1st for anime
I-I'm bored... I don't know what to do.
I'm in standard talisman league but from what I hear end-game content is just making money and gearing yourself but I'm poor at level 72 ;_;
Really sucks that you can't really respec without dumping tons of stuff, getting tired of my 1-trick pony.
>>126702056
Anime wins.
Thread is over.
If your build actually works, how come it doesn't work in HC?
If your build actually works, how come you keep dying all the time?
>>126702281
If your build actually works, how come you log out everytime your life drops below 30%?
If your build actually works, how come you skip all hard content?
I completed the mission, but you're still a cunt, Zana. How am I going to pick up that 20 trove Primordial Staff pack now?
>>126702420
Are you implying that dying is better than not dying?
>>126702484
If your build is so good you should be able to live through without a logout macro.
>>126702546
Whereas you just die.
>>126702546
wtf
if your build is good a logout macro shouldnt be an option
>>126702281
>>126702420
Neither has to do with builds, both of it has to do with play style and getting good.
If softcucks manage atziri runs in the 60s hc poops can manage it as well, its about how well you play. Layering more defences only broadens the margin of error you can make. IF you play well and don't fuck up and yolo things, you are fine with 160% hp.
As we have seen not even 10k+ ES with max lightning resist will save you from shitty situations you get yourself into.
Thanks for the demonstration and rip in peace h4ns.
>>126702604
And why exactly is this bad?

are you fucking retarded?
what do you guys think of my build.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zv4naYCZ2NU
>>126702717
It revolves around killing monsters, making your character stronger and then taking on harder content. Meanwhile hardcucks are so afraid of dying they grind dried lake to 80 and then play 75 maps with aura/curse whores.

There's no strategy, you just have to be an autist that doesn't sleep for several days. There's nearly no skill involved in PoE and only a retard would argue otherwise.

I've played all content in the game on HC my highest is a level 90 because I don't play much.
You?
>>126702997
Ofc there is strategy to hitting lvl 100 in PoE.
Being an autist who does not sleep is just part of the strategy. Not dying, being able to sustain maps, and having a build that clears fast enough are others. Playing in the right group with the right people who have the right builds, and even having a support cast are as well parts of the strategy.
>>126703253

>>126703575
Yeah I saw that build and it looks dope as fuck but I don't have the funds to buy a bino's unfortunately.
>>126703707
Lvl all the way to 70, and sell every single rare and pick up all currency. By the time you hit 70 if you sell literally all your currency for chaos orbs, you might have enough to buy the binos. Also use the chaos recipe.
The 1-2 ex items are somewhat affordable while still being expensive. But then again that build can level rather well with bladefall trap for aoe before you get binos, or so i heard.
>>126703893
>can level rather well with bladefall trap for aoe
It is quite amazing. You've heard well.

Oh i have never seen the finished product. Only seen it with 4 T1 mods.
>>126704867
>>126704895
Ah yea, tought so.
Is there any item when crafted perfectly could stand up to what this one is worth? Its literally one of a kind, and probably completely impossible to get another base of this kind.
>>126704712
No, i do not use posion. It is just a pure physical damage trap with big AoE. One can use poison on it, but preferably you would want to slap some elemental damage, like from Hatred, in order to leave shit shattered (if you are crit). Or just use physical+poison with DoT.
The beauty of Bladefall is that it works either way. Very efficiently too.
>>126704591
It will, should there be a way to have private servers.
Heh. PoE without any of that GGG idiocy.
>>126704978
You can use poison with hatred, hatred is an addition not a conversion.
What the fuck just happened?
>>126705073
I know. I dont have a 5L gear that i need to make a very good Bladefall trap. I actualy use Lightning Trap in combo with it.
But yeah, slap some poison on it, along with added fire damage gem and hatred... Some OP shit right there.

