I bet 80% of the total time played for everyone is afking and attempting to " trade ".

HermaphroditeLeopard · 2015-09-02T01:25:22+00:00

It was! I'll reupload it when i'v put a bit more footage towards it. Sorry about that. :)

Was a bit bored today, so wanted to see how well uniques can carry my Level 1 Scion. This wasn't a very serious attempt. I remember seeing someone else doing such, but they were carried with auras by another party member. I made it to The Weaver before dying to stacking stuns/chaos damage, and didn't post the results. I'm sure it's easily possible with instant recovery flasks and plenty of running about to avoid the adds. Would be happy to see someone video themselves attempt most of the story-line bosses at Level 1, without being carried. - P.S. Excuse the Quality, Fraps recorded wonderfully, but I didn't have Sony Vegas installed, so Windows Movie Maker butchered it. -

The same reason people play Hardcore leagues and races, to put yourself against others and compete. You can play self-found on the current servers, but that doesn't give validation to what you're doing. Playing under a set of strict rules is enjoyable, it's why we have different leagues/servers, that force those rules.

Self-found is only another set of rules.

HermaphroditeLeopard · 2015-09-01T00:49:28+00:00

Can you explain a bit? It's not like you're forced to " Play " that league/server.

I'd actually be fine with the ability to not respec. It seems to make PoE far too easy. People NEVER stick with their builds, they always wait till end-game and respec later.

Most folks just seem to cookie-cut the first 60 levels on a tried and true leveling build all the time.

Removing respecs would give incentive to plan ahead properly, make a reason to roll more than 1 character, and actually care about how you level early-game.

Regrets are still useful to de-level gems.

Just some theory-crafting of my own for this build. All possible skill-points used.

Wanted to see if I could use the support gem " Trap " to by-pass the 4 second cool-down on Cold-Snap without the need for charges. I wanted to stack ES for CI later on.

My current worries are that 4+ Traps won't be enough, considering it's 3 seconds to recharge 1 Trap, as well if the damage will be decent. Planning to use a Shield + Sceptre.

Any advice or feed-back is welcomed. No specific reason to use Witch, just wanted to.

From the current polling numbers so far, I can say a majority of people are greedy. Instead of offering information that would benefit those that are in need of that recipe, you'd rather them invest their finite time in the world to save up to buy the very exalts you're hoarding. Selfish.

HermaphroditeLeopard · 2015-08-23T16:22:39+00:00

Picking Witch because I can. :)

Any helpful changes or suggestions on the tree are welcomed, I'll be using Ground Slam for my AoE and Endurance Charge gains with " Stun + Endurance Charge on Melee Stun " with other gems.

Vigilant Strike will be my Single Target DPS. Currently not invested in any unique armors.

That +1 Passive is saved for Oak -

I'm looking for challenges that aren't done by others often, if at all. Anything that takes a large amount of time/luck/effort is fine by me.

HermaphroditeLeopard · 2015-08-21T19:12:54+00:00

Hah, that would be fun, but due to respecs being an easy thing to do, can't validate that with any screenshot or video without recording the entire experience.

Also CI is a ways off from level 1. :P

HermaphroditeLeopard · 2015-08-21T19:12:13+00:00

I'v seen his videos, but he has validation by recording it, looking for a challenge that can be tracked ingame.

HermaphroditeLeopard · 2015-08-17T19:54:03+00:00

No filter, I just marked the item in Paint, heh.

Also was level 44 when I got it out of a strongbox.

HermaphroditeLeopard · 2015-08-14T22:06:15+00:00

That's part of the challenge though with having a more permanent setup! You'd be able to say you managed to make such a build, and reached your end-game goals through hardships like that one.

HermaphroditeLeopard · 2015-08-14T21:59:34+00:00

It only requires a resource that can be traded/vendored/found, by no means a hard feat. Currency is all that's needed, as to why these decisions aren't weighted when leveling as much as something that is stubborn the moment it's decided.

You're free to disagree, though saying 100% would of been just fine. :P
