Neither has to do with builds, both of it has to do with play style and getting good.

If softcucks manage atziri runs in the 60s hc poops can manage it as well, its about how well you play. Layering more defences only broadens the margin of error you can make. IF you play well and don't fuck up and yolo things, you are fine with 160% hp.

As we have seen not even 10k+ ES with max lightning resist will save you from shitty situations you get yourself into.

Ofc there is strategy to hitting lvl 100 in PoE.

Being an autist who does not sleep is just part of the strategy. Not dying, being able to sustain maps, and having a build that clears fast enough are others. Playing in the right group with the right people who have the right builds, and even having a support cast are as well parts of the strategy.

Lvl all the way to 70, and sell every single rare and pick up all currency. By the time you hit 70 if you sell literally all your currency for chaos orbs, you might have enough to buy the binos. Also use the chaos recipe.

The 1-2 ex items are somewhat affordable while still being expensive. But then again that build can level rather well with bladefall trap for aoe before you get binos, or so i heard.

>>126704712

No, i do not use posion. It is just a pure physical damage trap with big AoE. One can use poison on it, but preferably you would want to slap some elemental damage, like from Hatred, in order to leave shit shattered (if you are crit). Or just use physical+poison with DoT.

The beauty of Bladefall is that it works either way. Very efficiently too.

My shitty budget tapper could do it even faster. TSC here.

Btw, i just made it kinda work actualy. Slapped Thunderfist gloves on, shoved in there Lightning Trap+Multitrap+Trap DMG+Lightning Pen... works like a charm. I think that can be usefull for amy build using lightning attacks too - shrapnel shot, LA, SA with phys to lightning...

Still cannot believe that GGG did not make 3d mesh for Thunderfist or Atziri's Step. Fucking hacks and lazy bastards.

It was sarcasm. At that damage point not much can save you except having a ridiculous hp pool. And that was 1 hit from 1 monster on the screen, any other monster hitting him would kill him.

>playing efficiently is bad mkay

You can see from his webm that if he would not use kaoms as a "stat stick" he would be dead. Sadly GGG designed their game in such a way that if you want to run the highest level content you need to rely on such items, or some other broken interactions.

>>126707642

That he uses is fun and original, what everyone else uses is lame and uses items you should not use. I bet he would have sperged out if he would have seen any of the good ways of mitigating damage (LC, that cold pot, those ele or phys dmg talismans).
>>
This game isn't fun in hardcore. There's no real ways to mitigate damage in any significant sustainable way. No matter what you do, you can almost always be 1 shot. It's not good. It's not fun. It's a waste of time and effort.

Start by explaining devs that its not okay for a small aoe skill to deal as much damage as a huge aoe skill.

Return mapping to 1.2-1.3. Return block nodes on tree to make melee viable again. 1.3 gutted melee to being unplayable. Fortify does not help at all mainly because it adds no damage at all.

>>126708905
>he fell for the downside meme

>>126708905

Fortify actually adds a nice chunk of damage, at lvl 20 its 44% phys melee dmg. Considering it not only increases melee dmg by 44% it also reduces incoming dmg by 20% its pretty damn amazing. The problem is the phys part.

If they made fortify wording just melee dmg, then it would be amazing. That is pretty much my only gripe with fortify.

- Remove Cruel/Merc, instead introduce much larger/expansive areas that would actualy mean something lore-wise and game-wise. Plenty of minor bosses with good drop-sets and one-time-one-per-character unique item drop/allocation that makes it desirable to explore the entirety of the area.

TL;DR - make area exploration ver very desirable

- Severely decrease item droprate (99% of items are garbage - gloves/armor/weapons). As a compensation for it, increase droprate of currency in order to stimulate crafting

- Improve craftting by making it possible to have affixes as good as from items that are given as rewards/drops

- More, many many more map areas and a guaranteed map atleast one map drop of same or higher level map.

- A lot more unique maps. Some, if not most can be crafted.
- A lot unique items are craftable, but require base item of specific ilevel, currency, trinket and gems
- Sarn actualy has a normal droprate of items (its a city afterall).
- Crossbows and Spears and Thrown weapon types
- Endless Ledge mode as a partial Substitute for Cruel/Merc
- Award for killing Piety: Divine orb, for Dominus: Exalted, For Malachai: a unique gem that allows two soceted support gems to infer their properties as passives. Onely one drop per char, only one allowed to be used.

- Mirror of Kalandra can be obtained by completing a specific quest (shards of the mirror have to be found on unique bosses (%chance based, 12 shards, 3 pieces of frame - frame pieces a guaranteed drop from Piety/Dominus/Malachain); and is an extremely rare drop (complete item).

- More Masters, no dailies, just continuous missions.

You are misinterpriting what i wrote.

>next to no item drops

No, there are item drops, except less useless shit, so when any item drops, it makes you think "shit, what can i do with it".

