Been away for awhile - what's new?

Hi all, I've been away from the game for a long time. I never got very far in it, my shadow making it to level 40 - and I stopped playing around February or January. I had a lot of fun playing, but my itch for pvp gameplay led me to playing a ton of League of Legends. I've been reading some of the patch notes and new spells/items added to the game, and it looks like a lot has been put into the picture.

I left because my Shadow, who I wanted to make a melee build, was feeling very weak, and would do far better just putting int-based ice spells on him, even though I was spec'd for melee. I didn't want to reroll, and I didn't know what else to do to make my character more viable, but I understand they've changed things a lot for melees since then.

Anyone able to give me insight on the changes? Simply reading the patch notes doesn't put the changes into context, and with it being so long that I've been away from the game, it's hard to put it to a practical sense.
Ele cleave is dead. Physical cleave is viable.

EK is dead.

RF - FP - Shavrones is still OP.

CI-Discharge is popular


Shadow is a viable melee in standard & anarchy if you do the correct build and have the correct gear: see http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/361144

"[0.11.2] Dual Dagger CI, 100K aoe dps, can faceroll any mods.Videos of lvl 70+ maps, Anarchy guide" is described in that link

Don't play judge, jury and executioner, that's what the moderators are for.

I just told him what to do when you come back to the game and what i actually did when i played again.

He's right though, you often detract/derail and have a bit of a bad attitude - almost like you think you are superior to other players or something.

It gets quite tedious, at times.


And you are the biggest troll i have seen on the internet. Thanks for your useless comment though, it makes this forum so much more enjoyable.
Hey guys, please keep on topic and constructive, and refrain from personal attacks. Thanks :)
[i]No longer works at GGG[/i]
shadows are fine as melee, i use dual claw-bloodseeker build and it tears stuff up.

31% instant leech, no problem on 70 maps (havent tried higher yet) with 2.5k hp after blood magic auras, acrobatics+evasion, no armor.

17k dps after frenzy charges on dual strike with melee splash- cheap to build. only items that are worth anything are bloodseeker and bringer of rain--works just as well without bringer of rain.

Spoiler
No, I'm not. You are way more qualified to fit the definition of a "troll" than I am. Your EVERY effort is to get a cool, sneaky, sarcastic jab in. Your posts are laden with irony and sarcasm, and RARELY if ever contribute to the actual topic.

I'm just glad to see that inexium sees your antics the same way as I do - a completely unnecessary waste of time and forum space.


That being said, there are TONS of new changes to the game, and more incoming - the biggest recent patch was 0.11.0 - if you weren't around then, check out the patch notes (listed under "home")!

Love this game's level of new content.


As if you were telling the guy anything i haven't told him before. All you seem to do is create troll posts and create troll threads. Why do you even want to pick fights with me on here? Got nothing better to do?
Ok on topic? What could i say Hmmm

WHat is New ? Well 2 new leagus, rogue exiles..
