Yeah no idea what those other guys are running it with
But the campaign is absolutely ASS with it

>>507414724
have you done your ascendency to double the effect of arcane surge? do you have that +50% regen while moving node? do you have eldritch battery?

I took EB as early as physically possible, like the second I could reach it

also can you afford a everlasting gaze? you can snipe one for half a divine

>>507414932
I give a shit
But druid/huntress were confirmed to be the first ones to be added by Jonathan himself (unless the plans change)
Druid was missing 1 of the 3 forms (1 is confirmed bear, 1 is the werewolf, last one is unknown)
Spear was essentially done but needed a balance pass and support gems ect.

I have my 2nd ascendancy. I took the Arcane Surge nodes and the +50% regen when moving. I don't have EB yet. Mainly because I'm so squishy and I need the ES.
I play SSF so I can't just buy my gear.

dont make poe2 into poe1

1 shotting screens of enemies is not fun and the majority of the poe1 playerbase agrees with this because they leave after the first couple weeks after getting their cosmetics, there is no gameplay keeping them there playing and its what poe2 needs to do differently to get and KEEP new players playing the game, it needs to be unique in its identity to poe1 otherwise why even play poe1 at this point if its 1 shot central for endgame they will nerf the fuck out of all builds and it will be for the good of the game act1-3 is the most fun part about poe2 and its because you combo enemies you dont 1 shot them, you deal with boss mechanics because you dont 1 shot them

you want this in endgame, the problem with endgame is the systems they need poe1 endgame systems with act1-3 gameplay e.g bosses in every map, league mechancs packed throughout maps good loot dropping from these mechanics similar pinnicle farming

thats the way forward for poe2 not this poe1 clone with nice graphics bullshit its boring as fuck

i wrote it on /v/ and im reposting it here for GGG devs lurking to see stick to the vision dont make poe 1 part 2 make poe2

Coming Soon!

>>507415050
The top 3 most meta builds at launch were
>SRS Infernalist
>HotG bleed/ignite Titan
>Invoker Bell

The top 3 most meta builds now are
>HotG bleed/ignite Titan
>Pillar Gemling
>MF Stormweaver Archmage

The strongest defensive layers are on the summoner (infernalist) which falls off really hard, invoker (evasion phys DR) and titan (hulking form)
The highest damaging builds are HotG titan and Pillar Gemling, both melee builds, with stormweaver being meta because of clear and MF, nothing to do with defense or high damage, it's just very item budget friendly to run MF on

What I'm saying is that you're simply wrong

>>507415370
Slow down now we don't know yet if ranger bias also applies to huntress they could easily decide that huntress is the designated shit forever class to keep their dex waifu without competition

>>507415278
>Mainly because I'm so squishy and I need the ES.
I don't think you understand - EB makes you way less squishy because now your mana and shield get combined into one huge HP pool, and now you no longer have to waste any time on shield recharge delay (and no longer have to waste passive points on recharge delay shield nodes)

as for good gear, I wouldn't call a low roll everlasting gaze that expensive, I managed to afford one before doing my first map.

>>507415428
>HotG bleed/ignite Titan
Lol
>Pillar Gemling
Ah yes. "Melee".

>Roll to avoid attack

i am fine with it. it's also fine to stop playing after a new fresh
if the final goal of 2-3 weeks of 8hours/day of grinding is not spectacular (zoomie) I don't think that would be a good thing
The game is almost solely about character growth and poe1 played like dogshit, but the underlying systems made it fun
d4 for example actually plays quite well but it's everything around it, from skill balance and numerics to legendaries, set based progression, ancient items ect. that fuck the game fundamentally

>>507415471
>>507415572
Oh, okay. So you had MoM too. I was confused as fuck.
I basically don't have any gear. My HP is around 700, ES is around 800 and MP is around 800 also.
What I'm worried is when I use Mana Tempest my MP goes down QUICK. So I basically lower my HP every spell I cast. Or do I just not run Mana Tempest?

>>507415428
>invoker (evasion phys DR)
How relevant PDR in this game actually? For a "melee" that explodes a screen of enemies with one storm wave and if you are ever hit, it's probably some kind of an elemental AoE

>>507415634
>pussying out is not melee
??
You drop it but you still do damage when it winds up. What I do is use it and if I can get a Perfect Strike off then that's just more damage+DoT. Or if it get's too serious and crowded just use Raise Shield and just not die.

