this game needs to be more casual

Not talking about flasks... talking about how moving makes a difference. Not a big fan of the high end flasks, but also don't have much experience with them. SSF makes them kind of rare.

No, what it had was Full Rejuv Potions that auto-maxed your HP on a single click.

It also had builds that could 1-button clear everything in the game so effectively that people botted them. If that was your definition of fun, I don't want any of it.

ancestral warchief, vaal pact right click builds. Seriously, gtfo with the bs.

The problem? You've got to be kidding. That's why we're still here after 5+ years and people quit playing Torchlight 2 in about a month.

You think the people here play this game still afer 5 years because of the flasks? WTF are you smoking? The flask system being so overpowered is the stupidest thing in this game. People play because at its core its a fun game which fits a genre a great percentage of people LOVE. I played D2 for 5 years or longer and it had no stupid flask system, the game was fun, this one can be fun also, but is alot more head banging stress due to bad gaming design like certain flask use being required for some endgame content.

Flask system in D2: Fill Arreat Summit with potions, piano flasks during encounter, win :) Also had stackable IMMUNITY flasks, extending duration to several minutes.

D2 had instant leech also... No one remembers proccing Life Tap on your Dracs in uber Trist? D2 has just as many broken mechanics...

stop following others like a sheep. and start building your own build.

my main is squishy. my main is low HP. yeah i die ALOT. but FUCK if i dont keep on going with my build. the way I want to play.

following someone elses build makeing it how someone else made it. does not mean its going to work for you. you have to make your own play style your own builds. your own mistakes.

yeah some of theses guys that have theses build posted on the forum know what there talking about. BUT not every ones play style is like theres. not every ones going to be able to use there builds as perfectly as thay them selfs do. in the end its not going to work out for you if your trying to copy someone else.

in the long run you need to start over. forget what you have read and done and seen on the forums. forget all the " meta " builds out there. forget all of that.

start from scratch. think of what the class you want to make is going to need. if its a face tank tank class think of the stats that you will need to make that class so.

if its a cheeky speedy ranger build. think of what it needs.

if its a witch that can tank a chaos shot from anything think of what she will need.

ECT

each class in this game has the means to be more powerfull then anything people are forming on the forums. its just a matter of finding what you need building it how you think thay should be. and makeing it your own.

^This guy gets it. People fail miserably because they just copy whatever they see someone else doing with no understanding of the thought process that goes into it, then of course it's never their fault THE BLAME MUST LIE ELSEWHERE!

Spoiler

this is gonna be a caps lock thread with horrible grammar because im fucking triggered.

NO MATTER HOW HARD I FUCKING TRY AND I HAVE BEEN TRYING FOR AGES TO GET A GOOD BUILD GOING AND IT DOESN'T WORK, I KEEP FOLLOWING GUIDES AND I FOLLOW THEM EXACTLY AS IT SAYS. I TAKE THE EXACT SAME NODES, I HAVE THE EXACT SAME UNIQUES, I HAVE OVER 150% IN TOTAL RESIST AND YET I FUCKING DIE, I FUCKING DIE OVER AND OVER AGAIN TO THE SMALLEST FUCKING THING.

I CAN NEVER ACHIEVE EVEN CLOSE TO WHAT EVERY FUCKING GUIDE IS PROMISING YOU.

HERP A DERP EZ CLEAR ALL CONTENT MY FUCKING ASS.

I AM SO FUCKING TRIGGERED,I HAVE TRIED FOR ALMOST 4 YEARS AND NOTHING WORKS I CAN EASILY DO TIER 1-TIER 9 MAPS ANYTHING ABOVE JUST FUCKING NUKES ME INTO OBLIVION.

IF IM TANKY I DO 0 DAMAGE IF I DO DAMAGE I DIE INSTANTLY. THERE IS NO FUCKING MIDDLEGROUND
ARMOR DOES FUCKING NOTHING, EVASION DOES FUCKING NOTHING, RESIST DOES FUCKING NOTHING I STILL GET NUKED BY THOSE FUCKING FIREBALLS THATS FLIES AND STICKS ON TO YOU LIKE GLUE WHEN CERTAIN ENEMIES DIES, LIFE DOES NOTHING EVEN WITH 4.6K HP I STILL GET ONE SHOTTED RANDOMLY.

I CANNOT DO BOSSES BECAUSE THEIR HEALTH IS TOO FUCKING HIGH. THIS GAME IS SHIT. I AM TRYING SO FUCKING HARD.

FUCKING HELL.

TL;DR

VETERAN PLAYER IS TRIGGERED AS FUCK

You're no "veteran" player, lol. Game is not "shit", your skills are, especially if you can't do above tier 9, lol.

Oh and...

you say (this game needs to be more casual)
1- but you play over 15 character in this league Oo sure you will always die high level because all your currency are in your 15 character Oo try to have 1 or 2 character having nice item
2- if you want this more casual play standard

takecare :)

No it doesn't.

The issue I'm stuck at right now is that I have maybe 1h a night to play. I just started a family and I have pretty much zero time now.

I played SSF last league and did meh. Now that things have settled, I found myself with a spare hour here and there. I logged onto just the standard league with a level 70 character that I had made awhile ago. Read up on a few builds, bought an item or two on poe.trade, and started playing. I'm getting destroyed. In the last league, I went with a CI summoner build with Necromantic Aegis. Fun build. Cleared to 13s I think. Was fine with that. I tried doing the same with the level 70 I already had. I have 2500 ES, minions are doing shit damage, and I'm getting wrecked. Not sure what happened there.

Iunno. I may just start with a new character and build from there. I just need a simple cookie cutter build. No frills or weird playstyles. Something I can log on once kiddo is asleep, run a map or two, and call it a night.
