Last night I tried to play POE, again, because Syt's recommendation to use Wrecker's build.

:( I can't do it. Sustain clicking hurts my hand too much. I played for ~30mins & it hurt for hours.

You can keep the button pressed, you know? :)

More seriously, check his Zombie build. Might be better for you since it doesn't require you to use an active skill all the time as your minions are persistent.

Sadly, that's the main problem. A sustained click is worse than sustain clicking. I wasn't cleared enough.

Is using a gamepad feasible? Since the game is also on consoles, I would imagine that the PC version also supports pads.

For me? Yes.

Sadly, PC PoE doesn't support controllers, like Diablo 3.

I've played Console PoE but it's not the same.

This isn't the first genre that my fucked up hand is keeping me from playing. I'll get use to it.

Holding hope that Diablo 4 PC supports controllers out of the box. Also, hopefully Torchlight 3 comes to Xbox Gamepass like the console version did.

I didn't know this was a thing. I'll have to try it. Thanks CC.

Hope it helps.  I use it in all my games that require continuous or repetitive pushing of a mouse button.

One click and a brief hold will keep the mouse button held.  To remove just click again.

At level 82 now with my summoner/ice elementalist. Pretty smooth so far. Just napping at a gingerly, relaxed pace.

I really like this league mechanic. The rituals loot table is pretty generous and it lets you put items on lay-away in case you don't have enough points to buy it after you complete all the rituals on a map. It's enough of a carrot to keep me mapping when I otherwise might start to get bored. I put a Primordial Might jewel on lay-away because I didn't have enough points to buy it, but as soon as it comes up again I'll be roughly 150 chaos richer.  :D

Still only in act 7, but still waiting for anything useful for my char to show up in Ritual rewards. :P

(Well, there was a ring I used for an Act or two.)

Don't play much on workdays, so I'm still at tier 4. About level 80.

I'm enjoying Ritual a lot more in maps. I like the rewarding system, and shit's actually dangerous for my character. The combination with Beyond is especially hilarious.

I'm really looking forward to the Maven fights and the map ascendancies.

One thing I really like is Ritual sometimes gives delirious maps. That's great for someone that rarely gets to the point where Delirium Orbs are worth using.

This is something I might try after it gets further in development - multiplayer is not yet implemented.

But This is a review that caught my attention:

QuoteA fantastic blend of the best parts of Diablo and Path of Exile and a refreshing experience after the disappointment of Wolcen. As a long time ARPG fan starting in 2000 with Diablo 2 I feel that this is the closest a modern ARPG has come to reaching the heights of Diablo 2.

Yeah I've been following that one and it looks promising. Hopefully it comes together nicely when it's out of early access.
