Path of Exile 2.0 - Discussion

[Majes]

Couple new news posts.
1. New improvement to trade: If you have premium stash tabs you can now use their utility to price items stored in them. This will link directly with the indexer sites. You can still link items the same way you did before if you don't have premium tabs but it's certainly an incentive to buy some...
2. https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1595088/page/1 Announces the new leagues and mentions challenges/rewards. Rewards are pretty awesome. League looks okay to me. I'm sure some people will love it, but it's just interesting enough to get me to re-roll.

Oh hell! I didn't realize that there would be a new league to go along with the Expansion right out of the gate! That's awesome.

I will play the league for sure -- go for the full immersion.

They listed the challenges for the new leagues.
Looks like there are 40 of them and 4 or 5 will be really difficult. So I might actually try for the portal effect. Could be a fun league for me!

I admit, I rarely pay attention to the challenges... Going to try to put my best foot forward this time though.

The above should be a link to the new skill tree offline calculator.
The scion section is a little buggy last I checked, but hopefully some of you can plan your new builds and such!

Looks like I might have to go for a Templar for my MF totem build.
Offers +2 totems (minus 10% damage per totem)... but that means could have FOUR totems at a time?!?

 

[Jax Omen]

It does mean that, but it's legit bad for true totem builds (the minus damage is huge).

It's great for a build that self-casts but kind of sucks on bosses (Arc, for example) because you can throw down 3 4-L totems to nuke bosses down (at 70% damage per totem) while just self-casting through the trash packs.

It's also AMAZING for support builds, who can throw down multiple generosity totems nonstop. Sadly most of them will go Guardian instead, so limited usefulness.

But yeah, taking that talent is a whopping 10% damage increase (3x70% vs 2x100%) for a true totem build vs just taking Ancestral Bond, and also not worth running quad-totems (4x60%) basically ever.

On a separate topic... I actually got around to looking at the Scion's subclass nodes... Berserker seems like the clear "best" node for basically all casters. 1.5% damage leeched as life means casters can actually get significant leech from tree without needing a life leech gem, which is crazy strong, and they get 10% more damage besides. Pair that with like an Assassin subnode (for an ASSZERKER Scion!) and you've got a generic crit caster good to go.

What subclass is everyone thinking of going with once the expansion drops?

I dunno. Jax shot holes in my totem build.

I want to do a MF to get some money (and to let everyone else figure out the bet builds) before I start in on my "true build".

Anyone have thoughts on a MF build?

I thought Jax just offered some extra ways to go about building totems. I'd still think MF totems is super viable, just now there are a few ways to go about building it.

Woohoo! From the patch notes:

Important Note:
Due to substantial balance changes, every existing character has been granted an optional full passive reset. To use this, click the "Reset all Passives" button on the passive skill screen. Note that you must use this before allocating or refunding any other points otherwise the option will go away.

Yep, thats how major patches work. If your tree actually breaks the reset is forced instead of optional.

Yep. I haven't played in a bit, just waiting for that passive reset. =)


Also, lol full patch notes. Vaal sparked nerfed into oblivion. Thanks GGG, now we have yet another skill that is pretty much never going to be used!

I need to speak to you about that. As much as I love my current Chaos freezing pulse, the lack of true life leech was bugging me in a 5L.
Yes Atziri flasks work but I am not a fan of that game style as I would prefer just some sort of dmg-life leech.

All I know is that I am going to run a MF up front. Need to see what options the new tree offers.

 

[TallBill]

Running a ranger. Haven't decided on deadeye or pathfinder. Might roll one of each.

Hard-core for now.

I'm in the same boat.

I want to join your guy's guild if thats okay? I will probably spend most of my time with my current guild since i'm an officer and have been it since the end of beta. I'm not good with poe questions even though i've played since beginning of beta lol.

Let me know what your guy's names are in Perandus league. cya guys in a few hours.

Oh and reading all 45 pages of this thread definitely killed some time before ascendancy

 

[TallBill]

I'm not in the guild yet, Robertthebob.

I'll be on in a half hour

I tried inviting you (copy and pasted) and it didn't find you.
Will try again later tonight I guess.

 

[Homerboy]

I actually logged in this morning (got up too early) and it started downloading a patch. I was all excited as I had an hour or so before I had to get ready for work.

Low-and-behold, it wasn't THE patch (8 hours too early) and all it did was kill the Talisman league. So I spent the next hour shuffling inventory around from my now"remove only" tabs.

That being said, I gotta buy some more premium tabs ASAP

Dinner and some highschool basketball tonight, but will be online around 9pm CST I guess. I'm guessing downloading the next patch/update is going to go at a snails pace

 

[TallBill]

Game just went down, Steam is updating again and forums are on maintenance mode.

Got back up fairly quickly. Way less laggy now.

 

[Homerboy]

Game went down again.
Forums are busted...
Seems to be a popular night!

 

[TallBill]

Rip at lvl 39 lol. Gotta practice the mechanics more on SC I guess. Labyrinth nuked me after I bbqpwned dominus.

 

[Feneant2]

Can I get a guild invite too? I mostly solo but good to have people to talk/trade to.

Name in game in this league is Olirond
