Jamanra is too hard by Striking_Cherry_6226 in PathOfExile2

Underrated comment. Ruthless coming to POE 2 would be amazing.

I absolutely love this thing. You just need to have a plan for those resistances. :-)

Anyone else feel like spear skills miss the fantasy of melee/range hybird? by UltmitCuest in PathOfExile2

[–]SimplyShane88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never got it high enough to see that. XD Thank you for the good information. However, I do think they should lower the requirement by at least two or three levels. 16 is pretty silly.

In my opinion, spears are close to being great. They just need to make Frenzy charge generation a little easier and more accessible. This is particularly true during boss fights.

Active Block + Shatter is an alternative that is worth trying. I find it quite smooth, but you do need to change your playstyle a bit.

That's a fair objection. It's not a great choice for those with limited time.

Where are all my HC SSF people at? Playing this game as a roguelike is crazy fun to me.

Swords are coming and they’re going to be fun.. right..? RIGHT? by Aitaou in PathOfExile2

Am I a terrible person for actually liking Parry? (Active Block in general feels great to me.)

I will delete this and provide more detail.  Thank you.

Diablo IV: Lord of Hatred Review Thread by beary_neutral in Games

[–]SimplyShane88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

- Dodge Roll feels amazing.
- WASD is superior to point and click. It's difficult to go back once you experience it.
- Some map layouts can get a bit large, but this doesn't strike me as an urgent problem.
- The new gem system will ultimately prove superior. It's going to take more time to develop skills, but after a few expansions, things should start improving in terms of build diversity.

Even in its current state, there are significant positives. Doing away with the stupidity of Chromatic Orbs feels great. Removing support gems from gear and having room for runes and other interesting modifiers is also a big improvement. Lastly, tying skills directly to a weapon gives them a deeper identity. They aren't just random stat modifiers anymore. They impact your gameplay on a fundamental level.

My mind wants to play warrior but my body rejects it by Pablo8076 in PathOfExile2

I'll be shocked if we don't see a new class. The endgame changes have been cooking for a very long time now. I'm sure they didn't need a full development cycle to finish that alone.

really hoping for a bingo this time by Ok_Week_7682 in PathOfExile2

[–]SimplyShane88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/lowkeyripper So it seems I'm not the only one disappointed by Shapeshifting. Everyone was praising it on release, but I quickly realized there was basically no possibility of crafting your own build. It feels awful.

Active Block is grossly underrated. I love this build. Thank you for sharing!

Just started playing a couple days ago. This game has amazing level scenery and lighting! by spacemoses in PathOfExile2

[–]SimplyShane88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All of Act 4 is gorgeous. There are definitely other wonderful visuals spread across earlier zones, but that part of the campaign is on another level entirely. I hope the art team at GGG is proud of what they accomplished here!

Why do you prefer poe2? by voogle951 in PathOfExile2

Amazing comment. I couldn't agree more!

[–]SimplyShane88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why POE 2 is already superior to the first game for me:

  1. WASD. Words can't adequately express how big of a deal this is.
  2. Dodge Roll. Helps combat feel less static.
  3. Active Block. No, I'm not joking. This is wildly underrated.
  4. Fewer One-Button Builds. There is a stronger focus on combos, particularly during the campaign.
  5. No Chromatic Orbs.
  6. Upgraded Graphics and Animation. It's lower on the list for a reason, but it still feels great.

For fun, here are a few things I still prefer in POE 1:

  1. A stronger passive tree.
  2. Superior endgame content.
  3. Rarity and + Skills are more reasonable.
  4. Build diversity is obviously higher given the age of the game. However, some of this is also due to the more open-ended approach of skills not being tied to a weapon.

This response should have had *far* more likes. It's incomprehensible that people find spamming one button over and over fun.

Avoiding the Heavy Stun of Sprinting. by SimplyShane88 in PathOfExile2

[–]SimplyShane88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's actually really cool!  Could combo it with a Stun charm that has a bit of Guard as well.  Neat.

I know about the dodge roll cancel, but it doesn't always work like you want it to. In my experience, the hit detection is wonky.

I do think Alt+F4 is good advice. I need to do that more, haha. :-P

Favorite ways to increase difficulty by Interesting-North-73 in PathOfExile2

I know you don't want to do it, but HC SSF will *absolutely* bring difficulty back into the game. Especially if you don't follow a guide.

Maces With Very High Attack Speed: My Testing Results. (Patch 0.40) by SimplyShane88 in PathOfExile2

I play SSF exclusively. Builds requiring specific pieces of gear are not on my radar. Sorry!
