Actually, they made a system where every stat can be dumped with no penalty at all. No, worse than that. They made a system where you can dump every stat to 3 and still receive bonuses. Dumping your Barbarian's Might to 3 will cause him to receive a +10% boost to damage and healing. Same goes with the functions of every stat. It's the casual gamer's dream system. Makes class building idiot proof. It doesnt make a difference if you have a average like 10 and substracting/adding bonuses to it and starting with 3 and only add bonuses to it. Your doom prophet like behavior because something needs number tweaking is absolutly ridiculous. Its simply aesthetic. If you changed every value to where it is currently at a stat of 10-11, and applied negative % of the same magnitude for every point below 10-11, you would have the same situation in function we do now.

Good news, you can do that in PoE too. You can lose out on +20% damage in echange for a large boost to AoE and Duration. Use AoE disabling spells and laugh as the martial characters kill off foes. There are quite a lot more choices than that, but if you want a Wizard who deals massive raw damage, you're going to boost Might. Want a Wizard whose spells are large and last a long time, pump Intellect. No, as the character has to trade off Accuracy, AoE and Duration, Health and Stamina, and Interrupt to get the damage boost.

Instead of making a system where certain stats can be dumped with no real penalty, they made a system where every stat is of use to every class. If you want to build a Barbarian that hits like a truck, you pump Might. Or you could boost Accuracy(Dexterity), Health and Stamina(Constitution), or AoE of Carnage and length of Rage(Intellect). Resolve and Perception are currently sub-optimal, but the devs acknowledged this before the release of the beta(and stated the desire to adjust it) and I think that with a more in depth explanation of Interrupt they may start seeing more use. *shrug* I don't see them as any more bland than IE attributes.

Because in the PoE universe, Might affects all damage. Might effects the magnitude of attacks and buffs. It does this because the designers wanted to avoid having any stat being an obvious dump for a class(not to be confused with build). If you want to play a skinny nerd, you trade in raw damage for increased AoE and duration of spells. This means a Wizard will do less damage with "Magic Missile", but "Web" will affect a larger area and last longer.

1. Select Wizard as a class 2. Dump Might and Pump Intellect Shazam, you have a skinny nerd in a dress who throws around fireballs.

You've slowly been going insane.

Ciphers also don't have access to talents. Yeah, I meant to put Cipher instead of Chanter. Chanters also don't get any talents though. I think any class that chooses a spell or something at level 3 or 6 doesn't get a talent at level up.

Huh, sounds like the industry has really low standards. I don't put much stick in vidya gaem journalism, as I find it to be mostly lists on "greatest games" or someone telling me what an ungrateful **** I am.

They don't seem to have access to talents at level up. Tested it for both classes twice, once on easy and once on normal.

Why? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joke

This is so very surprising. I know, I figured most of you didn't have sex lives.

I think this proves most members here have very strange sex lives.

Chuck Palaniuk? Yup.

Mine would be a series of "****"s on this forum, which is pretty much my sex life.

Shared by a Mexican friend of mine.

Volo speaks wisdom. Also, ex-boyfriend has proven himself to be a person who has no qualms about posting personal conversations for All Teh Internetz to see, engaging in tasteless ****-shaming, and basically attempting to wreck the professional career of multiple people. Not the kind of person anyone should treat as a reliable source of information. Well if even a fifth of his accusations are true, she seems like a pretty ****ty person. As it is, I don't think any of the people involved are particularly trustworthy.

Wait, are people saying PoE plays like an MMO with pause? Sorry I'm not going to the backer forum because spoilers. If they did, they would be wrong. It plays like a faster BG with more micromanagement. And for some reason, the Monk did much better than the Paladin for me. I attribute it to suboptimal equipment.

Spider-Woman's ass in that variant cover.

I watched Django Unchained. Was pretty fun.

Young Monte? That seems like an oxymoron. Anyways, I have to agree with Wals and Monte. If you think a company is milking you too much through DLC and microtransactions, don't grace them with your business. Pulling a SJW and raging will be ineffective and probably just pisses people off.

I did shots of whiskey with a friend and am still sober. I need to make friends with people who can handle their **** better.

Hey, I posted a picture from "Pretty Woman" so don't blame me.

Absolutely no proof of that, at all.If there's a Satan, or some such entity, they are laughing with glee at you and all those who think similar. Anyone on this planet long enough that doesn't regularly go hunting for sandworms head first and that truly thinks, knows that stable families are the bedrock of a stable civilization. It's a 101 concept in pretty much all of the humanities and life. The evidence of this is everywhere. And it's something that many do still realize, both those who want the stable society and those who want to bring it down. The latter seem to sadly be winning, and they are laughing with glee as well. IF there is a satan, and there is no more proof he exists than any other form of divine being, with a totally different style of morality than what we have.So, I'll take that chance. I might've spoken to soon though, for claritys sake, what do you define as a stable family? White Christians who live in compounds in remote areas to avoid the creeping influence of the Lizard Jews. Waitjustabloodyminutehere..... Those are Lizard Jews???? I thought they were Argonians! I though I was playing Skyrim so much it was starting to become real to me! Wait until someone tells you about the Cat Catholics.

I'm afraid Julia Roberts has more to do with that than I do.
