what the fuck are TIERS

>>125880539
the only decent thing I dont get from your build is 15% radius of effect, not a big deal, not enough to justify going that way (and you can get contagion quality) the skill duration nodes are 2 points away from mine. at all the other aspects, my build is superior. simple as that. is your build a good and decent cheap version? sure, never said otherwise. is my build more expensive? of course. but its better, and thats the only point I was arguing the entire time. more damage, more survability. an irrefutable fact. so bad you still cant admit it though

st for touch of god skill gem

are premium tabs worth the extra buck? or should I just get regular tabs?

>>125881741
regular if you are not autistic

>>125881741
It's a QoL thing. It can be handy, but if you have less than 15 tabs I wouldn't worry about it.

i've forgotten how to level

>>125884259

there isnt any difference in difficulty, but if you die in hardcore your character is moved to softcore as opposed to just losing exp

If youre build is shit you still wont progress to end game even in softcore because constant deaths wont allow you to get past like lvl 75, if its even good enough to run maps in the first place, which are as hard on both leagues

what's the best item to spend Orb of chance if was trying to make a profit?

>>125884353
Hey, thanks anon. Appreciate it.

>>125884498
It should be mentioned that if you die in Challenge League hardcore you're moved to permanent Standard and not the corresponding Challenge League softcore, so you can't just see how far you can go in the HC League and keep playing the character in Softcore once you die, unless you want the permanent Standard economy.

Just like ggg intended, all the fun in trading, mate.

So is the standard economy actually shit, or is currency just worth less because of various changes to game mechanics over the past couple of years that have made currency worth less because its easier to get?

for example, master exchange rates, more unique drops, strongboxes spewing out currency, ect

are the economies still weird in default leagues?

>>125887470
Yes and they always will be.

>>125887238
The economy is inflated, but that doesn't really matter unless you're saving up to buy original mirror-tier gear to host mirroring services on that item yourself. Items are usually cheaper than you'd expect them to be until you get to the 20 exalt range and higher. Then it goes full retard. It wouldn't affect you if you play temp leagues because gear in the 20 exalt range is a hell of a lot better than what you'd find in these temp leagues for the same price.
It's actually a hell of a lot easier to get into than the temp leagues because of the abundance of above average items on the market. On the other hand, it's also difficult to get going as a new player by selling your drops because, well, they're going to be worthless for the most part.

>>125887334
what's the appeal of trap vs self cast anyways? aren't you just wasting a gem slot to be limited to 3 casts instead of spamming it?

is it just because you avoid reflect?

They really should do something about stackable currency. Four tabs just isn't enough for all of the fusings, chaos, exalts, alchs, divines, and currency in general that you collect over the course of a temp league. In the past, I was forced to create additional characters to be used as mules for my currency. It's pretty stupid.

>>125890741
buy tabs goy

>>125890741
yeah eventually i make a 2nd tab for jews, chroms, scrolls, armours and whets

>>125890646
how? you're wasting 1 gem just to make the skill a trap, then another gem slot to make it throw 3 traps instead of one, and that even reduces the damage

Wouldn't 2 gem slots with something that increases the damage right away would be more damage in the end? and use restrictions besides your mana, which traps use anyway.

>>125888216

If you think that Hardcore League is hardcore think again. When your char dies on HC, your stash/masters/HO/challenges completed remain. IF you were to play an actual hardcore league, or atleast if it was actualy hardcore, all of your shit would get deleted the moment you press exit/start in town buttons.

You are not playing anything hardcore, scrub.

>>125891275
It's not like hardcore in d2 deleted your mules or your fg either.

>>125890983
trap gives more damage, multitraps mostly negate that damage, you still get 3 casts of the spell with no cast speed investment before you can get echo.
Additionally you can get deerstalkers for a cheap and early 5 link.

>>125890983
It's mostly about insane burst damage that can clear a pack with one cast so you can move on instantly

Plus since bladefall overlaps it does decent singletarget as well.

