That's basically what happened for me. I stopped somewhere in Act II on my Level 21 Witch cause I just didn't care. I'm not sure if playing with a friend would help but I guess I'd need some sort of push or incentive to make me want to bother going through the whole game.
I like to think that acts will make leveling a bit more enjoyable. I always get bored on act 1 merciless.
I need a favour. I am tempted to do the nicholas cage build, but all the trees I find at outdated

I started a new Witch and it's my first ever trap build. Decided to go with Firetrap because it's a very satisfying skill and also because I have an imba rolled Searing Touch 6L. Been gathering some gear over the past month or so(I posted my Sunblast Belt here) since I have been very casual when it comes to PoE. I have never really played a trap build before so I am interested in some feedback from people who have. I'm currently around level 50 with 600-950 Damage from trap explosion and around 700 DPS from degen. This is not taking the fire pen in to consideration.
I'm not sure if I should stick with my Sunblast or go for the new Atziri belt. The Atziri belt has 20-30% Fire Damage but also 1% Life Leech for Fire Damage. It would eliminate almost any need of HP Regen/HP Pots.

consider getting elemental equilibrium and just throw a lightning trap and proceed with a fire trap for a lot more damage
its kind annoying to do so, though, but still.
[QUOTE=leonthefox;44537637]What would be better for glacial cascade, cold to fire or added fire damage?[/QUOTE]
Cold to fire basically transfers damage from one element to the other.
Added fire ADDS damage based on the physical damage.
Added fire would be better

I think i'd rather stick with Fire trap. I'm curious to see what sort of damage I can get with a 21/20 Fire trap. Not including the +2 from staff and +1 from Empower.
is Cybil's Paw worth using over wands/maces if I am not going to get a lot of block chance nodes?
[QUOTE=leonthefox;44555848]is Cybil's Paw worth using over wands/maces if I am not going to get a lot of block chance nodes?[/QUOTE]
Nope. You can get 80-100%+ Wands pretty cheaply. Unless you're going to have very high block Cybil's Paw isn't really worth it, and in my opinion even with high block there are better choices. Cybil's Paw is cheap alternative for people with high block, getting 90% Spell Damage, Cast Speed and a nice chunk of mana for a few Chaos is always nice.
But yeah, just go on poe.xyz and find a nice Spell Damage wand.
I'm getting errors, like the game unable to load effects or music or the map alltogether, when I enter a new area, what should I do?

Those strongboxes do give you a ridiculously good loot, though. I am flooding over with armourer's scraps and blacksmith's whetstones.
Is this ok for a summoner? have yet to play as one.

