It was getting a bit tedious. I guess I'm never going to get the level 90 achievement.

If I do quill rain + lightning arrow (for the shock stacks) + cast on crit + EK, does that work? I assume I can't just have cast on crit + 3x EK? There's a 250ms cooldown these days isn't there?

I think it should work. I believe there is a LA- CoC EK build that I read somewhere

2800 hours is age of his character you dimwits, it took him half of that to level to 100

I think people nowadays don't realize how long 1400 hours isn't. Even 2800 hours when you stay logged in while sleeping.

6 hours a day and you reach 1400 hours played in about 2/3's a year. If you spend way more than that on the weekends like I do, it's even less.

Sure, the sheer number of it sounds daunting, but you don't play games just to see how long you can play them for. So who cares?

I remember playing Everquest and Ultima Online - I know for sure that my main character had over 400 days played and my alt had like 170. That's combined of over 12,000 hours. Sure, I was idle a lot, but so was this guy.

I'm pretty sure I had ~4k hours played in starcraft in 2 years - actually played. That was how geeky I was aged 18-19.

Might do this build instead of figuring it out for myself this time, looks quite fun: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/660316

Same here, I'm sure I have around 7k hours in WoW even though I haven't been playing since May. I enjoyed that time, I probably don't have time nowadays to keep up with that hence I quit. Most people don't do anything in that time at all, sitting idle in front of tv after work. I wonder if they count their hours.

Confirmed that Sigri is the oldest here probably. I imagine him to be a grumpy 40 year old!

Confirmed that the only possible post-work activities are playing computer games or sitting in front of TV.

I play a lot of games too, and PoE is a good game, but spending the equivalent of 116 days grinding the same levels over and over on the same character just seems insane.

I just put it as example as I don't think it should be frowned upon that someone wanted to spend their time one way or the other. It wasn't definitely directed to you. I just feel like most people hating on such 'achievements' don't spend their time better than the guy in question.

Again, it's half of that. I wouldn't do it neither and I agree with you, but I guess this guy wanted to be recognised somehow and can't blame him for doing that, he was the first guy to do it and that can't be taken away from him.

Why would I play WoW for this long, every patch/expansion my gear expires and I have to work on my characters over again. Would you consider it pointless? I played for time with the people I got to know on there and that it simply was fun.

Quill Rain, Blackgleam then split arrow, cast on crit, EK, increased burning damage. If I can get a 5L then I guess LMP? 6L and projectile speed?

Possibly Voll's Protector, then lots of crit chance and +fire damage, possibly with avatar of fire if I can find a way to get there (presumably start on Ranger).

Sound sensible?

and I died again, this time at 61 during casual fellshrine farm, storm herald ****ed me over. that's 8th char down.

the annoying part is finding multistrike just before which I didn't manage to stash.

Yeah. It's fine. The whole zone is like 60. In a group it's easy, but I just died to his ground slam thing. I wasn't anywhere near him on my screen. Ah well though.

You're way over leveled fyi. Nothing wrong with it though. Act 1 merciless is 53-59. The mandatory areas cap at like 55. The side areas are 58-60.

This was like my 3rd guy in merciless. Basically rush to act 3 and farm docks until 65+.

I took the shortest look ever at this build (just clicked on video) but he's running low life for damage and probably resists, meaning that he's wearing a shavronne's. Builds that require a shavronne's are not feasible in nemesis.

I did cruel vaal at like 42 on my last character... how some of you manage to get levels when you're waaay over the zone level I have no idea.

In good news, I haven't died on any character in about 2 weeks.

And I don't recommend farming docks in merciless. The best farming areas in act 3 are probably city of sarn and lower lunaris. I find docks to be incredibly dangerous at random times because of voidbearers. If your character always keeps distance though it's probably safe enough.

Do piety runs until you're lvl 74-75, then start maps or catacombs.

Because the lowest level maps are only 66 though, if you don't have any higher level maps to start with then you can start building a map pool at any level you feel comfortable with. You definitely don't want to start 66 maps at lvl 75, you'll get **** experience.

"Pros:

I don't mind being way over leveled on my ranger. I still use a hc build focused on life/survivability, but no minions, so things can get hairy even over leveled.

my heavy strike leap slam spectral scion is 64 and almost ready to finish act 2 merciless.
