Cory in the Blouse posted:There's nothing inherently bad about dual wielding, but it splits your damage budget between 2 items. If you are using a shield, about the worst you can do is a lioneye's. If you are going to be crit at all, you might want to instead look into a lycosidae Some skills like sunder only use your main hand weapon which frees up your offhand for a stat stick like tempestuous steel or prismatic eclipse. Dual wielding gives you 10% more aspd, 15% block, and 20% more attack physical damage. Additionally you can game the system by using an offhand stat stick that can't be used with your attack skill, like a sword for dual wield EQ. It won't be used then, so you gain the dw bonuses while only having to buy one weapon.

Unlucky7 posted:Forgive me if this sounds rude, but using a skill that only uses the main hand while DW sounds non optimal at best. Then again, so are a lot of things that are fun It's much easier to get block with dw than with 2h due to the base 15% and the dual wield aspect node near ranger's part of the tree. Additionally, there's some dw specific nodes which are good for some builds, and you have the opportunity to go for something like a varunastra as well. Overall dw is in between 1h/shield and 2h, with some bonuses to attack speed which make leap slam feel better. Using one of the two weapons is good as well since you can use one really good weapon and a buffing item. Alternately you can use a shield, but if you are a gladiator or just want some more offense, dw is potent

. My question is: does the benefits of DW outweigh what a good 2H weapon could do with those types of skills?

You can't really gently caress up your tree irrevocably. All you can do is take inefficient paths to things or not take enough life. Part of the game is planning your pathing to make both leveling and endgame playing comfortable.

If you're a ranger you're absolutely able to play through the first few acts with a tiny life pool, at least if you're a ranged one Just get heart of oak, herbalist, and some random other life nodes

Your weapons and abilities have a base crit chance which is enhanced by your increased mods added together times your more mods individually.

pokchu posted:i would be 100% okay with a d3 rift-esque system that allowed me to just open a level appropriate random zone and let me murder stuff instead of having to (literally) just speed through the acts to get to the end this, the one thing I dislike about the game is that they try to keep the level 100 race competitive to watch, but it's also a major part of their marketing strategy and about the game's community itself. I think that removing some of the more hardcore aspects would make the game too much like d3, and while d3 isn't all bad, making your game more like the game of a super rich competitor probably isnt a good idea

Sloober posted:This reminds me a great deal of the same arguments the permadeath players made about reducing the death exp penalty; and they can easily make leagues for whatever kind of race they want to make Because they have a lot of things to worry about. The Standard economy for example, since (as far as I've read) half the game's population plays Standard very regularly. Streamers, since they have to offer them an exciting competition to base their first few days of streaming a new league around. Newbies, who are probably not extremely well-versed in the game's balance and what makes a good build. Consider this: there's a massive variance between a good build and a bad build in PoE, but the devs want both to be able to play their game, or at least progress in some way. Level scaling would either make the game a complete snoozefest for the better half of the playerbase, or it'd make the game unplayably hard for the more casual/less experienced half. The solution is to make every build balanced of course, but that also most likely means removing gimmicks and player choice in general, like in diablo the third.

Sloober posted:You're probably right but i get annoyed when people use the 'hardcore' excuse, because it was often used as a reasoning against anything that made it even slightly more player friendly. I'm not a hardcore player, but I think it's useful to have a few things to really set your game apart from others of the same genre, and the incredibly rich competitive gameplay this game offers really is something else.

Jazerus posted:the life and crit strike. the physical damage is also a good roll but amulets roll low on that in general. that is the highest possible natural roll for crit strike on an amulet and the life could only be 18 higher. physical damage rolls on amulets are really loving desired for doomfletch builds, which also go crit, lmfao

Deformed Church posted:I'm not really sure where left to take my build, could anyone offer a little advice? Cyclone seems to be generally fairly well regarded, if not top tier, and I feel like I'm starting to peak before I even hit tier 10 maps, so I assume I've still got a ways to go - people talking about hundreds of thousands of DPS for real endgame stuff and I'm stuck on a tenth of that sort of figure, you know? can't you get a cheap 6L coronal maul and craft that?

Kaoms Roots make you immune to freeze and temporal chains as well, they're good. I don't know why you're planning this though. Cool plan, that disfavor is going to cost you 350c, 6-linking it in this economy will likely cost you 750 more chaos. Double that and add 100c for G's Pelt. Just grab a cheap 6L maul and craft it a little.

Dahbadu posted:Exactly -- basically Roots are my big gently caress you to Temporal Chains maps. Yeah, I'll probably go budget. The Disfavor and Pelt aren't build enabling, so I really don't need them. theres a gem specially made for that called rapid decay, less duration doesn't affect bleed caused by something.

Bloodly posted: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? 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

Im just showing that you can get to an endgame capable build with some pretty valuable items even if you die a hundred times before because you're bad. I'm not great at this game and made a ton of mistakes, but if you keep playing you'll eventually get there, it's actually really hard to hit a complete brick wall.

the whole idea of ssf is that you build up your own stash of items without trading, why the gently caress would you want to turn it into farming mode for non-ssf characters just buy a bisco's collar and play warchief chieftain

GGG just has to give API users the ability to filter out AFK people more easily, that alone would solve a lot of issues. Not much you can do against price fixing though unless you somehow get the API to tell you who traded what item to who and for what

My newbie friends must all be geniuses I guess Fyi, you can play poe and progress just fine without doing everything perfectly right from the start. In fact, that allows you to gradually get better, which gives you that sense of progression more involved than clearing torment 10 instead of 9 Orange DeviI fucked around with this message at 06:14 on Aug 22, 2017 |

That someone can be Google and like two minutes of your time though. There's guides for everything. The game now explains maps, support gems, links and sockets, and as long as you can do 1% damage before dying its impossible to hit an actual brick wall while on softcore. It's a game you can get better at in a hundred different ways and that's good
