You normally just play ground slam (or whatever) until you get to cruel and reach those nodes actually. Still, you lack a ton of dex that you really can't get without gear.
the FP rauder is gear dependent cause u need a 5-link for surv alone.
and u need LOTS of HP , like TONS.
Playing it right now id strongly NOT recommend it as a first character.

Not for the majority of the leveling. Kripps skipped a ton of gear needs by using astramentis for stats.

and yeah astramentis might be a low currency item on sc but not on hc. further its not the leveling that is gear dependent but mapping that is gear dependant. also kripp knows what hes doin and all, which u guess 99% of the rest of the player base does not.. so yeah u need a lot of hp gear in the beginning.

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.
it seems 2 me that u didnt get the message about poe, u can ALWAYS get oneshot in PoE if the debuffs align badly. maybe u wanna do some research on the mechanics first.. just saying..
so u mentioned u died alot to desync and that its like REALLY unplayable yada yada yada.
Ive managed to get 3 chars over lvl 80 and died ONCE 2 desync.
so how is it that i died once and u like MANY times? do you think thats desync or ur inability? have an educated guess..
Id advise you stop blaming your deaths on your isp or desync or what ever and try to improve your own gameplay.
IF you manage to do so you will have way more fun.

MY FIRST GCP FINALLY DROPPED.
While rushing a fresh character. At lvl 8. In the Ledge. wtf random generator.
|
Whenever I run high level maps I get diddly squat.
Running an alt, gcp, gcp, chaos, alch ....

Any suggestions for killing Piety on HC normal as a LA ranger w/o having chain? I'm level 36 atm. Should I go somewhere and farm another level or so and hope to get currency for chain? Or just farm currency and get chain as soon as I can? Or should I be able to kill her now? I started the fight and chickened out a little into it.

My first ever exalted dropped for someone else, but they were offscreen. Felt sorry for only a little bit.

I found my first 2 gcps in a row in ledge cruel, 1 from monster then 1 from a chest after a min.
Also, my 2nd exalt running new char in the forest before encampment in a2.

It seems to me you're a moron. Until you're in my house sitting in my chair using my computer on my internet, you have no idea what my PoE game experience is like. The de-synch's in this game can be atrocious and make the game unplayable. All I'm saying is that it's different for everyone and some people have it worse than others. So fucking grow up already.

I have had 3 drop so far and one of the was also at normal legde. Screw maps, normal Ledge farming ftw

I don't know, I think I might win here - during one of the 3 hour party races, the very first zombie that kills the Dying Exile dropped an Alchemy Orb. I was really tempted to alch my sword and try for a Hillock rush, but Duelists are kind of crap for that.

Is the DPS it says on the icon of your skill a know-it-all including everything you have and takes into account possibilities of crits and all that stuff?
I am trying out different wands in my stash and I find it hard to believe how some give me more DPS shown on icon than others.

Id advise you stop blaming your deaths on your isp or desync or what ever and try to improve your own gameplay. IF you manage to do so you will have way more fun. This is what I thought too, but it seems like there are two levels of desyncs. The usual predictable desync, and the "your commands don't even get to the server" kind. But I only experienced the 2nd level in races, and in predictable moments (i.e. waterfall caves to Vaal). I could imagine the whole game being like that, and it'd be pretty frustrating. If you watch streams, you can see what I call normal gameplay, with very little desyncs apart from obvious spots (chargers, tight doors, running through mobs, etc.). But I think the game is entirely different under some circumstances, which seem unrelated to latency.On February 26 2013 14:11 Xinder wrote:Any suggestions for killing Piety on HC normal as a LA ranger w/o having chain?

I started the fight and chickened out a little into it. She's really easy, actually. But if you've never fought her, you could obviously die. Here's how I approach this fight with a ranger:
- Keep attacking her with poison arrow + your single target DPS.
- Kill the adds.
- If she turns into Fire, just keep running, she can't hit you.
- If she turns into Ice, hide behind columns.
- Charge in whenever she turns back to normal. Try not to die to a lightning ball to the face.
Eventually, she'll stop spawning mobs, and she can't really damage you. If you have 60%+ lightning resist, she can't surprise kill you either, and you win.