>>Increase currency droprate to where its no longer exciting

Ha. When did you get excited for a chaos orb drop? Sufficient amount of currency drop in order to facilitate crafting and barter/exchange betwee players. Ties in nicely to Masters and vendor recipes.

>>126708994
yes

Trading is absolute garbage. It's at the point were I just buy 10 ex orbs for like 40$ every 3 month league because drops are terrible in this game + haggling for trading is the most annoying thing to do. Rather work 2 hrs and don't have to be arsed anynore spending hours haggling upgrading etc.
>>
>>126711050
By making less useless shit drop you have to reduce droprates or you kill trading completely.

And yes I do still enjoy Fusing+ currency drops, having 5-10 chaos drop a map would kill any kind of enjoyment I get from those drops.

After rereading your post it really sounds like you just want to play D3. While I agree that PoE could learn a few things from D3, theres a lot more than D3 could learn from PoE.

This is my biggest gripe with this game. Unless you're a streamer or play 12 hours a day, crafting the proper way (alts>regal>exalt) is retardedly expensive. Also, getting a 6L requires a stupid amount of either luck or currency.
99% of players never experience real crafting because it's more optimal to use the currency to buy items on a shitty third party website.
Hell, in my 1k+ hours of playtime I have only dropped 3 exalts myself.
>>
>>126710290
and to elaborate on the crafting part - here's what i'm thinking would make a good incentive for using rarer currencies for crafting and would fit the game well, all that without the need to increase currency drop rates:

think darkshrines, but instead of sacrificing the item it gets a one time "meta mod", similar to what level 8 masters can do. as in you put in an item into the shrine and you can use 1 currency item on it with the "meta mod" active.
these wouldn't be as restricted as master meta mods though, so the better meta mods could be tied to higher map tiers and whatnot.

say you have a good life + dual res chest and you find a shrine which will only allow it to roll resistances. you'd be way more likely to use an exalt in this situation, because you're sure you won't get a fucking life regen or reduced attribute requirements

How do people get 20/20 gems so fast? Do they not use the recipe and just buy a shit load of GCPs? Literally everyone on the first page of the ladder has almost full quality/level gems..
>>
>>126711910
Prior to Masters I would agree with you.

Doing the Alt+Regal+Master Craft gives you a decent item that doesnt cost an arm and a leg to make. You can then toss a couple exalts into it if your feeling lucky. The alternative is to just multimod it, either through a service or yourself.

If you try to craft a weapon this way it gets a lot more expensive, but there are endgame viable uniques for all the weapon types that dont suck ass, and I believe all of them except binos are 1ex or less
>>
>>126711910

Well, you got the gist of it.

This guy >>126711272 did not.
>>
>>126712242
Yes I did, your suggestion is retarded because theres no incentive to trade if you can create good items while playing self-found.

The only thing left would be uniques, and you decided that crafting uniques would be a good idea too.

So I can only assume that the items that would be traded after these changes are top tier uniques like Skyforth, which essentially kills trading and half the game.

How does Skyforth's stun threshold work? Since it's 500% of mana does that mean you basically can't be stunned?
>>
>>126712195

Buy gcps?

Level with a offhand set of gems, and when your primary hits lvl 20 use the recipe to turn them into 1/20 and swap to the backup 20 gems, till your 1/20 gems catch up in efficiency, or even pick up quality gems and gcp them up.

Not him, but I told you that you wanted to play Diablo 3.

Its a game with no trading and frequent crafting item drops that allow you to craft legendaries, its maps drop maps at high frequency. Rifts can be seen as an endless ledge mode, and Kanais cube pretty much fulfills the Malachai reward. Bounties could also be considered the continuous master missions.

You post just screamed Diablo 3 with a PoE setting.

You're whiny because you're complaining about something that is a non-issue.

You're a shitter because you think crafting is out of reach of the average player.

You're playing the wrong game because you obviously don't like loot or trading for it and that's the entire point of the game. I don't know what game you want but it's definitely not this one.

I have never played diablo 3 to begin with, so i would not know most of the shit you have posted there.

Besides from what i have seen, D3 does not match that requirement. Inflated numbers out of ass, atrocious graphics, terrible itemisation.

Although they way you put it, it seem like i would definetely prefer a mix of PoE with some some aspects (crafting and that cube thing, which can be easily replaced by Masters) from D3. Then again, endless ledge is a dungeon type from PoE racing... so why is it an issue then? So i the end, the right one would be an improved PoE?

Dude, you make no sense whatsoever.

Say thank you to GGG for making Master crafting average (all they had to do was make better affixes available at cost of many more chaos). Even though it is not. If one wants/needs to have a good item with perfect rolls, one has to unload ungodly ammount of currency and a heap of exalts. Because it can be done, and rich, very rich players do it.

>>126715061
You can follow the conversation to get to his original post.

Whats wrong with master crafting exactly? What you said is exactly how it should be.

