80+ levelling
" Just want to point out that Oak is on Dark Forest, map level 73. But anyway, any boss that uses attacks should be blinded and enfeebled. Although that won't stop desync, blind and enfeeble will severely cripple any attack based enemy.

I have Enfeeble on my CoWdt but there was so much going on I never noticed if either of them got tagged with it or if I got double-hit when my molten went off. They went down while I viewed the resurrect button. I think it had 50% monster pack and teleporting totems + the dual boss. Since they jumped around it wasn't possible to completely avoid them but I gotta learn when to Warp out. Host was the tank it was nice he let in some lower players my guy is only 78.

" I dont know what your max hp pool is but if you want progress in late game you will find that the best tacktic is to not die i.e maximize your hp pool! With 7.5k ES I find that I can survive mostly everything less I do something very stupid like forgetting that my crit fire traps got no LL and throw em all into huge pack of spiky shooter on deathXD that truly was hillarious!

" Didn't think about that one, lol. Still, that will not carry you all the way up to 90, 95, 100 without tons of time spent. Shavronne wrapped Kaom's waist,

Maybe it's just his first character, the first character always sucks in this type of games. I remember my previous witch when I tried to maximize my damage with firestorm, it works very well in normal, but when I entered in cruel/merciless it was a really useless character. Now I have a summoner witch(lvl 81 actually doing 70+maps) because you don't need a great gear to play in end-game phase.(i'm poor at this game lol)

gear check.
post merciless play is a gear check. look at life, armor, dps. talk to people who _can_ do those maps. unless you've really borked your skill tree, which you probably haven't, what you'll find is that you probably can't afford the gear that will let you do those maps safely. roll an MF character or quit the game, unless you like leveling characters over and over again. i used to like leveling characters just for fun. i got tired of that and started running MF. i'm very interested to see how long it's going to take me to get tired of running lunaris all the time. oh and what everybody else said about map mods. |

" Yeah, and using a caster I'm sure is difficult. I'm making a freeze pulser now, and I'm pretty sure he won't be able to get very high into maps before dying (I play solo, although I may do some partying with that character if he's too weak). The aura changes make it very difficult to maintain survivability and DPS on a caster now (at least playing solo). I may use a BM gem, but I didn't want to originally. EB is cool, I wanted to try it again. I also chose to go life instead of CI, I guess I'll see how that works out later on. But yeah if I have the sockets open I usuallyy try to have a manual enfeeble and decoy/enduring cry since in many cases you want to be preemptive. But depending on the build it may or may not be an option. IMO, the best defense in the game other than the obvious life/ehp, is block. I am currently trying to figure out how I can incorporate block into my FPer. It may not work out, but I'm going to try.

Why do you even need it in the first place?
It's been the standard rule for decades that the level cap in an rpg is unreachable. Ever capped a characters level in an Ultima game, might and magic, final fantasy, or dragon quest? Theres some MMO games that have an easily reached level cap (wow and its many clones) but this is done so that player's power is standardized and it doesn't become that raid groups will only invite you if you are a level 200 character who has been playing since launch. PoE does not have a need for standardizing characters power. Therse no real function to leveling past 80, if you can even GET to 80 you already have a character that can kill 99% of the content in the game with ease. Getting stronger wouldn't change the experience of playing, it would just allow you to run the same maps you already do. Would the game be better if GGG just set the level cap to 80 or 85? Than the problem would disappear. It's not like that the level 100 cap has any great function other than being a cool sounding number. |
