POOP OF EXCREMENT
Fix the fucking servers. I lost 40% xp today when I was almost at level 92 due to the random gay spikes during Breach
JUST LET ME DO WHAT I WANT FOR ENDGAMEFUCK MAPSFUCK BFRFUCK HFR
At some point Merc has to stop talking about doing this for gold I mean come on
bros i love my adoptive father renly so fucking much
I wish I could buy lvl2 and lvl3 support gems in bulk, nobody bothers selling them
>>507152379Gods probably have a lot of money that was tributed to them so he can keep this going for as long as he wants
Fix minions
if you want to wash your mouth from the unpolished poopoo2, grim dawn is on deep discount on steam winter sale :)
>wash the taste of shit out of your mouth with piss(^:
>>507152508I am waiting for new expansion
>>507152461support gems are retarded, there's no crafting with them and they aren't that rare, so they should just unlock permanently the first time you make one
>he's unironically shilling for grim dawn
>>507152615who?
what did ggg mean by this
>>507152610Yeah exactly. I feel shitty now that I know there are interesting variants of projectile chain that I can't get for tens of hours, for example
>>507152379It's just his way to avoid admitting being a good guy
turns out it's just not that good of a game
507152904Uh oh guys someone got stuck on one of the trials
PSA to noobs. dont try and melee attack colossus body, attack his left arm (his left) and when he lifts his arm in the air then just attack the empty area where his arm was. his body seems to go invulnerable every 5 seconds or something, sometimes i could hit with melee and sometimes it missed no matter what, attacking arm area worked even when it visually looked like it shouldnt.
Divine Orbs down to 66ex.
I'm not sure I understand the Warbringer.First is his Ancestral Totem.It's a Minion. With seemingly no way to scale it's power, well, no, you can scale it's power through minion stuff, not totem stuff, since it explicitly states it's a minion.Second, is the block nodes. The first one is kinda shit. 40% base can be gotten from a simple roll on a Shield. The second one is good, but you need to take the first one. So that's two Ascendancies used for Defensives. Third is the Jade thing.It locks you in place. Sure it has a passive defense on the same node, but it's only 10% and it only stacks 10 times, so that 10% is practically always gone. So you don't get anything from it and instead lock yourself down even more, making the game feel even shittier. No Warcry Cooldown is great for like two very specific builds, one of which is highly dependent on gear, the other being just "okay". But even that is locked behind a garbage node of exploding bodies for 25% of their HP, which is just okay and it's usually better just to kill shit on your own instead of relying on that.Armor Break nodes seem like the only thing worthwhile for that whole Ascendancy...
>>507152610>>507152765Whole system is fucking stupid. Where are support gem and quality levels? How did they get more basic than poe 1 instead of innovating on them?
>>507152998>stay just off of the left arm, away from him>he cannot damage you with anything nownice boss lol
>>507153007>sold when they were 85>mfw almost 900 Exalts>mfw in a week I'll be able to buy all them back for a fraction of the costshahahaha
>>507153020my favorite part of the corpse exploding node is that most cryfags will be using seismic cry, which pushes enemies so far away that they pretty much never corpse explode into each other. the warbringer tree is loaded with anti-synergy
>>507152989trials are easy. game is shit. watered down D3/D4 clone.
Is minion just dogshit or what>trash clear speed>visual diarrhea>low dmg ceiling>minions despawning every 5 seconds
>>507153020https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xn5v5L4XnSY
>>507153281buy an ad
latest ranger build dropped and it's ludo as fuck
It's bizarre how imbalanced nodes are on the tree. Like a lot of the time it doesn't really matter much but there're a bunch of nodes that just have double the value of other nodes for no discernible reason. 8% accuracy vs 8% accuracy and 8% critical chance
>>507153323JONATHAN DO SOMETHING
>>507153323>everyone is better monk than a monklol lmao even
>>507153303*slips 10ex into your pocket*Heh, there you go mr 4chan man!
