Phrecia 3.27 patch notes when?

"

Talk to me when you ready to speak about self cast frostbolt.


Did you stop to consider that certain skills are specifically designed (or upkept) with the intention to be used with other skills? AKA the entire design of PoE 2, and many of the alt skills. Frostbolt happens to be one of them, almost exclusively designed to be combined with ice nova and/or totems.

But sure....go ahead and strawman. It's the age-old "But...heavy strike" argument. ANYONE can come up with one unique scenario that they can spit at people.....that's why Zrev's request of Pashid was equally ridiculous: that was the entire goal, finding that ONE absurd thing that they can use to justify everything else in a strawman.

I won't engage in this nonsense anymore.

Frostbolt existed long before frost nova of frostbolts and its damage numbers and updates to these numbers are clear signal it is intented to do damage and not be a purely delivery mechanism for the frostnova.

If devs really intend to have this spell be a delivery mechanism for another skill, which would be lame af, they should remove the damage component entirely.

And since they instead of removing the damage component fiddle with its damage numbers they clearly intend it to be damage dealing ability. They just hugely off the mark how much of a buff it needs.

The list of things in game that are not up to standard of current challenge is long and sad.

It doesn't matter if you engage with this or not.

POE2 should be the ruthless vision experience and POE1 should be the zoom power fantasy sandbox to capture both audiences.
I petition to return all the fun stuff that was removed or nerfed over the years back into POE1.

Looked at the ladder and I cant find a "Pashid" on it. Unfortunately it cuts off around lvl 69. ~80+% of the characters at the end of the ladder are dead.


how many private profiles are on the list
I dont know. How would that matter?

I do not believe my request was "ridiculous". I even implied (or outright stated) reasoning for it. If you missed it or if I was unclear: In order for such post as Pashids to be useful to people who have a harder time with the campaign there is a need to elaborate. How else would such post be helpful? Otherwise whats the purpose of such a post (without implying questionable motivation of poster)?

Regarding the ladder lookup in previous posts: Unfortunately the export cuts off at 1000 instead of at 15000 which I didnt realize when I made the posts. I have now manually looked through the ladder pages and didnt find 'Pashid' either. So outcome/result of the lookup is the same as before.

Edit: Would be useful to have a better ladder interface. The export is good in principle but cutting off at 1000 is not.

I miss poe-racing.com. Too bad devs killed it with the change to account discriminators...
The opposite of knowledge is not illiteracy, but the illusion of knowledge.
I think I'm gonna start infernal blow Paladin in the Hardcore version of the Phrecia event, patch notes pending.

I'm looking forward to hearing about how my strike melee build is Meta when I bulldoze the campaign easily.

IIRC the dev didnt want to do it anymore. The account discriminator issue was a little thing which would have been fixable. Also wrote the dev a message of how they could be fixed, just in case, unfortunately didnt seem to help prevent the sites demise.

One of the number 1 leveling setups...since forever....is ED/Contagion. Both of these skills have damage components. Good luck running one without the other. There have ALWAYS been, since the beginning of this game, spells that deal damage but are primarily NOT dps, they are support spells. And ALL OF THESE SKILLS have received damage tweaks many many times. How about bane without curses?

This is not a new concept. Your thoughts are bonkers sir.

buldoze campaign with infernal blow? that.. kinda is a given isnt it? esp in SC trade

but IB is pure garbo single target wise - and Paladin really doesnt scream (see what i did there?) like a single target multiplier. there is only that much what warcries can give you and Strike skills have fewer compatible warcries than slams

it being 4watchstones ready without overcompensating with gear - unlikely. it is just a bad skill and 25% more damage + full power warcry spam might not be enough


as for people claiming big things and never actually substantiating it - welcome to the internet when everyone is tall, handsome, smart, rich and famous. you can say anything, fake photos, lie about everything - nobody cares enough to check

and these people claiming they play off meta with hidden profiles arent any different :)
