I can't believe this, my 2 day old LA character is like 80% stronger compared to my Talisman LA character, it's insane how my frenzy dps is at like 45k~ with max frenzy charges, and i'm not even close to amazing gear at the moment, i'm even more survival.
(Might have something to do with ultra cheap drillneck + buffed pierce gem)
Ascendancy rules.
EQ is comically good for levelling. I have no idea why I would play absolutely any other melee skill when this exists, except MAYBE reave.
I think lab as-is would be fine difficulty wise IF it wasn't tied to ascendancy points. Currently I feel it's just too much to expect from the average player. It takes too long and the penalties for dying are way too harsh.
I like that izaro is hard but the issue is that its STILL hard when you're 10 levels over. I mean I'm sure it's fine for some characters but my character was easily going through act 4 content and malachai but izaro was still hard
well honestly since the lab is an optional area and the rewards are f*cking magnificent, i don't mind the risks being high. They already nerved the hell out of malachai, atleast keep Izaro as is

but it's not at all optional as long as it's linked with the core focus of this expansion... ascendancy classes are pretty important
I don't think Izaro is that bad. Just don't let him carry any buffs over to the next fight.
Once I have a bit of currency on this league I wanna try an ancestral guardian build, hatred and anger linked to generosity, and using some lightning skillgem to proc EE

fuck you vorici
Merciless Izaro should be a very real challenge. The last two points in your Ascendancy tree are usually a "cherry on top" sort of situation, so I have no problem with that.
BUT, Cruel Izaro is definitely a bit overtuned right now. Going into that fight with 4000 life, fortify, 4 endurance charges, max resists, and flasks, and still taking 2000+ hits is a little overboard for cruel. Obviously you want to just not get hit in the first place but there's not a lot of leeway there for when you do take a hit.
if anybody is playing 2h maces in sc perandus and doesn't have a marohi yet, hmu ingame. i've got a 375pdps mace for you.
Finally got home and updated to play after an emergency trip to the other side of the country. So this is what it feels like to be broke again. My stash looks so lonely.

I don't get it, I didn't find him hard, even if he got my hp pretty low, I still beaten him by playing very damn carelessly :v:
lab is supposed to be a gateway into act 4 because of the difficulty jump between act 3 and 4, but right now it's content you should be accessing after you get to act 2 of the next difficulty.

Looks like Vorici has finally ascended.
So i'm doing CoC and I got the 0.5% base crit per powercharge, and now im crit capped at level 55.
For shits and giggles i'm now running Cyclone-CoC-Life Leech-Cold Snap-Discharge.
The result?

I still discharge and cold snap freeze everything to death though.
Just looked at my profile and got this feeling that I'm single handedly paying Chris' salary :v:

Damn, someone reached 100 in PHC already. That's fuckin' crazy.
Getting to level 100 went from taking people months, to a month, to two weeks... to 6 days :v:
To be fair they made it easier with every single update
so I've pretty much given up on my ice crash character.
the idea was pretty solid; use a 50% ele conversion attack + phys to lightning for full ele conversion, using bringer of rain and hierophant's helmet ele pen for a super cheap effective 8-link
ice crash feels badass but the 25% less attack speed and no multistrike killed it for me. the wind-up is sooo long, getting stunned is brutal and fast enemies just run out of the aoe before it comes down... now I know how oversoul and voll feel :(
not sure what character to play now though, I'm tempted just to play the exact same duel wield cleaver I did last league, but I want to do something that actually uses an ascendency class to good effect
earthquake :^)

He went from like 95-98 in a session... Also his original account got banned for map hacking.
And others have been banned for cheating with item crafting. They were able to exalt items, crash the instance and rollback the result if it wasn't a desired result...
2.2.1 notes

[quote]Version 2.2.1
Features:
Introduced the Solaris Mystery Box! It will be available during the Perandus Challenge Leagues. Thanks for your generous support!
The Guardian of the Mound has returned to the Prisoner's Gate in Normal difficulty. The normal version is weaker and uses fewer skills than his harder counterparts.
There are now icons to show when Flesh Offering and Bone Offering affect you.
Labyrinth Changes:
Izaro has been adjusted to be easier in Normal Difficulty. His life has been reduced by 20%. Izaro's Ground Slam and Radiant Slash now deal 10% less damage. The life of Gargoyles, Idols, Portals (Thresholds), Essences, Fonts and Lieutenants has been reduced by 20%. The Goddess of Justice's Mortar Barrage has been reduced by 20% damage, and she no longer uses Teleport. These changes only apply to Normal difficulty.
A "You are here" hover has been added to the Labyrinth progress map.

Argus is now immune to guillotine traps.
Darkshrines with significant load times on the client have been disabled for now.
Various broken exits have been fixed.

Perandus League Changes:
Enabled the Perandus Manor map. This map can be sold by Cadiro in Tier 5 and above maps for 2500 coins. We hope you enjoy exploring its secrets!
Perandus Guardians that are revived will provide experience when slain for a second time. They stop granting experience when they've been revived two times.
Several significant improvements have been made to the performance of Perandus monsters.
Effects on the Perandus monsters have been toned down. Several changes have also been made to improve performance via preloading.

Writhing Worms no longer grant souls to players with Soul Eater.
Fixed a bug where Writhing Worms could grant flask charges when players had Increased Flask Charges Gained.
Fixed the position of a strength skill near the Duelist start location to be within the large radius of Jewel slots. Strength-based threshold jewels can be used there once again.
Fixed an issue where the wrong effects played on microtransaction versions of Rain of Arrows, Mirror Arrow and Blink Arrow when supported by Trap or Mine.
Fixed an issue with an inactive teleporter on the Volcano map.
Fixed a bug where party members couldn't see your actions when you used non-sword skills with Varunastra.
Fixed a bug with the "... of Force" Enchantments which could disable audio.
Fixed a bug where the Perandus Footprints effect faced the wrong way.
Fixed several issues with Strongboxes, Perandus Chests and Cadiro spawning on traps.
Fixed an instance crash related to Essence Drain.
Made some small improvements to client graphical performance.
NOTE: This patch will most likely change today's Labyrinth layouts.[/quote]
Good, now maybe I can see what the hell is happening when I come across a chest instead of it being a one colour rave
