Are people seriously complaining about having to pay 10 or 20 dollars? If you don't wanna buy the class, just fucking don't. It's better than no content, and very nice if you're like me and always wanted the necromancer in D3
>>
>>159401484
Not by a long shot.

D3 players generally are the best customers in the sense that they have a lot of disposable income and don't really care if they just spend it on to "support the game" for even the most minor shit. Unlike people playing PoE, which have a bunch of people with no tab upgrades and still using Windows 98.

This is an inherent advantage from a non-free game to begin with.

Except it's not a projectile, nor it "hits" so anything that you supported incinerate with is useless if you try to do it with Scorching Ray. 2 different skills and you're just showing your new by concluding that just because they "look" similar.

started with poe this league and want to be more effective when the next league starts.
how do i have a good start on day 1?
how do i get skill gems i cant get with the class i'm playing?
how is gear treated? when i started my first char i picked up stuff and looked for upgrades, i know this shouldn't be done because its ineffective.
>>
>>159429031
>how do i have a good start on day 1?
Look for starter build, Elementalist Flameblast, Juggernaut EQ, etc. If you go Juggernaut EQ you can farm uberlab and make tons of cash, which you can use on your next character.

>how do i get skill gems i cant get with the class i'm playing?
Go on poe.trade and buy them.

>how is gear treated? when i started my first char i picked up stuff and looked for upgrades, i know this shouldn't be done because its ineffective.
Pretty much only pick up rares from Act 2 Normal onwards until you hit highlvl maps, where you can find ilvl 84 items which can used for crafting/lab enchants. In Act 3 Merc you should start saving rares with ilvl60-74 to use for the chaos orb vendor recipe.

Any reason to use prophecies/coins while leveling or should you just stockpile them?
>>
>>159432271
Stockpiling them is better in every single way.
>>
>>159429917
with the gear question i meant, how long can i get away running around in rags while leveling? since on day 1 you do not have leveling gear like tabula, goldrims n shit.

also, do people really put up skill gems on day 1? i imagined everyone would just focus on getting to dried lake/maps asap, so no one would bother putting stuff up on poe.trade

spell echo is already bad enough locking you in for two casts, that some people consider not running spell echo.

Yes, because they can buy a gem for 1alt from a vendor and then sell them for an alch only because some gems aren't commonly available.

diablo3 is a game, no matter how bad it is, its still more of a "game" than poe, maybe you'll disagree now but you'll remember these words some way along the 8725th gorge run, they will strike you as some kind of divine revelation, making you drop your mouse, stare at the screen, motionless, looking at your 859th character slowly ripping to some white mob, your autologout macro will save you but it won't matter, you'll close poe and never open it again. Maybe you will commit suicide, maybe you will find the strength to move on, either way i wish you all good luck.

Sup, folks. Came by to ask for an advice. I want to buy some stash tabs, but am poor as fuck, so a thought about rmting is constantly visiting me, but a recent stash sale gave a loud volley. After looking for some info, made an ownedcore account along with paypal one. Have about 15ex for sale (dont mind that shitty number), and want to sell all that stuff correctly. What should I do? How to choose the right man and how to not lose orbs or incoming money due to some reverse. Im counting on you, faggots.

all i see is that you and your friends enjoy poe more than you enjoy games, dont see how that contradicts with my statement

dont get me wrong, i myself played all diablos and torchlights and grim dawns and titan quests and poe, since beta. Poe stands out from all of them, and for the aforementioned reason. It may look the same, it may even feel the same, but its not. It takes time to realise, what is "off" but, eventually, you'll get there.

I am probably older than you (I'm 32) and have played Blizzard games for a very long time. Time changes a lot of things and Blizzard has had to change as well. I'd rather pay for a DLC or a "Character Pack" than get nothing at all! Everyone wants something for nothing... You think you can pay once for a game and get 10 years worth of content? You're dumb. Sorry but that is the bottom line. Someone/something has to pay those salaries. Down vote me all you want. Not in these forums to win some kind of popularity contest. Telling it how it is.

