When diablo 3 RoS comes out, PoE will die and the future will repeat itself

POE without evasion,dodge block, accuracy will be a horrible game

POE without those things on mobs would be far superior. Players would obviously still have those stats and things would be the same in that regard, but it being on mobs is just annoying and makes the early game feel so much worse.

Honestly, I think I'm going to bite the bullet and buy D3 and ROS. I will continue to play both D3 and PoE.

This game doesn't have much atmosphere to it in my opinion while I believe D3 was successful in this aspect.

Maybe it's the lore side of things that makes me feel this way. I am more connected to the lore of Sanctuary than Wraeclast. Hell, most of us probably are.

It is what it is.

How many people take resolute technique + unwavering stance + iron reflexes?

I guess that leaves block.

No crit based or dex based character I know takes resolute technique. Also, that's like saying "more people take ES? we should take life out of the game"

I hardly said that. I did say that lots of players willingly discard the accuracy/evasion mechanic. So, they play (on those characters) a version of PoE that doesn't have them.

Honestly, I think Resolute is a horrible keystone because it removes depth. I don't like the idea that a dex char has worse chance to hit than a brutish str char. I also prefer dex chars.

On the other hand, a majority of builds I've seen, even for bow rangers, go scotting around to the marauder/templar part of the tree, and grab some fraction of resolute/blood magic/IR/unwavering (sometimes all of them!), thereby completely discarding the following mechanics:

- Crit
- Accuracy
- Evasion
- Stun (one-sided)
- Mana

The accuracy mechanic as a whole is kind of crappy right now, I think. Even with tons of dex, you still need a few accuracy nodes to get reasonable chance to hit (~90%). Curses bring that to 95% easily, but it's a lot of nodes to spend when STR-based chars can just decide that accuracy is something they'd rather not worry about.

Crit is too fun though, so I deal with it.

had a lot of fun playing D3 (over 1200 hours), will get RoS for sure.
But will have an eye on PoE the same time and play the game as I really like it too.

To be honest Reaper of Souls looks to make Diablo 3 able to compete with Poe with each game having advantages.

I will play both and hope GGG will accept the competition and keep making Poe better.

after the D3 disaster i decided i won't give Blizzard my money again and i intend to stick to this decision.

the mechanics could still be in the game, however they can just interpolate that things so players dont get desynced BY them... like they did in WOW where all those mechanics where in the game but did not cause desync due to clever interpolation

Yeah sorry blizzard, I won't be tricked again.

ROFL hilarious ...

I'd love to hear the population stats on Diablo 3. In most consumer's eyes D3 release was a mess and it's too late to make it up.

I've met plenty of people who enjoyed the game regardless.

I uninstalled and threw the disk away long ago.
This game is what I wanted.
Even though I suck as a player.
