The vagan benchcraft for hits cannot be evaded on weapons is surprisingly strong. It also covers you with blind, reduced accuracy maps, negative accuracy gear. Only 3ex to craft

I'm saying that because of the lovely white noise players, the Reddit echo chamber is dramatically more effective at amplifying the bad, though. When next league is inevitably a currency-heavy apology league to try and bring players back you will see higher highs than you do now, certainly, but the low end never, ever drops out. I've been playing since a few weeks before Expedition, and while every league since has been varying degrees of ok-to-bad at release and good-to-excellent after a month, Reddit has been universally doom and gloom sky is falling the whole time, even in Sentinel which, in my opinion, is probably the player crafting power high water mark during that period (and thus the best league for me personally).

That might be because every league since at least expedition has been GGG repeating the exact same mistakes that they inevitably reverse because their players mostly hate them. When you've been playing for years and it's the 4th league in a row where GGG has decided the game needs to be harder and then made it stupidly unfun (even if it's just that way for 2-3 weeks), it starts to wear thin. The game is still fun but this league was complete dogshit and the only thing that's saved the game for the past year is the atlas skill tree.

Herstory Begins Now posted:the thing that saves poe despite all the things people dislike and make mad posts about is that the game is still good and fun. it's quite a conundrum lol For me I think it boils down to the action side and the rpg side. The rpg side (passive tree, Atlas passives, rolling maps, crafting gear) have all been relatively good throughout, although crafting obviously changed a lot this patch. The action side has been a complete rubber banding poo poo show with lovely boss designs, lovely balance changes, and reverting solved fixes to their lovely balance changes. The mana changes just made the game way less fun and then they've been piling on poo poo like AN that drags out of the unfun parts of the game more and more ever since.

Yeah i mean i share the concern that ggg's direction for the game is concerningly at odds with what people seem to want to play. as it stands though, the current state is good and they do undo the stupider changes after backlash. Still they really need to get their poo poo together and even if their vision for the game is indeed good (I'm deeply skeptical at any of the slow down poe stuff, whether it's combat speed or ability to progress characters into late game), at minimum they need to playtest stuff way more and actually listen to tester feedback.

Honestly the reason why I've been posting despite quitting the league is because I don't think I've ever been this disappointed in GGG? Normally I just leave the thread when the league isn't my taste since other people are enjoying it. But the whole "lets make the AN harder again for no reason", "sorry we didn't realize what nerfing league mob loot would do and we didn't mention it before the game launch", loot goblins, them stating that melee won't get any significant changes until poe2 this time + the whole other problems I had with the direction with the game was going this year tipped me over the edge. Do apologize for the bad posting I had at times but I think its probably why so many poe communities have been so angry nonstop this league. (don't get me started on the korean one lol)

I'm sort of surprised ggg hasn't just thrown up their hands and said "ok, you whiny players win. We're going to leave poe 1 alone with regard to the really basic stuff that keeps pissing everyone off." Are they afraid that keeping og poe too "easy" and "fast" is going to limit what they can do with poe 2?

Two small changes that would make the game feel better from the loot side imo: 1) make fractured items drop identified 2) revert the loot goblins for currency only, and balance currency drops to be more frequent like they used to be Pretty sure these have been suggested in the thread but I shall reiterate them in case there is a secret GGG person here that is a big fan of me specifically

If they can't get POE to where they want POE2 to be a few leagues prior to the launch, then the launch of POE2 is going to be disastrous given the direction they keep trying to push things and the community's response to this.

I don't think it's going to work out how they want. people still bring up scourge not getting patches after like a week or w.e. i think instead of getting used to the new normal, more people are getting frustrated and burned out

I don't think it's going to work out how they want. people still bring up scourge not getting patches after like a week or w.e. I probably wasn't very good in Scourge league but I felt like the entire Scourge mechanic was released in an embarrassing state then patched to merely underwhelming. Aside from scourging maps it was extremely rare to get anything good out, and the economy was nearly as hosed as it is now due to every half-decent item going into the Krangler and coming out either bricked or (rarely) multiple Ex. I'm not, like, mad about it, but I do find it hard to swallow GGG insisting that people need to trust their 'vision' when they release Scourge and Kalandra less than a year apart.

I don't think it's going to work out how they want. people still bring up scourge not getting patches after like a week or w.e. The recent leagues feel as thought they've launched with underpowered rewards and overly punishing mechanics. This approach really pisses off the dedicated element of the player base who want to set aside a lot of time in the launch window to push hard. These days I don't care so much about the league at launch, because I don't get as much time to play, so they've usually improved things, or have a stated plan to do so, by the time I reach maps. What annoys me more is the way they seem to be stretching out the gearing process (i.e. this league, certain uniques seem a lot rarer and mid-tier crafting seems less prevalent), but that's probably compounded by the fewer hours I have to play these days. Playing into the 'hope everyone forgets' strat, if I was in GGG's position, I'd probably want two or three well received leagues leading up to POE2 (and obviously it to be a "good" one as well). I'm hoping they are getting the required pain out of the way now and we're in for smooth sailing for the next few leagues, but given the way they decided to adjust AN for this league, I suspect they're still largely figuring it out on the fly.

Having a blast with Lightning Conduit and the phys damage taken as elemental+call of the void+enfeeble style of defenses. Currently at 66% phys taken as lightning and 78% max lightning res. Still need more currency for upgrades, gonna need Malediction and get to 80% lightning res.

The buffs to certain leveling uniques got overshadowed by all the other drama surrounding 3.19. But I've actually leveled and played more builds this league than I have in an extremely long time, and I chalk that up to the buffed and new leveling uniques counteracting the dogshit act1 difficulty increases and other various nerfs. The regen on blackheart rings makes act1 way more chill, bramblejack will make Brutus punch himself to death, rigwald's crest will carry single target damage for any build, and there's a few more that I haven't used personally but look like they might have potential as well. Thrillsteel (the onslaught helmet), is just great. I use an all resistance string of servitude to compensate for losing goldrim to carry resistances. These all make the campaign less tedious in a build independent way, and all of these items are dirt cheap. Unlike hallow palm setups which cost more and also involve running a completely different skill tree than the build you want to play.

Each wolf summoned gives you a physical damage boost and it looks like you can have 10 at once. Leveling with helix and the wolves has been the fastest I've done the campaign yet. There are so many amazing leveling uniques. How about an amulet that gives you lvl 10 purity of elements so you're almost res capped and ailment immune at lvl 4? So good.

Buffs to the leveling uniques were nice but I do wish they did more with the late game uniques. Make voltaxic rift have100% conversion again. I never tried to play with that bow cause I was still getting used to the game then and I dearly want to see why people harken back to the old age of it.

The damage seems fine . Battlemage seems very very good for COC. You are just in melee range all the time and I was getting consistently nuked by ANs and door patrols in heist . I could not see anything either due to 4 skills going off every .2-.3 seconds You can take out Lightning warp and play more defensively.

I may put some time remaking it as a cyclone build but I think this really needs a shield and block and that defeats half of the Battlemage buffs or more
