The reason you are having trouble understanding my post is because you are arguing against a version of it that you imagined.

I did. Why again are you mad? Like I'm pretty sure we're in agreement here but your really struggling to communicate anything besides a vague hostility towards me. I'm trying because I generally like to understand what people are trying to say.

Oh I went back I see you're hostile because I thought calling things "high concept" was kind dumb got it. Relax I wasn't calling you dumb, I just felt like that would be the kind of phrase some pretentious person/developer may use to defend the bad leagues. If I want to call you dumb I'll call you dumb it'll be clear.

Just had something really sweet happen. I was fighting a breach and fighting them back when betrayal ambush started and then while the ambush was happening I started to notice alot of red fire circles starting to spawn. Beyond entered the fold.

I have a question. Why is it that we still have to go through all loving 10 acts for every new character we create? It's such a loving boring grind. Just let me start mapping at 1, with appropriately deleveled enemies, and skip the stupid story.

Pretty sure everyone who plays this game just wonders why they haven't ripped off D3's act system yet.

This has been brought up so many times and the answer for it is the same as most every other basic what-the-gently caress-were-they-thinking complaint: Chris Wilson doesn't actually play his own ~vision~

I'm afraid you missed Chris Wilson's plan for you to play POE for the next 10 years. That's 40 more act 10s

I purchased and 100%'d Huniecam so quickly that I still get friends shaming me over it. And I deserve to be shamed. But I did not praise the game. I called it fucked up. That's how fucked up it is: it's up there with Princess Maker as far as poster body counts.

I dunno, I kinda like the runway of a 10 act structure. A1-3 to remember how buttons are pushed, A4-6 to gather each mechanic. A7-10 to do the last labs and put the build in it's basic shape.

I come back each league and the full story takes up like 12 actual hours for league start and 6 hours for my speed run with level set relays already placed in stash.

It feels like a dumb hiking trail. I like it.

Remember the uber rushes of Diablo 2 and how you could get a new character to 80 in about 15 minutes? Yeah. I wish PoE had that feature.

e. 1 to 85-89 in 1 hour

what's a strong skill i can use to level a llrf char in a tabula which will be taking almost exclusively defensive nodes? i tried the new flame totem but the damage isn't very good even playing solo.

So I have this armor:



Trying to make sure I know what the suffixes and prefixes are. Is it:

Prefix:
Armor
Percent Armor
Stun Recovery

Suffix:
Fire Resist
Lightning Resist

It has an open suffix, so I think that's right. I was thinking about using the Blood Altar to try and swap Stun Recovery for another suffix and open up a prefix for life. Not sure if I completely got that right, or if it's a good idea, so I wanted to post here first.

There's an"advanced mod descriptions" option somewhere in the settings. Enable that, and then hold alt when you hover over the item.

it's been a while since i ran LL RF but if you don't mind picking up life nodes that you'll spec out of later, you can level as RF as early as level 30, although waiting until 40 will be a much smoother experience. use 2x kikazaru rings and a shaper's seed amulet. you'll need to run a mix of ruby flasks and life flasks to stay alive but it's not too bad.

before that though, you'll probably do ok with smite or some other melee skill. using the usual unique leveling weapons should give you enough power to clear well without any passive investment into melee damage

I agree with Dante, that the hottest places in hell are reserved for those who in a period of moral crisis maintain their neutrality.

CubeTheory posted:

I'd say that armor is probably not worth doing any beastcrafting on. The add suffix, remove prefix beast is worth around 15c and for that you can just buy armor with similar resists and an open prefix, and still have money left over. Also, you can almost always get something stronger for your build in the body armour slot than just a pile of resists and middling life.

A few leagues ago they even made the advanced mod descriptions better by only showing the tiers specific to that gear slot. It's great.

dare to fail gloriously

For anyone curious (I've heard it asked a few times), I hosed around a little with PoB and, at least with my Trickster, Swift Killer has a slightly higher max DPS (219k dot DPS) with full charges, but without any it's significantly weaker (179k dot DPS) compared to Prolonged Pain (217k dot DPS). So it seems to go along with what I've heard from others - you'll probably be slightly stronger during mapping, but a prolonged boss battle likely gives the edge to Prolonged Pain. In my novice view, it seems like Prolonged Pain is the more consistent choice, in my interpretation.

Do not trust in hope- it will betray you! Only faith and hatred sustain.

Two shopping questions. First, what slots are best for getting chaos resistance? Second, is there a way to search for a mod or an open affix to craft it?

The reduced damage taken from dots is also a really nice bonus, since it mitigates damage you cant evade/dodge. For frenzy generation in maps, you can still use bloodrage as a caster, and it will also make your shield charge faster, if that is what you are using. The regeneration from ED should easily make of for the damage to life, but if you are a hybrid, the damage to ES might be harder to accept.

The best slot for chaos resists kinda depend on your build, since there are uniques with a massive amount of chaos resist. You should be able to search for open prefixes and suffixes on the trade site.

Is there any specific reason that you want chaos resist? The game is balanced around not having any, so most people ignore it. You can get up to 35% on most rares, and you can get up to 50% from a watchers eye if you use purity of elements.

You can also just get +minimum frenzy charges on gear which makes Prolonged Pain by far the stronger option.

I'm attempting to craft myself a thing, and it's one part of the game I'm not really experienced in. The next step is to regal, and likely annul if the mod is crapola. I'm going to imprint this sword before I do that. Now, providing I either regal and win the lottery, or regal and successfully annul the bad mod the step after that is applying quality to the blade. Are my only options for applying quality either Attack speed + quality, Crit Strike Chance + quality, or Accuracy + quality? I'm not gonna do a stat + quality.

If the answer to the above question is in-fact true I guess the weapon will have the following if I do it correctly:
Prefix:
Fortify + Phys %
Flat Phys
Hits Can't be Evaded

Suffix:
Multiple Crafted Mods
Attack Speed %
Critical Strike Chance + Quality

Am I correct in my thinking?