I constantly run out of gold because I sometimes get an ingenious idea to change my build and it ends up being dogshit
>>507153323>it's just another pillar stackerit's not really a new build if you just do the same thing but throw the OP gear on a different character this time
>>507152610the existence of quality on currency in poe1 has no bearing on their attainability as you can just buy all of them at the end of the campaign and you don't quality them during the campaign but you still need to progress to get them, all poe2 needs to do is put a vendor at the end of the campaign to let you buy gems. supports are still a progression tool for new and fresh characters thats always what they have been, you do not understand poe1 fundementally if you cannot fathom this.
>>507153020There're quite a few ascendancies that're just really poorly designed even if they're at least strong enough to be playable. I guess PoE1 has had guardian since the dawn of time though so it's not really a PoE2 specific issue
>>507153247You didn't even make it to a trial
>>507153020>>507153230A lot of skill issues here all around.Warcry build is one of the best and can clear all content with no issue.I pull rares into some corpses and 1 shot them.Knockback is pretty gay fine I'll give you get that.Armor break is good all around.Both shield nodes are great. Allows you to use any low block shield you have. Blocking any hit makes you insanely tanky.Ancestral spirits are ridiculously good on hardcore. They body block and block projectiles.The only other one you're right about is jade, but that's only because I haven't used it to see for myself.
>>507153281Shit and slow.
https://www.reddit.com/r/PathOfExile2/comments/1hdzgnv/crossbow_reload_jamming/I knew I wasnt fucking crazy. What a great and immersive feature GGG. Bravo!
>>507153401Other ascendancies being better than the one that specializes in it seems to be a running theme
>>507153323>wow it's Flicker Strike for the 40th time>b-but this time it's a RangerWho gives a fuck. You can put basically any weapon on any class and get more or less the same results, albeit with some being better for itYou could Flicker Strike as a Witch and still make it work if you just take the outer ring - which you will, because gems are busted as fuck
>>507153401I'd say the most accurate way to put it is that "Deadeye is better than everyone" for the Xth year in a row.
>>507153581permanently per league obviously, not per account, having to jankily transfer support gems between characters is the gayest shit
>>507152421damn... 4 dead affixes lv50 boots...renly must really love you...
>>507153791>wtf i picked the tank ascendancy and it doesnt clear as fast as the glass canon builds!
>>507153913>permanently per leaguewell yeah thats what i mean, once you beat the campaign on one character have a lani equivalent where you buy all your gems from for the next characters thats literally the only thing thats missing, i'd rather poe2's system overall where you just pick a support instead of either muling supports from other classes or waiting to do the library for the 90000th time. if anything a more important change would be lowering the insane level requirements.
>>507154008Best part is that it's not even slow
>>507153660Fuck off lying faggot.
I rolled Ranger, which ascend notable do i take? Tailwind? Far shot or near shot? I'm guessing the accuracy one is useful but not very exciting
>>507154192tailwind -> point blank -> endless munitions -> wind ward
>Decimating Strike can cause enemies to die so fast you don't apply shock and don't get Herald of Thunder, causing your clear to actually be slower because it isn't going on other packs>Culling Strike checks damage before hit so you can't kill things knocking them into 30% but can't trigger Herald of Fire if you kill them below 30%witchhunter... why...
>>507154192tailwindfast = good
>>507154278Ok, i took Tailwind
I want to personally think all the retards out there blindly following builds and the auto dps calculation of the trading site for allowing me to buy godly hammers for dirt cheap
AUS SERVERS ARE SO FUCKED
>>507153401>>507153870I'd actually argue flicker monk is a bit stronger than flicker deadeye, most of them stack several CoF and use lightning warp, I've seen them clear much faster than that webm. and it's not just that webm, I can't find any examples of lightning warp or CoF on deadeyes

