I hate how nowadays every big shot streamer has to have that "pro" mic setup as if they're something more than some nerd in his room playing video games and asking for donations for a living

This is why alk with his $5 mic and keyboard from 1999 will always be my guy, just gaming, none of that pretend-I'm-pro shit

>>175891830
HAHAHAHAHHA.... these fucking double dip changes..... good lord glad I haven't been playing this piece of shit game.

deader then a doorknob.

favorite build go

get off alk's dick, even he would be embarrased

alkUpset

*farts*

I enjoyed scorching ray more than i thought i would

also ngamahu cycloner was fun but dem aoe

ek nova with headhunter felt pretty good

wb + blender and wb + spook toss are my funnest setups

who the fuck is an alk?

lol these patch notes, lordy. This game is going to be ZZZZzzzzzz, no damage builds

I was fucking around levelling a self cast incinerate with MoM as hierophant, two consuming darks and an infernal mantle

damage was actually decent, and looking at path of building you can get like 900k single target poison dps with perfect gear, and probably more if you go CI instead of life+MoM

died in lab at 73 though

I feel like the chances are pretty high that GGG will come out with a nice gmp jewel for incinerate though, and like freeze pulse it will become rather good

>>175893583
oh wait a second, I take that dps number back, it wasn't dual curse with vuln

There are tons of builds that do lots of deeps without fucking double dipping meme

don't worry sheeple, mathil will come up with a way for you to still deal 7-digit dps with your 4k life crit build

>still sucking GGG's cock this hard
>hating on mathil

how's it feel to be fat and alone?

Hard to say since I've played so much this league including grinding to 100, any sort of RNG just averages out when you play that much. I'd say the single greatest RNG roll I got this league was divining my tidebreaker once and getting perfect in every roll. This was in the first week too.

13 ex
11 divines

>>175903876
Does that thing even have any real use? End-game at least.

>>175904675
If you're talking end game, not really. A Disfavour or a GG rare is better DPS, and stunning is a gimmick. The easy endurance charge generation is pretty nice though for mapping, fuck having to warcry to keep them up.

the only thing bad about it is technical. it shits on every game in the genre and it's not even close. and honestly diablo 2 @ 800x600 25 fps looks better than most games in existence so it doesn't really lose bad there either.

>all of the goats in the Gorge boss room decide to ALL jump on me at the same fucking time despite there being over 20 other possible targets
This is actual fucking cheating.

you mean you dont like potting, don't like immunes and don't like having to choose between inventory space or charms or was there some other way you want to reveal how big of a baby you are

I had to play poe in the lowest resolution possible full screened on a 1920x1080 monitor because my GPU died and I couldn't get a replacement for a couple weeks, this was back in darkshrine league I think.

It wasn't really that bad of an experience.

look dude i have nothing better to do than play the game until 3.0 comes out

i might as well become the king of dead leagues in that time

play hc ssf or fuck off to be honest

how do you know someone is clinically retarded? when they tried to argue there was a choice to be made between inventory space and d2 charms

d2's brilliance is that it forcibly solved the inventory management issue by both making everything but runewords worthless and filling your inventory with mandatory stat sticks, thereby making sure players would play optimally with nothing but a 4x2 inventory slot left open on top of their cube

if you ever wonder why that game was botted to death, there you have it

>>175919864
i mean that potions refilling when you kill stuff is a much better mechanic, you can't even pretend that damage immunities are a good idea, and that tradeoff ended up not being a tradeoff, everyone just filled their inventories with charms

>>175920076
I mean, he was trolling, but yeah

>>175920159
>i mean that potions refilling when you kill stuff is a much better mechanic
no not at all. i like rejuvs and belt slots. you like a console casual concession.

