hello Melancholia!1st of all welcome to the forun!about the itens having delay, i read few days ago, its semi-common bug from steam, i still ddint see that on my game, but it can appear. no fix im afraid.
I got mine from GOG and have the same problem, but to a lesser degree. Bone piles, chest and kills. Walk away a come back and find thing. Sort of a lag, but it just may be the old computer I'm playing on. Old Windows 7, will check out when I get home in the Fall and use a much newer one.Welcome and good luck.
Welcome to the forum and to the game Melancholia. If it's on a staff it affects only the staff attacks.+skills versus resistances really depends on whether you need to boost your resistances or not. If you already have +4 to all skills then I'd go for the resistances. You get a resistance penalty in both Epic and Legendary so it's always good to keep an eye on how they're doing.Stats - again this depends somewhat on how you play. If you're relying on your pets to do damage and are staying out of the fray then you really only need enough dex to be able to equip gear/weapons. The rest can go into int. If, on the other hand, you're getting into the thick of things then boosting your dex will help you stay alive - you should probably go 1/1 int/dex in that case.If you want you can put some into health and/or energy if you need it, but here's a little trick to keep in mind from TQ forum legend Poinas. There are 3 quests where you get bonus attribute points as part of the reward: the Chiron's staff side quest, when you hand in the Hand of Balance and the Eye of Chaos as part of the main quest and the Terracotta Soldiers side quest. You get 2 points for each of these so that's 6 points per difficulty - 18 in total. Use these to boost your health/energy. Each point boosts these by 40 so if you put all into health that would increase it by 720 for example. Bear in mind that while you can buy back skill points, you can't do the same with attribute ones - once they're allocated and you close the window that's it, you can't change them.As for item drops they can get stuck at times, even did it in the original game occasionally. One that particularly stands out is the Staff of Khufu - that sometimes takes a long while to actually show up. What I've observed is that the items are still moving, even fractionally, so don't show up until they're completely still.You will find a lot of throwing items because Ragnarok introduced throwing weapons so the devs obviously want them to be plentiful for people to try out.Finally if you're enjoying the game you might want to have a look at Grim Dawn. It's made by one of the developers who worked on TQIT originally and it also uses the TQ engine though much upgraded and improved. It's similar too in that it has the dual mastery system, but also has factions, a devotion system to add even more diversity to your builds and of course lots of loot to find.http://www.grimdawn.com/contribute_buynow01.phpThere is also an expansion for it called Ashes of Malmouth and a separate arena battleground DLC called The Crucible. Both are available through Humble, Steam or GOG. There's also another expansion under development called Forgotten Gods which is due out some time later this year. What's pretty unique in the gaming world is the relationship the devs have built up with the fan base - they give regular updates on what's happening with the game and also do live streams on a Friday fairly regularly.http://www.grimdawn.com/forums/You'll find me there too - I'm a playtester and recently became a moderator of the forum as well. We're a generally friendly and helpful bunch too so no problems asking questions if you do decide to try out the game.
Use 1 : 2 dex to int ratio or even 1 : 3, you will need to equip top level staves and they have very high intelligence requirements. Could be that you won't even be able to without either +% int items or requirements reduction items. My summoner can't and didn't even wasted points in str like you did. Luckily Durin and Dvalinn love to add reduced requirements to legendaries, this is how I managed to use some of my items before getting enough int.Last time I played POE it was 1.4, got sick and quit, never had any intentions to go back. You don't need to max all resistances in TQ but need some of them maxed for certain fights, which can be done by swapping gear if you don't have it normally. You can even go with some negative resistances, it isn't pleasant but feasible. Best to keep them at least above zero in legendary though. Fire and pierce are most important, keep these above 40% if you can. Also resistance to your own damage type, well, when you do any
about resistance, pierce/vitality beside of fire/ice/lighting are the ones need be improved in later dificulties, poison more-less.
