[Megathread] Path of Exile

[Grizzly Willy]

I'd be able to do that if my resistances werent in the gutter and if I had more life on gear. 172% increased life, still only 2k total
And all resistances sub 50% on merciless. But at least I can grind by having skeletons tank for me. As melee I'd be fucked

To be fair, I'm still on normal. Things could go sour when I get to cruel and merciless. Also, if I'm not careful elemental enemies will do a great deal of damage, especially fire mobs. Investing in resistances is my next goal after life.

Doing a lot of damage is another another "defensive" aspect of my brawler. As stated in the BotW video, being able to take out normal mobs in 1 to 3 hits is crucial. I'm sure my survivability would go down if they made it so quivers only affect bows.

So I installed this last night. Havent had the chance to fire it up, but I heard if you are a long time D2 fan you will enjoy this. Any advice for starting out?

I would suggest planning out your build before hand, and possibly looking into established builds before tinkering around with the tree to make your own.

The PoE forums have a wealth of information. Check the class guides out you can thank me later. The game is not very forgiving (respecing) if you mess up your spec deep into the passive tree.


Here's a couple of links as well:

Expect your first couple of characters to suck as you learn the ropes.

There are guides all over the forums to different purposes if you want to an easy play experience.

Didnt they say they already did that? Or did they make quiver damage only affect bow attacks?
I recall some guy on another forum saying he still gets +phys damage from quivers on his fists

They said they were going to, but they haven't. I'm unarmed and using a quiver because it gives me extra physical damage.

Lol check this death trap that my crew got wiped out :P I was the first to die

Anything projectiles like lets say the mages that shoot 3 projectiles at you + 4 + Elemental weakness = You are dead Instantly

There is a unique quiver that coverts a % of physical damage to fire damage. I remember that working to great effect with facebreaker builds. And there is another with a large % increase to physical damage and evasion. Coupled with the unique helm, Ezmyte Peak, the outcome was incredibly powerful.

That would be my quiver - Blackgleam

Hah, what?

I mean, I agree with you (from what I've seen, you can only respec the past two points in your tree). But what kind of game design is that, that the game doesn't tell you anything, and ensures your first characters are crap?

This game doesn't tell you anything. It's all trial and error.

How would you propose to make a game that has enough depth to satsify hardcore players and at the same time can be played by newcomers without fucking up?

The kind that supposes you as a player have the intellectual curiosity to figure it out?

There is only one hint message during gameplay for the whole game as far as I remember.

Figure out what abilities you want to use, which might take a character to figure out, then plan your passive tree with the abilities in mind, then just see if you plan works the way you want it. =)

So my gear is pretty much perfection with a single missing piece well two pieces technically which is my 6L armor which I'm probably never going to do since I read the thread and getting to 100 which I have no motivation to do so despite I always do max level in a ARPG such Diablo etc and such

LEVELING IS HARD HERE

FUUUUUUUUUUU so is diablo but that had baal runs so it covered it PoE? Maps to the extreme and sometimes you die and one death = 4-7 hours of grinding loss

-.-

[Redblade]

Play hardcore and learn not to die...

Mobs that puncture are my biggest downfall as well.
