    I cannot wait to see the bow rework for 3.9. I am hoping we see a phys rework where bleed/impale becomes even more viable.

    I think that snare is going to make bleeds real strong.

    The supporter packs for me are a way to say 'damn ive played this game for a shitload of time...and it was free. I'll happily pay you what i would have paid for a 60 console game that lasts less than 20 hours.

    The stash upgrades are the 'now this is too convienent for me not to have. if only they would fix the damn 'merging' problem when a character goes from league to standard'.

    Eh, it's annoying, but last I checked, D3 has the same issue.

    After the second time trying to deal with merging my season shit with my regular shit in D3 I just decided it was easier to never play anything but season ever again and to just let the non season stuff rot

    This has served me well in PoE

    Maybe something similar but Diablo never let you expand your stash. the problem with Diablo was you had tons of alts just acting as mini-banks . In POE's case I have like 30 tabs that just get copied over into standard that i have to go through and clear out completely before they will go away, and the specialized tabs, while super useful, are a pain to empty out and merge with your standard tabs. Like, the Unique tab you have to manually remove every item from it, or the currency tab which takes several trips in and out of the tab cause a stack of currency only goes up to like 20.

    One thing I'd definitely pay for in PoE is a stash sorting tool

    Make it some kind of magical imp if it needs a theme but let me be like "okay organize these specific tabs" and then it just does it

    Being able to tell it how to organize them would be nice but I don't necessarily even care how it groups things as long as there is some kind of logic to it

    Being able to filter things is amazing and every game with a stash that doesn't have that option has severely fucked up, but also I'm very lazy

    I think something as unspectacular as tab sorting shouldn't be any kind of MTX, even if I wouldn't mind paying for it. If they can make it work but it takes some coding time, that is something for them to put in for free or not bother with. Also: MORE TAB ROWS PLEASE. One row for all the special tabs, one for the regulars/normal premiums.

    There's a tech limitation currently in that stash tabs don't load up until you've interacted with that tab. This is done to reduce loading times when you go to your hideout. You can test this yourself by tossing a map in after you're done running a map. If you don't have the chaos on your person, you can't add a zana mod. Once you interact with your currency tab, it will auto-pull from there. But it won't until then.

    I think this is fixable by having the game just preload your various currency tabs and adding a dump'n'sort button for currency. E.g. fossils to fossil tab. But GGG seems very reluctant to do this.

    Well its not like standard has no purpose. while leagues obviously change a lot, you can still at least plan out new builds and test to a point on standard in the time between leagues, so collecting stuff for that purpose makes sense.

    The library dude always requires you to bring currency.

    Hm, I was thinking about rolling up a character for the league, but PoE is like the ultimate game for generating choice paralysis.
    Female characters only, because
    Pure summoners don't seem fun to me, so that's the meta out.
    Cyclone looks silly, I can't. Also, anything you don't have to aim is sorta unsatisfying to me. Unless it, like, chains or spreads in some satisfying way vs being a big round aoe.

    Dominating Blow necro? Maybe?
    Frost blades raider?
    Consecrated path...something?
    Was Chain Hook worth trying, in the end?
    Still wanna try to make one of the Steel (Lancing/Shattering) skills work
    Ice Nova with frostbolt looks neat
    Lightning Tendrils cwc Arc? Or just self-cast arc? Is this new Cobra thing just dex melee-weapon Arc, should I try that?
    Blade Flurry, maybe?
    Like, anything with a big boom of melee aoe that I have to aim at least sorta, like Tectonic Slam/Earthquake/Ice Crash/Sunder. Just give me Bowling Bash from Ragnarok Online, basically.
    I was wondering if there was like a grenade skill, but I guess various explody traps are the closest thing. That might be fun.

    It might help if I had any concept of how builds scale/how much they cost to work, but I don't.

    By the league do you mean Metamorph, or are you wanting to play Blight for less than 4 weeks?

    Cobra Lash is not like Arc at all, in that it's a poison skill and the bigger DPS requires a couple seconds or ramp to achieve.

    Actually, it was pretty trolly of GGG to update poison skills in a league whose mechanic best rewards instant death. That's partially why I fell off of 3.8 -- my Cobra Lash character wasn't clearing Blights consistently despite posting 2.8 Million Shaper DPS after 2 seconds.

    I've been consumed by Death Stranding lately, but I got my Ice Shot archer up to mid tier maps and still going strong.

    Had a Chayula's Breachstone drop from a breach incubator, so I managed to get a 5 linked Hyrri's Ire! This build runs a TON of uniques, so I'm starting to have issues with low life total and staying resist capped. I can see my rares getting more and more expensive as I get closer to red maps...

    impale is just a debuff that increases damage done by physical hits (by a stupidly large amount)

    My build doesn't stack bleed damage, it uses bleed damage to stack physic proj hits. The bleed damage itself is negligible.

    Crimson Storm is a potentially 300-350 phys bow, plus 50% chance to maim on crit, plus 60-100% increased flask charges. It's absolutely insane and a little phys buff with impale, crit, and attack speed will turn it into an absolute fucking monster.

    I may even switch out Pride for Precision. I hope they do some Ranger ascendancy reworking to Deadeye.

    Just some stuff about Atlas changes in 3.9. Most of this was revealed during ExileCon
    Most important:
    Shaper and Elder influence are no longer found on your Atlas. Shaper and Elder items will still be accessible through their usual means such as some league rewards, divination cards and drops from the Shaper and Elder encounters and Guardians. You will occasionally be able to obtain maps that have Shaper and Elder influence through the use of Scarabs, as well as maps that have a modifier which applies influence to the area. Shaper's Strongholds will also cease to exist. Shaper's Orbs and Elder's Orb will no longer be obtainable and existing orbs will be destroyed. Unshaping Orbs and Cartographer's Seals will no longer be usable.

    Shaper Guardian Maps are no longer found on the Atlas. Instead, you will be able to find them through Zana missions. They will continue to drop their unique items and fragments. Combining each of the Shaper Fragments will continue to open portals to The Shaper's Realm. If you're interested in obtaining the Celestial Hideout, you'll want to do so before these changes, as access to the Shaper encounter is likely to be more difficult and expensive than it is currently.

    Elder Guardians and The Elder will occasionally replace the Map boss of various Zana mission maps. Both Shaper and Elder will have a chance to drop fragments. Combining these fragments will open portals to the Uber Elder encounter.