jesus christ, how do you clear so slow with a legacy kaoms.
>>126705256
Neat, the fireball only hit you for 6k hp, and you were even really close, so their far shot should not have come in effect.
That is some legit nice balancing from GGG.
>>126705503
My shitty budget tapper could do it even faster. TSC here.
Btw, i just made it kinda work actualy. Slapped Thunderfist gloves on, shoved in there Lightning Trap+Multitrap+Trap DMG+Lightning Pen... works like a charm. I think that can be usefull for amy build using lightning attacks too - shrapnel shot, LA, SA with phys to lightning...
Still cannot believe that GGG did not make 3d mesh for Thunderfist or Atziri's Step. Fucking hacks and lazy bastards.
>>126705702
Huh are you saying he has legacy kaoms on that arcer? He is in talisman league tough, you can see it when he opens the map info.
>>126705737

shit man, only?
that would have gaped my character's bootyhole dude.
>>126705838

armor and evasion wouldnt have saved him.
the only thing useful against large hits is a very high eHP pool.
>>126705805
meanwhile 3 new sets next patch :D
>>126705838
It was sarcasm. At that damage point not much can save you except having a ridiculous hp pool. And that was 1 hit from 1 monster on the screen, any other monster hitting him would kill him.
Oh and lets not forget what would happen if that devo would spawn with an dmg aura.
>>126705887
I know, they are trying to squeze as much dosh as possible. Cannot blame them, they do need money. That does not mean they should neglect everything else.
I do recall that patch when they finaly introduced 3d for Ice Tomb armor - it was very nice and very very good looking. Makes it a desirable unique for skin transfer.
>>126706023
My unlinked infernal blow does as much damage.
>>126706023

what's the point of deeps if there's no fucking standard besides a tooltip - which can be horribly innaccurate if you take into penetration, crits and some skills being bugged or operating differently for the tooltip to know like charge up times.

>>126707013
He's playing a generic racer with pleb of hands and kaons hearts as stat sticks. There's nothing intricate or innovative about them. They're not even that strong in terms of clear speed , it's just designed to play the game as though you never left twilight strand in normal. It's boring
Is THC still alive? I thought about playing some more, but ill pass if its already dead or dying.
I think for once im more excited about a D3 season than a new PoE league.

>>126707126
>playing efficiently is bad mkay
You can see from his webm that if he would not use kaoms as a "stat stick" he would be dead. Sadly GGG designed their game in such a way that if you want to run the highest level content you need to rely on such items, or some other broken interactions.
>>126707642
That he uses is fun and original, what everyone else uses is lame and uses items you should not use. I bet he would have sperged out if he would have seen any of the good ways of mitigating damage (LC, that cold pot, those ele or phys dmg talismans).
This game isn't fun in hardcore. There's no real ways to mitigate damage in any significant sustainable way. No matter what you do, you can almost always be 1 shot. It's not good. It's not fun. It's a waste of time and effort.
how do we fix poe?!
>>126708140
Remove hardcore is a good approach, add more factors to death that would discourage someone from dying
>>126708280
Followed by completely retuning every enemy and damage source in the game, removing any potential to be onehit unless you have absolutely no mitigation or mediocre ehp.
Remove Whirling Blades.
Put multistrike back onto Leap Slam.
Add a dozen more cold spells.
Remove Cast on Crit.
>>126708140
Delete maps and reintroduce Maelstrom of Chaos
Delete Cruel
Add rewards to A4