We are the same age, born 1984, unfortunately you don't recognize the problem. The problem is not a paid dlc, the problem is that they(Blizz) don't want to admit to themselves that Diablo 3 is plagued by fundamental gameplay issues and instead of fixing those(or at least try) they want us to be happy about a new class, glittery stuffs. This is not what Diablo 3 is in a desperate need of right now. That's why people are angry and rightfully so.

How about fixing all those useless skill runes and add some build diversity to the game, when was the last time you saw a frozen orb wizard or a wizard(ranged class) that isn't played as ''melee'' wizard. Whirlwind barbs? Hota barbs? Don't get me started. How about recognizing the poor itemization and do something about that?

New classes, paid dlc worthy content? I'll gladly pay for those and don't expect to get them for free but this isn't what Diablo 3 needs right now. The whole point with people wanting a new expansion is to fix core gameplay issues... and then maybe something else to do than endless tedious Grifts. Instead we got the ''extra'' bonus( new class) without any real substance.

You can defend them but they really dropped the ball this time, this 20th anniversary was a golden opportunity for them to mend the game, instead we have the ''armory'' and a D1 retro event, a new class with more storage space(*sigh*) ''sometime in 2017'' . I'm not to disappointed because i didn't have high expectations to begin with, still i recognize the problem, it's unfortunate that Blizz does not and even more so that there are actually people defending them. On the other hand it seems Blizzard is developing for these people and may no longer care for their reputation as a quality producing gaming company, time will tell.

Blizzard is committed to the franchise.

I'm very happy they decided to charge for the necromancer class.

Let's all be realistic here, you can't have a quarterly profit and loss statement by different lines of business (games) and expect to keep on having things on a negative line item.

You SHOULD be happy we even have an option to throw money at Blizzard. Otherwise, D3 would really be in maintenance mode and we would have nothing until D4.

This is GOOD for D3 and for the franchise - provided that the community buys into it.

All this vitriol over 30-40 dollars is really embarrassing to see.

We are all on the same side. We want a good game. A "good game" means more money for Blizzard because people will buy it.

This is Blizzard's golden weekend. Their employees and blizzcon attendees love the event. All this stuff you guys are posting is raining down on that parade.

Can't you keep your negativity to yourself til Monday?

Define viable? You can make just about anything work, but there are maybe half a dozen builds that are actually good.

Most of the ascendancies are garbage except for one node per build. Trickster is ball of "get 50% increased utility stat when you X" shored up by a shit-ton of flat ES on one node. Raider is strictly worse than Pathfinder; raider goes fast and gets immunities from phasing; pathfinder goes faster with +effect QS and can get (more) immunities from a unique flask than raider would from a silver/quartz, and can generate flask charges to boot.

>>
>>159457149
people got banned for poehud back when it modified stuff in RAM with things like disabling that fucking rain effect in dominus tower. Now these things are no longer available and poehud only reads from ram, shows you stuff in overlay, which is fine. It also has some anti-anticheat measures like process class spoofing. I dont know anyone who got banned after the no-memory-write change.

Also GGG is incompetent enough to make a game, let alone protect it from hacks. They use hacky solutions to "fix" gameplay, so i see fit to use same hacky solutions to fight with their retardation.

I myself use poehud + autopot.ahk
Dunno when exactly i started using all that but been playing poe since beta. No ban yet.

to any GGG dev reading this, choke on a cock, you are banning people who are "spamming out" the RMT bots in global so their ads dont stay on anybody's screen longer than a split second, yet you do absolutely nothing to stop the bots themselves. Fucking kys

Ignite Vortex build using Three Dragons or Pyre.
Stack Ignite Chance, Elementalist for Prolif and more Ignite, and then stack Spell/Cold/AoE damage for sick Ignites. Use Elemental Overload for MORE damage, LL for also MORE damage if you want (though LL is mostly 'I have Shavs' or not build)

worst part is that most people who play now don't want to go back to slow pace. GGG created a dilemma for themselves:
rebalance everything and make poe great again but lose playerbase
keep the playerbase and continue ruining the game by focusing on new skill gems and new mtx

in either case
poe is dead

first case is also impossible because it would mean profit loss

mob packs were a mistake
the way they are executed in poe is absolutely uncreative, boring and stupid way of doing that. You dont simply group a bunch of exactly the same mobs into nice juicy and tight groups and then just throw them at randomly generated terrain.

mob groups should be spread out more to eliminate this "oneshotting dem blue packs woah build so gud XD" garbage, as well as consist of multiple types of mobs, mixing ranged, fast melee, slow melee and others together. Also white mobs should simply have more hp, blue even more, and rares even moreso.

