Also dont know what to think about the corpse skills. Seems good with unleash? Might be something with an elder helmet for cremation. Or cremation in a staff with the trigger craft. EK brutality deadeye with bleed from shield charge is a hipster thing i might try at some point. | ||

@Duvon: Unleash is indeed great for corpse skills and also for Firestorm / Ice Storm. Else just if you like to rotate spells, I guess. @Asoo: https://old.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/aydlvx/premature_evaluation_reworked_storm_burst/ <--- "It's probably worth mentioning that just a single 45% duration cluster on the tree takes Storm Burst from 4 ticks to 5, or about 2,850 dps." Also pretty sure the only leech cluster you need is Ethereal Feast. It changes your leech per sec from 10% to 13%. edit: nvm, the other affects leech rate too, but well, less so. | ||

I don't want to watch a movie where the main character overcame every obstacle, or lost nothing of value in his setbacks. Similarly, I want the upper reaches of late game and the story to involve actual risk, or the whole experience is just a glittery grind. Big HC fans and big SC fans will debate about the ladder of risk and reward, but nowhere do I think it disrespect for their own time even enters into it. I like to play games that involve actual risk, but only if you actually feel the moment when you are at risk. But 99% of deaths in poe are surprises that happen in under a second, there is no buildup of excitement. There is no "oh shit im in danger i need to focus", there is just "this mob used a spell i did not expect and i died in one or two hits". There is only punishment. And for the off chance that you have enough time to see a death coming, e.g. when you made a mistake on uber elder, you press the logout macro instead. | ||

Huh, does that mean that with no other duration scaling, 20/20 Increased Duration is a 50% more multiplier (4 ticks per orb to 6 ticks per orb)? And it sounds like the "Maximum total Recovery per second" stat is the one you care about for leech, right? | ||

That’s a valid criticism of unfair deaths and the like. I just bristled at why one person thought the means of punishment amounted to not respecting your own precious time. | ||

If they eliminated all softcore exp punishment for death, would the quest for max level feel less like a rite of passage or more like a rite of passage? How about if you could lose a level after death in the higher levels? I make zero claim that risk and reward structures negate feeling bored after multiple times of accomplishing the goal. | ||

mainly, it is something in its own context but looking at the bigger picture, system imposed punishments(game design here) are not that important because they're not mandatory. | ||

You should probably read before you bristle, I thought that thinking that 2 hours of lost progress was "no penalty" was a lack of respect for your own time. | ||

This is going to feel terrible, right? The damage of the beam scales linearly with stacks so there is no penalty to interrupting your channel early, 2x10 stacks = 1x20 stacks. The range of the siphoning seems much larger than melee, but I haven't seen any numbers | ||

I don't know if we are playing same game, softcore "death penalty" stopped being a real penalty in 2.0, 3.5 years ago. How can anyone write that XP is a meaningful progress that someone actually cares about in the game that has pure stones is beyond me. | ||

Can anyone refresh my memory on how the early Zana questline works now? After killing Kitava, you meet her in the Templar Laboratory, grab a map, and ... does which map you complete first roughly determine which T2 gets Shaper influence (ie, will be adjacent to that T1)? If so, are you "locked" into that quadrant for the T1-6 Zana questline (before the Elder appears), or will the influence move if you run other maps? I should probably pore through some of the recent race vods but there's not great ways to navigate through ~6hr Twitch videos. Hoping to have slightly more of a shaped (or, well, only certain maps available at certain tiers) atlas for SSF this time around. Edit: Also, I've completed ~36/40 in a decent amount of recent leagues in SSF & equiv, and I've never attempted to get to L100. Maybe I'm playing with more third-world internet/PC or having a family which requires me to go abruptly AFK at the drop of a hat changes things (no team/multiplayer games for me), but I don't think that XP penalties are meaningless and everyone automatically gets a L100, shrug. | ||

Storm Brand ES Trickster lol. First one I've done from scratch in a while. Looks like trash, the pathing just looks so suboptimal but I can't see any obvious spots to save points atm. I can't decide if Ghost Reaver is super sick or not with the new ES leech? Double leech capacity seems huge, but the recharge rate decrease idk?? Will probably decide on that later, maybe try briefly. Probably save CI/LL for way later too. This is just a starter. I'm planning to chill in white/yellow maps for a while this league, just need a passive de-stress currency farm character for a couple weeks. Edit: Hm, that link isn't working. Fine if you import into PoB though. Weird. The order to take the ascendancy points in is gonna be interesting too | ||

It can be little in compare, but still it is penalty. Stating there is zero penalty is false assumption. I don't get why people who play HC (which I play too btw) care so much about shaming softcore. Arguing if the penalty is meaningful is something else I guess. | ||

That is the value of how fast ES recharges when you have not taken any damage. Only Occultist needs that stat to be high. | ||