>>126708140
poe is fine
>>126708140
Start by explaining devs that its not okay for a small aoe skill to deal as much damage as a huge aoe skill.
Return mapping to 1.2-1.3. Return block nodes on tree to make melee viable again. 1.3 gutted melee to being unplayable. Fortify does not help at all mainly because it adds no damage at all.
How do you find Zana the first time? Is she only in maps?
>>126708905
>he fell for the downside meme
>>126708905
Fortify actually adds a nice chunk of damage, at lvl 20 its 44% phys melee dmg. Considering it not only increases melee dmg by 44% it also reduces incoming dmg by 20% its pretty damn amazing. The problem is the phys part.
If they made fortify wording just melee dmg, then it would be amazing. That is pretty much my only gripe with fortify.
>Ripped to Atziri
I have 0 currency now, give me a build even a retard couldn't fuck up
Would you run Faster Attacks over Multistrike for Lightning Strike with Chain?
I feel like the damage loss of Multi+Chain is too much.
>>126708140
Simple stuff:
Incentivise running few dangerous maps over lots of shitty maps.
Nerf the scion life wheel and redistribute that life through the other life wheels in the tree.
Leagues that people can't opt out of and then whine about.
Some kind of fuzzy targeting for melee skills that need you to click on mobs.
>>126708140
- Remove Cruel/Merc, instead introduce much larger/expansive areas that would actualy mean something lore-wise and game-wise. Plenty of minor bosses with good drop-sets and one-time-one-per-character unique item drop/allocation that makes it desirable to explore the entirety of the area.
TL;DR - make area exploration ver very desirable
- Severely decrease item droprate (99% of items are garbage - gloves/armor/weapons). As a compensation for it, increase droprate of currency in order to stimulate crafting
- Improve craftting by making it possible to have affixes as good as from items that are given as rewards/drops
- More, many many more map areas and a guaranteed map atleast one map drop of same or higher level map.
- A lot more unique maps. Some, if not most can be crafted.
- A lot unique items are craftable, but require base item of specific ilevel, currency, trinket and gems
- Sarn actualy has a normal droprate of items (its a city afterall).
- Crossbows and Spears and Thrown weapon types
- Endless Ledge mode as a partial Substitute for Cruel/Merc
- Award for killing Piety: Divine orb, for Dominus: Exalted, For Malachai: a unique gem that allows two soceted support gems to infer their properties as passives. Onely one drop per char, only one allowed to be used.
- Mirror of Kalandra can be obtained by completing a specific quest (shards of the mirror have to be found on unique bosses (%chance based, 12 shards, 3 pieces of frame - frame pieces a guaranteed drop from Piety/Dominus/Malachain); and is an extremely rare drop (complete item).
- More Masters, no dailies, just continuous missions.

>next to no item drops
No, there are item drops, except less useless shit, so when any item drops, it makes you think "shit, what can i do with it".
>>Increase currency droprate to where its no longer exciting
Ha. When did you get excited for a chaos orb drop? Sufficient amount of currency drop in order to facilitate crafting and barter/exchange betwee players. Ties in nicely to Masters and vendor recipes.
>>126708994
yes
>>126710227
Freeze occurs due to game loading assets that box spawns. Its usualy worse when its a rogue exile.
>>126710028
Trading is absolute garbage. It's at the point were I just buy 10 ex orbs for like 40$ every 3 month league because drops are terrible in this game + haggling for trading is the most annoying thing to do. Rather work 2 hrs and don't have to be arsed anynore spending hours haggling upgrading etc.
>>126711050
By making less useless shit drop you have to reduce droprates or you kill trading completely.
And yes I do still enjoy Fusing+ currency drops, having 5-10 chaos drop a map would kill any kind of enjoyment I get from those drops.
After rereading your post it really sounds like you just want to play D3. While I agree that PoE could learn a few things from D3, theres a lot more than D3 could learn from PoE.