New patch (v. 1.1.3)
[QUOTE][U][B]Version 1.1.3:[/B][/U]
[B]Content and Features:
[/B]
Added a new corrupted Skill Gem - Vaal Reave: Repeatedly attacks a large area in different directions. Each Vaal Reave that hits an enemy increases the area of effect.
Added a new corrupted Skill Gem - Vaal Haste: Casts a temporary aura that increases the movement speed, attack speed and cast speed of you and your allies.
Added a new corrupted Skill Gem - Vaal Discipline: Casts a temporary aura that grants energy shield to you and your allies and prevents energy shield recharge being delayed by damage taken.
Added a new Strength skill - Molten Strike: Attacks a target with physical and fire damage, causing balls of molten magma to launch forth from your weapon as you swing. These will explode, causing AoE attack damage to enemies where they land.
Added a new Intelligence skill - Convocation: Recalls all minions that are following you to your location and grants them a temporary life regeneration effect.
Molten Strike is a quest reward for "Enemy at the Gate" on Normal Difficulty for the Templar, Marauder, Duelist and Scion.
Convocation is a quest reward for "Enemy at the Gate" on Cruel difficulty for the Witch, Templar and Scion.
Added two new cosmetic microtransactions: Seraph Wings Back Attachment and Gore Glacial Cascade Effect.
The character creation process has been streamlined so that you have to select a character class before you can type in a character name. Some new players were struggling to understand the flow of this UI before.
Added four new Unique items, three of which were designed by supporters.
Added three new unique chests that can appear in the Ambush league.
Added two new achievements: Cut-throat and Dream Corruption.
Added two new recipes to assist early game summoners.
Changed the appearance of Kuduku, the False God to the Tiki Totem.
Added an option to constrain the mouse pointer to the window.
Added new versions of the Storm Call effect for monster usage of the skill.
Added a Shrine symbol for the Static Shrine.
Updated the loading screen for Map areas.
[B]Sacrifice of the Vaal and Invasion Challenge League Balance:[/B]
These changes reinforce the positive and popular elements of the new content and make the content more generally accessible.
We have continued to adjust Invasion and Corrupted Secret Area bosses. In general this has involved reducing the quantity of summons and reducing high spike damage, while retaining the pace changes and different tactics that players have praised.
Added new map mods to be used in Corrupted Secret Areas that are generally smaller versions of normal map mods. Some map mods have been removed from the Corrupted Secret Area pool.
Increased the relative drop rates of rarer Vaal fragments.
Increased the spawn chance of Vaal side areas by around 120% in the permanent leagues.
[B]Early Game Difficulty and Act 1 Boss/Monster Balance:[/B]
These changes are intended to remove some of the higher-variance negative experiences that can occur to new players in the early game, while retaining the essence and general difficulty of Path of Exile.
We have replaced Hailrake's Ice Spear with Glacial Cascade in all difficulties. His AI has been improved.
Removed the critical strike chance from monster versions of Firestorm in Normal difficulty.
Removed the critical strike chance from Blackguard and Rhoa Shield Charges in Normal Difficulty.
Removed the invulnerability period from Hillock when he is drawing his sword in all difficulties.
Reduced the damage, duration and radius of the zombie Poison Cloud on Death in all difficulties.
[B]General Balance:[/B]
Changed Reave stacks so they are shared between multiple versions of the skill, if a player uses multiple copies of the Reave gem.
Added a cap for Dodge and Spell Dodge of 75%.
Changed Life, Mana and Hybrid flasks to no longer be usable when they would have no function. That is, when there is no life and/or mana to recover and there is no on-use effect.
It is now possible to evade Antalie Napora's Vaal Burning Arrow.
[B]Bug Fixes:[/B]
Fixed a bug with Ice Nova and Cast on Critical Strike, where Ice Nova would do no damage when triggered by a critical strike of a projectile attack skill.
Fixed an issue where the Warrior Supporter Portal nameplate was shown in the wrong place.
Solved a situation where Vaal Summon Skeletons summoned fewer skeletons if the summoner had summoned skeletons from a standard Summon Skeleton skill.
Fixed a bug where an unset ring that was disabled by Thief's Torment would re-enable on having things socketed in or out of it.
Fixed a bug where Offerings were not affected by buff duration increases.
Fixed an issue where a momentary Grace Period buff was applied to users when using a teleporter.
Fixed an issue with the unique item Voidbringer where its 3d art causing certain animations to appear incorrect.
Fixed some bugs with items spawning from Strongboxes.
Improved the Bandit Respecs so that Eramir's dialogue now correctly updates when you alter your bandit decisions.
Fixed issues with environmental effects in the Scepter of God that commonly occured when re-entering the area after a death.
Fixed an animation problem with the Ranger that would occur when throwing traps while also holding a bow.
Fixed an issue with Torture Chamber boss room's exit teleporter not disabling once the boss had been engaged.
Fixed a bug where effects on off-hand weapons would flicker under certain circumstances.[/QUOTE]
Molten Strike has a pretty neat effect, it looks really pretty. It is also a lvl 1 gem, rewarded from killing Hillock.
I made a new character, and found a rare two handed axe that is really fucking monstrous at level 4. Two shotted Hailrake, I think this axe doesn't need to be replaced until level 10-20.

