Why Im quiting PoE until SSF gets better drops
" too bad that you are the ONLY one in this thread that gets oneshotted on regular basis. |

Well all i have to say that it really feels bad if you get a lousy lvl 5 unique at level 71, if they change the level range at least i would be very happy.
|
|
" Maybe you do not realize how certain low level uniques can be useful : SSF is not and will never be a standard for balance, it is not for people entitled to getting more without trading.
| |
" Actually please do. You don't listen to anyone, getting all offensive when people try to help you with advices on what you might be doing wrong. GGG won't buff your drops in ssf, so good luck playing diablo 3 or something. Bye! |

" The alternative would be no unique. So unique or no unique, which do you prefer? https://youtu.be/T9kygXtkh10?t=285
FeelsBadMan Remove MF from POE, make juiced map the new MF. |

" Exactly. I'd love to get some low lvl uniques atm ( Goldrim, where art thou?) If I'd have one thing changed, it would be so that high lvl items couldn't have the lowest lvl affixes spawning on them; but I'm fine with the game as is. Sorry for the little derail - not that this thread was going anywhere... "Metas rotate all the time, eventually the developers will buff melee"

" There is plenty of evidence. - You consider Evasion and Dodge primary defenses. Any experienced player will tell you otherwise. They are supplementary. They are there to prevent you from getting hit all the time, they do nothing for you when you actually do get hit. - You think 7K ES is a lot. It's not. I got 9K ES last league on a build that cost me less than 15 chaos and I wasn't even an Occultist, who can get truly absurd amounts of ES. - You're trying to buy a 5L chestpiece with 700 ES or a 6L unique and complaining about the price. Of course it's expensive if you want someone else to do all the gambling and take all the risk for you; they charge a premium for convenience. This isn't even a PoE-specific thing, this is basic economics. Farm jewelers and fusings, buy the chestpiece for 20-25c, 20% that sucker, and 5L it yourself. It's cheaper. And 6L are supposed to be luxury items for the rich. - You talk about getting one-shot by Merciless Izaro. Only way he one-shots anything is with tons of buffs and you sitting in his ground slam. Uber Izaro is a different story, but Merciless is not that bad. - You're speaking about broad game issues despite having experienced relatively little of the content. I'm not talking stuff like Shaper, Uber Atziri, Uber Lab, etc. I'm talking actual full-playthrough content. There's only so much you can make and design with four characters without spending fortunes on Orbs of Regret, and given your complaints about prices I'm guessing you don't have a fortune. You're doing the same things over and over again. Branch out, experience something different, try something new. It's how you learn, and learning is how you get better. - You complain about farming, but then complain about being poor. That's like complaining that nobody bought a drink for you then complaining that you're thirsty. You need to take initiative. Some effort is required. Knowing how to farm efficiently is important in this game. Here's a tip: Use characters to finance others. A cheap character that can farm Dried Lake can get enough Chaos (or get enough decent drops in SSF) to finance a stronger character who can farm better. |

" a) The three primary defenses are armor, es and evasion, they are even called that (if you get increased defenses, those are the ones that increase). And I is hard to argue to add life to those 3. Dodge is secondary, block is, endurance charges or leech is etc. b) All of the primary defenses have weaknesses which you have to overcome which is sometimes harder sometimes easier. An Evasion based character that gets a lot of Endurance Charges is propably the best life based option right now, because he is good against elemental damage and the charges help with it's weakness physical damage If you just go for one Primary Defense, iE only Energy Shield you get in trouble. If you are using only Energy Shield you are completly relying on your recovery. Of course it isn't too hard to add Regeneration or Leech as secondary defenses to it, but in its own it isn't a good defense, the same goes for armor, which gets destroyed by elemental damage and evasion which does nothing against spells. " Yeah 7k is decent though for SSF. If you cannot buy even 1c items because you are playing SSF you can run into troubles, although up to red maps you are fine even with 7k ES except for some nasty bosses, but you should know and avoid those. Everything else isn't too hard, 7k ES is enough for Atziri, enough for Uber Lab and like I said enough for all maps except a few chosen ones and red maps. If you are playing SSF you also should know what you are getting yourself into. If you are playing a Lifebased RF-Totem character you essentially need no items at all. A Sceptre with increased Fire damage and one Resistance mod is basically your best weapon until Doryanis (there are a few other good sceptres like Dark Seer of course). If you are choosing something like A CI wander as one example you will very likely run into troubles. With SSF it isn't really possible to play the build you want because you might need a certain quality of items or even a specific unique. In one League I played an RF-Totem Chieftain and that was before he got many new tools like the Resistance Gem giving Damage, like Scorching Ray for more reliable resistance reduction or belt of the deceiver as a straight damage amplification. The character basically had a bunch of armor items and a tabula and he did T14 maps, not with the fastest of clearspeeds, but he did them. " Atziri and Uberlab isn't really anything too special anymore. Even as a life based char characters easily survive most of her attacks and the times when Atziri was actually dangerous is long gone. Merc Izaro is a completly pushover, when I do them all on the appriorate level he is actually easier than cruel. Uber hits hard, but most of his attacks are easy to avoid, just don't buff him if you can't survive it. Also I'm not sure how your issues have anything to do with too few drops for SSF. Does this create less spiky damage outputs? Not really. Does it fixes the imbalance between life and ES? Not really. Hardly anybody would deny that there are situations when damage is too spiky or that the way maps roll is a bit too random and makes maps either trivial or impossible just because how mods can stack. You can roll a T10 map that gets way harder than any well rolled T15 map. If I'm not mistaken certain builds can roll a full 6 mods that all increase the damage they take while it is also possible to not roll a single one. |

" Err,no?The alternative would be a unique that is at my level,why would you say that the alternative is nothing at all? And yes,there are certain items that don´t suck and are low level, but please don´t argue for the sake of arguing. |

You are getting the game wrong, if everything were easy to get, u would play 1 week, have nothing to do and quit, the fun is when ur character is incomplete, not when u have everything.
Also playing hardcore is more fun. In one week farm you can get the 300c that is worth a shavs for example, is not even hard, just spam chaos recipe. In less than that, u can farm Woe essences for a high es chest. I can put examples like this all day, and i am talking about HC, sofcore is even easier. IGN: Ariannahh
