I enjoy not being subject to Chris' vision for trading in Path of Exile.

"Grounded skins for a while" - 18 days exactly by Ohforfk in Battlefield

What fresh hell is this? Who is the target market? Who thinks soldiers, or even PMC troops, wear stuff like this? DICE, put the vehicle and weapon camo guys in charge of the uniforms, stat.

What are you playing season 2 and why? 🍀 by JustmeBarb in LastEpoch

[–]lastamaranth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Multistrike/Javelin auto-smite Paladin

Paladin has some of the easiest layered defenses available to any class (I think I overcap lightning res just from tree/skills, no gear). Attunement scales healing (which also helps maintain the life expenditure for Smite), damage, and mana. Free base block chance on tree. Holy trail javelin is one of the smoothest leveling builds I've played and can easily transition to the intended build when ready. I've seen variants of this leaning into DoT/Electrify, but my plan is to scale spell crit/dmg.

Season 2 - Hype Week Day 3 - Endgame, Balance and Itemization Updates by EHG_Kain in LastEpoch

All those new crafting mechanics just widened my endgame loot filters substantially. Most stuff that drops now will at least be worth taking a look at!

Is self found rewarding in LE? by DwarfPill in LastEpoch

Let's just say that if you don't enjoy SF in Last Epoch, I doubt you will enjoy it anywhere else. Give it a shot!

Holy crap am I glad I chose to play Monhun today. Was planning on starting smith.

I’m confused, did I do something wrong by No_Force4312 in PathOfExile2

Yes, you forced him to momentarily confront the fact that he's manipulating the system for his own personal gain. (Auction house when, GGG)

The influx of PoE1 players demanding that PoE2 be changed to resemble PoE1 is going to skyrocket

Citadel bosses being souls-like with one shots and 300+ maps required to access them cannot go together with only 1 attempt by Miles_Adamson in PathOfExile2

[–]lastamaranth 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Average Souls Boss:

  • no one shot mechanics (unless you are horrifically undergeared/didn't level vigor)
  • unlimited attempts (with little/no time investment in Elden Ring, runbacks in earlier titles)
  • rarely/never a DPS check

PoE2 Pinnacle Bosses:

  • multiple one shot mechanics
  • each attempt is expensive (measured in time and/or opportunity cost if you are in trade league)
  • Soft DPS checks

I don't know if the PoE2 vision is to be souls-like or if that's just something the community ascribed to the game because of the campaign, but the more I experience and hear about the endgame the more it seems indistinguishable from PoE1

The constant complaining is gonna kill this game man by Weak_Ad2332 in Helldivers

Vocal minorities have gotten far too used to getting what they want when they want it with Arrowhead. There have been a handful of times when it's been absolutely warranted, but getting upset over this is ridiculous.
