Jonathon is big on making it his game like one he wanted to play from way back in D2 days or whenever it was. May just be that Jonathon and I don't like similar games.

I think you're overestimating LE's potential. EHG doesn't have the marketing budget to pull casuals away from PoE2. Those people don't even know LE exists.
Coming back to this. was going to post in the LE thread, but the previous conversation on this was here.. so doing it here.

Ziz made a good point about this today. So, "I" was saying, 100-120k maybe for peak in 1.2 here.
LE hit 260k peak on release, and 70k peak in 1.1. I thought the PoE2 stumbling will give them a bump..

However,
lets look at something.

LE release trailer. -1.4m views.
LE 1.1 habringers of ruin trailer. 214k.
LE 1.2 Tombs of the Erased trailer. 2.9million views. holy shit.

The 20minute patch overview video has 219k views.

300k+ peak might happen.

At work so can't link the items, but I think there's an immortal combo for lich maybe?

I have a belt that makes you lose 5% life per second, but let's your options over heal your max health.
A pair of gloves that makes you sacrifice 5% max health per spell cast to gain that much ES.
And an ammy that converts life regen to ES regen, even while getting hit.

Seems like I could potion spam at the beginning of the map to get like 8k health and a ton of ES regen from those gloves and ammy while Eternal Life prevents the health loss.

no idea if that works.

Because your life total can't change you can't sacrifice life and then get whatever benefit.
How about just the belt and ammy. The belt just says lose 5 percent per second, then on a separate stat line says your potions can over heal your max life.

yea i am doing lich with eternal life. i have been experimenting with various things. the Demon stitchers do not 'work' while you have ES, though interestingly when you have no ES due to getting your ass beat, the first spell you cast sacs 15 percent of your life to give you SOME ES, and if you combine that with atrezi's hat, the other lich ascendancy point. and heavy buffer that's 25 percent DR. so...it's not...amazing but it's a final failsafe you can utilize when you're wishing your ES would begin regenning.

I also tried eternal youth felt weird and kind of a waste of talent points and the ES regen properties.

i put on one of these to heal my health:

Rerolled a Huntress today, took a break at 78 with the Lich minions. The Vaal Spectres carried me but minions still feel way underpowered compared to other builds.

Having quite an easy time with Huntress now compared to day 1. So the nerfs to trash HP helped alot,

Good seeing LE getting views, I will give log in and give them my support at launch. But not sure how long I will play. Might jump between the two if I have time.

the amulet worked. i tested it by putting it on and standing in level 1 clearfell with trash beating on me. the regen beat their level 5 dps and i always stayed topped off. so good item for this. damn i need to get one with more spirit heh.

the tamed beasts seem to be pretty good bargains for low spirit characters. pulled this beast and it has strange antics, but i'm playing an int lich and i wont' sustain keeping it going. the companion damage absorbtion support seems pretty tight for low spirit builds:

it absolutely does. i was fucking with it and evne that minimum level goofy animal takes 72 dex, which i could convert most of to int. and if you're a spirit boy 42 percent is harsh. BUT you can get 10 percent damage absorbtion from that. and mix it with 25 percent more damage absorbtion from lich, atrizi, and heavy buffer. and 35 percent DR is kind of cool.

Companions don't work in maps unless you're already investing heavily in to minions - they will just be dead like 90% of the time and waiting on the respawn timer.

Also the companion loyalty notable to make their damage nodes for you just doesn't do anything so that's nice

Hopefully LE does good numbers to light a fire under GGGs ass. Even if it's only good numbers for 1-2 weeks, it still helps.

Like anything, it's always better for the consumer when there's competition in a space.

FYI the belt over-potion plus eternal life combo doesn't work. You can use health potions at max health with that belt, but nothing happens. The over heal only occurs when your life is below maximum base, which prevents health stacking or even potion spamming with high flask replenish.

Also the gloves don't work either (sac health for ES). Not that I expected them to.

Last Gasp + 50% fast revival means they're only down for ~1s. Bummer about that node not working though, didn't know that.

Anyone had weird server lag issues. I'm getting constant pausing in my hideout, but If I load into a map it's gone ..

Am I wrong in thinking that juicing way stones is dumb now? Waystone sustain is the only thing you get from upping them? Which isn't a problem now. And outside of item rarity or chest nonsense it's just negative mods?

Does anyone know how to get more than 6 points in the map bosses section in the atlas tree, I feel fucking more retarded than normal because I can’t figure it out.

You'll get to a point where 6 affix map shouldn't be an issue, and you'll want to try for 3 prefix with rarity, rarity/quant, and + rares. Also you'll want them for towers to put 3 tablets and citadels where 600% waystone chance gets you at least 3 fragments
