can we please stop the power creep, already? (or better - reverse it)

Play private leagues if it's too easy and stop the whinging.


Every league same crap.

As i said i`m done with the power creep things.
As far as my build goes, here we can communicate a bit.

robmafia, just because someone is using a different build, and focus on overall aiming on the character, doesn`t mean he know nothing about.
Also your attitude all the way, when you open the thread is being really a **** towards all with different then your opinion.
As well as friend using to buff and stand by your statement. Only a complete id*ot will miss that.

And of course i die, but never said i die often, like this would mean you will drop more xp then you will gain, and i would not be lvl 96.

it seems you need a reminder.

With this items, as you see most gems are 20/20 or 21/20, and my passive i would say are great for this build i still dying.
Died 2 time in t16 Hydra, one shooted me, while i`m at 6,6k life right now.
I was Double Striking at it and could not move in time, he one shooted me. Then freezed and died again.
In Delve 220+, mobs drop my hp bar quite often, died 3 times delving.
plenty of challenge, and by no means is easy.

(you then accused those who don't die/think it's easy of RMTing)

thanks for the insults, though.




@ doc, i finally just built a new comp (although, i still need an extension cable for my cpu power - my stupid case/gigantic heatsink are in the way), let's make pvp fun again.

But if they make all content really hard, and you start sweating in there and feel the challenge, how the guys that doesn`t have the items, neither the currency will feel the game? Impossible right?

Nobody asks for making ALL content REALLY HARD!

Content can (and should) be divided into "difficulty layers", each with excessively higher difficulty & rewards.
If your character doesnt have strong enough items yet, or is underleveled, or you lack mechanical skills, and so on - then you should run content, approprite for your power level, until you became better, get better items, higher level, etc.

But in PoE, situation is very different from that....

First, the power difference between various builds is HUGE, something like between a bow and AK-47. And i dont mean "failed" builds, that use unfitting passives, items, etc. Nope, those are solid builds, that invest into certain mechanics, skills, etc, but fail simply because those mechanics/skills/etc are simply outclassed by other, "meta" options. And due to huge number of multiplicative damage & other multipliers, the difference grows more and more.

Second, DPS trumps everything in PoE. Killing enemy before he kills you is the best and often - the only viable strategy. Enemies dont have any chances to fight back VS strong builds, they can as well be "XP/loot globes", and no one will notice the difference.

Third, farming easy content on supersonic speed while maxing Item Quantity became the most rewarding farming method, while farming difficult content is potentially dangerous and unrewarding.

Fourth, hard content is gated behind boring farming of easy content (or spending currency - which means you'll not upgrade your gear to have access to difficult AND unrewarding content), even despite your character is tough enough to faceroll that "so-called-hard" content! That's absolutely disguisting!

Fifth, ultra-fast movement/killing speeds dont leave any time to watch over enemy stats, react on dangers, and even - collect loot (even potentially good one), because rares drop unidentified, and it isnt worth your time to pick up & identify 100000 rares to find one worth one exalted and the rest being vendor trash, with a possibility of 0.000000000001% of finding a 100 exa-worth item.

Where exactly you see that i write i die often ?
I said that my hp bar drops quite often. I enumerate 4 deaths that i have, and you conclude that i die often.

Again where i accuse anyone in anything? Is there a specific name i mention?
Where is the insults as well ?

Fruz i like the discusion with you. I will think about some of the points you make about my build.

But i`m pretty sure my is viable and will be very balance, when i equip it fully.
I`m just taking the long road, and try to focus on all.

I started with Marauder Jugg, one + shield with Cleave for Aoe, and heavy strike for single target, full physical, it was a mess.
But i like to think my builds. Yeah i could see something here and there, but i want the most work to be done by myself and to be special, to be unique in some way.

But My Jugg was totally mess, there i can easily say that i mess the character and was completely on me, and it was wrong used skill, gear for character i pick.

The game is easy for some, a lot of guy just POB everything, check and lose all days in it, so it`s normal to find weak spot and to make better characters.
But POB it`s not even official tool, also i don`t like it, cause it`s ruin some of the fun and the part where you completely think the build.
MortalKombat3, sorry dude not read your post i said i`m done with that discusion.
I reply mainly for my build discusion.
And that was the end in there too.
I said my opinion plenty of time, as you do and the op, so let other people share their opinion.
Not to reply every single one of them.

When a game is "won" on "PoB stage" (planning stage) already, it's a shame indeed, you know...
As i said, discrepancy between "meta" and "non-meta" builds is way beyond acceptable in PoE.
It's natural, that players tend to use builds giving the highest power in the game. And if take balance merit using those builds (as we should), then PoE will be a STUPIDLY EASY GAME!
Yes, there are many other "so-called builds" in PoE. But in fact, those are not "builds", but rather self-imposed handicaps, that players chose occasionaly or intentionally. I, personally, dont want to play a game, that requires flagellation from me, to pose any resistance to my character.

lolz. this is unreal.

mentions dying as a metric to somehow show there isn't power creep.

then denies dying often, nixing his own claim.

well... at least zerphi's SHOULD* finally be nerfed.

*waiting for the bug/unannounced change that makes it even stronger, just like last time.

well, at least zerphi's got nerfed.

but deterministic crafting got a ridiculous buff, so...

I've seen people say that some skills in this game just need to be bad and others just need to be really good because if every skill had endgame potential, the game would be boring. Probably in the top 10 dumbest shit I ever read about a game. What they say in the video, about devs just tweaking numbers and a balanced game coming down to player skill is funny in a tragic way when I think about this game. Most skill comes from using an evasive skill effectively, everything else is just knowledge and timing. Spam skill until you need to evade. Evade. Repeat.
