Announcements - What happens when Closed Beta starts tomorrow? - Forum

I really like automatic defenses from AA / MOM / CWDT / auras / gear. The alternative would be to devote one or more of the few available action keys / mouse buttons to short term defensive buffs and to keep pressing them over and over and over. But, with all the nerfs to automatic defenses, running around with one or more short term warcries or other defensive buffs might be needed to keep survivability at an acceptable level. If that's the case, then 2.0 may disappoint quite a few players, and not just me. If over-max resistances will be toned down, then hopefully mob elemental damage will also be toned down by quite a bit. Now that prestige classes will finally leave lab in 4.0, will GGG get it right this time or will they find new ways to repeat old mistakes?

What I do think this means is that players will be forced to consider their defenses more, and probably have to have a skill for mobs and another for single target (which makes sense). They probably wont be answered (or may have already been asked) but I have a few doubts: - Does tornado shot still 'shotgun'? - Will LMP/GMP be reworked as they would be too penalising, especially gmp? I understand that GGG want to make the 'standard' game more challenging (and I can understand that's where most players are), but hc seems like its going to be HARDCOREEEEEE! (death of CWDT and above, crit changes etc). I'm not sure if I'm motivated or worried but given how much I enjoyed Invasion even in the first weeks its probably the former :D (as for those complaining their builds are losing dps and even want compensation consider that your dps was probably excessive for a reason and a game needs to stay fresh to survive. Embrace the changes!) 1. Can you do LL with eb-mom-aa? Can you have over 10000 life? CoD is broken but shavs is ok? 2. How will caster templar compete with witch given that all the goodies are now so far away? 3. Tornado dps is ok? What we have seen so is not the whole picture BUT it seems to limit your choices not create more. How about having 2 key stones the old one and a new one?

" All projectiles now behave like arrows. Multiple projectiles emitted at exactly the same time can no longer hit the same target. Their area of effect damage can still overlap, dealing damage to the same target multiple times.

I think alot of the nerfs wont really do anything most of the builds that are getting direct nerfs are already overkilling everything on the screen you have way more damage than needed so even with nerf should work just fine.	Posted by Ferrari420#4197 on Apr 20, 2015, 10:25:56 AM Quote this Post
I really hope "Scarier Enemies" also means "Better Rewards".	Posted by BurakUeda#0565 on Apr 20, 2015, 10:30:21 AM Quote this Post
What do you mean projectiles can only hit a character once, but the AoEs can damage them multiple times? That makes little to no sense. How does this work with incinerate, or FP? Tornado shot isn't even close to viable without greater multiple projectiles.

Incinerate and freezing pulse doesn't have an AoE part, so they won't be able to hit a target multiple times. A skill like fireball have an AoE part, that part will be able to all targets. RIP incinerate and FP.	Posted by patlefort3#5021 on Apr 20, 2015, 10:35:20 AM Quote this Post

Also Please increase the drop rate of currency orbs. Auction House is flipper-paradise and a cancer for the economy, but that's just my opinion. Currency drops are rare, especially exalts, but that doesn't mean they need a buff. An increased drop rate means chaos recipe is worth less, and the items just cost more. You say that as though PoE doesn't ALREADY have an AH... It does, and GGG supports it. It's just wannabe "It's not Diablo 3!" babies don't want it to actually be in the game...instead to be an out of game function that is required for progression.
