I havent encounter queues yet.
i think I'm in one right now, just when I was about to activate a WP, then died. Now I'm stufk on the loading screen
or it just crashed.
I got one of these. Cast time is very slow though, you need like a quality 20% to get the same cast time as a regular scroll. Its worth abit i believe.
Oh man, I hope I get lucky and get one of those. Do those work like regular portal scrolls as in you can go back to the area you portaled from?
I'm at the Dominus fight on normal with my lvl 36 ranger and he just murders me. I need to get some better gear and level up. Or posse.
34k is considered a ton?

I cannot, for the life of me, get this game to start properly. Just stays at the initial loading screen. This a problem for anyone else?
What do you guys think of this skill build? Vaal Pact/CI Duelist
I plan on using Blood Rage, Reave, and Frenzy to build charges and then Blad whirl (or some other teleport) and discharge to blow dudes up.
In passives I'm focusing on duel wielding claws with atk speed, accuracy, and crit for offense. Avoidance, energy shield, and life/mana drain for defense.
For keystones I'm getting ondar's guile, ghost reaver, chaos innoculation, and vaal pact. (obviously CI and VP are super late game)
Some things I wasn't sure about: Is acrobatics any good? How does the chance to dodge attacks worth with avoidance? Seems like it could be good especially if you went all the way and got 30% chance to dodge spells. My idea is that it with a ton of avoidance, ondar's guile, and acrobatics, maybe my energy shield could recharge between hits because I'm dodging so much (plus it's filling up with ghost reaver).
Also, Master of the Arena (+2 melee weapon range) and leather and steel (ignore all movement penalties from armor). Those sound very unique and possibly a big deal, but I'm really not sure if they're worth it... I could put those 4 points into more crit chance or resist or something... I just don't know.

How long do wait? That screen always takes atleast 2 minutes for me tog et through.
at the same time ? yes.
It's in Steam top10 currently and still game isn't really reviewed by major sites like IGN.
When reviews will hit that should jump a lot.
Leave it on this screen for a while.
If you have older HDD it can take a while to load.
On my HDD i used to load in like 2 minutes. Now on SSD it is more like 14 seconds.
You do not know? How come? You wrote it yourself: they are a big deal, and worth absolutely more than 2 point value of crit chances/dex nodes/raw dmg. Both makes you more effective and make your character more fun to play, so...yeah, pick them up.
thats only the steam client.
On launch day the non steam client had 24k while steam had 13k (posted from Chris Wilson @ reddit) . More people use the non steam client, maybe not on GAF but overall yes.
Yea, I just wasn't sure because I don't know how far "+2 melee range" is or how much of a movement penalty you get from armor.
Valve has said that usually concurrent stands for 10-20% of the different people that connect each day as well, so the game is doing great numbers =)
Yeah, EVE Online has 8-10x active accounts to number of concurrent users in peak. So Valve's statement is definitely true.
How viable is it to use Orbs of Regret to change your build? Are they somewhat easy to get or is it something you have to farm for?Planning a character is a big part of PoE but if it's your first time playing the game it can be quite hard to plan far ahead. I would suggest on deciding upon a class, style of play (ranged, melee, caster, tank?) and then taking a look on the tree and making some build around 40-50 points which you think would be sensible. You can then show it to us and get some constructive feedback OR you can go on and play it on your own
They are useful if you wanna refund smaller number of spent points because they are not that common. Don't expect to hit level 60 and have 60 Regrets to use them for full respec - you'll probably have around 10, maybe 15 by then.
Also, new unique:
Lovely art, imho.

As I later found out. Not a big fan of that, but it seems easy to get online.
Hmmm, might buy it tomorrow.

Thats so OP.
Took the animate weapon skill from the guild stash and it isn't as impressive as I thought it'd be. Weapons seem to dematerialize after a short distance or they're just as squishy as the summons I already have. Ugh. :/
I still gotta complete act 2 but I want to get the Waypoints in it but people just rush through areas it pisses me off.

Considering there are probably roughly that many again playing it through the game client that don't show up on Steam stats, yes.
Hey guys was wondering what you think of this build for my end game HC ranger?
Keep in mind..my ranger is already lvl 59 and had BM long time ago. This is what I am thinking of going @ lvl 59

34k! Nice. Glad the game is doing well
On launch day I couldn't even launch the game through steam. Kept timing out. I suspect over time it will start to favor steam.

Nice! I take its imperfect too since its only 8% magic resist instead of 12% like normal Prismatic Rings?
GGG have always grandfathered legacy items after significant EDIT:nerfs. 4L original facebreakers are obscenely expensive, though.
EDIT2: Keep in mind, for those of you posting builds, that in order to get to 120 passive points you'll literally have to hit level 100 (which only five people have done to date) in addition to
killing all three bandits in all three difficulties, which is generally not recommended since you'd have to be dumb to pass up 40 base life in normal or your applicable bonus in cruel.
Ok, so how does this ranger setup look?
http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-...-n8s6UjJ-TZJ07XrvYEsFLcRYJ9Vv8jnUoJ8k_edU1QA=
I saw some videos of people that had mana disabled and had skills consume HP instead (and they'd carry like four HP flasks). It seemed like a neat and easier way to manage things. I tried to hit up any HP or HP Regen nodes on the way. I also did the Frenzy nodes since it seems like a handy skill for spamming quickly.
The one thing I'm not sure about is if I should be doing anything else offensively on the tree. Or do I leave all of that work for the gear/crystals? Also, it currently says 29 points left. What is that, around level 70?
Also, is there any site with good (and tested) builds?
And if I use a Regret orb, I can only delete nodes that are at the end of a path, right? I've seen some builds out there that make it look like they removed nodes from the middle (like if you have nodes A B C D F, C and D are missing), but that has to be some sort of glitch on the tree viewer, right?
Thanks for the help.

80 points isn't that much though. I had almost 80 points at level 60, you can get up to 81 points at level 60. I would say like level 75 is considered proper endgame, minus 3 points for bandit rewards thats like 93 points.
Oh, and I also want to ask, but is it true that Evasion makes survivavility really tough on the harder modes? I put Iron Reflexes because it was suggested, and it seems like facetanking would be possible with it.
End node. You can't break a path.
End node but if you manage to make a loop connection on the web you can start removing nodes from the middle.
for example this strength node can be refunded.
Evasion isn't random. If your evasion is 80%, you will always be hit exactly one out of every five attacks. So, even if you get your evasion up to 95%, you're still going to be trucked every so often.
Armor always applies to attacks, so it's more predictable. However, the higher damage a single hit is, the less your armor will affect it. So armor will help you tank most enemies, but massive hits from rares/bosses will go right through it unless it's incredibly high.
Most people consider armor safer in the late-game, because at least you'll know the situations where damage will spike through armor and can prepare appropriately.

You take iron grip but you don't have that much strength nodes.
Also, running auras with blood magic on HC is a bad idea.
Ranger.
Than what build do you suggest? I been sitting here trying to figure out what to spend my points on (lvl 59 ranger). I was BM when I last played...like many months ago and I have learned over the last week is:
Acrobatics is worth it now (possible phase shift is)
If you take Blood Magic you shouldn't have auras (true?)
