    Path of Exile

    Been a bit busy, moving into an apartment. Also picked up GW2, and been playing that a bit more. I'll be on more often now, though, although when classes start up next week that may change. https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/3hqun1/an_extensive_recap_of_the_voc_knowledge_bomb/ There has also been this fiasco, which is making me unsure how much I want to play this league. Looks like actually buying items will be impossible for super-poor me now.

    That pretty much sums up my first poorjoys as well. Zerg got it from one of his first Zana missions, we both went in (I was running an arc build, he was an under geared ranger). We made it through a small part of a room, then got wrecked. It was miserable. :( But, I had a poorjoys drop from Shock and Horror yesterday, and it had rolled 12 rare belts, so I thought "let's give it a try". 2 hits from anything would have killed me, but placing two totem at the start of a room, running back,...

    Another trick for helping with mana issues is a blood magic clarity. Clarity reserves a flat amount of mana, and even with the enourmous mana cost increase from blood magic, it's a rather negligable life loss if you spec health, and it can support most spells pretty easily. Alternitavely, I have actually been toying with taking the blood magic keystone and the reservation reduction, then trying to run the build with 50% less life, and mitigate it with Es or something. I don't have the items...

    I am afraid I must disagree. My 86 flame totem Templar can take maps up to level 79 right now, no problem. Warbands league. Currently 9.8k tooltip dps on a five link + blood magic (humility tabula rasa), X 2 because two totems. They actually made flame totem way tankier, and with the bonus life and damage mitigation from the totem mastery and ironwood nodes, my totems have tanked merc mala groundslams. The trick is making sure you can resummon them easily. Also, herald of ice and herald of...

    Or you were just that much stronger :) He is also HC, I think, so he can't even let himself die once. More power to him, I died twice to post Nerf mala in normal while leveling a scion last night. Of course, I was also not really trying to avoid dying, but he still blindsided me with a ground slam twice. Be warned anyone in HC going into maps: be very careful of the new desert and pit 68 maps. The desert map has that stupid blink/mirror arrow guy from the dried lake, except many times...

    And that is why I just play standard now. Shit like that. The game is balanced around the handful of streamers/pros with Starcraft level reaction skills. They can pop pots/ click there Macro in such a way that they never even get hit by that stuff, and the rest of the playerbase suffers from it. :(

    If you do not catch on to the mechanics of a one specific boss shortly before the final boss, that fight is way worse than Dominus. Stupid temp chains... You need staunching flasks, btw. And Physical damage reduction. The most common damage type in the final few fights seems to be obscene physical hits.

    Pretty much. That guy is a monster. Heck, even some of the other bosses are absolutely brutal throughout the act.

    Sounds fun. vvilliam.storey is my skype. Zerg should be on at some point on or near 3:00 (whenever he wakes up). The more people, the more free item quantity we get, so ideally we want to get a full 6 person party.

    I recommend making a char on the new league later today (it releases at 3:00 EST). Normal standard is almost impossible to buy/sell in unless you have been there for years. The new leagues are far more friendly in the regard. I'll be on starting at 3:00, so anyone who happens to join the new league today and wants to level, I'll be around.

    Oh, don't worry. It gets even worse! What are everyone's char names? I'd like to at least add people to my list, if no one minds. I'm Reaching_Eudaimonia (or, at least, one of my characters is).

    Ah, shadow is a pretty strong start for shocking via crits. As far as gear, I recommend not worrying about it in a new league. Focus on playing, reaching maps, build based on what you find. 90% of the time I am using rares, not any cool uniques (at least early). Don't get too worked up about having the perfect plan, it's pointless to try and predict what the gear will be when the economy has not established itself. It will take a long time for things like Doryani's to even be available for...

    Warcrys don't work with CWDT anymore. That means no enduring or immortal unless you want to manually cast them. Blood Rage was nerfed hard as well.

    Yeah, the shotgunning removal hits flame totem (and incinerate, and freezing pulse, and... yeah, a lot) rather hard. Don't be fooled, though. I was playing a flame totem templar in CB and it was still perfectly viable all the way to the end of cruel (which is where I stopped, didn't feel like grinding for better res gear). The new totem nodes in the tree are very helpful, in that regard, and flame totem still does silly damage. Arc is a super easy build, and great for a first character...

    Easiest builds in new leagues traditionally are caster builds. Arc. Flame Totem. Sporks (fallen out of favor lately), Glacial Cascade, flameblast, Ball Lightning, ect., ect. They all are more dependent on the level of the gems/supports than your gear, so you can focus on gearing for survivability to take on higher difficulties earlier. That being said, the existence of Fortify makes melee builds significantly easier to pull off without horrible dismemberment. Melee builds will still need...

    The game is designed largely to appeal to the fanbase of the ARPGs or old, Diablo 2 being the front. The trading system is similar to that one, but it does take some time to adjust to it. The passive skill system is rather unforgiving, but the main site itself has a tool to plan out the optimal build before you begin leveling, so you avoid screwing yourself. The active system is very unique, and it definitely takes some time to familiarize oneself with the way gems interact and what can...

    Yep, giant ground slam smashed my face in. Was in a multi-strike animation and could not get out of the way in time. A word of advice, don't use multi-strike against bosses with double strike and faster attacks, your attacks queue up and you can't cancel it when they start chargin their lazorz.

    Alright, so, to get a list, who is playing that has not already joined a guild? I'll send invites. Just R.I.P.ed with a 68 scion in Nemesis. 1 Shot by merc Vaal even though I had 2.6k HP, ~60% Damage mitigation from armor, 50% evade, max all resists (except chaos, only had like 15 chaos resist), and 200 or so energy shield. It was sad. Making a silly necro witch now. Also, anyone interested in doing some party races? The new season is underway, and I'm getting sick of soloing all of the...

    I enjoyed path immensely during the closed beta and the start of open. I raced and all of that jazz, but I got bored with no group to play it with. If anyone decided to pick it up, let me know and I'll update and join in.
