[QUOTE=AnnieOakley;47733889]Imagine if this became an option for Zana's map mod. The cost being one mirror and the Item quantity going up by 120%.[/QUOTE]
A mirror seems a bit stupid since nobody is going to do that for only 120% quant bonus, but I could see it work for a couple exalts
I'd rather see a flashback unique map.
[QUOTE=ejonkou;47735529]I'd rather see a flashback unique map.[/QUOTE]
Oh maybe It'd include a boss rush end where you have to fight unique versions of each of the main act bosses in order. Also a design where you go through floors based on each part of the main acts. Maybe one act a floor where the maps local varies dependent on which part of the act its based on.
Staying 4 levels above the area most of the time, this league is the most fun one so far.

Woo, [url=https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1274695]lockstep patch[/url] is about to come out on the beta. Kinda sad they're going to do a wipe, I played the beta for like 5 minutes last night and found a multistrike :v:

Oh my god lockstep is so good. Being able to walk through giant packs of mobs without desyncing is amazing.
Obviously having zero desync is a great thing, but the effects of desync have been exaggerated so much that anytime anything goes wrong, people blame it. I have been playing this game for 3 years and have died maybe three times to actual desync, and those were preventable situations. It shouldn't really be affecting you at all through normal play.

90% of the time I play, and get into a situation where im fighting a group of mobs above 5, ill desync and be in a different place than what I can see, which when you get to end game, is an actual big deal, and can lead to plenty of deaths, easily.

How many melee-ranged builds have you played, because those tend to desync a lot more.
I remember playing a Fire Discharger in Torment and everytime I ran into a big pack I had to /oos after it.
Playing dominating blow character was a nightmare because you desynced nearly every time you attacked.

Demonstrates it fairly well, it was fairly likely you'd get at least some minor desync if you tried move around mobs like that.

I've died at [I]least[/I] three times to desyncing back into Dominus's touch of god.
I do think people exaggerate desync, but fighting Vaal/Dom with no fear of desync is goddamn amazing.

Daaaaaamn that looks so smooth and desync free. Putting off PoE because this desync shit is a huge turn off end game. Will there be a desync patch seperate from Awakening update or no?
Nope. It'll come out with Awakening sometime in June-July.
Latest beta patch added more gateways. They added Washington DC, California, London, and Amsterdam. (Or Frankfurt, I don't know where the EU one was before)
Went from 80-100 ping on Texas to 50-60 on DC.

My go-to build for new leagues is fb cyclone, and I have never had any issues. Oos will show you were desynched (even after walking around corners for 5 seconds) but it really has never affected my gameplay at all.
Cyclone is a bitch with desync. Considering all your damage is based on an aoe x radius from your character. I'm already seeing a price increase in my Atziri's Disfavour on standard since lockstep released. :v:
Seems like people are preparing for Awakening.

Well it doesn't have a deadzone now so it's already like 100 times better :v:
So it's basically Ice Nova now but lightning damage?
[QUOTE=MrFlashcat;47815047]So it's basically Ice Nova now but lightning damage?[/QUOTE]
Probably still deals shit damage at center and good damage at the edge

One of the GGG devs made this diagram:

Higher damage potential ice nova I guess.
Oh I see, damage falls off the further it goes
Cyclone cast on crit Shock Nova ayyy
ive been messing around with a crit static strike mace build and im at lvl 68 with 2.8khp and 18k dps
would two doryanis catalysts be worth it?

Probably not? Dual wielding isn't that great unless you're already specced into it. You'd be better off with some unique shield.

First time I've ever actually seen someone use a mirror :v:
I dunno man i get 41k dps now
nah, I think dual doryani's can be pretty sweet. it's just a trade off with defence vs shield
just remember that the increased modifiers sort of means it has diminishing returns

That's a pretty low HP number for a Melee build. I would really recommend a single Doryani combined with a good shield.
Having a ton of DPS is useless if you get oneshot, especially as a melee build. 18k DPS is perfectly fine at lv 68.
i have never managed to get over ~3k hp with any build ever
how can i link my character btw? so you can see the gear etc?
