Legion is fun. Headhunter being mandatory to run Embles is NOT.
" No one is saying you need a HH to suceed in POE, nice strawman. The problem is HH is such a over the top power magnifier in the Timeless Conflict fight, which is unusually configured among boss fights in POE in both a) It has respawning rare mobs to feed HH buffs, and b) It grants more rewards the better your clear speed (vs traditional bosses like Uber Elder which drops static rewards no matter how fast you can kill it), means that doing the Top end League Mechanic is only economically viable if you have a HH. Now, Clearing 4 & 5 army timeless conflict is just a very small portion of the overall content in POE, so yeah, equating the ability to do it without eating a huge net loss of resources with the ability to 'suceed in poe' overall is foolish. There is plenty of other content you can suceed in without a HH. But that doesn't mean locking the ability to enjoy the pinacle content of the Challenge League behind a 100ex item was a remotely good idea. |

HH is way overpriceed this league, no way your going to make 100ex in investment back, unless your in your mum's basement playing 12 hours a day.

" That's common misconception. You are not just throwing exalts away when you buy Headhunter, you still have item worth that much. |
|
" BINGO! When you're done farming the 5-way, sell the frickin HH. If you buy a HH,and loot 1 portal scroll, you've made a profit because you can always sell the HH. |

" shame on the mods? i mean buying from external sources outside the game isnt allowed be it on ebay or anywhere else. i think the modz did a great job ; next best thing they could do is witchhunt that ebay poster and perma ban his account ;) Last edited by teksuoPOE#2987 on Jun 24, 2019, 10:09:00 AM

It does bring more currency return but you can do well without it.
As long as you get currency to have fun and play the builds you want, should it really matter to sit a 100+ exalt just for the sake of it ? Last edited by Shaade#4176 on Jun 24, 2019, 10:57:13 AM

This thread can be summed by pretty much one sentence.
"People that spend 100 ex on an item are doing league mechanic faster than my 5 ex (6L included) build! REEEEE" |
|
" That's not it. It about league mechanic (and really it's only about the 5ways) rewards not being capped and even encouraged by clear speed. | |
|
League mechanic that encourages clear speed? Oh boi, we haven't had those for a long time, am I right?
(last league that WASN'T encouraging clear speed was Bestiary) |

" If I made any fallacy it would be more of a broad generalization rather than a straw man. Perhaps even an ad hominem with the “get good” implication. With the principle of charity you could have assumed I was talking success in the specific encounter to OP mentioned... yet you chose to use the least charitable interpretation to further your narrative. My point still stands, which was a dickish way of sayin, only bad players NEED overpowered items. |
