Added Perrin_Aybara. I play Kihalin (lvl 43 duelist). Went blood magic. I didn't know auras reserve your hp if you pick blood magic. Can't even activate one lol.

Haha, yes. Are you following any builds? I followed my guts with the Shadow, but progression became too slow by the end of Act III, so now I follow a guide.

Perrin also uses blood magic. The build relies on hp regen for defense and endurance charges

Nah. I am not following any builds at the moment lol. I like to experiment on my own. Also, this game allows you to respec your character. More reason to try

Yes, though I read PoE really wants to encourage you to start over when things go wrong. Anyway, I was out of the game for half a year, and when I came back I was offered a full respec. Spent all the points, but then saw I made a few minor mistakes. With 8 respec points this didn't seem a problem at first, but in the end I had to level 5-6 levels to clean up the mess.

Do you know how to link to builds? I'd like to compare

For anyone reading this: PoE has a very unique skill tree and skill levelling system. Other than that it's just a decent ARPG that is f2p and definitely not p2w. Player atmosphere is generally quite good.

I saw a screenshot of the PoE skill tree. It looked HUGE! How is that? Do you feel like you can build really unique characters/skillsets with it or are they all variations on a similar theme?

In my experience, the more option for skills you are given, the more players will resort to build guides in order to min/max their character. End result is that while you COULD have some real diversity you end up with the same builds running around anyway.

I think this is why they change/add/relocate skills every few months.

Yeah many games do that. Usually I hate it and will stop playing around the time it affects me. I don't often min/max and I don't want to see a build that works for me and has a theme I like suddenly be altered in a never ending quest to "balance" all choices, or spend extra time trying to keep on top and anaylise how changes are going to affect me. Sometimes though my build gets stronger, guess I don't complain when that happens

It is huge. And everything is connected, so if you want to build a tanking ranger or a casting shadow, it's all possible.

Honestly I think it's so complicated most users cannot really comprehend it. Whuch is why so man build guides float around, and new are developed daily. Basically you pick one or two skills to focus on, and then create a build around them. I saw a video for a dominating blow marauder, and it looked awesome.

I didn't realize you could play on any server. With some delays of course.

Finally hit lv64 but my guy is fairy weak But fun to watch him killing things by hitting them a thousand times.

Haven't played in a while. As usual I get stuck in the loop between playing Tribes:Ascend, Civ V, PoE and Warthunder...
