I've been vaguely playing through Cruel in the last few days, and getting the Lord's Labyrinth together. I should try to finish beforehand to make sure I get those Ascendancy points. After the Big Change there's no telling what will happen. You'd say I'm in the dull part of my summoner; getting life and resistance nodes close by, with no power increases. I'm honestly unsure whether the few curses I'm throwing in addition(Mostly Assassin's Mark) are really helping. Then again, it's not like throwing Arc to trigger Elemental Equilibrium to help Hatred Aura is adding much. Bloodly fucked around with this message at 23:05 on Jul 30, 2017 |

Stupid question. I have a Violent Dead jewel. The wording is 'with X intelligence in range, zombie slam attack does more damage, and has increased cooldown recovery speed'. The wording of that last part....I can't tell whether it's slower or faster. Because ofthis, I ain't placed it yet.

quote:I'm running an SRS/Zombie build right now and it seems to be doing very well. My zombies do seem quite squishy though. Look for Minion Damage or Minion HP in the tree. Also there are nodes and gems specifically for minion resistances, regeneration, and life leeching. No main stat feeds 'directly' into them, though the gem itself requires heavy INT. They get quite tough, especially since they start with 40/40/40/20 Fire/Ice/Lightning/Chaos resist.

whypick1 posted:Oh you, thinking you'll only make one character... That's a matter of sheer preference. Me, seeing all the poo poo that gets thrown at you, wonder 1 How a melee even deals with half of it and deals damage. 2. makes me not want to deal with any of it more than once ever. It's not worth the time or pain investment. I was similar with Diablo 2. Only one character has reached high levels, the rest I can't deal with or focus on.

NPR Journalizard posted:Quoting for posterity. I'm an old rear end perhaps, but I don't see the fun, only the pain and eternal deaths. If I'm still taking deaths even now as a summoner rear end in a top hat who actively has to/thrives on running around like a headless chicken to dodge whatever grade of gently caress you being thrown out and has the relative leisure to do so and thus deal with mechanics by actual observation, while the horde tries to do the actual damage, and has the relative space in the tree to take lots of life and or resist because they complete relatively early around 50, how does a build that has to worry about stacking it's own damage from the tree, that has to worry about raising his direct damage, that actually has to eat half of bullshit because they don't have a choice if they want to get the damage in, do ANYTHING? I look at something like Izaro or the Shaper or the Gods I'm fighting and frankly I'm fearful and intimidated. They were not easy, they were not a piece of piss, and once was frankly enough, despite the fact I'll need to eventually kill Izaro two more times, with probably worse resistance than now. I can't put in that effort again.

please knock Mom! posted:If you save the good rares and uniques you collect during the game, you only have to walk the walk of pain once per league I'm horrifically lucky that two uniques of value to my situation dropped. Leer Cast and it's damage aura, and Ambron's Charge(Yay, actual resists). My stuff has no value, and I have no actual currency-not in any value everyone keeps spouting. Trading is effectively barred due to sheer lack. Which was why I chose to be an summoner in the first place about 2 years ago-I knew I couldn't do anything of worth or value. Still can't. https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/Bloodlyshiva I think this is how you show yourself? I've died 41 times. I'm trash, I'll remain trash, and there's not really much hope. At all. I feel no accomplishment from what little I've done. The game says I'm a legend. I dun't even know how I ever killed The Beast. I remember many deaths. I can't do it again. I can't.

The deaths means something(And thank you for it-the impression I've been getting is basically, 'you suck if you ever have trouble or die to anything ever'), the flasks do not beyond what looks like what might be one of the high-end life flasks, maybe?

dis astranagant posted:I find that the biggest ender of characters is boredom and getting tired of holding the same button for hundreds of maps. please knock Mom! posted:this killed 3 of mine already, though 2 were more involved than holding a button I can say I'm not holding a button. I still cast plenty each engagement with Assassin's Mark, Arc and rarely a Fireball. It's something I need to think about. I 'should' use all my summons. In practice the skels only see the field when I need more bodies(Think Strongbox as well as bosses), and the Raging Spirits rarely get cast. When I need the bodies and damage most, I'm too busy running. Izaro proved that, as have the bosses of the Acts. I need to think about rejiggering. I dunno. Maybe a Totem? But the debuffs on the Spell Totem gem seem pretty nasty and I dunno if I'd take Totem boosting skills. Not that I especially have the slots.

How strong are the Herald of Purity summons, and how would you maintain them for a long while? 12 seconds doesn't seem very long.

Tencent has uh... $100 billion in assets and 55000 employees lol. I guess that means people will start either asking you or yelling at you to boycott them, if they haven't already.

Elentor posted:I know I'm just parroting myself and I apologize for that but it really needs to be reinforced that they need to stop working on new prettier things and take an entire league or two to work on optimizing things. Never happen. They're running on Chinese MMO standards. They don't care about the old, only the new. Bigger, flashier. More systems. More money intake.

Thought. Neo Rallying Cry depends on your weapon. There's an enemy which uses Rallying Cry. Ruins Hellion. Enemies don't HAVE weapons. Will it do nothing? There's an early enemy that uses Enduring Cry. I wonder if they'll become a problem? Or more useful when made a Spectre?

Life force is water-Disperers are sprinklers. You need to put it near your fields to cover them with the proper water. They have a range just like fields. You may also need to shift some seeds around in your fields, because a requirement for higher level seeds is to be surrounded by lower tier seeds. What complicates matters is that pylon chains-your pipes-can only shift one type of water around each, and you've got three different waters to spread around. Your storage can also only hold one type of water. Bloodly fucked around with this message at 15:37 on Jun 20, 2020 |

With so many gates in terms of what you require in terms of life and resistance, more control in crafting is more and more required.

Larry Parrish posted:I was always under the impression the game was balanced with killing whole packs in one shot in mind, especially for casters. You're supposed to get enough charges back to recoup the resources spent, and you can't do that if you only kill one monster a cast. But with the last patch it's pretty clear that GGG and I have been playing completely different games, I guess. It didn't start that way, but moved that way as time went on. More power, more combos, more fast-fast-fast, more speedrunning.

It’s as though someone may have finally realized that they have the opportunity to tune things multiple times a year and can take their time to dial poo poo in rather than swing wildly around like an angry anthropomorphic pendulum on bath salts What's so special about bath salts?

At this point, just....embrace the crafting machine they themselves put in, put EVERYTHING in there, and the drops/shops are for bases and currency? I don't know. I never get anywhere, and leagues are a pain in the neck by default(I'm slow and re-doing everything from scratch is painful) so I'm always lost. Barely get to maps, never get the max resists that are required, never get the life, never get anything.... Bah. Old man not good enough noob suck. I'm tired.

Depends where it is. I keep running Summoners, which means by default trying to get to the summon stuff I get a lot of Str, so I tended to take it as a gem. Any Witch or Templar might.
