I downloaded this to burn time one day and its really sucked me in. I have no idea what im doing, I started as a Shadow and built myself for dots and ranged damage with a bow. Does anyone else play this? Seems like it would be more fun with people

I got addicted to this a couple weeks ago and it's great fun. some tips for new players to make it more fun are installing a loot filter so you dont see all the useless drops, looking up the forums for a build guide to max out your dps so you can actually beat endgame bosses, use a third party trading website that copies a message to whisper people in game, not using any of your orbs for crafting because you should spend them trading with people through the third party site, and buying some microtransaction inventory tabs so you can sell your own items through the third party site to get more crafting orbs that you can spend on gear for your other five characters

don't do what i did, which is to not invest in whatever gives you health. i got to the first major hurdle of the game, got shredded in 2 seconds, and the response from people who play was that my character was beyond repair because i didn't spec to the right health amount.

i think a key problem with the game is that it starts out way too easy and that kind of encourages players to skip health and defenses, and then in act4-5 all the sudden everything hits like a truck

that's what happened to me. also the global chat was like 100% trump supporters calling people 'cucks' (i know that i can turn off global chat), so i realized that maybe the game wasn't for me, and quit. it's a pretty good ARPG, though. completely amazing that it's free.

lmao the general chat is the purest stream of internet sewage

its hard to miss the health passives, theyre always next to or tied to all the good stuff you want. especially for melee characters you basically cant avoid getting big health boosts.

but yeha, diablo 2 had Andariel to hammer into the player's head that you need some HP to get anywhere. you can sleep through the first 3 acts of POE and i hope they address that next season

i figured it was like most ARPGs in the way that health didn't matter if you had life leech, which i did, but the Lab boss was the first time I couldn't outpace damage with damage.

in non diablo style aids games theres nothing more epic than completely ignoring health upgrades and just pumping all your upgrades for damage and moves and surviving the late game purely by avoiding damage with your gamer skill

there is a passive, vaal pact, that makes life steal happen instantly and you'll see your HP jumping up and down rapidly and its dumb as hell lol

Leech builds kinda suck till late game iirc. But yeah everyone in this game builds health, except for people using this one passive that sets your HP to 1. They use energy shield the same way though.

Now Ive installed a third party program that lets you plan out builds and gives you DPS estimates for different passive nodes and Ive spent several hours trying to figure out the best build for a character who smacks the ground and makes lava pop out (starting skill)

It's funny that you typed "Passive nerds" since that's exactly what you'd have to be to get any enjoyment out of this rotten dump truck of a game. I hope the servers with all the game files for this crap melt down and explode.
