...and where did I blow up? I will correct myself if I do something wrong but I'll do the same for you before you do it.

here

Doryani's Invitation, List of unique belts, Hideout, Heavy Belt, Vessel of Vinktar...

None of them are a separate page for style variant. There's no global style variant that can simply be plugged into something else.

You're getting off the point.

it is not incinirate, i wonder how you would imagine a "charged" shot be like... barrage?

Whether it's a barrage of increasingly damaging projectiles, like Incinerate, or charging up for a sudden large hit, like Flameblast, the end result is the same. You stand still and do one thing.

To me, there is only one difference between something like Incinerate and something like Flameblast. One can kill you on reflect, one can kill you on thorns. I'd much rather die to thorns, since it ain't never around.

meh, people who dont want diversed gameplay

I'm all for breaking the one-skill build routine. But something that works for Overwatch most likely won't work here.

But right now, there is absolutely no reason to group up unless your character is weak. And even then, you'll likely die.

If parties are going to be part of the game, one of two things needs to happen:

1. Everyone's DPS needs to be important. This cannot happen while we have builds that can kill bosses in less than a second. No, I don't mean DPS needs to be equalized, I mean DPS needs to be important. Players each individually need to worry about their character and getting their DPS on the enemy. Some things, like skeletons, can be summoned by other players to give someone else some respite from, say, a hostile projectile. Everyone is the same.

2. Everyone has a designation. Tanks tank, DPSers DPS, and healers heal. The problem with this is that tanks cannot play unless healers and DPS are present. This makes partying the ONLY option, and that can be bad for the game given how loot works. This would cause the game to progress down MMO lines that end up tearing people apart.

As I said before, some things from D3 won't work here. But I know for a fact that the separate loot we have in D3 would work wonders for helping party play in PoE. Why? Because you focus on keeping yourself and your allies alive to ensure your loot gets in your bag. Right now, it's fend for yourself and nab that shit before someone else does, or just ensure you don't die and the other does so he leaves the area, so his permanently allocated loot can be stolen by someone else.

good thing in 2.4 GGG has already plans for CoCks, although that vagan dagger is already proven to be good alternative without having to invest in STR

CoCks? Or do you mean CoCs?

CoC should be nerfed.

a) CI is the problem (is too strong) not the life (life is OK)

b) tanking untankable damage from mobs in a map PLAYER rolled TOO HARD is stupid idea - noone forces anyone to do that. map mods are to be rerolled when deemed too hard. telegraphs are to be avoided.

c) entire issue we have now is a clusterfuck of following components:

- players EXPECT to be able to tank everything and complete every content
- players get used to cushion auto-play gameplay (mapping) and get crushed when they - with the same state of mind - approach stuff that is actually strong. the more cookie cutter FOTM OPIEOP build - the stronger the effect of 'oh sh.. this thing can fight back! unfair!!'
- players in HC (and in SC as well but to a smaller extent) are used to alt-f4 chicken 'spell'
- GGG balances this game around this BS

- this 'balance' == spike damage. this is the ONLY thing that can kill CI + instant leech Sponge builds
- these spikes kill life builds (however only few of these are unavoidable as in non-telegraphed)

the issue is CI + instant leech forcing developers to design BS damage spikes. and out of these two the real issue is INSTANT LEECH

this mechanic bypasses every freaking design foundation this game is built on. remove it. tone damage spikes down. problem solved

one thing keeps ENTIRE game hostage. changing things around WILL NOT solve a damn thing

PS. CI without instant leech is 100% viable. been there done that.

-reworked the drawback of the Adequacy unique item suggestion
-Flicker Strike (a visually appealing suggestion)