Most drops you get are bad, but you get enough 1-5 chaos items while farming to make it not feel hopeless.
Or you can just farm Dried Lake/low-mid tier maps on an MF character and make multiple exalts a day.
Why is the 2.0 passive tree in the OP still????????
>>126709567
>increase droprate of currency in order to stimulate crafting
This is my biggest gripe with this game. Unless you're a streamer or play 12 hours a day, crafting the proper way (alts>regal>exalt) is retardedly expensive. Also, getting a 6L requires a stupid amount of either luck or currency.
99% of players never experience real crafting because it's more optimal to use the currency to buy items on a shitty third party website.
Hell, in my 1k+ hours of playtime I have only dropped 3 exalts myself.
>>126710290
and to elaborate on the crafting part - here's what i'm thinking would make a good incentive for using rarer currencies for crafting and would fit the game well, all that without the need to increase currency drop rates:
think darkshrines, but instead of sacrificing the item it gets a one time "meta mod", similar to what level 8 masters can do. as in you put in an item into the shrine and you can use 1 currency item on it with the "meta mod" active.
these wouldn't be as restricted as master meta mods though, so the better meta mods could be tied to higher map tiers and whatnot.
say you have a good life + dual res chest and you find a shrine which will only allow it to roll resistances. you'd be way more likely to use an exalt in this situation, because you're sure you won't get a fucking life regen or reduced attribute requirements
How do people get 20/20 gems so fast? Do they not use the recipe and just buy a shit load of GCPs? Literally everyone on the first page of the ladder has almost full quality/level gems..
>>126711910
Prior to Masters I would agree with you.
Doing the Alt+Regal+Master Craft gives you a decent item that doesnt cost an arm and a leg to make. You can then toss a couple exalts into it if your feeling lucky. The alternative is to just multimod it, either through a service or yourself.
If you try to craft a weapon this way it gets a lot more expensive, but there are endgame viable uniques for all the weapon types that dont suck ass, and I believe all of them except binos are 1ex or less
>>126711910
Well, you got the gist of it.
This guy >>126711272 did not.
>>126712242
Yes I did, your suggestion is retarded because theres no incentive to trade if you can create good items while playing self-found.
The only thing left would be uniques, and you decided that crafting uniques would be a good idea too.
So I can only assume that the items that would be traded after these changes are top tier uniques like Skyforth, which essentially kills trading and half the game.
>>126712242
No that guy did get it, he's just not a whining shitter playing the wrong game.
>>126712195
They are no lifers. And they used a lot the gcp recipe to make recipes and use them on already levelled gems.
How does Skyforth's stun threshold work? Since it's 500% of mana does that mean you basically can't be stunned?
>>126712195
Buy gcps?
Level with a offhand set of gems, and when your primary hits lvl 20 use the recipe to turn them into 1/20 and swap to the backup 20 gems, till your 1/20 gems catch up in efficiency, or even pick up quality gems and gcp them up.
>>126712195
You buy them from the people who play Vaal Spark.

Fuck off retard.
>>126713085
Not him, but I told you that you wanted to play Diablo 3.
Its a game with no trading and frequent crafting item drops that allow you to craft legendaries, its maps drop maps at high frequency. Rifts can be seen as an endless ledge mode, and Kanais cube pretty much fulfills the Malachai reward. Bounties could also be considered the continuous master missions.
You post just screamed Diablo 3 with a PoE setting.
Should I trade unique items I'm never going to use now or do I wait for the league to be over?
>>126713085
You're whiny because you're complaining about something that is a non-issue.
You're a shitter because you think crafting is out of reach of the average player.
You're playing the wrong game because you obviously don't like loot or trading for it and that's the entire point of the game. I don't know what game you want but it's definitely not this one.
>>126713485
What kind of crafting is done by the average player? Rolling flasks, jewels and using the sash or +1 cold/fire/lightning recipe for leveling? Don't make me laugh.
>>126713340
I have never played diablo 3 to begin with, so i would not know most of the shit you have posted there.
Besides from what i have seen, D3 does not match that requirement. Inflated numbers out of ass, atrocious graphics, terrible itemisation.
Although they way you put it, it seem like i would definetely prefer a mix of PoE with some some aspects (crafting and that cube thing, which can be easily replaced by Masters) from D3. Then again, endless ledge is a dungeon type from PoE racing... so why is it an issue then? So i the end, the right one would be an improved PoE?
Dude, you make no sense whatsoever.
>>126713485
Your post can be easily described by one word: strawman.
>>126708140
Make it flashy and 'stylish' like D3, make gameplay smooth like in D3. Done, best game ever.
>>126713734
I figured you havent played D3 or you would be playing it instead of PoE.
And yeah, PoE could use some things from D3 to make it a better game, only problem is is that you unknowingly picked the things that would turn PoE into a D3 clone.
>>126713734
Masters are average player crafting, you put in average amounts of currency and get average 4-6 mod items.

