Diablo 3 has force to move as well. I bound it to my space bar and do the same thing in this game.

Tip for the incursion race, Zerphis flask is 2 chaos because of the perandus mods, in incursion normal its 8 exalted orbs. This is why: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFktkwJjdks You are basically invulnerable with it (unless you are standing in 2 uber elder beams while being hit by uber elder ice shots), you can skip a tonne of life nodes, life regen/life leech on the tree, and you can go full glass cannon, but actually you are healing 20k life per second so its not really glass cannon at all. The interaction that makes this work is with blood magic support, it turns zerphi's into "Whenever you spend life to use a skill, gain 600% of the life spent over 4 seconds", you can scale it further with flask effect and life recovery.

drat that's a good tip, just bought one for 3 fusing. Does Lavianga's cancel this out because it makes things cost no mana? Or is it based on the listed mana cost?

For now I'll just use it as my life flask while leveling, since I'm always mana-starved and also spamming skills.

Some skills are hard to boil down to one number since the mechanic is hard to calculate, like how many balls impact on your target with MS. You can ballpark it by taking the magma ball number and multiplying by a back of the envelope number and APS but pob won't do it for you. In your case it's 2250.7 x number of balls that hit

It's hard to compare different skills to each other, so what I typically do is compare same to same. I recommend you download a level 90+ character from poe.ninja/builds or from a guide somewhere and compare. If they are doing 50k per ball, and you are doing 2k per ball, thats the difference you should be paying attention to. The only "external" number that typically gets thrown around is 500k shaper dps, but some skills are too hard to calculate for that. ROA is in a similar situation.

What would you guys say this is worth? Sometimes I find it really easy to price stuff but I have no idea how to go about pricing this. First elder item that's dropped for me. https://imgur.com/umQ1AD9

Ok, thanks. Normally I look on poe trade and find something thats close to what I have and can price it but I coulnd't find anything like this so I thought it might have been pretty rare. Figuring out what items are good is probably the hardest thing for me in this game right now. Does this just come with experience I suppose?

Pretty much. Taking your item as an example: Base - Nowhere near the best base for 1H swords Multistrike - Pretty much worthless since it's on a 1H, so 3 sockets max supporting it. Not something you're going to put your main skill on. 3S is perfectly fine for a movement skill, but Multistrike fucks up the attack based ones, so still bad. Added Ele - There are 9 tiers of elemental damage rolls on 1H swords. You got the worst (cold) and 2nd worst (light). Aspd - The only explicit mod here that's worth a drat, and even then this is only a T4 roll. Crit Multi - Again, lowest tier In-game, there's the Advanced Mod Descriptions options (under UI). When mousing over an item, holding down the Highlight key (believe that's Alt by default) explains some mods and also shows what tier of rolls and the range in that tier the item has. That's a good first level pass for whether or not an item is vendor trash or not.

Badly rolled elder/shaper items can still be worth something if the base item is good and it has a high ilvl. I'm guessing that one is ilvl 75 at best.

Playing a CI build in flashback and man it feels nice not having to give a gently caress about ancient constructs in incursions.

There's some cool items I plan on buying for my standard league char but they're like 5 ex each. On Incursion league, they're 1 to 2 chaos.... If I buy em now, they'll be added to my standard league char later, it's genius!

It helps but phase acro really helps. It isn’t usually picked up but it really is nice this league. CI helps even more. It’s fairly easy to get positive chaos resist to eleminate bonus damage, it doesn’t need maxing out. Aztiris promise flask gives a nice chaos resist hit.

I tried the game once or twice but didn't like the viewing angle, and the slow pace. But my old best friend I haven't seen in 10 years just came home and we were talking about D2 and how bad 3 was and he was telling me how he has been playing this and all about it, and the cards and maps and poo poo. Just reading the OP. I think he was wise in telling me not to play it unless I want to burn a lot of time, of which I have precious little of right now.

This game is fine to fire up a couple hours of the week. 10 acts for a new player with little time will give you plenty of content. If you start mapping, then even more content is given to you.

The game starts very slow, yeah, but the pace picks up a lot at the end. Your movement, skills and castings get a lot faster as you progress.

Maybe he means the fov? I don't know what it was in D2, but playing this without ultra widescreen resolutions feels incredibly claustrophobic.

I have a question for people that play Blade Vortex. When I watch the video guides, which are obviously at high level, I never see them stopping to recast, but the number of stacks stays steady'ish and even goes up at times, but when I'm trying to use it, I have to stand still every time I add a stack, and then they almost immediately start dropping. How are the stacks maintained and cast without stopping like these dudes in the videos? Currently I kind of hate it because of how it plays nothing like the videos I watched on it.