> you can't even pretend that damage immunities are a good idea
waaah my shit build doesn't work. you want to cry about something? iron maiden was broken. immunes opened up tons of gameplay aspects. grouping, mercs, runewords, alternate skills, etc

> everyone just filled their inventories with charms
lolwut? nobody did this outside of pvp where you need no inventory space. kys

so how are you hoping to make money when 3.0 hits

I might take a break from rushing and just identify fucking everything i get

holy fuck you're dumb

there's just pretending to be retarded trolling, and there's genuine retardation like catshitter

first of all i'm not retarded and you know i'm not retarded you just say i'm retarded because you don't like me because i'm better at video games than you

full rejuvs were engaging gameplay

forced playstyle/grouping because of damage immunities was engaging gameplay

picking up a flawless gem instead of +20 life small charm was engaging gameplay

letting your a robot play your character for your was engaging gameplay

inventory management in a game where you have no limited tries like maps in poe, a free bag of holding with your horadric cube, and weightless gold

interesting concept

>i'm gonna take some inane aspects of the game then cry like a bitch about it

poe would greatly benefit from elemental immune monsters because you can always use your chaos or stone golem for chaos or phys damage on your spellcaster or ask your friend for a carry

think about all the possibilities it would open

yeah if golems in poe were a fraction as cool as mercs in poe i'd agree and there are immunes in poe already

I really like all the thought that goes into filling my belt with insta 100% life potions instead if regular over time recovery

luckily the same playstyle was conveniently implemented in poe too with VP leech so I can keep being a braindead player

a +50 main stat charm or an id scroll tome? tough decision, I'll have to check up a guide for this

how about this, charms that increase my gold find ability so I can find more gold and use it for engaging gold sinks like gambling or repairing my shield

I like collecting a 4 slot belt and looting purple pots

Luckily I can do this without rejuvs with drac's or pally redemption or necro life tap

whoops i'm out of alterations to summon my stone golem

well better go back to normal dried lake and farm some gold so I can summon my stone golem and it can score 2 more hits against this monster that is immune to my skills I spent 90 passives to improve

engaging gameplay

>>175920375
>immunes opened up
No, immunes forced.

>nobody did this
Sure, nobody played as efficiently as possible. There's also nobody running shaped strands in PoE either

>>175921178
>No, immunes forced
Right, making you play the game by its rules is forcing you to. Fucking tard.

>Sure, nobody played as efficiently as possible
It's not efficient to not be able to pickup items outside of softcore pvp. Stop posting you retarded faggot.

the most efficient pve playstyle was literally a full inventory of charms and a horadric cube for the worthless junk you would throw into it

and once you realize all the loot is worthless outside of runes and perfectly rolled uniques, the only logical conclusion is to let a bot do the work for you

Brah if you only kept space for a cube you're a tard. There's nothing else to post about. Mobs get 1-shot with just anni+torch alone. Gheeds and mf charms take up less than half the inventory. I seriously hope you didn't play much Diablo 2. I honestly feel sorry for how fucking dumb you are.

imagine having to ask assistance to kill a white monster because the game designer thought it would be funny to make it immune to 99% of your damage except auto-attacks

imagine defending that cancerous playstyle with your mouth still full of blizzard semen

that's what it's like to be catshitter

imagine if the joke secret level where you slaughter cattle that are immune to nothing ends up being the most popular area of your game because players don't find the idea of relying on their mercenary to kill white monsters all that appealing

>oh look an immune, i'll use fireball instead of forb while my merc finishes the mob off
>gee that was such bad game design
>i'm going to autistically ramble about this trivial event for the next 100 posts because it's really really bad game design to use two skills and my merc to kill a mob

Immunities are shit and if you think they are innovative or fun then you're as stupid as you are delusional.

let me just twiddle my thumbs while my pet auto-attacks those fire immune goblins

I wield the power of inferno itself and can end prime evils with a flick of my wrist but for some reason those fire immune goblins are cannot be damaged no matter what I do and so I accept this as a necessary game design

I can't think of any more engaging gameplay, this is the pinnacle of arpg

immunes you couldn't 1shot were extremely uncommon

but pls do go on about how shit you are

THEN WHY THE FUCK DOES THE MECHANIC EXIST IN THE FIRST PLACE????????????

what's the optimal free inventory space:gold find charms ratio? I really need to optimize my gold/hour returns so I can make sure I always have enough to resurrect my pet

without him I am helpless against the 500 fire goblins generated in this area let alone this extra fast extra strong extra faggot rare that spawned with triple immunities

bringing back reflect would solve everything

>>175921293

instantly balanced + opens up interesting itemization

hire me GGG i'm a game design god

why does anything exist. just give me a strawman to beat to a pulp in a little 1x1 room with all the skills in the game at my command or else it's just bad game design

