Every time you try to move to dodge something you just get stuck on his enormous body and just sit there locked in place attacking him. Game doesn't have a force to move key if you want to retain ability to have left click attack. In D3, I use middle click to do a force move and left click to attack/move. Not possible here.

The Little Kielbasa posted:I dig the crafting system but think I may just be too bad to play this game. Is there a build that kills bosses with turrets (a la hydras in the Diablo games) or other things that don't require me to target the boss? I might be able to survive all the "move or die" mechanics if I could spend all of my focus on just staying alive. But when my cursor has to be on the boss to cast spells at it, there's a 0% chance of me being able to also move my charterer out of death zones reliably enough to win. If you want something non-necro, you can always give totem shaman a go. Take thorn totem, storm crows, and thunder totem as your core and fill out from there. Drop all three into their respective cold damage and stack the +cold traits out of your passives. Take the crow teleport for movement, and then it's mostly just dropping totems and scooting away. All three abilities are bound to minion spell damage so just run wild with that.

Saxophone posted:Ya know I thought about this a bit and in any other genre ‘don’t stand in the fire’ is largely ok, but in a game that is requiring you to point and click moving in and out of fire just feels worse. Using wasd or twin stick it’s easy to navigate and run, whereas with point and click I feel like I’m way more prone to my character faffing off in the wrong direction or getting pasted because my angle was wrong and it still clipped me, etc. this is why i keep yelling at people that they need to add wasd movement to arpgs so you can aim with mouse and move with keyboard/stick/whatever, but no, diablo scheme from 30 years ago is the only correct option!!!!11

While I'm thinking about it, had anyone gone with a full physical damage necro (so like marrow shards, blood rip, bone curse) and had success? I got a few uniques that are statted around physical spells and I wanted to do something other than another primalist.

What if I want my left click to be my most used attack and my right click to be my second most used attack? For example in Diablo, my left click is meteor and my right click is teleport. And I don't press any of the other buttons. Occasionally I middle click to force move but I by far use left and right click the most. Are you guys actually mashing 1 on your keyboard to attack stuff and using left click only to move? That actually boggles my mind. bamhand fucked around with this message at 21:48 on May 5, 2023 |

Well you can't put an ability into the move slot, so you're losing nothing except the weak default attack. With a little keybinding you can put move on whatever you want.

Uh you can have left click map to any of your skills on top of move. I had puncture/move on left click and detonating arrow on right click for my marksmen. That's like the ideal use case for my setup where both skills are used about equally. bamhand fucked around with this message at 22:24 on May 5, 2023 |

What is a single bad thing about it? The only time it is bad is when the game does not have a force to move button. But that is very easily solvable by adding one in.

I am complaining because the game implemented it incorrectly. Like I said it's a solved problem that the game decides not to do. Left click to move/attack and a separate button to force move is not some weird ask. A correct implementation would be allowing the player to have one button be attack move and one button to be force move. bamhand fucked around with this message at 22:33 on May 5, 2023 |

I got a few uniques that are statted around physical spells and I wanted to do something other than another primalist. I took a real hard look at it on my lich but ended up not going that way just due to a lack of other skill synergies with physical damage. There's a really good combo with transplant, bone curse, and rip blood that you can use, but I had a tough time deciding what other skills to use there, and ended up settling on like a necrotic dot build. Edit: You could maybe do some cool stuff with sacrifice there. Bone curse or passives can get you skelly vanguards and transplant has a passive that summons guys, and since sacrifice is physical you could use that as like a burst effect with the crazy chain explosions. You could also spec into volatile zombies with the sacrifice node, as volatile zombies has the cool health or ward recovery on death thing that's a pretty good survivability thing. I think the biggest difficulty might be mana management there, but I'm sure there's a way to make it work. bobtheconqueror fucked around with this message at 22:40 on May 5, 2023 |

There is a marrow shard lich build on maxroll. It's not a Necro though. Their Necro build spams bone nova on a golem. Is that a physical skill?

