Said it in game a bit ago, but my Deadeye build is mostly online now in Act 3 (level 44) and I honestly have no clue why they destroyed the Cast on Freeze sorc builds. There must just be something about that interaction they didn't like?

But this shit is way easier to play than that was. It's not instant kill (not yet anyway, although that didn't come online for me until sometime in Act 4 or 5 anyway), but it's significantly smoother going through Act 3 so far. I only now just starting using the Orb part, but even without it, I was killing bosses pretty easily. And rares much easier. Add onto it that my evasion means I'm not dying as often and the whole thing is just...baffling.

I skipped that cast on shock shit, any cast on anything after what they did. That build is fantastic and I’m loving it. Combo lightning rod with storm caller arrow, magnetic salvo the lightning rods on bosses and blues/yellows.

Lots of defenses with 3 heralds and tailwind and escape shot bosses die super fast, took a bit to learn the groove with rod and arrow and the interactions but once you learn the delay you time shit better and fucking destroy.

Any recommendations on a melee class to try that does not suck? Going to finish the Map Quest on Witch but kinda want to try something else now for a bit. I did start a monk but got owned by Devourer so rage quit. :p

Be me, thinking that restarting my game would put me in town and i'd be able to continue my character. Jokes on me, I start at the checkpoint that I can't escape. Only option is to roll a new char or faceplant into this boss for however many 5minute fails it takes til I get a 10 minute success.

11/10 it's even better than I thought it was a few minutes ago.

OK so I just came across this boss for the second time in Cruel Act 3.

I was looking for it but even so it opened with the one shot move where it hits you with the pillar and it took me by surprise.

I respawn at the checkpoint and yes the boss is right there. I decided to test it, remembering this comment.

If you don't move it doesn't aggro. If you walk for 10 seconds away from the ruins it leashes and you can just leave.

This is what 90% of the negative comments are, decripit old gamers using mouse and keyboard with no reaction times.

It fucking FLOORS me how badly they fuck over melee in this game too. Again, I am at a non-act boss that does thing that make it impossible to stay close to him. The flying ice/fire/poison boss? The one that has a ton of phases where it is up on pillars and too far away to melee? The one that constantly spams frozen ground when he is there that you have to leave or just get degen'ed to death? The one that you cannot stun reliably because he leaves the ground and goes into phases that allow him to recover his stun bar? Who the fuck thinks this is good game design?

Oh, and don't get me started on how badly they have fucked up the ability to SEE THE SHIT THAT IS ON THE GROUND KILLING YOU. It is a step back from POE 1 at this point.

I get that this is EA and they could make changes that would make this all go away; but their track record around melee specifically is so bad that I now think they have no solutions and just put it in the game because they have to. This game is balanced around ranged and ranged only.

I just can't imagine how fucking stupid GGG is some times. How can they make such smart decisions most of the time, then do fucking retarded things like not allow you to put the Barya item for ascendency access in ANY FUCKING STORAGE. I just have to carry that stupid shit around until I decide to do my ascendancy, which is also fucking retarded because of honor damage. Why the fuck is honor damage even a goddamn fucking thing? How do they come up with such stupid fucking ideas?

Think you can sell a divine on the currency exchange and get plenty of exalts to gear up? Shouldn’t be a bottleneck in that case. I spent 7-8 ex on gear after I finished campaign and was absolutely huge. Couldn’t cap resists but got into the 60s was a huge help, plus once you start running maps you get unique drops and jewelers etc and easy to get the exalts back quickly. I also stacked rarity on my gear to around 120 I think it’s been helping me a lot, hard to say vs luck

Are divines worth a few exalts? Didnt think they were as valuable in this game but I do hope I'm wrong.

If it has green text then it is a quest item and cannot be stashed. It is like this in POE1 with those dumb fucking Heist quest contracts as well. You can go to the trial area, deposit it in the correct place, and it will be there until you complete the first one. It is the same with the first Ultimatum inscription.

Currenty 1 Divine is about 8.75 Exalts in the currency exchange. I have yet to find one and I'm almost 85.

Can all uniques drop at any level above the base item? Or are some basically locked to be low level?

Sockets not being extractable makes sense, but sockets not being replaceable kinda defeats the purpose?

Yea probably 100+ Exalts if not more. I tried to buy one but had to take off Spirit to afford a +2 minion one.
Click to expand...
Why though? +1 and 50+ spirit ones are cheap, and there's no way that another +1 skill beats 2 more arsonists. Hell, I don't even think that +2 with 30 spirit beats a +1 with 55 spirit, for one extra minion. There's a reason why the minion/fire mastery support gems are the last thing people add if/when they finally get a 6 link; it's the least value upgrade out of them all. I spent my extra amulet money on getting a ton of ES on it along with some decent resists.

How do I get one of these fancy loot filters on Xbox, if i can’t get it on Xbox if I put one on my Rog Ally when I play via steam will it carry over?
Click to expand...
For now, you don't. They need to implement the PoE1 thing where you can send a lootfilter directly to your account to be downloaded instead of having to place it in the My Docs directory yourself.

Yeah, not being able to replace is pretty annoying. I've had to pass over so many good ES chests while browsing on trade because dumbasses have ruined them with resists instead of +40% ES.

Wow I must have gotten lucky with Divs instead of exalts in the campaign, appreciate it! 7 exalts would be a huge boost to my shitty gear.

I think they stay the same. I got this at lvl 5 for my Merc. If you do things like decrease your reload time even more and use Fragementation Rounds or something you have the potential to just machine gun the single shot loads with alarming regularity. So they have to balance it around something. If you have this using the standard round that doesn't reload as often is a more of a disadvantage.