Also tormented spirits should be removed, they are a poor design ( GGG handywork yet again ), due to their inconsistancy

So here's a Molten Strike build focused on the projectiles part, I'm planning on running next league. The idea is to stack accurary for the Undeniable Juggernaut's node and use it with a Dreamfeather + another sword or even Dreamfeather + Soultaker if I decide to respec later. For helmet I'm thinking about Obscurantis I know and rest I'll pick Armor/Evasion sets. I could even try Ziggy's new belt but I don't think it will be that good. Any suggestions? aside from killing myself, fags

Mathil said that changing Way of the Poacher on Raider from "15% chance to gain a Frenzy Charge on Kill" to "15% chance to gain a Frenzy Charge on Hit" would fix the Ascendancy. Is he right?

No. Raider would become the new Pathfinder with 100% uptime on Frenzy charges even against bosses, which would make abuse of fast hitting spells like BV or poison stacking with Snakebite + ranged attack way too easy.

You're retarded if you don't think I didn't make that connection. I'm saying that you're going to regret it down the line and you should just play an evasion based character rather than the Marauder if you want to do Dreamfeathers with Molten Strike. The AS boost you get from going Juggernaut is not nearly as good as the benefits you go from going either Raider, Pathfinder, or Assassin.

Who cares about Frenzy Charges, you just run Bloodrage if you want on-kill and use Frenzy if you need something to generate them for bosses unless you're a Discharge autist.

>It was a fairly bad run overall for speed

>>
>>159487065
Of course you can generate Frenzy charges vs single target pretty easily if you're ranged but that's not really the point, you're still wasting precious time and sockets (at the very least a 2L for Frenzy - FA) and have to manage charge uptime, which wouldn't be an issue with % chance to gain Frenzy on hit.

That's like saying well you can maintain ECs vs bosses with Enduring Cry, so what's the big deal with giving % chance to gain EC on hit?

A rebalancing of Raider in the form of a Frenzy equivalent of Juggernaut Unflinching+Unrelenting might be okay but an indiscriminate % FC on hit is WAY too powerful and abusable.

quick question from a new player because I can't get a clear answer from the wiki

It's just random RNG mobs that kill you in seconds out of nowhere meanwhile everything else, even fucking act bosses is fine if you know how to dodge. It's fucking bullshit right now but I'm willing to learn to improve
>>
>>159509125
Is this in normal difficulty? If you're new to the game you really shouldn't be playing hardcore, it's just bashing your head against a brick wall because you can't find which windows to break.

Play softcore and stick with a character (any character) until you get to act 4 merciless (don't finish that act btw it's got bullshit scaling) and run a few maps. By that time your knowledge of the game will have improved 1000 fold and suddenly you'll be able to rush a one legged witch armed with a cheese grater through normal difficulty without breaking a sweat. Then next league you can roll HC and brag about how big your epeen is and then cry yourself to sleep when you lose them to a bad reflect map
>>
>>159509089
>The clone will have a portion of your maximum life, not your current life
But does it copy any life from me at all? I've read it works independently, like a zombie and a summoner. Meaning even if I have a total of 5k life, that doesn't mean the clone will also have it plus other bonuses to its life. From what it seems it has it's own life pool and only "copies" effects that affects your life pool, like auras and mana reservation. So getting any +X life won't affect it at all?
>>
>>159509408
Yes it is.I have spent literally hundreds of hours just trying to figure out what the hell I'm doing wrong. I'm not a defeatist but I'm starting to wonder why I even bother anymore.

