it's not his fault that most players migrated to poe 2.
it was pretty obvious after phrecia that 3.26 would underperform.

>>527574958
Sorry for doubting your incompetence and thinking you had any sort of sincerity when you said you guys had your shit together again. I look forward to the continued new lows of this franchise.

anon.....

Let it be known that if it were up to an average PoE1 player, the game would involve zero negative (for player) effects, no debuffs, no detrimental effects, no trade-offs to be made, no decisions to be made, items would have one mod only (rolls either "good" or "bad"), gameplay would essentially be "click to start a cutscene of rapidly changing bright colours on the screen" (of course, no player interaction would be required during the viewing), at end of which a little table (nothing too complicated or mentally demanding) would show up, listing how many [BIG IMPORTANT CURRENCY ITEM]s were assigned to the player characters stash (they automatically would transfer there, no need to manually move them). A single click of a button would teleport the player character instantly to either a boss fight of their choosing or to a map-style content, where cutscene viewing would again take place, followed by the bing-bing-wahoo deposit screen, ad infinitum. League updates, sometimes, would consist of adding a NEW button to the boss/map content selector, which would remain unclicked for days after league launch, as PoE1 average players have no inherent curiosity nor drive towards experimentation. The second-button clicker statistical outliers would be mocked and ridiculed, as obviously doing so would impair the bing-bing-wahoo collecting. Then, in the second week, one of the Thought Leaders would start preaching the validity of the Second Button and the entire playerbase would abandon the original boss/map button clicking for the newly added one. Every league the same scenario would play out, in the same fashion. This is not only what average PoE1 player wants, this is what already is in place, up to a certain point.

If ARPGs are ever to make a comeback, these "people" must be driven out of game communities. And the only way to to do that is to kill the streamer Thought Leaders. 0.2 did a fine job with it's humiliation ritual, but this is just the first step.

Redpill me on Bannermaxing

I guess it's time to play WoW since ggg doesn't want me to play their based game

its over fuckin boring
idk why but not fun

>>527576879
Is this some retarded pasta by Jonathan dicksuckers? Poo2's problem is overt simplification of mechanics and slowing down the game. One portal maps and boss fights was one of the few good things GGG did with it, yet the retards removed it for Poo2, when redditors complained.

>>527576879
Negative effects are not a problem. The problem is GGG introducing new ways to fuck you in the ass every league, spreading your build defenses thin
>Oh, you are immune to elemental ailments? Too bad, this new one doesn't count! :^)
>That's a nice armor value you have there! Would be a shame if the new mechanic completely ignored it

I'm never leaguestarting melee again. I mean it this time. If you see me pobbing a melee build for 3.27, please shoot me in the head preemptively.

>>527577791
>>"poe1 is so much better because everything is viable and everyone plays something different!"
That was true until 3.15, and coincidentally, right before they started developing POE2

>>527531795
do they do any damage? I'd like to add them to my spooky guardian dom blow build idea

The difference is that there's 10x more skills and classes in poe1 compared to PoE2

tfw vaaled my ea gem down to 19

So... How they fix 3.26? Waiting for 0.3? Nerfing the shit out of T16.5 and Mercs? It feels so fucking boring.

>>527578428

>>527577867
the first 5 acts are hell as a melee. But from act6 to T17, you are a god

>>527578427
you're trying so hard to force this talking point and it just comes off as pure seethe.

>>527578757
They'll nerf some outlier mercs, MAYBE buff loot in them, and call it a league.
Phrecia was miles better than this shit, how the actual fuck....

>>527578427
in poe1 you make the builds
in poe2 ggg made the builds
in poe1 the average player is retarded an needs streamers to tell them how to play
in poe2 the game teaches new players to not think at all or to ever actually learn anything and just follow the yellow brick road
but poe2 players are even more retarded than poe1 players so even when builds are literally handed to them they still follow streamer slop
the result is the same
but where they started from and the journey they took is different, and that matters.

Has nothing to do with GGG. EU is nothing but third world countries and their network infrastructure is shit. It's bad routing all around. It's a common problem in a lot of games. You will say it's still happening when you connect to US servers. Well no shit the routing still has to go through your third world shit.

I don't really care whether it's "easy" (it's always been extremely easy)
it's just boring
nothing happens
you can't play your build
you don't find anything cool
there's no challenge
there's no variation
it's dogshit

Wait why are people hating on 3.26 now? poe 1 has been in an uptrend since Mark changed it in settlers and fixed almost everything. Merc league still good.
If you hate on it, you've probably played the game too much or simply don't really like the game period. Go do something else. It's fine. You're allowed to.

Th.. thanks. Goodbye forever poopoos, I'm finally free

Do you guys think ~15 divs is enough to reroll into a viper strike of the mamba pathfinder if I'm only using 5passive voices?

>>527580093
this and jeets just woke up so there's a lot of you

>>527579758
It's servers + GGG refusal to shake up the meta with a huge balance pass for a few years now.

Is EK still decent end game scaling if I can RMT it? I just want to do some Eternity Shroud shit again and I don't care how much it costs.

anyway, 3.26 is boring as fuck
same strat, almost same starter build
t16.5 also DOGSHIT

>>527579758
>now
It was designed to be a halfassed league, and that's after delays.
>simply don't really like the game period
Ah, same old, and yet bootlickers never understand that in fact we want to like the game that niGGGers try to ruin since 3.15

high redshift lyman-break TRVKE

>>527580324
The meta is more different now than it has been in years. You realize you don't have to play what a streamerfag tells you to play, right?

cant believe those sabotaging grifter developers didint remove shrines yet or the double shrine buff atlas node
fuckin faggots, i know you are reading this fuck you

>>527580526
T17's were a mistake and trying to normalize and force the dogshit, unfun mods with t16.5's isn't interesting.

3.26 new thing what?
memory? dogshit
new bosses? cheap as fuck

I assume 3.27 will be same shit level

>>527580604
The game is in a far better state now than in 3.15. The leagues between then and now were pretty grim though.
Seriously, you just don't like the game period but the dopamine keeps you here and you have nothing else to do with your life so you stay and complain.

