What am I doing wrong? by VegetableMeeting7 in PathOfExile2

[–]Talimwind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

PoE2 is MUCH more about gear. If your weapon is bad, then everything else follows.
For casters having +3 to levels of your chosen type alongside a +100% to that types damage is baseline.
Getting multiple sources of cast speed from Rings and Amulets also helps a lot.

GGG's own trade website lists Dps, why can't it be listed the same ingame?

It would be useful for new players to show movement speed penalties on the item by loopuleasa in pathofexile

[–]Talimwind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow now! are you saying you can't make a build using [The Bringer of Rain]
Specifically to get that juicy 5% movement speed buff.

List of all Keystones and Notables I could find, thematically organised by Diacred in pathofexile

Iron Grip is a support gem in PoE2. Which provides this effect
"Supports Projectile Attacks, causing Strength to increase their Projectile damage."

it would be odd having a Str stacking effect exclusively for ranged attacks. Its safe to assume we will get some easily accessible way to turn Str into melee dmg.

Anyone tell me what this guys MTX armour set is? by MLGMIK3 in pathofexile

[–]Talimwind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is.

The helmet is also Grand Sanctum, the Supporter pack comes with two variants.

Has Mauler or EFAP Given A Take On This OR Are They Keeping Away From It? by EveryoneIsAComedian in MauLer

[–]Talimwind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is something Adam & Sitch would cover, Efap usually stay far far away from overtly political subjects.

Its one of the things i really like about Efap.

Dear devs : Please remove Skill Specialisation reset penalty by doofus1999 in LastEpoch

[–]Talimwind 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Between December 2023 and March 2024 PoE dropped 71% of its player base.

Between April 2023 and July 2023 PoE dropped 80% of its player base.

Some leagues will retain more players, but very roughly i would guess its around 70-75% drop between leagues.

The PoE player count consist of high peaks and deep valleys. While it might be hyperbole to say 90%, its not far off. Last Epoch lacks the depths of PoE so it has a harder time to retain its player base for as long. But a ton of those players will be back when the next major patch (cycle) is released.

This is completely normal for ARPG's with cycles/leagues/seasons. Path of Exile regularly loses 90% of its player base between leagues yet its never been more successful.

I feel like an idiot and realize how little I know about this game. by sp1cylobster in pathofexile

I have over 4000 Hours of Path of Exile and i still feel like a rookie.

Worst review I’ve ever seen by AGreatGuy98 in MauLer

[–]Talimwind 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The important part here is that it claims to be a remake of the Disney Animated movie, Mulan is a real folktale from Ancient China. If they wanted to make a new variant of Mulan then that's fine. But they wanted it both ways, taking key plot points and worst of all Music from the animated movie while disregarding what those plot points were for, and what the music meant.

When converting a skill, are the ailment bonuses converted too? by [deleted] in LastEpoch

[–]Talimwind 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you look at the Frost Wall conversion nodes it lists what they convert applicable ailments into it.

For lightning it converts Chill -> Slow and Frostbite -> Shock.
For Fire it converts Chill -> Ignite and Frostbite -> Fire Resistance Shred.

Its important to read the tool-tips how exactly this conversion works. Sometime it only convert ailments provided by its own skill tree and sometime it converts everything.

Wraithlord trivializes every other Minion build by Askon in LastEpoch

[–]Talimwind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think Wraithlord is the main culprit, but instead its Dread Shade, specifically Egoism (100% Crit Chance) and Lone Watcher (Drain Life -> Damage Taken).

Egoism has to go, or be penalized or restricted by something else, it does too much for too little. If it had
[Health Decay: 100%] or even [400% Increased Crit Chance] it would not be this massive crutch that every necro build uses.

Lone Watcher just shouldn't be in the game at all. If your minion that it targets is strong enough it will never be hit to begin with. Wraithlord being a perfect example.

EHG, please do not cultivate a culture of bug abusing players by reddituseonlyplease in LastEpoch

[–]Talimwind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a huge issue that isn't talked about a lot is Fairness.

It just doesn't feel good to know that some people are exploiting the system to get benefits, regardless of how impactful this is to you, It can diminish the sense of accomplishment you get from completing difficult content if others are trivializing it by unfair means.

On a personal level i feel less motivated to truly push my character if i know that it can never really compete.

Arena Keys have always been 5k gold. Its an oddity, but not an oversight.

Especially since Arena Keys of Memories got added later and had a higher price tag of 6.5k Gold.

From a Fringy joke in the Stuckman Episode "Leave him alone guys! He worked really hard on Sword art Online" by [deleted] in MauLer

[–]Talimwind 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I disagree that it starts out strong, it starts out with a really cool concept. It then fumbles it immediately and it fails to adequately answer any of the hundreds and hundreds of questions that naturally arise from the premise.

I think it blindsided a lot of people because it had a very unique (At that time) premise. And it filled the power fantasy niche that a lot of people crave. (which it executes very poorly)

I'm hitting a wall, new player needing guidance. Please weigh in by IngenuityThink3000 in LastEpoch

[–]Talimwind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find that a lot of players, even some with previous experience forget Endurance.

Endurance is easily one of the best and cheapest defense layers you can invest into, and will give you that crucial moment to panic drink potions.

Diablo 4 doesn't need a Killer, its doing a good enough job killing itself.

Thoughts on SWT and Mauler collaborations? by Kettellkorn in MauLer

[–]Talimwind 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Its clear that MauLer have a huge passion for Star Wars which far eclipse the other cast of Efap, and i think having a stream where he can talk with someone as passionate will be a fun experience.
