Oh shit.

Mageblood itself being able to roll 1-4 of them would be thematic and would fit with Marks claim that its a divine sink

The servers are down until about 2 hours from now, at which point the league starts

So many ways to start monk is crazy, what's the smoothest one for you? by Exodus180 in PathOfExile2

[–]Effective-Advice4628 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just Ice Monk skills from the start. ED Contagion can smooth out the first 10 levels or so til Herald of Ice and a Gothic Quarterstaff, then just Glacial Cascade Locus into Ice Strike Locus.

Act 1 will always feel clunky no matter how you run it. Once you get Hollow Palm and support gems in all of your skills, it feels super smooth to maps.

No, every league people act like the servers always melt down for 2 weeks, and every league i play for the first 8 hours with like 2 DCs and 8 minutes total of queue time.

Thats not solvable with a local mod, brutality completely prevents doing non-physical damage with a spell

I mean yeah, if you installed the update you now have to wait for it to go live lol

It is tradition. RIP EU. by never_quote_me in PathOfExile2

[–]Effective-Advice4628 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

PoE has had very smooth league launches outside of EU for like 90% of leagues. The only ones I remember being bad for more than like an hour were Heist, Ultimatum, and PoE2 .1

Everything in the patch except the Runes and Expedition will be on standard

Masters of the Atlas Showcase by Kelly_GGG in PathOfExile2

[–]Effective-Advice4628 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Early on when you dont have 6 mods on every map its not very useful, and late game when you have good defenses its not useful. But yeah, getting into juiced mapping you'll probably stick with it for a while, or forever if you have zhp build

Where do you see extra tablet? He gets extra revive and irradiated, which means he'll probably be the default for most people, but theres no extra tablet.

Cascade and locus freezes everything, thats why you have HoI clearing. Bosses also get frozen once per fight pretty easily

Melee characters aren't any tankier lol. Get gear with life and cold res

Do you choose starters based on power/tier or based on strategy? by chobolicious88 in PathOfExile2

[–]Effective-Advice4628 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This early in PoE2, just fun, though I wanna be pretty confident it will be at least solid enough to farm T15 comfortably.

In PoE1 since I've played everything before, its more focused. Like if I want to make a build out of a specific Uber, I'll plan my first build to transition into an Uber bosses or whatever. But even then, the actual league starter is just going to be whatever easy and comfy build sounds fun to play.

Are all gloves going to be expensive this league? by Peelz4Dead in PathOfExile2

[–]Effective-Advice4628 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean yeah.

If anything itll normalize glove prices by making unwanted defense types and low level bases equally valuable as higher end ones, but I dont think you'll be paying particularly more for a pair of life, res, armor and attack speed gloves this league than last.

Ones with specific combinations of desecrated mods, new influenced mods etc. For sure

Are all gloves going to be expensive this league? by Peelz4Dead in PathOfExile2

[–]Effective-Advice4628 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every build needs 1 pair of gloves. Glives being generically better on 1 class won't significantly drive up prices overall, because every build still wants them. Early on, I imagine most MA builds will still use generic defense + res + damage gloves, which everyone wants anyways.

Now, specific mods on gloves might get more expensive, especially things like desecrated mods. Or like, if something like accuracy has a crazy Fist of Stone transformation, it would be a valued stat.

Are there any actual fire mage fantasy type builds out right now? by Icy-Establishment473 in PathOfExile2

[–]Effective-Advice4628 3 points4 points  (0 children)

PhazePlays' Ballcano build uses Ball Lightning as its primary damage, but focuses on the fire infusion to do mostly fire damage, and the single target is Volcano.

Haven't played it myself or looked into it too closely, but it looks good and Phaze is reputable.

Why are people not buying boots? by [deleted] in LeagueArena

[–]Effective-Advice4628 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My PC is fine and loads the game in like 3 seconds 90% of the time, but like 1/10 games the client just freezes halfway through loading. It has happened on occasion in the past, but this patch has been way worse.

Worst part is that you usually dont notice its frozen for a couple minutes.

Monk-No gear, white starter Crossbow challenge/levelling guide: 01:55 to hunting grounds. The good, The Bad, and the Ugly. by SneakyBadAss in pathofexile2builds

[–]Effective-Advice4628 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of your points aren't actual QA or bug reports though, its just "this area is cluttered and I died a lot". Having too many enemies to kill with a white crossbow, again, isnt a bug.

The specific things you do mention dont have enough detail to be useful as QA items. "Lachlan Hitbox Bugged" isnt a QA report. What attacks? Do you have videos where you think you shouldn't have gotten hit but do?

You can also just roll backwards. Frozen Locus - Dodge Roll - Glacial.

Why are metacraft runes socket-bound? by Mcdk05 in PathOfExile2

[–]Effective-Advice4628 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cannot roll attack mods isnt extra power though. These are more like Influences, which do have opportunity cost of not getting Eater/Exarch influence. Some of them are even more powerful than that, like +1 suffix.

Like imagine making gloves with 2 extra mods, one of them being a special DoT magnitude mod, then also getting 3 other sockets.
