>>145066164
rekt :^)
New to this game. Is there such thing as too much elemental resistance? Most builds I see seem to suggest grabbing as much of it as you can.
>>145066334
Sort of.
Getting enough resistance to hit the 75% cap is required to just play, but going over that cap to protect against curses isn't wasted.
>>145012701
Yes it is
100% dead
820 is completely dead
Alts to chaos ratio is 20 : 1 which means theres little to no demand
Last league jews to exalt was 300 now its like 5-600 to 1
Not only the league is trash but perandus made sure people won't put up with the shitty drop and crafting systems

>>145065284
I went for hybrid too with 3,5k armour. Extremely comfy to play compared to evasion shitters I had in previous league
What if the reason this league is so dead isn't because it's bad, but because poeHUD isn't up to date?
>>145068948
820 still has a ton of spam at the daily reset. This shit is far from dead.
On another note, it's been almost a week and there's one person on SC at 96, everyone else is at 95. Is it going to take another week before anyone hits 100?
Does drillneck only work for arrows now? I thought arrow pierce chance also used to apply to spells. Which is why it was so good for cock? My tooltip on frostbolt isnt changing much with pierce gem
>>145069201
projectile != arrow
>>145069201
>My tooltip on frostbolt isnt changing much with pierce gem
Frostbolt already has 100% dipshit, that is the cap.
>>145069540
>>145069387
Im assuming you guys are new or something?
On CoC builds the pierce chance on spells was also counted as arrow pierce so increased tooltip DPS.
It says arrow, but it actually counts toward any projectile. At least it used to.
>>145069182
Exp nerf has been hard on babbies who can no longer chain gorges all day to hit 100 in 3 days
>>145069540
>>145069387
ih nm i guess since it auto-pierces the game doesn't count the gem as adding any pierce chance whatsoever.
This works for spells like spark, but not auto-piercing spells. Pretty fucking lame actually considering the gem should give global pierce vs the spells local chance
https://clips.twitch.tv zenocidegenius/CrazyCormorantHumbleLife
is zeno still our guy
>>145069846
Frostbolt has 100% chance to pierce implicitly. It cannot gain anymore. Putting on a pierce gem will only give it the gems more modifier and not any extra damage from the "pierce chance" because it literally does nothing because you can only have 100% chance.
>>145065284
Completely useless unless you have dual sustain and/or are ranged with really good evasion.
Hybrid life/es gear is inherently worse than anything else in game. (Cannot roll top hybrid and life rolls at the same time)
Can't use BR.
Hybrid is only good in niche, niche, niche builds. And even then, you could probably do just as well being life-based.
>>145070047
i thought maybe the pierce gem acted globally so it would override the frostbolts native chance to pierce with its own.
>>145070289
>And even then, you could probably do just as well being life-based.
With my frostbolt caster, I could either have 6k health or 6k health and 3.5k es.
How can a pure life based be better than have 3.5k buffer on top? It's not like I magically now have access to more life nodes.
>Completely useless unless you have dual sustain
All you have to do is get ghost reaver.
>>145070512
>All you have to do is get ghost reaver.
Vile Bastion from Occultist skilltree also works nicely
>>145070512
Like I said, it's good in niche builds. You can use the extra buffer, sure why not. You can afford a ranged, evasive playstyle. You don't really benefit from frenzy charges/cast speed so the loss of BR is not a big deal. For most builds, hybrid is simply not worth the effort. If it works for you, your build is niche.
>>145070289
What's BR? I'm new and still learning the abbreviations.
>>145070820
>If it works for you, your build is niche.
Almost all casters/summoners can easily run hybrid. Sure it's not good for attack builds, but I wouldn't call "casters" niche.
Also there are a bunch of was to get frenzy charges for casters (who get nothing from bloodrage, and don't have the regen to support it anyway).
I get mine from Herald of Ice with Ice Bite linked to it.
>>145070512
Why not go CI at this point? why split your ehp in 2 parts when you could have it in one, with fully effective leech? Leech isn't terribly effective on a 3.5k "pool", since it caps at 20% of it without VP. And if you pick VP, you want CI.
>>145071157
It's not like I am going out of my way to deeply invest into this shit, the gear I need to wear anyway has ES on it, some node I take increase ES also and that's that. Why fuck about and turn it into a CI build for? Just so everything can be more expensive and my build less efficient in getting what it needs because now all the life nodes I am on are useless and I have to travel to ES?
Hybrid builds are not 50/50 split builds or some shit, they are simply life builds that also wear ES gear so they boost it a bit for a nice buffer. CI builds are totally different things.

