Path of exile? (Diablo 3 type free game)

humanji

*Sigh* this, Batman Origins, Rocksmith 2014 and Lego Marvel all in the same week. I wouldn't be in this predicament if that bloody cloning machine worked.

Downloading my patch update at the moment

Hitting that Nemesis hardcore ****.

Friend got me back into this the last 10 days, jsut intime for launch. So much better now then the previous iterations I played

Big Knox

Running a spectral throw scion on Nemesis (Flavour of the month indeed) and glad to be back playing. Burned myself out a few months back but some great updates recently and really enjoying it again!

brubru72

bloody amazing for a ftp! loving it atm:)

YouSavedMyLife

Back into this since release, running an ice build CI witch in Nemesis. Fun stuff

TheDoc

Typical, four days of work, Magnet internet down to snail pace in my area. Can barely play, not risking my Nemesis characters

Really enjoying it myself as well. Playing as a Ranged Shadow, but still only around lvl20. Great game, and it's much improved from the early betas.

My one gripe so far (and it's only a small thing that might only bug me) is if i'm holding down the mouse to attack an enemy, once the enemy is dead i end up running to the spot where the enemy died. Means i need to individually click to attack a lot of the time, which is annoying.

Magill

Holding space attacks on spot. If that helps.

Actually... maybe its shift ? Mine is space.

CrazyRabbit

Dammit the final boss on cruel is hard. Even with 1800 HP & 60+ lightning resist he can kill in 2 seconds. Finally got him though after 3 deaths.

Hold down shift as you target

Left my Ranger for a bit to start a new Marauder. Unfortunately internet has been piss poor last two days but back a bit better today so have been able to play Nemesis.

Building an infernal blow style marauder with a two hander, absolutely sick damage and great uptime

Any chance of link to your build ?

Here's my planned full build for Maurader Infernal Blow. Amazing damage and fun seeing everything explode.
Using Infernal Blow + Melee Splash + Multistrike + Added Fire Damage.
And I hope to either add Fire Penetration, Life on Hit/Life Leech or Melee Physical Damage gems later.

L56 now and still going strong in Merciless.

This goes about giving a pretty good guide on infernal blow marauder and pretty much everything you need to know

I started a Marauder earlier myself, and it's great fun. A nice change from the ranged Shadow that i was playing. Just run in and smash everything at the moment, and flying through it.

Kiith

Should i bother identifying items i don't plan on use before selling them, or is that just a waste of wisdom scrolls. I've stopped picking up anything that isn't blue or above, but even still, i end up with a ton of crap that i need to sell. Never sure if it's worth using a scroll before selling.

Magill

Scrolls are worthless after a while as you'll have so many of them anyway. Use away.

ID yellows and above only. Blues are rarely worth it.
Eventually, you'll even stop picking up the blues.

Of course, if it has 3 linked sockets of different colours then pick it up!

Whats the benefit of linked sockets? Do the gems get bonuses from other gems if they are linked?

If you sell an item with three linked slots of 3 diff colours you get a chromatic orb. You should check the vendors to buy these, and then sell them back for a chromatic.

And thats the sum total knowledge I have about the ingame currency!

What's the deal with unique items? When i say what's the deal, i mean can you get unique drops for your level, or are they always well below your current characters level. I've had two drop today, both of the same lvl8 helmet. I'm lvl35 though.

Also, hoping Merciless (or is it Cruel?) is harder, as i'm flying through normal with my Marauder.

Kiith

Bloody hell, so much for breezing through normal. Had huge issues with the final boss, and he absolutely slaughtered me over and over again. Eventually got him, but had to exploit it a bit by using tons of portal scrolls and chip away at his health. That was a hell of a jump from every other fight i've had.

Gonna give Cruel a go now, and also roll a new class today. For a F2P game, it has a serious amount of content.

Cruel is a lot harder. Merciless is...well, merciless. Even trash mobs can kill you quick if you are not careful. High HP, resists and armor/evasion/ES, along with some way to regen life is really needed.

Kiith

Yeah, that's what i thought. I'm pretty much a glass cannon with my Marauder at the moment, which is why i struggled on the final boss so much.

Fancy a change of pace now though, and have rolled a Witch.

Big Knox

First HC death today on Nemesis. Merciless Dominus is not fun!!

Gummy Panda

I have it installed but still haven't played it.

Is there no floating combat text?

Not that I know of - Any stat you could hope for is described fully in the character pane, tells you the potential DPS of every spell you are using alongside all the effects they give. You're never in a position to know how much HP or Resistances mobs have but to be quite honest you don't need to - You'll have the general idea of how much damage you are capable of and any reasons why you're not living up to that mark can be noticed either through in-game actions or just looking at the tips under the enemy bars describing what benefits they have. If the option isn't in the game already (wasn't the last time I checked, but could be wrong) then I won't be shocked if they add it in the future, much like they recently added the mini-lifebars above enemies heads so you don't have to keep staring at the main HP bar at the top of the screen.

I need those numbers for epeen satisfaction

TheDoc

First HC death on Saturday thanks to a glorious combo of rubbish irish internet and desyncing on server side.

Top game, but alot of people suffering stupid deaths to desync which kinda ruins the fun a little.
