Is there any character level gating on any of the quests or act/difficulty transitions?

Vanguard Warden posted:One of the key distinction of staves is that they have a higher base crit chance than any other two-handed weapon. They're basically big two-handed daggers... And you took resolute technique, which turns your crits off. Static Blows can give you shock chance without crit, but if you're running Added Fire and Hatred (which you should) you could also be freezing and burning everything at the same time. You should also know those big generic 'melee physical damage' nodes you get at the start don't apply to the projectile damage from lightning strike, neither does your strength bonus if you don't get iron grip. The lightning strike projectiles basically function as a ranged attack made with a melee weapon at 70% effectiveness (though you get three projectiles so I guess it's more like 100% with a built-in LMP), so melee damage and your strength bonus don't apply, but any bonuses for using two-handed melee weapons or staves will still be applicable. You could go through the mana regen/elemental damage early in the templar tree instead, you'd probably find it to be more effective overall.

forge posted:So who's going to join me for the 1 week race. I don't care that you are not playing 24hours a day after it starts on sunday. The main goal I want to have is getting 3-5 of us to at least mid cruel on Sunday night. I consider the lower levels the shittiest ones anyhow. Oh this is hc btw if you already didn't realize. I'll probably be doing the 1 week race. I don't know if I'll be on right at the start of it though. I may have something to do on Sunday. As for what I'll be playing, I'll probably figure that out tonight or tomorrow. I was thinking a caster, maybe dual totem. I can always go LA since it's pretty easy to do well with, but I'm afraid that patch coming up may have nerfs for it. I tried an EK witch in today's 3h party and ended up #11 witch. I found EK to be pretty fun, so I'm considering it as well. If anyone has strong builds that aren't heavily reliant on specific gear or expensive world drop gems like chain and GMP, please post them. I think those types of builds would probably be the best for playing the races without the intent of going for the top placings.

I'm interested as well, depending on what time we're starting on Sunday. During the week I can play generally from 9 Eastern through midnight-1 AM. As far as what i'm playing, I may do some experimenting. I'm going to look at builds. I mean, I've been playing ranger and doing fine, so I know how the class reacts, but I"m always willing to listen to ideas. I just need to learn how to survive a rush. I've survived a 3 hour solo (if slowly) but not some of the others.

I'm definitely interested in getting in on a race, but I have no idea what I would play. Something not melee, as I seem to get desynced roughly every second on my now-sc Marauder. Maybe some sort of cold caster, EK or LA thing. Any suggestions? I started watching a couple of the race videos that were posted in here, but only paid attention through A1. edit: Ugh, I just realised it starts in the middle of the afternoon on Sunday. I have a ton of free time during the week, but I wouldn't really be able to start until mid-afternoon Monday. Hauki fucked around with this message at 02:12 on Mar 1, 2013 |

Looks like we'll have a solid team.. I'll have all week off by random chance, so this works well for me. It's likely I'll have plenty of rares to pass on to those who fall behind.

Im considering making an ice based spell totem to go along with my LMP flame totem. I'm thinking Arctic Breath / Freezing Pulse. Does anyone have suggestions for good ice spells to put on a spell totem? I have no idea which would make an amazing one quite honestly. Just noticed ice spear. Yeahh thats the ticket.

OK, I'm pretty confused. I'm running Facebreaker with Infernal Blow, and I had previously gotten the 12% physical damage node for Maurader and noticed a large DPS boost from it. But now I took another Melee Damage node and my Infernal Blow DPS didn't change whatsoever. Adding and removing the Melee Damage gem still causes a 400 DPS change. So what's going on? Is there some kind of DPS cap I'm hitting, or is Infernal Blow's "convert physical to fire" thing creating a cap?

Just realized my account got hacked. Stole all my currency. Killed my Marauder. I hadn't logged in since they put the Security patch in place, and upon starting the game up tonight saw my Marauder was dead. Nothing I can do I guess?

I don't think there's much you can do except start anew. That really sucks. I've been spared so far I guess. Though if it helps, I'm an idiot and tonight I spent several Alchs on Raise Spectre, only to see it drop later on.  Not only did I overpay like crazy, but my face got rubbed in it later.

Yeah, I don't think there's much you can do about it now, that's really lovely  . I'm guessing you're HC from the fact that they killed your Marauder, or I'd offer you help in SC.

Does anyone have the Doedre's Damning unique ring that gives +1 curse for trade, on SC? I can't lock down a trade with one, weird stuff keeps happening (my recent favorite was "I'll trade for other uniques, I don't do currency yet")  I've seen 2 chaos offered for it, I'll give 1gcp. Character name is Vackuum.

