Started playing TL2 and that game is so much more fun then current PoE is (PoE was way more fun 1 year ago when it had better balance and barely any desync). Don't know when I will be back, if things don't change a lot maybe never. | ||

I never beat the game, I'm around level 45ish, but my friend gave me some high level goodies. | ||

Meanwhile the PoE community is really taking off due to awesome multiplayer, and while the gameplay isn't as fun as TL2, it has a lot more depth in terms of re-rolls. | ||

I had the most fun when I helped people to do the bandits in A2 cruel/merc rather than running maps or docks. | ||

I got the most fun out of designing new builds, using them for a few days and then seeing how they fail :o And watching Kripparrians do more damage with his lv40 selfound cleaver than my lv 70 freezepulzer LOL. | ||

I got to max level really fast in Torchlight 2, though idk if my fame was maxed (i was demigod or sth, but the next one, if there is one, seemed to take ages). The endgame is somewhat similar, but i guess the fact that online games with other people lagged like shit for me killed it for me. | ||

GGG set some nice goals in their little development blog. Now it is merely a waiting game to see when those goals are met. | ||

That being said I'm looking for people to play with on my FP Shadow (just started cruel A3 at the time of post). I'm really into Hardcore mode for these types of games, and all the characters I build are high on the survivability end in one way or another... but... the desync issues in PoE make it really impossible for me to stick to this. Maybe it's my ISP, but I've been having a lot of problems lately. | ||

However, I killed packs of mobs much, much, much faster. I was extremely surprised by how much better my LA became even though the dps went down significantly. | ||

Your DPS on mob packs is higher with chain than it is without it due to the way Chain and LA interact with one another. That DPS number is deceptive in alot of ways, especially when it comes to shock. | ||

I guess it's more of an near end-game linking? The char sheet does not account for how many targets you hit; It assumes you only hit one target. Chain makes the projectiles split twice meaning three times as many targets will be hit and each of those targets procs the lightning effect that hits up to three nearby targets. The char sheet is misleading for determining the DPS of abilities that hit more than one enemy. You need to take the sheet DPS and multiply it by the number of targets you would be hitting. In an ideal scenario for LA+Chain+LMP that is 3 projectiles fired that each hit three additional nearby targets from the LA effect. Those three projectiles also chain to two additional targets. The chained targets will also hit three additional nearby targets from the LA effect. 3 [LMP] * 3 [Chain] * 4 [Lightning Arrow] = 36 hits. Adding chain to your link typically halves the damage displayed on the char sheet, but in the ideal scenario will make it hit 36 times instead of just 12. There must be enough monsters around for all the hits to happen though. | ||

Also multi strike seems pretty important to lightning strike builds yeah? something like: LS, WED, LMP, MS, Blood Magic. I guess since I only have a 4 link anyway I could try without MS... :p (its going for like 8+ chaos right now  )I'm a 54 marauder essentially done cruel except for the piety kill. | ||

Multi-strike is new, and so was only very recently linked to lightning strike as a good build. I've been running able to run ls +8% along with LMP/WEP/ Reduced Mana just fine. But I do have quite some mana gain on hit gear from my rings and helm. I'm in act 2 merciless right now farming fellshrine and i main a duel wield cleave mostly with LS as an accessory, but I could main LS as well. Not the optimal build I know, but fun  As a disclaimer though I am in default, and while I don't die unless I'm really careless, I do take a bit more liberties with my build. | ||

There are 2 new custom mods available in the mods list: - Has # Resistances - Adds a total of #% to Resistances So basically, you can now search for items with, for example, at least 2 resistances, whatever they are. And also search for items which adds at least +90% to your total resistances %. These 2 things have been requested a lot. Second update is the fact that I now sum the implicit and explicit mods. For instance, a belt with a "+26 to maximum life" implicit mod, and a "+80 to maximum life" explicit mod will be found when you search for a belt with at least "+100 to maximum life". It wasn't the case before. The only problem with that, I just realized, is that you cant really search for a maximum in this case. I'll try to fix it. Anyways, enjoy | ||

Very often desync is caused because the mob is desync and you try to attack it. If you hold shit it will just resync to its place and nothing bad will happen but if you dont thats when you get fucked  Use shift for attacks, curses, traps and everything else. I used to get very frustrated about the issue but its not so bad after you learn to deal with it.Now if only they would fix the game running at 3 fps in a party on AMD cards | ||
