Came back after a year or so... And this became even bigger clusterfuck :/

The acts feel better IMO, it got shorter and more user friendly. Well thats what I though at first, maybe because I was playing range instead of melee... And boy what difference it is, I was able to complete all acts with 1k health and no full resistances on... Imagine that on melee... The sole fact that you have to facetank all those exploding mobs, while with range you simply ignore them completely. Its so much different, like playing completely different game...

Then I slowly realized that the clusterfackery havent gone anywhere, in fact it got even more out of hand than it was :/ Whats with all the new mechanics? :/ I mean I dont even understand what item is good or what is bad these days. I see people shouting in chat about items that cost 200ex + While I have to spend a day to farm 30-40c I mean the gap... Iam lvl 75, barely scrathing the top of the iceberg and I see that all the new mechanics and majority of the old ones are not in favor to my character and its capabilities. So I kind of stuck in this endless loop of perish and grind through all those white/yellowish maps. And i tell you what, this game loses a massive amount of people that hit the wall like this really hard.
Currently its pretty hard to find another vaiable option to replace POE and that is one of the strongest pillars that this game is standing on. But we never know what the future might bring.
I dont know what kind of people play this game, but I think majority of those are in to sadism, because you have to have some sort of sadistic nature to keep this up daily. I guess I finally lost my sanity, as the Zana would say, or maybe I am stil sane enough to leave this clusterfuck, who knows. I think a lot of players linger on the fact that they spent a lot of time on this and probably even more money. I have seen lots of new players in act 1 act 2, but not that much in act 5 or 6. I think 1/10 of those stay if not less than that, and another 9/10 of those leave after they hit the wall at around ~75lvl or so. The merciless labyrinth is one of those mechanics that really puts you in the mood where sitting still in the corner and doing nothing actually gives more to you than trying to complete the ascendancy for the last 20 times.
The level requirements for labyrinths or maps or between different mobs does not indicate much at all. It is just there, but in fact it does not represent any valid information regardless of hardness of the task or area.

With each league it seems that we get more and more currency items, but whats the point in having hundreds of different currencies? the only thing I can think of is the need of warehouse tabs... Well you got to make money right... I guess so. But in the same way I got to feel satisfied as well, satisfied with the game and my time wasting in it. Why should I invest in the world that is a clusterfuck of all sorts of possible sadistic ways to entertain some individuals?

You know this game feels like entertainment not for the users, but rather the game NPCs and monsters. You I think instead of getting entertainment for myself I entertain Kitava, Izaro and all those other imbalanced mobs out there. Its their little hell paradise that we volunterely immers ourselves in.


Good GGG, its fun for ~5 acts maybe. I cant simply imagine people who manage to create 10 different characters in this setting and raise the lvl fully to the top each time. Going through all the acts twice is already a mental punishment, but doing it even more... Same stuff for each different character... Its already puts you on mentalbreakdown, because you dont really understand when will there be a different type of game play, I mean we create the different characters and we expect something different, but what we get is a different end gameplay, yet in the same maps, same items, same skills, even same mechanics and same background. What a "Whistle day".... I eman many leagues came and still no improvement in this regard.

Anyways, enjoy your stay exiles, dont lose your sanity completely.

Let me guess... u die a lot ?

If u plan on playing this game ever again... please get some help with ur build. 1k Life at Maps is Painful to watch... u have allocated like 8 life nodes at level 77...

Really game could be much more enjoyable with a better build maybe...

Edit: Nevermind there are only 6 life nodes and a mastery allocated. U even avoided the 2 traveling nodes with life at the duelist start.

I played enough already :) I had many characters with low health or high health, with good defences or block etc.. Tried many different mechanics and the result is the same always.
It is very simple, I dont have time and I dont see any need to invest my effort in something that is so broken that it needs that much effort to enjoy the content. There are many other options available, be it something simillar to POE or something completely different.

By the way, the last char, ranger is actually the one I died the least times, compared to others... Thats why I said, that playing as ranger is like playing a complete different game, compared to any melee characters I had before.

Yep, who cares.

Majority plays like 3days each league, then go. Enuff to get the pictur of 'no fun allowed' vision.

dude you came back wrong timing.

This league started and ended in October, and is exclusively for the super elites (0.01%), people whom uses chaos orbs like wisdom scrolls and exalts orbs like alchemies.

200ex? that's cheap man. Check out stasis prison.

I mean u clearly have the time to make a pretty long Feedback Post. I think that took more time than it would have taken time to figure out that many of ur passive points and links do absolutely nothing with some research.

come on - he does makes some points which are valid - a few I can identify with, melee vs range which has been discussed to death this game just piss on melee deal with it if take melee (which I still do and like but I just have to console with the fact that some maps will be UNDOABLE)
the huge disparity with those who follow the game and work with the multiple currencies vs those who are just struggling with the so many formats and fragments - i've been playing since lab and dont even know how to use some of those new orbs / or no time to learn - what for if they are going to be nerfed or changed again in a patch?
and then some
of the more recent ridiculous mods which the game has morph into, try to do any maven deathless, its nigh impossible. i have a whole stash of scourge maps because all of them have take 20k damage, take 2k degen etc - how to do? not everyone plays with a 10k hp character - do you?
i find that the game stress me out and makes me curse at it more than last time when i play it to find nice items etc, maybe due to burnout etc but i guess the difficulty level / huge time amount to grind is not helping some

The best low currency builds the last i would say around 4 leagues were melee.
Slams dominated everything before 3.15 for at least something around 1 year.
He clearly plays the game on ultra hardmode right now because he lacks basic game knowledge.

maybe if you can help by listing them or pointing to where i can find them? everytime someone says melee can work etc, but cannot substantiate with link? why so cryptic? if melee plays well then show it - some links, examples? i have my profile open you can see my chars and i can honestly say, i cannot clear some end game - i just got arsed kicked in maven the hidden - every one of them cast an AOE and i cannot even touch them to damage anything before all 6 portals are gone. 2 times i tried, and even roll non damage mods. and scourge map 1.8k degen lol... ok at least that one is skippable content

It is a bit outdated cause was done before league started but will still be perfectly fine. Should research for some improvements if u want to play this.
Check out Quantrik on Twitch. Last time i checked he played this build on a fresh start.

He finished First place in delve hcssf delve event with this. He also made changes to the build through the league pretty sure but u can Start with this and then learn from there how to further improve it. I think he has a twitch channel too where u could ask for Help i guess.