>average amounts of currency and get average 4-6 mod items
Say thank you to GGG for making Master crafting average (all they had to do was make better affixes available at cost of many more chaos). Even though it is not. If one wants/needs to have a good item with perfect rolls, one has to unload ungodly ammount of currency and a heap of exalts. Because it can be done, and rich, very rich players do it.

Wait so you want to be able to craft perfect items at the cost of lots of currency because it costs lots of currency to craft perfect items????
>>126715126
I'm having a hard time finding gear I could use that has the sockets I need. Is it better to try and roll those stats onto gear with the sockets you need?
>>126715061
You can follow the conversation to get to his original post.
Whats wrong with master crafting exactly? What you said is exactly how it should be.
If youre rich enough you can make absolutely ridiculous items and perfect your character, if youre not rich you can get an alright alternative that works just fine.
Thats how video games with gear work, you go from Bad->Okay->Good->Above average->Amazing->Godly with each tier requiring more work/money to get to.
>>126715459
Its easier to roll the sockets on gear.
If youve run into Vorici a few times and gotten him to level 4 you can invite him to your hideout for a bench that will give you 4 sockets for 10 Jewelers and a 4 link for 5 fusings.
In the case of a 5-L its usually easier to roll the stats by using Alterations to get Life+Resist and then regaling it and master crafting on either a second or third resist with Haku.
>>126715459
I'm assuming you're still leveling? If that's the case you don't need much gems. I usually just use my main skill with 2-3 support gems depending on what I can find. Probably a single gem or two for my auras but those are easy enough to find, if needed I'll just drop a chrome or two to get a good socket. I don't bother much with the rest, until I reach act 3 merciless when I start looking for end game gear. At this point you just craft the right sockets/links on gear with great stats.
In general it's cheaper to get the right stats and then craft the right gem setup on them. But during leveling there isn't a real rule or law to it, that's something you get a feel for once you understand how much your orbs are worth. For now i'd say don't bother much with your sockets besides a few chromes or maybe a jeweler orb or two on really good leveling items.

>>126715480
>Whats wrong with master crafting exactly? What you said is exactly how it should be.
You want to say that intentionally making Master crafting "average" is how it should be?
Or the fact that vast majority of players will never see an exalt, or two in time necessary to make an upgrade or to take a shot in crafting "amazing->godly" items, before player decides to either reroll or leave.
Rich players are rich because they are either streamers or an organised bunch of no-life/NEETs, which means it is their full time dedication. And all they do is figure out the best build, and use it, since it is be-all-end-all. Any gear necessary for that becomes expensive in order to prevent anyone else getting the opportunity to try it/have it, unless someone gets lucky or scumms ones way to that build.
And all that stems from gating the average player. Why do you think that exalt to chaos ratio spiked from initial 1:30 to 1:50 and then all the way to 1:70, 1:80 (Warbands)? You seem to forget that whole Ventor debacle.
>>126716595
Yes, thats how it should be.
I cant help that the vast majority of players are incapable of trading, you can easily make an exalt in a day and have a job at the same time.
The richest players in other games are also no-lifers, so I dont see how thats any different.
And there are quite a few end game viable builds right now, with a number of them costing less than an exalt to be end game viable.
The Chaos to Exalt prices have spiked so high because of the uselessness of chaos at endgame, which is a completely different discussion.
Im sorry that this game doesnt appeal to the average player, but im glad that GGG doesnt cave into people like you and turn their game into a piece of trash. PoE is the only alright ARPG on the market right now, and as long as we ignore suggestions like yours, it will stay that way.

No shit an average player isn't going to see exceptional items, and that's how it should be. That way there is always something to work for no matter how much time you waste. That's the whole point, your gear can always become better. Crafting perfect items is hard and should be hard.
Should they make crafting more accessible? sure why not. But time investment is not what bottle necks crafting, it's the intricate affix and pricing system that makes it complicated. Anyone can make enough currency to start crafting and actually profit from it, thing is it's way too hard at first to understand how to do it. What bases to use, what rolls to keep, what currency to slap on it, what to mastercraft and how much their items are actually worth.

