It increases the longevity of the game and also acts as a currency sink. Take some ritalin and level a new guy.

I think that's the major hangup with any new player is they see sword nodes and then think they have to get it and only go sword nodes then they bitch and you open up their tree and its literally every sword node and they get overwhelmed because now they have to spec out of 50 god drat sword nodes. offshoot of this is they also are now forced 2 go the one good unique in some build or whatever and its really expensive and their build sucks bc they don't know how 2 search for rares either.

If sweet sweet shatter is what you're after then GC miners are a great option. It's still crazy strong and a great league starter since you can run maps and even do shaper runs with zero investment and garbage gear. Of course, its a bit of a glass cannon and it does mean you have to play with mines, but I guess you can't have everything.

It's even stronger with all those gain % physical as extra damage Id'd from a vault map  You could run two of those, a shaper hat with remote mine + trap/mine damage and a kaoms heart now too

How do frostblade builds do against bosses, especially if they have ancestral call now? Or are they all going to want a molten strike setup? Was thinking of making a elementalist claw frostblade sort of thing.

I've never made my own build, and the recent Ancestral Call support made me want to make an MS Berserker because meatballs. https://pastebin.com/k703fZ0i Anyone want to give me advice on the tree?  I don't have gear up besides the Ngamahu's since I'm only concerned with the tree itself.

FB really doesn't need Ancestral Call, it already is a crowd clearer. In the olden days I would have said skip the AC and just use your normal 6L to kill bosses, but nowadays these kids just use a fake 6l in their friggen helmet or even weapon to kill bosses with a completely different skill.

I think inquisitor is in a much better place for elemental melee builds at the moment. I've been running an elemental reave/flurry build this league and its been performing very well so far with less than 10c of gear (I guess not including the tabula that I found), and it scales really hard. It's just a shame that prices of lycosaidae have been rocketing up, they were 30c a coupe of days in the league and now they are 150c. Gonna be a little while before i can afford one but I'm doing yellow maps comfortably. My character is PrincessEleFlurry https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/Stangg_187/characters

Oskarm gloves and high accuracy make Inquisitor attack builds great. I'm going to have ~5200 accuracy around level 90, which with those gloves translates into 52% to crit. They're loving insane and I'm not even doing a build that has a lot of accuracy options.

Also means I might not need to use Lycosidae and can use a stat stick Mace or something instead. Actually running the numbers it seems oskarm are a dps loss vs any gloves with flat ele damage and attack speed with my current set up, even if I add some gear with flat accuracy. Maligaro's are still an upgrade though. Stangg fucked around with this message at 15:11 on Dec 14, 2017 |

I'm very much enjoying the elder/shaper stuff on the atlas, it's like watching white blood cells attack a virus and letting people experience some mechanic heavy boss fights in the t6 area instead of t16 really opens it's access.

Increased critical strike chance is not a very strong mod for DPS. Oskarms are still strong if you’re stacking accuracy anyway, since the other stats are quite good and free curse is awesome.

If you disagree, engage with the fundamental point instead of sliding the goalposts around.

Leveling is only slow the first time around or if you're too poor to buy the good low level uniques. And you don't have to rely on RNG to get back to 70+(where most builds you want to play end game start). Meanwhile while you're speed clearing that rift you have to hope rng smiles on you and you get the set drops you need. Also if you're really good leveling to maps takes 4-6 hours with those good uniques. Four hours the first time around but not very many people can do it so I don't consider that worth saying.

Am I missing something or has the increased xp requirements for leveling from 95-100 not really slowed down the race to 100? Have the atlas and density changes increased XPH?

So I haven't played this game for a long time.. like when Act 3 (the third run-through difficulty level) was the end of the game. Is there a somewhat brief newbie guide of some kind that I could find to get up to speed on the game if I wanted to start playing again? I'd probably start fresh, not use any of my assuredly massively outdated characters. Somewhat related, when I look at my list of characters on the website (haven't launched the game yet since I'm working) a couple of them have red asterisks next to them, and they are sort of greyed out and can't be clicked on. Does that mean they've freed up the name and someone else got it, or did they reduce the number of character slots at some point so I can't get to those ones anymore? Any idea?

Yeah, the difference between PoE then and now is basically a whole new game entirely. I wouldn't bother touching any of those old characters (the red asterisk thing is probably purging of character names, iirc there's a 1 year account inactivity limit) and just start fresh. Have you gone through the OP? Also, there's an in-game help system which doesn't entirely blow (that I wish I could have it stop popping up every league; I know what a loving map is game, I have multiple level 90 characters).

The Locator posted:So I haven't played this game for a long time.. like when Act 3 (the third run-through difficulty level) was the end of the game. I dunno about the red asterisks, but some big things that have changed: Each class has three subclasses, called Ascendancies, to pick from (aside from Scion who has one weird subclass), which for the most part have massively game-changing passives available to them. You get your subclass by doing a labyrinth, a little superdungeon where once you enter it you cannot leave it without resetting the labyrinth. Jewels can be slotted in to certain passive nodes on the passive tree (and this current league's loot gimmick is based around them!), they have random stats and can be rolled like any other item. There's a big ol' help glossary in the game now that actually serves as a really good guide to basic stuff, and will recommend you open it to certain entries at various points in the game. You can buy any skill gem from vendors now (with five unimportant exceptions, unless you're playing a miner in which case it is four). Changes to mapping since you played and the pantheon system are both explained pretty clearly in the game once you reach them. I recommend looking up a build guide. You don't have to stick to it 100%, and you can switch out your skill gems to try new poo poo super easily now that you can get them from vendors. Popular builds this league are Molten Strike (Notably works well with literally any Duelist or Marauder Ascendancy), Specter summoners, and Glacial Cascade mines.

Thanks. I did read the OP, lots of changes and stuff to try to wrap my head around. Looks like they've been really busy adding to and improving the game. I always follow guides because I can never really conceptualize how the different stuff works together to get the effects so I just blindly follow someone else's work, as long as it's fun. The problem is when they write the guide assuming you have 'x' uber rare items at certain levels, which I never have, so I try to read through the entire guide to make sure that's not the case. The OP does list some newbie guides but they are all YT video based and I'm old and would much rather have a written guide that I can refer to, so was sort of hoping something like that existed. I probably won't get a chance to play until Christmas weekend but do have some time to read stuff while I'm working from home a couple days of the week, so just trying to gather some knowledge before I jump back in. Definitely will just start a new character, and I know I purchased a few extra tabs when I was playing before to support the game, since it was awesome. I'm really a slow methodical type player, so I'm not sure the leagues interest me at all, but I'll see how that goes.
