Stux posted:really? you played them, properly built and geared? That looks great, I'm also having a good time with blood, at least when there are big packs to boost surge damage and generate corpses. How does it do against single targets? Are you mostly stacking attack speed and overpower damage to get to those guaranteed overpowers as quickly as possible? Your resource generation is insane compared to where mine is at the moment, I assume that's a well-rolled umbral aspect and the frost trail boots? Maybe a Black River?

Pain of Mind posted:This is similar to my build for HC, though I have the fire snake instead of teleport. Why is teleport included in so many builds, does it do something besides teleport? Teleport breaks crowd control and nightmare dungeons are where you get stunlocked to death E: also turning into a lightning bolt and zipping across the screen is fun and satisfying

Dr Kool-AIDS posted:The more I think about it, the more I seriously doubt it stays this way past 2-3 seasons. Allowing as much as they're already allowing to carry over shows that they recognize it's a pain point for players, and I have to imagine it's one they'll budge on as people get tired of repeating it. Honestly just having side quests carry over and then having players do strongholds and dungeons naturally as they level for the last bit would be huge. One of the guys on the stream today said that it's their intent to gradually scale down how much you have to repeat each season, so now they can just say they're accelerating their existing plan after receiving player feedback

Scoss posted:I don't know if they explicitly said that they were not planning on keeping the malignant heart whatever stuff past season 1 or if that was just something that people are intuiting, but I think it would be a big mistake for them to design season content without intent to retain the successful mechanics permanently. PoE's myriad problems with new player retention go far beyond how seasonal mechanics are presented and D4 need not step in the same exact potholes if they try to make content permanent as well. I'm paraphrasing but they basically said rather than every new mechanic moving from Seasonal to Eternal by default, they will instead evaluate case by case with an explicit goal being to not overcomplicate the base game

Shrimp or Shrimps posted:Thanks! I've counted the altars on my in-game map and on the static maps on Maxroll and they keep coming up to the same number so clearly I've forgotten how to count things. Would be nice if there was some kind of api to allow third party services to hook into your character info and then just pinpoint the altar you're missing, and for that matter remaining sidequests (and their spawn locations). Then you could get all your stats and stuff too and it could be built into a damage calc etc. Sounds great tbh. Get it done, Blizz. Post a screenshot of your map, I bet someone here can spot the one you're missing

Tiny Timbs posted:Can't wait to try classes other than Necro once the season comes out so I can actually understand what other people are experiencing lol My main is necro and I've had fun playing all the other classes. Druid didn't really click with me but it was still enjoyable to try out. When I went back to necro I immediately started building towards infinimist though because I really enjoyed having shorter cooldown CC breaks I'm genuinely torn on what to play first during season 1 but also trying not to waste too much energy thinking about it because there's a big balance patch coming two days before it starts

SHISHKABOB posted:The CC that you avoid like the fear and cold circles are fine, the CC where the pine rats shoot you and you get frozen for a second every time is dumb. Diablo 3 had a patch where they made certain affix combinations mutually exclusive and I can see something similar happening here eventually. No cold enchanted on enemies with attack speed greater than some threshold perhaps

If the open world is used as a big sandbox to drop new stuff into with later seasons then I think it will have been worth the effort. If everything they add is instanced content like the malignant tunnel stuff then I generally agree with your original statement

This is correct. Every character you log in with will have their altar and map progress added to your account altar and map progress (separate for softcore and hardcore). New characters created will inherit your account altar and map progress

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:If you only gear with the stuff that got a 35% nerf and don't recalibrate for the stuff that got a 25-40% buff, then you are going to only experience the negative part. The hearts are also fairly significant changes. The things that got buffed all go in the one additive bucket. The things that got nerfed are in their own multiplicative buckets. Those percentages you quote are not even close to directly comparable because of this

McCoy Pauley posted:Is that going to make progressing into higher tier NM dungeons even slower? Took me like 10 nightmare dungeons at Level 1 in WT3 before I got a sigil for a level 3 dungeon and unlocked Sigil crafting, but at least at that point I had a bunch of sigil dust, I presume from Whispers. This makes it seem like they didn't do anything to make sigil craft unlock more easily, and dust will be harder to come by. You get dust from other stuff (event chests, helltide chests, I think bosses can drop it)

McCoy Pauley posted:Ah- - thanks. I guess I wasn't really paying attention, since it seemed like it took so long at WT3 to get the ability to craft sigils, but that makes sense. Now if they would just make it that beating your first NM dungeon unlocks the ability to craft sigils. Seems deeply stupid to lock that behind a level 3 NM dungeon and then you just have to rely on a lucky drop of a level 3 sigil, instead of naturally working your way up from 1 to 3. It's an auto pickup item like all crafting mats so generally a chest goes pop and you see the text for half a second before it's gone into your materials tab

Blood Lance might be back for S1. Aspect of Hungry Blood got a buff not mentioned in the notes. From: When Blood Lance hits an enemy that is already lanced, it has a [10-20]% chance to fire a Blood Lance at a Nearby enemy To: When Blood Lance hits an enemy that is already lanced, it fires a Blood Lance at a Nearby enemy That combined with overpower indirectly benefitting from nerfs to crit and vuln could make it pretty decent maybe? I wonder if there are other aspects that got changed and were missing from the notes

Philthy posted:They'll walk this back, I think. Once the honeymoon phase is over, and people have played a bunch of classes, it's going to take more than a seasonal gimmick to keep people coming back. POE has so much content, it keeps everyone replaying for over a decade now with people all excited for each season still. The answer from the most recent stream was that each mechanic added in seasons will be evaluated case by case to decide if it should be part of the eternal realm, with the explicit goal of not making it an overwhelming mixture of stuff. Basically, don't assume that anything from seasons will make it back in to eternal but also don't assume that nothing will

Sadly, the heart that auto-casts a corpse skill doesn't cast tendrils once a second even if it's the only skill on your bar. It seems to have an internal cooldown of about 6 seconds, separate from the skill cooldown. Still really good though

great big cardboard tube posted:That's a bummer if true but anecdotally I feel like I see it much much more than every 6s. It definitely casts CE because I got the "use 30 corpses in 30 seconds" achievement the first event I did after equipping it It's definitely triggering a corpse skill every second but Tendrils specifically has an internal cooldown. I equipped the heart and walked up to a pile of corpses with only Tendrils on my bar and I could count to 6 Mississippi between each Tendrils cast. With CE on the bar too it would cast 5 or 6 explosions between each Tendrils. Still great, just don't want to disappoint people expecting one of the best CC abilities in the game to cast for free once a second.
