Announcing Path of Exile: Bestiary League

Any clarification on how capturing will really work? I don't want to spend the first day or two starting the League on an Essence Drain character only to realise I can't do League content because I won't be able to capture the monsters before they die.

you got a special keyboard key to throw that capturing net, capture the monster of choice, then you kill it.

just watch that you didn't hit your own pet, they're expensive.
age and treachery will triumph over youth and skill!

Yeah well I mean in other games where capturing is involved you'll usually have to weaken the monster before catching it. If this is the case (Lower the HP to under 25% before using the net for example) you would basically have to gimp yourself to catch anything (Think Vorici missions).

And Essence Drain is just a good example because IF you have to weaken them first, you heavily have to gimp yourself around actually not just killing them instantly with ED + Contagion before catching them.

Just interested to see how it will actually work, because this could make or break the League for many players.

possible.

but even then, i don't think that rare monsters, which you one shot, will provide useful utilities for crafting gear for your current state of progression.

and, players having to catch rares, will give ggg some excuse to massively buff the life of rare monsters.

As I understand it, you can do both - throw the net at them at full health to have a chance of capturing them (i.e. they might break free, but you then could just throw the net again I guess) or weaken them enough to guarantee a capture. And btw, I think white/blue mobs are also used in crafting, albeit probably only for some low-level stuff that you'll likely not need later (from the recipe screens, it seems you need a few of them, like 2-5, so maybe just capture an entire pack for those).
