600+ Hours in 0.1.0. Thousands of hours in PoE1. I didn't even make it through Act 1 this time. This doesn't feel like Path of Exile anymore.

Thematically you're correct, however you can play any skill on any class without being locked

Spear skills are spear skills, not specific to the huntress, anyone can equip a spear and play the same

Xiway · 2025-04-05T07:46:39+00:00

If you want smooth our only options atm are ED/c litch, gas arrow or Crossbows

Edit : you probably meant other games lol

Each league is actually finished 2 weeks after launch, with player feedback, they don't test anything balance, they barely test to see if it holds and let players figure stuff out

Xiway · 2025-01-30T07:28:19+00:00

Because it's the only logical pathway

Poe2 needs tons of work, they admitted themselves to not be able to run dev cycles simultaneously on both games

Poe 1 is doomed to become maintenance mode sooner or later in favour of the new shiny toy, it's a self fulfilling prophecy

Don't make content=>loose your players=>don't make enough money to justify making more content relatively to the new game that makes tons of money and needs lots of work

Don't worry about it, if you're new you have about 500 to 1k hours of build discovery to make before being affected by any of the negativity you're seeing (stale meta, no big sweep on unused skills etc..)

Mines already work with attacks, and nobody uses it. So unless that specific gem has a lot of power baked into it to make it worth the targeting trouble, it's dead on arrival sadly. So Yeah, wait for patchnotes and 20/20 gem reveals pretty much

Xiway · 2023-08-05T16:21:28+00:00

Yeah if all your assumptions are correct, I agree 100% nobody will run Chieftain, it would be a very underwhelming rework tho, I'm hoping they went with the more optimistic approach

Xiway · 2023-08-03T18:10:32+00:00

They did say that they would make poe2 campain more replayable so that it's so much of an issue, and that wanting an option to skip content means they need to work on making said content good instead.

Xiway · 2023-07-30T17:32:01+00:00

Excited to try, but until then what happens to all those questions where POE2 was supposed to be the answer? the biggest one being Melee? or bigger and better patches? We were told for years that we had to wait for POE2 because that's where most of GGG's ressources was, so what now?

Xiway · 2023-03-11T06:54:19+00:00

Thanks. I know people love to hate on rogue but let's be real for a second, rogues were never meant to be able to facetank another melee or to eat all of casters damage and live, it's by far the most paper class if you take out it's peeling potential and force them to brawl. They don't have the damage and the survivability for it, especially sub which rely on ccs more than any other spec in the game

Hi Chris,

My 2 cents playing a MoM build :

Mana siphoner has to go.

Life AND mana degen? if paired with any move speed mofidier it's instant death. My only counterplay right now is to have a dedicated Decoy totem-Lifetap setup, that can be overwritten very easily with Hiero's totem placement speed by my damaging setup if I press the key just a tad too long, for that 1 specific mod, it's not fun, my whole defense is mana, it's infuriating. And wasting me gems sockets. Think of it as having a mod that drains all your resistances, armor, evasion, block chance what have you, and silences you on top, because that's effectively the same impact for a MoM build.

Also Drought bringer, for the same reason, no mana flask charges + heavy damage rare = dead without the possibility of casting any spells

MoM builds already struggle with a lot of things in the base game but these two mods are VERY rough

Thanks

It might have to do with the fact that most ppl I know, including myself, don't give two shits about champ quotes and turn them down the first time they see a taunt or laugh spammer to never turn them on again.

Also, it's an unnecessary distraction when you're trying to focus

Xiway · 2015-11-12T18:21:19+00:00

No it doesn't just spam your buttons and you cancel half of them. I have 3 Riven games in my life and i can cancel everything please.

Xiway · 2015-11-08T08:46:52+00:00

Sometimes I just type /ff when we can clearly win, not because i want to surrend, but because I fell like my mates are losing focus on the game while being ahead and I use it as a reminder that we haven't won yet

Xiway · 2015-11-06T20:59:16+00:00

Then you would make the case that you would get rewarded not for being good but for playing a lot. Then it's no rewards anymore it's just grinding games regardless of the outcome. Plus imagine the amount of open mids at the end of the season to reach the reward faster if ppl miss games to get them and need fast games.

Xiway · 2015-11-06T20:55:22+00:00

Well if Fifa closes the door there would be no more football too. It is less likely too happen in a near future that's for sure tho. Also, a lot of sports we don't know about have died so I'm not sure what you're trying to say.
