It's fine, since they refill quickly without having to pick them up, but it's still annoying. It's like a less fluent version of Diablo 2 with sick gear. I do agree that the skill usage needs to be more varied - but unless you're talking about Shock Nova or something like it, you're definitely going to need more than one spell. Play on the harder difficulties, like Merciless, and hardcore. | ||

It's fine, since they refill quickly without having to pick them up, but it's still annoying. It's like a less fluent version of Diablo 2 with sick gear. This is what I am mostly afraid for. Well in diablo 2 you also used only one spell (for attacking) once you got access to all spells. You only used different spells to be able to get to those lvl 24 or 30 spells. Only later nightmare or hell forced you to use more spells/skills due to monster immunities. Since this game has only 2 acts and even those are not 100% done I would expect they will try to fix this before the game is done with open beta. I must say from Diablo III I love the way they forced players to combine skills by making some of them fill mana while others use it. That was a genius move. If they do something similar in PoE with some skills filling bottles much faster then others that would be great. So you can choose between stronger battle effects and better bottle filling. This would be especially good way to balance AoE skills by giving them a miserable rate of bottle filling. I suggested this on the PoE forums but my topic fast disappeared to other pages  I would say this is more important for survival of the game then almost anything else. | ||

You obviously have done zero research into the game and do not realize what a closed beta work in progress is. Try reading the beta manifesto. Currently there is ~30 skills in the game. They want over 100 skills just for open beta. Also they are redesigning the potion system because it does feel to spammy. Guess why? Because thats the feedback of the beta testers. These comments are uncalled for and will make people not try the game just because YOU didn't do any research at all. | ||

That's a pretty interesting idea. Can you link me to the thread over there? The flasks currently can spawn with mods that do a bit of recharge when receiving or giving critical hits. They're some of the more sought-after flask mods in the late game. A low/no-cost skill that provides extra recharge would eliminate or at least lessen the need for characters to return to town for the free healing/flask fill, which is something that the devs were looking to fix. In Diablo 2, weren't the hell immunities introduced after LoD came out? I think once more skills are introduced, players will feel less like they are using one or two skills through the entire game. The curses already do that a little bit for me. Future buffs, debuffs, summons, totems, traps, etc will make it even better. | ||

It forced you to redo characters so you can make them less one dimensional but it was a much better and more fun game. http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/7185 - there you go. Actually now that I checked on it, someone found it and brought it back to page one. BTW, tnx a lot. I owe you one  | ||

They are here to supplement you, not clear areas. They die easily in Hell. Also most quests ask you to kill someone, and those usually have immunity or two. I don't remember any wands that canceled element immunities. Resistances yes, immunity no. Ignoring areas with monsters immune to your element was an option, but not a fun one. | ||

Ignoring areas with monsters immune to your element was an option, but not a fun one. A half decent A2 nightmare merc could solo hell with little more than a Reaper's Toll(or you using a switch for a weaken wand) to remove physical immunities, including quest mobs and most bosses. Immunities can be removed via lower resist/weaken wands/ammies. | ||