>not running BR for frenzy charges
Nice fucking build desu senpai. Honestly if your build doesn't have frenzy/endurance charges up you're either doing a shit build or are just lazy. No reason not to have those charges on almost every build.
>>145074260
Nice job not reading the post fully dipshit. I already said how I gain frenzy charges without the massive downsides of BR.
>>145074637
Other ways are likely either just socketing a frenzy gem which is a retarded waste of time, or using poacher's mark in place of literally any other curse that would be better for your build. "Massive downsides of BR" if your build can't out sustain 4% life degen as physical damage than you're just going to die to white zombies anyways. More builds are likely to just be able to use BR than to be able to socket ice bite anyways.
>>145073643
So it's not just me then
The game is actually running worse than before for other people too?
>>145075573
everyone's having issues, even the "it works on my machine :^)" thousand dollar support package players
>>145075573
yes, the "performance patch" everyone has been waiting months for has only made the game worse. much worse. and the new league is boring and tedious. the game is dead already less than a week into the league.
Am I cute yet, /poeg/?

hows srs holding up end game wise?
I decided to roll an srs build but my isp has been fucking up with lag spikes so I'm only level 57.

>>145077184
can immediately tell teh difference, load times are what they were pre 2.3 but the game stays so much smoother in maps and towns
>>145077108
played it before ascendancy, with a +3 staff it was ok, didn't have a 6L though. Solo play works well, in group you'll feel like you're not contributing any damage. Other skills outshine it in clear speed but if you can live with that it's an ok build. also AI is a bit more retarded than it used to be.

Why don't more people use these boots?
They've been a godsend in that terrible grind from Normal to Cruel, at which point I replace them with 30% boots. Hell, sometimes I keep them on until Merciless if the resistances hit just right.
They're 1c at most within 1 day of a new league, and because you're racing and ignoring everything you don't give a shit about the increased physical.
They've been +40% MS for me 90% of the time. Wanderlust a shit. I'm already leveling my third character this league thanks to these sweet fuckers.
These boots are top fucking kek m8s.

So honest question. What does this game have over current Diablo 3?
I could understand the mass exodus after D3 vanilla but the game actually has gotten pretty great but I'm thinking of trying PoE to freshen things up/relive diablo 2.
>>145083854
You just explained it yourself you fucking baiter.
D3 isnt Diablo.

>>145083854

at least in D3 though you don't have to go through story mode 3 goddamn times
it's probably the most annoying thing about PoE for me
time get your shit together GGG
>>145083854
>What does this game have over current Diablo 3?
A fucking passive skill tree?
>>145083854
Everything from better randomness to better drops to better artstyle to better theme to better skill progression to better endgame. There's nothing d3 does better than poe in any way, even "being diablo" is done better by poe.

You can actually make fun and interesting builds, comprimising combinations of the skill tree, skill gems and unique items. Ganted there are a lot of fotm builds, but there is a lot of build diversity, especially now with ascendancies.

you could have bought one with those jews and not used a single fuse. you math it out.

>No more frametime farming
Fuck
>>145085906
or you have nothing, which is what you got. If you got ex to burn go for the extra socket and slim chance at a 6 link. if you need a 6 link, prace the correct 6 linking procedures (multiple bases and ~1000 fuses to start)
>>145082461
I'm over here running around with +73% Movement Speed total in normal but the rest of my stats are absolutely crap (also using Briskwrap). I value movement over everything else. I basically spam life flasks and quicksilvers, but it's faster than gearing properly. Ain't nobody got time for that.
Once I hit Merci though I can't get away with this crap. If a physical makes contact I'll be dead.

SO kind of a nub player here and I'm wondering what you guys pick up in terms of rares
I started doing the unID recipe for 60-75 ilevel rares for double the chaos, but everything 75+ I've been identifying. I haven't bothered to learn how to determine certain good items like quivers and 2handers so I usually don't pick those up.
>>145079437
KB, disc and ice trap. I mean any person who plays this game for a while switches to these 3 unless he is an autistic archer.
So do you guys think they'll ever actually get rid of Cruel difficulty, or am I just kidding myself?
>>145086603
Another hardcuck BTFO
>>145086736
there's nothing wrong with picking up nearly everything to vendor or recipe for currency early in a league. Regals have settled at 1:1 with chaos the last couple leagues so it's not a high value recipe.
A good way to learn what's worth what is to keep what you do pick up for recipes in a 1/2c tab and see what gets instantly bought. see what you overlooked on the item.
eventually just pickig up the better bases (vaal regalia, imbued wands, sorc boots, hubris circlets, etc) is fine.
>>145086941
Of course not. It's part of the ARPG experience.
>>145086941
the only way cruel is going away is if another act is added. that's not going to happen unless the game is fixed and everyone that quit comes back and buys ALL the mystery boxes. and that's not going to happen. Maybe whoever ggg sells off to will remove it or allow you to pay to skip.

