The citadels not having actual visuals and looking like any other dogshit retard map button, so many little things that are glossed over really makes you wonder if these American Inventors are actually fucking retards.
Wut? I have one on my map and there's giant walls around it and a city around all the nearby zones.

Torchlight Infinite was great, but it has a worse than D4 unskippable campaign so making alts is insufferable.

It also has a really off putting setting.
Didn't they add some token that would make an alt instant lvl 60? Not sure if you could only purchase with real money or something

I tried out mercenary to 26 but not feeling it. The grenades feel clunky and the shotgun etc feels annoying with reloads, does it get better as you level?

Thinking of trying a Ranger instead, any good starter builds for her?

Having just gone through the experience...Just use a bow. You aren't tied to weapon type based on class and xbow is clunky dogshit comparatively.

FYI: The stash tabs are back on-sale for the weekend for those who are wanting them. I am probably probably gonna upgrade to the $60 pack or maybe the $100 pack even though I really am not impressed with the barbie doll dress up skins for either. Unless someone is feeling generous and wants to send me the $500 milk your wallet pack for no reason so I can buy more stashes than anyone would ever need.

Honestly looking in the cosmetic tab I can't believe these fuckers have the audacity to try and ream $45 from your asshole to look like a retard crab... what's even more amazing is that shit sells like hotcakes apperently. Goddamn Ching Chongs know how to rape stupid Americans from their U.S.D.

Also where the fuck is our goddamn waystone stash tab, since these guys wanna milk money what the fuck are they waiting for here?


Side note I am going to attempt to actually clean up the guild bank over the weekend and see if we can clean out all of the tabs and maybe get Void Void to rename is a couple of needed. Who is an item autist I can snag in discord for a few to make sure I am leaving the right stuff behind and not just sending it all to the dust bins of hell.

There are clusters of rare maps around citadels.

And there-in lies the problem.

The vast spaces between interesting landmarks are filled with AUGURY and DECAY and BLOOMING FIELDS and other total shit maps. The total shit maps are way too fucking common.

If they fleshed out the Atlas with maybe different types of towers and more interesting milestones on the way to citadels, it would be infinitely more compelling than vast fields of INFINITE TRASH TIER MAPS.

Also, towers themselves should be interesting rather than shit you throw your worst maps away on.
Yeah I had no idea, THINK this one was called Dustbowl, but you're right.....seems there is a few others I never saw either.

Keep reading people saying you need to not fail corrupted maps and then you have a way better chance but to me the citadels seem like pure RNG, BUT I'm also not always winning first try on corrupted maps.

For crossbows you want lots of attack speed (attack speed also affects reload speed) and reload speed to get it to a point where it feels good. Crossbows can and do feel good (if you're doing herald cheese) with fast reload speeds.

Key is to choose an XBow base with fast base reload speeds and then stack as much attack/skill/reload speed as you can to get it down to like .35s or better

EDIT: This is what you're looking for. You can use the Painter's Servant unique gloves to make Explosive Shot shock so you can use shockburst for bosses before you can use Three Dragons, then switch to Three Dragons at 41 when it becomes equippable.

Demon Stitcher and Extraction are for spells only, annoyingly. And Fireflower is on ignite only. I'm trying to use this on Shattering Concoction. I want the suffix slot for charges/s, so life removed on use of a mana flask is out as well.

Would heartbound loop work with SRS?

Doesn't have to be a hit, just not be at full life so the life flask can be activated.
your primary skill uses no mana, but does anything else?
get a "15% of mana is taken from life" mana flask?

Yeah, I could put lifetap on another skill. I was just hoping for something more consistent as I don't press those other skills often. I want that life flask active 100% of the time so its sustain is reliable.

Mana flask suffix is taken for charge sustain. And, I haven't checked yet, but I bet it doesn't let me use the mana flask at full mana either.

I swapped to this last night from gas grenade, just looking around for something different to do. While I’m only 75 and didn’t really spend much swapping out gear (maybe 8 exalt), it definitely seemed like good potential. I still have complaints about explosive shots reaction / firing to button press. Maybe it is just me, but there’s a non-zero percentage of time where it feels like it just won’t fire. Not because of reload or some other type of action cancel. It just doesn’t shoot.

Need to tweak it some more but it is a good change from gas grenades. Took about 200k (?) for the respec since we were discussing respec costs. And I’m also struggling with stats so had to buy a necklace with +22 to all attributes.

Its not just you. There is a bug with crossbows where it basically stops reloading then has to reload again, for no reason.

There's a few bugs that lock you out of attack animations for whatever reason.

I got this 2h mace that’s like 400 physical on tool tip, put it in 5 exalt stash not a single tell, if it was anything other than war I’d be flooded with tells.

I'm going to give it another try, no idea what build/path. I do know that I doubt it will be PoE2 will be a long term thing for me just because I've never been a big bosser or phase boss player.

Don’t do war unless you want cheap gear and pain in the dick leveling, but if you do I can give you some shit to level as a monk to 50+ in hours a warrior lol.
