I like them in the inventory and stash, but not in chat links; it's hard to see their colors and thus tough to tell if a skill is class-appropriate without mousing over it.

Oh, that's super nice. I can already tell what a few of them are just from the art. No more mousing over an entire stash page.

Also most of the shields don't look like you put a handle on a dinner plate or pulled the front off a chest of drawers now. Yay.

Just had all of my orbs removed from my stash in a 1 hour period when I was logged off from the game.  This was quite a bit of wealth.  Very sad.

Make sure your shit is secure, your password is secure, etc, etc.  Never been hacked before.  Feels bad :(

Sadly a bit late for you but they just implemented the same system GW2 uses where if you log in from a different ip than usual then you have to put in a code they mail you.

Just grabbed this last night. Started playing around with the tree builder - oh my.

Does anyone have an opinion on "Iron Reflexes" (converts all evasion rating to armor) as something to build around.
I did a quick build on a duel wielder that would be at +140% evasion at 47 points. Does this seem feasible?

Would be nice if the tree builder listed out all of the bonuses you had selected.

Try this and let me know if it works?

http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/19723

Have it downloaded but haven't bothered yet. Melee is pretty terrible endgame right now if that matters to you but I'm assuming softcore who cares about endgame (this is f13 afterall) so if so just go for it but know that there are builds that require gear and builds that require gems and some builds that require both.

That can get pretty tough on you and make the game a lot less fun if you don't build something simple first. The simple builds are ones that use a skill that does enough damage just from leveling the gem and that skill comes as a quest reward. That's as simple as PoE can get although you still need to balance stats/regens/hp/ele resists/chaos resist as you go.

Duel wielding duelist with the life converted to mana perk and it's cleave alllll day long. So much more fun than D3....still looks like ass sometimes, but more fun.

At that level, definitely. What I'm not sure about is how useful armour, evasion or energy shield really are at high levels. I've read several posts on the official forums from people complaining that armour is essentially useless against high level mobs and that only endurance charges offer viable protection.

I don't have anyone past 60 yet (too many alts!) so I can't personally confirm that.

I think its something like at 20k armor you are immune to small attacks but huge attacks from special prefixes/mob types can still kill you very dead very fast. The problem is 30k 40k 50k 60k 70k even are all the same situation. You take very little damage from normal physical damage but you could still be very dead very quickly to those things. So basically armor only gets you so safe and after that its a waste to go crazy and make your build only about armor tanking.

That's all third hand though so prob me talking out my ass.

You can do crazy things with evasion, look up Devmoon, but common HC wisdom is that pure evasion tanking is a joke because when it fails you are dead. For Softcore though it is probably pretty cool and fun.

The armor mechanics are final_damage = base_damage * (base_damage / (base_damage + armor / 12)). So 2400 armor will reduce a 100-damage attack by 66%, but a 200-damage attack by only 50%, and a 400-damage attack by only 33%. The number on your character sheet is based on an average hit for your level. Having high armor is great for making your flasks last longer and surviving trash whites, but stacking life or ES gives you more bang for your buck when it comes to surviving the really dangerous monsters.

Yeah, I noticed on my Marauder even in just cruel difficulty that my decision to invest in getting as many endurance charges as possible pays off a looooot more than armor. I'm keeping at the proper gear curve and I've generally been lucky enough to find the most up to date base items with good rolls and bonus armor and I only really become tanky after building up a few endurance charges.

I didn't take any bonus armor passives yet though. I usually sit at 55%-ish+ damage reduction before endurance charges. After all my charges? Try about 88%.

Sounds like it should be fun to try, so I'll keep at it. "End game" is a total non factor for me, due to altitis, so it should be fine.

I'm still trying to get a grasp on the whole support gem thing, and how sockets are linked or not. Need to read more.

I've been playing this as Nyshtar, level 45 Shadow.  Always down to blow shit up with someone.  I have several lower level alts as well.  I definitely like it better than D3 overall though I somtimes wish the combat was as smooth as D3's was.

My biggest problems with this at the moment are the messy graphics in a full party and the fucking impossible to see cursor in those situations.

I mean, this is a mild example, it's usually a lot, lot worse than this:

Playing multiplayer is retarded with random people and not because people suck, but rather because you can't not get like 2-3 fucking summon-based witches.

God yes, I hate summoners. I was thinking of building one until I started group playing and realised what fucking pain they are.

Hey, I just hit 60 with my dual totem Ice Spear witch, I'm hardly blameless when it comes to screen-filling.

Soon as I get hold of a GMP gem it'll be even worse  awesome, for real

My Ice witch, is in her 30s and is currently a Single LMP+Ice Spear + Totem , and LMP+ Ice Spear. I don't have enough points i think to make it to dual totems. I can't wait till i find a piece of gear that lets me add fork to my ice spear totem. I've been playing around with LMP+Freezing Pulse, which is like a shotgun blast, but its too short range for my comfort.

Dual totems + faster casting + dual curses (Forstbite/Crit Weakness) = most stuff gets frozen as soon as it comes in range and dies before unfreezing. I help out with traps, mana permitting.

It's not the highest DPS in the world, but I bring 2 auras and 2 curses and lots of frozen mobs to a party. Solo I'm very, very safe, almost nothing touches me. Soloed all 3 bandits on Merciless earlier on without a single death. Kraityn took ages though, but the few times he hit me he didn't get through my ES :)

Gets a bit tricky in the tunnel type dungeon maps though, Merciless Vaal Ruins was hairy, I either need to go CI or get some more resists I think.

Yeah, it was such an abrupt letdown and much worse than D3 to me cause I was actually just getting into it, I was not prepared for the story just...ending.  Yes it may be a minor thing in spite of an otherwise fun game but it bugs me a lot that they didn't even put in some kind of splash screen saying something along the lines of "The vortex of power emanating from the scepter assaults your mind, trapping you in your memories, for now" or some other bullshit.

I like to research the endings of all the games I play before I play them...

Also the "it's in beta" is kind of a shitty excuse when it's a free to play game open to everyone, things like this are never 'done'

Finally, I didn't even say it was their problem. The game IS in beta and they did nothing wrong by having an unfinished game but the way it ends is jarring and annoying and will leave bad impressions.
