Slormancer screenshots and assorted comments

[Colif]

this cute little thing is/was meant to be a portal at end of a dungeon. It didn't work... lucky game remembered my progress

the comments on weapons aren't as silly as Torchlight

Path of Exile has led to other games having truly insane trees

worst part is following a build without any screenshots of the skill tree

Massive game, uses 1.5gb of ram while playing.

One fight I really didn't have to do much, with 3 clones doing most of my fighting, this witch army was overkill

I just run around collecting things.
Its only the boss fights that are a pain. One I haven't done yet is more pattern recognition than a damage affair.
Another one I died from a seemingly unblockable attack. not sure how I survived it the second time

I did my usual trick, start again but this time I found some of the skills I had missed first time around. She didn't have the problem with the unblockable attack as her minions stun locked the boss so hard it never cast that move. Some of the skills I missed on 1st mage really were needed.

this is more a stat stick than a weapon. It keeps me alive, just as well my minions do the damage. Its output is pretty low compared to others.

Now up to a scarecrow boss, he more pattern recognition than sheer output. Might try him later.

Pattern recognition guy not so hard, now onto a grind as I need to be a much higher level than I am currently. Need to do 3 trials and need to be lvl 50 just to finish the first one... and 75 to complete second

I have to spend time doing expeditions which are random dungeons. Think I am in an interlude. Story continues after 3 trials which are essentially the rest of the game.

later: almost finished trial part 1, I only have to upgrade an item to lvl 6 and do the final part now. I got to lvl 50 and then found I needed to charge my controller. Was getting tired anyway.

I don't play any games for 18 months and the moment I do mum gets annoyed that I waste all my time playing games... um... hello? I can't win with her. What is point of having a gaming PC if I can't play games on it.

Totally Serious game

I haven't tried that one yet

Some staffs can evolve, this is one of them

But I don't know what level it evolves at. I got it to lvl 39 trying as I am curious what it becomes... apart from a staff
Its damage is still 0 - Its just as well my clones do all the damage, although I did die using it... should have known better than to take on a boss.

Seems it evolves at lvl 58, i might do that tomorrow. I just took it into easier areas

There is a staff of necromancy (obviously) but you only get one assistant. I want a staff that makes my clones move with me... but that would be op.
damn, they caught me reading the text at bottom

The one in pink is my clones, I tend to stack them up - I should have 3 of them but i recently discovered I only had 2 which was probably part of why I died earlier. You can only have so many skills active but you get more points to spend than active skills so you max all skills out and get a damage percentage of the points spent as damage. I mistakenly had the wrong skills active and was missing a clone.

The balls spin around them as a sort of defence.
They do all of my damage, I just cast them into the right spots in combat since they can't move.

The blue ghost is Bryan, he goes poisoned at start of game and I acting as his revenger upon the ones who killed him., Not sure if resurrection is on the cards
