I'm pretty clueless about the new release. I've played PoE in the past and it's pretty nice especially for f2p game.

However can you outline what 3.0 includes. Does it replace the default campaign with something completely new or does it only extend the existing campaign end game (i.e. adding more chapters to the end and stuff like that)? Also does it revise the graphics somehow?

That said, it's one of the better ARPGs I've played. It's kind of annoying that it falls under the usual ARPG trap of being obsessed with loot drops over everything else. That's more a genre problem than a POE problem.

The story and setting also get really old after a while, so it has poorer mileage than Diablo 2 did for me back during its heyday. As much as I dislike modern Activision, I'd be more interested in the Diablo 2 remake than playing another POE expansion.

Well yes, 3.0 is probably a much more appealing expansion for casuals and newcomers for the genre than veterans. Because first 4 acts are still the same as before and the endgame Atlas hasn't changed much either.

For players who actually enjoy the story content, this expansion is godsend.

If you're not a newcomer to Arpgs but newcomer to PoE, you won't get stonewalled. The system and the endgame requirements you need to survive are quite similar to Diablo 2.

And for people entirely new for the genre, apparently 3.0 comes with a proper tutorial.

If you haven't touched the game since launch you have a total of 7 new Acts, entirely new endgame content and several endgame bosses and side areas you've missed. So plenty to play there. Oh, and I guess theres also a Hideout which you can upgrade by doing missions you find in the wilderness, if you're into Sims-style decorating shit.

What is that one skill you wish you could make a build with but you don't know how or it's too bad?

>>386057323
You'll probably do fine. There are decent skills for you to use and 2h is fine. Just make a point of checking the potion/belt/wand vendors' second tabs and reading all the gems and trying out all the combinations that sound interesting.

Also know that AoE is like 90% of the game.

>>386058989
A tutorial won't help some idiot coming into the game with a mindset like "I wanna create a huntress" who then proceeds to spend his passives with zero planning only reading up to two nodes away max, and quitting the game an hour later when he has no damage and creating a new character is a chore to him

Do the classes even matter?

>>386059490
Yes. They decide where you start on the passive board and have ascendancies which vary greatly.

Before ascendancies were added they mattered less (but still did to some degree due to starting position)

>>386059490

First 3 acts are so easy that theres enough instant gratification there for absolute plebs to be entertained. I would imagine the very first "I keep dying against this guy wtf"-moment for them comes when they play Act 4 after mines-section, and trying out the Labyrinth.

But cmon, if the player has any experience whatsoever with any rpgs, they at least have a general grasp on what makes "good character". Parts where they most likely will start struggling and require more info is exactly how much Life you need, how to properly use support gems and the most common rookie mistake of any rpg game: trying to be good at everything instead of specializing.

>>386059743
Depends what you're leveling into.

>>386059743
poison is beyond rekt and not worth building around in 3.0

>>386058767
I know it's a huge draw for me. After burning myself out on the entire genre with probably thousands of hours of DII, this was the first one I picked up in a decade. After a lot grinding(and dying to goddamned spitter snakes and losing an hour's progress each time) in the highest difficulty, I decided to shelve the game and haven't tried it again since. Didn't help that the builds I cooked up all sucked, being more or less attempts at recreating the melee things I used to do in DII which don't work at all in a game where you AoE from a distance or you fuck off. Not having to do the same shit three times over will be a lot more appealing for making a new attempt where I try to go full magic whore.

Then don't map pointlessly, fill this map by completing maps, reach the center, beat the four tough bosses and then kill The Shaper. Extra points if you do it with your own home-cooked build. Extra extra points if you do it in SSF HC.

My first shock was when I tried to do the D2 traditional Corpse Explosion Necromancer on PoE, only to realize Corpse Explosion fucking sucks in PoE. But Melee-range is not a problem anymore, you just have to build a shit-ton of health or ES. Like with 4000 life by lvl 70 you can still do most things relatively safely with ranged build, but with melee you have to be 5000+ to survive those one-hit kills, and abuse the hell out of Fortify.

