I just started to try PoE out and was trying out the different classes, so I was wondering, the difference between each class is only the initial stats and where they start on the passive grid so it forces you to get different things ?

I mean, if you didn't get any passives the classes would be pretty much all the same ? Or am I missing something ?

Yeah, they only determine your starting point in the tree.

Your starting stats differ slightly and you get different skill gems from quest rewards. Basically, when you make your first character the class you select matters quite a bit in terms of how you play.

Yes, by far. 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.

I didnt like Diablo2, but I like Path of Exile. Its way more refined and balanced.
D2 was ridiculously inbalanced. Not only referring to classes, but also the skills. Some were great at the beginning, but totally useless late. Or the other way around. The graphics were only a minor improvement over the much older D1, which was a real milestone. Story/atmosphere also way worse than D1. And most of the time it was just about right-klicking and mass farming.
Yes, I was very disappointed with D2 after D1. Never understood why it got so many fans.

I've seen the PoE approximate currency exchange rates website, but are there any fixed prices for certain items in this game? (5l armor/weapons, uniques, or other stuff like skill gems) Or do you have to come to a deal with the player? I really don't want to get ripped off. I was desperate for a spell totem (no quality) so I paid 2gcp for it -_-
eventually, we all must learn when to shut the f*** up

With experience you get an idea of what things are worth but it's mostly what the buyer and seller agree on.

and in general you just have to barter. If someone says 'X item 10 alcs' don't just agree and give 10, offer 6-7 often they will take it.

I'm not saying this always works but rarely do you ever have to pay the first offer, unless you're in a c/o bidding war, try and get stuff cheaper!

Ice Spear + Chain + Lesser Multiple Projectiles and you'll get something similar to Frozen Orb

default max curse is 1

Witch has nodes in her skill tree area where curses will never expire and can increase the max curse limit from 1 to 2

Summons... so no :| Was horrible. I was dropping skelly bombs on her but they hardly scratched her, lol.

Edit:
Will I need Conductivity on the last fight if I had this much trouble, or would I be able to possibly brute force it with spark and portals again >_<

I think you ripped yourself off

no fixed prices and values are probably highly variable based off of the time of day you're playing and server population

seems that alch, chaos, and GCP are serving as base currencies though

You probably could have gotten one for 2-3 chaos. Oh well =/

if anyone in Softcore is interested in grouping, I'm probably going to be doing Dock farming runs for the next 1-2 days, maybe 3 days before I start progressing through A3 and completing it

done some solo runs with around 20-30% magic & item find

item drop increase feels a little noticeable

Grabbed Arc off quest reward instead of Conduc without thinking about it (mainly because Spark sucks donkey against single targets ~_~) - if I'm to get a Conduc for the last A3 fight on Normal (still not sure if I need it yet but I've got time to ponder it I guess) would Alch:Conduc be a decent offering?

Exalted is very valuable. It's about 6 gcps=18 chaos = 36 alch

If you haven't bought one yet and are on softcore, add me Raxmer. I have one for you.
