Gas Arrow Pathfinder is SMOOTH! - Toxic Rain Pathfinder 2.0!

[@Valsedar]

as someone who is lvling another deadeye, i went with the gas arrow/fire wall build. VERY different builds so good on you to get ahead :) it is a super smooth lvler. i plan on trying out the deadeye xbow build in maps. already played a LA and its chilling for quick spot farming if need be

[@GogumeloVermelho]

damn, those wings look cool

[@kascca]

the men is back with the bow! nice to see just entered endgame with an iceshot deadeye, preety cool too. will try poison next

[@Fandolorian]

yessssssssssssssssssssssssssss, he's back, he's REALLY back! this is the new character I just leveled, with gas arrow. gonna tinker with mine after looking yours :D! thanks agains

[@Fandolorian]

also, what filter are you using ? im using neversinks, but your colours are much nicer to look at

[@PathofEvening]

Slychac’s Strict Loot Filter, you can find it here: www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3626958

[@mfj_games]

so question about Deadly Poison, when I socket it my paper damage goes down a lot. is this just a situation of EA not calculating correctly? I can find magnitude in the skill or character sheets anywhere.

[@PathofEvening]

Your hit damage does go down, but the poison damage goes up way, way more. In-game calcs are 100% inaccurate, as is tradition.

please give us a fire concoction build guide 🙏

[@langerhans100]

i wanna try that as a chayula monk

[@SF_Savitar]

its not rly good i tested it even with ELE gloves scaling flat dmg u rly wana be pathfinder for this :/

[@PathofEvening]

Yeah, any kind of poison build will really need to be Pathfinder, at least until Shadow is in the game.

[@JabbarRulz]

Good job 😁

[@rip2lucasX]

How good is it? Is better than LA dead eye?

[@jooj5392]

no

[@PathofEvening]

Is ice cream better than pizza? Maybe, maybe not. It depends.

[@motherpigeon1582]

I would say similar dps but waaaay more tanky than LA if we are comparing but yes as it was stated we are comparing ice cream to pizza.

[@PathofEvening]

​@@motherpigeon1582 To give a more technical answer, it's different. Gas Arrow is less effort. You can fire one arrow into a crowded room and walk away, everything will die. LA requires constant shooting, but it can off-screen enemies where Gas Arrow absolutely cannot hit outside of the screen.

For the love of God, never say you had a good or easy time with the trial of suckmyass!!!!

[@PathofEvening]

Spoken like someone who was scarred by doing it as melee. It is legitimately not bad as ranged (especially post-nerf), absurd as that is to say.

[@sethjones6711]

@@PathofEvening I’m not a god gamer man, smashing things with a hammer sounded more fun to me.. how is it MY skill issue when melee was sold to me as fun when watching all the slam skills in the advertising. I’m convinced now that ranged is better, but I have no desire to repeat that content ever again. Even if ggg said we are now invincible in that content, I never want to step foot in there again. I hated every step of the way, it is unfun and the power boost was a total disappointment, I hated it and I’m never doing it again. I hated it I hated I hated I hated it

[@Rexolf101]

I have done trial of the sekhmas on 3 characters now and warrior was the middle one in terms of difficulty, and I've even done it up to floor 3 without much issue. You need to change your perspective to have a good time, this game is less about mindlessly smashing things and more about learning and getting better to earn your power fantasy. You need to be good at positioning in this game anyway, and that trial will teach you how to get better at the game

[@sethjones6711]

@@Rexolf101 are you for real! Lol I need to change my perspective?? That is your defense for this garbage system? Ok bro. You know what.. I’m wrong lol… shame on me

[@Shanopla]

Thank you for this. I'm still so sad with POE2. I get that it is EA. But even the basic design - gem system, tree, crafting etc. - all seem intentionally dumbed down towards a D4ish angle. I feel it went backwards not forwards. Hoping to change my views over time I was so hyped until I played it.

[@Alejandro-xk5ej]

"dumbed down", yeah as in cutting down on unnecessary complexities and convolution that didnt make the game better in any way. Just keep out, its okay, poe is still there.

[@Shanopla]

​@@Alejandro-xk5ej "POE is still here". Sure. But not for long if they cater towards the allure of more $$ and the masses like blizzard did instead of making good games and lose their core. Console, easy access to teens with playstations, systems that sacrifice intricacy of interplay for "first time player retention", easy to see where their focus is now.

[@nervani19tft93]

@@Shanopla I'm gonna hard disagree here.. all the maths and scaling numbers are there just like PoE1.. I'm curious as to what you mean catering to the allure of $$... they had a harder/longer/less forgiving campaign than PoE1 albeit better story and engagement wise... So far end game is ALOT less forgiving than PoE1 with loss of portals.. We are def going to see ALOT more in Endgame as our current version only has about 6 months of work into it. Almost all changes they have made in EA so far have been to balance "OP- ONE SHOT" builds to make sure players are playing as much variety as possible and to make good QoL improvements to the game

[@Shanopla]

@@nervani19tft93 Major flaws not minor ones tell te tale. The skill tree is elementary, crafting is a shadow of what it was, just so much loss of intricacy across the board . The game was clearly dumbed down to ease access whereas poe1 had a natural gate that catered to complexity lovers (maybe less of us than others - more people can play checkers than can play chess). Streamers will follow subs and money they have to buy in. But as I see it, this game went down on critical points that a little qol can't make up for - and it is sad to see.

[@tripleraze321]

@@Shanopla definitely disagree that the gem system is somehow leas complex than gem system in poe1. Different? Yes, less complex? No You have a main skill and 5 supports. Just like poe1. Don’t even attempt to insinuate that having to 6 link and 6 socket somehow made things better/more complex. If anything the fact that you can auto swap weapons to use multiple links makes poe2 more complex than the “one skill and stack damage” gem system of poe1 As far as crafting I agree, passive tree is also less complex without cluster jewels and masteries. Being compared to d4 levels of dumbed down is definitely an over reaction. Either you have forgotten how trash d4 is or you never played it. Either way that is a super L take. Like actually, a completely lost from reality level take.
