Reminder that if you didn't play the beta, then you're at a serious disadvantage economically in 3.0. Beta players will have already mapped out the game and atlas, discovered broken interactions and kept them secret for future abuse and market cornering. You will never succeed in 3.0 if all you know about beta was the trickle information you saw on reddit because you will always be at least one week late in the information race and fall behind further and further

Someone on reddit points out that ES Atziri's splendour now has near the max ES roll a rare can have.

Guess it's not quite a trash drop if you get it instead of axe/gloves now. Vertex is probably still garbo.

It's not like any of those things are hard to get

>>184273839

That only applies to regular players. I would burn out so fast on beta that it would hurt my total progression.

ive only been playing beta for the past 2 weeks and im already bored of it. the first time doing the new acts is fun since you dont know whats gonna happen but the majority of your time is still maps and its still boring shite. im hoping the new uniques they introduce arent all complete turds like the ones they announced so far. otherwise league is kill one week in for me

You can't evade hits anymore

Now you take your evade chance precentage from the damage and you take the hit as damage over 5 seconds

Which acts will come out with this new patch?

>>184273908
Im just using items that are reasonable to have within the first week. Everything besides the empower isnt that hard to get for someone that plays 12-16 hours a day. The base numbers on DP are so absurd that youll do fine with a 120 life chest and a shitty staff.

The numbers are still good with an IW gem or anything in place of empower and a +2 Chaos staff which is a few chaos at most.

>>184273908
I'll take RMT and JSP for 500 Alex.

>>184274474
also. map bosses are definitely 100% only gonna be killed once by everyone whos not a complete shitter. you could clear another map by the time you kill 3.0 bosses.

>>184274665
You realize they will make map drops so rare from regular mobs you will never sustain yellow maps if you don't kill bosses. This is GGG we are dealing with here they won't buff boss loot at all they will simply remove map drops from regular mobs.

>>184274524
>Evade just lets you burn a portion of damage taken as a DoT
That's actually an interesting "fix" that could work.

How should GGG fix Hierophant?

this is what I propose:

>scrap all the totem talents and the niche talents
>replace them with more talents related to mana manipulation

for example, your skills gain 1 extra projectile for every 1000 maximum mana you possess.

or whenever you lose 1% of your maximum mana, you gain 1% movement speed for 10 seconds. Successive stacks do not refresh the duration.

>>184274542
>someone that plays 12-16 hours a day

is this a meme or do you faglords actually play that much? my bony ass gets sore after 2 hours max then i gotta lie down and watch some daytime dramas

>>184274895
Hierophant is fine. Literally all they need to do is replace the reduced mana cost lines on Sanctuary of Thought with something useful.

I think it's time GGG addressed the 2-handed problem. For a long time 2h shitters have been enjoying both the benefits of a 6-link while at the same time they have available the best form of mitigation in the game, health, in the form of Kaom's. Thus, i propose from now on 2h weapons to be able to roll only two different 3-links

>>184275420

You're going about it wrong. If you want the highest potential up-time on IC, you need to be expending those Power Charges too. I've mentioned it here before, but it's very much possible to hit a few hundred times per second using only Spells to take advantage of that shit.

>>184275282
even if it were a good idea(it's not) it would take GGG 6 years to implement it, and then another 6 years to properly balance it

>>184274542
You'll probably be waiting on someone to actually get their masters to 8 if you're putting in that many hours. Softcore crafters have been getting it done in under a week, but I think hardcore crafters still take two. There are just more people feeding crafters their wild masters on softcore.

>>184275661
Its possible, I wont really mind using a +2 for 1-2 weeks though. The +3 really doesnt add much until you get at least a level 2-3 Empower.

