I really don't get all the bitching about life as it relates to this video.

Few things:
1. Lowest HP he went to was still over 1500, how is that almost dying?
2. Even when he hit that, he still had plenty of flask usage after recovering.
3. He didn't use the quicksilver flask or leap slam to get away, which he could have.
4. The map mods on the Museum map where that happened weren't shown.

Just enjoy the video, see what release plays like, stop whining. Damn.

Thats what I thought.

And he is only lvl 75 and the gear is ok but has no mana or life leech on it.
With a couple of more points he can get IR and some more life nodes.
He can also drop 1 aura and take grace for more defence.

well, of course the game is going to be hard, that is the entire draw of the game is that is difficult and getting perfect gear is a massive grind, but you see regular progress in gear and levels. That said this build was not very tanky at all and the items they were using was only about average for a life build nothing super good or expensive. That is nowhere near a GG 5link, it was average gear for someone at that level doing maps. The build was actually a bit less tanky than most people would build because it has so much travel so the build would not really be very good until you're level 80 so that could be a bit of it as well.

not gg items?
ring: triple resist + dual dmg mods + high hp
5L armor: 100hp, dual resist, good armor and es.
5L weapon: 349 p dps
boots: 30 ms, hp, dual resists + main stats

i can go on but i'll stop here. all his items are way above what a player with 4h of POE a day will have at lvl 75 starting a new league. and this guy has trouble with 66 maps. are you kidding me?

The person you replied to is right from my point of view. There were no uniques equipped and just about all the gear he had on can be attained if you really wanted it.

what are u smoking man? that tri resist ring alone is worth a couple of exalts. and in case you haven't noticed, he's not running Purity. this means that he can't really use uniques cause they lack resists+hp. if you use uniques, generally u're gonna have to use purity to compensate the lack of resists.

he dropped instantly to 1500 from thrash mobs in lvl66 map

point is if these were rare mobs with 'inc phys and critical dmg' that char would be 1 shotted.

brutus.. yeah right

btw - this is not 'ok' gear. only belt is lacking HP (just 40) but jewelry is top tier and this gear is worth several ethernals

i know that mana shield + clarity means insane regen probably making small hits not an issue but big spikes - and these are the ONLY important hits - with small buffer == 1shot

i really hope that this has been filmed before life 'buff'. if not - there is not much hope. path of CI Scions is ahead of us.


anyone saying that it is just 74 so there is plenty of leveling. yeah right.. 5 more 6% life nodes will make that 3900 instead of 3500. not much of a difference sadly