>I play hardcore because it feels like there's actual stakes to dying rather than just teleport back to town and bumrush the remainder of the enemies.
Stop. You won't learn about the actual game if you keep dying before you get to the real stuff. There's a million things that you have to know about beforehand or they'll kill you, namely most bosses' attack patterns, bearers, reflect, devourers, certain vaal side areas, and the lab.
>>
>>159509418
You're taking the clone part entirely too literally. It's just a thing that happens to look like you, not a literal clone of you.

>>159509538
>I play hardcore because it feels like there's actual stakes to dying
But you don't know what you're doing? That's very masochistic of you.

I started playing this game with a group of friends, and we all started HC too. And we struggled too. And most of my friends ragequit because they were scrubs that didn't know what the fuck was going on (but hey at least they had big balls from playing HC right?), and the 3 of us who switched to SC and stuck it out are having a ton of goddamn fun now, and next league we're all planning on some HC fun in merciless, because beating normal and cruel is a joke to us now.

There's a reason most games gate HC behind actually having beaten the game. The only "stakes" to dying as a newb in HC is that you aren't learning anything and in a few weeks (at most) you'll have quit.


>>159509749
Yeah, right, that's why everyone farms Kaom and not the Dried Lakes, right? It's a horseshit asspull difficulty spike back from when the game didn't have a post-game, and they should fix it.
>>
>>159509931
I'm far too crazy to quit. I'm no defeatist. I've been trying for two motherfucking years. I've never seen what comes after Dominus, I've heard of maps that reward endless amounts of currency but if I can't make a decent DPS build that lasts longer than Act 3, then I'm simply fucked.

I really don't give a shit about having to stop due to leagues. Despite GGG's best efforts to sabotage my chances at winning Act 3, I'm still going at it.

I wonder if there's a way to track how long you've played this shit total outside of Steam version. I had 100+ hours on the Steam version but I moved to the client one about a year ago for extra space

Dedication can also equate stupidity.

Your situation is analogous to someone who wants to learn calculus but haven't gotten past algebra. You pick up a calculus textbook and refuse to get a teacher, because you're hardcore and dedicated to learn but without going through the other steps.

Of course, PoE's learning curve's relatively much easier compare to the said example, but the fact is you could've gotten there much quicker and way more efficient than being "hardcore".

I am getting a teacher, that's why I'm on here. I'm not here to complain about balance because that's counterproductive. I want to figure out what my next build should be (At least some inspiration) or get some tips in the game.

Again, I play hardcore because there's actual stakes. Standard is just a time sink meanwhile hardcore requires you to know what you're doing. It's like comparing a goddamn Fisher Price block set to a laboratory.

Like many other people I'm jumping the D3 ship.

PoE looks interesting but it seems you can't change your build at a whim, which makes me worry. I suffer from dyscalculia (it's like dyslexia but math) so finding out and experimenting to find builds is difficult for me. Honestly I'm more in it for gear grind.

Will this be an issue for me? Will I miss out on a alot of content if I'm not good at making builds?
>>
>>159524151
you just reroll in poe
it takes less than a day to get to maps
grinding for gear is the whole point of this game
just follow build guides if you don't want to learn the hard way
there are plenty of fotm builds you can faceroll through content with to get your head around the game
>>
>>159524151
You can copy paste builds you find interesting. You're first build's going to be shit, unless you research the hell out of it or copy it, and even then you might struggle. Once you have a grasp of the playstyle of the game, it's not hard mathmatically to figure things out. There's a few numbers you have to remember, but you can write those down, or even check your character sheet to see if you're doing well enough.
>>
>>159524151
In PoE passive skill tree is hard to change, but actual attacks you use can be swapped out on a whim. Of course your attacks need to be properly supported by passives, but certain builds are more general than others. For example, it's easy to make a generic archer build that won't suffer at all from juggling all the bow skills you get your hands on.

As for passives themselves, yeah math helps, but it's usually enough to just have the know-how of which nodes in your vicinity are worth taking.
>>

You don't make your own builds until you're somewhat knowledgable about the game. Pick one that interests you and that doesn't require expensive/hard to get gear first, experimenting will come later.

