do curious lockboxes drop loot aside from keys?

Yep. Random crap, some currency and rares, no cool things. The best I got out of Labyrinth Troves were corrupted items and sac fragments. The best I got out of a Emperor's Vaults was currency (with an exalt). So these are equivalent to the final treasure room's chests. Except I don't think the Trove/Vaults includes some of the cooler variations, like the map chest, or the leveled quality gems chest.

Heaps of Sheeps posted:Am I dumb for thinking jewels are a good thing to spent alts on until you get a good mod (life/%damage/etc) and then divine them and hope for the best? The market is pretty slim pickings at the moment. Jewel alt+regaling is a good way to make money at the start of the league, way better than banging your head against the tyrannical/merciless wall. I wouldn't divine jewels unless they have 4 good mods. 3 and 2 mods are just too cheap, you can buy a new one for the price of invested divines.

the treasure chests at the end can also drop keys. Dunno how common it is, but yeah, you can get 10 (or even more!) keys

After spending way too much time On poetrade I got the max block scorching ray build ticking over (except for the 6th link on the chest). It just melts everything. Bosses take longer of course, but you just shield charge away when you need to. Me like, lots Edit: what is the highest % movement speed you can get. Currently getting +35% when at full health.

Got back into the game w/ flame totem witch. Not particularly fond of the act extensions as they're all cut/paste reskins, and act 4 still sucks. Wish they'd make it easier to see in boss fights as the screens are so filled with poo poo and it can be difficult to distinguish what actually counts as a safe spot. I did like the brine king fight though, although again it was a bit messy on the effects I'm happy the 3-difficulty thing appears to be gone, but i think they could have just leveled content with the player to keep up the xp curve to a point

I learned that the trickster ascendancy has a passive for no mana cost movement abilities so I have to make a charged dash shadow now. I'll get some good use out of the tabula rasa I got from a prophecy plus the brightbeak i have.

i would be 100% okay with a d3 rift-esque system that allowed me to just open a level appropriate random zone and let me murder stuff instead of having to (literally) just speed through the acts to get to the end

I think that removing some of the more hardcore aspects would make the game too much like d3, and while d3 isn't all bad, making your game more like the game of a super rich competitor probably isnt a good idea

I like the challenging bits from maps and occasionally some boss fights, but the acts don't have any of that stuff. Hell why don't they make a league where every zone has map mods and do that, i'd play that. poo poo, i'd probably really like the game playthrough. Just make them level appropriate and don't add ones that are more standout difficult (So reflects etc) or build exclusive Sloober fucked around with this message at 13:56 on Aug 14, 2017 |

Sloober posted:This reminds me a great deal of the same arguments the permadeath players made about reducing the death exp penalty; and they can easily make leagues for whatever kind of race they want to make Because they have a lot of things to worry about. The Standard economy for example, since (as far as I've read) half the game's population plays Standard very regularly. Streamers, since they have to offer them an exciting competition to base their first few days of streaming a new league around. Newbies, who are probably not extremely well-versed in the game's balance and what makes a good build. Consider this: there's a massive variance between a good build and a bad build in PoE, but the devs want both to be able to play their game, or at least progress in some way. Level scaling would either make the game a complete snoozefest for the better half of the playerbase, or it'd make the game unplayably hard for the more casual/less experienced half. The solution is to make every build balanced of course, but that also most likely means removing gimmicks and player choice in general, like in diablo the third.

You're probably right but i get annoyed when people use the 'hardcore' excuse, because it was often used as a reasoning against anything that made it even slightly more player friendly.

I'm not a hardcore player, but I think it's useful to have a few things to really set your game apart from others of the same genre, and the incredibly rich competitive gameplay this game offers really is something else.

10bux posted:I've noticed quite a few goons wanting to play one of the Pathfinder/Raider Elemental Wander builds, so I just wanted to make a quick post to hopefully help you buy the best wand. Let me say first off, even though the wands aren't 10ex+ like the old phys wand builds, wanders are still expensive as gently caress too make. Keep that in mind if you wanna make one. You spent 200 chaos on a weapon that's worse than Piscator's Vigil for most use cases.

So I'm doing a goofy wild strike elementalist and I just got my cruel ascendancy for the always-up 25% ele damage pen. Holy poo poo everything explodes now. I'm glad I'll be getting reduced reflect damage before endgame or I'd be pasting myself every time. I'm also really liking building this character in general. The fact that 100% damage is converted and wild strike uses any weapon gives me huge flexibility in gearing. I see most of you are going mara and presumably mostly stacking +%phys... Is that more efficient than getting lots of integer ele damage? I'm using a high phys rare sword that also has a bunch of integer lite damage. Due to starting in witch, I've taken a bunch of ele damage nodes and not as many phys as mara would (but still some around templar and shadow), and I'm using ice/lite heralds and wrath. I'm unsure if I'll go RT or EO, but probably not crit. I guess I'll see how hard gearing acc is. Anyone have input on the various ways of increasing wild strike damage and their relative efficiency? It's not too late for me to refocus more on phys, but due to the nature of the top part of the tree I'd rather not.