>>527580683
>removing shrines
why

>>527580958
because they give player power with no down sides
thats the logic of those niggers always has been

>>527581031
downside is opportunity cost
Spending points into shrines means the minmax niggers cant spend points someplace else.
I always go into shrines to make farming less sweaty
If you're one of the tryhard trannies just dont spec into it

>>527579758
>poe 1 has been in an uptrend since Mark
PoE1 has been in an uptrend for longer than that. Settlers is just the peak, as GGG stopped PoE1's development there.

The problem with 3.26 is that the content is half assed and the mercs are overtuned. The game itself is great, but people were obviously hoping more, after a year of waiting. This is also supposedly a expansion, but definitely doesn't feel like it.

VFoS is fucking bait im dying in yellow maps i want fubgun to die

>>527576879
this is some insane trooncord copium. Do you ever recognize the insanity of making a manifesto like this ? Ever any self-reflection going on in that schizophrenic tranny-brain?

It's sunday evening. How are things looking, fellow pooeggers?

>>527582320

Does Dread Banner let you block even though you're not dual wielding, not using a shield, and not using a staff?

are you telling me 30% of players got baited

>>527582320
I've cleared the first set of memory maps with gear I mostly got in the campaign.

>>527582546
It's pretty terrifying when you consider GGG employees are skulking around in there, too. No wonder this company fell off so hard.

>level 86
>want to respec and change from Slayer to Champion but huge hassle
I'm about to just level up a new character instead this is such a pain in the fucking ass

how do i edit the neversink to show me portal scrools

>>527579758
It was on an uptrend and then they went back to typical nigger ways and nerfed everything again without changing the meta or adding new content. These devs are incapable of understanding their playerbase and continually ruin fun league after league. Even when they fix an issue, they eventually view it as a mistake and then "fix" it again

>>527582320
VFoS is super strong ***but*** you have to play it like a sissy caster, aka a glass canon.

>here your t16 8mod infamous merc

>>527582320
Let me guess. Chaos dmg mod on map? Fire throwing cannibals? Standing underneath a green floating orb?

>>527581213
okay and what was brought up to that level in its' place?

I kinda want to reroll to Absolution Guardian after seeing how hard those little fuckers are carrying my clear through maps when using them through a merc. What GGG-approved specter am I allowed to pair them with? I haven't used a specter in half a decade.

Enjoying PoE2. Never played 1. Doing a merc build, gemling. Either go flash / oil / explosive grenade / explosive shot OR I have pin/leverage/martial tempo on basic bolt which rips and the totem and pin stuff and melt them with gas grenade with corrosion. Starting to get addicted. Have died twice just finished act 2. Game is too easy if anything but I gave up on HCSSF for now until I reach the end game on one character. Also like Monk.

>run into phys DoT merc
>watch your hp drain to zero in 1.5 seconds tops
what did GGG mean by this? how do you even build defenses against him?

damn, I killed the black goo boss without dying with -31% chaos res

I'm following Allie's guide of Pconc and so far its just okay. I really feel that pconc is just a shittier version of mines though, i can't wait to transition to Mamba.

Anyway, I watched her stream and she certainly has a foul mouth, she can't stop saying pussy, etc. Kinda turned me off, girls shouldn't be like that desu. Just wanna share if anyone has the same experience in playing pconc / follwing Allie's guide.

thanks for reading my Tedtalk

>>527583486
It demolishes the entire game, but it's also miserable to play. A true GGG classic.

>>527583247
There are a bunch of aura spectres added in the last Ritual rework. Perfect Pain Artist is Zealotry, Perfect Guardian Turtle is Determination, etc. There's also Perfect Spirit of Fortune for lucky lightning damage but Absolution doesn't benefit as much as other lightning spells because of the damage range. https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Corpse_item

There are also frostbearers if you want an op dps spectre.

popularity 3.25 is better than 3.26

>>527576912
It's for Heist

>>527583913
thanks for the info, anon. I'll probably look into the frosty boys then since I'll already be aura-stacking pretty heavily with Guardian.

>>527584039
Shan't be doing Heist but I will be going banners

I recruited a merc, it’s stupid how strong they are. Actually trivializes the content. My merc rush build that goes full drive into the talent pool is topping. I’ve invested all my crystal powder into it and it’s paying up.

If you don't like VFoS just play Ground Slam of Earthshaking, I cleared the entire game on it in Settlers
Swap back to VFoS if you want for pinnacles

>>527582971
You're just a retard. What did they nerf that makes the game oh so terrible now? Aww boo hoo lightning strike isn't as good after a year of metafags doing nothing but. Retard.
There is more player power and power creep than ever. The game has never been easier. You can even fully gear out a merc for even more power now.

where do you start kingsmarch stuff
im in act 10 about to kill kitava

>>527582320
Tired of these streamerfags and players who can't do anything except what they tell you to do. Vfos was already in the game before this. I played it before this league and obliterated everything with it. Now all of a sudden these faggots say it's great everyone so rushes to use it. Fucking retards. You're clearly too bad to use an OP skill. You deserve what you get.

>>527585108
after campaign, you won't have the money to upkeept it for long though. but it sa good idea to start your farmers right away

it's not so bad actually, I can do 3 more maps and end at 80 today

>>527585747
considering people are hitting 100 today, yeah, the poor server performance ruined the league for many

>>527582708
Yes. It's generic block chance like the rare chest eldritch implicit

whats the cope going to be when 0.3 hits ATHs

>>527585747
Maybe on the high end all the new stuff is interesting, but for the average player there's not much to get excited about. I guess mercs are kinda cool, but it's basically just a random minion that follows you around. Most of the starters are also complete ass this league. Not surprising the league flopped, desu.

