Path of Exile - upcoming F2P Daiablo clone

[frunk]

Holy shit, just got the most valuable drop I've ever had, a Fishing Rod!

Leveled a cyclone leech slayer over the weekend. I'm unable to finish the final labyrinth at the moment. Fecking traps.

I'm mid 70s with a FaceBreaker/Dancing Duo Consecrated Path build.  The big problem with Consecrated Path builds is similar to Flicker Strike.  I have trouble seeing where I land after a bunch of jumps if there's a lot of enemies/visual stuff going on.  On maps that can get you into trouble.

My problem is I'm used to leap slam/cyclone across maps. So traps that damage you when you use a movement skill (which both count as) is a quick death if you don't pay a lot of attention. 

Vaal Pact with no health regen doesn't help, either.

The enemies in Labs are generally pretty easy except for Izaro.  Maybe swap out Cyclone for some other attack skill then swap it back in for the Izaro fight.

Or I could just remember to use ancestral war chief to disable some traps and just run through the rest. I do have pretty high walking speed.

The most extreme solution would be to ditch Vaal Pact then add it back in just before Izaro.  Is it worth 3 Orbs of Regret?

[Syt]

Maybe. I mean the league is ending soon, anyways.

So Blight League has been announced.

By far this is the most exciting part of the teaser:

To support all the new skills that are available, we have added an additional bar of skill bindings.

Hm, never been a big fan of tower defense ... 

I was thinking of rolling Shadow or Scion, though, as these are the only classes on which I haven't played through the campaign yet.

I like Tower Defense (waiting patiently for the latest GemCraft) but I'm not convinced that it'll work in PoE.

Interested to know what changes they are going to make to the witch summoner class

[Iormlund]

I might be going summoner this league. Perhaps Solar Guard specter with a Lightning Spire trap or something to boss. I'm guessing Soulwrest and Arakaali's Fang will be quite expensive.

My biggest problem is altholism. I might restrict myself to a single league character and use the dozen high level characters I have on standard to do long term stuff I never get to (boss-killing, delving, etc).

[crazy canuck]

I normally just get to mapping with one character and then stop.  I like trying out the new mechanics/skills in each league but after getting to mapping it just feels like repetitive run after repetitive run.