>find charm
>oh shit this helps my build
>be you
>find charm
>oh shit i'm an autistic assburgerlors now my brain is hemmoraging

dude mercenaries open up so many possibilities

instead of having your character become useless for no apparent reason or prior warning in random areas of the game, now it can become useless but with the saving grace of an auto-attacking pet

now that's what I call real difficulty

>>175922090
I don't want immunity in PoE you shit eating faggot. It's almost like Diablo 2 is an entire game and you can't just arbitrarily pluck mechanics from it and have it work well in an entirely different game.

who cares if you're an elementalist and spent all your passives or gear specializing in elemental damage

just use a bladefall gem for those elemental immunes

it's not that difficult, are you that bad at the game?

on the positive side, we won't repeat any of those mistakes in the sequel of the game we're making, after all we've had more than a decade to polish it

poe ain't a polished version of diablo 2, not by a long shot.

>>175922227
Why not, they're a great design that open up "tons of gameplay aspects. grouping, mercs, runewords, alternate skills, etc"

If immunities actually affected the players experience in
>extremely uncommon
situations, then what does the mechanic accomplish?

The mechanic either does nothing or is annoying and in the way.

relying on your auto-attacking pet is engaging gameplay

having all your choices as a player be rendered meaningless for extended periods of time is engaging gameplay

asking for help from a friend to kill white monsters is engaging gameplay

collecting purple potions is engaging gameplay

I honestly cant tell if people are being sarcastic or not.

I think everyone but one retard here is on the side of 'immunities are shit, get em outta here.'

>>175922403
If they wanted to make the game focus more on grouping, usage of a secondary skill, mercs as a means of immune breaking, runewords, etc then yes, why not but that's not PoE you fucking retard.

>>175922407
It's almost like if you build correctly it's uncommon to run into tough immunes and if not it's a tell you suck dick at diablo 2 and should probably stop telling others about it because you sound more retarded with each new post

just make a hammerdin that rapes 99% of game content because almost nothing is immune to magic in the game and nothing in the later areas is

jesus christ, you can't be this stupid? who told you to roll sorceress, here have this triple immune extra strong extra fast rare, at least you can rely on your pet to kill it so don't complain

it's called difficulty you nooblet, if you don't like it wait until you see the sequel we're making

there are immunes in poe that can render an entire build worthless

pls kys, you're the dumbest person alive

pick any form of damage, specialize in it, you can now kill atziri on a 4L with a brand new level 70 character

pick any form of damage, specialize in it, you now have to rely on your auto-attacking pet to kill white goblins

brilliant game design, pack it up boys the arpg genre has been figured out

>>175922654
I'm asking you a question,

What does the immunity mechanic accomplish if it only affects your experience in extremely uncommon situations?

In those extremely uncommon situations, the emotion felt is only frustration or annoyance.

How is this seemingly anti-fun mechanic innovative or engaging gameplay?

why even bother giving players the illusion their choices matter

just give them set and spell scaling off weapon dps, players are casuals and don't like thinking

we'll sell billions off the name alone, so who gives a shit

That's the part you build towards. For example when you're low level with poor gear and a poor build, you need to farm some levels and gear. Or maybe you decide to group up to get past the obstacle. Or maybe you find some piece of gear your Merc can use that makes you breeze past immunies in the meantime while you yourself gear up to clear them. It's a nice little progression curve that perfectly compliments the exquisite item game.'

>anti-fun mechanic
Sounds like your idea of fun is attacking a defenseless object with colorful objects.

GGG stopped catering to hardcore when permanent allocation became a thing. It was either remain elitist hardcore and barely scrape by or casualize and flourish. It's a reductive dichotomy and I'm not justifying that it ought to be either way but every league has slippery sloped further and further towards casualization. Knowhing that, any new developments shouldn't come as a surprise if one has looked at the trajectory of things.

