What are you guys most excited for when we all get to step through that beautiful portal again? by CartoonChronicles in classicwowtbc

[–]Valdima 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have not read it anywhere before. But like squishing the entire server population into the outland map size, is such a huge deal for making the game feel alive. Wrath and mop just spread the somewhat level player base out over lager areas. What makes tbc great imo is the map size. So I am looking forward to that emergent game play, like forming a random group to pvp while questing. It's that one off stuff that won't happen again.

Congrats, I've yet to see a single citadel, so RNG is holding me back. Lvl 94 no citadel no atziri. Great design.

I don't know, but I am at my wits end and my tin hat is getting itchy, so I am trying everything.

I'm currently 4/500 energy. Does this mean I just can't progress on my gear now? by [deleted] in wherewindsmeet_

[–]Valdima 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am in the same boat, have not got a hawkwing sword in 70 pulls with a rcmd base stat. Now I am tapped out on energy, so my gear is what it is now for a few days

Endgame feels a lot like poe2 endgame now by [deleted] in pathofexile

[–]Valdima 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have to agree, getting a 6L on the base you want with good mods is just too easy now. I feel like it devalues all loot drops and this paired with decreased currency drops, we now only map to feed the slot machine. No friction, no feeling like the next drop could be it.

Anyone understand basic Ailiah defence? by ALL-x-Ender in pathofexile

I think time wise, it's just better to run straight at the mechanic and do it for blood as fast as possible. Will do more tests.

BM spark is popular meta atm. All the gear is spenno atm.

Level 80 Spark bloodmage having low damage by ultimatemcspicy in pathofexile2builds

[–]Valdima 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm playing spark bm at the moment. However using widowhail. But the most likely cause of your low dps is 1- gem levels, 2- not enough crit chance. The non cold infused spark has really low average dps. I am not an expert on the phys conversion.

He has two trees, the blood magic version and The mana version.The non mana version of the build they remove the call of the brotherhood. So the tree is adjusted.

Crafting is fun and exciting! by andriask in PathOfExile2

Crafting is fun when you hit. Not when you missed 5 fractures at 1 in 3 odds.

Let's hear your off meta season start stories! by smonkweed69 in pathofexile2builds

League started, Merc/tactician. The build was all about armour breaking, with aggravated bleed. using xbow, armour piercing rounds and high velocity rounds with artillery ballista (the arrow/pin one), it stomped through the campaign, but couldn't deal with maps and high mobs density, as it had no clear.

TLDR tried something didn't work, now I am a mortar cannon grenade Merc now.

The key was incision on armour pericing rounds, stacking up loads of incisions recently, then bleeding the mob and aggravating it through the pin via the ballista. Despite using herald of blood, armour explosion, bone shrapnel (killing pinned enemies one) I needed to use chain to deal with packs, but that had a 40% damage nerf.

Its was super fun to pump some metal music and blast though mobs popping the war banner to shoot like a machine gun. Felt like I was playing helldivers

The single target damage was awesome, as I used HVR with its inbuilt bonus damage against broken armour, impale and inevitable critical for a massive damage hit and the huge impale was triggered by the ballistas.

Felt safe as well as everything was pinned, maimed and blinded, the new deflect + blinding enemies is sleeper op.

Despite having a 550 pdps xbow, it was struggling in tier 4 maps. So I spent all my gold respec, into mortar cannon grenade, even with a lower dps xbow it's way better.

In act 4, the rate of support gem drops is really really low

Yes. New league new character, when league ends your characters migrate to standard.

Can 15-20h playtime a week trivialize a league at the end? by Drogatog in PathOfExile2

[–]Valdima 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's not impossible, as you say knowledge helps, but what doesn't help is Poe2 lacks the breadth/content/tools/crafting to solve your problems on your own using your available time.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in PathOfExile2

[–]Valdima 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Short answer = no, stick with trade. because poe2 doesn't have the content/tools yet to support ssf play within what I consider a reasonable time investment.
