Feedback and Suggestions (Path of Exile 1) - 6-Linking - just another RNG factor towards gear progression - Forum

" Stormswa wrote: " Teigo wrote: My main Point is, that Gear progression is gated behind rng. Sure, 5Liter Gaming is a theme right now but a 6 Link is still a Gear progression. One mentioned in every Guide ever as an upgrade point. And not "the last step is the 6 Link". Cause 6 Links in itself arent rare at all. The amount of non-specific 6 Links is massiv. BUT If you want to upgrade YOUR OWN GEAR eg a crafted Chest that you made yourself (double trouble in SSF allready). You gonna hit that RNG Wall of Fusings. Lighty is at 10k Fusings on a Brassdome if im not mistaken atm. Im not complaining I didnt get my 6 Link within 1k. At least that wasnt the point I wanted to get across. But still, at the current Pricerange, 4+ Exa and only a lucky 6l at the absolut end - I call that bad RNG. When buying a 6 Link is almost always way cheaper than crafting one yourself EXCEPT rngesus blesses you kiiiiinda sucks. 6l Prophecy is around 5.5 Ex. Kinda expensive Upgrade only because you want/need it on a specific piece of gear instead of a randome one. TL;DR I really really dislike the emphasis on RNG in crafting in PoE. Especially cause it can btfk you real hard sometimes. And not in a good way... If you are at 10k fusing with no 6 link then you are a moron for not going to bench. Its simple if you dont want to gamble go to the bench if you want to try it yourself and keep in mind that all that stuff used to not be here and we were fine trying to 6 link ourselves. There is no build where 6link is manditory to run it, the 6th link in every build is just more damage. We are all aware of that. At some point its becoming more of a "breaking the curse" then wanting the 6 Link (or craft etc). And the game has changed since it started. As I started in legacy, a 5 Link was absolut fine. Nowadays a 6 Link is kinda needed as soon as the build gets a bit on the experimental side. At least when one goes for endgame. And again, the gamble aspect is exactly what I dont like about the game. Even when I would be lucky 100%. I wouldnt complain in the Forum, sure. But seeing the bad luck of others posted would made me side against rng as well. At least I hope it would lol I dont want to argue against you here. Its just the fact that the more damage from the 6 Link can be as easily reached as in 1 Fusing = 6 Link or in "fuck it ive spent enough in gambling, time to buy it for even more money". Or losing all money to spent in the gambling process when you cant stop yourself early enough. It just feels outdated in so many ways in the current PoE time to "craft" this way. The Gamble aspect of Vaaling eg is 100% awesome. THATS rewarding gambling I like! " yamface wrote: ... what is harvest going to do about the 6 link problem? How many 6 link crafts did you find in harvest? Most people's answer is 0. The rng isn't that bad for 6 links, I'm saying this as a ssf player. The thing that sucks about 6 linking is that you pretty much end up breaking your 5 link if you didn't 6 link it. The answer is in your post =) In Harvest I always had a 5 Link saved when trying for a 6 Link. ^^ Last edited by Teigo#1907 on Oct 12, 2020, 2:02:29 AM	Posted by Teigo#1907 on Oct 12, 2020, 2:01:19 AM Quote this Post
gonna have to disagree with that this is my current armour im lvl 91 and basically doing endgame now. Damage is not the issue for my build at all, bosses insta die on a 5 link and I can do this on basically any build the 6th link does not add that much and not needed for endgame.

And Minionbuilds, especially Golem Build are not really experimental at all. Im not sure what you are actually disagreeing with me on right now. =/	Posted by Teigo#1907 on Oct 12, 2020, 3:30:18 AM Quote this Post
