There is also mastery that gives 1% or 2% max res with the right conditions, Purity of Fire also gives 5% (or more if you have increased effect nodes / rolls on gear). That Chieftain node is essentially Melding of Flesh without the downsides, which is huge, considering that MoF is one of the staple items that is currently used for RF
Unless you roll dual juiced curses (with +quality gem/gear rolls), I don't think you can realistically get to 0% with pinnacle bosses. For example, I get minus (37(curse)+18 (exposure) + 19 (LoF)) = 74% which is less than 90% resists pinnacle bosses have.
I was thinking about Chieftain in this case. You can go with leftmost panteon to get immunity to freeze and chill resistance anyway, and storm shield the shocked effect.
If you're Chieftain, fixing ailment immunity when you ditch Purity of Ele is harder
Akshually, it seems pinnacle bosses have 50% resist, so it'd probably go to minus if you have exposure on hit and / or LoF
Oh ok, now I get you. I interpret it as setting to 0, making it function like inq node. If it lets you get enemy resists to -36 (or whatever) with just flammability it's crazy good and basically justifies the ascendency all its own.
Sure, but for my part I don't want a great look. I want the game to filter out as many normies as possible.
IF you want to progress. Character building is fine IF you want to tinker. Just don't expect to defeat Ubers with your own janky creation on your first attempt.
AFTER they have been taught the existing knowledge via literature by other people. They start working on their own progress into the field, which is what also happens in PoE as well. You just haven't reached the point yet.
Yes and they also stop being fun the moment you have figured it out. PoE has a lot of shit to figure out already and gives you even more every 3-4 months = more fun.
That's a great resource made by the community. What is not to love about it? I think somebody devoting so much work towards just 1 (one) singular build and getting this level of pay-off in a game that has a gazillion more builds is an impressive and positive thing. It's also a separate resource, meaning it doesn't interfere with your gameplay if you dislike hand holding. Win-win.
Since when is a staff with +2 all gem skill level and 50% inc damage trash ?
I think it's pretty dubious. You're essentially competing with yourself. The fact that purchases are shared between games makes it less so, but you're still maintaining 2 games instead of one (have to develop twice as much league content for example). GGG probably know better than I do, might be some weird quirk of the f2p model.
I don't criticize the sites existance, I criticize its necessity.
Fair enough. It seems we basically agree on all relevant facts, we just have different opinions about what is good and bad.
They were running spells essentially unlinked, whereas in poe1 by that time you would have 2 wands with flat damage that is at least comparable if not greater damage to +2 AND 2-3 support gems that multiply your damage, plus a curse, plus a damage aura.
There is no "necessity". It's just for one build anyway. People have been playing PoE for years without it. You get a friend into the game and just teach him stuff. When have you last done this with an AAA title? If you dumb down PoE, you remove the possibility of the community helping itself.
If the enemy has no fire resistance then you can't modify it. It's the same wording as "You have no Armour" on Gluttony, it removes Armour from your character sheet. Punishment would be the only damage curse you can use.
I can see your point but I still think it's an objective fact that it is very overwhelming for new players to deal with all these mechanics. Not to mention, I'm someone that doesn't like super bloated experiences. Baldur's Gate II is an example of this, where you are bombarded with quests that are shoved down your throat, and within a few hours your entire quest log is full of shit you might not even want to do. When that happens it just makes me want to Alt-F4 and play something else. Now I understand not everyone is as ornery about such things as I am, but still.
You're an actual retard. Yes I was asking for a guide some weeks ago because I am a new player. So when it comes to addressing the new player experience, I am far more qualified to "analyze the game" than you, a vertan player, are mongoloid. There is a reason why D4, a dogshit ARPG, has a player base that dwarfs PoE's despite it being the far superior game. Giving suggestions on how to improve the new player experience without impacting veteran players will only mean more money for the company which means better updates. Watch your fucking moth the next time you speak to me you fanboy faggot.
