Yeah all m y resistance is below zero. Also, is there any penalties for dying?

5% of the EXP bar lost on death in cruel, 10% in merciless, no penalties in normal (other than the obvious hardcore penalty of being moved into standard league)
No wonder its been taking me a long time to level up.
Make sure you can identify the mods that rare mobs can have, since the higher difficulty the more different mods there are.
Already planned a pvp build for the marauder, hopefully the tree change won't hurt it.

From Cruel onward it's not unusual to grind areas to maintain a level equal to the zones you're in. When you've died a couple times you'll start getting underleveled making it harder and harder to keep up when you progress in the game.
My advice for players with little game knowledge that already think Cruel is a real pain to play through, focus on defence in the skill tree. Main priorities should be Life nodes and armor / evasion. All you need damage wise is having a good weapon equipped to keep up with the zones. Not dying is your main priotity, even if it means clearing zones at a slower pace. If you're glasscanon and you clear a zone fast but die in the end, you'll have to play catch-up and grind the exp back anyway.
Whats with fighting boss's and really hard enemies just to get shit tier armour and weapons? Also, can enemies teleport you? A lot of the time ill be a distance away from them attacking and out of no where I get teleported right into the middle of them all and die.
Getting shit loot is pretty standard for ARPGs.
That second thing is [url=http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Desync]desync.[/url] Basically your game and what's actually happening on the server get desynchronized for whatever reason, so on the server you're stuck in a group of mobs while on your screen you aren't. The game then resynchronizes and you go to where you actually are. It's easily the biggest (And really the only big) problem PoE has.
If you feel you're desynced (Taking damage from nothing, enemies not doing anything, ect.) you can open the chat and type in /oos to force a resync with the server. /oos has a cooldown of 10 seconds. You can use Autohotkey to make a script that does the /oos command for you with a single button press.

I'm tempted to just spend ~2 days and get to 70 just for a chance to win some free swag.

2 days to get to level 70? Its taken me weeks to get to level 40.
[QUOTE=Shirky;46594618]2 days to get to level 70? Its taken me weeks to get to level 40.[/QUOTE]
iirc someone did the challenge to get all the classes to level 65 in like 19 hours. People that have played a long time generally level really quickly because getting to maps is "where the game starts"
[QUOTE=Shirky;46594618]2 days to get to level 70? Its taken me weeks to get to level 40.[/QUOTE]
I was exactly the same when I first started playing a year ago. But I've spent almost 1000 hours in Path of Exile, leveling gets easy when you know every act, zone and quest by heart and if you pick up a cookie cutter build it's incredibly easy to hit a high level in a matter of hours.
Skipping all the alternative sidequests and doing the ones that grant you skillpoints later when you can rush through the zones also speeds up the process a lot.
awesome sale, the only question is now, $10 or $20
Man, I'm glad I don't play the temp HC leagues. Beyond is like, the opposite of fun.
[QUOTE=Teh Zip File;46597052]Man, I'm glad I don't play the temp HC leagues. Beyond is like, the opposite of fun.[/QUOTE]
I had heard it was bad but this is just annoying, not even sure I want to go for the low tier race milestones.
[QUOTE=Teh Zip File;46597052]Man, I'm glad I don't play the temp HC leagues. Beyond is like, the opposite of fun.[/QUOTE]
Beyond is filled with "EEHHH" AND "UEHHHH" mobs which gives me a headache so I really hope the next HC league will be more fun this time.
Honestly both leagues were pretty boring but Beyond was just frustratingly annoying. (fuck those screaming red bastards)

The next leagues sound much more interesting... I do kind of wish they kept [I]something[/I] from rampage/beyond for the core game though.

They always do. Most likely the Rampage and Beyond mods will be added to the map pool.

That would be nice, but I heard they were just going to keep them as rampage/beyond zana mods, which isn't as cool.

well rampage will be a zana mod because map mods have to be 'bad', they could do beyond as one though

Beyond is pretty good in maps, extra XP for killing Rare/Blue/Uniques that spawn. Rampage is pretty shit, wasn't very fun.
The Beyond mod is just a pain to level a character, but once you get decent gear and levels the Beyond mobs aren't really a problem anymore and are just bonus exp.

I can't stand leveling in the 1W race any more because of Beyond. "Oh, you like to aoe huge packs? Time to throw some tough enemies with insane damage to one shot your ass." For me it has turned in to kill stuff until Beyond spawns and run away. It would be neat in a map since by that time you should have the resources to bring them down easily.
I can't wait for Torment and Bloodlines, seems really fun and [b][u]a lot[/b][/u] better than Rampage and Beyond
Yeah, Rampage and Beyond have been the worst challenge leagues so far in terms of special league mods.
I really liked Nemesis, actually played the Hardcore league that time just because of the mod.
I liked Ambush a lot, even though the strongboxes were only scattered here and there they always felt fun and quite rewarding. Rampage has been... veery underwhelming in comparison.

I enjoy the process of rolling strongboxes, it's so rewarding when you get an 18Q Gemcutter's or additional items + item quantity on an Arcanist. The difficulty they pose is great, ice nova/corpse explosion doing insane damage and rogue exiles. It's a perfect piece of optional content. I hope they go the same route with Tormented spirits, make them optional so if you're very squishy or under geared for your current level/zone you can bypass them completely if you want.
[editline]2nd December 2014[/editline]
I'm making a preliminary build for 1.3.0 while I'm waiting for the new tree to release. Does reduced mana cost of skills function with auras? Such as Mental Fortitude and Dynamo nodes.