>>125892307
Until you grab a death's harp. You can pick up a pair of Wake of Destruction boots at 28.
The added damage on Sadima's touch gloves should make leveling a bit easier as well.
A three link added light/cold, LMP, ice shot when paired with two elrion rings will make leveling a breeze.

like 30k.

Using BF - Conc - Controlled Destruction - Added Fire - Echo

I really think conc is the way to go. Its still big enough if you have templar and witch aoe nodes to hit a pack in maps so.

I have like some phys nodes at the start of Shadow and then elemental dominion in witch and thats it.

5.8k HP @ 80

>>125892681

not him but playing sc needs less patience and you can do it with a yolo attitude that would quickly penalize you in hc

you can test setups and approaches to a build nearly risk-free as well (the worse that can happen is you die, so you save those test for when you are freshly leveled)

>>125893091
How are you liking the skill? Is it fun? What are your thoughts on the poison build people have been talking about the past few threads? Better or worse than what you're running right now? Would you mind dropping your tree in the thread?

>>125893091
I find faster casting much better than conc, though I still swap it in for bosses to squeeze out as much dps as I can
26k tooltip without conc, 31k without

>>125893397
Not that anon but there one big advantage of offloading your extra damage on poison dot is that you can then run 1 or 2 blasphemy curses, and aa or some other defensive aura. this can make you hella tanky

>>125893397
poeurl.com/uxO

I can't really comment on the poison build because I haven't seen it, do you have it? But my build is really close to the poison cluster near Shadow and I am leveling poison and rapid decay in my offhands and will try some shit out.

>>125893632
You only get 5k damage from conc? I lose like 10k.

>>125893810
What do you mean offloading your extra damage on poison? Do you mean because elements don't matter you can use tanky auras instead of things like hatred?

>>125893054
Anyone?

>>125894672
I have 20k without conc or faster casting, 26k with faster casting and 31k with conc
don't think losing 40% aoe is worth it for just 5k dps

>>125894672
>Do you mean because elements don't matter you can use tanky auras instead of things like hatred?

only phys and chaos adds to the dot that deals 60% of the hit over 2 seconds with 3 passives worth of investment and the gem. and that becomes your main source of damage. vulnerability can become your offensive curse, if you want to use one. and enfeeble is just great

i mean why even play this over daiblo 3? all the advantages of a game like this turned out to be massive negatives that the community hates. diablo 3 looks and runs better at this point and doesn't delude you into thinking there's something more there when there really isn't. and at least you can play in a public group if you don't want to forever alone mode the entire time. i'd also say their network method is superior. diablo 3's grift/leaderboard is a better competitive meta than watching streamers and rmters win every league.

i mean i'm all for supporting our bros living the dream but poe has stagnated and even regressed. they caved into the casual wants and all the casuals want is for the game to be more like d3. poe is just a crappier version of d3 with a convoluted skill system and downgraded everything else.

d3 is poe's direct competition. ggg needs to start acting like it. poe was good because it offered something different but with every update it just feels like diablo 3: only worse

i mean d3 isn't all that great by any means but it's pretty enjoyable for a few weeks every reset. poe is getting worse and worse every reset and i wonder if anybody but newfags even truly enjoy it at all anymore. people honestly just seem like they're having a better time playing d3. i sense a ton of boredom in the streamers when they're playing poe now. it's not longer exciting, they're seeing it for what it is. the devs didn't capitalize on what poe could have been good at.

>>125898708

100x better than shitty temp leagues though with mass bots and RMTrs hoarding all the exalts.

It's not even top players that are the problem they no life they don't need bots. It's the people using like 50 bots at once to earn big on rmting.

Problem is much smaller on hardcore temp though with bots I thought.