Any lich build will make it across the finish line just from reaper form and death seal being super strong. Physical is also one of the main damage types for acolyte so you have a lot of options. Marrow shards (with bone spinter nodes), rip blood (with blood splatters), transplant, and sacrifice all work well as crit builds. You'd want to focus on just one ability though and support it with transplant and bone curse probably. Bone curse on its own is bugged/exploitable right now due to the cursed limbs node procing the one hit falloff, guaranteed crit node with no cooldown. Ignoring the bug, it's still good with the infinite duration and cursed limbs nodes. Harvest can be converted to physical but it's just ok. Soul feast can also be converted but no clue if you could get it to do anything besides stack armor with the poison consume nodes, which is what it's usually used for. Transplant is probably the best option for applying bleed.

I play with a controller so I didn't take the node that lets you pick how far the marrow shards goes and instead decreased its range further.

No, right now there's still 9 out of 12 chapters available. There is a content update coming on May 25 which might add more but the teaser trailer looks more like a new dungeon of some kind. My necrotic lich hit 100 last week and I haven't really played much since, but I gave my fire nova sorc another try and got into monoliths really easy with all the various ignite/dot uniques and set rings. I don't think it will continue scaling well enough for empowered monoliths but there's enough other good sorc builds that switching to something else shouldn't be a problem. Casting 3x fire novas every time I teleport is really nice, and each nova hit does like 7-9 ignite stacks. Currently using volcanic orb for bosses since it multihits so fast and stacks a shitload of ignites per cast but the cooldown and mana cost can be annoying if I try to use it against rares or high hp trash while clearing. Mana in general feels kinda annoying for a lot of builds in this game while others get to completely ignore it, or intentionally run out of mana for crazy damage multipliers, etc.

The pre-patch teaser today was for a new item rarity that is basically a unique that gains additional affixes as you get experience while they are equipped. There is still quite a bit of RNG with them but if they aren't stupidly rare and don't take a crazy amount of experience to level the affixes I could see them being pretty cool.

poe is a big game, last epoch averages like 1000 players so far, outside the big patch peaks it's not like you lose a lot of time, the 2-3 loading screens between login screen and you murdering maps aren't *that* long e: also, you need to have poe running in the background for a week to sell good niche items for fair amounts of money so

Picked this up a while ago and wasn't impressed, tried to give it another shot recently and haven't been able to put it down. A large part of that is probably because I'm doing a Warpath Sentinel instead of a Beam Wizard. I recently got my hands on a pretty nice Volcanus with 57% Increased Fire Damage. However, I also happen to have an Exalted axe that managed to roll a whopping 237% Increased Fire Damage. I’ve read about making Legendary Items by throwing stuff in the Time Fridge and, by my guess, if I tried to mix these two items together, there are three possible outcomes:
Nice drops have been pretty hard to come by, so I’m pretty anxious about potentially blowing up my few valuable rolls for no benefit. Does anyone happen to know how something like this would shake out so I don’t have to gamble and find out on my own?

Well you won't be able to combine the exalted axe with Volcanus because Volcanus is a sword. But when you make a legendary item it just adds in the new affixes as extra lines on the item. It doesn't interact with existing affixes at all.

Your unique also needs to have Legendary Potential to combine it with an exalted item. The number of LP is how many affixes from the exalted will be added to the unique. But there’s no restrictions on the affixes being added (ie you can stack two affixes of the same kind this way if the unique has one and the exalted one gets chosen when you combine them).

A large part of that is probably because I'm doing a Warpath Sentinel instead of a Beam Wizard. Yeah so expanding on what above poster said, Legendary items work like this: Put a Unique with legendary potential and an exalted item with 4 unsealed affixes of the same type (i.e. body armor -> body armor, axe -> axe. Look at the grey text under the name of the item) in the masher at the end of Temporal Sanctum. The maximum level of the Unique you can put in is based on the difficulty of the sanctum. The Exalted item will be destroyed, and X of its unsealed affixes will appear as new affixes on the now Legendary item, where X was the legendary potential of the Unique. So if you have an LP1 Unique, you'll get (randomly) one of the affixes on the Exalted item, the other 3 are gone forever. Skyl3lazer fucked around with this message at 14:56 on May 26, 2023 |
