Ugh, removing the jewel vendor is very very slightly annoying. It'll still be pretty easy to get all the jewels most likely, so I can still do my frostbolt totems, but it would have been nice to not be reliant on trading for it.

I'm also mad because I'm going to miss approximately 75% of the first five days :argh:

Its just a quest now, unless you need multiple of them per character it shouldn't matter.

Man get ready for Beyond Thunderdome w/r/t guild invites.

If you don't play for 2-3 days at some point in the first two weeks of the league, expect that you wont be in when you come back

This map boss life rebalance thing is super discouraging and kinda makes me not want to map anymore. If I'm one-shotting nearly every pack in the map, the boss shouldn't brick wall me like that. I don't know what they were thinking with this change. I'm wiping on loving t3s.

The boss life increase on t3s is about 5%. It isn't what's making you unable to kill the boss.


E; im off a bit on this depending on which boss. Apparently some got brought up more than others. Winged Death went from 150k to 500k life, but that's a 1 second fight to a 5 second fight. T16 bosses have 12.6 million hp for example, and the fights usually last less than a minute.

I've had the same ARPG keybinds for 5+ years, like hell am I gonna redo muscle memory just for POE.

Right Click = Primary Skill
A = secondary skill
D = movement skill
S/F = buffs
Shift = hold still

I can't figure out why games have defaulted to something other than left hand on ASDF. Like, do people not use the home row for keyboard anymore?

This past league i rebound my last skill slot to spacebar, so i don't have to move my hands from asdf. I only use it for stuff like vaal buffs or golems anyways.

Edit: relevant to this discussion

I feel the trick is to not obsess over capturing everything and just snag whatever rares/uniques cross your path.

The trick is to ignore the league mechanic entirely until maps.

The first couple acts I was totally dogshit at them. Around A5/A6 was when I could actually full clear them.

For me, incursions were cool at low level (acts 1-3ish) then I skipped them until I hit maps. It's not really tuned for leveling, which is fine since that's the shortest part of the game.

Can someone look at my lovely Juggernaut and tell me what the hell I'm doing wrong? I was under the assumption that going Juggernaut/ Sunder was an easy way to uber lab farm at the beginning of the league. I'm getting one shot by Izaro with Fortify up. I feel like I've basically wasted this weekend on this character instead of going some FotM Arc, or Blade Vortex, etc.

So if you've never done uber lab farm theres some poo poo to know re: izaro. You have to realize that early on you probably wont be able to facetank. Learn his moves and what you have to dodge or not, and if you can run X keys, etc.

It feels to me like melee builds dont get enough of a payoff for having to be in melee range tanking hits. My melee builds are all about "Well I'm going to be in melee range with these bosses/rares tanking big hits, which 4-5 layers of defenses can I stack to just about survive it", my ranged builds are "Eh, I will kill everything while it is on the other side of the screen, if it ever makes it over to me I will run to the other side of the screen with my +100% movement speed".

All melee really gets is fortify, which also requires you to proc it, and 20% less damage doesn't feel like it makes up for getting chunked by bosses every second because you are standing next to them.

Surprisingly a lot of the time it's easier to dodge poo poo in melee.

I guess an infinite dungeon is a way to shift speed meta to tank meta, if the rewards are good enough that killing deeper delve levels outweighs quickly clearing earlier levels.

Assuming the fuel amount on your drill isn't time based



Also I don't think there's legacy gear in these reliquaries, just old league uniques.

Fairly new to PoE in it's current state. I bought(?) the game like 40 years ago when it was alpha or something and didn't care for it much at the time and forgot about it until like a week ago and now it looks like it's Diablo 2 on steroids, which seems really cool.

I'm working to make a Templar Spark Inquisitor build and one thing I am unsure of with builds is how expensive they are. I see cheap and expensive equipment stats. Don't people just farm items? I don't mind trading for certain things, but if you're expected to trade for 99% of your gear that's a huge turn off.

You can beat the hardest content in Solo Self Found, but just like D2 you're gonna have to trade for rare build defining uniques if you choose to do those builds.

Well every league I'm like "dang this league looks good I wonder if I'll buy supporter packs" then I end up getting both anyway (except for beastiary which was awful) but HOLY poo poo the packs this time look rad.