You beat me to the punch.
Anyways, I think this is a very good patch.
I realy need to play more PoE, but other things keep getting in the way.
I just got $50 of credit for this game, never played it so I might be willing to trade it for something if any you guys are interested
I was in Act 2, in The Old Fields killing some stone titans, there was Gneiss, the big unique titan, and right next to it was a rare stone titan with an aura. After killing those two I walked five steps and found another rare stone titan, after I killed it I heard stomping behind me, I walked there and saw yet [I]another[/I] rare stone titan and killed it. I thought that it was really odd to have that many rare titans in such a small space, and [I]then[/I] [URL="http://youtu.be/RRq7lLawQB4?t=48s"]this part of this song[/URL] comes since I was listening to music

Hardcore Endless Ledge event starts in 14 minutes, still time to create a character!
So any ideas what should I do to stop the crashes when entering a new area?
Also, I found vaal haste and vaal lightning warp, are they worth anything?

Two week race announcerment
[url]http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/915739/page/1[/url]
[quote]From May 10 to 24 (US time), we'll be running a two week Path of Exile Ambush/Invasion race event to benefit the Child's Play charity. Child's Play is a charitable organisation that raises money to provide toys and games for children in over 70 hospitals worldwide.
To support the charity, we're introducing an exclusive new helmet skin called the Angelic Mask. It's only available during the two week event and 100% of the proceeds will be directly donated to the Child's Play charity on your behalf. It's priced at $5 which is hopefully a nice easy amount that everyone is comfortable donating. It goes on sale when the event starts this coming weekend.
Event Prizes:
Due to the generosity of our gaming hardware partners, we have some awesome prizes to give out. We've tried hard to make sure that everyone has a chance to win these hardware prizes, so we've pitched them at lower levels of participation.
We'll pick winners randomly from the people who reach the following levels or higher. The prize levels continue to stack as you level up. You can win prizes from multiple tiers.
Prizes available in the random draw include:
Level 15: 100x Stash Tab Bundles
Level 20: 100x Premium Stash Tab Bundles
Level 25: 10x Razer Mice
Level 30: 5x Razer Keyboards
Level 35: 5x NVIDIA High-performance Graphics Cards
Level 50: 10x Sets of all Seraph Microtransactions (Armour pieces, Wings, Weapon Effect and Footprint Effect)
Level 65: 5x Sets of Signed Prints of Original Early Concept Art
Level 85: 1x One hour private Q&A on Skype with Chris, Jonathan and Erik
In addition, the top 5 players (ranked by experience) will receive an Alternate Art Demigod's Bounty unique item.
Specific Information:
This event has the properties of both the Ambush and (recently rebalanced) Invasion challenge leagues. That means that you'll encounter enchantable Strongboxes, guest monsters and Invasion bosses as you compete. It's parented to the Invasion league, so you'll be able to continue your character in that league once the race ends.
The two-week race will start at 1pm PDT on Saturday, May 10 and end exactly two weeks later at 1pm PDT on Saturday, May 24. This is 4pm EDT, 10pm CEST and 8am Sunday morning in New Zealand.
It's good to arrive ten minutes early to create a character in the right league. Just run Path of Exile, log into your account and you'll see the event on the list below the character list (from around half an hour beforehand). Click "Join" and create a character in the event. You won't be able to move until the event starts.
Race events like this are a self-contained economy - you won't be able to access your existing characters or stash. When the event ends, your race characters and stash will be moved to the Invasion league. If any characters die during the race, then they will be moved to the Standard league.
If you're interested to read more about the rules of race events, check out this link.
While it is a hardcore event, which means that your character is eliminated when it dies, we've made sure that dead characters will still receive prizes. There's nothing stopping you from pushing for the highest prize tiers and giving it another shot if you want to try to beat your previous character.
Other Rules:
The single highest level character in this league on your account will be considered.
Do not enter with multiple accounts - this will disqualify you.
GGG Staff members are not eligible for prizes.[/quote]
Guess I will be rolling trapper, since it's one of the saffest builds I have tried so far.
Has anyone played a molten strike build? if so would you really recommend it for the 2 week race?
Tempted to roll that over traps.
possibly, but there are better builds for it than the one in the build of the week