Those are all D3 plebs so they don't matter. Granted having a robust tutorial system would be good to have in the game given how all the extra content you can find even early on at this point might be overwhelming as fuck for a new player who has never played an arpg game before.

Look up a list of skills including new ones. Find one that you think looks cool in videos. Look up guides for those on the poe forum and follow them. Try to understand why the guy who made the guide is doing things the way he does so you can learn how to soon make your own decisions.

>>386060186
srs is still the same as it is it gota 15% damage nerf accross the board which you dont even notice in the beta.
baron is a unique helmet that adds your strength to your minions. aka they get more life and melee phys dmg. you also get +1 zombies for each 300 str you have and at 1k str 2% of the damge your minions deal is leached as your life.
this makes srs and zombies immensely tanky. not only that you get minion instability for when srs expire or manage to die which deals huge ammounts of damage in its own right and then the chaos degen based on minion life from necromancer ascendancy.

als0 srs is back to 20 summons at most but obviously damage has been ramped up to compensate.

You can respec.

If you need to make major adjustments though you'll probably have to trade some of your orbs for orbs of regret. 1 orb = 1 respec point

the only 'useless' class is scion because it has only one ascendancy which just happens to be shit. every other class is viable and good at something.
and with 3.0 they are rolling out some pretty huge buffs to the scion ascendancy, so it will be less bad.

its a very niche ascendancy and you have to know what you're doing to make a good working build with it. i once read about some hierophant spellcaster who combined all the mana and ES bonuses with mind over matter and eldrich battery to gain practically infinite manashield which allowed him to reserve all his mana with auras but still spam skills like crazy, all without the hassle of blood magic.

still, its pretty specific. better go with inquisitor if you want to make a templar spellcaster.

They're much harder to gear because you need chaos res to not die instantly to any boss that deals chaos damage.

FROST BLADE RAIDER STARTER BUILD
I am very creative, my mom told me so.

Are there any common builds Scion is actually best at? I saw a Kinetic blast build that looked pretty cool taking advantage of her extra projectile node and another node I forget now but most of the time I get the impression everything she can do another class does better.

>>386064841
When Ascendancies first dropped the buffs you got for having fortify were stronger and it was before everyone had fortify on their movement skill so the permanent fortify seemed more useful. Since then I've used it for Dominating Blow but I recognise that's probably not optimal.

Thematically, it was supposed to be a "tank" build, which would draw agro (hence, the taunting/intimidating talents) and increase morale (better aura effects, his exclusive aura). Essentially, a champion.

But since GGG has made bosses immune to intimidation and taunting, it falls flat. The only good aspect of it is having fortify even if you're a spellcaster, or ranged. Also, having permanent onslaught if you equip a Perseverance belt.

end game, i have no idea
early game, you can get 90% skill effect duration by level 18
lets you have full 20 SRS up at once, skeletons with 38 second duration (add spell totem for ez spam and less mana cost, and the totem lasts 15.2 seconds)
basically every skill with the duration tag is more fun with 90% increased nodes. vaal skills especially. note this will make lightning warp completely useless, just about.

Why the fuck would anybody give the slightest shit about this update?

>>386055641
Is the passive grid still an incomprehensible mess? Is bartering still the only form of currency forcing you to keep hundreds of different tokens around?

I swear I've tried to get into PoE a half-dozen different times and it's extremely hard to wrap my brain around it beyond...

And HP drop is unavoidable. The whole point of Minotaur is to oneshot you. If you are not one shot, you win

is every build nowadays reliant on finding some broken unique?

100% false. Japs own pcs they're just not gaymen pcs. They're generally pre-built semi-decent cheapo machines used for Jap mmos and eroge

I haven't played Occ in a while, so I was thinking something similar to >>386061064

>life + mom inquis doomfletch tornado shot or lightning arrow + barrage or shrapnel shot + barrage

Sounds fun, I didn't play any bow builds last league.

