Betrayal just isn't fun

yeh imma head back to std after i get my 90 then maayybe do 1 matermind if i can do it with out being a total fuck up

how do i be less shit at this game when they keep filling it up w crap?


but rly other than this crap i rly like the incursion/bestiary/craft/ho/delve etc stuff so std is fun n prolly will be where i stay if the league stuff keeps getting crap like this

Trying to play a nice mapping build, sadly my maps get invaded by fuckers that are each much stronger than the boss of the map. Let me quickly run into a fort with 3 of those fucks to engage with the content :) no.

Yeah people, reality check for u. Ur builds suck in a degree that cant even deal with nerfed syndicate members. Its time to improve or just skip the encounters. Its ez.

You're the one that seems to have no grasp on reality, Mrs Elitist. Reality is that the % of players running a top tier build is very small, and while desiging content for a tiny % of the playerbase is just fine, it has to be endgame content. Designing content that's present in virtually every zone to be beatable and/or enjoyable only by a tiny % of the playerbase is stupidity.

Yes, lots of people are doing exactly that, skipping the encounters. A significant part of the playerbase is not interacting with the current league mechanics. That's a problem and indicates poor league design.

or it showcases just how easy the game has gotten and how lazy/entitled/bad/etc the players now are.

2800 HPs and uncapped ele resists in maps ??? what ?
You're running with a complete unoptimized character, stuff will kill you.
This league finally introduces things that punish players running such chars,there are likely tons of things to improve your char ..... yet, /ragequit ?

...

Because I'd love to hear how you think this can be improved mr elitist.

Feel free to tell me what's wrong. And how I can "optimize" more.

Let's admit what the word really means. "Why aren't you playing a meta build?"

Or does it mean we play path of life nodes? I'd love to get more of those, but as you can see I've virtually taken every one near me. And the only way to get more would be to respec out of minion buffs or DPS, so what then?

Or was I wrong to think that using a tool given as a drop (that rare jewel and the ES nodes converted to armor to up my phys resist) was a bad build choice and poor use of points? I mean god forbid we actually try something outside the metas right?

And I'll state it again because it clearly got missed the first time. I don't need capped resists or to "optimize" because my dps FROM TOTEMS ALONE before I even pile on raging spirit, skeletons, firestorm, and Armageddon brand is enough to burn map bosses to the ground and burned down every boss in the game, even act 10 kitava with a combined 2 deaths.

Unlike the 10+ syndicate one shots I took across beating the main story.

As for the resists. Again I'd love to cap them, but again I'm wearing uncraftable uniques in a league where crafting seems to play a major role (provided I can even get veiled items to drop...) So how pray tell do I get my resists capped in this scenario? Much less get chaos resist. And again. why is it that it's max resist or gtfo? That's not optimizing, that's mandatory because of overtuned damage levels.

That's the problem here, and betrayal highlights poes biggest flaw. You hit a point where a build that in any other RPG would be optimal in terms of DPS armor and resist. Augmented by a collection of unique items to compliment the builds skills would be enough to grind through the content.

PoE? - LOL have a oneshot, did you seriously think 50% DR was enough? you're cute. Meta or GTFO.

Any other game a glass cannon build for instance has an acceptable risk/reward ratio. And tank builds trade DPS for resist and high armor. Leech builds rely on dps output to survive. But all of them fall flat when the syndicate does so much damage the glass cannon is paste, the tank may as well be naked, and the leech can't outpace the hits because of sheer overtuned burst damage.

So let me ask you and your fellow WAT troll a simple question.

When a build can walk over the main game without any issue whatsoever. Yet can't even DPS trash mobs outside a fort, and loses 2800 life in two hits. Do you seriously want to tell me with a straight face that's good game balance?

Optimization my ass.

There's a difference between "play a meta build" and "optimize your gear/build".

Your tree does not have enough life nodes. Drop DpS nodes, optimize your pathing, grab the scion life nodes. 2800 life is way too low in maps. I aim for 6000+ on every build I make.

If you cannot even get your resists capped, wear fewer uniques. Capped resists are not optional (if a monster does 4000 fire damage, you are expected to only take 1000. With 50% resist you take 2000).

You are getting oneshot so often because you are not ready yet.
It's that simple.

Betrayal is honestly the worse league I have played since I started POE back in Talisman league (Though perandus was the first league I played - I was in standard for Talisman learning the game)

I could make a long list of what is wrong with this league, but I am sure I would just be echoing those before me. It is simply garbage.

I swear if Syndicates go core, I'm quitting this trash hahahahaha, you can build soo much defense to counter these Syndicates, but there's always 1 shots out of nowhere, at the most BS times. If anything the Syndicate members simply shouldn't gain all map mods, as they're already broken asf. On top of Gloomfang spawns and all the other adds that count toward the clusterf**k that's Betrayal encounters.

This is my fear, and I am right there with you. I wont have this nonsense in core. I have a RIDICULOUSLY over tuned defensive character (8600 life, 60%+ Phys dam mitigation, 50% block etc etc) and the encounters are still WAY TOO dangerous. If this goes core without a major nerf bat, unfortunately, I think I have to walk away from POE.

Optimization my ass.

1. put jewels in your 2 empty jewel slots (assuming they're actually empty like your link shows)
2. more defense
3. higher ehp
4. pick either specializing in minions OR ele damage. you're halfassedly in both, which isn't going to be good for either.

i can't see your gear/gems, so that's based off your tree that you linked.

this isn't rocket surgery, and your attitude makes this rather hilarious. you're just so sure that your build is top notch and sarcastically ask how it can be improved...

*facepalm*
