That is BS. I have a full time job, I'm married, I see my friends on evening during the week-end. I'm playing Nemesis, had a level 88, 87 and 78 characters all dead, and a living 70 duelist. And I did find great items.

How great were they?

Also, how much of it was funded through trading?

If your family don't allow you to play a video game, then don't

how different is poe itemization exactly compared to D3 lategame then ?
afaim concerned its literally the same.

maxlife is a given
so are resists
then youve +spelldmg or physdmg attackspeed or castspeed elemental dmg
WOW ITS THE SAME UNDER A DIFFERENT COVER.

ID NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT.

get over yourself there is little to none difference in poe and d3 regarding itemization
b-but y-you can link and socket ye that is neccesary in poe sadly while in d3 its a free part of the game allowing for more choices in itemization WOW wow i went there to say that d3 allows you to wear ANYTHING you want.

Then ivent even touched on the fact how important IIRIIQ is while d3 allows you to get rid of ALL MF on your gear the further you level.

Sadly PoE is so hellbent on being oldsql that it makes the game worse then it could be.
I could equip awesome gear then id swim in white items and blues with 1-3 rares per map awesome.

I will leave you gentlemen to your d3 bashing and poe praising , keep in mind both games have their fair share of failures but when it comes to itemization poe does nothing better then d3 and even limits you for not having that link or this one.


There are builds in PoE that don't utilize life at all. There is also a cap on resists so you do not need to have them on every item. When you listed spell damage/physical damage/attack speed/cast speed you already doubled the weapon diversity that D3 has. That's not to mention the crit builds here and a few other ways to build.

I'm frankly shocked that anyone believes that the itemization is the same between D3 and PoE. It's not even worth discussing. The diversity of PoE is incredible. In D3 it's a laugh.

ROfL no1. why you guys comparing those 2 games! AGAIN?!

D3 is for youth kids who want to play a fast arcade no-brainer game and have insane drops in a couple of minutes. end of story!




We all know that. Our problem with it is they called it Diablo 3, an ARPG, and used Diablo 2's legacy to sell 12 million'ish PC copies and 2 million'ish console copies. The game is not an ARPG or Diablo game. It is exactly as you described above, a fast paced no-brainer arcade game.

Had they not advertised the game as an ARPG and successor to Diablo 3, and given it a different name like Gauntlet 3 and advertised it for what the game actually is... who would be complaining about the game. The game is a pretty good fast paced no-brainer arcade game, but I bought Diablo 3. And didn't receive what I purchased.

So now youre playing PoE a much slower game in terms of progression and actual gameplay couppled with even worse RNG.

Back to the future !

Who the fuck cares. The point is and was that it's doable. You lose.
I really dont get why this question even comes up?
the itemization in D3 is terrible!
You only hunt for +char attribute, +res all, +crit or something similar (dont remember which one exactly). and there isnt much more in D3 than this. Not one interesting or fun mod on the items.
In PoE it can be frustrating to find a specific upgrade. But only becuase you can have so many mods which you can actually use! So much possibilities to build... builds. So much stuff you can use on different chars. I always have in mind what other chars can use and I constantly find usefull stuff. Its great!
Of course, my marauder needs a new weapon for quite some time now, which dont find, but on the way I found numerous upgrades for other chars.

Because some people think itemization = droprate. Those who actually know what itemization is realize that PoE wins by a landslide and there's not really anything to discuss.
GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.