>>175923391
because everyone is for burn / poison / freeze / etc immunities in poe

>>175923619
a common immune in diablo 2 is no more challenging than a blue pack in poe

really like that part where I need to buy a t1 unique to equip on my animate guardian so it can auto-attack cold immune sea witches faster

that really makes poe's gear progression so much more meaningful to me

dude who cares if your build is shaper viable

if we decide your fire spellcaster can't kill those fire immune monkeys, then you can't kill them, period

it's called progression curve, you retard

>>175923091
>there are immunes in poe that can render an entire build worthless

status immunities aren't even close to dumpstering on builds like d2's immunities do

>having to use a different skill to kill a mob that can't be damage by your main skill is bad
>falling asleep while running the same area repeatedly is good
thanks guys poe is great

there's so much half-assed shit in poe that it drives me mad

so much untapped potential

example: raise specter STILL isn't bound to the gem

hey man, you got a level 100 character, could you help me clear this area? I'm struggling with those lightning immune lvl 67 bats

no can do kiddo, I'm a shit player and decided to specialize in lightning only

maybe my stone golem can help though

if you have poor gear and poor build, just farm sea witches, they're not immune to fire

or ask a friend for help

or put better gear on your animate guardian

or start leveling a bladefall gem

if you don't have a rotation of 5 skills to kill any combination of white monsters, you're probably stupid and you shouldn't play poe

the opportunity cost of an offlink attack is way too high to justify

would just skip the content at that point

>PoE has a shitty version of mercs so buttmad baby has to downplay immunes
lol kys

rather than have difficulty result as an organic mix of gradually more difficult combination of monster affixes or monster types, why don't we just slap damage immunities on some of them

this will force players to farm specific areas their shit non-magic builds are relegated to or wait for their auto-attacking pet to clear white monsters

this game design choice will really highlight the depth of builds players are allowed to enjoy

>Blues and Rares are now sometime immune to certain types of damage.

Why in the fuck would I stop to try to deal with a pack of mobs (or mob if rare) if I can't kill it near instantly like everything else?

I'd just skip it, kill the boss of the map, throw the next map in and go.

Oh no, I missed out on probably nothing.

Gratz the mechanic does nothing but remove a a few mobs from some maps you run if you're unlucky.

Great mechanic 10/10 engaging and fun really makes you think bout those builds you make.

Reflect does a better job than immunities.

>oh no some buttfuckme uncommon triple immune stone skin haste a million billion life and damage mob in Diablo 2

Why in the fuck would I stop to try to deal with it when I can't kill it near instantly like everything else?

I'd just leave the game and be right back where I started in two seconds flat minus that one immune.

Oh no, I missed nothing.

Gratz the mechanic does nothing but add a few extra choices that PoE doesn't have. No biggie, I'll just fall asleep drooling on my keyboard clearing the same area repeatedly it's that easy.

Iron Maiden does a better jon than immunities in my 1.10 build character

so a mechanic that nobody enjoys or praises, that is utterly lazy in design, counter-intuitive and not a reflection of the level area is fine because it's uncommon or because you have mastered the art of putting your head into the sand and ignore it

brilliant game design I must say

>I'll keep speaking in absolutes while ignoring everything they said and adding maximum hyperbole along the way, that'll surely show them the light

Iron Maiden

Required Level: 12
Prerequisites: Amplify Damage
Details: Causes the physical, melee damage inflicted by the target to reflect back to themselves. Does not effect non-physical damage, or non-melee attacks.

damn, this really made me rethink my hammerdin build
gotta be careful not to mix in auto attacks with my giant hammers of quadrillion magic damage or the game might punish me for my original never seen before build of pure magic damage build

PoE is good you see because there's no immunes so like instead of utilizing group play, various skills, equipped mercenaries, crafted items to overcome obstacles, etc

You just like spam 1 skill with no regard for anything else. It's so much better than Diablo 2 because of this.

I dunno how I ever managed to deal with these immunes what with conviction aura, mages and army of minions. Glad they didn't put them in PoE. Phew, that would just make the game impossible (like how Diablo 2 is)

immunities are a nazi mechanic promoted by the alt-right

D2 is godlike in many aspects like itemization, not recognizing this makes you a fucking shitter

>Utilizing group play
lol please im not going to play iwth other people in this shit optimized game no matter the mechanic you put on mobs. I'd rather quit than be forced into playing with other plays.

>various skills
Do people not already use certain skills for niche encounters? Wither totem, warcrys, decoys, movement skills, plenty of builds arn't 1 button spam builds. Although some are if thats what you want, hell some builds dont even require you to actively use a skill.

