Path of Exile (F2P Loot Hack 'n Slash) Open beta later this year

Awww shit. My hardcore, level 48, melee Ranger just died this morning :(

Starting a summoner now, thanks to unique amulet I found with +10% health/speed/damage for minions :D!
 
I started the race like, two hours late. I couldn't find when it started so I assumed sometime later than it started.

But I still managed to kill Brutus before the lock without dying. Decided to play Duelist and definitely want to rock that class again in the future.
 
Think Im going to start up a witch or a duelist in a minute.

Feel like trying something that isn't focused on slow melee attacks that hit like a truck.
 
I think I hit the point where I should stop working on my current character and try something else.

Need to discover more optimal builds for ladder races and deadly builds for pvp.
 
So... i finished the thing, what now?

I dont have any maps and i dont really like to play without any objectives.

Maybe continue with another char, or maybe wait for open beta...
 
Youtube trolled me hard ;\ I've uploaded my almost whole playthrough [2h so more than 11h of uploading for me] of Act Cruel with my Ranger and yt havent put it in 720p ;\
I've spend several hours earlier in The Cave to level up and farm of course, thats why i'm leveled higher than areas.

43:50 - Alira fight
1:02:50 - Oak fight
1:35:30 - Act 2 Boss fight

:)
 
My dual dagger Shadow ended up feeling too fragile at the end of Normal. I didn't want to roll a Duelist, so I changed to heavy/evasion armour. It's actually working well so far, using Dual Strike with Added Lightning and Added Cold for single targets, Whirling Blades for positioning, Fire Trap, and Critical Weakness and Lightning Strike with Increased Critical Damage and Lesser Multiple Projectiles for area damage.
 
Two diamond supporter have posted images of their Uniques, which will come with .12

Damn, dat axe. That would make marauders even more OP (provided they could get the dex for it, which I assume wouldn't be huge). 1200 life per minute is pretty ridiculous.
 
I got absolutely wrecked on my ranger at the Siren boss at the end of act 1.

I can't stop to attack her fast enough without getting frozen.

So far I've got the Point Blank passive and the Iron Reflexes. I think I need to stack more evasion rating and start working on getting more health. I'm working my way toward Blood Magic, but since my character doesn't have a boatload of health I feel like this could completely ruin the character.

Currently using Lighting Arrow, Flame Arrow, Split Arrow, and Phase Run. Level 15 or 16 I think.

Can't fight her range. Phase run to her face, point blank and drink those potions.

Get two cold res rings. You can just tank her after that.

another 0.9.12 Unique

Ghost Reaver should be the new Keystone, which allows to leech Energy Shield instead of Life

Dayum, now I need to farm that out for my shadow when 9.12 hits. Two would be nice but you know, can't have everything. Taking a break from PoE for the moment for Darksiders 2 though.

I can't really tell how lucky he got outside of getting the unique map. Looks like he dropped a lot of rares and stuff and wasn't all that impressed with what he was getting.

That was my impression, too. But that's the nature of this game; an overload of quantity until quality is muscled in; which makes a map that is basically one huge chest less exciting because you know going in that you'll have to kick trash around forever until something good comes.

The way item progression works with this game does not mesh well with containers. It is awesome with monsters because the combat is so much fun that you don't even noticed that 98% of the loot is nothing, but when all you are doing is opening chests; it shows.

Also, got my second unique. A str and dex blade that reduces life, leech mana and bonus energy shield. I don't know how the hell to make this work.

I think he says he got lucky because last time he and 2 others that came along didn't get anything worth keeping and now he at least got some decent linked gear
 
New patch notes, mostly bug fixes but I'm curious to know what that vendor recipe is...

Version 0.9.11j (Current Version)

Added one new hidden vendor recipe.

Enabled the vendor recipe that enables you to trade various higher qualities of Maps for Cartographer's Chisels. This is now the same as other types of items.

The Wealth mod on magic and rare monsters now causes fewer items to drop but they are of higher rarity. Previously the item explosions from these monsters were too large.

"While healing" effects from flask mods can no longer be indefinitely extended by using more flasks.

Fixed a bug where if your minion put a damage-over-time effect on a monster and was then deleted, the monster's death would not count towards your experience.

Fixed Puncture's quality bonus so that it now works.

Fixed bugs with Lightning Warp's ability to target certain locations.

Fixed a bug where items linked in chat by developers or moderators would not appear correctly.

Fixed a bug where developers and moderators would occasionally not have the correct designation in game.

Fixed a bug where some players' status messages could get corrupted (and would have random foreign letters after them). If you have this problem, changing your status message will get rid of the corruption forever.

Me being dumb.
I am trying to get the allflame (on merciless, so I done this some 5 or 6 times before) when notice comes that 1 minute remaining.
I get it, 30 seconds. (omg, ok, great, now just run back and deliver it)

Completely what happens after you deliver.
No auras, no traps on the ground, my poor witch made of paper is auto-killed.

Me being dumb 2:

Chaos innoculation. Use flask that causes damage to health.
 
Damn that's incredible build.

edit: BtW i feel like thay give Blood magic to much of use. I mean there are several uniques which fits into that skill.

I think Blood magic is to common. Everytime i see marudeur it's 80% chance he have blood magic.
