Path of Exile is a MAJESTIC incline

deterministic system > RNG

Reasonably.

Still worse than KB.

 

[Sharpedge]

how viable power siphon is these days?

I played it somewhat recently and I found it to be ok, but not amazing. The skill animation looks great though, but damage wise on single target it was lacking.

 

[T. Reich]

I managed to push 300k+ shaper dps on PS in PoB on a reasonably expensive build (500k+ if you start clicking on flasks, but that's cheating).

Of course, since PS is very similar to KB, swapping in KB will produce much better overall deeps, and swapping in barrage will produce much better single target deeps.

Fun skills to use as Champion that aren't Double Strike/Flurry?

 

[Reinhardt]

Cleave.

Fuck alla ya.
Vorici was pure class.
The only master with non-popamole missions that require you to actually put some effor in.
Decline enablers, the lot of you!

Vorici is the only one where you can actually fail once in a while.

I often fail to accept Catarina missions, I am not sure why...

I do it out of principle.

Khm, try a Haku mission that spawns SRS while still leveling... you will die and fail..

Look at all that great loot

 

[Sykar]

There is a six socket!

 

[Baron Dupek]

You can get better stuff from him
Got gloves 3 times, flask twice, never got the sword.

4k HP absolutely viable, lmao

 

[Sharpedge]

Yeah, the loot is ok, but you do need to actually run it multiple times before it pays off. I have still yet to beat uber elder myself (something I would like to do at some point), but I got tired of my character at level 98 and I am the type of person that likes to play 1 character per league and doesn't like rerolling.

Path of Exile in a nutshell
difficulty content rarely leads to good reward, it's all in RNG
I hate gambling in games and real life but Path of Exile is sole exception for me.

New stuff about Masters system

you can work for them all day, level up faster (unless GGG somehow slow it down because fuck you that's why) and rely on RNG for their spawns.
meh

 

[Saark]

Would be pretty stupid to just run a boss once and get the best item he can drop, no? Why would you wanna replay the game, or replay the content, if you got everything handed to you on your first kill?

 

[T. Reich]

B-but my guide suggested...

 

[Trans-Financial-Man]

I can't place my finger on it but this game didn't grab me like D2 did. I can't explain why. On paper I should prefer this over Fisher-Priceablo 3. But I don't get it.

 

[Absinthe]

The story and setting got more and more retarded and the game has become an incredibly senseless nonstop grind all about maxing DPS and clear speed with ever-rising powercreep. Basically the gameplay is monotonous, customization is increasingly cosmetic thanks to ridiculously powerful boss attack patterns that are frequently liable to murder everyone the same way regardless of build and thus necessitate the same overall playstyle, and there's no personality or charm left in the game proper since it doesn't even know what it's about anymore. It's become a convoluted mess that keeps shitting out new content and doesn't have much compelling force left, really. It also doesn't help how the economy has gone to shit and orbs like alchs have lost value thanks to super-alchs like essences. The reason SSF became so popular is because the practical value of currency orbs has fallen off and the game has become increasingly formulaic. Build-enabling uniques used to be okay, but with build-enabling unique jewels among other things it's gotten stupid to the point that it's become a standard baseline to expect someone to use the appropriate uniques with the proper skill gem. At the end of the day the game has become a very rote and dull meaningless performance.

 

[Sykar]

Is anyone impressed with these new brand skills? The meteor one looks plain lame compared to meteor spells in other games. Including ancient classics like MM6.

 

[Saark]

The lightning one looks pretty decent I'd say, I guess we will have to see how you can scale their damage, cast speed, and trigger-rate.

 

[ArchAngel]

Only Winter Orb so far looks decent. Meteor Brand could be cool if it was faster.
But yea, the basic animations are bad. I guess they have to sell their skill MTX somehow.

 

[T. Reich]

The lightning one didn't look like anything at all, because all we saw was Arc + Inpulsa's showcase.

The fire one looks like shite.

But then again, people (myself included) shitted on the scourge arrow as "too clunky for clear speed meta", and it turned out to be an actually really nice bow skill!
