Even if its not the main focus of your build having a spell totem with minion instability is always a nice way to tank a room of mobs. I can always just spec into it and then respec/regret it later I guess. If it'll help carry me across A3->A2C then it's probably worth the investment... I mean, I'm literally already there in my build, it'd only cost one point lol. | ||

Can't remember exactly but what makes the skill OP? I think that it is the fact that EK does physical damage (the only spell to do so), although I'm not 100% sure why that is OP. Maybe life leech? | ||

had a Chaos and Chance stolen from me tried to steal a Chain public group stalled at Lvl 2 because there's 2 low level players that just want to be carried and then there are 2 other characters that just want to try to speed run through to find the next level and end up dieing | ||

Oh so I guess after playing through the game in normal you do it again on the next difficulty level, which then has monsters on higher level, correct? All this stuff is kind of difficult to find out for a noob who just started. The Path of Exile wiki doesnt help that much either. For example, no idea what people are referring to with this 5L stuff etc. Oh well. | ||

Really want to be able to use WED with LA/LMP/LoH/Chain set up. The chance of an item rolling socket colors depends on armor type to some extent. For example pure armor items have really high chance to roll red sockets (armor = str = red). An es/eva armor has equally high chances for green/blue sockets, and a lower chance for red ones. I don't know the exact percentages but a dev told this was real. | ||

For example I want to build a frost Templar, but I would need about 2-3 green sockets on my chest to make it work, and I just can't see myself wearing a piece of gear without the defenses I choose to improve. OCD kicking in hardcore for me.  | ||

In terms of how the game "feels" it's closer to Diablo 2 than anything else. And yet strictly speaking, the mechanics between this game and diablo 2 are not at all similar. Btw, if anyone with experience has a couple second to spare, please give a glance at my bow duelist build (Blood Magic) and let me know if there are any glaring problems that I should fix. | ||
