Feedback and Suggestions (Path of Exile 1) - Poe's act content needs to be dramatically rebalanced - Forum

I said within 5 hours though, not ~5 hours. I think that it was closer to 4 than 5, but I don't remember that well. Arc traps are broken OP and have been for a while, that is no news. I don't know about bows, I just saw him do it with sunder. SSF is not and will never be a standard for balance, it is not for people entitled to getting more without trading.

I was only using "master of the arena" to increase the range. It felt quite smooth, movement speed is important to spin everywhere. Want me to capture a small video of it ?

Ok OP, you win. I was already thinking about Tempest T-Shot Deadeye as a league starter for Syndicate (patch notes pending, ofc) so I figured I'd kill two birds with one stone and test 'er out. TLDR: bows are fine, because ofc they are. Spoiler I got to BA in 4:05, still using a Roth Reach I dropped along the way. Split Arrow for clear with AddCold, AddLight, and AttackEleDamage, swap in barrage to absolutely vaporize major bosses (Brine King literally couldn't attack before getting knocked into the next storm call phase). I farmed BA until I self-funded a Tabula with Humility cards (around lvl 66), then finished A9 and A10. Total time was about 5:15 which included normal and cruel labs, only 1 death along the way (to A3 General Grevicius of all things, lulwhut). So... yeah. I think you just need to learn how to properly scale attack damage while leveling (protip: flat damage on everything and don't build any crit).

Thanks for the insight and tutorial on character progression. Preferably I would like to do it without ideal rng drops, trading for gems/gear early on, or using excessive amounts of trans/alch of orbs I might not have at the start of a league. If racers could do the same thing, they would have even faster than 3:10 hour a10 clear times.

I'm not sure about a bow ranger. Well that is not too far off from my run time of 5:30 but I was obviously not doing it on HC.

It's not act content that's unbalanced, it's skills. You can change anything you want in the content part, but Storm Brand will still level much easier than random melee skill or random ranged attack, no? 177	Posted by toyotatundra#0800 on Feb 25, 2019, 2:24:00 AM Quote this Post
