Breachstone Gauntlet is too tight of a timer for slow clear classes
|
I am a summoner infernalist and do my best to speed to the end while killing every mob on the way, I just did t4 breach and failed the gauntlet TWO times in a row.
2 breach stones gone and deleted because literally only ONE ELITE showed up for the entire gauntlet, and that's the only way to really add time to the timer afaik. I didn't just run past to the end either, I tried to keep ahead of the mobs but was killing as much as I could to try and hold the timer as best I can. This seems like it is overtuned because I am in pretty good gear and can easily clear t18 breach non-stop but I can't make it through a dam gauntlet of easy mobs.. Killing the mobs isnt the problem, it's making it to the end before the stupid timer reaches zero. I guess I should probably just give up on breachstone boss at t4 considering I cant even make it to him. EDIT; I cleared the gauntlet on the 3rd try , It seems that the amount of elites that spawn is completely random which should not be a thing. On the 3rd attempt I got like 3 elites which made the timer much easier than the first 2 times which I only got 1 single elite in both tries. HOWA dropped Last edited by smokesnugsYT#7752 on Jan 10, 2025, 5:05:18 AM Last bumped on Jan 13, 2025, 5:46:08 PM

Every mechanic here is build around fast clear, screens beyond, like in PoE1. Completely different pacing than campaign :( Summoner especially suffers, because of bad minions AI.

Nope, I could run all the way almost to the end. Pathfinder with "Shattering concoction" instant-killing everything on the way, then just run out of time. Nonsense...

You can fix bad clear on any build with better gear, you cant fix constantly despawning minions and terrible pathing/ai with gear.
It just sucks ass for minions, no amount of gear is gonna fix that. |

GGG doesn't want to learn, or they are afraid of upsetting the streamers, and no lifers.
Almost all mechanics in POE 1 rely on speed and timers, and ofc they had to bring some of them over. Streamers, "ellite e-peen" gamers, and basement dwellers all love this kind of stuff. I was truly hoping for POE 2 to go in a 180 direction...sadly it'll be for campaign only; end game will be the same crack fueled speed of POE 1. If you can't do it, tough luck, copy a build (because GGG can't be bothered to change). |

" ^ quite possibly. its still EA, but it just seems like things are so deep routed at this point i don't see path of exile slowing down it was a great feeling during fresh start campaign. but it was all short lived. few weeks after and everything is getting one shot or being one shot all over again. clutter, no vision, speed speed zoom zoom with so many mechanics and interactions i just don't know if it can be dialed in. |
