General Discussion - Who else is not going to play PoE anymore because of the lab? - Forum

" Guzonjinsin wrote: Relatively new player here, start playing in Perandus league. So far i really like this game, remindes me of good old days in D2. I don't like lab, mostly because of damn traps and levers. It's doable, but it's not fun. Unless you roll right class for the lab (but i didn't know that back then). Last league i really struggled with my toons (think i died like ten times with my CI toon), but eventually i made it through, and got my ascendancy points. This league i rolled again CI toon, and all in all died like four times due to three screens of traps and levers. Again, it's doable, but it's not fun at all. Then i saw some youtube videos featuring Marauder Juggernaut as labrunner. I was amased. That guy, with gear worth 2-3 exalts, literally charged through three screens of sawblades and spinning blades... Fuck that, i am rolling one Juggernaut to be my "Mazerunner". Is this supposed to work like this? We roll class which we enjoy playing, and beside that, roll one "mazerunner" to farm enchants and other good gear from chests? Actually fastest lab runners are rangers by a long shot. https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1689240 But yeah juggs is OP too. Key to lab is high speed or high phys mitigation with massive life regen. Ranger and Marauder beat all in those departments. CI is terrible. I've been kilt with 15K ES in merciless lab lol Git R Dun!

So if you aren't going to play POE because of the lab what are you going to play? Sure I play Arma 3, Heroes of Newerth and Killer Instinct and SF3 Third Strike but mainly I play POE if I want to play an ARPG. Also labs are easy if you have the right build. I can kill Ubber Izaro in 5 seconds maybe less. You dont have right build yet hommie. haha. Take him to next level with build in sig. Most DPS and most defense. Git R Dun!

Just the fact that ppl have made builds just to complete and farm lab shows how broken and horrible the lab is.	Posted by Prebornfetus#2771 on Jun 27, 2016, 8:18:21 PM Quote this Post

Why would you want to farm it anyway? Buy the enchants you need, be set for life, never have to touch it again in this league.	Posted by Johny_Snow#4778 on Jun 28, 2016, 2:52:46 AM Quote this Post

Lawdy lawdy people make farming builds lawdy the sky is falling. he does have a point and you know it to be true , no1 likes to run lab on a squisy char because its unreliable and dumb when you can just faceroll it and ignore 10000000% of the mechanics due to proper gear and tree (mostly the lifereg and armor/eva) so yes the sky is indeed falling - the ammount of views of this thread shows that. i did chuckle at your comment though. sure iz fallin massa	Posted by Kechop#5316 on Jun 28, 2016, 2:56:43 AM Quote this Post

I want rifts. Hard fun bosses like fantastic atziri & crew which kept me pretty exited to test any build on her for like a year. Somethings else besides uninspiring new content (act 4/lab) and loot pinatas every ladder. Then I'll stop the NaCl. Only great move was ascendancy in like last year IMO. And even that is tied to lab and made us so OP without adjusting content HP. Git R Dun!
