oh snap!
a recent beta addition. very nice.
Making deadeye eve more useless, when you get it on a bow.
Blasphemy is back.
added cold was already solid. odd, huge buff. old was 125-188 at 20. new 169-254
WED now works with unarmed and SRS. (note that for your srs was nerfed!)
ice bite seems potentially solid now, for any frenzy build. raider. flickerstrike. 10 frenzy build. 69-103 added cold, +150-230 added cold from 10 frenzy.
I presume there is now some burning or poison chain build. with, deadly ailments. bow or burning arc?
My plan A is a charged dash raider. New skill so may be total shit. phys sword, shield is plan.
Plan B is glacial cascade witch.
new shields are amazing.
About time. not sure its big enough though.
Ascendant. anyone parse through that? any changes from when they gave their preview, and it still sucked?

The necro nerf sucks tbh, should have just changed allies to minions on damage and it'd be fixed without massively nerfing LL summoners. Maybe they thought LL summoners were too strong too but it seems like some shitty nerf to fix supports that also ends up affecting a small subset of builds that weren't really broken to me.

I played one in the Legacy league. It's pretty fun when you get it up and running watching mobs melt, but it loses it's luster pretty quick. I swapped in other things like SR Glacial Cascade/Firestorm to mix things up a bit.

Slightly reduced mob XP at higher levels.... The 15-21 hour level 100s must have rattled them. It takes so so much work to prepare to speed grind to 100 like that. I mean even the normal grind to 100 takes about an hour of prep a session to either roll maps if doing Shores or hit the market and sextant Poorjoys.

I hope by higher levels they mean 95+ because they already nerfed xp 80+ which sucks for the non-poopsockers.

It's going to be really interesting to see how the balancing plays out. I almost think they tried to do a little too much at once. Making an ARPG 10 acts 1 playthrough is a pretty amazing feat. I'm thinking they should have focused on only the extra 5 acts and some minor tuning for 3.0 with a promise that the next focus would be a major meta overhaul for 3.1 within a couple months.

I also have a pretty high degree in confidence that between players discovering new stuff and balance adjustments by the devs this game will remain the best arpg in history.
I've been farting around on diablo 3 since the 2 week ended. Was going to post this in our diablo thread but probably no point, but holy shit is the game bad. I've gotten maybe three days out of it (paragon 300 so far) and it's hard to log in. Can do maybe 2 hours at a time at this point. Every POE league can hold me for about a month, and the first two weeks are full on i'm in addicted must play mode.

Oh I have faith in GGG; I just think the pierce and shock changes were somewhat minor reworks that could have been left off till another patch.
And yeah, I bought that necromancer pack for D3 and lasted all of two days. D3 just doesn't hold a candle to POE at this point.

Same, though I think it's a combination of a few things. D3 obviously has pretty much no developer support anymore. And based on the "quality" of the necromancer, it's not even B-team level. It's hard to invest yourself in another season of sameness, part of which is cosmetics acquisition, when the game doesn't feel like it has a future.
After getting used to on-demand movement skills in PoE(or just zipping around if they weren't available for your spec), the slow as fuck Necro just feels so bad. Fuck moving anywhere at ~40% move speed.
I do expect I'll pick PoE back up on Friday and miss that smooth combat and movement skills.

Who?

Who?Its hilarious how people have to choose one side or the other. D3 and POE fill different roles. I don't even really consider them the same genre. I play both and both are fun and then rapidly become unfun and I stop playing until there is a reason to play again.

Ya I got pooped on when someone in the D3 thread said they were trying it and asked for tips and I said 'download POE so it's ready when you get bored in 2 days'.

But they are the same genre. The exact same genre. But I played a good amount of D3 back in the day so I just poke fun, to each their own.
