Path of Exile

If anyone isn't aware, Path of Exile is now open beta. In other words, it's free.

Basically what it is is a Diablo-like game, which the director mentioned being heavily inspired by the mechanics of D2. The game has been in development for 6+ years by a small indie team, and besides a few instances where I was confused, the game is solid. Though, the servers aren't the best (I had to switch to EU since on the NA server I started rubberbanding due to the traffic), and the game is more spec intensive than D3.

Just to give you an idea, here's a representation of what class the top 1000 on the latter boards are playing.

Marauder - 205 - 20.5%
Ranger - 210 - 21.0%
Templar - 161 - 16.1%
Shadow - 106 - 10.6%
Witch - 259 - 25.9%
Duelist - 59 - 5.9%

Reading the PoE forum posts, Duelists have the worst choices in nods within their skill tree, which makes them the least popular choice. The Devs have acknowledged this and are working balance this class. Marauder is your typical Barbarian, and Ranger/Witch being your typical ranged classes. As far as I can tell, there does seem to be a Diablo 3 effect with the class choices (tank vs glass canon).

I chose to go with a popular template for the Templar, with a points distributed in STR, VIT, armor and INT. Basically a melee elementalist. I also put some points in increased AoE nods as well.

Oh, this game is making me rage hard in single player.

40 on my Marauder now.

Majin, get on skype in the morning and check up Whale Force, there's a couple of us who interact there for PoE. Also, I told Belgian to send you a friend request since you guys are both around the same level.

Playing PoE for over approximately 16 hours a day (midi) is not healthy!

If anyone has Chain, Reduced Mana, or Auras other than Purity Anger and Wrath hit me up for a trade.

Hit 61 today and got Eldritch Battery (Still need more life) and have all the auras I have found so far running on summons now.

I started playing this again this week using the new character Scion. IMO they are by far the best class in the game as they get to start right in the middle of the ability wheel. I do think you have to beat the game before you can play this class but not 100% on that since I had beat it back when it came out using my Witch character.

So far I'm playing a spectral throw build and am loving it and almost have the First difficulty cleared.

Do any of you guys still play this?

Nah, after that one month of going on a complete diet solely composed of Path of Exile, I had to quit once I had beaten the hardest difficulty. The amount of stuff you can experience in the game is phenomenal, and the game hits the nail on the head on what a Diablo game should of done in order to be entertaining.

Too much of a timesink to go back to though.