>>527586001
given that 0.3 will be poe 2's first real league, its basically guaranteed

i started having fun when i switched off of melee

LMFAO I'm watching streamers die to mercs and cry on youtube
holy shit their reaction times are fucking awful
90% of the time they SHOULD be able to do it but they don't know how to not depend fully on their builds and play tactically
its no wonder they're playing poe1 and not poe2
bet they all got filtered by draven
>hurrrrrr lemme just stand in this aoe for 2-3 secs wow why did I get one shot?
you didn't numbnuts
you were inside an aoe and tried to facetank instead of using terrain to cover and looking for openings
you can quite easily dodge attacks if you're ducking and weaving around terrain and only attacking when it stops them immediately backing off
holy shit bravo GGG you've just revealed your biggest streamers as being absolute fucking no skill retards

>>527586685
this but unironically. You only ever die to the shield charge merc if you're just standing still

LMFAO

>>527585747
>>they nerfed too many things, it's impossible to hit endgame now!
>>the meta is too same-y, I am forced to do builds that were meta a year ago!
Unironically, yes. Those are THE main problems in POE1. Nobody likes to play a build they do not enjoy for hours, so they MIGHT have some fun later on.

>>527584965
self cast is still shit and has been for years. Mana sustain is still fucking dogshit. We had 1 league of good self-cast except it was archmage and now even that is gutted. You can't use archmage on cremation anymore, those skills are dead in the water. All that's left is janky ass shit like stacking ES on inquis or trickster for eblade shit. It's fucking boring. Skill diversity and the overall build architecture diversity has never in the history of poe been fucking worse. You play some glass cannon piece of shit ralakesh void battery shit or you literally can't play. It's so fucking bad I have to imagine the people left playing this trash literally never leave their rooms so they can stomach playing 15 hrs a day to get their "starter" grinding t16/t17s and pretend they are still having fun

Trying to play Warden on league start made me wish I still had Raider in the game. Way too many buttons to be clicking and way too little uptime for Avatar of the Wilds. One d/c, one insta-gib because of some mercs (lol fuck your pdr), or portal out for a trade means you lose all progress to 100 stacks.

Is Flicker Warden any good or is it only good because of gear like replica farruls and Shako+Icebite?

i have golems and the absolution merc and i keep dying because i can't fucking see anything that i'm fighting, i need to reroll into something that doesn't suck

>>527588382
Additional info: I can only farm tier 10 maps. Corrupted red-tier maps are absolute ass bitch fuck. Too many bad mods that make the maps nearly unplayable especially if I attempt to do some Expedition.

welcome to POE1 scrub

is it true you can get around the DC + rollback by pausing the game? lmao

>>527588806
But with coc is till have to stop and attack aswell with lancing steel or whatever trigger I should use

can you link to a mercenary?

>>527588830
Look for a Kineticist with auras, shits wild. Then give them moonsorrow wand that blinds on hit and and rashkaldor's patience amulet that has the affix "always freeze, shock, and ignite"... And then sit back in awe as they cover the entire screen in kinetic blasts that chill shock and blind everything... While also giving you haste.

meanwhile, the infamous mods:

the slam one is completely retarded
because slams are the chosen people according to ggg

i'm bored out of my fuckin mind

>>527589614
Ive been bored with the stale poe meta for a long time. I think I'll just wait for an end game rework or for poe2 to not be shit. Might be another year for there to be substantial enough changes to pique my interest. Doing exarch/eater/maven shit again just ain't it for the 5th year in a row when all the builds just keep getting worse

>>527588296
lol 1.0 is the f2p release

>>527577791
when ppl say viable they mean as 2nd build when u have 500-5000div

>>527589614
Its average - you have borrowed power from mercs and the new pinnacle bosses which are fairly easy. its just ok.

>>527589614
>i think it's a contender for one of the best
i think mercs are much more fun than building kingsmarch, planting corpses in necropolis, going into the affliction holes, kalandra map building, tota everything, sentinel, archnem, harvest rotations, heist anything.
playing WITH a merc that complements your build is just simple fun.
>but they are too op!!!!!
skill issue.

So how's the sactum after the nerfs?

>>527589614
most people aren't in endgame where the real league mechanic (the expansion mechanic) is relevant

>>527590348
not worth your time. you can earn better with merc farming.

>>527590049
yes? Ice nova gets like 1.5mil with 10d invested. Vortex is clunky dogshit, ball lightning of orbitting is zdps. There are no other good spells that can even make use of it. Things like crackling lance, arc, or firestorm are forced into eblade nonsense since they don't have enough base damage after the great cuckening of support gems and the north side of the tree so every caster is a piece of shit until 50div invested. Prove me wrong. Show me any league starter archmage build other than the above mentioned that gets at least 2 mil dps in an ssf scenario meaning 2 mod items with a crafted affix, and no specific uniques by the time you reach red maps. You can feign this faux outrage all you want, but you absolutely can't show me a good selfcast build that gets good enough offense to be worth scaling

>>527590465
>ssf scenario
lol

wait, so the only thing you need to get the eternal lab is one offering?

>>527590465
more specifically show me a non-archmage self cast build that can do all content on a league start and get 4 stones with no significant gearing up phase and goes straight to red maps without a hickup

>>527590298
i genuinely do not trust the average poe players opinion on anything when tota is what people on average consider a good league mechanic.

>>527590690
ssf or trade it won't matter. You absolutely cannot show me a league start pob with fresh out of campaign items getting 1.5 - 2 mil dps. Slams get this easily, mines get this easily, concoctions get that easily. everything else has been fucking gutted to unpleasantness

>>527590695
always was bro.

>>527590771
ToTA was a good mechanic. You just spend a lot of time S U C K I N G.

What the fuck are these wages for the Kingsmarch workers? I know they reduced levels to 5, but level 1 farmers now take 250/hour, which is like 10x what it was.

>>527590956
>ToTA was a good mechanic
tota was cheesed to hell and back by everyone because of void sphere, if it were brought back today GGG would get rid of that ever happening again and people will actually INTERACT with the piece of shit that was tota gameplay and wonder why it wasn't as good as they remembered. genuinely one of the worst fucking mechanics they have ever made.

