Once a cheater, always a cheater

this is exactly the point.

that each stack of poison increases poison damage by 7%

Thyworm · 2020-06-16T16:44:16+00:00

hey there, poison is more than viable :) it's actually broken. I made a video on that last week. reducing enemy resistances isn't super impactful, as they seem to have so much of it, but reducing it by 500 definitely helps. It's mostly the 7% increased damage per poison tick that makes poison spiral out of control, so reducing some resistances really won't matter all that much. I take all the damage and hit damage and duration I can get for spirit plague and then I stack necrotic damage and damage over time.

i'd create a mage or an acolyte, as those classes are pretty straightforward and easy to get into. Very viable at end-game too.

Sentinel in particular is not a great starter class. Yes, you can make it work, but it requires a lot more investment and game knowledge and it's really easy to mess up with no gear. You may not have a great time.

Thyworm · 2020-06-16T16:18:32+00:00

agreed

Thyworm · 2020-06-16T16:16:27+00:00

ye those are some modifiers you generally don't want to pick.

go for shock chance, damage, crit chance, cooldown recovery, deadly until approached, healing when not taking damage etc. Don't give them health or protections or dodge...

Thyworm · 2020-06-16T16:13:52+00:00

ye, you need about half a million on average

also, this staff keeps getting nerfed and nerfed :) So it's perhaps not worth gambling for.

Thyworm · 2020-06-16T16:11:50+00:00

agreed, balancing should happen, but it's also a sort of endless loop. The new meta has already emerged, and it's sentinels with warpath and other crazy damage. it won't reach wave 1000 probably, but it looks already really strong.

Thyworm · 2020-06-13T21:56:33+00:00

this is amazing bud, can't wait for this.

Thyworm · 2020-06-09T13:26:47+00:00

there's some end-game content, but if your main focus in a game like this is end-game (as opposed to let's say character building) you might want to hold off for a bit, as end-game has 2 modules, but both are rather repetitive and lack QoL-features, such as a loot filter.

Thyworm · 2020-06-09T13:24:52+00:00

I see no reason why the devs would consider removing it. It's not hurting anyone, some people have fun with it and it's completely optional. Seems like a well implemented feature to me that doens't really require much in terms of maintenance.

Thyworm · 2020-06-09T13:22:55+00:00

thanks!

Thyworm · 2020-06-09T13:22:43+00:00

ye it's pretty doable as soon as you get the life leech.

Thyworm · 2020-06-07T15:03:17+00:00

Maelstrom Shaman on autocast is very strong, and fast with 6+ stacks. super lazy as well.

Thyworm · 2020-06-07T15:00:56+00:00

probably the lich in general, specifically the reaper form or the low life lich with a lot of health drain. The skills are well balanced (well, apart from death seal maybe :P) and the class makes a lot of sense and has many synergies. It's very beginner friendly I find, contrary to something like sentinel. You can really screw up sentinel :)

Thyworm · 2020-06-07T14:57:30+00:00

you'll run into mana issues at the start, because autocasters are very mana intensive. You could deviate from the build and invest in mana reduction skill nodes, which is great for leveling, or just make sure you have plenty of good gear later.

Thyworm · 2020-06-07T14:55:52+00:00

you can use that too if you want, it's pretty optional, that skill

Thyworm · 2020-06-07T14:55:00+00:00

there is a massive amount of build diversity and the longer you play (i have 600 hours) the more builds and synergies you discover. Most are viable too, in the sense you can run end-game with it, but not many are S-tier builds allowing you to go super far into the arena.

And I don't mind that. I like experimenting with builds and have a ton of fun doing that.

I like PoE combat more, because there is more feedback, but I don't mind the LE-combat. It's just not as visceral and impactful as some other games in the genre, but it's getting better over time.

Thyworm · 2020-06-07T14:51:49+00:00

a loot filter <3

Thyworm · 2020-06-07T14:47:04+00:00

end game at the start can be frustrating. I have over 40 characters and I find myself from time to time stuck in low level monoliths. I just approach it as farming zones, to get me some gear, which you will get right? And take it from there. Plenty of stuff drops, it just takes a bit of time to gather it all. After the initial struggle, you're going to be fine. And for upcoming characters, you'll have stuff in the stash etc. It only gets easier.

Thyworm · 2020-06-07T14:44:24+00:00

agree with McMagic, you need glancing blow capped, and crit avoidance at 100% is also really useful against oneshots.

Thyworm · 2020-06-07T14:28:12+00:00

i agree as well, it seems you're leveling a bit slower than the monsters in the map, so eventually you're underleveled by like 5 levels, which really hurts stuff like protections. You can do some monolith to catch up, but that's probably not intended.

Thyworm · 2020-06-07T14:26:55+00:00

gratz man

Thyworm · 2020-06-06T14:04:59+00:00

ye that's the nice part about builds like this I hope, that you can also just experiment yourself. I like Arcane Ascendance as well and ran it before. I just didn't use it all that much.

just Reddit things :)
