Changed my mind again, INSANE chaos damage hurts Incursion experience a lot.

High damage spikes that we can't see coming (and thus can't defend against or kite from) whether chaos or any other element is not desired. If this is GGG's idea of "balance" to counter the speed-meta 1M+ dps builds then I want no part of it.

Hey GGG, go back to < 500K as the top DPS build (but only with T1 gear so most builds will be a lot less) and then you don't need to have uber damage spikes. The power/speed creep (now a race) has gotten way out of control and PoE has gone off the rails big time. Incursion league is the peak of speed freaking power builds and GGG has drunk the speed Kool-Aid so they're embracing it completely.

Unfortunately (but true) now that Tencent is breathing down GGG's neck to show bigger profits their forced to cave to this. If PoE morphing into SPoE garners GGG more players and more players = more mtx = more revenue for Tencent then GGG has thrown in the towel and succumbed to corporate greed. We (all players that liked the slower paced harder/scarier PoE) all lose a lot of the reason we loved to play since CB times. I know, I know, you can never go back once you have drunk the speed/power Kool-Aid and corporate bottom line is all that matters (sic).


GD this hyperbole about Tencent is getting tiresome. I don't care much one way or the other what GGG did with the game, but there are posts like this speckled throughout EVERY damn post.

I suppose everyone needs a scapegoat, but stick with facts, citation needed, etc etc etc.

Also, Arrowneous, you need a new game, because everything you post is negative. For months. You haven't had a single good thing to say about the game for so long, how can you possibly be still playing? From unplayability due to lag to league design to conspiracy theories of GGG selling out to corporate greed instantly destroying the game.

The "rippy" rooms with plants/traps etc when upgraded to T3 drop new unique items(from architect).
If you had negative fire resist on your char would you make a post complaining about the league being shit because youre taking a load of fire damage ?

Yo, dawg. I heard you like yourslelf some BIG SPIKY CHAOS DAMAGE OUT OF FUCKING NOWHERE. So we added shitton of chaos damage to your Incursions and Temple. <3 Enjoy :3

I can't enjoy Incursion anymore until I get higher chaos resistance. Another bother :/



Where is this crazy dmg? 2xtoons in maps -60% chaos resi and havent really noticed any crazy spikes.


This happens when you have a room called "poison gardens". It gives chaos damage to all mobs in the whole temple. You might also have the rooms that increase crits or overall damage... or all sorts of other combinations. The rooms modify the entire temple, and you can create a world of hurt for yourself if you don't pay attention to what rooms your temple will have.

You can change rooms. You can upgrade rooms. You can open doors. You get to control your own destiny in this league. It's all your own fault if you create something that kills you.

I love it.

Packs of blue constructs are brutal on -60 chaos res. Perhaps you’re running spell block or spell dodge? That helps a lot with them. So does having a permanent atziri flask up which is how I handle it.
My kiwi pet will be very lonely without me. Also, I can't get Lilly to take me anywhere except Wraeclast or Orioth (like she only runs a ferry service between the 2 islands).

Hey I am making progress. I isolated my super laggy play on a problem between my primary Internet backbone Qwest and Hardlayer at their exchange point in Atlanta. Switched over to my Comcast backup link and the data hand off is in Miami and guess what. None to very minimum lag. At least play is much smoother. I can't blame this on server overload on the WDC realm.

Necessity may be the mother of invention, but poor QoP in PoE is the father of frustration.

Only time will tell if Tencent will be happy with 80% of profits or will influece/pressure GGG to make changes just for the sake of higher revenue.

Getting back on topic, I've always hated that chaos is treated very differently, especially when it bypasses my energy shield.

I know someone using Slayer. The overleech and HP seems to help them survive the little flower pots from hell. I am running a Juggernaught with -36 chaos. Ripd so hard and fast.
