Old gamer's pride I guess. If I were to get stuff from other players, I could no longer feel that I acomplished anything on my own.
Today is one gem, tomorrow you feel like trading for a wand and before you know it, nothing on your inventory is self-found. Mind you, I understand why people trade, since it's next to imposible finding everything on your own and many simply lack the time to hunt down every piece they need. On a different note... the new patch gets released tomorrow. Not expecting a change on this soon, but it would be nice if the duration of portals could be increased....... a lot.

Ah self found, I agree with you on that, you trade one thing then it becomes easier and easier to get everything just by trading.
However without trading you limit yourself, its especially important in PoE, because the chances of you finding a 6L or a god like item specifically for your build is very small. But hey ho its how you play lots of respect for that. Do you know many vendor recipes? They will be really helpful for you to use. New patch looks good, maybe 1 or 2 more to go then I will hop back on. I always check to see the new unique's on the forums. Some of them are so badass! Plus in about 2 months time I think they are releasing the expansion.

I think Mcfart is talking about the desync issues, which isn't that much of a problem anymore, unless you go for a whirling blades build or very high mobility.

Yes, but that recipe was already there prior to 1.0.4. When the new patch came, they announced four new ones, which I have yet to see listed anywhere.
I do agree about prismatic rings being useful, speciallly at the beginning.

Fire Witch for the most part, but I do like to have the zombies around too. Going for armor/evasion gear because I never felt safe behind energy shield with my first witch.
I also rely heavily on curses, such as Flambility and Enfeble. Hex Master + Enfeble is pretty awesome. What's your current build?

That sounds like a very hard build to pull off reliant on gear or quality gems?
Last time I played I was using my Scion as a lightning strike build, extremely fast and heavy elemental damage, hard to play till around 40 then its very easy and one shots a lot. Using armour too, got to 55 now. Before that I was a spark witch build with CI was a lot of fun until 70, then I just didn't have enough energy shield to survive maps, and didn't have enough currency to upgrade all my gear.

I am also interested in playing a Scion, but I'll probably try the Ranger first and then her. Oh, and I managed to play a few events today, btw. If my computer doesn't explode, I may be able to get the first prize on my next event.

Ah nice, did the events go well?
I like were the Scion is on the passive tree, can be modeled into nearly every build. I just read up on the news for the new trading system, sounds very easy to use compared to the one at the moment. If you can even call the current trading, a system

Already got the first two prizes (24 points), but lost 5 to greed at the hands of a boss. If I had avoided him for another 30 seconds instead of trying a last minute kill, I would already had the boots as well.
No further events today break my heart, since I wont be having much time to play come next week. btw...... Do you know how some people are getting their HP stat so high? (+5,000 HP). The life nodes (6 and 8%) don't seem to give off that much to my Lv. 60 Witch, and I am barely above the 1,100 HP mark in mercyless.

Unlucky on that, but at least you got a few rewards.
The only people I see with 5k+ have Kaom's Heart and other extremely high hp items, with hp nodes together. Because you said you are going for armour/evasion gear, your hp should be a little bit higher then that at Lvl 60.Running around with 1.1k is really hard in mercy, very likely to get one shotted. What are your values for Armour/evasion? New information for the upcoming skills! Quote:

I am not playing at the moment, because I hate the 3d art at high levels, just look like a trash can. But in 1.1 update new 3d art so will be playing when that comes out. What kind of build you using on your Marauder?

Groundslam, following Alkazier's build.
With only 2 weeks left in domination I am mostly just "fooling around". I do not plan to keep this char as my main after merging to standard due to what I read to be a fucked up economy similar to D3, where something good would go for far beyond what I can afford. Past 2 days have been rather depressing. As I ran out of maps to solo myself I started to join some free lv70 mapping parties. Everyone attack at 5 hits a second while I am hit noticeable slowly. Makes me think "Am I the only one who does not have a 5/6L weapon and chest?" (towards the last few days of the league/after league merged I am going to see if I can loan a 6L weapon from someone in guild so I can see if that is indeed "that one thing" I am missing) I started to solo farm piety today and died 3 times to rubberbanding/desync as I ran to her chambers with a quicksilver flask (did around 10 runs).... As I run with public groups I am also keeping an eye out on builds that might look cool/fun to play and do some research on the. When the new league begins I plan to make one caster (maybe summoner*) and a melee (not sure what build). *I played with a summoner once in group play, tbh they don't feel that great there since the direct damage dealers are all just mowing through mobs while summons are all relatively slow/kind of do their own thing/cannot really keep up. I think they are more of a solo class where they let their summons clear map after map while picking up loot. |

Never actually left; been having lots of fun with Viper Strike+Melee Splash, along with Fire Trap+Multiple Traps+Fire Penetration.
Oh, and I might as well leave their promo poster here: http://webcdn.pathofexile.com/public...f_the_Vaal.jpg