Do Rolling Flames stack? And if they stack, does it stack like you get 25% aoe 10 meters away with one gem, 50% aoe 10 meters away with 2, etc, and goes past the 50% stated on the gem?

The game isn't good enough on a technical level to give enough of a damn to play hardcore for most. Thats not even going into design that requires you to have literal foresight or previous experience in dealing with some bullshit.

Nice contradiction there. GGG can be incompetent as fuck in regards to several things, engine effects and basic quality of life UI/Keybind changes are a few of them.

Balance is another issue entirely. Its not difficult in the slightest to get a build that can do all but a select few bits of content at zero risk. At that point, only server failures or a hard crash kills outright, outside of typical user error.

Fuck, real talk, I want the game to be perfect, but GGG keeps fucking it up by going one step forward, then ten steps back.

Terribly unintelligent comment, in the matter of having fun solving challenges in a game such as PoE that is very much journey-over-destination, choosing the path of least resistance is the surest way to NOT have fun unless you're a braindead retard and reaching level 95 after 120 deaths is your definition of having "fun" in which case you possess an intelligence barely above that of little child and should neck yourself

>>159554594
Let's be real. The gameplay in PoE, or any arpg for that matter, is garbage. There is nothing interesting in repeating the same mundane tasks for hundreds of hours. It could be argued that the fun lies in planning and doing math and devising unique build concepts, aka the part that happens BEFORE playing and then executing it. When you play shitcore you choose to disregard that fun part which lies in choices, decision making and puzzle solving. You choose to be a plebeian hiding behind the excuse of "fun" with a 140% life glass cannon and have the nerve to pretend to be smart as an engineer because you choose the path of least resistance. But you're just a retarded child rolling in his own shit smeared sandbox. You probably copy streamer builds too, faggot.

The things Blizzard added and changed were amazing. They turned this wreck of a game around to be better than Diablo 2, or any ARPG out right now.

Don't listen to the people crying, Yes D3 could always be better, but the doom and gloom is stupid. Diablo 3 has a ton of life in it, and they are morons for even thinking Diablo 4 would be announced, when three is doing so well.

The content, and changes coming out is amazing. Yes, I would love to see more story content and expand the world, but that can come in time. Right now, Necromancer hype is crazy and many of us still support and love diablo 3.

if you think a build that cant handle endgame content is "viable" or worth doing at all you are a massive retard. You roll a char with an ultimate goal of doing all these things, like uber lab, atziri, guardians, shaper, ts not some optional-ass content, no matter how hard you try to convince yourself while running gorges with your infernal blow build, these are mandatory endgame goals set by GGG. Its just as retarded as saying lab and ascendancies are optional.
>>
>>159566220
That comment wasn't bout running sub par builds, rather that the majority of the content found in the game is piss easy to trump with said sub par builds, never mind a build with an ounce of thought put in with some currency thrown at it.

Don't like the pathing at all, you waste so many 2-3 nodes here and there, even connecting to Duelist starting nodes for no reason. You semi-commit to dual-wield block nodes then pick Acro. Charisma looks random and unnecessary. There are no projectile damage penalty for Frost Blades yet you skip projectile damage nodes on a semi-ranged attack, why? I'd prune the entire Ranger->Shadow section which looks like a mess, commit to Acro instead of block nodes (Raider synergizes well with dodge chance), and cut more unnecessary stuff to head to Scion life wheel. Get crit wherever I can because otherwise you have no damage with weapons that already deal low dps to begin with.

1) Why no Crit? Freeze is a very strong defense mechanism. Hrimburn's damage is nothing to laugh at even with claw. Just FYI, Touch of Anguish is shit terrible.
2) Why devote random block nodes when you have Acrobatics?
3) Way too many points in %Evasion.
4) Point Blank is not worth it in Map clearing. It doesn't nothing against single target for tougher bosses.
5) Deadeye and Pathfinder are way better.

LEVELING PAST 90 WITH HP CHAR IS DRIVING ME INSANE.

