Alright. Just remember, Having cold damage does not make you cold resistant. And Merveil is a royal pain in the ass without cold resist.

The way people have been going on about this you'd think it was the BESTEST GAME EVAR. However I just haven't been able to find much fun in it thus far. Maybe its cause I never played Diablo or something. I'll keep trying for a couple days but I expect this to be uninstalled by Monday.

I was not a big fan of this game during closed beta(early on) and left it alone for 2+ months. Now that I returned it seems a bit more intuitive and enjoyable, so maybe I just needed to ease my way in. I don't really have time to devote to it but I am enjoying it a lot.

Everygame is the bestest game evar, that the whole point of hype

Aside from that, diablo-like ARPGs are like any other genre, not everyone likes them that much, but plenty of people do.

I think it has less to do with the overall bestness of the game...and more to do with the fact it's a Diablo clone that's free to play, and a) it doesn't completely suck b) it's not an abusive cash grab and c) they've thrown some interesting (to me) ideas in there, in a genre that as uncreative as FPS are.

I'm playing, decided to settle on a semi-close range cold witch.

There is summon skeletons. They don't last very long and usually die in one hit until the gem levels some, but theres also a thing (in the cosmetics shop) to turn it into summon statues.

It doesn't work any differently, but it looks pretty awesome in comparison I'd say, now that I have the gem again to use.

Combine summon skeletons with exploding minions and you have walking bombs! Just put some support gems into it, and it's a viable summoner build.

Downloading as we speak. I always love playing paladin in this kind of games. Are they any good?

Username is Elsior.

Templars are cool, I always play either as hammer+shield elemental templar or cold caster templar.

The only problem is that they don't like skirts or pants. Pants are too mainstream for them. It looks a bit silly in heavy armor.

[Aklyon]

The templar, as he likes to say, is no beast of burden. Pants are a burden when you need to run everywhere quickly and without having to deal with scorched pants (or soaked pants, or freezing pants). Having to put out or dry off or warm up your pants would give the rhoas time to aim correctly and hit you.

[Rose]

Yeah, pants in PoE are like shirts in Torchlight 2. they're in short supply.

I totally regret not using the beta key I got a while ago... this is pretty great.
I'm trying a ranger, working towards crit focus. Is that silly?

[Valid_Dark]

Such a great game, I've been playing all day with members of the Bay12 steam group,
but if anyone wants to add me, account name : ValidDark
play hardcore only.

[Aklyon]

Needs a character name, not just an account name.

Hrn. So far, not too bad, barring the reoccurring memory leaks. Computer can run it, at least, though I wish I could disable a few more things in relation to graphics.

Any idea how poorly optimized an archer/summoner would be? Zombies make things surprisingly painless for the templar I just gave a go, even though magic in general seems hilaribad early on (guessing it takes off later or something?). Meatshields for the critter actually doing damage and is fairly flimsy is... tempting.

Anyway, just kind of fumbling around, enjoying things. Marauder, templar, ranger, so far. Regen-focused tank (so far, anyway), aiming for lightning blaster (though I currently have no idea what the zappy spells beyond spark [which sucks balls, so far] are >_>), and no clue (though loving poison arrow), respectively. Still on the first... act? I guess. Furthest dude's killed the giant crab thing in the cave. I'll meander more tomorrow.

[Aklyon]

Spark is epic indoors. Combine it with fork, inside building? Probably the closest you'll get to danmaku in this game. Outside though...yeah. It kinda wanders. Doesn't keep the miniboss on the ledge from killing people who don't expect it though.
Other than that, theres lightning arrow (not too bad), Lightning Strike (ranged/melee weapon-based attack, seems to be in high demand in tradechat and is popular with templars), and Arc (chain lightning spell, pretty cool)

Archer/Summoner is pretty stretched out, depending on which way you're starting from. (Ranger needs to go through the middle or through shadow's area to find minion nodes and is going to need a lot of int help and a ton of mana help, Witch needs to go the inverse way down the tree with dex help, Shadow would need to go in both directions and might need a bit of stat help eventually. Templar has to cross the entire tree to get to bows unless I'm missing something in his nearby area, but is pretty close to the minions. Marauder Summon Archer is an absurd idea. Duelist I never really have tried, honestly. Eventually I'll make one.). Try planning it out on the passive tree on the website.