If youre rich enough you can make absolutely ridiculous items and perfect your character, if youre not rich you can get an alright alternative that works just fine.

Thats how video games with gear work, you go from Bad->Okay->Good->Above average->Amazing->Godly with each tier requiring more work/money to get to.
>>
>>126715459
Its easier to roll the sockets on gear.

If youve run into Vorici a few times and gotten him to level 4 you can invite him to your hideout for a bench that will give you 4 sockets for 10 Jewelers and a 4 link for 5 fusings.

In the case of a 5-L its usually easier to roll the stats by using Alterations to get Life+Resist and then regaling it and master crafting on either a second or third resist with Haku.
>>
>>126715459
I'm assuming you're still leveling? If that's the case you don't need much gems. I usually just use my main skill with 2-3 support gems depending on what I can find. Probably a single gem or two for my auras but those are easy enough to find, if needed I'll just drop a chrome or two to get a good socket. I don't bother much with the rest, until I reach act 3 merciless when I start looking for end game gear. At this point you just craft the right sockets/links on gear with great stats.

In general it's cheaper to get the right stats and then craft the right gem setup on them. But during leveling there isn't a real rule or law to it, that's something you get a feel for once you understand how much your orbs are worth. For now i'd say don't bother much with your sockets besides a few chromes or maybe a jeweler orb or two on really good leveling items.

>>126715480

>Whats wrong with master crafting exactly? What you said is exactly how it should be.

You want to say that intentionally making Master crafting "average" is how it should be?

Or the fact that vast majority of players will never see an exalt, or two in time necessary to make an upgrade or to take a shot in crafting "amazing->godly" items, before player decides to either reroll or leave.

Rich players are rich because they are either streamers or an organised bunch of no-life/NEETs, which means it is their full time dedication. And all they do is figure out the best build, and use it, since it is be-all-end-all. Any gear necessary for that becomes expensive in order to prevent anyone else getting the opportunity to try it/have it, unless someone gets lucky or scumms ones way to that build.

And all that stems from gating the average player. Why do you think that exalt to chaos ratio spiked from initial 1:30 to 1:50 and then all the way to 1:70, 1:80 (Warbands)? You seem to forget that whole Ventor debacle.
>>
>>126716595
Yes, thats how it should be.

I cant help that the vast majority of players are incapable of trading, you can easily make an exalt in a day and have a job at the same time.

The richest players in other games are also no-lifers, so I dont see how thats any different.

And there are quite a few end game viable builds right now, with a number of them costing less than an exalt to be end game viable.

The Chaos to Exalt prices have spiked so high because of the uselessness of chaos at endgame, which is a completely different discussion.

Im sorry that this game doesnt appeal to the average player, but im glad that GGG doesnt cave into people like you and turn their game into a piece of trash. PoE is the only alright ARPG on the market right now, and as long as we ignore suggestions like yours, it will stay that way.

No shit an average player isn't going to see exceptional items, and that's how it should be. That way there is always something to work for no matter how much time you waste. That's the whole point, your gear can always become better. Crafting perfect items is hard and should be hard.

Should they make crafting more accessible? sure why not. But time investment is not what bottle necks crafting, it's the intricate affix and pricing system that makes it complicated. Anyone can make enough currency to start crafting and actually profit from it, thing is it's way too hard at first to understand how to do it. What bases to use, what rolls to keep, what currency to slap on it, what to mastercraft and how much their items are actually worth.

Probably shows that something is not exactly right, does it not? It is one thing to have rich players in the game who become rich trough time spent and effort dedicated, it is another thing to have rich players via gating content.

As to yur third point, i agree. Because otherwise very few people would play the game.

Chaos are actualy quite useful, seems like you certainly have not followed the debacle.

And you fifth point doesnt even stand up to scrutiny.

>>126717238

>>give me everything because I don't want to work for it

And another strawman.

Regardless, the average player (not a moron) will figure out whats to what by the time they reach Merc difficulty. At that point, it is the availability of currency that will bottleneck crafting, not time invested (one can play 500 hours flat and not find a single exalt or a divine) unless you mean eternal grind in order to aquire a shot at crafting a good ring, because by that time you will need something else or switch completely to something different, which makes all tat grind possible. Or are you trying to push catch 22? Grind to get currency to craft/buy this ring that you need to grind to craft/buy it?

>>126717583

The "insane knowledge barrier" is only imposed by those already at the top.

Doesnt take much to know that a tri-res ring with high res rolls is already good, or even better if it has decent life/es and IIR.

Its a fucking staff. Its draw backs are completely fucking retarded compared to a shield + wand/dagger/sceptre combination.

None of the staves are good, they are all easily replaced by somewhat cheap items such as Saffels if you really wanted to. They give shit damage, cripple you from a defensive standpoint etc. They are bad items and thats why no one uses them. Any lightning caster will go for PoH over any of the Agenord staves if he has the necessary disposable income to spend.