The best ice themed build is?..

>>386075161
Use unique because they are cheaper than rare. Most expensive items are always rare.

or maybe it's just the skill system in PoE in general that doesn't allow for anything fun because it needs to be flexible for matching skill gems with each other.

I know SRS is a relatively cheap build for startup, but how much does Baron cost?

>>386072836
oh but i will
90% phys to cold with new ice bite sounds fun

>>386076808
It shouldn't be expensive normally but fucking everyone is going to be running baron SRS so prices are going to get inflated a bit.

>>386076808
too much
also totally unnecessary for currency farming

Spark Inquisitor. I'm not even thinking about vaal spark. I've been testing it on beta, it has a very fast clear speed with this jewel.

es is gone, but I'm managing 190% life or so off the passive tree.

What good game design.

What's a build that isn't just 1 damage spell and 1 movement spell

>>386077394
srs probably.

>>386078771
Start as witch and go the left.

>>386079196
So I'm not automatically fucked if I try that? I can go left and if I pick nodes well I can still be viable?

energy shield or life?
last time I played ES was like super overpowered, but I heard it was nerfed some time ago

>>386058632
That whipped cream in a can right on the desk always gets me. What a mentally ill piece of shit boogie is.

>>386070709
I have tried so hard to make this build work. I honestly wish GGG would either buff this somehow or just remove it so I can be free from this obsession.

>>386060515
All games in this genre tend to have powerful builds that build around one skill. You can make a build that doesn't do this if you chose. It won't be top tier but it should be able to clear everything.

>>386062637
I am going Storm blast for the newness.

>>386072836
While I like the idea of movement builds, I never enjoy them.

>>386077717
How is it against bosses? I have always wanted to make a spark build but hated the idea of vaal spark.

>>386079107
Summon builds can utilize a couple of summon spells. Some elemental builds use supporting skills to help spread debuffs. You can make your own build, but I wouldn't focus on more than 2-3 different attack spells if you want to do endgame.

>>386079403
I haven't followed beta too much, but people were complaining about the nerf to ES.

Cyclone is the only spell in the game that matters

>>386079308
Ofc you can, if you aren't brain dead literally everything can be made viable in this game

>>386079403
ES is pretty shit right now. Pretty much ever source of it got nerfed. Still not completely dead though.

Does the gear still all look like shit? That was my biggest problem with this game. I want some satisfying visual progression as well as statistical progression

>>386080474
pay to look pretty poorfag

How much avg. DPS and inc. life should I reach in path of building from skill tree alone for a build to be viable?

For reference, I'm reaching 50k dps and 200% inc life from tree alone. Is that enough?

>>386080790
Not interested. Not about money, but buying visuals in an ARPG is just missing the point

No this guy is right, you should look cooler and cooler as you get more and more gear. In a perfect world the cosmetics should be just unique items in PoE, but obviously i understand the payment model they use.

>>386080474
Gear looks a little less shitty once you are in the 30s. The majority of stuff does look ugly, however with uniques and high tier armor you can look pretty okay.

Unfortunately the best looking stuff is paid for with cash. I hate that it is this way, but I can live with how my guy looks without paid skins.

>>386082056
It's not a dress up game. I'm not knocking games that are like that, it can be quite fun, but it's just not what poe is.

>>386083720
Yeah but it could be, and it would be better if it was.

>>386055641
after you try the builds you thought of and a few of the prebuilts you start to understand that the game will ALWAYS revolve around optimal prebuilts and boring obligatory stats.

>>386083809
Would it though? The armor isn't really going to be all that noticeable while thrashing though all the monsters.

>>386085207
Of course it would, its a visual representation of your progress and lets you feel more attached to your character if he looks unique to all the other witches.
