dumb faggot fuck off

can't WAIT for witchniggers to get absolutely btfo by necromancer nerfs

well no shit, no changes are final
thats how a game thats constantly changing works my man
>b-but the new boss fight is ridiculously long for no reason
it's supposed to be the fight to end the shaper vs elder conflict of course it has to feel like a grand fight.
>new fated uniques arent that great
uniques arent supposed to be fantastic either but what they've shown so far have been definite improvements on where they were before. like the retard named mace is actually still a really dope leveling unique and scales well into maps.

I want to see every good build that I don't play nerfed into the ground

Was Heirophant even that changed? It's still a MoM/totem thing.

Redpill me on tectonic strike

GGG here, we heard your feedback about totemers and summoners being too weak and expensive in hardcore which is why we made sure to buff the related ascendancies so they can compete with melee builds

i know you're memeing but the game's seriously fucked at this point. i don't see GGG digging out of the hole its in unless it angles for a completely different playerbase. maybe a full-on pay2win approach or something, or they could try to poach from MOBAs by centering the game more on PvP. haha, who am i kidding, that'd never work, and chris wilson would never sacrifice his """ideals""" just to keep the game alive anyway.
yeah, i see it shutting down after 3.3 or 3.4.

Im excited for all the crab content

...

It's unreleased and it might be good or bad

someone join me in grumbling angrily about the dumb reddit crossposter

it's sunder with 50% phys to fire in the shape of a repeating crucifix

The main aoe is smaller but the crossbars will ensure at least similar coverage to sunder

they added insane power charge generation, added effects if youre affected by power surge, and split up added totems into two nodes and removed the drawbacks of using totems (used to be 7% per totem)
youre both retarded
no one but people on Veeky Forums is doomsaying
everyone but you retards like the changes

Well it got a pretty huge dmg increase so theres that.

>no one but people on Veeky Forums is doomsaying

leddit has been shitting on GGG since garbinger league

dead general
dead game
dead indie company that just had 2 more designers jump ship today
3.2 is the death knell for an already dying game

*cracks open a cold one*
aaaaaaaahh
so when is necro getting nerfed

yeah garbinger was awful but this league and the one coming up are good shit
arcane surge not power surge im retarded
big think my man

reddit dislikes anything that slows this shitshow down

there was nothing wrong with harbinger other than the unique map

that said, I like the changes so far

>Free elemental ailments immunity
>Free spell leech
There are more options now for non totem builds

why are you still here

>everyone but you retards like (sic) the changes
>I like the changes
you've done your job for the evening GGG shill. please ensure you've been compensated for tonight's work when you collect your last paycheck before you quit and your employer closes down this dead game for good.

>anyone who likes something i dislike is a shill
god just kill yourself now, it's obvious that you can't enjoy anything anymore

>there was nothing wrong with harbinger

currency shards?

spawn times? even post-tweak of the speeds?

overall the feel of the league being fucking awful, with no endgame content other than beachhead rotas?

garbinger was fucking awful, and before you say

>LE ONSLAUGHT LEAGUE HAHAHA I SURE SHOWED YOU WRONG BY POINTING OUT THAT A LEAGUE THAT APPEARED NEAR THE BEGINNING OF THE GAMES EXISTENCE WAS LIGHT ON CONTENT

just fucking remind yourself that you're supposed to learn from your mistakes, not repeat them

Dank. So chieftan for full conversion?

daily reminder not to be a disappointing fat fuck of a son who can't play one of the easiest, simplest right-click-spam-until-you-get-bored-and-uninstall arpgs known to man without dying

I wouldn't call 0.5% leech a build-enabling bonus

what is wrong with them then?

>letting anyone dictate what you play by some stupid dick measuring contest on a fucking video game
just play what you want user
only virgins give a fuck what anyone else plays

how can you fall for such obvious baits
unless this is some double level of ironic shitposting

>and the one coming up are good shit

The new league looks absolutely terrible. At best its essence league with a fuckload of extra steps to disrupt the flow of the game.

>tfw still didnt complete the challenges

>that spacing
>LE
go back

They buffed it but that's not really a big deal for an ascendancy rework. I guess it has arcane surge shenanigans now but feels whatever.

Who would recognize reddit spacing?

That's right, a redditor.

