With AHK you could either screen scrape the health/ES globe or just read memory directly for your health value and then, yeah, trigger button presses based on it which would probably get you super banned. People definitely do it though so :shrug:

Yeah from what I've seen there's even streamers who do this, or use screen-scrape auto-logout in Hardcore. At that point why would I go through more pains to set that up in AHK when I found something that works. There's bannable and there's allowed, not really anything between.

It's far from perfect, but it works well for PoE. I use the mouse for the passive tree and moving items around, but general gameplay, from leveling to mapping, works perfectly. There's some skills that are a bit more annoying to use with it, but at least it lets me play painfree. As for the Xbox, it's kinda dumb that they don't simply enable an option to use the xbox interface/controller . Sure, not everything works with it, but it'd be better than nothing.

Also, side question, is there game that plays like Diablo, but is actually a controller-based twin-stick game where you can move and attack independently? In particular when I played Bastion, my first thought was "if this was done online like Diablo / PoE I'd never stop playing it".

Both of these are bannable and if anyone is dumb enough to stream it they get banned. It happens all the time.

I've beaten all the Borderlands games actually and that is my jam, though their humor/writing is pretty cringey.

But a top-down twin-stick would own, as Bastion demonstrated. I'd love that over an FPS.

You know what else was awesome, Dungeon Fighter before Nexon folded on it and nuked all my characters, and Phantasy Star Online 2 which plays like Diablo May Cry, I had a blast with that before they decided to region-lock it.

So yeah I guess I've played Diablo in just about every cross-genre imaginable.

C'mon man, I don't wanna but I don't have much choice. If I was on a power-trip I wouldn't be casually playing SSF a month late into a league. I just want to enjoy all the new content and not rush.

Honestly, I hope no one here ever gets RSI cause it's loving terrifying. I've been playing games for hours a day since I was 3, I've been a professional game tester for years where I've actually done some 48-hour shifts, and finally it was Destiny 2 of all lovely things that triggered this a few months ago. I'm just getting old I guess and have to start respecting those health breaks I ignored Nintendo telling me about for the past 30 years.

Yes, that's fair. Their own page and forums concensus seemed to be "yeah we had this happen a few years back but nothing since" but if there's people in this thread who've gotten hosed by it then by all means call me out. For me it's a last resort. You saw me asking about it a week ago and I tried toughing it out but I had to stop and find something last night for flasks.

apparently they took out the injection a few years back but still wouldnt touch it. Why do you need the game to press your flasks for you based on hp caused from it being hard to do on your own with RSI? Can you not just setup a macro and hit one button when your hp drops below what you like?

I don't think anyone has an issue with you using it at your own peril, it was more the advertising of some rather risky business that got people hotheaded.

Sorry if this sounds like B.S. but I'm a lefty, it's my left wrist that's hosed, so I'm crossing my right hand over to use the mouse (my mouse choice is hilariously limited being a lefty, with a SO in the same room who is annoyed by Diablo-clicking, so I have the one silent-click ambidextrous mouse model in the world and it's only three buttons), and the way the game dumps surprise damage there's no way to cross my other hand over fast enough. I tried and I'm still constantly moving my keyboard around on the desk and leave my left hand fingers glued to the keys which bothers my wrist even more than using the mouse.

Maybe if I mapped all the potions to the Space Bar and got fast enough to just smash at the thing, but at some point you gotta say this is a loving stupid mechanic that is loving with my real life body mechanics.

Go check the military subforum and you'll see I'm officially a 70% gimpy disabled vet, I gotta put ergonomics a little over ethics.

I got RSI from work over a decade ago, and managing it is all about the ergonomics. A lot of forearm support, and proper seating height goes much much farther than taking a break.

I always feel like I'm "done" with a character after beating act 10. I feel like there's only ~15 more levels of skill points for me to play with, realistically, and my build is starting to feel weak anyway... What should be my motivation to do maps?

Maps are fun, and with crazy mods can be quite difficult as well. You also have the end-game boss fights of Shaper + his Guardians and the Elder + his Guardians.

I guess idk how to make my dude do that stuff. Now I'm using Arctic Breath with a Bitterdream and it was very strong for leveling but now things are slowing down and I'm not sure where to go from here. There is only so much spell damage remaining on the tree, not that I can afford to get it. How do you get end-game damage with spells?

Well, I guess this claims I still have 32 points remaining, but I doubt I have the patience to level that high.

I'm playing a summoner necromancer & I finally re-tooled my setup after completing act V. I threw warlords mark in my curse on hit-ball lightning link, but I'm gravitating towards enfeeble because I'm HC SSF and I really don't want to die. I keep shifting between those two and flammability, but with EE I'm already at 0% resist, right? Just looking for some advice.

Also, I found a poet's pen, so I'll probably want to do that on a character after this one, is it worth it to do a build with only one? They go for 30+C, but is that just because they're the new hotness, or are they pretty rare drops?

That could be like, 5 different skills at a minimum, and I'm not sure any of them really care about warlords mark. Enfeeble or temp chains for survivability (maybe in a blasphemy setup so it's always on when things are nearby), or proj weakness/flammability/vulnerability for offense depending on what exactly you're summoning.

EE and a curse can stack as far as I know too, nothing wrong there.

They should just let you bind as many flasks as you want to the same button on the in-game keybinds. A macro that pushes 12345 technically being against the rules is dumb as gently caress.
