Lol, finished act 1 and I am not exaggerating when I say Count Geoner went through 5 or 6 of his intermission phases before I beat him. Thankfully I was very familiar with his moveset, and the add phases were enough to get my flask charges back, but even one-shotting the fucker I have to say it felt TERRIBLE.

Granted, my spear isn't very good at all, 12-25 dmg rare I found; and my equipment overall is pretty bad, but the A1 boss shouldn't take 8+ minutes to kill.

I've actually gotten a good amount of augs and transmutes, but I have gotten ONE regal orb so far......have 4 exalts too, lol.

Definitely going to take my time through the campaign unless they make some major adjustments, .01 felt way better doing the campaign. Really want to see if the endgame is improved but I don't know if I'll make it far enough to see.

  • Tempest Bell's impact now deals 146-490% of Attack Damage at Gem levels 3-20 (previously 145-316%). Now requires 10 Combo to use (previously 4), and the Bell is destroyed after 10 Hits at all Gem levels (previously 10-19 at Gem levels 3-20). Quality now causes the Bell to be destroyed after +0-2 Hits (previously +0-6).
    • Everyone know Tempest Bell was going to be nerfed, but this is straight up dead. 10 combo is unusable for how much bosses move around in this game.

I barely played monk through A2 and I could tell this was a mistake from just reading the patch notes. This is getting ridiculous.

EHG couldn't have known that PoE 0.2 would have been this much of a clusterfuck.
Perhaps if EHG stays the course, and GGG continues to hit panic buttons and flip-flop on skill changes like this for the next 2 weeks, they'll look even more incompetent than they do right now. Might even work further to EHG's advantage when LE finally drops. I'm just watching the trainwreck from the sidelines, but it's cheap entertainment.

Haven't played it either, but wishing them the best of luck. I'll wait for reviews as always, but more interested then ever to see how it pans out.

I guess when Chris was doing his 500 hours meme, it was 500 hours to get to maps since 99% of people will quit this shit

Fuck this noise though I skipped it and am playing Guild Wars 2

Last Epoch is $35 and is worth that price. The new season coming on April 17th is adding a lot of content as well.

Okay the Smith thing is one of those ideas that seems cool on paper. But is totally fucking retarded in a game like PoE. Durrr in an end game that revolves around you getting instant killed by burst damage let me just sit here and hammer on my anvil for a few seconds while mobs can damage me. Oh and the dmg it creates is ass anyway.

Cool.

I am level 55 or so on a Falconer I started late this week just to get a feel for the game again before the next Cycle. Enjoying it so far!

The last 36 hours of this thread is making me very smug about my decision on which game to play this weekend lol.

I can't even remember what I played when it released a year ago or whenever it was. I do remember that I was able to get through the campaign with whatever i threw together and it was fun. Endgame wasn't great but it occupied a weekend and a few nights after work for a couple weeks.

I am no longer struggling with anything now. Gear is the main limiting factor, of course, so i spent my 2 exalts that I found on this crossbow and switched to glacial shot/artillery ballista per Palsteron's recommendation. Smooth as butter now, even one-shotting weaker rares, obliterating everything. Only problem with glacial shot is getting stuck in tight corridors.

I probably should have gone accuracy instead of mana leech, but it's whatever. this will carry me to maps.

Does anyone know what the gradient of red is here? If that were my health I'd assume recoverable HP but that's on every mob I bleed.

Is it that new bleed exsanguinate thing (forgot if it was a support or something else).

New chronomancer skill Unleash is just absolutely bonkers.

people totally overlooked it.

its its own skill. it empowers the spells it repeats. thus can be supported with cull, and 15% more spell damage supports.
its a buff, not locked to one skill. so you could unleash fire ball while mapping, for insane clear, then unleash comet versus bosses for massive burst.

Unleashes cd is 900-750% of the empowered spells cast speed. note, this is Unleashes CD, it doesnt apply the cd to the spell.
so if you are spamming fireball, and unleash fireball, you can go right back to spamming fireball, while Unleash is on CD. but, with 22% cdr, and moderate faster cast, its only like a 2.5-3cd anyway. which also can be bypassed with now and again, and timesnap...

Unleash comet, timesnap, unleash comet, timesnap, unleash comet. add in CoC comets, and now an again procs as well..

Zizaran sums it up well, I think everyone but the devs are on the same page. He's doing an interview with them on Tuesday, that should be interesting.

Make a ranger, equip a crossbow, every time I go to interact with the gem crafting menu it's "what bow skill can I make for you sir?" It's like this for every class in the game. I don't have a bow equipped. I don't have one in my weapon swap. Why is the default for the gem window permanently whatever the thing associated with the class is? It's a small thing but it's been this little annoying thorn since the initial launch last year.

I didn't realize right away but

there is zero itemization for specters including being forbidden from trading the gems at all.

Lmao at these shitters getting exposed because they need some brains and skill instead of just time invested.

I just beat Act 2 boss first try. ~10 hours, 20 deaths in total to get to Act 3.

Bosses are definitely slow, white mobs are fine though.