New bandits rewards are:
Alira: 5 mana regeneration/sec, 20% critical strike multiplier, 15% all elemental res

Kraityn is 6% increased attack speed /Increased cast speed / 3% attack dodge / 6% Movement speed

Oak is 1% life regeneration/second, 2% physical damage reduction, 20% increased physical damage

Eramir: 2 passive points

Which one does your build choose and why?
https://strawpoll.com/zhwdh8sg

Where was the build that did millions of DPS against shaper and had 25000 ES again

>>184277930
Eramir. Mana regen and crit are useless for me, 6% cast speed isnt that great, and life regen is worthless because of VP.

>>184277802
What exactly do you plan on replacing that with? You can get Revenge of the Hunted and end up with the same % of life but less strength.

Here, I'll give you a small hint.

>>184277930
>2% damage reduction
is this a joke

>>184277930
The only options are Kraityn and Eramir. Ill be going with Eramir 99% of the time though.

>>184278215
it's pretty good considering it's passive
like having half an endurance charge that doesn't go away no matter what

>>184277930
Eramir.

>>184278215
It stacks with basalt, endurance charges and other sources. The more you stack the more effective it is. 2% damage reduction at 50% reduction is a 4% reduction in damage taken. 2% reduction at 80% reduction is 10% reduction in damage taken.

>>184278360
It's funny too cause 5 flat Mana Regen is actually useless for most MoM builds since most take very little Mana Regen Rate nodes and just stack a ton of Mana.

>>184278629
it doesn't stack additively
it's always 2%

These bandit rewards are fucking useless

>>184278208
2 jewels + whatever
not sure about this but I'd also cut whole bm branch and get mom cluster + witch aoe cluster
same ehp for better qol

>>184278629
pretty fallacious considering no one really reaches 50% pdr let alone 80% pdr and if they do, then they might as well use the 2 passive points for say 10% extra life

>>184278795
same ehp and lower damage*

>>184278840
Name a build that, at the end of its 110 point tree, has "2 points for 10% extra life"

Why is Storm Call even a thing. It has the most pointless gimmick that just makes it tedious to play.

Vaal Storm Call is what regular Storm Call should be, maybe with a cooldown+power charge override, or just a really long cast time, and VSC should be reworked to just be an over the top version of that, with AoE impacts over a much wider area.

>>184280346
So you realize Dark Pact is likely to be a pure int skill right? Youll need about 160 int for it.

so what auras exactly?

>>184281274
Enfeeble, Anger

way better than 500 life

>>184281658
Yeah ill just use CwDT Enfeeble or Orb of Storms CoH. BM nodes are worth almost 1K life though, not 500.

>>184278215
It's half an endurance charge, which cost 2 nodes, it also gives 20% inc phys damage which is also roughly what a node should be. Then the 1% regen is just on top of it.

so which streamer is /ourguy/?

>>184281985
the question is do you really fucking care about all that split stuff, it may be worth 2 skill points but it's all over the place that your build may not value 1% regen or 2% phys damage reduction

>>184281985
noone uses endurance charges for a reason though

Youre tree helped me out though, made me realize that Chaos damage on the top right wasnt really worth it. Ended up getting more AoE, ~30% damage, and 15% more health. Its 5 jewels but youre sitting next to multiple health and damage nodes to fill out while youre waiting to get them.

i am coming from titan quest and grim dawn, where i played ranged builds that had spammable and high damage skills (bow haruspex and fire strike demolitionist respectively), and am attempting to recreate something similar in poe. i was thinking of a caustic arrow focused occultist, but really have no idea and am blindly scrambling about

>>184290441
theres only 2 things you need to do:
1. pick a source of survivability
2. pick all the damage modifiers that work with your skill

For an occultist, you'd probably want hybrid energy shield/health with Mind over Matter. So pick all of the nearby passive skills related to health, energy shield, or MoM.
Caustic Arrow is a projectile and is Chaos Damage, so you'd also want all the skills related to projectiles and chaos damage

just be efficient with your skill point usage. don't waste 5 points on +10 int nodes just to get a minor damage increase

What the heck did you just gosh darned say about us? I'll have you know we have people with level 100 HC characters and we've multiple famous community members who secretly work for us. I've personally been involved on several raids on what people call "the maps" and our QA team has over 1000 confirmed hours of PoE experience combined. We are all experts in PoE and test the substantial work we put into each change, each of which is simultaneously being considered in the big picture for every single other change we could ever think of because we don't make mistakes, young man.