That should tell you anything you need to know. At least Searing Touch used to be a niche unique that was BiS for certain builds. These things arent BiS for anyone because of how ridiculous bland and boring they are.

Thats different though. Charans item are memes that can be gotten on low level. By release shit like Agenords you block the slot for high level lightning spell caster staves because GGG sure as hell wont release one themselves now.

They could work for plenty of shit if they would finally be treated as what they are supposed to be: a glass canon alternative to shields. But their damage is so fucking bad that this will never happen.

>>126731639
Build enabling, lmao. I dont think you even know what a build enabler is. RotP and Shavs are build enablers. A fucking staff that gives you some Penetration or +5 Max Lightning resistance (which is nothing but a defensive layer and not even close t something like RotP+RF interaction) isnt a fucking build enabler.

The Lightning staves arnt terrible, its hard to make a staff worth using though.

It either has to have some insane stat like Pledge or give a skill like Whispering Ice. None of the elemental staves are like that, even the best one isnt used much at all anymore.

Staves just need a rework.

i like to spend longer than necessary to progress while dying over and over again with a build that doesn't work for the illusion of having a good build in the precious few situations where i'm not getting buttraped by my utterly failed shitcore "build"

sometimes i also like to pretend like i'm playing in manmode by logging out and by making a tanky build while having it easier because items are easier to get in the cheat economy since there's more players and items never leave the economy so i'm practically handed good items while ironically playing like a mancore player in poopcore

So nothing changed. Meaning that there arent any new options faggot. If the crit chance was below 6% then there already were skills that worked well before.

What does that have to do with the spell being used? Thats something general that you can say by looking at the tree. And since you yourself said that crit still is good the tree obviously can support it.
>>
>>126736965
before building 5% crit spells as crit was still a stronger option than noncrit

Some people don't want to gamble, your so call "waste" of fuses only happens if you do in the billions of fuses to homogenize data point.

The fact you even said this imply you've never taken a statistic course ever in your life. The couple extra fuses that I'm paying for, relative to the super large sample size, is a guarantee. In a game full of RNGs on top of RNGs, Vorici is the only guarantee. Why gamble more when you don't need to?

>Crafting's already pretty simple with masters
i never have enough currency for 6l from masters. you have to be able to progress you know? which means you have to spend hundreds of fusings getting four and five link on everything. by the time i can start saving for a 6l, i'm about done playing the league because boredom takes too long to get anything good takes too much currency to do anything good.

>just setup a shop, just save, just just just

yeah nah you're a no life autist who treats poe like a job rather than a video game.

That's exactly the opposite of your point. If you can afford to use Vorici then why the hell not? The only reason for not using Vorici is because poorfags try to gamble their way to 6L.
>>
>>126741753
>You'll get that in two, maybe three weeks of casually chaining maps.
No, you won't because first you need to obtain a 5L item which with good luck can come with a few fuses but in my experience it often does not and that's provided you have good luck six socketing your item or paying a master, that is, if you have taken the time to get your masters. I play on hardcore so there's usually a very finite limit on how many people are selling good 6s 5l armors and early in the league they're insanely expensive. So you have to do it yourself which means spending a buttload of sockets and fuses just to get a 5l and just to 4l everything else.

And then you find a better item and have to link and socket everything again.

By the time you can actually start saving 1500 fucking fusings for a 6L, you're damn near ready to quit.

You're a no life autist if you think otherwise. The socket and link system is hideously broken and the only people who are ok with it treat poe like a job or have extremely low standards.

>>
>>126742112
You can grab a 5L for three or four chaos. Just craft life on it if it's a fresh league. Cap your res and you'll be more or less fine. Now you're ready to map.
For six sockets and six linking, you dump quality. It effects both. Again, two or three weeks of casually chaining maps and you'll have all of the whetstones and shit for it.
You don't save 1500 fusings. In fact, I've said multiple times that's not what I use master crafting for, or what I even recommended it for either. Not when you're crafting a high end item from a white base. Which is what I specifically said it's useful for. And which is what you'll be looking to obtain after two or three weeks of casually mapping.
Just shit anon. Play the fucking game. You save a hell of a lot of currency from just playing. I average an exalt a day from just grinding maps without even taking into account the profit off of selling shit in a shop. And I'm only playing 4 or 5 hours a day this league. Even if you play for 2 hours a day, you'll have enough currency saved to do what I'm talking about after a few weeks.

yep that's some no life poe as a job autist speak if i've ever seen any.

i never have and never will that's a preemptive statement because it invariably will be used to counter some other problem with the fusing system. if the person says they spend thousands of fusings -> you tell them just use vorici. the problem is none of these solutions actually help with the way the game flows, unless you play the game like it's a job rather than a video game.

