Ok thanks, sounds good!

Think I'm going to go with the Witch and do the summoner/necromancer thing to start with.

It's completely appropriate if you've played POE 1

Thank goodness it wasn't called Path in Exile

If you new to the game, just note: POE Necro ≠ Diablo Necro

Its not a summon and forget game-play, where you make a group and run around afterwards spamming attack skills. You have to actively summon fresh minions the whole time as well as maintain buffs/debuffs. Its a lot more involved than other games.

That said there is nothing like having 28+ minions up all running/warping around killing sht.

Witch summons auto summon.

Witch summons auto summon.

Not if you using skills like:



Edit: Nevamind did not see they changed the system

Wasn't thinking it's like Diablo at all and I did also play PoE

I want to go this route due to all the new boss mechanics. General idea is to run around in circles while something else does damage.

Ignore that comment, I see they changed the system.
In general trying to avoid video's (Cause spoilers) but @Rayne made me go look.

I looked at the Witch and Sorcerer yeah. Unlike D4 you do need an idea as to what direction to spec into. Respec is not as easy as it is in D4.

Personally I'll roll lightning Sorc myself but Witch is my second choice.

It's been years though so I'll need to lookup build makers again. Not rolling with the D4 crowd this time around. They are not experts at all.

Preload finished, unfortunately I don't think ill be able to try it at 9PM release, queues are probably going to be crazy, hopefully no queue early Saturday morning.

 

[Isengard]

Don't get your hopes up for actually being able to play tonight.

They said not to queue because there will be a patch just before launch and it will throw you out of the queue but yeah I'm realistically also budgeting on Saturday, though I will see if I can get in tonight.