I know how to fix PoE

Ive got a friend with a 128gb SSD and he only put Windows on it, refuses to put games on it. I dont understand why you would buy an SSD and not use it.

Only if you are lucky and spend sufficient amount of time on trading, or flip.
>I dont see how thats any different
Probably shows that something is not exactly right, does it not? It is one thing to have rich players in the game who become rich trough time spent and effort dedicated, it is another thing to have rich players via gating content.
As to yur third point, i agree. Because otherwise very few people would play the game.
Chaos are actualy quite useful, seems like you certainly have not followed the debacle.
And you fifth point doesnt even stand up to scrutiny.
>>126717238
>>give me everything because I don't want to work for it
And another strawman.
Regardless, the average player (not a moron) will figure out whats to what by the time they reach Merc difficulty. At that point, it is the availability of currency that will bottleneck crafting, not time invested (one can play 500 hours flat and not find a single exalt or a divine) unless you mean eternal grind in order to aquire a shot at crafting a good ring, because by that time you will need something else or switch completely to something different, which makes all tat grind possible. Or are you trying to push catch 22? Grind to get currency to craft/buy this ring that you need to grind to craft/buy it?
>>126717583
The "insane knowledge barrier" is only imposed by those already at the top.
Doesnt take much to know that a tri-res ring with high res rolls is already good, or even better if it has decent life/es and IIR.

Here is a logical fallacy for you, you're a fucking self rightous autistic retard and you remind me of projectPT.
The things you asume as facts are blatantly wrong. I do not have the strength or courage to try and argue with a thickheaded semi intellectual like yourself. Feel free to proclaim yourself a victor and use this as evidence that you were right all along. I will find solace in the fact that you do not work for GGG and your opinion does not matter.

i want to make a CoC wander but im not sure if i can pull it off due to my computer. my rig has a relatively strong graphics [gtx 960] card but a rather weak cpu [phenom II x4 965], so i have to know, is this kind of build going to slow down my cpu with all the damage and positional calculations or is this mostly a gpu related load that causes it what with all the crazy particles

>>126722796
Its the challenges. People said it will take ages because no one farms Hall of Grandmasters for the card sets and that only like 2-3 people will even be able to get 32/32 due to it.
Apparently they were wrong since the first guy got it in half a month.
>>126723002
I see. Thanks.
I should probably go read what the challenges are, I never pay attention.
>>126721945
Dude I'm playing Mjölner discharge with a gtx260 and a core2duo e8400.
>>126723002
why would you need to farm grandmasters for this
>>126723860
Because you need 10 card sets. And there are only two ways to get them. One is grand masters, the other one a card that only drops in Excavation. Getting 10 of either should take ages.
>>126723985
i am sure it's easier to farm excavation than farm grandmasters
dunno which card has a better drop rate though
I know this is pretty minor, but god damn does this need work,
>>126724165
>grandmasters

hld pvp balance is so fucked that you can just get EA and blow the whole grandmasters apart because it ignores every fucking way of defending oneself except frantically running away, which is something the ai doesn't do

I didnt realize Hall was so long.
It also looks like EA is strong because of the fucking walls before every pack of exiles.
He seemed to struggle against the enemies at the end of each room.

wall shooting and explosion overlapping is the tactic for pvp, EA has shit single target damage otherwise
>>126724270
It uses Google custom search, so I doubt that will happen.
How come there are no fucking spells which use a mix of Fire+Cold/Fire+Lightning/Cold+Lightning
Everything just uses just one of the three and there are fucking passive branches for split elements and there's literally no use for Avatar of Fire but to bolster your potential flammability with something like Herald of X instead of a mixed skill.

Set up an item filter and pick up everything that shows up except non-chromatic whites. Whites are for rich people. Google the chaos orb vendor recipe, the GCP vendor recipe and the GBB vendor recipe and try to stock up for those.

You actually tought the streamer rng is just a joke?
Cmon m8, GGG is so afraid of what people see on streams they refuse to add low quality graphics options so people dont see shitty screenshots or videos of the game, you honestly dont think they add a boost to drops when people are streaming?
