  1. You can literally say that about anything that did not exist in a game beforehand.
  2. There's no moment in PoE that made me think of being a "general" cleverly utilizing weapons(magic, if it's unclear) at my disposal that are limited by an inane resource constriction, other than in boss battles. I get hard whenever the game telegraphs that I'll be facing a boss since I can finally use my total maximum allowance of 3 spells per wizard sleep. PoE using Vancian was literally bait to hook in the DnD bois.
  3. Vancian systems should just be left in the crypt and only be brought up in nostalgia. There's really nothing wrong with a mana bar/cooldown combo. Just add a penalty to maximum *resource name* like how fatigue did for maximum HP, dependent on both spell level and character level, only going back to full value after resting. Add longer cooldowns to spells as fights go on. If you cast a REALLY high-level spell, have *resource name* completely(or mostly) drained and add a tapering penalty as it refills, having epic spells look really tiring to cast.
  4. My suggestion is not to wrap our pretty little heads around the ideas too much right now. We only have baseless theorycrafting right now and that might detract from actual game experience when it's out because you might have set your minds on concepts we don't have actual facts of.
  5. Namely Eder and Pallegina for me. I have the former wield Tidefall(to deadly effect) and birdy as a mid-line pistolera with the swiftness aura thing.
  6. Shouldn't they take it a bit slow? I mean, PoE2 was just announced just a few days ago! If it's your "flagship" title, that's an all-hands on deck type of deal if you ask me.
  7. Spiderweb Software's latest title has come out. Avadon 3 wraps the trilogy quite nicely. I like the way he handled skills in it, energy bar with cooldown. Some nuances here and there about it. I think Obsidian could take a cue from it(though Tyranny is already leaning away from the Vancian system).

  9. So... casting a spell depletes a resource that refills at the end of battle and a separate resource that refills on rest? Say... stamina and mana? Exactamundo, but I wouldn't say Mana, let's go for something in more generic terms. Energy spent is energy spent, whether you're a mage or a fighter.
  10. Replace Vancian system with Stamina system akin to how Health/Endurance work.
  11. Why do you guys make me feel so inadequate with my Celebrant Gloves + Stormcaller Swift Aim Sagani?
  12. Whoa, whoa, whoa. To those guys that started the challenge as a Chanter, mind sharing your starting attributes? I'm planning one as well, focusing on buffs and Spelltongue.
  13. Has anyone bugged Papa Pete about this? Reddit mostly thinks it's Survivor2299 all over again. Pete mostly dispels rumors outright . If he says he can't confirm, well guess what? It's confirmed.
  14. Just how strong is Storm of Holy Fire with this build and what's stopping me to just cast one then Withdraw myself?
  15. Cool beans! How did you start it? How did you end?
