The reddit/react streamer meltdown will be hella content at least. As well as the tongue-in-cheek apology/rebalance messaging from ggg.

I'm pretty sure I'm going to try Occultist Forbidden Rite with Fourth Vow & stuff this league, not a clue what I'd level with until I get to the point I can actually use forbidden rite, though.

also hot take if a boss or a mob or really anything is designed to oneshot you no matter what defences etc, has pinpoint precision, aim and lightspeed then its not hard, its overtuned overcoming a overtuned thing isnt a virtue and im not talking maven time blast oneshot, which is mechanically avoidable

nuclear throne has two buttons and they put them on the back buttons, just like gungeon for the most part. presumably thats what they mean bcos currently on pad poe works fine as you have four face buttons and then r2 or l2 as modifiers to give you another 8, flasks on shoulders and dpad. that doesnt lend itself to movement and aiming on controller without restricting yourself to mostly four buttons

I love Bloodborne but I don't want to play the whole game every three months and that has like half as many bosses as PoE2. I agree with Stux on the perspective thing, isometric view is just never going to allow these boss fights to feel close to the spectacle of a souls game and that's a big part of the appeal Jonathan said something in the Zizaran interview when talking about bosses that I just 100% disagreed with. He said there's no reason a low level boss should be any less complex than an endgame boss. Even putting aside the apparently alien idea that games should get more challenging as they progress, PoE2 still has skill gems and socket numbers gated behind character levels so why would I want to do an endgame boss fight while I'm still bouncing 2 link magma orbs through a firewall

I was sort of excited to make the demigods I have into mtx. They were just going to stay in the tabs forever. Then I actually looked at the art and its all basically garbage. The sword looks kinda cool I guess. Do we know if they keep the increased character size?

Tarnop posted:I love Bloodborne but I don't want to play the whole game every three months and that has like half as many bosses as PoE2. Median xl does something like this that works well where you get basically permanent powerups for each boss that you kill in it and it's a cool system of progression that incentivizes you to do everything more than just grinding out the raw xp for levels. I believe they've said they intend for something somewhat similar (albeit probably less impactful than the charms median gives out? because those end up being a major part of your character power) for killing various bosses. That said, one of the fairly common responses to poe 2 has been 'do they actually expect people to play this for a bunch of hours a day?' and yeah you have to wonder about that. idk, i'm extremely glad that they stopped trying to turn poe into their vision for poe 2 because while I'm extremely willing to try some poo poo they cook up, poe 1 is about as close to what I want from an arpg as has probably ever happened or will ever happen. the one thing i agree with stux on in particular here is that arpgs are just fun as hell as meta progression journeys and for some reason arpg devs keep getting ideas that they need to make something deliberately high brow or, like, wildly different from what people already love. I'm happy that the impulse turned out a new game that looks interesting, but I'm relieved that they appear to have accepted the current state of poe as a compelling thing in its own right that doesn't need to be transformed into some hardcore arpg soulslike because other than some devs and the like 25 people playing ruthless, literally no one wanted that.

I've never beaten Uber Elder but that's usually because I get distracted by something shiny long before I assemble all the fragments and such necessary to do so. (Back in the olden days I got to him once but couldn't manage the fight with the build I had.) I don't really like PoE's pinnacle boss fights/obstacle courses that a boss happens to be coincidentally present for much though, so I just don't do them. There's plenty of other endgame poo poo to do.

External Organs posted:My league starter is league starter paralysis Yeah I'm stumped. I wanted to run some sort of deadeye build with good single point damage but apparently that doesn't exist anymore. Now I have no idea and I'm running out of time to pick something. I may end up just sitting this league out again if I can't figure something out. Completely open to suggestions.

I am going with Rue's Inquis COC DD:https://pobb.in/IoGKBegkp0vA With T17 maps being a thing, the league mechanic adding difficulty to your maps, and the relative poverty level we will be experiencing compared to last league, playing something tanky that can work on a minimal gear seems important. I don't have anywhere near the level of decision paralysis I have going into most leagues.

I really feel like the only zone they like in PoE1 is The Coast and Mud Flats, where you get bodied because your character is literally nothing yet. It's like they hate that progression in a numbers game lets you eventually get big enough numbers to feel that progression.

Indeed, the coc dd inq build seems to be the best bet right now. Once the league mechanic gets revealed that may change. Archmage looks good too but mana stacking gear will be $$, especially if you’re not a full time poe player. We still havent seen the transfigured ele hit gem numbers.

What builds are all the Witch players here going with? Ignite WoC or Poison SHR. Want to see the Transfigured SHR gem. External Organs posted:I keep wondering about necro holy relic chaos but I can't figure out what attack skill to use to proc it. Maybe a 4 link dom blow? Cyclone or Static Strike. The former gives you the most mobility, but you have to fiddle with attack speed/cooldown synchronization (SHR has a cooldown of 300ms, which gets rounded up to 333ms because of server tick rounding, so you want your attack speed to be at or just slightly under some multiple of 3/s). The latter you do have to stop to swing once in a while, but you let the beams do the proc'ing ("...you'll frequently hit a number of nearby enemies with beams, dealing attack damage"). Level 18/19 = beam cooldown of 330ms. You can probably guess which skill I used when did SHR ages ago (when it was even more complicated because alt quality SHR and that version of the hat messed with the SHR's cooldown).

Gem socket pressure is heavy currently. This gives an option other than unsets if you need the chaos res or unique ring more than (usually) the abyssal socket if you’re using a rare belt. MB and HH are super busted but the ammy slot is generally more important at lower levels of investment - even more with the buffed Yoke.

mrrrrgggghhhh need a build considering psrs necro though getting your early pieces is pain and just doing regular srs is what actually took the hit from the nerf, I guess popcorn is an option, still feels like much more of a second build than a starter to me also some flavor of ignite ele but woc is definitely the best choice and I tried that once and hated how it felt, I suppose I could always do tried and tested eab but I'm not in the mood for it atm, why can't ignite arc be good ggg