>equipped mercenaries
I'm not a summoner and I dont like shit AI pets while I play. I dont even like upkeeping golems, nty

>crafted items to overcome obstacles
what do you even mean by this? Gear swaps? People gear swap for niche situations all the time. Look at all the top lab farmers, they weapon swap while running then swap back for single target, people swap gems for single target vs clearing. Sibyls for niche elereflect encounters. changing your gear or setup based on situations happen all the time.

>etc
Please continue the list

>>175925243
Most sense spoken so far

it's good because the difficulty comes from randomized end game content with randomized end game mods that counter specific build archetypes you might not see if you stay in dried lake rather than expected monsters you will work around or ignore because they are expected

it's good because the difficulty comes from the combination of monster affixes and types, from magic packs to rares to bosses, not from arbitrary road blocks that says your input as a player is now to watch your pet auto-attack or roll the same magic damage build as anyone else

it's good because despite specialization being rewarded and not punished, every choice has an opportunity cost and characters that are all-in in one particular type of damage or gimmick or defense will struggle here and then, or be explicitly told to change their strategy or hit a wall

it's good because rather than pigeonholing players to group up with exp incentives or emulate the abilities of other classes through high end items, one can become self-sufficient since skills are not tied to classes

it's ironical you would use as an example a character that was a literal combination of other classes:
minions: necromancer skills
warcries: barbarian skills
teleport: sorceress skill
aura: paladin skill

for the modest price of full end-game gear, you no longer have to rely on others to kill white monsters and can now fully enjoy the botting experience! amazing game design

at least I can start to see why catshitter is so much of an incompetent retard in poe, a game that requires the bare minimum of thinking to be self-sufficient

not quoting anyone makes your autismal posts even more pointless

dude just use these runewords giving you the abilities of 4 other classes and you can enjoy being able to kill white monsters too

it's not that difficult, and it's good itemization because every player ends up with the exact same gear

honestly don't care about any of the new content 3.0 brings

i'm just waiting to see what GGG's new p2w gimmick will be

or how everything they add will also need to be designed to work well on console, thus confirming everyone's suspicions that the xbox port now dictates game development


i mean really, how many things has chris lied about? just about everything. he can't keep getting away with this

looking at the bright side, d3 necro is getting released soon so you can enjoy a game made for people like you

heard it has godlike itemization and set items too, you'll probably love it

The league with 3.0 will just be another inventory clutter league to push more stash sales as per usual.

He can and he will

how much are you paying to play this game again?

about $400 and im VERY entitled to have the developers do what i want

i've spent $0 but i'm regularly in the top10 of every HC league and i've won multiple demigods so my opinion is very important

and my opinion is this game is shit and GGG are scam artists

you're not special and you don't matter
your shitty unoriginal necro in d2 was not special and didn't matter
your dumbass opinions and thoughts don't matter

*quotes you*

I gotta be honest and say I don't like Path of Exile. From the archaic UI, to unintuitive gameplay mechanics, to the currency and other little things, I never got hooked into PoE the way I was with Diablo 2, and even Diablo 3 to some extent. I've tried to play PoE many times, always dropping before the end game.

Having said that, well, fuck me, it's really hard to still like Diablo after all this. Diablo 3 is a joke, and someone will always point out how "the amount of hours we all played the game should be enough" or "Diablo doesn't have a monetization system, so that's why they don't update as frequently", but that's all bullshit!

I still don't like a lot (a lot) of things in Path of Exile, but this is the true sequel to Diablo 2 and the best Action RPG at the moment, and that is comparing to Diablo 3 in it's whole existence.

I love the Diablo franchise, but the game, and Blizzard as a whole, is like that ex-girlfriend that you keep getting back to, even though you get burned and let down every single time. Not anymore. Enough is enough.

