Before we start, I know i am not great at this game. I played half of 2 and was starting to get the swing of it but moved on when POE 2 came out.

I decided to give 3 a chance. Oh lord did I struggle. But, I kept at it. Now that I am well into act 3, I felt like I am finally getting the hang of the game.

But... I was messing around Last night and found the game statistics. Sheesh! 1,279 deaths. Yep. i am embarrassed. In a game most people have finished in 60 or so hours I am at 120. I admit, I have done all the side content and demons to this point, but dang. I am averaging 10 deaths an hour.

It was just sad to see how poorly I had played, even though I feel like now I have a better handle on it. Let me offer my admiration to those of you out there that excel at this game.

I will finish the game. What I lack in skill, I make up for in being bulkhead.

Thanks for allowing me to commiserate.

So... I just beat Hiroki and Tokugawa, so we'll into act 3, and i just learned about mist. I honesty thought that mist was the same as dodge. I honesty have played up to level 105 and have not once used this ability, at least not intentionally.

Honesty, if i had not seen a post on this forum asking about mist and realize the prompt was rb/left stick, I would have likely finished the game still thinking it was the same as dodge.

I have not had a chance to try it and I am worried that it might be too late because the muscle memory is not there. What do you all think? is it worth putting in some practice?

As a take away, if you are struggling, just remember if an old guy can get this far and never used a possible major mechanic, you can beat this game.

God I feel dumb!
