as a new player, i wonder how can some player survive normal difficulty without dying...

heck i just died > 10 times in Malachi normal ytd. got total of 8xx life and ES only.

yea. having problem with my gears..couldn't find a nice life/ES gear..

btw. wanna ask, do i have to spend my skill points on ES? like all my skills points on ES? there are about > 10 nodes improving ES on Witch side of tree. or do I focus on dmg but find gear with ES? I am templar going for hierophant btw.

now am in dilemma, have unspent 16 skill points not sure going for dmg or ES. i have total of < 1k of life and ES now for cruel difficulty, not sure how am i gonna survive on act 3/act 4.

and also, what skills are there for mobility? I've seen some people have like some kind of "dash" without cooldown, flash dash requires cooldown, lightning warp do have abit delay, leap slam kind of odd my for character

2k life on cruel? how you get that high? mine life alone is 7xx only.
do you spent any skill points on life/ES nodes? i spent some on the ES recharge rate and some maximum ES

oh..
dam...seems like i wasted around 10 skill points

guess i need to farm more for ES gears..

ya..just started playing last few weeks..
so alot still need to be learn...

no..but i revise from them..like totem spell, berserker leech..

of course i couldn't compare to their build due to im new while they have godly gears from the start

im more hype for skill tree wipe than new content.

Anyone here having trouble with map drops RNG? im stucked at T12 for few days now. never dropped T13 and above.
105/157 Atlas completion.

want to buy maps buy kind of expansive.

Or anyone quitting league can donate me T13 and above maps?

hierophant's new ascedency really pump me up for spell totems...

now with the new Fated Atziri Mirror shield (https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/7zjfvv/the_ancient_queen_casts_her_gaze_upon_her/), and self-flaggelation jewel (https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Self-Flagellation), soul mantle will be useful for additional totem

maybe hierophant will be new meta this league..

patch notes is out.

what you guys playing as starter?

for me i thought of
1) GC/warchief(?) hierophant
2) tectonic strike JUGG
3) SR trickster

anything else i misses that is good for starter build?

not sure but seen people playing that as league starter.

till now I haven't decide which to go.

1) T E C C J U G G
2) Hierophant - Frostbolts or Glacial Cascade
3) Chieftain - Ancestral Warchief (did Berserker Facebreaker Ancestral Warchief 2 leagues straight, prefer not to)
4) Necromancer - Summon Skeleton
5) Necromancer - Spectre

any other recommendations?

am not pro too. but sunder too mainstream
Anyhow, my league starter i aim to reach yellow maps for currencies and maybe get nice uniques

anyone feel this league more lag + dc compare to previous?

this league i have frequent dc, enter map, out from incursion, sometime might dc.

yesterday lost 1ex trade due to dc.

yea. read about it alot
thought is my potato pc.
this league not good for my potato pc
sees any syndicate confirm my FPS lower than 5.