> I average an exalt a day from just grinding maps
that's nice but converting your pennies into an exalt means you have to treat poe like a job

>>126743827
>There's no way you're this inefficient when playing PoE
i regularly get to level 90 barely playing compared to most of the no life autistic retarded faggots who play this awful game. looking at the leaderboard i can see that the OVERWHELMING VAST MAJORITY OF THE POPULATION gets no where near close enough to obtain the currency needed to 6L an item yourself. when i'm in the top 1,000 barely even playing the game and sitting at no where near enough currency to 6L

buying a 5l that you can actually use in your build in a fresh league for cheap is not going to happen. everyone is massive jews in a new league and knows you need a 5l which means they're gonna to charge 100x what it's worth unless you find the one retard selling it for too little.

you have to keep a shop updated and constantly trade = treating poe like a job

you can't just progress and enjoy and do a little trading here and there. you have to constantly engage in invasive trade while suffering through using shit items through a large portion of progression saving currency to afford a 6l. this period of time lasts long enough to turn off most players who play. you can see as evidenced by how many players make it to 90+ on hc leagues. it's barely anybody. like what 5,000 players? lol nobody is even enjoying end game the way it's meant to be played in this game because of shit eating autists like you who defend the worst socket linking shit imaginable and then tell anybody who disagrees with you they're just bad. fuck you you fucking retarded shit eating faggot your game is shit and you suck.
>>
>>126744414
Well yeah, you either do a couple Alch/Scours or Alt till Life+resist and regal+master craft it.

So i guess a 5L is like 8c on day one, still really easy.
>>
>>126744414
Like I said earlier, you don't need stats to get into low end maps. You're buying it for the links. Craft life, cap your resists elsewhere, and chain maps.
It's important to get your character to that point. Even more so on day 1. Because that lead you score early into a league will carry over the next few weeks.
>>
>>126744560
If you seriously think 5Ls are that expensive at the start of a league youve never searched xyz on day one.

And keeping shops updated? It takes me 5-10 minutes to set up Acquisition every league, then I just dump gear into tabs and it automatically puts in buyouts and updates my shop. Trades take less than a minute if im already in my hideout.
>>
>>126744560
You've been playing for four years. You've made it to 90 multiple times. You're dumped in hundreds, hell, maybe even thousands of hours into path of exile's endgame map system. And yet you've never accumulated 15 exalts. Amazing.
>>
>>126744646
just level from 1-60 with shit items
just level all the way through maps with shit items
just trade and save after doing all of this for a few weeks
now after the best part of a league is over you can now start progressing in the real end game
enjoy :^)
>>
>>126744560
>OVERWHELMING VAST MAJORITY OF THE POPULATION gets no where near close enough to obtain the currency needed to 6L an item yourself
I agree that the current linking system is horribly designed but this simply is a moot point. The overwhelming vast majority of the population of the game also is a bunch of casuals who want everything handed to them. They think that the fact that they play the game entitles them to own items, run maps etc.
>>
>>126744916
how many people do you think have legitimately saved 15 pure ex in hc?

i bet you it's <1%

only people who say this is easy treat poe like a job. nothing more.

>hurrrrrrrrrr look guise i spend my life trading and treating poe like a job look at the shit all over my underpants see how leet i am?

even if you save up 15ex for an armor you still need a weapon, boots, belt, hat, 2x rings, amulet, well rolled end game maps.

15ex is hard enough to save alone unless you treat poe like a job or are extremely lucky or play standard

I played this shit league for maybe 5 days in total and already accumulated 10ex+ in currency (of which I ripped almost all).

Farming 15EX really doesnt require you to treat PoE like a job or no life. It takes time, sure. But what would be the point if it didnt? Instant gratification isnt all there is to life. In fact, its not what your life should be about. Yet thats basically what youre asking for.

Of course you need to play consistently. But why do you expect to get rewards for not being committed? What sort of attitude is that? Do you go through life and ask for handouts because of existing? No you dont. So why the fuck should it be any different in video games?

You should play shitcrow like you were playing hardcuck, trying to not die and having a decent build. That's how you learn how to play.

>real life is a great way to make video games
Video games are a hobby
A hobby is a choice

Do you start free climbing and complain about it being hard?
Do you start hitting the gym and complain about not being able to bench press 400pounds?
Do you start painting and complain about your creation looking like shit?
Do you start learning and instrument and complain about it sounding like shit?

Hobbies are fucking choices. If you dont like something you move on. They are interchangeable because all there is to them is entertainment. Why shouldnt video games have learning curves like other hobbies do? Why should they be the exact opposite and just hand shit to you for playing them?
>>
>>126746096
if you're a new player you will get tired and bored since there's no real threat of death for a looooooooong time since a new players won't be losing significant experience for a long ass time because of the learning curve.

in this period of time a new player will develop really bad habits. they get tired, bored, run into some hard content again and again and they eventually stop paying attention to how much damage they're taking and just start face tanking.

hardcore slaps you upside the head and it keeps you focused. you will eventually progress just far enough to care about losing the character. you will lose the character and the next time you play, you will be more aware than before.

in poopcore you die and don't even blink at it because it's not penalizing for so long. by the time you get good you have no developed the skills to play safely, because you have gotten so used to face tanking everything that you have no clue how to recognize anything. if you don't rng your way into amazing gear and aren't one shotting everything, the first mob that gives you some trouble you die to immediately.

very few players will be naturally good enough at video to play shitcore and actually get good at it.