Cuff him, boys.

currency shards would be better if they changed them, but you can filter out the ones you don't like
>spawn times
they were only bad because people could insta clear the packs, another speed meta problem
>no endgame content
it came out with 3.0

dead game general

somehow i doubt it's just bait
dudes legit mad that everything doesnt acclimate itself to his playstyle
i think the new league looks interesting enough, albeit a little bit of a slowing of the meta but that's not inherently a bad thing.
the fantastic thing about that is you're able to do whatever the fuck you want and just avoid the league mechanics if you wish, there are still tons of other content that comes in with the new update.

it's called readability, every good writer uses line breaks

source: majored in creative writing

the only nice parts about harbinger where harbinger orbs and horizon orbs,because they made full atlas completions not garbage
unfortunately harb orbs also made endgame worthless

>reddit spacing is spacing out sentences
you first moron

>its not a big deal
it isn't until you realize it enables using hierophant at all, and the class is unique

dead general's game

...

>Chieftain cyclone looked good
>Now quad totem buffed
Its just going to get worse too going to be hard to choose a starter build this league.

yeah harbinger was pretty shit
the orbs were alright, but the main change to the game came out after harbinger

harbinger could be thought of as just a bridge league thats forgettable because the meat came after it

reduce the spawn rate to that of breaches and abyss cracks

then you've fixed them being too numerous and made them feel rewarding at the same time

but no, reddit complained so they threw the whole thing out

Essence didn't have league bosses, and you don't have to click on beasts, so at worst it isn't disruptive at all.

it's actually fucking fantastic because now every ascendancy is going to look like worth playing instead of just having to pick between like, inquisitor, berserker, slayer, raider/pf, or necro
to be fair user, horizon orbs were fucking retarded and tanked map prices down a fuckton as well as basically any drops from shaper/guardians

Its hard to find a better starter than totems and this new change gives more of a reason to play it and all the options for spell totems makes it seem like a solid and fun choice. Im not sure what can beat it.

I love you guys

>tfw you're hardcore
>tfw that means you're a better player than shitcrows

make them a bit rarer than divine vessels and they're fine

well obviously ssf hc player is better than shitcrow

delete that
balor is a good boy and doesn't deserve to be memed about

>Was going either Chieftan or Inquisitor
>See new Hierophant and Guardian

I love totems and I love the heiro buffs.

>Guardian
0 meaningful changes

Patch is gonna be shit but it's okay because they'll hype you up with slowmo zoom ins of characters attacking from angles we can't even play from with epic music playing

how much are you being paid by blizzard to keep shitposting about poe

What's so good about having 4 totems? Ideally you want to drop a totem, run, drop another, run, drop one that replaces the first but you're already 3 screens ahead. Having more totems past a point doesn't increase your peak clear speed, it's just better vs bosses.

i get paid in weeks of free world of warcraft subscription
i haven't played world of warcraft since closed beta, so i should have at least 300 years worth of free time now

ya that would be fine
would be nice for a lot of past leagues to have a 10% chance to spawn so every map feels a bit special and you dont really have those dead maps where you barely get anything for killing every mob, because the only special thing that spawned was a vanilla strongbox

the fact that the dead game poster is still at it 5 years later is probably the best compliment he can give to GGG

i don't remember precisely when closed beta of wow was, but it was at least 15 years ago
it takes dedication to shitpost about path of exile for so long

Lifting's Quad FB totem build. With the new hiero its going to have even more placement speed.

BV Assassin looking pretty strong rn

Don't reply to me if you know this league will be unfinished and boring.

Who here is ready for Scions throbbing piece of fuckmeat to be revealed?

still going to play it for 2 weeks because poe is the best arpg in the entire world

stop forcing your shit degenerate fetish

if not for the boss fighting i would completely ignore the league mechanic

you know this keystone that gives you +1 totem but comes with the drawback of losing EE because it's so powerful

yeah okay well you're gonna love this new templar ascendancy we came up with

why would you ignore some of the most overpowered crafting mechanics to be introduced to the game

because the league is like i've died and gone to vorici hell

live: poe players distraught over the idea of having to use yet another button, deem gameplay change "too stressful"

i will never use two buttons while playing this game

Hierophant

you dont use your main ability and your movement ability?

>using even one button
lmaoing rn

I play poe with my toes and a touchpad

5 frostbolt totems or 4 frostbolt totems and EE.

Heavy Strike like a man.

>playing anything besides blade flurry

>totems
aka the shitter's crutch to reach end game with 0 skill

4*1.5 = 6
plus time and mana saved on placement
5*1.0 = 5

>it was that easy

I might be retarded.

What's best assassin league starter if I want to switch to cospri's later?

caustic arrow

cospris will bladeflurry is back

WEW

We love you too.

Sounds like im gonna have to buy a frostbolt MTX lads

blade vortex*
;)

ah yes I too love to struggle to kill blue packs

I meant cospri's malice coc
