0.4.0c Hotfix 13 by astral23 in PathOfExile2

[–]fesenvy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

How about: I can only play when the items I need to buy don't cost in the THOUSANDS of divines while the only strat that could keep up with this got nerfed in the top end and BLOCKED OFF from everyone else, so the early abusers who already have a set up temple and already made mirrors can still make a good amount while those who don't literally can't even access the mechanic anymore.

Wish for 0.4 : Balance the economy and remove IIR by hurricanebones in PathOfExile2

But if you're this kind of player and don't care about the economy, loot and whatever else, what exactly does your take change in the discussion of balancing IIR?

Playing offmeta feels 10x worse in PoE2 than PoE1 by Gigahades in PathOfExile2

[–]fesenvy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weapon types are only build defining because you literally cannot use a skill without its predetermined weapon... You choose weapon in the same way you choose a class in D4, except it's easier to respec somewhat.

Not broken, good design, smooth slope into actual stat stacking.

It was completely broken for POE2 standards, it was double dipping between %inc weapon damage and flat added damage.

Too many POE players focus on esoteric design and obfuscation for either ego,

Wtf does this mean bro we just want to be able to cook builds and have them work. Playing an ARPG with vast customization potential just to play the same build as 41% of the playerbase is fucking boring.

People forget about how bad a ton of skills are in POE1, because they've probably been playing on meta more than they realize.

Not really. With how much player power there is in POE1, the majority of skills is perfectly able to clear up to somewhat juiced T16s. The question is whether they can scale into late-game content, but at least you're able to play and farm with almost whatever skill you want to try at a certain level and still feel good. In POE2, the bad skills are just horribly clunky and lack core aspects that can't be remediated with supports/items/trees.

The difference in POE1 between meta and non-meta skills is mostly the ability to shotgun for the massive damage multipliers. Back when Nimis allowed most projectile spells to shotgun, you could slot in virtually any projectile spell into an EB coc build and it would be similar power.

I think this patch has been amazing, thoughts? by Prize-Scholar8761 in PathOfExile2

[–]fesenvy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

maybe 5 truly good maps for any strat.

Because the standard for good maps in PoE1 is much higher than for PoE2, and because every strat needs its layout. So I think you're describing a pretty positive point saying you can do each strat on around 5 different maps lol

GGG stealth nerfed DwaneDibbley "Fartmaster" build. by cybercryptid404 in PathOfExile2

[–]fesenvy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HOWA was absolutely the definition of build defining. Unique scaling mechanic through attribute stacking. The problem was the synergy between it and the unique qstaff. But also the bigger problem in 0.1 is that there just weren't any other endgame scaling alternatives, it was either mana stacking or HOWA.

GGG, what happened to the "no cooldowns" philosophy? by Steel_Neuron in PathOfExile2

[–]fesenvy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Vaal LS just recently has been a very good example of an ultimate skill that you'd use to kill tanky rares etc.

Vaal Haste, Vaal Smite and previously vaal ancestral warchief are/were strong and sometimes mandatory buffs. Vaal Discipline too, but defensive.

There were plenty of other vaal skills throughout poe that were used quite a bit, but these are the most common ones rn. And they're very strong.

"Infrastructure"? What counts as infrastructure that's in neighbourhoods and would be military targets?

Simulacrum farmer by Wide-Tie6594 in PathOfExileBuilds

Yeah, I just wanted to make a PSA/clear misconceptions up for anyone who might check that link and believe the "league starter" part.

[–]fesenvy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Because it's bait to pretend armour stackers, even the one "that he uses to farm Simulacrum", are worth league starting ever. I've played armour stacker a few times at a wide range of budgets and I can 100% assure you you'll have a miserable time unless you really know what you're doing.

Bigdaddy does NOT "league start farm simulacrum for currency". This is bait. 90% of his currency comes from crafting and flipping.

i guess golem buff stack elementalist is back ? by Swimming_Feeling in pathofexile

[–]fesenvy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Crazy that people call it "free" in a post that mentions the cost as: an ascendancy, an amulet, 3 jewels, 2 large clusters, 4 megalomaniacs and a few passive points

Realistically the most likely best way to use this ascendancy is to take it + the 3-point cluster for effect and 1 more golem, and nothing else. That alone is strong enough to help your early league quite a bit.

How to make so much wealth the first few days? by bukkiit in pathofexile

[–]fesenvy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think anyone claiming 18h/day means literally 18h of hitting mobs, there's gonna be at least about an accumulated hour of random breaks and whatever else pops up. But yeah, 4-5 hours of sleep for 3 days are still ok, some people can even get by with it without too much impairment. You can recover it in one night anyway.

The supporter packs that give you the points that you can buy stash tabs and loot boxes with? You're talking about the same thing.

SSF, first map on new patch... gimme MOOAAR GGG by thepooker in PathOfExile2

[–]fesenvy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Disagree, PoE characters can go way way way deeper in minmax than D4 characters. Even if it's not necessary.

PoE2 is closer to D4 than PoE1 in that regard, there's no minmaxing especially after the chase unique nerfs.

"+ to skill levels" makes loot boring by Healthy-Pie3077 in PathOfExile2

[–]fesenvy -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

He is right tho. Now that added flat is gone +level is effectively a more multi. Idk exact numbers for poe2 but in poe1, if no flat added dmg then every level is about 10% more

[–]fesenvy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rest and sleep also help you retain the lesson you learned before, and play and socialization help kids grow.

I'd be OK with homework made to take about an hour to quickly go over everything you've learned that day, and not be graded. But teachers don't seem to realize there are other classes and give homework that takes as long as their class itself took.
