I’ve had an amazing Path of Exile 1 summer.
I’ve spent my playing time between three characters:
- Morgannic (L97), my third Lightning BAMA Incarnation
- Surghiunica (L93), a Poison SRS Incarnation (“surghiun” means exiled in my native language – Romanian)
- ArkassiaNova (L94), a Tornado Shot of Cloudburst Incarnation
And I played all summer on my girlfriend’s son’s PC while he was away :D.
What was great? I reached level 97 with my BAMA build.
I’ve only reached level 97 with only one character, an Explosive Arrow Champion build.
That was over one year ago.
Leveling above 95 is damn hard…
I’ve had to search for leveling strategies and always keep my maps simple, to make my BAMA won’t die after two hours of grind.
Scour, transmute, alterate a few times, regal and go. Countless of times, until I dinged 97.
You can see me in action here, defeating the Maven. I was level 95 at the time.
I’ve been playing Path Of Exile (1) for over three years now, and I feel I’ve only begun to understand what this game is about.
Farming currency strategies, rolling your maps.
But the number one thing was enjoyment.
Every time I didn’t enjoy leveling up my BAMA, I got it to die at one point or another.
The most important part was enjoying the game.
Sure, I’ve poured close to 40 divines in the Tornado Shot build, but it was definitely fun to play!
I ended up playing multiple characters because after a while it becomes boring to play just one.
BAMA was my league starter and I don’t regret it at all. It becomes powerful quite fast and it’s very enjoying to level it up to 91.
But grinding away on a single character sucks the soul out of the gameplay.
I simply MUST create other characters if I want the game to keep having fun.
