Thanks to whoever told me to grab some Zombros while I level an SRS build. I am steamrolling everything. I find it difficult to see what gear is a direct upgrade though. I understand the gems and linking and stuff, but what stats do I want since I'm not the one doing damage?

What's the ideal 4l setup for scorching ray while leveling?

I'm finding the new content pretty good, but the boss fights are almost uncomfortably intense. I like the mechanics of them, but there are a lot of instances of bullshit burst damage, almost every few seconds. If I'm not hammering my potion key I loving die. It's never in one hit, but one hit usually gets me down to numbers where a second hit will kill me. I should reiterate that I'm only talking about the god boss fights. Laser spider is a good example. She has that grid of lasers that basically make you run directly at her, but she also has a shotgun laser attack that can kill you in about 3-4 hits. If the timing works out such that she's doing a shotgun attack when laser grid herds you towards her, you're just hosed. That seven minutes in heaven with Brine King though, that was something completely different. I was so tense by the end of that fight. Brine King just wants a hug.  One thing that bothers me about the new difficulty set up is that I won't be able to farm these boss fights when I hit end game. The mechanics are super good and could work at any difficulty I imagine. I'd at least like to see some sort of way to revisit these boss fights at increased difficulty. (If there is one, someone correct me.)

Sounds like you're severely lacking in damage. Brine King is maybe a two minute fight.Anarkii posted:What's the ideal 4l setup for scorching ray while leveling? What's the plan, RF + SR, Firestorm + SR, or something else?

It was about a two minute fight. (It felt longer though, holy poo poo.) Edit: vvvvv I definitely agree. Like I said I do enjoy them. Brine King is probably one of my favorite boss fights in any action RPG ever. (I just started Act 8 though, so something better might happen.)

Based on GGG's previous design choices, I would guess that next time they update the atlas, they will add the new bosses to the top tier maps. They've said a number of times that their biggest thing is clever re-use of content, so it seems kind of inevitable. I heard a rumor that they're updating the atlas in 3.1, so that would be about 3 months from now.

Unlucky7 posted:I am still farting along Act 1 and I think I am near the end of it. Dumb story questions: Did I miss any dialogs with the town crew about who Piety actually is around the time she shows up? It is weird to see them act like she was always a known quantity in the dialogs that I did catch, which makes me think I missed a midquest one. Then again, no one is talking about the traveling priest that may or may not be going insane or the half dead seer, so v You haven't missed anything. The prison is the first time you meet her, but she's one of the Empire's lackeys, and most of the NPCs know her from Oriath. Piety's backstory comes out in Act 3, when one of the NPCs there opens up to you. They've added and changed some of the early acts' dialogue in 3.0, and it creates some situations where you're like "Am I supposed to know this person?"

For me it was usually by about level 70-75 depending on how well I was doing at endgame. Dunno how far I'd get nowadays. Still planning to come back and start playing again but I'm presently addicted to FFXIV, gotta wean myself off that first

Could you make a decent build by speccing for block chance and using reckoning or is that a stupid idea? The idea of killing with automatic counter attacks amuses me.

I'm really worried about when this melee difficulty I've heard about kicks in, because right now (act 6) my cyclone build is tearing through almost everything and I'm practically on autopilot. All my gear is two acts out of date and it doesn't even matter because outside of a few nasty bossfights I'm unkillable and everything dies in seconds.

I just attempted to sell a helmet with 87 life, 41 cold res, and 36 light res, poe.trade showed multiple for 1c, so I listed it there, even though that seemed a little low. The messages started coming in after about 10 minutes, and I took the item down almost immediately, but I proceeded to get messages for that item every 10 seconds at least for the next ten minutes until I got annoyed and exited the game. Something is wonky with trade right now, I'm not sure it can handle the load.

I liked most of the new bossfights a lot, except the A9 boss which overstayed its welcome. Did we REALLY need another fight? Also, A10 boss is the biggest visual mess in the game to date. Given it's the deadliest and longest of the act bosses as well, not great.

I'm running Storm Burst CwC Ball Lightning and I love the storm burst part but hate ball lightning in the build, it really struggles with single targets and bosses take forever. Ball Lightning is a really terrible spell and all these new bosses are so mobile that it only hits them for like one tick each before they dash out of the way. There don't seem to be any good single-target lighting spells, does anyone have a suggestion for what I can swap Ball Lightning for? Storm Burst is good enough for melting packs on its own. I'd do Frostbolt but it would have the same problem Ball Lightning does. I've never had to build for single target damage in this game so I don't know what spells are good for it. I'm sick of every act boss feeling like Shaper. edit: Overall Storm Burst is bad for CwC because you have to stop casting it to do most of its damage, and ramp-up for CwC to start casting is longer than its cast speed when you continue casting. I'm having fun with the build because I've wanted a lightning channeled spell for so long but would not recommend it. deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 22:37 on Aug 6, 2017 |
