Excuses.

My points and opinions are generally provocated by your sweeping generalizations, and nothing I say is, in any way, a means to offend you:

You suck at this game.

No, I do not. As I am level 77 while being horribly geared, and have soloed level 71 maps without dying.

My build is nothing unusual, as many are running with extremely similar builds. You do mean to offend and offer nothing else.

Now kindly please run back to your 6k hp blood magic marauder and kill some level 63s at the docks with your 11k dps. I don't mean to offend.

I'm level 68 and the game is getting super boring, I have to farm low level zones for hours, I die every time I get past 50% of my xp bar so I'm kinda stuck there. I found 2 maps so far, completed one dungeon map easily, until the boss 2 shot me. So as far as I am concerned, end game is farming docks, in D3 I can farm all 4 acts.

Maybe my build is not viable, I tried to go for a melee marauder using a 2 handed weapon and Sweep as an AOE attack, double strike as a single target. My character kinda sucks, I don't even remember the last time i found an item upgrade. I used up tons of chaos/alchemy orbs to get crap on every attempt. I picked all the HP and charge nodes I could and I still instantly die when jumping into a pack of mobs in level 63 zone.

Combat is still clunky and boring since you alway fight the same monsters, playing in a group sucks as a marauder, I'm completely useless, I can't tank for shit, and I do insignificant damage.

All in all, I'm back to D3, in the end, the crafting system is equivalent in both games: you spend resources to roll an item, most often than not you get crap and sometimes you get something good. D3's system is simpler but in the end it all comes down to using resources to roll random items.

Trading is much better in D3, I spend minimal time putting my items at the AH and minimal time browsing for what I need. Here it seems that you have to spend hours reading spam and doing research to avoid getting ripped off. Seeing how 99% of the items linked on trade chat are crap, I don't know how to come up with good ones. Maybe trading is the solution to progress, but I play an ARPG to slay monsters, not to spend hours reading spam.

Anyway I will keep an eye on this game, but right now I have lost all interest, farming the same zone all over again until you can find maps is just boring. If I had a lot of maps, maybe the game wouldn't be so boring but farming docks again and again just sucks.

Your sweeping generalizations only front my defence.

If you're dying, making excuses, and wonder why other people succeed where you don't, there is a high probable chance that you - suck.

Other people succeed with different characters. More experience with this game. Better gear. More dps. Up to several times higher than what mine is allowing them to 1 shot any basic mob. To think anyone reached a level like that without having any trouble makes you extremely ignorant. But I don't want to argue with you, as it makes me feel retarded. And I hope it makes you feel retarded too. If you want to be retarded with me, send me a PM and we can indeed be retarded with each other.

Tell me where I went wrong. Help me succeed, I beg of you. From one human being to another, tell me how to better gear myself. How to get better drops and find the right items to allow me to not die to mobs who teleport to you when I started the fight at the most possible maximum distance.

Circumstantial situations seem to be the ones I die in mostly. Help me fix that.

Tell me what to do to gear myself from almost scratch. I also must tell you that my computer is very bad.

You will really ease my mind and help me feel a lot better by doing so. You will really be helping me. Please do help me.

Ahem. Deceptionist, you have been called out. You threw down the gauntlet and now it is time to answer civilly and responsibly.

This is off topic but the topic itself is all but dead. Irony.

So....if you are going to say someone sucks, let us see if you can earn the right to do so. Help this person, or hold thy dull tongue.

I would, but I'm researching still. I'm new to PoE and only played for a week. Spent more than half of it composing music instead. I'm focusing on a current build, and I haven't been able to do much with it. My Marauder (note: I didn't even try to properly use my passive tree) made it to Cruel, Act 2. Which is really not that impressive. However, you don't see me on the forums going ''THIS GAME IS IMPOSHIBLE. I LOST MY TYMe, BECUZ MY KEYBOARD IS ON CRACK AND KILLED ME IN WUN SECONDZ. Y IS GGG SO MERCILESS, AND WHY IS THERE IS A MERCILESS DIFFICOLTY. I DUN UNDERSTANDZ! MY BRAIN CAN'T TAKE TIS ANYMOR. GGG, FIX YOUR GAME, PLOX. IT REMINDS ME OF HOW INCOMPETINT I AM!"

I work hard. I put my brain into overdrive and I keep looking for that breakthrough. I go over builds over and over again. And as I do so, my brain starts making the connections. The more I work on it, the sooner I discover something innovative.

That's what you need to do. Ask the right questions. Look for the right answers. Stop complaining. Stop making excuses. Learn how to play a cut-throat game. Get used to the tension, the hardcore playstyle. Grow some balls. Get your head in the game, and out from other people's arses. Everyone has a brain - not everyone uses it to even its moderate potential. This game will make your brain happy. Since you're probably a virgin, you could atleast compensate for your body's unhappiness by making your brain happy.

Now, go and spread your wings, then watch this game sever them from you. Learn to tread upon the path of hellfire and deceit. This is reality, and may you bring out your insanity inorder give it a tour within the real world you have neglected long enough... It's time to grow, mate. It's time to stand and become more than a child in an older body. It's time to make use of the greater attributes nature only gives to those who break away from their shells.

In other words you're a noob who hasn't got to merciless yet and who still believes that they can come up with their own smart build when in reality the only way to succeed is to copy/paste one of the few viable builds or to have the luck to come up with something similar :)

Well I wish you to enjoy PoE but you will soon realize that this huge skill tree is nothing but a huge smoke screen because in the end there is no build diversity at all.

Now we can hope that they balance it and that more builds will become viable for end game, the game is still a beta but right now it's pretty bad.

Didn't see Sizzlebuzz type anything like that either.

So I am seeing a lot of....excuses why you can't or won't help.

God might help those who help themselves, and God help you if you insult another level headed poster as you did in this thread, Deceptionist.

Consider that a warning to all that civility and respect are not earned here, only lost. And that which has been lost, can be regained.

@Sizzlebuzz: What about the people in your friendlist?

My experience is: The easiest way to get good gear and items is to play PoE with people, who share their drops with you. I have some "friends" that ask me when I come online "Hey I´ve found a nice XY, wouldn´t this be a good item for you witch/marauder/ranger?"

So not try to find items in a chat or in the trade forum, try to find "friends" online! Forget the public games, there is nothing but anarchy in most cases.

You can be sure, if we would play together, I would give you good items without any consideration from your side, even if they drop for me. PoE is a social game, try to use this!