You are nothing to me but the lowest possible form of a costumer. You want to play for free? I'll withhold QoL from you until you beg to pay for it like the little helpless rat you become when you are trapped on my skinner box. As we speak, I am contacting my secret network of Twitter, Facebook and Reddit blockbots and banbots and your social media life is done for; you better prepare for the storm and say goodbye to your internet friends forever while you still can, maggot. I can be anywhere, anytime, and i can nerf your non-crit build in 700 different ways if i feel like. Not only i am extensively trained in every aspect of the game I created, but I have access to my brother Jay Wilson's entire arsenal of D3 design notes and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable builds off the face of Youtube. If you only could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have bought some MTX to quench my rage. I will keep making Path of Exile great again and you will learn to like it and you will learn to enjoy paying for the things you've learned to take for granted when you went behind my back and bought a jap visual novel so you could pretend that someone in the world loved you. You goddamn little nuisance.

Why not take MoM if you are Berserker? It seems such a good use of the 1-3% mana leech. One could even craft Blood Magic support on a 3 gem level staff, if being oom'd is too scary.

i do think the top chaos circle is wasted though

>>184295640
then you have to take mana nodes, and mana nodes don't scale your damage or survivability as well as pure life does

it's just a waste of points on a build that has almost 0 intelligence, therefore 0 mana

Why are you guys so intent on using staves for DP?
Initially using something like the 200 life Lioneye's Remores + whatever 6 linkable armour.
There is a lot of offensive/defensive options for the 1-h weapon.
It's going to be such a smoother start, and I don't believe such a build is limited to a mandatory +3 gem level link for damage (like SRS).
There must be use for 6 additional sockets that outweighs 150 or so life.

post yours then, if you're so great

hint: you won't, because you're a pussy bitch

>>184296526
This is theorycrafting max potential. Obviously you'd start with a chest, since you won't be getting a Kaom's Heart for a few days unless you're an RMTing shitlord.
You'd transition to a 6L+2 Chaos staff when you get your Heart, then work towards a good 6L +3.
One's build progresses over time.

>>184296526
You need 4B/1R/1G, so getting that on any of the common life armors is going to be a pain in the ass. I may play 1H/Shield if I get lucky with some other chest though, until I get a +3 of course.

It just seems like its going to be significantly easier to grab a 5L staff and roll +2 on it and wear some 130 life chest or one of the uniques until you can buy the Kaoms cards.

>>184296526
Cherrubim+Lioneye's only loses 200 life in exchange for 6 sockets and 80% chaos damage, plus whatever value you get out of a 1hander

it's definitely another viable choice, but the retards in this general are unable to think for themselves so they will just call it shit until a streamer uses it

>>184296142
The idea was that the 4 MoM nodes would scale your suitability much better than 4 nodes progressing towards more life.

I imagine you minimum would have 1.4k mana from the MoM nodes, only. As you would have 100+ in order to equip necessary gems.

Boosting a level 20 DP up to level 23 only gives it about 20% more damge, you usually get a bit more from 3 levels?

>>184296526
when i originally saw dark pact I was immediately thinking dual apep's, which adds a shitton of flat chaos and cast speed, and the skill has no mana cost so there's no downside. You would have to use the chest then though, which almost certainly also means wearing an ES chest, which doesn't work great for the build.

there are definitely other options, but coloring is generally such a bitch.

