At last second I about faced from trickster toxic rain to skele necro. So far no real regrets. Was just kind of over chaos dots despite the OP nature of TR.

Zombies. Just zombies.

Turned in a Void at lvl 59 and got a Montreguls Grasp. This shit is easier than Cyclone.

It reminds me of pre-nerf storm brand if that makes sense. More casting to get the skeles but run and tap convocation and watch shit explode.

I tried the blight again. I really don't know what is going on. But I finished it and got some loot. A unique helm that doesn't help me at all. Still act 1. Guess I will lvl and see what the deal is.

Spectres while lvling with new necro are definitely super broken. Basically if you put them in a +2 helm with the necro +2, at gem lvl 17, which is like, lvl 65 or whatever, you can have 4 spectres(with death attunement obviously but that's like something you'd take regardless) that are lvl 81. This melts fucking everything.

I wasn't planning on using spectres in my build, only taking them while lvling since don't have the full setup yet etc, but damn not sure I'll drop them, we'll see I guess. Using Kitava Heralds and I thought these fuckers were agressive cause they lob balls across the screen and leap slam on shit really far already, but hilariously if you link feeding frenzy on them, they get even crazier. These fucks will throw red balls of death at shit that's not even on my screen yet even though I'm running ahead of them.

I am enjoying death mark so much. Gives me that RTS micro. Tower Defense is also really fun.

Definitely did not expect.

Cyclone feels like garbage in early levels. Not very far in yet, but the change is pretty striking. That is all.

Also, I hate summoners, but necros are hilarious at the moment! I prefer to use a life/armor dude to do all the stupid lab stuff first so I will see how cyclone works as the gem levels, but I expect to switch to the necro at end game.

Didn't play today. Watched Mathil run a tier 5 blighted map. OMG the amount of shit was lagging hard. Looting he hit alt and crashed. Took him 10 minutes to get all the loot porting back to town til he ran out of portals.

It gets better once it levels up some and you get decent weapons. It’s now more in line with all the other melee skills that suck to level with sans twink gear.

Still not sold on the league, not that anybody cares heh. I never got out of act 1. I'm making a new divine ire build. I don't think the build path I was on was going to work out well. I never plan on a build doing top end content like shaper and such. We shall see. Divine Ire totem I think.

Anybody else having run issues with the game since the last patch? I keep getting exception errors that close out the game. Is this Loot UI related? I noticed that my Loot UI no longer works.

Anyone playing mines/traps and got any feedback. Not playing now but I might down the line if they are good.

Try reinstalling the filter. You can run a check on the game files in poe with packcheck. I think it's in the game files or you can download it from the forums.

I am running the packcheck file in admin mode. All it seems to do is sit and blink with a "Checking File content. ggpk" message. Does this take a long time to do or is this just doing nothing?

Apparently this does take a while according to the forums. Well if this does not doing anything will just delete and reinstall the whole game.

well, its alot like breach really. hit button stand still, kill hordes of npcs that run to you, collect a metric shit ton of loot.

*with the right build. totems should work well. Necros obviously do. If you have a melee build and need to run from path to path to kill shit. yeah, fuck that shit.

theres a challenge for upgrading each tower type to its max. however, in practice, a bunch of level 1 towers is more effective. minion, ice, seismic, lightning. fire sucks.


Traps/mines probably actually have a chance this league, due to blight. Again, stand in place, and npcs ccome to your mines/traps..

PoB is updated with the new skill gems.

Carrion golem is not quite implemented correctly yet.
Carrion golems have a very low base attack damage. This makes it seem like they do very little dps on path of building.
As they "combo attack", just lists basic auto attack, instead of the boosted,
"The non-cooldown attack deals 135% of their base damage with the first two swings which are wide cones, while the third to sixth swing deals 162% of base damage with 200% more attack speed"
And at the same time, the "up to 80% more damage" self buff does not seem to be implemented either.
So take any number listed and multiply it by like 230% and, thats closer to actual damage.

Well the good news is, I figured out what was causing the exception errors on the game. The bad news is that it was related to my video card dying. I found that out when I went to reboot and suddenly all my desktop icons were much larger with random color streaks running through. The Control Panel acknowledged the lack of an Nvidia GPU connected. I pulled out the card(It was 5 years old) and put it back in, in the vane hope that it was just loosely connected. That was not the issue.

The other good news is that I just spent a lot of money on my new Rogue Asus Laptop. Game works fine with the 2080 RTX video card in that system.

It gives me time to get a not nearly as expensive replacement for my desktop.
