Ah I see. Was just curious, since its a hell a lot of damage needed to be tanked lol.

It can be done, but that character isn't built for that. I don't have Fortify and % reduced Damage taken, etc. Can't always have everything. On a Slayer or Jugg, for instance, it could probably be done on a Life build with Petrified Blood, I guess. So far, I've only seen ES builds do it.

Yeah I know it can be done saw it few times even on a Life based build. I think Ben tanked it few times with his Champion SRS but could be wrong on this. Also not sure if it was post Vaal Molten Shell nerf or not.

But you need a lot of defensive investment doe.

I suppose I need to just "embrace the content I CAN do." But that just feels so wrong to me... It's weird for a game to make ALL this content, and INTENTIONALLY design the game so that most builds have to pick & choose which of these content areas they will be able to do.

but you did all the content they designed. they designed breachstones and you were able to access and beat them all. the uber version is not new content they designed, its the same content with the numbers turned up for people who have builds with higher numbers.

its not weird, it makes perfect sense in a game where different builds have different power levels. how powerful your build is isnt up to the devs, its up to you, thats a knowledge factor for the player. they didnt tell you to make the choices you made, thats your responsibility, you are the player.

YOU LOSE. YOU GET NOTHING. GOOD DAY.

Early Access does not = ALPHA. EA is being able to access a finished game early. HUGE difference. Now, do I think some of the complaints are a little much? Certainly. But this game isn't in ALPHA. At all.

legend has it that shadyc is still trying to get past the veritania fight on his coc cyclone build...

Whoa. Blast from the past. Legend has it you still save everything I do on a notepad, I guess. Stalk harder, but thanks for being a fan!!

Lemme know when you stick your own neck out there by uploading a public video of yourself. But you would never do that, would you? Life is better when you throw stones from the safety of the crowd.

Get out of here, lmao.

yeah EA is an alpha stage essentially, that is steams official definition of it and should be the correct definition for the industry.




giving people an option to pay a premium to get access to a finished game a week before the people paying the normal price is just a dick move used by scumlord devs to extort more money from their players. thats not what an EA should be.




this game stops being a finished product at the end of act3, which is probably about 3 hours into the hopefully 100+ hour journey of your character. thats pretty far from feature complete. i think saying we have about 1/3 of the finished game in front of us is probably being charitable if anything. this thing is a hot mess and i dont think it will be ready much before christmas.

And yet that is what a lot of companies do these days, and has become an industry standard for PC games. POE2 is far from a true Alpha. I guess we will have to agree to disagree. Good day.

Things being, becoming, or fading away as a standard have nothing to do with definitions or what's morally just vs corrupt.

That is roughly what you need: https://pobb.in/Q2gvaiYGKjfj

Ancestral Cry + Loreweave + a ton of Armour and ES, and self-cast Immortal Call.

Edit: Shit, I forgot to add in Enduring Cry for charge generation.

It's a lot harder to do with a Life build because ES can reach higher flat eHP. The above setup isn't actually that hard to reach, except for the Armour part.

Since I´m bored atm and we got still a lot more time of 3.25 I will probably finish crafting my items for my trickster and then go try to make my Slayer tankier to maybe tank one of those uber maven games :P

This is such an empty argument. It's a reskin of POE with larger more annoying maps, no movement speed, and no crafting by the company that made the best ARPG ever. They ought to be able to make sure something is worth $35 before launching XD.
