shit sounds awesome, but I don't understand melee buff. When I played leap slam duelist in 1 week it was the most awesome character I've had, even with 4L and third world gear. Everything was a faceroll solo, all the way up to act3 merciless. I would rather buff low levels of all spells, except EK. Spells simply aren't comparable to melee, and melee is extremely tanky with grace and IR and 75% elemental reduction is always easier to get than 75% physical. Oh and btw the rest of the spells aren't even comparable to EK. Take Arc for example, does three times less damage than EK and hits only 3 targets	Posted by zamppe#4000 on May 14, 2013, 5:09:35 AM Quote this Post
I just have to ask. How many devs is there in your team? You guyes seem to work at such an amazing speed compared to most/all big companies... I used to think minecraft got patches and good stuff fast a few years ago, but you guyes blow my mind. Fast and steady patches with high quality updates every time? Awesome! I'll be stuck checking this game out every now and then for YEARS to come. Funny how the big companies keep letting us down, but the "small fish" keeps bringing out awesome games.

You can see a fair amount of the team here! It's not quite everyone since GGG has expanded recently.	Posted by Michael_GGG on May 14, 2013, 5:51:20 AM Grinding Gear Games Quote this Post

My archer has way less damage than my elecleave witch.The enormous damage that you take is a problem though.The fact that when facing ranged monsters they spread and you've got to take them one by one is also a problem. To crit or not to crit ?	Posted by Slagmaur#4767 on May 14, 2013, 5:54:19 AM Quote this Post

Then again two granites of iron skin wins the game more or less Last edited by zamppe#4000 on May 14, 2013, 6:09:20 AM	Posted by zamppe#4000 on May 14, 2013, 6:08:24 AM Quote this Post

The problem that causes loot to not feel so rewarding is that crafting is very powerful. Almost all items that people have equipped come from crafting rather than drops. People enjoy crafting items and using their currency to do it, so we're not intending to make crafting weaker. This is definitely a concern we're looking to balance around in the coming months though. I'll post my 2c on this. Crafting is more powerful because until very late game you tend to pickup white item already linked and alch them. At least that's what i usually do. I may find an upgrade but delay it's use until it's really necessary to use it. I'd jewels/fuse it only if it's overwhelmingly good compared to the current item. On my shadow i found a 5L as soon as cruel city of sarn. Alched it once and used it until lvl 80 when i found an other higher ilvl 5L. tl dr: i mess with jewelers & fusing for 4L at most.

Fantastic. Just as I was starting to recover from my PoE addiction, you guys start talking about all sorts of exciting changes. Damn it! Real life will have to wait!	Posted by Lolcohol#4777 on May 14, 2013, 6:33:21 AM Quote this Post
Hi, Will the DPS tooltip of Rain of Arrow and Explosive Arrow be fixed in this patch? It is honestly a true pain not knowing what your actual DPS is and what items you should get unless you have a very deep knowledge about the game's mechanics.
