THEY ADDED STAVES. I CAN LIVE MY DRUID / WITCH DREAMS I AM SO READY.

The recent update was for combat and I will be honest and say I only glanced over the changes (if that) and I was about to be unimpressed but

S T A V E S

heheheheheheh

So the combat animations are ass

Think. Dragon Age Origins pyuu pyuu ass

Actually. It's worse than that.

They do extremely abysmal damage but they appear to be a healing power house.

I haven't found any spells on the lowest tier staffs that do damage, I am suspecting that it might branch out or maybe they'll add some in the future?

But atm I made a Sylvan staff and it has a stackable HoT, a targeted heal and an aoe HoT

I can outheal the little fighty guys but ... honestly. It is too weak for damage output to warrant heavier fights

It definitely is meant for group play and I am totally here for that. Team player. Whoo

But I have no clan and joining a clan makes me really nervous

Speaking of people and clans

Someone ran into my humble home the other day while I was working on some alchemy.

POISONS

And they were like HI. I AM LOOKING FOR HEARTWOOD :C

And haha

They scared the shit out of me lol

You get like a little sound when chat has a message for the first time in a while (not every ding, but like new ones)

But anyway

THEIR NAME WAS. Ze........ Ze.........something. Zaph? Zedge? Zippydidoodah.

So this poor soul

So with this update PxD got rid of RP specific servers. My true home

And so we're all lumped in with the normies

So when this guy busts into my home asking about Heartwood like he's Link looking for Rupees NATURALLY MY REACTION IS

Well first, who let you in. Second. Does this look like a forest to you. Third. Get out.

TO THIS INDIVIDUAL'S CREDIT they ran with it

So he gets kicked out and then while I'm shutting the door I tell him the forest he needs is South, move faster or I'll curse him

It sounds silly, but I think (hope?) he had fun with it

He messaged me after with a ((THANKS FOUND IT))

So he does have RP manners. CUTE

Anyways, I'm trying to make a jack of all trades but this game hates people doing that so it is...... a struggle

And with the new update, some gear is level locked. In my opinion? That's a good thing. You have to earn your way to better dps, but it also means you might get locked into a weapon type you don't like because it just happens to be a higher level and no one wants you fighting Zebians with a bronze weapon

There's a lot of good gear you can only get from party dungeons. Well, not gear exactly but materials for gear. So eventually I will be locked out of higher tier equipment and items

But I am a patient soul and I'm just hoping that I'll be able to find a decent clan to join when the time comes that I feel one might be necessary and me necessary for them

It's so easy to get overwhelmed in this game I might just do a tiny to do list here

Someone made a sculpture garden lol

Cute but useless

The spidey is adorable though

Dusts off this plurk

I took a week away from the game, but I'm gonna do a bit tonight me thinks

That said, I realized I haven't played PoE2 in ages

I might have to start playing again between everything else buzzing around

Clair derailed my PoE2 run hard

I haven't touched the game since April LMAO

BUT TONIGHT we Pax Dei

lol never mind......... there's an update
