How does this game compare to D2 and D3 for reference? I enjoyed D2 more then D3, and apart from that I have very little experience in the rpg genre. Any advice? thx in advance. This game is nothing like diablo 3.PoE is a deep ARPG game with great character customization and decent graphics. | ||

already have some questions though: 1) I seem to be using the orbs of augmentation wrongly. If I right click them and then click on an item that already has magic properties it says that it can't. Am I being stupid for overlooking something obvious or what? 2) Do stats such as intelligence automatically increase through lvling up or do they only increase through items and skill tree? | ||

It's easy enough to look at #s, then after you level, before you spend your skill point(s) check again | ||

You can ask questions in general chat.People are there generally helpful and most of the time there are mods to answer your questions. To answer: Magic items can only have two 'mods' AKA affixes: a prefix and a suffix. Rare items can have up to six, three prefixes and three suffixes with a randomly generated name. If a magic item lacks a prefix or suffix (Lacquered Sunplate = prefix, Sunplate of the Sky = suffix), an Orb of Augmentation will add that missing affix to the item at random. Pre = before the name of the item Suf = behind the name of the item Magic = blue name Rare = yellow name The item database has all the current prefixes and suffixes neatly listed, and the affix level means the affix is limited by the level of the item you or the game is rolling them on. You can check the level of an item by picking it up with your mouse and typing /itemlevel. | ||

Big tip, dont spend to much currency early on, and dont even touch alchemy orbs, chaos orbs etc You will understand later :p You can get all currency drops since level 1 so preserve higher level currencies. Rule of a thumb, dont ID not wanted items, selling UnID items gives you transmutation shards, ID items give you alteration shards. Generally its good to ID all rares and ID only useful (useful item base) types of blues. Orbs of augmentation only add magic property to magic item with 1 property. If magic roll gives you 2 properties orb of augmentation cant improve it. Because the second property is already there. Also some items have item based properties like rings or weapons. While they are still white (non-magic). Properties above the separator are item based properties, properties below the separator are coming from magic status. Orbs of augmentation will let you upgrade if there is only 1 property below the separator. | ||

Alterations are useful early to get best non-rare gear. They are always useful to get best possible Flasks and they are useful late to get Map mods more favorable to your character. | ||

it actually blow my mind that ranger, despite the name, doesnt require a bow.... i think my next character gona be a pure dex melee so i will definitely go with ranger :D. I just tested out Blood rage on my shadow last night... holy shit. now i can turn on blood rage, get 3 frenzy charges and spam through my mana pool with flicker strike for insane DPS while dodging most attacks+ projectile since my position is constantly changing. Quite a neat combo but requires some intense potion recycle stuff :-/ | ||

BTW, ranger is not a bow user by default. Aragorn is a Ranger and he is not an archer. In D&D rangers can be both archers and dual weapons users. And the Blood Rage + Flicker combo only works when you can one shot mobs. Once you cannot do that (somewhere in ruthless, maybe in end of cruel as well) it will not work as you will be using more frenzy charges then getting them back with blood rage. | ||

Sell whites to get id fragments. When I first started I'd do a run of all whites each waypoint just to build up a good stack. Most people sell blues unid unless is it something potentially useful due to itemtype + sockets. If you generally don't id all blues you'll have more then enough ids. | ||

It might be useful for reaching extreme amounts of energy shield, I could see a chaos inoculation build using it, but that's all. It doesn't even have anything that helps spells other than the unspecified critical strike. So what to do with it? Nothing, really. There are a lot of uniques like this. Maybe some collector will give a chaos orb or two for it. By the way, they're called uniques. Unlike that other game's legendaries, they're uniques because they have the same mods every time, albeit they may roll different values. | ||

Weird issue. If it happens again i'll make sure to check everything (alt in another program). I already tried all the chat options, had no effect. | ||
