Not sure NIJ, imo you are right about the "pretty much faceroll" part, but that's probably not the case for beginners. At least some people certainly have problems, else I wouldn't read threads about solo being impossible and people writing in channel that they can't beat Merveil or Oak...

Of course, for a experienced player even solo selffound is crazy easy until maps (unless you play a slow starting build like CI summoner or something).

Definitely not the case for beginners. Just as a reminder, some of them don't bother taking life or defense, will use shitty rares for way too long, stuff like that. Add to this not knowing the game at all, and you get struggling people in cruel.
They may push it to merciless, but then the xp penalty becomes enough of an issue that they hit a wall and can't progress anymore.

Yep, though the latest update makes it almost possible to progress without taking many life nodes as the base Life is pretty decent nowadays.

Eh, it kind of evens out. You still need to take a decent amount since they decrease the % on them.

It feels like it just made it harder to have absurd amounts of HP while allowing people to hit the 3-5K range more easily.

Anyone with a lvl 6 Vorici on Bloodlines that would care to trade my Jeweler's into Fusings? Would be really nice.

And I had a complete rip in the most stupid way... So I managed to beat cruel Dominus with my homebrewn build, was feeling pretty good about it, yaddi yadda.
On the way to brutus, I find an ice nova box, place my smoke mine, go to open it, detonate my mine aaaand... stay in place. Nova + a few hits from mobs and rip.
So yeah, today I learned that if you don't have a perfect line of sight to where you place the mine, you don't move. Hope that'll help someone !

Yeah, if you don't have LoS for teleport skills they don't actually work.

I learned that the hard way with lightning warp lol. Every time I open strongboxes in non outside areas, I test my warp to make sure it works.

So I was running a 76 map and found a blue chest with +5 chest level and +1 exile. I decided to reroll it since a lvl 81 exile sounds spooky, but it on the other hand it could've dropped some pretty sweet loot. At what point do exiles like that become too dangerous?

The level of the exile doesn't really matter, except I think a lot of them add pen/ support gems to their attacks at lvl 60-something. What matters is which exile it is, e.g. if Magnus pops up you nope out.

I think I just find the rip penalty in HC too high these days... stupid law school takes up too much of my time.

But at the same time SC is just faceroll.

What do

Just seems that low level leveling is so slow now because of the low pop.

First time using Smoke Mine here and I never knew that...that most likely will save me from rips since I use it to yolo boxes all the time

Leveling alone is much faster if you don't have a dedicated group. If you join pugs, 4/5 of the people suck. At least from my experience.

I actually stopped play PoE because its so time intensive, HC is fun, but re-rolling after desynch get boring. Back to Dotka, might play some PoE again in a couple of months. Its a really good game.

When I first started playing this game I played with 2 friends who had this "hardcore or die" (literally) mentality. I ripped to desync several times, then quit playing. Now I'm coming back to the game 1.5 years later and playing my (now softcore) RIPped characters and having a great time. To be honest I would be a lot more interested in HC if I didn't desync AT LEAST 20 times per hour. On top of that all the new instagib mechanics that have been added since release (devourers weren't a thing back then for example) are way too much.

Really loving playing softcore now, just working on new builds. Currently playing a budget low-life max aura ele wander - budget meaning I use Solaris Lorica instead of Shavs and most of my damage comes from my 4 flat damage auras. I have recently converted the toon to use IIQ/IIR gems (IIQ gem being one of the only nice legacy things I have from when I played before) so I lost a bunch of damage but I can still easily clear up to 70 maps for the unid chaos recipe. I have a Power Siphon MF culling + Generosity support setup for group mapping as well. I'm going to use this character as my primary farmer for now until I get some currency, then spend some on kitting him out with actual good gear before making the leveling push to 90.

My new project is a staff Static Strike Templar. Currently 57 and having a bit of a rough time right now mostly just due to outdated gear but by 62 I will have replaced several pieces and should be wrecking it. I also have my original character which was a self-cast Ice Spear build. I got a little too excited and tried to do a full Fire Prolif (Cold to Fire + Herald of Ash) conversion with my free respec before I was quite ready, so this character is on hold until I can get my Infernal Mantle linked + one of the elemental staves.


For my Static Striker, I can tell that I'm going to need a lot more physical mitigation on a melee character. What is the absolute MAX physical mitigation setup I can use right now? I heard armor kinda sucks, so is it block? How much block can reasonably be achieved with a staff? Lightning Coil? I was thinking about trying to get the Mind Over Matter keystone AND using a Lightning Coil. Is the interaction between these two as good as I think?

Block i don't recommend with a staff

Lightning coil is a strong mechanic although it's definitely much better if you have over 75 lightning resistance.

I highly recommend a 4-link of the following gems
Cast when damage taken
Enduring Cry
Immortal Call
Increased Duration

Depending on your regen, max HP, etc you often want to leave the CWDT at level 1 and the other skills at (whatever level can be supported, I think level 3 EC/IC and max out increased duration).

Other than that, having a granite of iron skin can definitely keep you alive through most non-boss hits if you have a decent armor total outside of that. Just don't eat big boss hits unnecessarily.

Mind over Matter is really questionable without ethereal battery and I doubt your build is particularly near either of those keystones tbh.

Someone on Bloodlines that wants to sell Fusings to me (2:1c)?

On another note: Just couldn't end my zana daily. Had a Tora mission to complete and had like 20+ Ursans+lightning dmg with phyl link in 5 different rooms...