>>125899162
the mechanics in d3 are a joke but that's the point, they mechanics in poe are also a joke. 150% life minimum in every build and just grab the corresponding nodes to the main skill you will be spamming.

d3 has paragon points which is the same thing only there's no hard cap on them so you can keep pushing all season long. once somebody hits 100 in poe it's essentially over. for your inner or outer autist a d3 season never really has to end. you can keep pushing and pushing and maybe you get the perfect mob spawn and top the leaderboards. you don't have to worry about the other guy rmting or streamer handout his way to victory. you can actually compete, sorta.

the story? neither game has a good story, diablo 2 shits on both of them. diablo 2's fits the game pacing perfectly, stays out of the way and is high quality. poe story is some annoying factoid getting in your way by accidentally being clicked on. their lore is possibly the worst implementation in the history of a video game. diablo 3's lore books were better even i mean cmon

>no good trade
this needs to be fixed and is on the list

>no loot tension
I FUCKING HATE THIS, diablo 3 always had me waiting for that SOJ or game breaking kike item but there is... nothing. Maybe the rare Kaom's or Mjollner or something but who cares they are disposible items and not build makers and game breakers

>no good pvp

>no good builds all cookie cutter shit

>shitty animations and clunky gameplay

>runs like shit on top tier system in groups
I am on a PC from 2010 and everything is maxed fine (760 though). The only thing that pisses me off is the horrible ram utilization making it so I can't run a VM as everything is packed into RAM.

>6 player limit but nobody even groups up
Yeah, they need to REALLY encourage pub grouping some how, it made the game a lot of fun in the past years. Banning faggots from posting sales shit in the LFG tab would help

>>125899673
>At lower levels yes
speeding up the shitty animations doesn't make them any better. there's also the inherent cast delay on skills from cast time that makes some skills literally shit to use and no animation cancelling. animation cancelling in d3 alone is better than everything in poe. the only thing poe has to compare to is flameblast.

>I am on a PC from 2010 and everything is maxed fine (760 though
you just said you don't group retard. the whole point is many people enjoyed grouping in diablo 2 and diablo 3 and grouping in this game is the worst ever. they just try and FOCE you to group with the stupid fucking retarded master missions that nobody enjoys because the game runs like ass in groups and then you have to group to max them in a reasonable period of time before all the autists spam them and get a major edge in master crafting.

>>125899137
yes of course
>>125899162
the gameplay mechanics are what D3 has above PoE. The combat is so much more fluid and engaging than PoE. This was because of desync for a while but now that's gone they just need to add more movement skills like WB
>>125899593
>once somebody hits 100 in poe it's essentially over
do you realize how long it takes to hit 100? And paragon is retarded as fuck, there's no sense of growth when you get +10 health or .05% crit chance
There are no fucking builds in D3. No reason to make different Barbs or WD or whatever

>>125899593

in poe gearing up is more interesting

finding ways to sustain your playstyle, skill interactions etc. in d3 all that feels much more "predesigned", which may be better for some tastes

the trade-free aspect of d3 is probably what i like the most of it. and thats why i play in between temp leagues or whenever im bored of poe

I think this game would be so much better if they introduced mounts

it works in a weird way, the mobs have to hit you with melee hits to apply the buff

>do you realize how long it takes to hit 100?
yes it has taken about three weeks every single league ergo no time at all and unlike d3 where you never stop pushing for number 1 once somebody hits 100 in poe they won the race to the top. there's no end to the race to the top in d3 you could get the right mob spawn or find the perfect item and have the perfect run and push to the highest grift since grift levels are infinite.

>>125900034
>in poe gearing up is more interesting
no it isn't because it's all based around trade and trade is fucking garbage in this game. you have to use 3rd party tools to trade in order to plan a build based around certain items. using shitty builds that work with self found rares is what most players who play the game wind up doing because it's unreasonable to expect an average player to use 3rd party tools to obtain the items they need. trade chat is a fucking joke. indexers that are not built into the game should not be a requirement.

it's also nice that i can earn everything in game in d3 unlike poe where you always gotta wonder if they were going to make an mtx an artwork for the game but decided to scrap it and sell it to you as a cosmetic instead. i can complete a transmogrify set in d3 just by playing it's a really good system.

>>125900545
d3 is a dead game though, no one cares. The player base is abysmal.

