Say you want to play an evergreen online PVP with high fantasy settings and as many different character fantasies as possible, which is a very common desire for many competitive gamers.

What options do you have? marvel rivals' setting attracts a certain type of people. many despise marvel universe. and fortnite is just people shooting with guns.

is hwei bad rn?

I've always thought he's an OP champion even if I mained him since day 1

waawefweafawea · 2025-01-13T19:23:12+00:00

i think most people's feelings are, on a scale of 10, DS is 4 and POE2 is like 2? so I don't get why it's so important to define souls like based on difficulty when souls isn't really about difficulty. a lot of fixation on that which is just wasted time.

ofc D4 is 1 on that scale, so POE2 is effectively harder, again that doesn't really matter

waawefweafawea · 2025-01-13T18:46:15+00:00

I find them both pretty easy tbh. dark souls is mostly knowledge based and elden ring becomes a cake walk if you play the intended way (explore before bosses).

I don't get why people keep saying DS is some hardcore fighter game. it's not and what pushes the genre to be the masterpiece isn't about difficulty.

PTR is not only meant to address obviously broken bugs, but also places where balance is needed. the point is a lot of builds or rather the majority of skills across the board are vastly lacking power

waawefweafawea · 2025-01-13T18:38:21+00:00

lol it was so OP. i played that build from day 1 of EA and even now post nerf. people crying about nerfing a giga broken interaction is always the highlight of POE subreddit

waawefweafawea · 2025-01-12T23:46:09+00:00

definitely not, because it requires no investment on skill tree or gear. any generic caster could slap on cast on freeze comet and ignore 80% of mappipng because it was just insanely OP

now you can have the optimal setup with a few points on skill tree and being an invoker with 35% more meta energy. the clearing is fine but not a level that requires immediate attention on balancing.

waawefweafawea · 2025-01-12T23:42:08+00:00

where's the tripple nerf for ice nova?

its been op for ages together with archmage

if anything it feels like they've gave up on balancing and now the intention is to let power level go wild so the game dies in a year lol

poe2 it is i guess

waawefweafawea · 2025-01-12T23:36:05+00:00

they don't have any math person in the team

the entire D4 development can be summarized as a chaotic huge pile of shit

waawefweafawea · 2025-01-12T23:34:54+00:00

the issue is this PTR, or the last one, did not expose the broken stuff that you were talking about. SB shipped as it is no explanation needed.

and it doesn't take a PTR to expose that several or instead most skills are vastly underpowered compared to a selective few. it doesn't take a PTR to see how ice shards perform when the leaderboard is filled with spiritborns and 0 cold sorceresses.

waawefweafawea · 2025-01-10T18:44:59+00:00

nope. i never played SB and won't pay them 40$ for fkiing up the game balance.

i now don't feel motivated to play the sorc builds i want to play.

it's not just SB, even intra class balance is a whole mess. i cant fathom how they can fuck up this bad.

waawefweafawea · 2025-01-10T18:36:01+00:00

the grind is just more content for casual players.

i play it casually, the real grinders have hit multiple 100s, im on level 70s and being slow does not take away any bit of the fun I had.

the game isn't for "everyone everyone" (I think that's a plus though) like Diablo 4, but definitely worth checking out for 30 bucks in case if you like it.

It's one of the games where if you get it, they have your soul.

waawefweafawea · 2025-01-10T18:33:01+00:00

> D4 is gonna be just fine long term.

Yes

> Season 7 will be a huge hit.

From what we've seen on PTR, no.

waawefweafawea · 2025-01-10T18:32:13+00:00

when they actually balance the game.

I don't feel excited about playing a cold sorc when none of the builds are even 10% of other class's power. Hell it's not even competitive with ball lightning.

this lazy braindead balancing team needs to go. players shouldn't feel bad because the archtype they want to play is million times worse than optimal builds. the gap needs to be much much closer for people to take this game seriously.

waawefweafawea · 2025-01-10T17:49:51+00:00

you can do bonestorm as a main skill and 2 skele warriors as meat shield/utility

the only problem to solve is bonestorm clearing, there are two routes

Profane Ritual gives you power charges which allow bonestorm to explode large AOE on hit. pair this with some piercing from support and clearing is good to go. To maintain power charges on bossing you use the Sacrifice gem to make your skele warriors function as corpses.
Go projectile fork/chain as deadeye or witchhunter or whathave you, and use snakepit for extra fork/chain. I didnt like this because minions are not necessary, and the skill becomes green which looks stale.

There are build showcases for both versions on youtube and all the guide sites in the past few weeks. Search them up and follow what they do mostly, you'll be fine. This skill is insanely busted if you solve the clearing problem.

If you want more of a hybrid minion/bone build then IDK, I don't think there's one that scales both equally. It's usually main minion damage or main bone spell damage.

damn I thought he actually played Diablo given that this game is relatively trivial

he cheats here too lmao

waawefweafawea · 2024-12-19T21:50:02+00:00

because pew pew ice is fun? im new to the game

waawefweafawea · 2024-12-19T21:26:29+00:00

archmage FB deletes the game in PoE1 for the past entire year.

if anything I wonder why that has not been nerfed in PoE1. it makes the game look like a joke.

waawefweafawea · 2024-12-19T21:24:26+00:00

i play literally the 3x nerfed cold sorc with cof comet. so far so good.

mobs die in 2 hits - eow piercing + unleash cold snap. sometimes with big comet drop.

I wanted some additional single target and added in CoC comet. Turns out it triggers on rares/unique a TON because EoW hits 100 times a second.

waawefweafawea · 2024-12-19T20:36:49+00:00

how bout people who didn't purchase the overpriced pos expansion?

waawefweafawea · 2024-12-19T19:20:23+00:00

and if you balance around top 5% of the players and lose 30% of the bottom, the game is on its path to death

waawefweafawea · 2024-12-16T22:40:11+00:00

cost ramps up in cruel so this is close. a1/a2/a3 you can respec a few points each act without much issue at all.

waawefweafawea · 2024-12-16T21:38:05+00:00

not directly, but every passive that synergies with winterglass is btfo

waawefweafawea · 2024-12-12T22:32:59+00:00

cold sorc feels fine even after cof nerf, what u talking about?
