I'm using a tabula right now, I don't plan to replace it

" why don't you go to my thread in Gameplay Discussion, see I already did, and maybe even realize what a fun build this is, and how it can be even more fun when actually complete with a 6-link. we can argue all day about the advantage a 6-link gives vs. a less-than-6-link, but the truth is I'm not going to get into this discussion with you, right now. because I want to get you discussing the fact, if you want to successfully link 6 gems in a row - you're in for outright mental rape from RNG, and/or a trip to the marketplace for either a ridiculous amount for a certain master, or an equally-ridiculous amount of buyout "dollars" for another player. compare this, with the fact in other ARPGs you can maximize your skills, by just leveling them up. GGG got creative which is good. and then they shoved RNG up my ass here too, which is bad. Alva: I'm sweating like a hog in heat

Shouldn't this topic be moved to trading?
POE is a constantly evolving game, so expect balance changes, buffs and nerfs STILL!

" Online ARPGs? Good online ARPGs? You think every good online ARPG needs to copy the D2 formula to a tee? There is no standard for this genre besides D2, never mind 2 or 3 games to build a generalisation. Last edited by gorillajuice#6351 on Jan 10, 2015, 12:27:34 PM

Would anyone agree that if you need a 6-Link on your build that it is arguably a failed build?

" Never went much further than using 4Ls, at most a 5L here and there and i think i only ever felt the need for 1 6L. And i never used the white shirt. |

" assuming I actually know what "online ARPG" means - yes. and you forgot to quote "by leveling them up". them, your character, and usually both. and no, I don't think every ARPG should copy D2. I played many, many good games which fit the "RPG with leveling, loot and monsters" description, long before D2 existed. I played some which don't follow the D2 formula since. I played D2. GGG played D2, too. and used it as inspiration. and then they made a fucking brilliant system of skills as gems that can be linked, and a fkn huge tree of passives to support them. and then they fucking wrapped it all up in fucking RNG, and said "trade, or good luck". EDIT: @Manocean, I'm talking about finishing a build. finalizing it. getting the final skill setup. filling up all sockets in a 6-link because that's typically what you want to do with a skill in a game with items that have 6 sockets. max. out. P.S and completely off-topic: I liked your short bare-metal computer videos. Alva: I'm sweating like a hog in heat Shadow: That was fun Last edited by johnKeys#6083 on Jan 10, 2015, 12:40:31 PM

" They gave you a choice, thats all they did. They gave you the choice to use active gems and support gems and the option to combine them in anything from a 2 socket item to a 6 socket item. You dont need the 6L, you choose to use one. Remove one of the other gems if phys to lightning is so important. |