>>507415651
I never really liked the "look ma no hands" feedback loop of Poe1. I liked it for the (at least nominal) build diversity. I thought that the re-baselining and revisiting core mechanics was to try and let that stuff come to the forefront, not stamp it into dust.

wouldn't the % damage taken from mana before life nodes be better at higher levels then just getting MoM?
50% less recovery seems hard, and if you can keep your life equal to the % of damage taken from mana before life it essentially serves the same purpose as MoM without the massive hit to regen
You can then also benefit from life regen and recovery effects like recoup by taking split damage

Why are these dogshit boxes not only back in the game, but also worse than they've ever been? Fucking retarded devs

>>507415741
my HP was about 800 when I made the swap to EB MoM. the mana being my health, but regenerating ultra fast, made me instantly die like 20x less while having 0 changes to my shitty campaign gear. also, I don't even have mana tempest equipped because I'm lazy

font of mana on orb of storms is great, the millisecond I see something high damage on the edge of my screen, I can orb of storm at my feet to immediately give me a big boost to mana regen

EB+MoM+font of mana+mana flask = so much regen you can face tank bosses in low tier maps with shitty gear

>>507415836
Anon you are more or less describing my build, and while the high points are quite high
>Or if it get's too serious and crowded just use Raise Shield and just not die.
This is great when it works, but you're leaving out the on-death effects, the rare modifiers that blap you out of absolutely nowhere, the ranged shit getting behind you and deleting you. The occasional slam that you don't see because you're pixel hunting for glowing (not actually) red circles.
Perfect strike also leads to me getting killed very quickly and suddenly, very often. And thats with a one hander optimized for attack speed.

I mean nice when it works. Until it doesn't. And now you're dead. This is shit that ranged characters just don't deal with. Now that reflect is gone they just keep blasting and not give a fuck.

Not a SINGLE guy is responding

Not a single

I hate trade

>>507415846
the campaign and early mapping nails this though
if you consider the time it takes your average non-optimal jobber to get there on a subsequent playthrough, lets say 20 hours? (poeggers will most likely do it within 8-10) and then the build popping off after roughly 30-40 (with popping off I mean Pillar Gemling-tier)
I think that's a fair amount of time to start blasting
You do some pinnacles and then you beat the game really
Maybe target some league rewards +- 20 more hours

I think this is a good time, if you want to go beyond that by either playing ssf or hc or ssfhc for a challenge or vibe or make new builds or just really try to wring out every possible power out of your build then that's just what I consider postgame and it doesn't really matter.

>>507415410
I completely agree. It's literally the point of them making a second game. PoE2 is not PoE1. One button screen-clearing builds are boring as fuck because the final goal is for them to literally all do the same thing with a slightly different explosion colour ala Mass Effect.
PoE1's redeeming trait was the diversity of the Atlas. The gameplay itself was menial bullshit that's the exact same between every build, with all "building" pretty much just being a balancing act to figure out how you can barely avoid being oneshot while getting enough damage to oneshot everything else yourself. The only reason I even came back each league is because I was hoping it was the league where they made melee fun, but every time ranged characters just did literally everything better, but at a distance, and there was zero fundamental reason to make a melee when the faggots with energy shield were always going to be tankier each league.

What do you know, it's the exactly the same as the current endgame and everyone fucking hates it. But at least PoE1 had the content depth to make it not as boring.

>>507416098
Why even put it up then

>>507416067
alright, last piece of advice I'll give you is this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IA3Yl69m8bo

he focuses on super budget spark stuff. I also liked captainlance9's spark videos and I consider him one of the best spark players, but his gear is like 20x more expensive than what I linked

is the lore of POE worth getting into and good? or is it just an afterthought or vehicle for the gameplay

>>507416212
Yeah I loved the campaign. Took me a while to get to maps because I run joke builds to get to mapping and I thought "surely it can't be that bad" when anons were doomposting. Turns out it actually was that bad.
Maybe I will join the "just run alts through campaign" team.
I don't really want to do HC though. It doesn't seem conducive to meme builds.

not saying I like players doing this, but I'm pretty sure it's just the craiglist approach of listing a ps5 for a penny. you have 0 intention of selling it for a penny, it's to get eyes on it and get people to ask you for the real price, and make it show up first on "sort by price" listings and so on

to add to this, I literally DM'd someone with a perfect everlasting for 1ex, and they responded saying "so are you going to give me an offer now", adding to the craigslist theory. he wasn't trying to scam noobs into listing their gazes for 1ex, he was trying to get players like me into messaging him so he could start bartering

Otherwise everything past like 80k had fuck all real difference because of diminishing returns. At that point, you went for extra layers of mitigation instead of more armor

