General Discussion - Hardest most time consuming game of all time - Forum

PoB warrior with standard gear 100%. Someone's too afraid to actually drop the PoB to avoid scrutiny. The opposite of knowledge is not illiteracy, but the illusion of knowledge.	Posted by ArtCrusade on Oct 30, 2023, 7:41:56 PM On Probation Quote this Post

Meanwhile 10x arrows wholescreen 1000km away clearspeed with 306% movement speed. Don't worry, the build is legit, nothing suspicious. Source ; trust me bro.

Stop watching videos of people with builds blowing up endgame bosses and actually watch videos of people doing the content with normal builds actually showing all the mechanics. Almost any build in the game can be made to complete all the content in the game DPS simply makes this achievement easier/harder is all. But, even builds with really amazing damage if you do not understand the mechanics can still be a challenge eating up most portals. Most of the endgame bosses are just a matter of patience and positioning and nothing more. Check out Alkizer's video he done a while back showing doing all the uber bosses with beyond lackluster DPS but, at least focused on defenses and mechanics management. He even explains all the things you need to look out for and how to manage them in order to do all the fights with no DPS. Just make sure your ready for 15-20+ Minute fights. But all the information he gives makes it possible for just about anyone to replicate what he does if they just listen and pay attention to the mechanics of the fights. Something I personally done especially when new fights were added that helped me the most was running just about any build that works with Juggernaut. RF especially since you can get more than enough defenses to give you plenty of room for mistakes and ways to correct them as you learn. This will help a lot on other builds that mistakes become one shots even with multiple times more damage to get the job done. Making it much easier to know what you can and can not allow to hit you in each fight and how to best avoid them. Eventually you will get to the point you can run high DPS builds and have success because you still most of the time will have to avoid mechanics anyway unless you invest mirrors into a build which I never have done. It's also worth noting on that point that learning how to allocate currency and farm first is probably the most important part to achieving besting all the content in the game since currency=power in this game. The more currency you can farm the better your character will be and thus the easier endgame content will be. I don't watch videos, I don't watch streamers. I don't know what an Alkaiser is...... I play solo self found, sometimes HC trade. I look at poe ninja and poe racing sometimes. My point is, i don't have time for this shit and yes I am well aware I could make the game easier but I would get no joy in that. I think I just need a long break, the only boss I haven't killed is Maven and ubers. Uber elder wasn't that bad. SC trade is just in my opinion a toxic environment, and I feel it's way too easy at that point. Where as HC is way too hard. SSF SC is likely where I will play if I ever pick this game up again. It's too time consuming this game and at the end of the day it's a waste of life in my opinion. Wasted 3000 hours on this game already, it's kind of embarrassing at that point I'm not proud of the amount of time I played POE for. Time for me to let it go, at least for a good long while it's to addicting. Last edited by Jradlot21 on Nov 1, 2023, 12:05:37 PM	Posted by Jradlot21 on Nov 1, 2023, 12:02:58 PM Quote this Post

Yeah, agreed. HC is ultra easy. Just... don't die. Problem solved. Same as SC.	Posted by cursorTarget on Nov 1, 2023, 2:57:27 PM Quote this Post
