The Legacy of Phrecia, not for HC ? 🤨

Have you ever played HC because it is not visible on your account, you do not have any achievements ??

Yes I have? I migrated from HC a long time ago since I now play with friends and none of them like HC. I also used to race back when we had race seasons (those were HC only). Those don't show either. GGG changed the achievements and deleted all the old ones ages ago.

What does it matter to you anyway? All I did was analyse a mechanic mathematically. As far as I am aware, both modes use the same mathematics.

By the way, you should get off your high horse with the HC stuff. You talk about profiles, yet all that shows in yours is Tricksters that never got out of the campaign. If you die, you're not a HC player. You are just failing.

I'm not trying to call anyone out here, but I definitely got those hardcore achievements in race events.

And also, I've been playing for more than ten years and the achievements have never changed.

So...

Before you ask a question, think about how you ask it. Your allegations can be reported as harassment. You ask a question that you can answer yourself, if you know the game so well, so why are you asking it ?

Ah yes. I see.
Good luck out there, Exile.

Nope. I had a bunch of Descent Champions achievements and they're nowhere to be seen. Those and Descent were the main races I participated in, because I liked the alternate layouts. I can probably still link whatever's left of my more common alt arts that never sold off to collectors to prove it, but I don't see why I should bother.

Not that it matters for my original post regarding the mechanics of conversion of incoming damage.

I'm pretty sure the average SC player is more knowledgeable than our lvl 40 HC trickster elitist anyway.

Why do people have a strange tendency to show off. There is a topic and within its framework it should be discussed. This is my third account, this is the first one from 2013 and I only started playing on it this year. I did it because before it was a real problem with players to discuss when the account was empty.

Part of the problem is that you aren't really facilitating discussion in the first place. You did start discussion with a question--but all you've added after that are "Can you provide examples?" and "Do you even play HC?"



Since it's the one you're focusing on: yes, Blind Prophet is Blinded, which reduces his Evasion Rating. There are ways to deal with being Blinded. One of which you immediately disregarded for being an endgame solution, I guess?

The Ascendancy also has defensive options. It has a non-standard defense in having Increased Stealth on the small nodes, so enemies have to be closer to aggro onto you. It provides a way to spread Blind to enemies, and can make Elusive more reliable by removing it at 50% effective instead of 0%, so that you can reapply it with a higher value.

It also has a branch giving you Increased Maximum Life/Mana, and access to Shade Form, which prevents physical damage for a few seconds when hit. It gives level 30 Shade Form, unlike the level 20 Shade Form which is all that's currently accessible in-game, which could translate to more duration or less cooldown.



I do tend not to play HC, both due to my hardware and due to becoming complacent too easily, but is this Ascendancy really lacking in defensive options like you claimed?

Why are you glazing over the people who play hc and then responding to the people who play sc and just asking them this over and over.

You seem to be unable to admit that you overlooked all the solutions and build arounds for blind. Just open pob and get to work. Blinded is the least of your worries in this game. That can happen to you randomly from random monsters and you aren't just falling over all the time.

You seem to think that everytime you're blinded your character is just sent to the beach.

It seems to you and some here. Did I write anything about Blind, that it is a problem ??

Blind was cited as an example of changing all Asscendacy throwing defense and changing to attack only. In accordance with the topic.

And you clung to Blind like a drunkard to a fence. Besides, some people have some kind of ego problem. If you do not understand the question, do not answer and keep your knowledge of PoE to yourself...

And I will not reply to everyone either, because I don't want to reply to nonsense, especially if someone replies off-topic, or brags about what a big attack they had.

The damage reduction from the Totem is bait, please dont take it. Your totems die already all the time with that you will lose a lot of damage while still getting hit for the same damage.

Its not actually, Ballista's get 3 baseline with an easy +2 on tree and with AC 6 Ballista's and shit out at lightning speed they are more like spamable DOT's than actual totems. Usually casting multiple per second in any given situation. I've played Tox rain ballista's and Ele hit Ballista's with Champion and Chieftain extensively both essentially for the taunt and tank.

If anything that node is better than it looks, because its also a damage multiplier.

As an example I would consider that mods's defensive value to be strictly superior to Fortify, comparatively its much lower investment, its "ranged" (don't have to melee a mob to gain it) will have superior up time, it wont fall off unless you literally can't put ballista's down (aka petrified or dead) and its just instantly working with no ramp time. meanwhile Fortify has to exceed a threshold, ramp up and falls off whenever you're unable to hit the enemy (boss phases).
