Fruits of the sea posted:I was wondering about that as well. I'm pretty rusty but I don't think you can go seriously wrong making a build like you would in Grim Dawn. Okay, but, like, I don't know enough about grim dawn to make these decisions and I've gotten a couple of characters through the storyline and stuff, I know even less about Titan Quest. Assuming it has the same kind of respec mechanic I'm fine flailing around and fixing it later if things seem bad, but you can't repsec your class choices, so I'm hoping somebody can point me at a good combo. That's fun to play. Mor advice about what kind of gear I want to look for with the build, etc would be nice too.

The next 2 proper updates for Wolcen should shift things around a fair bit, plus they've apparently bolstered their team size to better tackle it---so I can't help but hold out hope that it will Get There within the next several months to a year. Which is far from ideal for a game out of Early Access as opposed to in it...but from their earliest KS days it was clear that they were almost certainly going to wind up taking the scenic route.

Look at damage types supported by both your masteries. Try to skill an ability that will provide health and energy regeneration or leech. As for recommendations, dream + anything should be good. Even post anniversary edition nerf, dream is still amazing.

I think a lot of the animations in Last Epoch are place holders and are still slated to be replaced. At any rate I just started playing a mage and I feel like its animations are acceptable. The game is really fun, by the way. While it’s still held back by, in my opinion, the typically weak ARPG control scheme and second to second gameplay, juggling resource and skill management so far is a lot more interesting and involved than in Grim Dawn.

Also, if you want the most bog-standard can finish the game build. Warfare+Defense is incredibly good at just chugging through everything like an unstoppable tank. It does require a good shield/weapon though.

Picked this up over the Steam sale -- I guess the answer is "Keep Playing", but ever since I unlocked this Aether Ray on my Arcanist I have zero reason to ever use any other skill? Only level 26 but absolutely everything just melts. Additionally Occultist has felt like a complete waste of a secondary spec These pets do zero loving damage

Hey, Curse of Frailty is a pretty great source of resistance reducation AKA bonus damage. Also bloody pox is bizarrely effective with the right spec, despite looking extremely mediocre on paper.

It really says something about how important damage reduction is when a skill that applies it singlehandedly turns Occultist from a total joke mastery that no non-pet build would ever take into a solid (if not top-tier) pairing for every other mastery in the game.

I do it on my tainted flame deceiver and it is immensely fun. They can't die and they do damage based on your stats, not +pet, and their RR stacks with curse.

So I've played a couple random builds that start to really struggle in ult, what is something that is like broken good and fun to play? My fav character so far was probably a saboteur, as teleporting around meleeing peeps was fun.

I've personally had good luck with a self-found vanquisher's set build. I cleared Shattered Realm up to 75, though I didn't try the crucible, so I don't know how well the build would do there. The idea is to reduce the cooldown on Vire's Might to as low as possible and dash around lighting everything on fire. It's mobile, tough and deals decent damage. I went with templar, though sentinel, shield breaker or paladin would probably all also be fine. There was a good guide for a vanquisher sentinel on the official forums that you could check out. At the end of the day, however, the best way to answer the question "why do I keep dying in ultimate" is probably just to read more and try more builds. Eventually you'll get a sense of what kind of stats you need to survive, then you'll be able to make almost anything work in the campaign. There are good guides on the official forums for what kind of stats to look for. I think shadowstrike builds are really "meta" in the last few patches (I haven't kept up too much recently, though), but you probably want to look more at infiltrator (or maybe trickster or reaper) rather than Saboteur. Focus on stacking -% cold resistance and cold damage. Morgoneth's set is built for this and is obtainable for strong self found builds. There should be lots of resources on the official forums for shadowstrike builds. I've mentioned the official forums three times. They rightfully have a bad reputation for being full of elitist pricks, but they also have loads of invaluable resources that simply aren't available anywhere else.

My warlord is lvl 48 and has been using the same green 1h main for the last 15 levels or so based on DPS number within the item description. There's nothing that comes close. Did I just get a fantastic drop that's carried me through the levels or am I missing something?

Ok so I got this game and have been enjoying it, but I'm a little over level 50 and things are starting to get harder. I've been using the laziest build I could google with minimum effort . I basically just walk around and collect loot while things happen on my screen. Eventually I'll try something that actually makes me use effort, but this is kind of a chill way to play when my pets aren't all constantly disntegrating. Will this build keep working for me, or will I hit a wall at a certain point like I remember old Diable 2 pet classes doing? Up until now I've basically been ignoring pretty much every mechanic and just equipping stuff that has bonuses to pets. Should I keep playing this way, or am I approaching the point where I need to start looking for resistances or farming factions or whatever. I have not even finished the normal playthrough but I am into the first expansion content and just killed an ancient river monster (copy of the base game big boss).

Resists are important for survival but that build will take you through ultimate no problem.

Best way to compare weapons is to whack a practice dummy a dozen times. It’s totally possible you got a lucky roll though.

GD is overcap all your resistances first, then squeeze in DPS. Glass cannons don't work. Ignore the DPS indicator. It assumes you'll only be autoattacking and doesn't consider very important things like resistances, resistance reduction and proc'ed effects. The only way to know if a weapon is better is if you're killing stuff faster with it.

Perfect podcast / twitch watching replacement for PoE when I get irritated / burned out. Yeah, I’m enjoying it for what it is. I don’t necessarily agree with their balance philosophy, and there’s plenty of poo poo that doesn’t work as advertised if at all, but the recent patch added a ton of new bosses and completely upended itemization, opened up a ton of build variety as compared to before. My recent char is an FoH paladin/arcanist, doesn’t have the best clear but can facetank virtually anything and burn through end game bosses reasonably quickly. I’m still working on farming up the new mythical sets and such, but I think I might try a m’av or old gods zon next. Got a few Leoric’s pieces now too, that seemed intriguing.

I've really enjoyed the 4? seasons of PoE I played, but every time I came back there was more weird artifacts and mechanics from previous seasons. This was cool at first, but it feels like half the content could be edited out with no harm. Put it in the goofy end-of season events instead. To be honest I'm probably just tired of speed-running the labyrinth for 100th time.

Yeah, PoE can be fun but I keep coming back to Grim Dawn in particular because it actually understands that ARPGS are about killing monsters and taking their stuff, not spending 5 hours a day on multiple third party tools to manage a trade system that would have been archaic 15 years ago. Hell, you can't even play level-appropriate content without trading in PoE.

I really like PoE's story, visuals, and gameplay. I think the skill tree and gem system are cool as hell. I still have yet to get to the endgame because I bounce off of the gearing meta every single time.

I got about halfway through POE's campaign (which outside of a few bosses was way to easy, though I hear it gets tougher), stopped for a while, and fired it up a couple times but just couldn't get back into it because some update meant I had to keep resetting my half-remembered skill tree and opening up my inventory to figure out my gear made me groan. Unpopularly, I also prefer Crate's handcrafted world over POE's D2 style procedural one, though it had some pretty tilesets. I'll still try POE2 when it comes out because its change to skill gems looks like much less of a chore than the current system.

You could do a fun Shaman/Necromancer pet build that leans on having buff Blight Fiends and Briarthorns If you want a more active playstyle they have some pretty absurd Vitality damage synergy since Necromancer has a bunch of vitality spells and Primal Swarm decreases Vitality resistance by 60%.