>>527591145
so what was the play durning tota

>>527591027
kingsmarch is end game content, you get gold to sustain it at t16s

>>527590454
>merc farming
I can do better than 2 chaos from the dipshit mercs

>>527591267
Fishing in Kingsmarch... Is it new????

>>527591497
unironically the best strat right now besides containment is alch and go. just run maps fast and merc farm and wait for fortress drop.

>>527591145

they should unironcally bring back ToTA in maps.

>>527589614
I like it but I'm having

>>527591654

>>527590956
>always was bro.
Incorrect. It was changed in scourge league to only require the offering. Before you had to do all the fucking map trials to get access to it

>do map
>doing well
>merc gets 1shot by a slam or stands in a chaos degen
>pay to revive
>do map

my gold total is straight up not moving
should I just not use mercs they're really cool but I can't keep just pouring gold into these bitches who die all the time

>>527592657
u gotta gear him up bro

>>527592789
my merc has better gear than me their AI is just stupid as fuck

>>527582649
Got 4 div from merc LOL, this league is pretty fun

How should i invest in my character to scale pconc, should i just buy jewels and shit ?

Would an armor with increase rarity mod if I put it on my merc?

>>527590197
ssf full atlas 2 stones

>>527590197
im lvl 50 at the start of act 6...
since i've had to run almost every zone at least twice. if they fix it today even, i think my steam might have just ran out already

what do you guys do with your gold

how come some mercs are literally immortal but others die instantly the second after i hire them and i cant even find out what killed them?

>>527574712 (OP)
I respect from flicker into snaking and holy shit the game is trivial now

>>527594351
campaign: gamba
endgame: kingsmarch

>>527589052
yes. mercenary also has a chance to roll a link skill to kill you better :)

>>527585747
I don't understand how people could even think PoE would hit an all time high. I said so before league launch and I'll say it again. Half-assed league after a year of nothing. A lot of people simply stopped playing PoE altogether and it's not easy to just jump in. PoE takes a big time investment. The servers shitting the bed obviously harmed player numbers. What was the exact effect, I'm not sure.

I regret Bannermaxing.

>>527594351
Cadiro sells t1 uniques for millions FYI better save

Is defy pain for berserker any good?
It reads really shit to me.

>>527594451
I was going to do this but if everyone just sucks cock and is a slave to one of three meta builds then what is the point? I just quit the league instead, ggg needs to make other things more viable

>>527592865
buy a delve tab

I AM ZDPS AS FUCK AND I AM NOT TANKY
I think I'm quitting day 3 I don't have it in me to fix this and I don't want to reroll

>>527587417
Will have to wait what the played builts look like in a couple of weeks, once people transition to what they actually want to play. I seriously doubt people will stay playing slams.

>>527589614
I beat all the new pinnacle bosses in mostly campaign gear. They need to make them tougher. I also didnt like the loot they dropped.

>>527595109
NEVER

I decided to play melee this league for the first time in a while.
Feels like im learning a ton. Usually as ranged you just... dont die. Melee you really have to scale your gear and character. Its kinda fun.

>>527592865
Ben has already farmed like 800 div. He’s likely one of Satans clones. Like another way to say this is, Ben is a can opener. You wouldn’t cut your nails with a can opener, although you could. So that’s why Satan chose Ben to play poe. His body was like a machine that was fit for Satan to use. There is likely no real “Ben” inside of that body, only Satan. Satan loves talking, you can listen to Ben talk and it’s actually a guy who calls himself the devil, im not joking lol he literally calls himself an evil devil. He’s also not a human like I am, he is almost like an alien. He exists outside of the body.

>>527590879
Lol. Of the top 8 boss race participants, 3 were Hierophant. You cannot claim with a straight face that Archmage or Hierophant is weak. It's super strong, stronger than slams if the race were against ubers and not a speedrun to kill regular pinnacle bosses. Even still, like I said, Hierophant was great in a speedrun.

>>527595608
>still believing in fairy tales

kek. you put up socks for santa too bro?

>>527595608
i'm actually crying this post is so funny

so what merc should we look for? which one to exile

>constant posts about bricked builds, bait builds, zdps, zhp,
REMINDER
all those who are dooming are actually just mad that their build sucks

>>527595636
Are you fucking retarded or did you just refuse to read what I wrote? I said outside of archmage. exceptions don't disprove the rule retard.

>>527595942
you literally said archmage was weak

>>527595942
>We had 1 league of good self-cast except it was archmage and now even that is gutted.
It's not gutted, retard.

>>527595608
This is more schizophrenia than a 100% delirious map

>>527595930
I shouldnt have to attach my mouth to the asshole of the metaslave content creators to get a build that does a few mil dps

>>527596157
Every skill can do few mill of dps with very little investment. Learn to make your own builds.

>>527596018
>>527596039
I said specifically outside of vortex and bloo archmage was trash and that the vortex variant was clunky. Can you two not fucking read? Not everything comes down to looking at a fucking pob you dorks. Mana sustain and mana costs were hit hard to the extent that archmage is a difficult prospect outside of a very tight and inflexible tree. If that's good balance to you idk what to say. I have higher standards than you

>>527596258
NTA.
>Every skill can do few mill of dps with very little investment
picrel, because you know you are bullshitting.

>>527596258
prove it

>>527596258
is still there a thing in poe as "your own builds"?

the passive skill tree is laid bare and you can scale in by just clicking your choice of damage nodes. it basically boils down if you're making million dps or bazillion dps

is worb back or no
is anyone playing it

>>527596717
no

>>527596717
Worb won't be back until cast speed scales the projectile frequency and they unfuck the duration. They literally made the skill worse with the changes

>>527596445
>>527596467
You can literally scroll poeninja to see non-meta skills with millions of dps, despite the league being this early. It's not that hard. The difference between top tier skills and bad skills is how easily that dps is reached and how high the ceiling is. Few million dps in PoE is not that amazing anymore.

>>527596706
Yes there is your own builds, especially in SSF, where you operate under a resource constraint and have to use what given. You can also see in poeninja that even under the same skill, peoples builds differ in a multitude of ways. From small choice, like pathing, to differing additional skill gems, clusters and timeless jewels. There's plenty of variation.