I already deleted my ranger cause she was weak (too low damage, lvl 90 too) and now i'm trying a freaking assassin with over 6.5k EHP using cospri with BOTH temp chains and enfeeble.
O.M.F.G.
i Die suddenly to stupid shit (those bodies exploding or something) in maps without even vulnerability, minus resistances, anything, i simply die.
Even died in a crypt (lvl 77) to some sudden burst i obviously didn't see coming and didn't even see it hitting me, like always.

Is it because of that "we factor in that people use auto-dc programs in hardcore?" i've heard somewhere?
CAUSE IF THATS IT, THEN BETTER FIND ANOTHER SOLUTION. Also buff life. FFS BUFF IT ASAP.
I'm ok with dying at a chest frost nova i didn't see or some other bullshit that is very hard to notice with your shittie effects, but sudden rips or even frozen screen rips i cannot accept. I hope more people are getting utterly mad and i hope you guys start loosing players if this bullshit doesn't get fixed soon.
>>
So, I started with this one about a week ago and been quite happy with the progress. I'm running a Lightning Arrow build, currently lv42 on Act 4, managed to beat the Ascendancy Trial on the Encampment, and have quite a nice amount of uniques, some I've bought on poe.trade (4Link Death's Harp, 4Link Maligaro's Virtuosity), some I've been gifted (Karui Ward, another Death's Harp, Foxshade, The Peregrine, Hyrri's Bite), some I've dropped (a better Hyrri's Bite).

Having a blast for now and hope I'll keep on playing for a solid amount of time. I haven't felt this good playing this style of ARPG since my D2 days. Sorry for blogging but I'm quite excited about the game for now.
>>
>>159588349
serves you right faggot, fuck you
>>
>>159588564
just a heads up, while it feels nice and powerful to have a bunch of uniques right now, it's usually a luxury to have more than 2-3 equipped as they typically lack stats such as life and resistances that is expected of a level-appropriate gear slot

if you ever start to hit a wall or struggle to cap your res, it's probably a sign you need to get rid of garbage like foxshade, peregrine, karui ward and so on which are fine leveling uniques but can't replace decent rares

Sure thing, will keep an eye on it. But I am a bit aware of their usability, since the few guides I've read have no mention of them, but mentions of Death's Harp and Maligaro's Virtuosity, which were the ones I've bought myself with the alches/fusings/chromatics I had gathered while leveling.

Quick question, but Drillneck is very recommended as a quiver. Is it worth it if I am not way into lategame with lots of arrow pierce chance? Should I go for one now?
>>
>>159590101
drillneck is really really good, end game tier but only if you have 60+% pierce chance at the very least, drillneck itself gives 10% arrow pierce chance, Pierce support gives 50% and Piercing Shots gives 40-50%

basically if you can afford drillneck *and* an open link for Pierce, go for it

a cheap and affordable alternative for LA is a rare quiver with life, crit chance, crit mult and WED

So why are ES/CI builds superior to life/armor/eva builds?
Is it "just" the chaos immunity and the way higher numbers of ES you can hit compared to life?
Or are armor and evasion just too bad mitigationwise?

I swaer if you dont delete this image right i swear
>>
>>159601251
There are multiple reasons for this,

first chaos immunity is nice as end game chaos damage can be a pain to deal with and not having to worry about chaos resistance frees up a lot of affixes on gear

second most of damage end game is elemental, against which armour does nothing and evasion only helps evading attacks

third, having a higher life pool protects you against burst damage and means an effective life leech especially with VP where the downside doesn't matter for ES

lastly, while life builds tend to have better mitigation, flasks mitigation can rival if not outright be better than any mitigation you can get from gear, pathfinder for example can get 30% PDR from a white basalt, better than a Lightning Coil

all those reasons add up to make BV CI PF one of the most stupidly broken builds in game

pretty fucking retarded observation as it implies all the filler +10 attribute nodes are somehow relevant to a tree's pathing

a more intelligent ratio to calculate would be number of clusters in relative proximity of a class and how often those are taken by said class

>>
>>159602253
minor differences doesn't change the fact that all caster builds are basically the same along with archer builds, totem builds, summoner builds, melee builds, trap builds, etc and so on

they all path through the tree in the same way. there's no point in having over a thousand useless passive points that nobody ever allocates, but at least it makes the game seem complicated which is appealing to a lot of people who are tired of games being too casual
>>
>>159601231
Armor does nothing against elemental damage, and is less effective against bigger hits. And bigger hits are the only real danger. You have to invest in both armor and health, and you still end up with less ability to absorb big dangerous hits, and you're literally 70% as tanky as an ES character vs ele damage.