Its why monk's Phys DR% is so strong, it's actual 40% reduction instead of 40%~ish (60% vs small mobs and 20% vs large mobs)
It also works better the more phys dmg taken you convert to other elements

>>507417246

Here's how to fix your armor build- swap your chest out for a cloak of flames. Use a shield. Layer your defences. Now you have damage mitigation from armor, damage conversion from cloak of flames (guaranteed 75% of 40%), and block.

poeninja for poe2 when

I don't know why but sometimes my character can move around but it can't auto attack or use abilities. It's gotten me killed a few times in maps

I'm bad at the game but i don't like the lack of agency you have to do stuff. Weird builds was the only reason i liked PoE1. Feels like you can't do anything. Maybe its a knowledge problem. If you look at bows all the energy is in lightning. You can't convert damage or anything. Its gay and lame. Shoot your lightning rods homo

I don't think you're too far off, this is basically the first major complaint mathil had about the game. even when playing weird off meta shit like hexblast demon or lightning warp monk or SRS comets, there's ultimately so little build variety, you are railroaded into the same nodes and gear a lot harder than poe1, and there's way less useful uniques that would help spice things up.

I suppose Ghostwrithe doesn't calculate life conversion to ES as if you had 819 life, you actually still have that much. CI doesn't REDUCE your life, it just counts your life pool as a whole, but in fact you still have 819 life.

>>507418926

freeze, but they're mostly interchangeable.

what can a demon form witch offer me over a stormweaver? wouldn't the stormweaver spellcaster be better in almost all situations?

I know there's some weird bug where you can get a shitload of stacks and 1 tap any boss with demon, but that's an obvious bug that will get patched soon. and builds that do this have to sacrifice all survivability anyways

Normally I say the exact same things, but the imbalance between classes and possible choices you can make is staggering. Many parts of the game are literally unplayable if you lock yourself into an F-tier path, and many more parts are 50x slower and more miserable for the C-D tiers.

It's not an MMO where you do what you want and find your niche. There is strictly better and worse.

I don't think the majority reaches that point, and it's either taking too long for the average person to get to that point, or even to get close to it. So in total, they lose interest in the game. So that one click screen explosion is lived through watching others do it, or people see their limp dick build hitting a wall and dropping the game.
The baldo argument was always a moot point.

what do the hands with the puppets do in the breach lord fight

what if instead of them nerfing archmage, they nerf spark? as far as I can tell, most of the other archmage non-spark builds are nowhere near as crazy strong/easy to play

Uhhhhhh it's only EA bro, it's a free game, err, sorry, a $30 game, and they only had 5 years to make it, that's not a lot of time okay... please ignore the fact that they also worked on poe 1 for 15 years before this and forgot all of their lessons... it's just a small indie companie bro, they only made $30mil on launch and god knows how much with mtx, don't expect too much...

Not a fucking excuse, the lessons they learnt from PoE1 should still be there.

>>507421942
There's a lot of leeway I'm honestly willing to give them for EA, even with them having charged for it. Like survivability layers falling apart at the end game of Cloak of Flame is dumb but it's understandable. Imbalanced ascendancies, bad skill distribution, an imperfect tree, whatever. That's shit I expect to get fixed over time.

What I can't fucking understand is people who defend choices like rarity which is so fucking retarded it's mind boggling. We dealt with this shit before. Or things like the god awful crafting situation. Or the map system being so incredibly frustrating and intensely boring at the same time. Who the fuck is still standing on these issues, I never understand it.

>>507422025
this team didnt learn anything from poe1. they're actively making the same mistakes.

>>507421953
They have almost 20 years of endgame making experience, and literally all the mechanics are just copy pasted from poe 1. I don't even know how people use this as an excuse.

>>507419478

>EA
The game costs $30, it was marketed as a full launch, and there is no way the "real launch" will surpass EA numbers. Calling the game early access is immense cope. It's just the usual unfinished game that will get finished in 3 to 5 years

>>507422116
>We dealt with this shit before.
there's so many interactions/bugs in poe2 that existed in poe1 years ago but got patched out, that they somehow reintroduced. like the 200% temporal chains just permanently freezing all monsters which breaks the game because now even unique bosses can't damage you. that's somehow still in poe2 even after all the patches, even though they had to patch that out of poe1 years ago

If you have wind dancer with Energy Barrier support, does it trigger the energy barrier at any time while you have wind dancer active, or only if you get stunned during the wind dance blast, which has no animation, so it never triggers?

who thought doing the league bosses so you get league passive points is a good idea when it takes 3 years to gather all the shit necessary to fight one of them

Then the automatic reload doesn't happen anymore, you can't shoot anymore and you have to manually reload it