>>125900518

everyone is on the ptr right now since a new season is coming and then everyone will be playing the new season. you will know when the game is a top game on twitch again as it is with every ladder reset. poe is barely even cracking the top games anymore nobody can stand watching it because it's so fucking boring.

No trading, right? what makes it a better game?

>>125900545
>no it isn't because it's all based around trade

the thing is, if you can manage your way around trade and learn how to make enough money to at least buy your own shit; then the trade issue is solved

if you cant, then you really shouldnt be playing poe

and about the "earning things in game", kek. after you pay $40 for d3, they better not add mtx

>what makes it a better game?

compared to poe? SOLELY the lack of trading.

thing is, the more youve played poe, and bothered to learn its mechanics, the less you will like d3, how simplistic it all feels, how the game basically tells you what skill interactions to use, etc

if you are the kind of poe player that needs to be feed builds and ask how to link skills even when you see the screenies, then yeah D3 may be for you

but hey, with Ascencion poe may be headed that way

They didn't fix everything. Tons wrong with the game still but it's absurdly better than the original game. Once you beat story mode you never have to again. You play in adventure mode which is essentially some fucking beautiful tilesets randomly spawning with random mobs. You can push the difficulty from nomal -> all the way to torment 10 to increase the difficulty, mob density and drops. Eventually you start getting keys for greater rifts which is a competitive mode where no items drop except off the rift guardian at the end. You try and complete the greater rift before time runs out and you get a reward of a legendary gem and an npc that upgrades your gems and some items.

I'm honestly kinda a noob to it all so somebody else probably explains it all better. Suffice to say the end game is nothing like the original D3 which was farming act 3 over again.

>>125901035
>, if you can manage your way around trade and learn how to make enough money to at least buy your own shit; then the trade issue is solved
no, you can not. it is NOT REASONABLE TO EXPECT THE AVERAGE PLAYER TO HAVE TO USE THIRD PARTY TOOLS TO TRADE. You are a GGG apologist, nothing more. Trade is fucking garbage in this game. The average player will never experience the joys of creating a build based around unique items because trade is complete and utter fucking shit in poe and the odds of planning your build around an item and finding them is almost none. And nobody likes starting over again just to use a fucking item.

>>125901278

And they've continued their tradition of refusing to test anything, destroy builds that are popular just because, and ignore builds that have been destroyed for years

They talked about it before bloodlines, saying they would introduce a sort of public stash tab for trading a league or two after the awakening. You list the items you want to sell on the public page, and you can sort through offers via tabs at the top. I hope to hell they've improved on that idea over the past year, but honestly anything would be better than what we have right now.

Vaal spark to 100 all day erryday.

Mapping being gated behind RNG is stupid. I ran today out of tier 9 maps and fell all the way back to tier 5 maps. I alch everything and chisel 9+ maps.

>>125902906
Currency would become supreme. Uniques would lose more value as its even more convenient to trade them. To my surprise I could obtain a soul taker for 60c spamming trade chat hard enough while none was listed on poe.trade (and they all were 2ex+ at that time, which was 90c+ on hardcore). ]

I still prefer such a system over poe.trade because there is nothing more annoying than 3 weeks into the league messaging 10 people off which 8 are afk / offline 1 is retarded (wants you to pay in pure scouring/ chaos / fusings / exalted orbs, wants you to pay much more than listed, makes you wait insane times and then logging off without trading) and 1 apparently doesn't want to sell his item

>>125903865
Anything you can roll with a soul taker this patch? Mana's not much of an issue, and the base damage on ST was gutted a while back. Dominating blow is still bugged with bloodlines, and it was nerfed just this patch to boot.
I ran it as an offhand in a crit groundslam build a while back. Other than running it as an offhand is there any practical uses for the old item?

>>125903820
Incinerate was retarded though.

>>125904407

The point isn't just how long it takes you fucking moron it's both that it only takes three weeks AND that it's essentially over you can no longer be number one. In D3, you can become number one at any point in the season because there's no hard cap, it's all about continuously pushing to a higher Grift level. It doesn't matter how long it takes at all whereas in PoE it ABSOLUTELY matters how long it takes because whoever takes the least time wins.

