Congratulations Jo, you made me buy dota 2, you made me buy FTL (which i told my friends looked horrible until you recommended it), you made me buy PoE. Now I am convinced you are working for those companies. Either way great investments on my behalf, keep up the good work love all the comics.

Actually there is a better tool called POESKillTree for skilltree building than the official one - it also shows all the stats/bonuses that you get, which is very useful. It also lets you import your gear from your logged in char, so that you can view the combined stats.

Was supposed to study a bit for my History of American Literature test. Searched for the game and tried it out (and by that i mean i completed act 1 somewhere around 2 in the morning). The test is in 1h... I'm so screwed ^^'

This reminds me of every League of Legends game where I sacrifice my optimum build for an early-game advantage, especially when I'm trying to stop some future afterschool special from tower diving, lane charging, and basically being the opposing team's Thanksgiving turkey.

@Fancy Mathematics:
Doing that is usually a sign of tabletop rpg gamers, if you haven't tried then yet (witch I doubt) find a group and have a blast. Is much more fun to use a build you design when you don't have the programming limitations slowing/stopping you.

I so like Borderlands system - you can respec everything for nominal price, and also there are "class mods" that give huge bonus to many skills, making them a mini-respecs in form of item.

@Fancy Mathematics:
You are not alone. Designing builds is awesome and I spent more time theoricrafting than playing this game.
Too bad there's no way to test if the build is decent before we play, and if it sucks you will waste a lot of time having to reroll.

Strangely, I find that I have much more fun formulating the builds theoretically than actually putting them in practice. Am I weird enough?

@Not For Me: Or you use an editor to respec. The problem with Diablo 2 is that you need to spend all your points in specific skills located at the end of the trees.
[url=#user_comment_246260]@lolwat[/url]: To a rather limited extent. You only get enough respec points from quests and orbs, the former of which can only be done once and the latter of which are fairly rare.

lazy arpg devs need to make their games like then 3 hours for fuck sakes
nanje

so is the game actually long? restarting characters is fine and dandy but if the game is 3 hours long then who gives a shit how many builds there are. i don't understand why arpgs have to be so short
Not For Me
about 12 years ago
The reason I never liked Diablo 2 was because it was so strict about character builds. If you fucked up, you started over.
If PoE is more of the same, I'm not interested. I'm not a masochist like some HARDKORE GAYMURS.

It's half the fun I have with ARPG games. This is why D3 sucked. You hit max level and just waited to see what's the new build of the week and everyone runs it.

Think a game should be like that, and not like "follow this build, and gear, and you do best damage/healing/...)"

Deciding on your build and seeing if it works or really is the most fun about the game. Shame that the seeing if it works part takes a lot longer than most roguelikes that have a similair mentality :(
Also a pity that right-click attacking isn't as polished as with D2/D3. Don't like spam clicking.

I hope this game lets you reset your skills, otherwise it's going to be a huge fucking buzz-kill restarting your character.
But the difference between Legos and D2/PoE is that it doesn't take a week to find out if your lego build was any good. Also, if it isn't, you don't need to scrap the whole thing. Lego creations also tend to be able to do more than one action. It may lack endgame but at least D3 wasn't mouse2 to win
