Anyone else getting tired of all the mandatory defense stacking?
|
Seriously, look at every end-game build, what do they all have in common? They spend at least half their points on damage mitigation and health/ES passives.
Look at all of the most expensive armor pieces, they've all got the same end-all be-all combination of tri-resists, +health, and, depending on what build you are, increased AR/EV/ES. For a chest piece, any other stat is garbage. Life regen? Block and stun recovery? Damage reflect? All useless. Look at the most sought after unique equip in the game, Kaom's Heart. With the most boring stats out of any unique in the game, it has no sockets and does absolutely nothing except give your character more armor and life. The worst part about this is that we all need these same items, but there's very little of them to go around, so when an item happens to roll the perfect set of stats, EVERYONE wants it. Do you know why some people have the balls to call a chest-piece that looks like this the "best chest-piece in the game?"  Because everyone not running CI wants those stats! It's sad to see spork totem, a build that required very little defensive stats to survive due to their massive range, get nerfed so heavily. I ask, why? At first glance, the itemization in Path of Exile seemed amazing and complex, but as I get into it, it starts to feel more and more like Diablo 3. Ce fil de discussion a été automatiquement archivé.

Or maybe it's because there's 0 offensive stats available for the chest piece (rares one anyway)?

" Yeas, most builds just go into heavy defence. That is quite understandable. In inforgiving Wraeclast, your main goal is to SURVIVE. End-gae chest pieces indeed have tri-res, tri-defence and HP on them usually, but chests actually CANT roll offensive stats! And if there is the only option for chest (defence), why do you wonder they all have defence? Regen on gear is useless, indeed. As well as reflect. I dont know why developers made them so useless. Probably, they wanted to make several useless stats as well. But there are plenty useful stats anyway - resists, life, stats, mana... Kaom... that's just one unique, yes, it's indeed defensive. But shavrone's wrappings were, actually, offensive chest (decent ES, no res), why they were all-sought as well then (before nerf)? Your logic is ill. My build, dude, uses just 9 defensive (Increased and More energy shield) nodes. Guess, what the remaining nodes are? There are some viable offensive builds. Just ask for them.

You guys are missing the point telling him chests can't roll offensive stats lol.. That's kind of the whole point, there is very little diversity at all when you look at it properly.

" I disagree The diversity comes from all the unique chests. Build of the week #9 - Breaking your face with style http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_EcQDOUN9Y

I agree, by the time you need mid cruel you NEED max resist and high hp or es to even survive against basic mobs (one example being arc mages from barracks, they will rip you so fast you cant say rip in time). Max res is pretty much mandatory when every mob has at least one elemental or chaos dmg on them.
Most builds tend to go this way. Get as much as armor/es/evasion and hp as possible and then at end game slowly get ur dmg up. Closed Beta Member.

Because armor is pretty much useless, you have to stack ES/Life

" How is that diverse that everybody needs to pick the same item lol? |

you dont need 2k armor, 100+ life, tri res, 6L chests to play the game
the most "sought after" item according to your, kaoms, is not a 2k armor, 100+ life, tri res, 6L chest rare armors have cant roll offensive stats, so obviously the best rare armor has the best possible rolled defensive stats there are plenty of unique options for every single slot in your inventory i dont think you have enough experience with the game to make these kind of comparisons, there are alot of subtle variation in gear that synergizes with your build |