>Or were you just talking out of your ass? Why not go back to /d3g/? Oh wait it's not there

I'm running ice crash with soul taker.

It gives me a link more, 22 mana at 0.30 attacks per second is way too much for me to sustain, mana is still an issue on cyclone and ice crash if you want to 6 link it.

I have it in a bringer of rain and I thought ''hmm might as well switch my build to axes for a while seeing there are only 4 weapons above 300 dps up''.

It gets outclassed though by 340 + dps weapons in my build but they are far more expensive. So soul taker is a good in between step.

I'm running ice crash in a bringer of rain so I have faster attacks ,phys damage, blind. Then for the other links I have cold penetration, weapon elemental damage and fortify which you can switch for added fire, which you can switch for increased AoE if you want to farm lower level areas faster (and lagg more).

I have a lot of attack speed I'm running it iron reflexes and went into the shadow and ranger tree. It's why mana is an actual issue and my build is unplayable without blood magic or a soul taker.

The reason why I went into so much attack speed is that I chill / stun quite a bit with the initial hit. Almost nothing hits me which is really nice.

I have at the moment 24.5k tooltip with fortify and cold penetration + hatred and herald of ash on, 33.9k with bloodrage and frenzy charges. I can still get 2 jewels for some more damage that will likely put me at 38-39k or so. I don't use power charges. I think its best to use enfeeble since I kill everything fast enough anyway.

I also have 47% block and 13k armor unflasked. I can switch around for grace and jade + iron flask if I need a lot of armor but 13k is enough for what I've done so far elemental damage is far scarier atm for my build, it only has 5.6k hp though which is low imo, I lack hp from talisman and shield (1700 evasion one), so normally you would have 6.2k hp using what I'm doing.

Start with no filter, and then you find yourself thinking "I wish I didn't need to see all these fucking act 2 normal bases" filter them out. When you find yourself thinking "it'd be nice if it was easier to see some specific ilevel bases" then make them more visible.

Then later on when you're thinking "my filter is a fucking mess" rewrite it once you know what you're doing.

I'm trying to mimic the popular Tornado Build, hoping to use it as a backbone for something more personal later.

I'm also having a tough time finding shit to get my resistances stacked up, I'm barely able to get around 40% on all of the basic three on merciless.

What should I do? Should I try crafting gear that has trip resistances, or find some regrets to get over to the Sion's Constitution circle?

>>125923643
im a vagan sorry

So I'm playing arc right now at level 79 but I'm having trouble with reflect rares even with topaz flask up. Is the 0.2% leech from doryani's enough or should I get a life leech gem.

Currently at 15k dps + 35% penetration

>>125922378
i use it on W

>>125922459
try to get 2 or 3 resist on boots, armor and helm

at least 1 resist on gloves. run a purity of elements if needed. quiver can have resist too but its hard to find a decent one that has also good attack stats.

use whatever currency you find to buy upgrades. lots of basic leveling gear can be bought with fuses, and those you can trade up in npcs

>>125924004
lmfao i have 20k bladefall @ lvl60 get gud

>>125924491
Thanks m8

>>125924004
reflect is on the 11-15% magnitude iirc. so .2 leech probably wont be enough unless you have leech rate increase somewhere

imo you should curse the reflect mobs with enfeeble and run a purity of lightining. that will almost assuredly make reflect livable

>>125924004

>15k dps plus penetration

man arc cucks really get the shit end of the stick.

serves them right for following shittyD

>>125924523
15k + 35% is 20k plus the shock damage so its basically a 30k while off screening shit with its 7 bounces. I'm finding the build very fun

>>125924870
Guess i'll buy a 5 link armour to use life leech, can't really run another aura (AA, Wrath and HoT).

if you dont like acro dont take that cluster, and use a shield

>>125931232
Compare that wheel to other damage nodes that apply to spells on the tree. (25+12+12+12+10)/5 = 14%/node.