Looted a Trarthus gem!

>>527597129
Any skill that reaches a few million dps is either meta or is using damage cheese zhp strategies. There are no nonmeta starters that achieve well rounded numbers and you know it

>>527597129
>just copy someones build verbatim
>just buy these multiple div jewels and uniques or spend multiple divs on crafts
thanks retard

called in sick at work lads
a day ripe of poe

>>527592252
all fucking six kek

every skill should be able to kill shaper with the base tree, no jewels, and only basic rare items.

there will never be another affliction league where you could be a mouth breather and farm a mirror, ask me how I know

bro i fucking swear the fortify is bugged and isnt actually doing anything
no way is it this unimpactful

>>527598442
i'm not going to play because the meta is already stale and there is nothing interesting to do in the game

>>527598603
But youre interested enough to lurk /poeg/?

since we don't get unveil enchants through unveiling is there a reason to pick them up if the item is otherwise garbage?
i can't think of one but i feel like i might be messing up after years of always checking

There: https://pobb.in/gfmjDxKOYgrd

One of my old builds. You can easily tone down the tankyness for damage, as you're no doubt playing softcore, remove the timeless jewel and have great damage from day 1. Boneshatter is garbage right now and certainly not meta. 0.2% playing it in trade cuck league, 0.3% in HC, and 0.4% in HCSSF. Turn on blood stance and you have 5 mill.

Is there any kind of trick to using Earthshatter or do you just spam that shit and let your autoexerts blow up the spikes?

Is Venom Gyre assassin secretly busted? This was the smoothest leveling experience I had so far, with no auxiliary gear whatsoever

>>527599178

Venom always feels amazing while leveling, actually scaling it is a nightmare.

>>527599174
If you are lazy, use general's cry for automatic pops. Also, make the cry's have differing quality, so that their cooldowns are off rhythm, creating more frequent detonations.

im gonna spend all my gold on rapiers fuck it dude and a supres, ele avoid and atack speed shield

The real issue with lategame poe for casuals is the compounding cost of fixing mistakes in your build, and it was made even worse this league with the change to regrets. Nobody wants to do that, so everyone will just gladly copy fub faggot gun to the tee.

>>527599654
This compounds with GGG's design philosophy of having so many skills that are only playable on large investments. Actual traps for new players.

>first abyssal depth
>BIG money
and that is why I like Abyss. I did this shit during Necro Settlers and I swear I was getting 95%+ Darkness Enthroneds or Amanamu's Gazes every time.

they should add the poe2 skill system to poe1

Where do you get CDR bench craft for belt now?
Cant find where on my table

that would be pretty nice but stuff like dialas wouldn't make sense anymore

bladefall of trarthus is going to blow up soon

>>527600585
no it won't

Coming back to this game after 3 years all I can say is, what happened?
You have constant battle pass ad popping on your screen, build diversity is shit, a lot of things have been made even more complicated for absolutely no reason.
The devs just don't want you to play path of exile.

>>527600678
Correct, they want you to be playing Path of Exile 2!

what is that FUCKIGN base man

I'm mad at myself for wasting 20 hours thinking this league was gonna be good

>>527601318
goggin

>>527600678
Yep, the game is too autistic under Mark. It's like they catered to gigabrain autists too hard instead of average players who just want to blast some maps, get some loot and have some fun with a weird, off-meta build they thought up. If you aren't instanuking the screen with millions of dps and behind five layers of defense, you're going to have a bad time. It ALMOST makes me appreciate the simplicity of Poop 2 where you just get some ES and can chill while mapping.

I'd forgotten how much PoE stresses me out, even though it's a single-player game, but I'm just raging behind my screen. It's time to take a break and play a relaxing game.

>>527601685
what about it stresses you out? it's a comfy second monitor game for me

It's probably just in a tab you had focused at the time.

So this is the worst league in a long time. What was the last time we have a league worse than this? I think Kalandra might have been better.

>>527603930
show me your off meta build which you can get in 3 days from league start with less than 1 div investment which blasts an atlas strategy at t16 or can farm t17s

Ask Jesus for a drop. He actually does give people items in video games lol. It feels wrong though, because that’s worth real dollars. And you can’t produce money with magic, if you could we wouldn’t all be poor and he wouldn’t be called an evil slaver. So he technically stole money from some Indian slave guy and gave it to me last league in a videogame. Im not even slightly grateful. I want more, much more free stuff. I need way more than this.

No, there's something seriously wrong with how the mercs calculate damage. I wouldn't be surprised if they don't pull a Volatile Plants shit
>Oops we just realized after years the damage is 10x higher than it should be :)

It's also important to remember that the chink version of PoE lets you spend money to revive on the spot.

>>527606985
SARRRRRRRR

>>527606524
does it still exert the attacks just for no effect? there's stuff that scales off the number of warcries exerting

>>527606853
>it's difficulty not a fundamental problem with the archetype

>>527607019
bugfix: we found out mercenaries were dealing 100000000000% more damage instead of 100% increased. whoopsiedoodles! :^)))

>respec Flicker to bannerman
>still dying but deal no damage now
cool

Octavian was lead designer for this league by the way, just thought that was interesting haha

>>527607104
i guess, but they also use herald of purity so there has to be some other interaction as well

bro i got one tapped by a fire merc in tier 4 map when im playing rf, 90 res and even arctic armor didnt help me

AHHHHH FUCK THIS GAME IS NOT ACTUALLY GOOD WHY DID I EVER PLAY IT WHY DO I GO BACK EVERY LEAGUE KNOWING THIS IT'S ALWAYS THE SAME FUCKING SHIT NO MORE. I'M FUCKING DONE I QUIT THIS GAME FOREVER YOU SHOULD TOO GET OUT WHILE YOU STILL CAN IT'S SERIOUSLY NOT A GOOD GAME PEOPLE JUST HAD THEIR BRAINS FRIED AND CAN'T STOP AHHHHHH WHY ARE THERE NO GOOD GAMES AT ALL ANYMORE PERIOD

i need a build that doesn't stand still, how's power siphon totems? can i win the game on those? which version of the skill is better?

