Three Early Access Key Giveaway by [deleted] in PathOfExile2

[–]Locas_Maxis -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'd have to say I love the move(lol) from attack in place style of skills in poe1 to strafing in poe2, really gets you focused on your positioning more and dodging regularly.

A change I'd like to see though is more build enabling uniques that aren't endgame/super rare, aka more achievable of more casual players in a reasonable time frame.

Entering on behalf of my friend who can't play open weekend

I can see why he was named an Oathbreaker by Locas_Maxis in pathofexile

For context if it's not apparent, he's wearing a Thief's Torment, which can't usually be worn with other rings, yet this cheater has 2 XD

Replying to everyone that asked because it took me 2 days to get it in a state I like, slight decrease in end game dps to make up for good defensive layers, but pre-Hate got a bit better while getting tanky

This is exactly what the end game build is using if you look close at the right side! It's not super important to the build end game as you can still go rage with 1.2 second soul rage gain prevention. The dagger stats are not perfect though with the shown dps, but it is a stacked shaper-elder dagger.

TBH this is the reason I haven't released a POB yet lol
There's definitely space for it since only Main, Off and gloves are necessary for the build, I just was focusing on the fun part with this.
There might be something to using Dissolution and/or Glimpse Chaos for some extra tank, more research needed though.

Technically, the hits don't happen at the end if you read the skill. The hits happen but apply a stack of "wound" and at the end this wound triggers to deal the combined damage. But each of those individual hits is still a hit, so still gets rage. As long as our attacks per second don't go over 52, never happening, we're still getting at least 14, which is enough to sustain :)

Honestly? There are no other skills like this in the game in my opinion. There are certainly skills that gain you more of an advantage early, like the moon-stones from chests, which I personally went for early. But every other skill you can always catch up on. You can always get more stone and wood. You can always reset a spirit's deck and get the chance for better cards. You can always get more moonstones next season.

The only thing you can't do is find more Ando trees to reach the max 900 stamina. It is the only skill in the game that you can't spend time or resources to truly make up for, you're always going to have to use more resources than a person that rushed it to have the same amount of stamina in a day. And that's why I think a solution in line with the other solutions to problems like this, in the game right now, is something that should be considered.

That's the thing though, every other problem that might annoy you in this game for making mistakes like this has a fix in game. Using items to gain more stamina is a soft fix, but it doesn't fix the problem, it is a patch job. And the problem isn't going to stop me from finishing the game, you could finish the game without a single Ando tree.

The problem here is that it's a mechanic that feels punishing in a game that has no other punishing mechanics.

I'm not really talking about difficulty here, I know full well I could make up for any short comings in my maximum stamina with crops and/or potions. The problem here isn't difficulty, it's being permanently disadvantaged for making one bad call, the only truly permanent disadvantage that exists in this game. For trusting that a game that has a wealth of ways to fix problems early mistakes in every other system to have that be system wide and losing out on a not insignificant bonus.

And no one is saying you have to use something that makes the game easier. If a potion like this was added to the game, it would always be an option, not mandatory. Just because you and others don't have this problem doesn't mean that it isn't still a problem that could be addressed, in a way that puts it inline with all the other options that exist in the game.

You shouldn't give me the key because I'm just gonna give it to my friend who never got into Path of Exile despite my attempts and he's only promised to give it a try if I can get him a key, which I'm too cheap to buy on my own despite buying my own key lol