As physical you've got the shadow start nodes at around 11%/node and Master of Force at 10%/node.
As spell damage you've got 12.5/node at the witch start and 11 or 12/node at templar start. Scion has some as well but lol they're fucking awful.

You can complicate it some more by factoring in distance from other things you want to pick up but they're right next to a bunch of other juicy stuff so they rate highly there too.

As for liking longevity, that runs kind of counter to how the game is designed, with temporary leagues, expensive respeccing and an ok levelling experience. You'll get stuff wrong on your first character and you'll figure it out over time, and you'll be rolling new characters at least every new temp league.

They were already dead.

You know, my least favorite part about both PoE and Diablo 1/2/3 is that there is no way that any of the towns could actually survive. They have no agriculture, their fields are perpetually fucked, and they do not appear to have any silos or means of storing food.

If they have basements, the basements are usually fucked too.

Does it ever bother you wondering how the fuck the people in any of these places actually get food? I mean, maybe in Act 1 of PoE they could fish, but Act 2 has no viable food production method and Act 3 is like a fucking desert.

>>125933213
I have paid little to no attention to the story, but aren't they sent there to die anyways?

Considering the amount of monsters out there I'm sure there's some way to sustain living by hunting monsters and wild animals, since those evil creatures must hace some way of sustain their living as well.

>>125933213
Gruest and Silk talk about hunting. I think there are some koi in Highgate.

>>125933213
They eat rhoas, fish, goatmen, chaos snakes, bugs, monkeys, etc.

I bet they have lots of coastal vegetables and fruits around too, just think about this way, there's a shitload of monsters and they have to eat too, so there's a lot of food around.

>>125933213
i think the point is that whatever few people are left barely get by to survive

Piety was originally a whore. She used her whore money to buy whorish goods. After finding an ancient thaumaturgy artifact, she was able to find a clue to the power of the vaal civilizations. After whoring herself further for funds to continue her research she figured it out.
She realized she needed material to experiment with; that she needed people to sacrifice. So she went to the mutha fuckin pope himself and said, yo, fuccboi, I can allow you to ascend to godhood. Just provide me with soldiers and people to experiment on.
So then the pope was like, oh shit dawg, I can be all immortal n' shit. Maybe daddy would finally be proud of me. So he started a zero tolerance policy. The criminals were sent to exile in New Zealand, shipped express to Piety to slutify them with magic and infuse them with the power of gems n' shit.
All those humanoid enemies? They're people from the mainland - they're failed experiments.
Oh, and Dominus turns into a fluke worm because you interupt the ritual of his ascendancy, causing it to fail.

I'm looking at budget Mjölner builds right now, which use mjölner/romiras/daressos and no volls devo.

My question is: I have an arc witch that can clear up to t7, should i invest the 3 ex i have into the witch or is the mjölner build straight up better for the content later on?

I haven't played since the release of the Scion

So I started to read this threads to catch up on info, and I'm kinda confused with the people saying the game's difficulty decreases as you progress through normal>cruel>merciless.

Back then from normal to cruel the challenge was significant, people had to hire higher levels to kill Piety and shit. And then the jump from cruel to merciless was pretty brutal if you didn't stack enough resistances specially chaos.

So has anything changed and now people faceroll to 80ish+, or it's jsut that you're all super pros and the game isn't challenging anymore but it's close to the state it was a few years ago?

>when people refuse to leave your hideout after a trade

so this is what rape feels like...

>>125935995
right now its easier to get any build going with its basic supports and so to faceroll storyline content once your attack skill is in a 4L

>>125935807
That tree is total ass for Mjolner what the hell.
Not even remotely high enough stats

>>125935995
The boss fights that were intimidating before are not so intimidating anymore. Of course there are new boss fights in act 4 that are relatively tough. I think the resistances thing has sorted itself out since there's more on the tree and there's an act and a bit in which to get your resists sorted out.

I think it'd be nice to have some of the fear back in going to the next difficulty to make the levelling process more engaging.