>sell the game in less than halfbaked state and fucked off on vacation leaving playerbase boiling in their own shit and piss, bugs and imbalance for the whole monthQuite telling. They treat it like it's failed project.
FAGGOTS OF THEOPOLIS! Choose your upcoming duellist and pit fighter ascendancies. Choose wisely, as you won't be able to orb of regret your way out of it.

>>507154774just chad roll over the death effect through the dead mobs as their death animation is still going
after two fucking days I finally found two citadels next to each othergood one, ggg
>>507156114It's a common phenomenon and it's amazing seeing THE SAME questions/posts regarding such in other generals. A recent one I had seen a lot recently was twg where there were frequent doomposts and of course, ESL and as a consequence, some people noticing and questioning it.

BEHOLD
>>507156742Spark isn't even close to overpowered
>>507156114mutts physically incapable to be against their corporation overlords, yeah
>>507156742Hey now Chaos is good you just need to afk for 10-20 minutes to get your Demon Form stacks up.
>>507156471Alkaizer seems to be doing okay.
How is incinerate? any way to move fast while channeling it? does demon form get different movement speed while channelling? Pathfinder has 30% less movement penalty from using skills, i know skills arent spells, maybe the wording is wrong and the talent actually includes spells and i can run around with a flamethrower? any support gems that increase movement speed while channeling?
>>507156114Doomposting doesn't correlate with the nationality. It correlates with an ability to think critically.
>>507156212>having to spend TWO WHOLE DAYS reaching endgame contentomg anon, do you need a few weeks rest to get over your extremes of suffering? perhaps for a bit of downtime you could climb Everast?
>>507157031He cheated his way through the game.
>>507157321go on...
>>507157064doomposters lack the ability to think critically, that's the sole reason why they are doomposters - they are stuck in their poor brown people mindset, devoid of all hope that things will ever get better in their authoritarian shithole for violent niggers.
She's way too fucking overtuned. I can fight 20 other bosses at the same time and have an easier time..
>>507153037Support gems don't need to level in the current system but it does feel a bit weird that the only progression in them is to unlock level 2 and 3 categories by playing far enough that they start dropping. Quality being gone doesn't make sense.
>>507157064Less jewish influence

PoE1 is simply superior gamePoE2 might be second or third, but why would I play inferior product
My widowhail that's been sitting dead in my stash since day 1 just got a bunch of whispers as I logged in. Sold it for cheap whatever not gonna relist it like a dick but is there some new widowhail meme or something?
>>507157414some bosses are going to be harder with some builds. as a ranger I just have to avoid the projectile AoE attack marked on the ground, I can see why the constant chip damage would be a problem for ES.
>>507156471Why would they buff it when I'm plowing through content without any problem whatsoever
>>507157409how much is Tencent paying you?
>>507156114it's just SEA niggers practicing their english. doomposts get the most (You)s
>>507157665Almost everything in PoE2 can have quality. Support gems are an exception.Quality on them would've been a way to scale those stats that they give further. They provide a lot of stuff that you can't otherwise get and it's weird that you can improve them at all.
>>507157891Warrior is the hardest of the six classes by far (except for minion witch without srs) so the average retard who picks STRslop in every game gets hard filtered by it
>>507157839corrupt gamba profits
>>507156114Because you associate two groups of people you don't like with each other.In my experience it's comfyniggers who tend to be SEA subhumans.

i won my fucking gamble and i just wanted to brag about it. crafted it from white base
>>507158083it's never been hard for me but admittedly I'm not a retard so that puts me ahead I imagine.
>>507157775After playing PoE2 for nearly 100 hours now, I can't come back to PoE1 anymore... PoE1 just feels outdated mindless dopamine slop. I just realized that most of the PoE1 hours I spent playing was while watching something else on second monitor.PoE2 tho, has solid foundation to become great game. I just hope GGG won't fuck it up like they did with introducing harvest league.
>>507158083yeah, they need to nerf the other classes until they are the same difficulty as Warrior.
>>507157912how brown is your skin?
>>507158382>I just realized that most of the PoE1 hours I spent playing was while watching something else on second monitorthis realization is what made me quit runescape
>>507157414bro just dodge
>>507158349I'm talking people who play Dark Souls 1 and just R1 spam through the entire game with a big axe and think it's reasonably challengingIf the idea of having more than 3 buttons bound is not intimidating to you then you are smarter than the average Warrior player
>>507158481you will never be white Chang
>>507157989Quality shouldn't exist at all. Crafting also shouldn't exist. Gear and gems should drop and be entirely set in stone.
>>507158552you will never be white pajeet
Is there a way to submit a bug report in game? or somewhere else?I got a quest popup called flame something and to talk to doryani but it happened in an untainted paradise so I assume it ate whatever item was supposed to drop

>>507158617I ended up quitting long before any of that happened
>>507157047>any way to move fast while channeling it?There's a support gem to slightly reduce movement pentaly while casting.Like in poe 1, anything that forces you to be immobile is unplayable garbage.
>>507157568if they had the ability to think critically their countries weren't such shitholes
>>507158349I'm a retard and warrior has been pretty easy for me too. Block is stupid strong. Lucky block even more so.