So what did you pick?

>>126746887
you literally do treat the game as a job. you can simply see by how many players reach 90+ on hardcore. i understand that hardcore end game shouldn't be for casuals but really, there's maybe 2k alive players at 90+ within a month after that the league is dead

so enjoy your game of 2k active players that of which many will never even have a 6L not named tabula

i'd honestly rather find high runes and socketed items in diablo 2 than 6L it was a lot easier than this shit, before they increased the drop rates.

I started PoE jumping straight on hc, everything i learned came from deaths, i basically bruteforced my way into new acts using leftover equipment from previously characters, it was slow and extremely boring having to play through normal mode and cruel almost every single day.

Every new act came with a new death since i never knew what type of mod/bosses i would encounter.

One day i finally reached maps just to die on my second map. I said fuck it and created a sc character since i could continue to progress while having the opportunity to learn all the mechanics from mods and high tier maps bosses.

My hardcore experience after this sc journey was smooth like a baby's bum, i managed to hit 93 in the last hc league and only stopped playing because i was bored.

And nobody plays end game. Hardcore there are barely over 1000 players at 90+ right now.

just think about that for a second. if players were actively trading they'd be blowing past 90. instead they quit at ~80 or die because trade and gearing is shit.

trading in poe is a job. end game in poe is a job. nobody likes it but no life autists. deal with it.
>>
>>126748149
You're right anon, I treat this game as a job. Totally and completely. However, to say that is a tad bit insulting. Path of Exile isn't only my career. It is my life. I live for mapping. I live for defending grinding gear games as the pinnacle of gaming companies. In order to further support them I RMT all of my exalts at the end of each league in order to purchase their supporter packs. Sadly though, even while treating this game as my job, I still fail to make more than $80 when I RMT my gear and currency. So that's why I take out a loan! Because, hey, it's my job. I remember it like it was just yesterday. I took out a ten thousand dollar loan in order to support my favorite company and used it to purchase their Ruler of Wraeclast supporter pack. Since then, I've continued to take out numerous loans of the same sum in order to prove my devotion to grinding gear games.
So that's why it's okay for you to ignore all of the rational comments telling you that it's a perfectly realistic goal to obtain 15 exalted orbs within a four month league. Because, you know, you're right. Obtaining a five link, or, god forbid, a six linked item in path of exile is damn near impossible. From crafting, obtaining one as a drop, or purchasing one from other players. And you know you're right. Because, hey, how could someone play this game for four years and be so that fucking bad? It can't happen.

>>126744560

I concur.
Thing is, because PoE is so heavily gated, there are few players that want to stick with it for a long time. Mostly autists. And because they pretty much compose the top of the playerbase and a good chunk of it, they treat the game as their hugbox. Anything that could improve player retention or duration average player spends time playing it, and subsequently buying stuff from cosmetic shop, gets actively opposed by them, because that will hurt their status, feeling of completion, etc etc, and ofcourse will upset to shit the whole RMT thing.

A good game with a mountain of potential, ruined by players (some of them, hello Ventor and Co.) and hampered by incompetent developers.

I don't see what's so hard to understand, anon.
If you spend an hour and a half a day chaining maps.
90 minutes, where you slot in the map, rush to clear it, sell the shit loot, sell the six socket items, slot in another immediately and repeat
repeat that for an hour and a half each day
you'll have 15 exalts equivalent by the end of three weeks.
You'll have the 1500 fusings required to get that six link that, according to you, less than 1% of the player base can reasonably obtain

There is no need to play 18 hours a day
there is no need to trade with other players
there is no need to RMT
Just 90 minutes of chaining maps
of grinding efficiently
Just 90 minutes of not re-rolling new characters
Just 90 minutes of chaining white and blue maps

I honestly don't understand how someone can play an entire league and not accumulate several hundred exalted orbs. Hell, even without merching or selling your gear. Just playing self found. The only way you find 15 exalts an unreasonable goal is if you spend your entire time rushing through acts 1-4 on a new character.

according to the fact that literally 1% of the playerbase is at 90+ retard

if it were even remotely reasonable for players to save up 15ex there would be far more players reaching 90+

there are 1k players at 90+ on hc talisman
there are 3k players at 90+ on talisman

chris once said there are three times as many players on sc leagues than hc leagues

chris once said there are 150k active players in leagues

do the math. if players were readily acquiring 15ex they would be flying past 90 as you won't hit 90 as a wall unless your gear is shit and more likely you won't even hit 90 because you suck at poe or because you suck at poe and the gearing systems are fucking garbage.