Creating a dual ice spear totem build. Could use some suggestions on gem socketing. I'm thinking Ice Spear (B) Spell Totem (R) LMP(G) Faster Casting (b) Increased Critical Damage (B)

I need to know, does Tempest Shield work with Necromantic Aegis? That is, if I spec into NA, will all of my minions trigger the tempest shield effect when they block a hit? I have that 40% block shield so it could make a very nice build if it works that way.

So I just started playing this game about a week ago, I've been playing with the build calculator and I'd like some feedback. Is a 2h sword duelist viable? Would this build: http://goo.gl/6xb0B be decent? I'd probably head down to the health and regain nodes first and then start grabbing resists & sword damage.

Those little 6% all resist/15% single resist/15% single resist nodes aren't really worth it. I'd put those points elsewhere. You'll also want to plan your build out for about 90 points at most, as getting more than that takes ages with the current content.

Melee becomes a nightmare in merciless or midawy through cruel. Not sure how a duelist with 2h would fair. zxqv8 posted:I need to know, does Tempest Shield work with Necromantic Aegis?

I'd definitely tinker with your original build and/or mine a bit before using it. It's not final build status, because clear goals aren't really laid out. What skills are you planning on using in what pieces of gear? What do you plan on linking to them? Do you have any gameplay goals (mobility, survivability, dps, lots of auras, moves fast, etc)? Survivability wise, Endurance charges are good if you are having issues. You can help oak in merciless and pick up the one near all the stuff you already have. 25% reduction on top of your armor should lead to adequate survivability. The resist nodes are also decent fillers when you have shabby gear. You can always drop respec points in to them later, or you can orb of regret them if you have to. No big deal. Even with great gear you might grab them sometimes if you just got a killer new ring with really high life and crazy damage stats but some of your resists are a bit low as a result. Your original build might work out fine also, but I'd definitely consider the route optimization I did near the 6% attack speed side of the duelist tree, and the life regen nodes in the center aren't really that much of a steal. Same thing with the second 8-8-12 branch. You'd likely gain more life off of hitting the 30 str, 8% life, 8% life, 8% life you missed near the ranger area. It should be viable no problem, if that's all you were wondering. Khorne fucked around with this message at 08:08 on Mar 1, 2013 |

Somebody posted this duelist 2H build earlier in the thread, and it was a lot of fun up through level 43'ish? Early act 2 Cruel. At that point I got distracted by something shiny and ran off to the next great build of the day (I've got 5 guys up to level 43/44 now, seem to get distracted at the same point and go off to reroll). http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-...7826AHnpzD3vu_j The above Duelist build uses Lightning Strike as the primary AE, and Double Strike as primary single target damage. I found a Greater Multiple Projectile gem, so lightning is everywhere! Of course now I'm up to level 46 on a duel wield sword ranger guy, and he is murdering stuff like nobodies business, but it's harder to play due to the lower amount of life and reliance on leech/life on hit to constantly stay alive. Hell of a lot of fun though. http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/90797

Thanks for the advice everyone. So the impression I am getting is that melee basically sucks. Would a bow ranger be viable or are casters the only usable characters? Would a lightning arrow(damage)/ice shot(control) crit heavy build be ok? If so what would a good build look like? This is probably for mostly solo play btw.

I think that the only way people will get hacked now is if the hackers also have access to your email account. I got an email while at work yesterday saying someone from China had logged into my account so they locked it and sent the unlock code to my email. Also to you guys talking about melee... Patch 10.2 is coming out next week and will have skill balancing and probably the overdue melee support skills and sword skills etc. so melee might be in a better situation soon. Although desync is still going to be awful as melee.

I'd run out of a room to wait for my ES to regenerate and would get phantom hits and die, or suddenly teleport to the next room over in the middle of a bunch of frost mages. I eventually whirling bladed my way to the top to just not deal with it and that was a feat in and of itself with all the rubberbanding. Its kinda sapping my will to play right now when it gets really bad.

You're all over the place and don't really have anything to help out your resource costs. I dont see any mana, and you dont have blood magic so i'm not sure what you're aiming for there. If you want that to be more viable cut down on the small 2h nodes you have and aim towards marauder to pickup blood magic and life leech, and grab those endurance charge nodes as 5 endurance charges will do you some good. Drop the tiny nodes that are akin to 4% damage/2% aspd. Those are really small bonuses, given that 1 10str node will net you 5 hp and 2% damage.

Why don't I hear any mention of boss runs in this game? With how easily you can create new instances I'd think people stack Quantity/Quality and farm something like the A2 Bandits when they're the appropriate levels. I guess the Act bosses take more time, but you could kill the Bandits a few times a minute.