>the trueness of an arpg has nothing to do with making you arbitrarily repeat content
According to whom? D1 and D2 paved the way for "arpgs" the way PoE is designed. Maybe D3 is diferrent, and that's where you're coming from, but D3 has nothing of a D3 game. It's another game with the Diablo label slapped on it. I could argue for Cruel being removed in the future when Act 5 is added, but for now it stays and there's nothing wrong with that.

d2 has more players than poe whenever they reset the ladder, you fucking retard
>>145090258
poe will be good when armour means something
poe will be good when they balance crit / non crit so that most (melee) builds are equally as viable to level as, and so that one doesnt shit all over the other at endgame
poe will surely be better when they finally get rid of the outdated difficulty modes and replace them with more mapping
ggg sucks and only cares about which mtx yo'ure gonna buy for that new fotm skill that shits over everything they released previously
>>145090505
Why are you even here? Shouldn't you be playing D3, an obviously more suitable game for the likes of you?
>>145090581
I was there once.
And this is why I drink, now.

These sports players have been in shape all their lives with minimal effort.
They don't SUDDENLY have to get strong and exercise, they were taught to do it from a young age, so it come naturally.
Also, good genes.
>>145087529
I would pay $40-50 for a PoE "Adventure Mode".
>>145090786
yes good genes and minimal effort makes you a pro player
>>145090691
Where's the Lacerate and Shield Charge and EQ MTX then?
>>145090336
im merely saying that saying that arpgs that deviate from the d2 formula arent real arpgs is incorrect, because the definition of the genre doesnt include anything that d2 does exclusively
>>145090605
that refutes absolutely nothing i said
>>145090723
nice non sequitur
>3 difficulties are good because they were in diablo 2
>auction house is bad because it was in diablo 3
there are retards in this very thread who think these are proper arguments
>>145091014
you've gotten lost in your own argument. i'm done here
>>145090546
no shit idiot
it's still happening to memestreamers regardless
>>145090786
>These sports players
You sound like an expert, ill just trust your science.
>>145091050
anyone who isnt deluded realizes the difficulties are just content padding as they were too in older arpgs
>>145091129
bye
>>145091050
>3 difficulties were still loathed even back in the days of D2
You youngsters don't know what Battle.net shitposting was
>Auction house was bad because in diablo 3 the entire loot system was built around using it regularly.
>>145091014
PoE doesn't have to follow a formula of an arpg, whatever the fuck that means according to your definition. It's not an AAA game made by a renowned game company. It originally started as a garage project by a handful of nerds who loved D2 and wanted to create its spiritual successor. It doesn't even matter what you consider PoE to be or what you think it *should* be. It's not for you to decide, and if you think the model is wrong or "incorrect" just fucking play something else. You do sound like an underage /v/ermin like another anon pointed out
>>145091415
you sound buttblasted
>>145088447
How times have changed.
>>145091415

Getting angry isn't good for your blood pressure, Chris.
If you removed cruel difficulty how would you redistribute the following:
-ascendancy points
-skill points from quests
-bandit rewards
-lab enchants
>>145091619
D3 is not a "real arpg" if a "real arpg" is something like D2 or PoE is. You're merely having trouble understanding why some people might prefer the arpg definition of D2 over that of D3, which tends to indicate you were too young to have ever played D2 when it was popular in the first place.
>>145091554
>>145091745
>haha you mad?
Thanks for proving my point, underage faggots.
>>145091773
shift half to normal and half to merc, holy shit that was hard
>>145092024
you still sound buttblasted
>>145091773
D2 nostalgia is the only reason three difficulties even exist
>>145092141
I don't give a shit, faggot. Go back to playing your babby games, you diaper wearing twat
>>145092123
Yeah this. Normal lab gives 3. Merc lab gives 3. Give the "optimal" quests passive points to even it out.
>>145092263
>I don't give a shit
>responds to every post
sure thing, boss
>>145092427
I don't give a shit about sounding buttblasted, reading comprehension is hard, did you fail elementary school? Remove yourself from the gene pool you fucking retard
>>145091773
just as they added one lab out of normal gameplay already, other stuff could be dumped into special "map" zones
in any case, more acts will be added. so its not a matter of "if" but of when it will get redistributed among more acts
>>145091830
you can attempt to define "arpg" around any game and it will only be useful to compare said game to others. the whole point of defining a genre is to shave out the parochialities of its representatives and leave the abstract core of it
in this case, both d2 and d3 are real arpgs, no matter how much you try to turn the argument into an adhominem about my age or what games a i played back then
>>145092516
>being this buttblasted
>>145092553
I'm not defining arpg in any way, everyone has their own definition and for those who loved D2, D3 has NOTHING of Diablo game, it's a shitty game which is a far cry of the franchise it used the name to sell millions. People played D2 for a decade, D3 was shit on arrival and has the replayability of a console game.
>>145090890
they fucked up with shield charge because they cant into balance
you can be sure the lacerate mtx is coming very soon as well as eq
mtx themselves arent the problem, its the goal for ggg, as I said
the core mechanics are fucked ( again, crit vs non crit, armour ) and to keep people playing they add good content ( op skills, updates ) on top of what is shit and should have been fixed a long time ago
I have been playing since cb and 2bh people who are still playing and think the game is good have a severe case of autismo.
especially when those people play hc with macros and auto logouts
it just doesnt make any sense
Both sides of this argument is amusing. You guys need to step back and take a look.

