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

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
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)
THEIR NAME WAS. Ze........ Ze.........something. Zaph? Zedge? Zippydidoodah.
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
The spidey is adorable though
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
lol never mind......... there's an update
