Hehe ‘gtfo’ was the theme but I wanted to make sure I didn’t miss any surprises. I am wrestling with 2 halves of my nature- the completionist that wants to do everything and the zoomer that wants to just get to the next bit of content. I didn’t really mean to explore the whole place though, just went the dumb way around 🤣 aaaaaand by the time I realised that I just decided I may as well explore 🤦🏻♀️
So you might notice the Witch's voice lines sound a little different now. It is from the same voice over artist...just ~10 years apart. She stopped working after GGG introduced Act 4 and didn't get her back until very recently (introduced in this expansion, released at the end of March).
3:45 - What happened to Flame Dash? Commonly folks will rock two movement skills: an attack based one they can spam (Shield Charge) and once that can clear gaps (Flame Dash)
Ahhh I was thinking it was more of an ‘either’ ‘or’ type deal, just having one movement spell on the bar. It can definitely go back since I am not really using Vaal Firestorm too much.
@@CassKGaming Nah, they serve different roles. Attack ones have no cooldowns and generally have lower mana costs, so they are better for general traversal. Spell ones almost always have instantaneous movement but have cooldowns, so they are better for clearing gaps and "uh oh" moments.
well, if you wanna start something new, the new LE cycle starts on the 9th, and we just got yesterday a teaser for the new POE league that will be coming on the 26th!
Yeah I ammmmm debating starting up LE again for the new cycle! There’s also a new D3 season about to start. I don’t think I should make a new PoE character until I finish the storyline on this one, definitely need to focus. But the seasons coming up are definitely tempting! I’d like to push my LE Cthonic Fissure/Golem build (stopped playing cause one of my friends couldn’t play anymore and it didn’t feel right playing without him), see if it’s still super fun! I will see how far I can get into the PoE story, maybe I can set aside a week to just play all day and burn through it, idk about a league character as well cause I have barely touched the one this season 🤣 I think I would like to play a league after I finish the storyline and do a comparison of the characters!
@@CassKGaming well, the current PoE league (Necropolis) is way too overwhelming and complicated for new players, and that might be different on the upcoming one (we're not sure either...) but it's always so exciting to play on the day 1 of a new league! I see all the streamers I like playing, a lot of people testing new builds, and crazy predictions of how the league mechanic will work! it's a perfect day, even on an ultimately underwhelming league as this current one
@pedroupaiva oh well then I suppose I have to try it out and stream it on launch 🤣 the Necropolis league has been interesting, I figured out the base mechanics okay enough, I just haven’t had the time to delve into it, PLUS I didn’t want to get further ahead than this character! I might see if my mate wants to team up for some chaos :)
Yeah that’s why I pick them up! Thanks for the reminder, Heron! Your advice is always valuable and hopefully helps some other new players! It’s always worth a reminder of the currency that drops though!!! Sometimes I forget ones 🤣
23:30 - That gear looks...rough. That new ring is just resists (good chunk of lightning at least) and would be passable with w creating bench mod added, but your current ones are basically garbage. There are STR implicit belts (Heavy) and amulets (Amber or Citrine) you should be using, rings should be any of the resist bases. Use some Essences on white items and finish with the crafting bench. Just do _something_ about your jewelry.
Yeah I know it’s not great. I have a heap of stuff in the bank that I can mess around with and hopefully get some improvements happening! Okay str belt, Amber or citrine amulet, rings with resist, got it! Hopefully I can get online for a little bit tomorrow before our gaming tournament begins! Or during, if I get bored, lol. Then I am looking at gems as well (I have screenshots of the advice), so potentially a new gear and spell set up in the next adventure. I will keep everything and show pieces I think are alright and if you see something you think would work better for me, let me know. I am thinking about swapping around items, killing some trash mobs, changing things up and seeing what works best (that would be my usual go to for improvement). But you’re actually right cause it has been ages since I upgraded anything and I think I could potentially have some good items banked, once I magic them up 🪄
6:15 - So, there's actually a penalty for being _too_ overleveled. You can be at most 3 + levels away from the area level, in either direction, before the XP penalty kicks in. You hit level 47 and are in a level 40 area. Do the math.
Awwwww math :( Okay so 5 levels in that area, gotcha. I was only a ‘little’ kidding about the overlevelling ;) I’ll try to keep an eye on it though. I am assuming the areas that branch out from this new Basecamp will bring the enemies closer to me. I will just have to try and ensure I am a bit higher but not too much higher!
19:30 - "It seems the theme is to GTF out of here"
**proceeds to explore every pixel of the area**
Hmmmmm

Yeah just slightly, still excellent though. But it’s cool that she is back!!!

9:00 - Penetration only applies to hits, not DoTs.
Thank you for clearing that up! I will make sure to note that for future and don’t worry about it!

how to get anxiety episode 31
Haha anxiety cause I am playing wrong or reliving your own first playthrough? Your comment makes me scared for what’s to come!