This would be cool for endgame, but I can only see GGG implementing them as RNG grindfests to even appear.
>>145092739
>everyone has their own definition
which is pretty arbitrary when your definition is solely based a single game instead of being a bit more universal. like i said, if your definition if based on D2, then you are comparing every other game that calls itself an ARPG to D2, which serves no purpose other than highlights its differences to D2
this is not how you defines genres
>People played D2 for a decade,
People also playing pac man or centipede for decades because there was a limited choice of video games. D2 wasnt the only arpg (i can think of nox coming out before it and being pretty popular) in its generation, but it had the most replayability due to the then-novel battle.net component and this was during a time where a dozen heavily marketed AAA vidya wouldn't come out every year.
>>145091317
The entire loot system ATM in PoE is built around the trading system. It really is.
>>145093436
Be more specific in your labels then. Skyrim is an ARPG. Dark Souls is an ARPG. What is even the point of using that term without the implicit understanding that we're talking about similar things?
>>145089936
all the top hc players are dropping out because shits boring and tedious
>>145093678
>What is even the point of using that term without the implicit understanding that we're talking about similar things?
the term you want then is a D2-like or D2clone
then yes, all those games arent D2-like, and PoE only superficially is
>>145093842
you know shit's bad when havoc isn't rerolling to claim #1
How the fuck do I get single target DPS with arc?
>>145093978
Why the fuck would you want a D2-clone to turn into D3? Why not just fucking play D3 if you love it so much?

>>145094003
Is it really that hard to make a new melee gem that is actually good and not some shitty aoe cleave with sub par dmg compared to eq?? dunno maybe that inflicts bleed in an aoe?? so we can ACTUALLY use bloodlust FOR ONCE?? one fucking melee gem that isn't SHIT and can be used end game ffs, also same with a fucking spell??? last good spell was BV ffs and same with a bow skill, not just some fuckin shitty split arrow copy that sucks dick goddammit, if they just added 3 new gems (melee,spell,bow) that where actually good and could be used end game I would actually play the game for longer than a week and make more than one character BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO they add SHITCUNT skills that are out classed by 4 year old shit, nice game retards
>>145094458
you seem to think that removing cruel (which i think is what you are taking about when you say 'making it more like d3') is not part of the plan of GGG or is somehow something uniquely related to D3 (other games have done it, other arpgs haven't even used a difficulty-based progression in the first place)
they said they plan to make 10 acts. cruel is going away eventually whether you like it or not
Wow, last league, with all those announcements they made about improvements, I really through this game was going to be good again.
But they're just made it worse.
This game is fucking garbage now.
And I still can't stop playing it.
>GGG will never make a system that lets you combine 2 maps together to make a hybrid map
>The forsaken masters will never sell items to put in the map device to enable unique map mods
>There will never be uber versions of other bosses that get their own unique maps/map fragments like atziri
>Endgame mapping will always be doomed to grinding yellows and sometimes doing Atziri when you get bored
if i build around cyclone will it perform well or should i just play memequake
>>145095145
Cyclone is only good for CoC since it was nerfed.
>>145095117
>GGG will never make a system that lets you combine 2 maps together to make a hybrid map
i imagine that maps are procedurally generated, so imo there is nothing that could make this impossible
>>145094812
I also said I'm in favor of cruel being removed at some point after A5 is aded, but as it is now, it serves as the transition between normal and merciless which has been historically the case ith d1+d2 and there is no reason for it to change until the number of acts added makes the leveling phase too bloated
>>145095145
cucklone can work but people mostly use it for coc builds, go with memequake
>>145095117

Yeah, nah, Uber Izaro can go suck a big fat one.
>>145095349
some would say it feels already bloated, but thats mainly due to pacing issues in a4
>>145095504
maybe not combine the tilesets, but randomly chose one map skeleton (big open areas like shore, corridors like arsenal, etc) and one tileset from the maps selected, and shuffle the mobs/mods as well. keep the 2 bosses randomly selecting boss room or just in the open, double chance for masters, etc
>>145095429
>Hard to do without breaking balance
What if it was limited to 2 maps of the same tier?
The resulting map would still be the same tier, but have the combined mods of the to parent maps allowing for a deadly as fuck map with actual rewards. Some map mods could stack, leading to massive added fire damage, reflect being a massive threat again, etc. The map would only have one boss for balance purposes, which is randomly chosen between the bosses of the two parent maps.
