General Discussion - Gameplay focused on spamming one single skill? - Forum

"Situational Skill" is the key. Obviously i can add. Templar lighting damage focused. Opening Move -> Shield Charge Normal mob & Champion -> Lighting Strike Elite & Boss -> Glacial Hammer deBuff -> Elemental Weakness (cast depends on the resistance of the targets) Buff -> Tempest Shield (cast 1 time per map) PoE definitely isn't a single skill game in my experience.

I am also against immunities. Just looking at D3 makes me roll my eyes. I wouldn't mind seeing monsters that are extremely resistant to magic though (and maybe have very low life), forcing magic-based characters to auto-attack them. I thinks the skills in POE are doing okay. You can make builds that utilize one major attack skill, or 2-4. And they all seem to perform fairly well. Though for instance, the build of the week, this week, featured a very centralized character, with just fireball as the major skill, all the other skills supporting that one.

Every character I've made has used AT LEAST 2 skills. The main reason for this is that most skills are either good for single targets or good for crowds. So depending on the number of enemies, the skill I use will vary. For instance, on my Duelist I use Dual Strike for single targets and bosses, and Cleave for multiple targets. I also use 2 auras and a curse. That's 5 skills used on a regular basis.	Posted by Axebane#6055 on Jul 15, 2012, 12:47:30 PM Banned Quote this Post
Building a firestorm totem witch. Using firestorm as main AOE while leveling to 31 for totem. Freezing pulse is my single target Power Siphon as a finishing blow to get the power charge I also use Tempest Shield Critical Weakness Zombie Decoy totem After I clear a mob, I like to put a decoy totem on the edge of the screen and rain firestorm on it to weaken the next mob a bit. After I get to lvl 31 I will set up firestorm totems and spam frost wall. Power Siphon and Freezing Pulse for everyone that sneaks by.

" qjay wrote: Hey guys, first off, i ve not played PoE yet, hence i cant really tell if its true.. but from those thousands of vids i ve seen now to me it seems that the gameplay of this game is focused around spamming just one single prefered skill... i dont know how this type of gamestyle will work out, since i ve not experienced it yet, but i could imagine it may get boring after time.. in D2 people usually used around 2+ skills and in d3 (which btw sucks imo) players at least had practically 1 primara + secondary + some other skills, based on setup and preferrence making it in average 3+ different skills theoretically player also could ve used 4 primary + 2 sec skills making it 6 different variations of attackstyle what are your thoughts about this and do you think that this "issue" needs to be adressed? 1offencive skill and 1 - 2 curses most of the time Шось?
