I'm loving the acolyte skills that fill the place with little blue ghosties. I was gonna go skeletons but nah, think I'll go ghosties.

Are the special blue items from killing wizards only good as crafting bases? I can't seem to be able to extract the experimental affixes.

You can seal the affixes with a special rune and they can also be used for legendary stuff.

The only good items I can seemingly find are for minion builds, I should really listen to the game and play a falconer already

I removed direct attacks from my bar because they were just redundant, the minions kill everything too quickly.

Acid Flask Friends: What type of weapon are you using? I've currently got it converted to Fire for synergy with Explosive Trap, found a nice Exalted Mace with +132% Fire on it. Ideally would be +Fire & +Elemental Damage but oh well. Still fishing for my Vial of Volatile Ice  Don't know if I just want to swap over to a Cold mace or find some +Crit Chance dagger

Why all the weird stuff with resists and enemy penetration? Couldn't they just set a cap at 50 and make the rolls you can get a bit lower? Basically the same effect without all the obfuscation of secretly using a -75%-0% scale.

The UI says that Ghostflame deals 5k dps, but it definitely did not, to my great disappointment (for comparison, my other skills do about 500). Chaos Bolts doesn't have a DPS calculation at all, weirdly enough. I went into my Acolyte intending to be a plague lich of some sort, but now I wish I had just made a Warlock since I'm maining Chaos Bolts. I guess Reaper form is a solid second life/traversal skill.

DPS calculations seem arbitrary, but I think the reason Chaos Bolts doesn't have one is because it's not sure how many bolts will hit. I kinda wish you could at least have it show you damage per hit though.

I love how all the skills can be set up to dump a shitload of diseases and curses on enemies and then realize benefits based on the number of debuffs. I use the teleport traversal to explode the screen.

I'm sure this is a rough weekend for all 10 of their employees or whatever I think they're at like 90 now. They really ballooned up the past year or something. And yeah, my goodwill is running out too. It's day 5, and today's the worst it's been. The rest of the time I've been able to get in and play at least some, and honestly the past 2 days haven't been that bad at all. But today? I can't even get in-game. Not to mention, it's been 3 hours without any update on WTF is going on either, which is disappointing. Judd explicitly said that his goal was to keep everyone with updates every 30 minutes or so when there was downtime. So yeah man. Goodwill is running out. I'm worried the problem is something a lot more serious than "more servers" or "oh currently overloaded". Like some core implementation just can't keep up without someone manually restarting a server every 10 minutes, lol.

Hope the devs hang on, this must be incredibly stressful. Saying that, this does feel like the worst launch I've experienced in the last decade. But maybe I've been really lucky.

Basically the same effect without all the obfuscation of secretly using a -75%-0% scale. If you cap it at 50, then you have the PoE problem where resist capping is more important than it seems. If you’re 5% under, you’re actually taking 10% more damage than designed for. The point of the -75-0 scale is that every % you’re short of the cap is only 1% more damage than they designed for.

CEO had to prohibit staff from checking discord when errors happen to protect them from all the toxicity They have ~150k ppl on their discord server, 260k in game peak, #3 top seller on steam too btw 74% positive reviews so far, so it'll buff out i hope.

Yeah a lot of the design of LE is a specific response to the shortcomings of the way PoE does things

I've managed to play online every day since launch. Sometimes the loading is awful, sometimes the matchmaking servers go down completely, but overall it's been like 70-80% playable for me. And once I got to monoliths it's been smooth sailing. Moral of the story: use the forbidden monolith tech for the rest of the game.

I admit I haven't got any of the stuff for Volatile Ice flasks but so far 55 levels, I'm still using Cinder Strike with a Hell's Reach, while the falcon drops fire converted flasks. Also I have been buffing caltrops, and getting caltrops off nets, off dodge, and off aerial assault. These caltrops seem to be doing a nice number.

How do you get your dodge high enough to rely on it anyway? The most I've gotten is like 30% with all the dodge passives, which didn't seem reliable enough to be relevant and it only got worse in higher level areas, so I switched them all out. Like, dodge is already fundamentally unreliable in a game like this, but LOW dodge is just completely worthless. Do I need to be stacking dodge on all my gear to get any value out of it at all?

Clarste posted:I haven't done that build in particular, but as someone with a different Dive Bomb build I've found that the interaction with Falcon Strike is a little annoying. Specifically, the Falcon Strike animation takes a long time, and if you interrupt it with Dive Bomb (which you will, because the cooldown is so short) then you lose a lot of damage from Falcon Strike. To solve this I picked up the line attack version of Falcon Strike which only does one hit. I think the line attack is weaker overall—hard to tell, since they don't want to show you any numbers for falcon attacks—but it's quick so they don't step on each other's toes as much. I've been messing with the Birds Are Not Real node and associated nodes for Divebomb and I think they work well. I have no idea if it's a bug or not, but the smoke bomb cloud extension node seems to count every single shadow falcon as well, plus their redives. It also seems to let you keep applying the extension to the same cloud repeatedly. What this all amounts to is permanent uptime smoke clouds that cause your divebombs to hit like 6 times per cast to things inside it.

I haven't been messing around with shadows as a Falconer since I already did a Bladedancer in early access, but I guess that makes sense.
