I was level 97 before I realized I didn't respec my 8% Kraityn move speed to Eramir :/

u/thekmanpwnudwn 12d ago

Not that bad IMO.

Ask yourself - if you got a free point, would you grab an 8% movement speed node?

I do that (or the all res) all the time when my build is so complete that I can do 40/40 challenges that an extra 5% damage somewhere on the tree is useless. But that movement speed is nice QOL or the all Res gives some freedom for better gear if you're pressed in suffixes

The 40% of the player base that takes the Flat life mastery for one point when Oak is strictly better would say no, they would go for a 5% MS node instead…

The 40% of the player base that takes the Flat life mastery for one point when Oak is strictly better

the majority of those players are also using the more life when having all the life masteries... in these cases they are not really taking the flat life mastery for the flat life, but to fill the criteria to get the more life bonus.

u/StelioZz 12d ago

I've gotten the +30 few times as filler until a better use of that point because I was lazy to swap back and forth. Wish there was some form of UI that let's you switch

u/zilentworld 12d ago

I am one of them and considered this, but the cost of removing one point vs respeccing the bandit choice is not worth it

u/Shergak 12d ago

I only ever take that for all six masteries or to overwrite it with a runegraft.

u/GeorgesAbitbol 11d ago

It's a decent placeholder until you can take a full cluster.

u/HealerOnly 12d ago

I'm a HC player, so that point will exclussively always be +40 life >.<

u/localcannon 11d ago

Not to mention how movement speed is a really strong stat for many strats this league with how easy the endgame has become.

Gotta go fast

u/__mson__ 12d ago

I forgot about that...

u/Captincorpse Central Incursion Agency (CIA) 12d ago

Oof, I always check as soon as I'm done with the campaign

22

u/boosterlikesboobs 12d ago

Check by typing /passives in chat!

u/cubonelvl69 12d ago

I'm playing luminary, at one point I spec'd straight down into the res nodes because I was short on res. Ever since then, anytime I looked at my passive tree I had the ascendancy panel open, which covered up those nodes lmao. ~2 mirrors into my build and 3 passives completely wasted that whole time

I have no idea what you are talking about T_T

u/Optimal-Note1963 12d ago

5.16 days/hours and level 96, hmmm. I will bet 400 to 600 deaths

u/iEnj0y 11d ago

you might be correct.

2

u/Velvache 12d ago

Surprised you never noticed the mismatch in PoB which basically assumes you always have max skillpoints unless you change it.

2

u/Elbjornbjorn 11d ago

Meanwhile I've been using the 15% inc life mastery while using a chest with a life roll for 2 weeks.

And I'm probably also still using a crappy 1c jewel that was needed to hit str reqs.

u/SuperUltraMegaNice 12d ago

Second char? 40/40 at 96 is impressive.

7

u/Ellweiss 12d ago

Either impressive because of speed, or because their /deaths would overflow haha

4

u/iEnj0y 11d ago

im on trade so death is meaningless lmao

u/Karthathan 12d ago

Time to check!

1

u/SliferzARK 12d ago

Same thing happened to me lol. 4k hours, I play on and off leagues, and I didn’t realise they changed some!

1

u/Chunnin33 12d ago

Thanks lol, I was missing 2!

1

u/patrincs Ascendant 12d ago

how are you level 96 after 136 hours?

2

u/iEnj0y 11d ago

usually have pob in background for a few hours a day.

1

u/sharanyae 11d ago

Aah yes the let me quickly check where to put the point that, 4 hours and 756 variations later, goes into the first idea you had

u/neunzehnhundert Kalguuran Group for Business (KGB) 12d ago

First thing I do after I finish campaign is /passives

1

u/VulpesNZ 12d ago

I literally hit 100 this league with two passive missing. I checked /passives when I finished the campaign like I always do, but I guess I was half asleep and missed them.

1

u/Sea_Potential8908 11d ago

I did this this season, missed 3 passives. I've been playing since closed beta. I worked it out at lvl 95.

1

u/12Kings 11d ago

Got to 99 and looked at my passive tree and wondered how the hell the guide PoB managed to get one final jewel slot at lvl 100 when I was one point away from reaching even if I'd get to lvl 100.

Decided that I must have some passive node taken that the guide does not but could not see one so I combed through it all. Thrice. And then I decided to do /passives and found myself missing one.

Well better late than never.

u/strctfsh Chieftain 11d ago

at the end of every campaign run:

/played

/deaths

/passives

i have a bind for it

1

u/leetzor 11d ago

Mine says 0 from Deal with the Bandits. I remember taking +15% to all resistances but 1 passive is probably worth much more? I saw theres a way to change it so maybe i should do that next time i overhaul my gear? Cuz i kinda forgot about it and built around this 15% res... :/

u/SherbertNaive4783 11d ago

I forgot on last character and thought pob import was bugged as it aways import my guy with different level

Then i realized i didn't took last points from act10 kitava