>>527607270
Actually Flicker Bannerman might be alright thinking about it. Flicker a pack, banner, flicker, banner. Ez pz sounds better than shitty ass Earthshatter.

It's about the state of EU servers. They are not wrong...

I feel this man, the only good game to come out since Settlers was Blue Prince. Poo2 sucks, new league sucks, every AAA sucks, every old live service game now sucks. More time to spend on creative hobbies, at least.

Am I understanding Cruelty support correctlty?
It says it scales with damage it deals so I can't put it on a debuff move right. It should be on my highest damaging attack that has the DoT, but it won't trigger until the second time I use it as long as its in 4 seconds?

>>527590281
Mercs will be core. It's not borrowed power. GGG can't stop sucking off diablo and copying everything about 2-4, even the shit stuff. They've been waiting to do this for so long. Stuff like Einhar fighting with you was foundational work for it. These mercs are also a beta test for some form of mercs being in poe 2. Then they were like oh shit we need a filler league we can give them with only a month of dev work to milk them for more money what's something we can slop together based on things we already have in the game? And thus this league was born.

Playing POE1 just confirms to me that POE2's total gameplay overhauls were and still are based as fuck
Sprinting at Mach 15 around maps hoping something doesn't randomly one-shot me is less enjoyable than POE2 where I feel like I actively made notable mistakes when I die. POE2 just needs more leagues so it gets a more robust endgame

>>527608509
was there any mention of thrathus in poe2?

>>527605679
u no rikey nu-rogue exiles, scuffed not-sentinel and mark forcing t17 mods on you?

>>527607174
Problems = difficulty
Its like saying melee being able to miss is a problem. And not just an obstacle in buildmaking that you are supposed to overcome.

>>527608509
The quality between Settlers and Mercenary is fucking staggering

>use cyclone twice

>>527581560
decent but doomed
the much-vaunted crafting system functionally plays like POE2's crafting system. pull good base off floor, chuck throwaway RNG crafting currency at it, hope it rolls the right mod (poe2) or rolls minimum potential cost (LE), dump when it doesn't work
legendary potential homogenizes builds because any unique is about as good as any rare so you're trolling if you don't find a way to stick a unique in every possible slot
coated in a thick layer of modest-budget jank including the unfinished campaign and horrible art style
slow development so it won't get fixed anytime soon

basically in the "real" ARPG competition it loses hard to POE and POE2 and in the "fun casual diversion" ARPG competition D4 is still smoother

>>527608716
And this obstacle makes it objectively worse than other skills.

>>527608509
>Then they were like oh shit we need a filler league we can give them with only a month of dev work to milk them for more money what's something we can slop together based on things we already have in the game? And thus this league was born.

Its true... they milked me hard, i boughted the supporter pack. twice.

Good skeleton but feels way too floaty and toothless. Nothing has impact. Art design is fucking goofy.

>>527608542
Bullet hell mechanics aren’t skillful that’s adhd shit for gooks hopped up on methamphetamines. D2 didn’t have bullet hell and also didn’t have boss immunity phases and this is like a clone of that but way worse somehow. The graphics suck too and they fucked up lots of core gameplay mechanics with their weak as fuck collision coding probably tons of whores working there. They made spelling mistakes in this ex pack too and it looks like ggg is the cheapest fucking company ever. Fuck you ggg I spent money on this crap? Give me what I deserve.

>>527609087
Is that why its one of the strongest league starters an best uber killers?

>>527609201
Art for the new Weaver stuff was good. Main problem in terms of presentation is the sound design. Nothing has any impact.

>>527609293
That's literally just mines doing mine things you literal retard.

Pathetic

>>527609370
So? So them being mines doing mine things makes them strong, and not objectively worse than others?
You can't have it both ways nigger, you can't have something be objectively worse than everything else, while still being better.

bros my merc is fucking strong than me wtf

>>527609462
I already said mines were good, are you illiterate?
Go self cast it you fucking nigger.

>>527608420
It's intended to support skills that scale both hit and dot damage. It has antisynergy with supports like deadly ailments that exchange one for the other. It's not a frequently used support in endgame because all skill builds will usually minmax either the dot portion of a skill or the hit portion.

any big crafters here? got a ilvl 86 conquest lamellar with the defense enchant from heist and got insta whispers for several divines. Wondering what the real price is

>>527601685

run some ravaged blights you dont need to do shit

Memory strands were just an excuse to gaslight us. They hide this behind their art and storytelling. Like all the games in production have underlying metaphors about sex and torture. It’s pretty abusive I guess, which is the point. These companies are owned by Satan and he uses them to torture us. A very efficient way to torture somebody with words and pictures is by sexually abusing them with puzzle metaphors where the solution to the question is something sexual. Zana is a sexual metaphor. Petals are sexual metaphors, I promise you they didn’t just randomly say “ok let’s make it a blossom or something bud lmao” like this shit isn’t random. They write the word sex on a whiteboard and then draw synonyms for storytelling. It’s also like a legal form of sexual assault because they’ll just throw schizophrenia accusations at you if you ever call them out where it matters. Fuck Satan is so scary, he literally found a way to legally rape everybody who is reading this. And chose to do it, lol. Crazy. Imagine being responsible for that. And actually getting away with it lol. Craziness.

This is hilarious. They fucked around and abandoned this game for almost a year (really, many more years before settlers since they stopped doing any substantial leagues and had no balance changes) and now they can't get their players back.
Lesson #1 in business is it's cheaper to keep existing customers than retain new ones, and they couldn't do something so simple.

you truly, and legitimately, make me sick
I'm so glad POE2 development is strangling POE1 to death. Sure, you niggers will hop ship to POE2 and kill that game too with your redditoid whining, but for a brief moment POE2 will actually be fun to play instead of having mapping be a toothpulling experience

So explain to me what was the point of making divs the new exalt? Who benefited from that change?

