General Discussion - what is Insanity in POE? - Forum

" diablofdb wrote: "More insanity effects have been added." was reading the patch note and saw a few lines about insanity? what is it? what mechanic is that? It is a mechanic that debuffs your character in certain places/zones. The more you stay there, the more you get debuffed. Some elements/bosses/mobs increase the debuff.

As a fishing debuff, it was well received. Hopefully the little glitches have been worked out, so you no longer have to take a skill gem out of an item to regain control.

Insanity is when you run lab. If insanity stacks it means we will do lab inside a lab.	Posted by herflik on Jul 20, 2016, 12:54:13 AM Quote this Post

Adding stuff to the game and telling no one about it so a few people can feel clever when they stumble on it... Whatever floats your boat. :-)	Posted by GeorgAnatoly on Jul 20, 2016, 1:27:16 AM Quote this Post

I get it, think it's stupid but I get it. Really just shows my age. To me a good puzzle is a crossword puzzle or a mathematics/logic based puzzle. Something like this seems so arbitrary it's borderline asinine lol. Anywho, carry on. :)	Posted by GeorgAnatoly on Jul 20, 2016, 1:44:37 AM Quote this Post

Insanity appear when your characters get so many buffs that icons of it spawn in off screen That is why no one ever seen insanity. It also give so small bonus that no one ever could feel it. "Is there such a thing as an absolute, timeless enemy? There is no such thing, and never has been. And the reason is that our enemies are human beings like us. They can only be our enemies in relative terms." Last edited by kamil1210 on Jul 20, 2016, 2:50:26 AM	Posted by kamil1210 on Jul 20, 2016, 2:49:14 AM Quote this Post

Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results = Insanity. Makes sense...
