Word. I just killed Lord Shacklewrath first try and got a dope rear end bounty to sort through 1/15th at a time since inventory space is a tetris puzzle for some reason to make us feel smart as gently caress.

I thought Betrayal was the best possible PoE patch but Legion has proved me completely wrong. Melee feels so loving good now, and it might actually be able to compete with spells for clear speed now.

What are you playing? I started a duelist with cleave and bleed stuff but I’m getting owned in the first few levels

was betrayal the stupid web of criminals thing where guys would show up and oneshot you. that one sucked.

this league owns though. melee feels great but the skill tree also has a ton of improvements and new things to grab. im addicted, again lol

going with some preset autism build is dumb imo. pick what looks cool. the tree is really good at guiding you towards a build, like how the melee trees split off into 1h/2h/archer etc. really early on it's not rocket science

orbs that turn a regular item into a magic item: carry them around with you and use them to upgrade strongboxes before you open them

orbs that turn a regular item into a rare item: use when you find a regular item with good gems

orbs that upgrade weapons/armor: these are pretty common, use them whenever you find something sweet that you expect to keep around for a lot of levels

orbs that reroll the color of sockets or the number of sockets/links: same as above but they're more rare and you need to know what combination of colors you're looking for. probably hold onto those until you're in the 60's or so and can use them to make something that'll get you through maps.

the weirder ones like regals/exalts/chaos/scouring are only really good if you are min/maxing late-game gear for doing maps and stuff. you need a ton of them and you need to know exactly what you're looking to build. otherwise just go onto poe.trade and use them to buy gear from people.

i never bothered with crafting so no idea there

as far as normal crafting goes, you unlock recipes after rescuing Helena in act 2 or by unveiling items with Jun starting in act 9. They all cost currency to have, and your item can only have one mod crafted on unless you have the (very expensive) multiple mods allowed thing crafted on. theres various tiers of these crafted mods and they cost different amounts of currency. This is probably where your chaos orbs will go because you'll have like a decent rare that is missing a slot so you'll slap a resist or life or something on their and the better ones cost a few chaos or a divine to slap on. But mostly I just hoard anything better than alchemy orbs to trade with, or exchange for more fusings etc. Theres more complicated poo poo like fossils from delve but idk how it works

I’ve played this off and on for years and kinda get bored with it but I just got to a point for the first time where my flask modifiers and knowing when to use them matters and I’m having to use a decoy totem and stuff and it is a lot more fun than I thought

it's one of those games that has a ton of stuff going on, but it tries to ease you into it slowly, so except for the giant skill tree you're kinda like 'is that it? really?' until you get to act 5 and all the bosses that are like 10 times as complicated as the first half of the game

Unexpected Raw Anime

Yeah I basically breezed along until I hit act 5 and started getting destroyed until i figured out the right way to use defensive flask buffs for elemental poo poo. That uh one boss I can't remember (the god king or something) just owned me repeatedly

On that note I really hate the concept of that kind of boss in a Diablo game. Yeah Diablo is about thinking about the game but usually with the build. And the rest, as Synthy says, is like playing a top down Musou or whatever and I don't care about them making the game more Skilled. It's a RNG Fuckfest already man. Don't make it about that.