>>527580604
correct

>>527611081
they fucked the atlas up in poe2 so hard. I only found one fortress and have like 50 hours in maps, and going back into a failed map feels like your balls are being sawn off, the most anti-fun mechanic I've ever seen ever

Challenge for GGG
>stop removing things that make the game fun
Impossible?

>>527611185
because using exalts is fun, using divs is not, so making divs the trade currency leads to more fun in the game because players can now actually exalt shit
retard

>>527611389
except for the part where exalts are still insanely rare for some reason

>>527611185
it made fixing uniques timeless jewels more expensive

>>527611389
but I use divs all the time on jewels and crafts

>>527611712
>>you can now slam without feeling bad
you can do this in poe2 because exalts drop like candy
in poe1 you need a specific set of modifiers and you need to do backflips and blocking etc to have a chance at getting something good and crafting end-level stuff usually involves multimodding prior which is even more high end currency
sorry but exalts in poe1, regular plain ass exalts where u just slam, fucking suck and are no where close to the utility of being able to reroll uniques esp with the unique powercreep recently

Can anyone help me survive? I am at the period of finishing the campaign to like tier 6 maps and I am having a hard time not dying in them. All my elemental resistances are maxed but chaos is at 22%. I cant really find any chaos resist gear to make up for it so what do I do

>>527612404
chaos 22 is fine i actually don't bother to make it positive until in the lower reds.
what's your HP pool? try having at least 90-100+ life in your gears (boots, gloves helmet, belt, etc) even a 60-70 can help.

>>527612840
yes. map version of act 1 enemies are the most dangerous because act 1 enemies got massively buffed

>>527612827
hmm maybe you're getting stunned? do you have any flasks automation yet?

>>527612982
I do get stunned sometimes, and no automation yet

I think I'm rerolling to my old reliable toxic rain bros... I hate playing jugg

>>527613245
there yah go, invest in 5 instilling and 5 glassblower for some quicksilver / stun recovery

>>527612840
You see, one of the last thing Chris did before fucking off was making the act 1 and act 2 more "engaging" and "fun" by fucking with the enemies and causing them to do 10x the damage they used to. The logic was that, since Cruel and Merciless were gone, they no longer needed to worry about them scaling too hard in those difficulties.

What he forgot in his baldness though, was that these fucking faggot enemies can also spawn in maps, and the torch cannibals became fucking hitler with any kind of multiproj mod on the map because lol, lmao

like this has been the worst launch in a long time

>>527614184
they probably put a bunch of poe1 servers into poe2 and didn't bring them back to 1 for the launch is my theory

>>527614130
i asked which merc type is good for single target, do you speak english?

>>527611670
as in I can put up a 200c unique for 50 and no whispers

>>527614184
They probably downgraded the server halfway through the Settlers because "nobody's playing anyway :^)" and Phrecia wasn't big enough to make the issues obvious.
That or my schizo theory of
>they added the pause feature (in 2025, amazing)

You don't even notice 160ping.

>>527614649
I think that was different problem, because the day 1 lag was per-zone. I had perfectly flat 30ms in mud flats, only to get the 30-200ms heart palpitations in submerged. Crash and go back to mud flats, normal 30 again. But who knows
>>527614745
And what do you think happens when 30k players migrated to Washington on day 1 you fucking retard?

>>527614745

but it took almost 3 hours of getting kicked to be able to log on.
once i was on it was buttery smooth.

Oh well, I guess there never was any issue then and GGG doesn't need to fix anything with the servers :^)

Is there a difference in doing cast when damage taken on molten shell vs vaal molten shell? I see a lot of builds specifically pick the vaal version

>>527615848
you can click the vaal version yourself

istg i've seen more soul eater rares in 3 days of this league than entire past leagues

>>527615848
Normal is supported by cwdt and then you have a second vaal one you trigger yourself, so you just get two molten shells.

Respec options for retaliate glad?
I don't like how it plays

>>527616131
That will happen when you kill all the non soul eaters off screen and soul eaters are the only ones you get a chance to hover over.

Hello bros, need your advice.
I used captainlance inqui build as guidence
https://pobb.in/dNspv90glUsN
It was my first leaguestart so naturally i struggled, died a lot, didnt deal damage. /poeg/ gave me great advices like "cap your res and craft hp/es on your stuff" my build got a lot better and i became much tankier.
I did it all by myself with gear i found on floor/picked from mercs and really enjoyed it. Now i really want to get 2 stones without trading into ivory tower setup/other super strong gear. Like some ssf player would do.

My current build
https://poe.ninja/pob/75064
Problems:
I know that lance suggests trans flameblast gem, but i just dont enjoy this kind of gameplay
I used regular for testing and it barely deals any damage. Could you suggest some kind of skill gem/equipment setup that will allow me to run maps better and get 2 first voidstones on my own? I know brands are good.

Glad I'm not the only one getting randomly one shot by these guys in reds. I'm pretty bulky but I thought maybe I fucked something up. Guess it's just the usual overtuned league mechanic garbage we've seen literally every league for the past 10 years

Sasuga GGG

*Drops some actual numbers and quick analysis*
Yeah the game is dying back to it's usual value within a week as is common but I want you to look at the bottom numbers as well. The +182.54% makes it THE lowest gains for a new league in years except the dreaded night of August 2024 with +173.12% gain.
The spell GGG put on people has been broken for a notable amount that got addicted to constant 3 months new hype cycles.

in what universe is this 2div idk

>Vastly reduced the gold cost of extremely rare Unique items from Cadiro in Betrayal. The rarest unique will cost at a maximum ~135000 gold. This is to alleviate an issue where you'd have to keep a huge amount of gold on your character at all times just in case the right unique item was offered. This is approximately twenty-five times cheaper now for the most expensive unique items.

It's actually not if you want it to be the best it can be. They don't give you buffs when they're automated.

I did fine during the campaign with sunder, but as soon as I hit t1 maps and swapped to flicker, they all 1 shot me. I don't think flicker will ever have any chance against them. You have to offscreen them. It was enough to make me quit.