It wasn't as intended, though. They kept wanting to remake characters/bring people in, and were like "well just make a new character".
They didn't try to learn anything about the game, from builds, to items, or how currency works, or the lore. One of them actually got annoyed that I was listening to one of the malachai speeches while we were waiting for another friend to catch up, instead of going 20+ levels down to clear all that players quests, despite both of them knowing about the EXP penalty.
To put it in a /tg/ format, they were minmaxing little murderhobo shits who just wanted Big Damage, but they didn't care enough about the game to learn how to do big damage so they just kept doing early game where it's pathetically easy even without understanding anything about the game.

I do that now, yeah.
You can't play with IRL friends any other way, even if they're ahead of you. Especially if they're ahead of you.

Surely it will work

how could anyone kill uber atziri before ascendancies?

just dont get hit lol

snapshotting

>>184307357
That's probably stretching it a bit thin, Anon. That said, you'd probably want a Doomfletch's Prism and to run Wrath+Anger.

>>184307760
Snap shotting in invasion, no one killer her in beyond, 100% immunity to damage in bloodlines, max block and skill in tempest and poison in talisman

>>184307760
Shotgunning. I think that was also back when everyone was a sporkler.

>>184307760
ci zo tanks

>>184307760
triple dipping + snapshotting
even worse balanced than before
mjolner voll uber discharge
CoC anything

take your pick, titziri was toast

>>184308129
>no one killed her in beyond
Then why were her Uber drops available in small quantities?

Hyris ire
Herald of ice
Ice bite
Idk what I'm doing
it sounded cool in my head

>>184308129
>no one killer her in beyond

either someone did, multiple times and kept it secret to RMT the drops, or a GGG employee magicked items into existence and sold them to RMT sites

Is the balance better now or worse? Was GGG get mocked as hard as they are now?

>>184308516
Pretty good on iceshot raider actually.

>>184308563
You must be delusional to think that the RMT side is not run by GGG. They were kept alive in the early days by RMT, not cosmetics. Being anti-RMT is a new thing because Blizzard fuck up D3 auction house

>>184308615
its been VERY bad since ascendancies came out

>>184277930
don't answer or they'll change it again

>>184308615
GGG was not mocked as hard as they are now. Back then, they were legitimately balancing the game. Excluding Poison, the game was probably most balanced in Talisman. Which, ironically, is when Skyforth were added.
From there-forward, Energy Shield and especially Chaos Inoculation builds become not only cheaper, but considerably more common in the Meta. It just kept building until we got here because they sat on their hands the entire fucking time for no reason.

Back then you could literally cast all your auras, unspec your aura nodes and put them into something else

The game was a joke back then, but nobody really noticed

>>184308851
>>184308790
If GGG is nerfing ES now, why are they being ridiculed so bad? Beside the Dots (which they fucking deserve it) and the charge (critfags also deserve it), I can't honestly see what's wrong with the new balance

>>184309098
because they were supposed to buff life and fix melee and fix armour and evasion you fucking retard

>>184309098
because ES is only usable for like 2 builds now. even summoners go life based because of the baron meme

>>184309098
They've only nerfed things without realizing half the abilities in the game relied on the broken mechanics to have any semblance of viability.

The balance was way worse in the past. People complained just as much when blatantly broken mechanics got balanced. People will always complain about nerfs.

Legacy was the farewell league tbqh

Whatever abomination 3.0 turns out to be, just be glad you played PoE when it was good before it died to consolization.

>>184309156
But life is already fucking strong. You can't even one shot Berserker anymore because all of them is running around with 7k life and Fortify and AA. Melee is also strong with the new supp gem. Evasion is in an ok place. You get 40% dodge to attack and spell for 4 points.
Only armour is bad but it is too complex to change it now

>>184309098
im fine with crit, es, and dots getting nerfed

they went a bit far with ES so now its useless

the charges and ailments changes was absolutely fucking stupid though

if they actually seriously thought those were good changes it really calls into question how much they play their own game

>>184309434
>melee
>good

>evasion
>ok

stop posting

i hope they give 2handers 2 cosmetic skin slots so I can transfer a 1h and shield onto them

All 3 of my builds so far are 2handers and I think shields are generally cooler looking
