The only way a ground slam is supposed to hit you is if you're already attacking him when he starts, or if you're running toward him. If you do the close-range circle strafing, he's as powerless as a fellshrine zombie. Plus, unless you're running straight at him or away from him, his hook cannot hit either.I totally disagree with HC being a waste of time to play in current PoE. I have had next to no major issues with lag and the brief moments I've experienced are easy to see coming and avoid. I'm not saying NOBODY dies to lag/desync issues but I think it's mostly a player scapegoat. The only time I ever noticed gameplay happering issues was during the race events. All of my PoE friends and I play HC and of all our deaths in HC (I think between the 5 of us, 4-5 characters have died) only 1 was related to lag, and I wasn't even online at the time to confirm his story. Most players die because they fuck up. I'm used to dealing with regular desyncs. You figure out what it probably looks like on the server, and you deal with it accordingly. But this was just something else. My ping was low, my health updated like it usually does, but everything was just.. so.. much.. harder. And today's races didn't have that many people either. So, not sure what to think. I opened Nugi's stream for a few minutes and one of his teammates was complaining and died. Something's wrong with our interwebs. | ||

I know this isn't a perfect solution, but I bind "/oos" to my mouse5 key. As soon as I start feeling some desync funny business I hit it immediately. Saved me twice today in the race. | ||

I get a healthy amount of desync when normally playing but it never bothers me. I feel that the desyncing is not too bad when you are playing safe and slow, but in a race due to your playstyle each desync is a life-threatening experience. I know this isn't a perfect solution, but I bind "/oos" to my mouse5 key. As soon as I start feeling some desync funny business I hit it immediately. Saved me twice today in the race. How are you binding it? A macro or something? Is that allowed by GGG? I have only had one near death experience b/c of desync. I was in the crematorium and went into an area w/ a necro casting flammability and firemobs. I took lots of damage popped a charge on my pot and my quicksilver and ran back into the entrance room. Next thing I know I'm still taking flammability damage and popped everything on my pots + my last quicksilver just as the servers catchup and i find out i hadn't left the room with the necro and fire mobs apparently. | ||

Something's wrong with our interwebs. nugi was also showing one of the 4 IPs DoSing him so he died in the pyramid as level 21 (It would probably have happened anyway with that low a level!). It was his firewall that caught it and sounded the alarm. My guess is that DDoSing of PoEs servers are intensifying during races since it cause the most grief to players. That and the natural problems of many players online at the same time. | ||

Play HC all you want, but until de-synch and ridiculous 1-shots are gone from the game, I won't be joining you. And I actually -want- to play HC. | ||

But I am being 100% accurate when I say I only die to de-synch and that I have a lot of deaths. It's that bad. Play HC all you want, but until de-synch and ridiculous 1-shots are gone from the game, I won't be joining you. And I actually -want- to play HC. If you want to play it so badly, then play it. This isn't your game, it's theirs, and they can design it however they want. | ||

I have been looking at builds, tried LA ranger, didn't like duel totem isn't interesting to me and EK isn't either as well as wand spec. Asking for TL help on a build looking for a lot of health nodes, ability to run % auras = no blood magic but open to blood magic gem. Looking for inner focus and body and soul, both nodes if possible also interested in eliminating choas resists so CI as well. Maybe Ice shot templar/marauder ? Will update if I come up with any way to pull build off | ||

It's really high damage and really safe, not sure how gear dependent it is. Marauder is really gear dependent because you can't level up your skills without an insane amulet. However you can do the same build with shadow for the cost of just a few skill points and it is very gear independent. | ||

You normally just play ground slam (or whatever) until you get to cruel and reach those nodes actually. | ||

I allready lost 1 char 2 desync at lvl 76 in a map and yes i was map but i have played 3 builds 2 80+ in hc now and didnt die. so desync or not, it will mostly only kill you if u were prepared in the first place. Further more id really like to state that playing softcore is like the most boring thing ever... like no adrenaline etc 8/ So if u prepare for desync ur way less likely to be owned by it, but desync shouldnt actually be a thing u have to think about in the first place. if u need any advice on poe, just PM and im sure i might hook u up with a good answer =) HF | ||
