I don't like it at all because when you get a harder boss down to his last sliver of health you can be aggressive and eat some damage to kill him. Then as you stand victorious with 10HP his tail twitches and kills you. Robbing you of your victory.

Like why?

I mean, after death effects in PoE1 is probably my number one gripe about the game, but at least the loot stays. Those purple explody crystals can eat my ass.

PoE1 trained me well to stay way the fuck back for a couple seconds until I'm sure all the fucking bullshit is over.

yeah, I had a hell of a time as a cold sorc.

some advice. unleash frost nova. game changer.
also, bee line breath of frost in the passive tree. get cold pen.
Impossible for me even with nova and unleash. Fought him for 20 mins, werewolf cycle at least 5 times and still only got him to 50%. Not even close to enough DPS. I feel like this character is bricked now. Even tried subbing in some skeles which helped a little bit.

If you still like the character in general and don't want to restart go back and farm a few more levels.

Turning PoE into a twin stick shooter was a fucking brilliant move.

I'm thinking farm a couple more levels and respec into lightning. Kinda burnt out atm though.

Yeah, I know. When I logged out late last night I was spent. I haven't even hopped back in yet. I wanted to get a look at what other people were doing, catch some launch vids from the community and then decide if I was going to press forward or reroll. "Let's get right back in there" was absolutely not what I was about this morning.

Was gonna roll up a minion build, until I saw all the bad things being said about it.

So Sorc was second choice, decided to try lightning/cold for more damage/some cc, got to act 1 end boss and didn't feel like it was doing enough damage with orb of storms and spark. So went back to tweak to full frost, Frostbolt, Frostbomb, Cold snap, build for as much freeze buildup as possible. Got +2 to cold spells with passive talent and from weapon. Dead boss.

Now I have Frostbolt with 100% to freeze(support gem for 50% freeze buildup plus a couple tree passives), plus unleashed support to fire off 3 frostbolts at once, and then go to town with cold snap like it's a detonate corpse, blow up the frostbolts as they pass mobs and the frozen mob for bigger explosion, now it's really rocking.

Loot seems really stingy, there's some chests I opened and had no loot at all not even gold, and the bosses don't drop much. Also not much in terms of gold to go gambling for items, had to spend a couple thousand to respec to the cold build. And lacking orbs in general to upgrade items levels, have a bunch to add a modifier. I'm sure it'll get better in end game, but doesn't feel rewarding spending time to explore the entire map(some of them are really big like the mines) and not getting much out of it.

Try something like this build.

In my opinion loot varoety is the worst part.....constantly getting nice rare weapons that are either scepters or monk staves and it does me no good. Meanwhile every 2-hander that drops is magic at best and has terrible stats. Like, I know you can craft and make them usable, but if I was a fucking monk I wouldn't have to.

Just beat the Act 2 duo with the necro chick and the beast guy and gonna take a break until tomorrow. Hit level 25 so I'm making progress......and still have no clue if my passive choices are good enough. Went dmg + rage on hit + attack speed so far using a 2-handed mace.

How far are you? Are you in maps yet? I'm almost done with A3 and by all accounts usually have much higher end/more progressed characters in these games than most people here.

And I am not liking what they turned this game into. It's not an ARPG. I was expecting an ARPG.
Near the end of A2.

It's fine if people don't like the game. I'm not saying you have to enjoy it. But PoE1 is still around and they said they're still going to develop it. I'm sure they bled some resources away to crunch for this launch, but it should be business as usual with PoE1 shortly.

Geez, Act 2 ends at level 25? I'm 22 on this sorc (who I started this morning) and feel like I just got there.

I am stubbornly sticking to flame wall, frost bomb, frost bolt, and cold snap. I managed to kill that stupid Count but it was pretty touch and go with the adds during the poem intermissions.

I'm waiting for the inevitable "oh shit" moment everyone who actually likes this game (currently) has when they realize this is going to be what they have to do for EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER they want to test/try. And at every single league start.

When suddenly the crowd that thinks slogging through a hard game is a badge of honor but also don't realize that this game is supposed to be highly replayable and gear / orbs don't drop for shit.

Yea I was thinking that. Its really turned this into a single character per league kind of thing.

Kind of shitty. But then again we don't know if there are PL methods at end game. Considering how rare they made move speed now, I doubt it gets much better.