Who? There's literally <1k players at 90+ on HC right now. There's nobody to even buy the shit maps and you kinda need to run those maps to get those maps and to progress so even though there are few people that high of level, there's even fewer selling and even fewer who can afford. Because the trading system is ass and the systems to progress your gear are shit. Only the players who treat PoE like a job are playing the real end game and the statistics prove this. Of course some people enjoy that, like you probably but you are literally like 100 people out of millions who play. Why create a game designed for 100 people when millions play your game?

>search for item on trade chat

If I wanted to fucking buy the item for what its sold for on the indexer then I would just whisper someone who buys it on the indexer for fucks sake. When will these people understand that the trade chat is for people who are willing to to sell for less but receive currency immediately instead of being forced to wait multiple days for someone to fucking find it on a shop?!

>>126764629
>instead of being forced to wait multiple days
nigger what the fuck are you talking about?

Immediately.


Why are people selling an item that shares the same asking price that shows up on indexers? Because that is how people fucking price check.

Fuck.

>EVERY transaction I've done using an indexer was nearly immediate.
Ok. So youre telling me that there isnt a single item on your shop right now because your items, no matter what it is, always sells the instance it pops of on poe.xyz, yes?

Ho ho ho, very fucking Christmas humor you degenerate nigger.

>Don't play the game and come on only to pk and ruin it even further
If someone wants to buy something for the same price its being sold for on the indexer then he wouldnt search for it on the trade chat. He would fucking whisper someone on who has the items on his goddamn shop because that way he would save the time SEARCHING.

So if I search for an item on the trade chat that I do that a) because its not on the indexer or b) because its fucking overpriced on the indexer (in my opinion). If you werent so mentally challenged you would realize that and not just copy paste indexer 'valuations' into the trade chat when someone is looking for an item.

pre 2.0 there still were hardly any 90+ players on HC I know I used to check my rank all the time and couldn't believe how few players were ranked above me.

the problem is that gearing up is shit. it's not a smooth transition into a top tier 6L unique. you basically have to go from complete and utter shit gear -> RMT tier gear, unless you treat the game like a job, it's not happening.

if there were more players with the currency needed to gear to the level needed to run top tier maps then there would be far more 90+ players as with better gears leveling is a breeze.

there aren't more geared players because like I said gearing is shit. trading is shit. the RNG is shit and the master crafters are cost prohibitive.

you HAVE to trade for end game items because they tacked several retarded layers of RNG onto everything you find. find a valuable armor you want to use? oh, just six socket, no big deal. oh, just six link it, no big deal. oh, just roll the off bias color sockets you need. oh, you don't have the stats to wear this either, just buy 60 regret orbs to redo your tree. just just just just just just just do this and this and this and this all you gotta do is this. just setup a shop and monitor your trades all day every day like you owned a damned ebay store.

the most fun a player can have is playing largely self found up until <90 and just completely ignore the real end game.

This... is an exceptionally on-point post and explains very well why I have been suffering in low-mid tier maps ala 5-8.

I play like I have great gear, great damage, great defenses, and an aurabot on me 100% of the time with a golem that never dies.

In reality, my gear is half-decent, but still pretty shit since half of it has all the Dex I need on it instead of good res/other crafted mods.
My damage is still insane, but my defenses are gutter tier at only 18% phys mitigation, 24% when all 3 Endurances are up, barely capped Res except for Lightning at 69, and Chaos res of 54, cause I just don't want to give a fuck about Chaos damage.
I also am almost exclusively solo self-found, my golem is dead 9/10 times and I suck at the game, so despite believing I can do good, I do awful and always question why.

The game freezes for a second when theres a Talisman nearby, when you hover over a Divination card, when you fucking hover over a goddamn quest reward in Cruel Act 1 or when someone who isnt even a summoner enters the goddamn instance. God forbid you open a strongbox with an exile in it.

The game freezes so fucking often since this shit patch went live its easier to list the things that dont make it lagg.

The tooltip is approximately how much each time you hit them the first time.
Bladefall fires 2 volleys.
The first one hits for about tooltip and then the second one hits for 90% of your tooltip.
If you have Spell Echo, it does this twice.

25000
23750
22500

20000

Each mob is normally hit for 2 of those 5 volleys. If you manage to hit them with all 5, that's 112500 damage before mob armour and resists.

>>126791031
Trap passives don't double dip. Poison passives don't double dip, poison passives only affect the poison, trap passives only affect the skill coming from the trap.

This isn't double dipping.

Something like Fire damage with burning is double dipping because it has to re-use the fire damage increases twice.

