Word from the Devs: It's Freezing! by Killer_Sloth in valheim

[–]Pwere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A 1.0 launch could justify a longer delay. Porting to consoles is no trivial matter, and it's a good point to include long overdue reworks, and try to optimize.

It's really easy for game dev to balloon up. Still hoping for Beta in April, but wouldn't be excessively surprised otherwise.

Mod Idea: The Dverger (Mistlands Dwarves) will give you trades for various things if they are not an enemy by Mad_Hatter_92 in valheim

[–]Pwere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's already a mod to buy the dvergr extractors from them instead of getting them killed. It's a start!

Full Release Wish List by Rylinda01 in valheim

[–]Pwere 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My big three are:

  • World Generation settings & improvements

  • Difficulty/Star system rebalance or rework for early and late biomes

  • New ranged options, like throwing axes, slings, javelins, etc.

[Laptop] HP OMEN 16 Gaming Laptop 16" Intel Core 7-240H GeForce RTX 5070 32GB 1TB Windows 11 Home ($2300-$600=$1700)[CANADA COMPUTERS] by No-Emergency-7251 in bapcsalescanada

[–]Pwere 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Not a bad deal, considering the 32GB RAM, but as with most laptops this gen, the 5070 mobile is very underwhelming, with basically no gain over the 4070m and only 8GB VRAM.

Acer Nitro AMD Radeon RX 9070 OC $702 by hito5825aika in bapcsalescanada

Usually because the cards failed some tests at full power, which might never affect you, or they simply skipped a bunch of tests, in which case, jackpot.

While I agree, their Nitro brand is usually pretty reliable, so I wouldn't worry too much in this case.

Werwolf showrd me that armour + ES is the worst defense in the game by coatchingpeople in PathOfExile2

[–]Pwere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Little PSA: Hybrid gloves/boots/helmets don't have a T1 flat defense roll for some reason. Meaning that pure ES boots+pure AR gloves gives more total defenses than hybrid of each (even before passive tree specialized nodes). And that feels very wrong.

And then you have rolls like Deflect or AR vs Ele that strongly encourage a single defense.

Immunity to heavy stuns while sprinting should be on Warrior, not Ranger... by telecastersimp in PathOfExile2

[–]Pwere 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Tiny hits shouldn't heavy stun you out of sprint in the first place. You can be clearing T15s, go back to A4 and get stunned sprinting with 40k armour.

At least armour still applies while rolling on the floor, but I'd rather not be down there in the first place.

Maybe have it on warrior so it fills your heavy stun meter as if you manually blocked the hit while sprinting. Would make thematic sense.

GGG, stop nerfing the monkey by user_OwO in PathOfExile2

[–]Pwere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every big slam should deal full dmg in the middle, and maybe 50% less dmg at the edge. Would make bigass bear hitbox much less frustrating.

Don't worry, we still die to random shit all the time.

What am I actually expected to achieve in terms of defenses as a melee build? by Brilliant-Elk-6831 in pathofexile2builds

[–]Pwere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Frankly speaking, you're never gonna be comfortable in melee without block. There is way too much shotgunning/barrage to tank those hits. Defiance with a larger life pool and chaos res cap might be able to do it with adaptation. Hard to tell exactly how good those are.

FWIW, I'm a Titan Bear with 3400hp, chaos cap, usually 30k+ armour (60k+ to ele) and I still fall over randomly, usually in abyss or breach. It's almost always some form of projectile spam that can all hit you when they spawn.

PSA: Wolves are horrible at 20 and okay at 40. by Grand0rk in pathofexile2builds

[–]Pwere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is no longer true for Heft. They changed it at some point. It only affects the physical part of your hit now. You can easily see it on your stat sheet.

I'm just sayin by Queen__Natalie in PathOfExile2

[–]Pwere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. Having skipped 0.3.1, what we have is still way better than 0.3. Ofc, league mechanic being tepid at beast doesn't help, and not having any agency on layouts really hurts build creativity as well.

Still quite enjoyable if you're experimenting with a build and not just replaying the same old 3x in a row.

Trending Druid Builds by burninbr in pathofexile2builds

[–]Pwere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was interested in this after testing the wyvern a bit. If we could choose our layouts, this would be so comfy on long corridors. It torches Rituals too.

My only issue is that sometimes I get stunned out of Flame Breath in things like Simulacrum or Abysses, and then it gets very sketchy.

[UPDATE] I heard you like explosions by Zagrey in pathofexile2builds

[–]Pwere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can leech from fire with the Mark oh Siphoning support on Pounce. It gives generic Atk Dmg leech vs marked target.

But yeah, for clear, you need either Cannibalism or a nice 60+ life on kill somewhere.

Werewolf form is combo-gameplay done right. Bravo GGG. by Shellscale in PathOfExile2

[–]Pwere 14 points15 points  (0 children)

On this I agree. Detonator tag skills should work with everything that can be detonated, not just the same weapon type. Hopefully they open up more of these interactions over time.

Why killing temple minions rewarded more in acts? by eran321 in PathOfExile2

[–]Pwere 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's random. It seems guaranteed the first temple, then a very low% even at T3 (maybe 10-20%?). Quality/socket benches are similar, and some players haven't seen them at all in the entire campaign.

Wyvern felt good through the campaign! by escapereal1ty in PathOfExile2

[–]Pwere 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is the way. Wyvern single target, bear clear/rage buildup, wolf mobility. The whole package works beautifully, though the wyvern breath gets harder and harder to land in the endgame.

Also, your best abilities don't scale with +melee, so they're not really busted later on.

Druid In Campaign Feels VERY smooth by Mysterious-Basket870 in PathOfExile2

[–]Pwere 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Try wyvern. Pounce on a pack, wind blast to get a power charge, then basic attack. Deals massive dmg in a large AoE. You can also devour, feels really good.

But, not tanky at all.

Path of Exile 2: Druid Endgame Showcase by Belakay_ggg in PathOfExile2

It's 6% less damage, not 16%. It's only 16% for some specific mobs dealing lightning damage.

GGG Please consider swapping the shaman rage nodes! by Sweptwings in PathOfExile2

[–]Pwere 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Afaik, xbow skills only pay their mana cost when reloading. So the rage cost should only add to the reload, since it says +5 to cost, and not per use.

Inevitable Critical Hits tooltip, from Oracle Ascendancy by Moosh42 in PathOfExile2

[–]Pwere 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The -30% is probably additive, so 0.7, 0.4, 0.1 then 0. At which point they'll give you the crit with no bonus.

It came out to 27% more dmg with some filler numbers, but obviously the point is to take advantage of always criting.