Evasion is even worse off; evasion gives no mitigation at all, which means you have the worst performance against oneshots; ES can tank them, armor can mitigate them, but evasion just gets "% chance to not die," while also being stuck in the worst part of the tree for health and ES; Ranger basically has to go to the other side of the tree to get ES nodes that aren't 5% nodes or health nodes that aren't 4%; Pathfinder is the only reason ranger gets significant play, and if not for the ascendancy, the build (if it still existed) would use a more conveniently placed start.

So yes, armor and evasion are that bad. 30-50% more hit points provides defense against everything; armor and evasion do not.
>>
>>159601952
You're working under the assumption that everything needs to be somehow on a equal basis, there's no such thing, and there's no such intent by the designers.

Some skills are more powerful than others, this is intended, some skills are separated by tiers, this is also intended to force a natural progression of power. Some are utility skills and thus serve niche purposes.

Some uniques are for leveling purposes, some are for end game, obviously only a handful are going to be valuable if you consider end game.

Arguably one of the main selling points of PoE is that it gives you a vast array of choices, and it's up to you to determine which ones are optimal and which ones are not. Over time as players get better and global knowledged is refined, "optimal" paths start to appear and we get a handful of meta builds the masses flock to.

PoE doesn't have bad design or balance because garbage like Elemental Hit exists. It may have bad design or balance when broken shit like Blade Vortex is too obviously broken, as opposed to being a choice you have to weigh against others.

I think the PoE tree should be seriously revamped so damage and survivability sections are more obvious. Like make all the starting points similar to Scion with a big ass defense wheel.

This is pathetic, they just made another incinerate and recolored flameblast. Doesnt even look like a blade flurry

It looks more like Blade Vortex in front of you and it looks like it was originally designed to be a spell instead of Reave/Lacerate

>>159602490
no, what doesn't change is the fact that most of the time a class will stay within 3/7 parts of the tree (e.g. a templar will pick nodes in the templar, witch and marauder area) at most, so your retarded number of 1400 passives doesn't even apply in this context, at most it's 3*200 passives to consider for one class

and no shit some trees are "optimal" as long as you can define "optimal" balance between defense/offense

So how long has ES CI been superior like that?
Is there a chance life builds will be brought up to par in the future?
And do Marauder/Duelist/Templar builds only not take CI because its too far away on the tree?

ES has been better for a long time. If you were in the top side of the tree, the only reason to go life was cheaper gearing early in the league; ES was better later. Essences (and prophecies) have only made it easier; I recently "made" a 650 ES 5L for a little over 20c. Bought a cheap high ES regalia and a Jew's Touch.

There's no buffs on the horizon because GGG is retarded.

Yes. The only reason not to go ES is if you're not going to the top side of the tree. I can't wait to see someone run some meme-build with half a dozen Energy From Withins to make a CI build in the bottom half of the tree because it's just that much better.

CI is always superior but most people don't like the mechanics of it and some classes struggle to get ES nodes.

The life build meta appears when monsters don't rape you in one hit constantly or when GGG nerfs the total ES a player can get by like 5% and everybody loses their shit and/or the game shoots es gear at you.


Templar can go CI, any build a duelist CI does a shadow/witch can do better. Marauder is just screwed if it wasn't for memequake and memechief totems we would barely see a marauder.