I really don't think you've played a trapper, I'm level 74 on talisman SC with decent gear and I have clever construction, +1 traps from shadow trinode, clever construction and Force shaper. The damage is fine, but you still need to run a second set of AoE traps if you want to clear fast, waiting for cooldowns for another pack isn't fun and it's made me resort to using my deerstalkers for a 5L for EK.

but poison dips from every damage node... that's how it works.. if I had EK with physical nodes and spell damage nodes it would also benefit the poison because it takes from the spells hit.

what the fuck are you talking about then. you could literally replace bladefall with anything else, including reave, groundslam,. cyclone.
>dagger nodes buff the reave
>reave poisons for a fuckin ton up to 15 times in ideal situations
>poison is buffed notably by both melee phys damage gem, crit damage gem and conc effect gem!

also, you just used the word
>oh hey double dip!
when its not a double dip. its just a damage dip. stop confusing yourself and every autist here

>but thats not double dipping.

im not saying he is right, but that he is referring to it that way and being overly pedantic aint gonna advance the argument in any useful way
>>
>>126792169
>reave poisons for a fucking ton up to 15 TIMES in ideal situations
Except it doesn't.
Reave poisons once per hit.
Bladefall in a Multi-trap can poison up to 15 times.
I.E. boss is running super fast towards a taunt totem or something and you are right behind it, runs over all 3 of your traps and gets hit 5 times by each AoE, because it's a cascade of knives. That's 15 poisons. Reave can't do that.
>>
>>126792102
but it's true, every node that benefits your method of application applies to the poison. if this argument is true for everything (and it is) that means that you can't use this argument exclusively for traps.

you're basically saying - "traps are much better because the poison benefits from trap damage nodes!" - well yes, that's how it works.
>>
>>126792359
You just hit him 15 times with 0 fucking around. Reave can absolutely do that.
>>
>>126792359
bruh theres no way in hell you are gonna hit all 15 volleys by the bladefall lmao

trap dmg is shit anyways so the posion barely even benefits
>>
>>126792359
And guess what, Poison is based on % of your hit. Just because you hit a lot doesn't mean your poison is guaranteed to do more damage. If I hit 50 times for a second for 100 damage with poison, each poison ticks for 10 damage each second for a total of 1000 damage.

It's the exact same damage if I hit once for 5000 damage, each poison tick would deal 500 damage each second for a total of 1000 damage.

>Bladefall in a Multi-trap can poison up to 15 times.

There is no situation, or mobtype large enough that can be poisoned 15 times reliably. maybe 8 times max, but not 15 times. Also, bladefalls 5% less per volley reduces the damage of poisons as well.

GUYS LET ME EXPLAIN DOUBLE DIPPIN FOR YOU:

Say trap poison bladefall

Trap affect bladefall damage, poison takes its damage from bladefall hit. Its a linear relation: trap bladefall > poison. NO DoubleDipinn

NOW if you have an item that gives you 30% increased damage

It goes like this:

Inc damage mod > bladefall trap > inc damage mod again! > poison

Double dippin!

>>126792823
We know what double dipping is except for that one autist.

Poison doesn't have a double dipping damage for Bladefall though. Burns did with fire damage, Bladefall and poisons do not.
>>
>>126792921

poison is chaos damage
bladefall is phys

stuff like those generic inc. damage mods let poison double dip by affecting it in 2 parts of the damage calculation

poison is also a DoT so it double dips in vulnerability (it first affect the phys hit, then the pure dot)
>>
Does CwDT + Decoy Totem not work anymore?
>>
>>126793089
>generic inc. damage mods l
why aren't you giving an example.

There aren't really a lot of "increased damage" mods on items unless you count shitty uniques like Bated Breath.

And even then, there's very little to make it worthwhile compared to other methods of application and the scaling they get, for example Casters can get Spell Echo, Cast on Crit builds can just use attack speed. Trapping isn't worth it at all.

generic Increased Damage is fucking common on talismans. do you play standard or something?

also on jewels
>>
>>126793360
>also on jewels

untrue, jewels depending on color are more slanted towards effects such as increase spell damage, increased spell damage while holding a shield, increased trap damage. All of which do not double dip. And even then, there's only 1 talisman base type that double dips like you say.

Double dipping isn't worth it and GGG purposely designed poison after the events of Ele prolif.
>>
>>126793471

the t3 talisman base and the rigwald drop also can have that property

also i have inc damage and life on all my socketed jewels, so it cant be that rare

you DO play standard dont you?
>>
>>126793636
You say someone calls you retarded because they have no argument and now you resort to standard calling? haha oh Wow. Well memed.

And how many sockets do you have jimmy? Go on.

so if someone goes Duelist clawman molten strike
what's a good combo character that could support or be useful next to that one?
>>
>>126793805
im calling you standard because if you have been playing tali leagues at all you should know inc damage is not that rare on ammies and with some crafting or trading you can also have it on jewels

but you seem to think those are super rare, which leads me to think you are on a league with no talisman shit and a slower econ
>>
>>126793894
Pretty much anything sounds more useful than a claw molten strike duelist.
