I'm running a blood magic marauder but i want to start using some auras. Is there a way to make it not reserve so much life/mana ?

Drawing with gold was already used in Diablo 1 :)

Wanna hear a good joke? Waste your time helping me! LOL!
Just how varied can builds be in this game? You're ultimately working towards the big passive skills like Resolute Technique or Blood Magic right? Could it be possible that a lot of builds will be largely the same as each other just with tiny differences in paths you take to get to that skill?

Say a Resolute Technique build where you focus on Hammers instead of Swords or something.

Key stones are not ultimate passives. Those are mostly build changing keys.

I'm chickening out. I'll upgrade to Bronze instead of Silver. I didn't expect the extra $15 shipping fee, and that'll be on top of whatever customs fees I'll have to pay too.

Glowing kiwis are vastly overrated anyway
so jelly ;_;

Keystones are really just build-changing tools and not at all necessary. They enable some interesting and effective tricks when utilized properly, but you can get solely regular nodes and be just as strong. Builds in PoE really come down to gems and their links, with the skill tree supplementing them. There are plenty of strong keystones that get picked up on a regular basis (Chaos Inoculation, Iron Reflexes, Resolute Technique), but they're in no way needed to be viable.

After playing the closed beta for a few hours with Duelist and 1 hour with a Witch, I'll probably try to make this sword based dual wield duelist first.

It's nice to see people more interested in this game as it gets closer to open beta. I look forward to rolling a new character and seeing the changes. I haven't played in several months. :)

Does anyone feel like the initial loading is quite long?

I remember it used to be faster around 913 release.

The main file gets fragmented and has tons of wasted space. There is a defragger on the forums. It saved me like 600 mb.
Click to expand...

Hmm saved me 8 megs since I reinstalled not too long ago.

Initial loading is still 8s, and I'm on my SSD.

Do You have link to the topic with this tool? I cant find it and i need to do this :p
Click to expand...

http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/28060

And some instructions for the computer literate.

radiatoren said:
1. You need to run cmd.exe

2. Go to the location of your client.exe in the command prompt by using cd.. and cd <foldername> as commands.

3. Write "ggpk_defragment.exe content.ggpk content2.ggpk"

The program will take several minutes to finish. After it has finished it will tell you.

4. Go to the folder of your client.exe.

5. Change name of content.ggpk to contentold.ggpk

6. Change name of content2.ggpk to content.ggpk

Then you have done it right! :)

ps. I assume you have moved ggpk_defragment.exe into the path of exile folder, I assume that Client.exe and content.ggpk is in the same folder and that folder is the path of exile folder - anything else would seem illogical.

Do we know when the diamond supporter uniques are being added to the mix? And is it supposed to be in waves or all at once. Moreover, is there going to be a new tier of items with the release of open beta?

They are added as soon as they are ready.
Next tier could be added, because content is higher level, but i havent heard anything about that.

A lot of Diamond uniques are already in. They do a bunch at once in patches.

There's no doubt it will take time for the uniques to be made because it'll require a lot of balance testing.

There's 4 passives that reduce the amount reserved by 5% each I think.

Just checked, they're called "reduced mana reservation".

Damn, i looked through the skill tree for something like those and i didn't find any. The only negative of having such a large skill tree i guess, makes it easy to miss stuff.

Thanks.

Also, i bought in to support the dev and to ease myself in before starting to play properly when the ob starts but i couldn't put it down so my marauder is already lvl33, haha.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Well then...

Pay $1000 to devs and give them cool item ideas to better the game. Never experience it for yourself... I would be sad... But I'm also not out $1000 so what do I know. ;P
Click to expand...

It would suck. :lol It really wouldn't even bother me if they gave it to the creator, but I could see people bitching about it and the Devs just wanting to avoid that.
