084

Couple of questsions
1. It feels like i cant find any item "upgrades" I'm on Act 2 and i am still wearing stuff from Act 1, every drop seems "Meh"
2. The main talent that allows me to summon two totems seems cool, but unless I am blind, this guy build doesnt have a gem to summon a totem.

Using that Baron SRS build for my first time through the game. Just hit level 10 and having fun. What kind of gems should I use while leveling? Currently using freezing pulse, flame trap, and SRS. it's working well and everything is dying. I just have no currency and no idea what items are good as I go.

The main thing is to get support gems up ASAP. Melee Splash and Increased Minion Damage are both good.

Other than that, you'll get movement skills (flame dash, lightning warp) before too long and it's generally good to have at least one of those to get out of sticky situations.

Thanks. I looked for Melee Splash on the A1 vendor but couldn't find it. I'm really enjoying the game otherwise. It feels like D2 on steroids. I really like not knowing anything about it as I progress.

He has frostbolt socketed with spell totem which gives the totem that cats the spell.

Yes, acts one through four are still a thing and are mostly the same (RIP Warehouse District, it will be missed by no one), so you will kill all of those things. However there are also six brand new acts afterwards!

Is the un-upgraded Doomfletch (i.e. NOT Doomfletch Prism) worth using from 28 to 40? It still gives +110% phys as an element which doesn't seem at all bad to me.
