I RIP'd on my second run but that was just me being an idiot. I made another one and at 72 I'm clearing maps easily and on my way to doing Atziri again. Yeah I'm with you on that one. Although I'm playing torment, I'm having a blast with my 2h static striker, I oneshot trash, stun even some bosses, and it feels very safe. The only thing that's coming close to kill me now is map's merveil, and that's because my cold resist sucks. I have yet to see high lvl maps, but I'm stomping everything so hard right now that I'm very confident about those. | ||

You only get better by practicing.  I believe my first vanilla descent I reached lvl 17 so it's roughly the same. It's not bad for beginning but you can obviously improve a lot if it's fun to you. I personally think racing is very fun and feels rewarding. Sadly I feel like I don't have enough time to invest into races atm. | ||

Also why the heck is CoD so expensive? Doesn't help that the chaos: exalt ratio is double what it used to be... | ||

I've got like 300 exalts, a legacy koams, very good iiq gear etc. Probably will never be worth anything since PoE declined in popularity, is what I am thinking, but maybe things have changed. Did the value of myself go up or..? Hardcore will probably forever stay the least popular league. Most hardcore players are "competetive" players that play the new leagues for extra difficulty. I wouldn't say that PoE declinded in popularity, I read at the day of the new leagues there was another high in players online at the same time. Hardcore however is pretty dead afaik. Also, your value probably has gone up as multiple items went legacy. Not that you need it with 300ex... | ||

I lose my enthusiasm when I start late as well. I have been working on this discharge build that I saw posted up, and while leveling I decided to use pillar of cage god with static strike, since its a burning discharge you end up with a ton of str nodes while leveling, and I have to say it is immensely enjoyable. More than once I have considered just abandoning the discharge idea and grabbing some staff nodes. The dps on static is 2500 at level 43(4 linked), pretty much 1 shot anything, and I have not a single phys node. I found hardcore in diablo 3 to be way worse, server problems made it nearly impossible to play with the rubberbanding problems and intermittant lag. Past that a bad champion mod pack will just 1 shot you and theres nothing at all you can do about it. If you meant d2 hardcore, well there's a laundry list of issues there too. I have been playing PoE for a long time, ask evo I play like a lunatic with very low life node investment. While I don't always make it past 75 maps, I have only lost 2 characters in maps, 1 was pre-nerf offscreen chaska instadeath and the other was a lovely party member helping the precinct boss to a nice target to chain her attack off of. I have never once in all of the time playing PoE ever died to a server problem, desync or frame freezes or whatever. I have however died plenty of times to being an idiot. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + If anyone think I'm being remotely serious here, don't. So hm any try on the buffed Immortal Flesh yet? With AA nerf the belt give an additional lvl 11/12 physical reduction of AA now. W/o it I feel AA alone is pretty lackluster atm. | ||

Don't do it. ^^ My Discharger is owning endgame. Never had a build being so ridicouls overpowered, never had a build which with people refuse to map with you because it is too boring ... Avatar of Fire Discharger ftw. edit: I died about 5+ times to instable Servers. Cruel Dominus at Release-Night of Act 3.5. Last Season Died to driver-crash, bluescreens thanks to poe .... can't say I haven't expierenced any deaths in 2 years cause of servers being retards  | ||

I'm currently playing my discharger on torment but the more I play it the more i get convinced that with minor tweaks the build is hardcore viable. my numbers on discharge: + Show Spoiler + 5x End, 6x Pow Charges Discharge (+ Inc Crit Strikes + Inc Crit Dmg + Conc Effect + Ele Prolif + Life Leech): ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/MIwToss.png) Without Power Charges I have 72,7% Critchance on Discharge Without Avatar of Fire the average damage is around 75k. My current tree: + Show Spoiler + For HC i would get the few missing juicy hp-points instead of templar spell damage and would consider freeing one point by going over the 6% ele dmg instead of 2x 12% light dmg to celestial punishment. So with lv95 you could still go up to 165+% hp in tree. But most adjustments would be in terms of CwDT Gems I guess. | ||

I had it running for some time but ended up respeccing out of it because you are killing stuff way to fast to make double curses efficient.

What's the target % life for characters these days? I'm seeing a lot around 110-150% now How bad is desync for a flicker strike build? I've got a CI-crit build laid out, but dunno how much I'll facepalm. | ||

Flickerstrike ... well ... can be pretty desyncy because of desynced mobs and you targeting them etc. in general it is not quite enjoyable imo | ||