Remember when Chris once said you build up a currency with your customers and you can cash some of that in when things go bad but eventually it'll run out. It's amazing how much shit he said in the past was foreshadowing for what was to come.

What are the strongest merc archtypes?

>>527619337
you cant even really do flicker without replica farruls + cats agility socketed gem anyway, it's not a league starter build

Dont care whats profitable

*samefags my doomsissy post again*

Weren't we meant to be able to put our MTX on our mercs?
Swear someone said this during the announcement interview.

>>527619510
I regret and not listening to all of his 3.15 damage control podcasts. Despicable human being but it explained everything about the weird ass backwards shit in poe gamedesign and 5.15 going forward.
Also made me very aware that poe2 will be shit because they had to make poe1 noticable worse to "turn it into poe2" which was one of the most massive red flags of all time.

>>527619579
Not true anymore and hasn't been for ages. Flicker was buffed heavily with the new berserker node. Near doubles damage and males frenzy sustain free. You also have that warrior's legacy ring. It's enough to sustain frenzy without furfag shit. Before that was in the game, terminus can carry you to red maps so you can swap to flicker as soon as you're high enough level to equip that. Now you can use any weapon you want without furfag with the berserker node / ring.

>>527619802
it's true enough since you got btfo and quit

tell me the truth bros
is jonathan gonna pull the plug on poe1?

What's the meta for plot layout?

>>527619907
Everyone is getting 1 shot by these mercs. Only thing that doesn't is ranged faggotry.

>>527619985
Mark said when no one is playing it anymore so it's likely.

>>527619802
Flicker has technically been sustainable for a while now. But nobody has been starting it since it's fucking suicide to do so. You NEED to kill everything before their attack animation finishes and you instantly die. Being able to sustain your charges to endlessly flicker doesn't matter since frenzy sustain isn't what makes flicker a good skill. It's the potential to be one of the highest damaging skills in the game. Which requires hundreds of divines to reach.
Your leaguestarter flicker with 600k damage is just going to get your ass blasted and hard stuck in yellow maps.

it's always the one you most expect anon

I think I understand now why 90% of the community doesn't map. It's just really annoying if you're not into self-competition (improving your character, making him progress, setting yourself challenges like killing such and such a boss or looting such and such an item). If it's just narrative progression you're interested in, then the campaign is the ideal place, so you'll go back several times just to play a new role in the campaign and save Wraeclast.

At least shrines is still a specc, they completely removed al the good stuff you could get from Blight nodes, now it’s only the tower defense node left, and a bunch of pointless dogshit that you need to overgear by miles to click on.

it's impressive how they fucked up this game worse than blizzard did with d4.

POO 2
HUGE STINK

>>527623305
Can you put a trip on so I can filter you whinging?

>>527623416
SAAAAAAAR

BALD

>>527623305
Not even close. D4 has probably sold close to 20 million copies and the game's beyond dead. PoE 2 only sold a fraction of that. Both are dead games though, don't get me wrong.

seriously ggg? fucking faggots are auto-muting for typing "raping" ?

>>527610794
I play HCSSF. PoE1 speed is a good thing. PoE2's slowness is a bad thing. Simple as.

>>527623508
both are more alive than poe 1 thoughbeit.
poopshit of shartile one couldn't even last a weekend before it died lmao even fucking diablo 3 lasts a full weekend.

>>527623856
>d4 more alive than poe1
Lmao mask off blizznigger

>>527623938
50k by day 5, gotta be a record. don't worry tho, the next expansion league will pop off.

>>527624049
YES SAAAAR DIABLO 4 IS GUD SAAAAR

>>527623856
I get that you're having fun, but d4 is really dead. Like poe 1 after a full year of no new content dead.

>>527620712
That axe is fine. I purposefully did not toggle focus in the config and you can get T2 added phys easily with vendor recipe, couple with recomb for attack speed and then craft betrayal increased phys. The jewel I already said you did not need, same as TP, as that is immaterial to the build.

>>527621147
There's nothing in that build actually requiring anything expensive. I did not make a new POB for retards like you, but I explicitly told that the timeless jewel can be taken out, as the TP aspect is immaterial to achieving this "lauded" few million dps.

>>527621563
I haven't responded to you at all.

>>527616971
Idk what this build is meant to do, I would just respec the whole thing to like crit crackling lance with a call of the brotherhood and actual rares, not all these shitty uniques.
And actually spec inevitable judgement and not stupid augury of penitance.

>>527624121
so poe 2 is dead, and diablo 4 is dead.
but path of exile one is popping off right now? lower launch peak than crucible, but wowie the hype is off the charts.

does having a merc around really not increase monster damage?

how does battlemage's cry work exactly? does it repeat my main skill with lower damage or am i reading it wrong?

this league mechanic is a godsend for losers, you can do yellow maps all day and farm chaoses for free on mercs and farm shit like essenses and harvest and make money playing retarded easy content and yet crybabies keep crying about things being too hard

>>527624791
so it's like every other league? great observation

>did my 1st map of the day
>immediately felt sleepy

>find merc with 2 div
>instantly one-shots me

>>527624352
>so poe 2 is dead, and diablo 4 is dead.
But not for the same reason

PoE2 is dead because PoE1 is alive. I mean, they clearly can't do PoE1 ***and*** PoE2.

Diablo4 is dead because I don't know, it's like they literally don't care about the game.

From whqt I can tell, travel skills on mercs will one shot you. Shield charge is an insta gib every single time.

>>527620786
level 96 and checked every merc inventory since act 1
best I've gotten was the ambush scarab for 90c

>do my 1st red tier map this league

He's not coping because what you're screaming into the void doesn't matter. PoE player analytics don't matter. GGG has already made their money for the quarter. We're set to go on life support for another five months since the server, staff, and software liscence costs are covered.

ggg updating an early access game with content every couple of months and packaging it as poe1 leagues to sell goypacks is undoubtedly the scummiest shit in gaming and I do not understand how this company isn't shunned over practices like this.

I am pretty upset, one could say assblasted, over how much shit ggg is getting away with.