The Necromancer won't save Diablo. At this point not even an expansion would. Only Diablo 4 with a new direction, but I don't think Blizzard will ever do it. The Blizzard of today is not at all the Blizzard I fell in love with. "Fuck that loser" sounds about right.

omg omg i'm such a bitter loser please mommy dont burn my trendies or else also you owe me a stash tab

in D3, the Necromancer's iconic Corpse Explosion skill scales off... corpse life? NO of course not, that would make too much sense, it scales off your WEAPON DPS yes use that big scythe on your necro and your CEs will explode much harder because that's the extent of D3's depth, your ability to explode corpses is directly correlated with how hard your weapon hits

remember, a decade of game expertise went into this and you only have to pay $50+50 to enjoy it

isnt that good though, youd have a more consistent damage output

Gentlemen, how de we make 3.0 (((Fun)))?

That's another reason why Diablo 2 > PoE

>Do people not already use certain skills for niche encounters? Wither totem, warcrys, decoys, movement skills, plenty of builds arn't 1 button spam builds
Yes and these were all in Diablo 2 and then some. Diablo 2 was far more skill usage intensive than PoE.

>I'm not a summoner and I dont like shit AI pets while I play. I dont even like upkeeping golems, nty
I see your point coming from PoE as the summoner is dogshit compared to Diablo 2 but that's not a point against immunes nor a point in favor of PoE

>what do you even mean by this? Gear swaps?
Nope. Not even close. We're discussing immunes. So hurr I wonder what I mean by this, what can overcome immunes by crafting? Sounds like you've never played Diablo 2 or quit after encountering your first immune. In either case you're a retard.

>>175925973
Yeah it's better to have only two good item types rather than a whole plethora like Diablo 2 (Runeword, Crafted, Set, Unique, Magic, Rare can all be BIS). That way you can keep propelling your shitter tier complaint with immunes. How convenient.

would rather take a nap than entertain your stupidity any longer, catshitter

that guy who gets his shit slapped my immunes then dedicates his life to whining about calls other people stupid, how cute

should i equip this runeword which gives my character the ability to teleport across distances or a white piece of junk I found on the ground

that was the kind of tough decision you had to make in d2 that is unfortunately absent in poe

>everyone had to pick teleport
famous last words of a pally shitter who doesn't know how d2 works

everyone could thrive in d2 as long as they built their character intelligently*

*for example, check my necro with a t1 runeword to teleport, a t1 runeword to self-buff with warcries, a t1 runeword on my merc for a free aura, it worked because i built my character intelligently

I'm playing a game that sucks to play unless you have good items

Let's spend the next several generals splitting hairs about some trivial reason why

poe has non existent inventory management which speaks volumes about the lack of vision of GGG

at least in d2 you had to decided whether to leave space to pick up items or fill your inventory with gold find charms

great general guys

what if the poe lore happens in the same world as undertale but 100 years in the past

Diablo 2 had a small inventory due to technical constraints of server storage at the time.

And if I didn't farm hell ball with 9 skill lifers I was losing so much efficiency I couldn't even pickup a single item.

amusingly enough the entire d2 twitch community at this point revolves around 2-3 guys who speedrun the game because that's the only part of the game where immunities and a completely one-dimensional itemization are not completely intrusive

>>175947581


>the hd d2 remake will be given away for free like the sc1 remake

poe wont survive that

oh yeah everything actiblizzard has done about the franchise lately has been a real success

Or maybe an ancient game that revolves around gearing doesn't make for good twitch viewership because what's best to watch =/= best to play. Nah it's le immunities that rekt my toddler brain is why. They're all running from them!

i would literally pay $50 for a stream of a hammerdin doing baal runs 24/7

I was talking with a friend who plays PoE, and was asking them about how to build to play a spellsword who uses melee elemental mixed with ranged magic, and they said it's not really viable for late/endgame stuff. Are they correct in that? I don't really know what to build for that sounds fun. I was just doing whatever for my first playthrough as a witch, since it doesn't really matter at the default normal difficulty, and I just wanted to experience the story before I try actually building as a serious character.

Also, is Scion bad? They said that Scion isn't awful, but that she's basically not as good at each specific branch as the characters already in those, and that her ascendancy sucks. I still want to play her when I eventually unlock her, but still.

scion is god awful but she will get buffed to 1.3 overpowered levels in 3.0

>>175955005
Try out cyclone coc

>>175955005

maybe not. i guess you can build something like a cast on crit char or something cospris-based, so you are still technically melee but most of your damage comes from ranged spells

and yes scion is bad atm. there are very few legit builds that would be better off as scion, and those builds are shit