>>159602780
The problem isn't that some choices are better than others, it's that some choices are straight up bad. It'd be one thing if there were tiers where the top tier can do everything well, and the next can do everything with a little trouble, and so on. Instead, most things that aren't top tier are legit bad and you can't do endgame things with the without spending 200 ex on taking it from "complete shit" to "this can kill shaper on the sixth portal." Most uniques aren't even "leveling items," they're worse than rares of a similar level. Some of them are worse than shit you could roll with a couple alts. Same for the passive tree; there are nodes which no sane build takes because they have so little value and are so far from anything else. There's no rhyme or reason for the placement of some things; placing shitty wheels in places where it's inefficient even to go near them is stupid.

If you eliminate the clusters that are so bad/inefficiently located that no one would reasonably take in a good build, guess what you're still left with 90% of the tree. The constraint of ~120 points still forces you to make decisions even if you play in shitcore. Buffing bad clusters doesn't eliminate that aspect: if BadCluster becomes GoodCluster1, you're still pitting it against GoodCluster2 at the end of the day and are forced to make a decision.

To me those complaints about the tree make no sense - the game doesn't sell you the skilldrasil as "hey here's 5000 passives and you can do ANYTHING as you allocate them randomly:", it's more of a subdued, "if you wanna achieve some specific goal, you have about 100-120 points to find the optimal path P from starting point S." If max character level was 200, it would be another story, but with only 100 points? you better make sure everything is optimized, and that's why shit builds hit a wall at level 85-90 because they're actually level 70-75 in terms of efficiency.

To add on to this, if the "optimal" paths were so clear-cut, we wouldn't have to review horribly crooked trees here every day. The reason so many players choose to copypaste streamer builds is that not every choice is obvious. If you take a generic non-crit aoe spellcaster tree, you might get a vague idea of what clusters/keystones to not skip, and so you get the trunk of your tree, but not the smaller branches that define how well your character performs end game. The point of divergence after 60-70 points is why even a shit build can clear Dried Lake, but will start to struggle once it hits maps.

Who cares about skill tree optimization, it's not going to fuck up a build that fucking hard because you wasted a skill point and missed out on 2% more increased life

You know what's fucking wrong with the tree? How irrelevant it actually is, the same with Ascendancy. You know what build you play, you know what to spec, you know what Ascendancy is best - wow nice choice but here's what stops builds and people and makes or breaks builds more. Uniques and currency to fund a build. Your build isn't strong your fucking gear is 10x stronger. Any fucking retard could make a tree similar to yours and it'd work just as fine with the same gear. The only thing that jumps out of the tree are keystones which dramatically change playstyles or shift your focus on your build to make it look 'clever' besides stacking life and damage. Even some of those aren't as convoluted as they should be.

Don't miss, no crits? Easy I'll take it. I'm ES based but I don't have life? Wow just stack ES make the game simpler than it should be. Go Blood Magic and you ignore mana. You're removing aspects of a game in favor of another.

Meanwhile stuff like Avatar of Fire is unused which actually requires people to think on how to use it. Or Point Blank, it adds another layer of calculation instead of removing something from the game altogether.

>>159606741
My dream would be that they give more clusters interesting "capstone" effects that, even if you can't quite build around them, could be worth traveling for. Take the Dirty Fighting cluster, for example. That 25% chance to poison bleeding enemies is something I'd like use on it's own as a supplement to a bleed-heavy build.

Instead of BadCluster vs GoodCluster, which is a no-brainer, it should be GoodCluster1 vs GoodCluster2, with the decision being based on the "extra" that those two clusters give. Is it worth it to travel 1-2 extra points for this cluster, which has a more relevant capstone than this other, closer cluster? This path to something I need costs 1 point more, but it lets me take a health cluster with this cool effect rather than this other one, maybe I can try it out.

this is not an attack is a spell !
that scales off of weapon damage and attack speed !

It's not that PoE is a loot based game, it's that wealth directly affects PoE because it's online and has player interaction. People just buy their end-game gear most of the time from other players. Sure you pick up gear in PoE but when the end-game content is designed around super high end builds then you gotta wonder how many people even reach maps and how that affects player retention. Meanwhile other ARPGs have gear that scales fine but PoE suffers because of its design for difficulty. Like how many people have actually done Shaper? Even 'good' builds don't do Shaper, people who do reach map how many have reached Shaper?