>>507158382>mindless dopamine sloppoe 2 is already this. not been paying attention to the builds people are making recently? it's getting fucking retarded you just fly around the map and blow up everything instantly. juiced high tier maps with a lot of rarity are printing stuoid amounts of loot.

>>507158802Not him but as a sorc on day 1 it was complete bullshit. There's damage constantly and I still have no idea what exactly I am supposed to do. She blinks everywhere too and there's always poison or some other damage raping my face.

>>507158827Just get lucky bro.
>>507158674I tried out rs3 a year ago, there's a quest where you help a non-binary butler find a killer. Your options are two fags (one who doesn't stop talking about all the wives/husbands he's had) with their hecken doggo, a nigger woman from lumby, a nigger veteran nigger, a pussy whipped king (Roald) and his slay qween wife who happens to secretly be a world famous adventurer.The game has aids now.

>>507159207Melee bleed ignite
I haven't seen a single Moment of Zen after like 7 hours of mapping.
>>507158548>the average Warrior playerI don't think the average Warrior player even realizes its possible to cast Earthquake and Infernal Cry BEFORE you are in melee range of a monster. its hard to understand how they struggle in Act 1 otherwise.
>>507153828Why the fuck did they make crossbows objectively worse than bows in every single aspect?
>>507158827Picking up every crossbow I saw and slamming it with mats. Took me at least two divines of material throwing out dead crossbows and I would have liked a better base to win but the economy is so bad it would have costed 20 divs for this to buy I wager. Crafting sucks but it's mandatory in PoE2 without the fixing options the first game has with how fucked prices are.
>>507159039*a nigger veteran old woman>>507159147Apparently. Whales and OSRS (also has aids, just not as blatant) are keeping it afloat.You may have quit before this happened but you know how you could disable that profanity filter? Before I quit, OSRS added another filter that you can't disable that included such disgusting words as "retarded" and "puta" (spic for whore, it also censored "put a" for a while).
>>507159457getting triple phys is still incredibly lucky, I'm 200 hours and haven't seen it and have been spamming bases and blues
>>507159147they're addicted and will eat any slop they're given
>>507158880>not been paying attention to the builds people are making?No. Not paying attention to any PoE2 content other than patch notes. I don't care what/how others play, I play how I like at my own pace.
>>507158883What about omens? They look pretty good for crafting.
>>507159528You're absolutely right. I went through dozens of crossbows and I consider myself lucky as fuck to finish it at this rate. I did the effort but it's really fucking stupid still that you have to go through this shit to get gear in this game. We really need crafting bench back and essences that don't suck shit
>>507159717extremely expensive, being bought by every crafting guild and group. not possible for anyone like us and really and forget about target farming them
>other classes will get flicker strike nerfed grim day for monkers
>>507157667I genuinely got way more waystones while doing campaign than when mapping
>>507159572sounds like you aren't even past the campaign. once you're past the campaign, the game becomes zoomier than poe 1 and there's no more slow, methodical combat that they promised and I was enjoying a lot.
>>507157989>Quality on them would've been a way to scale those stats that they give further.scaling player power isn't automatically a good thing, and the result would be that different supports would benefit more/less from scaling, creating a myriad of balance problems.I shouldn't even have to explain this to you, BTW. if you're a reasonably seasoned ARPG player you should understand how changing the balance of one thing changes everything else. before you know it the hardest content in the game is trivialized even in SSF and GGG have to add more tiers of maps, then people complain about endgame being too grindy. fuck that. in particular: PoE2's support gem system is a REACTION to PoE1's support gem system, designed by the people who dealt with the earlier system for a decade and had experience with everything wrong with it.
>>507159825No one uses flicker strike.
>>507159717Most omens barely improve your odds or don't actually help at all in reality like the stupid exalteds add two mods omen. The one good one that lets you target low tier mods is like 3 divs a pop or something.
>>507159039Wtf I must try Runescape now!PoE2 bad

Its a little easier but still hard>As soon as you reach Cruel Act 1: So I'm level 50 and just used some exalted orbs to buy upgrades. I am now one shotting every mob and every boss in the game until Tier 1 maps.Why would you design a game like this? Just to filter reddit?

>>507160243why would you try craft gear?why would you slog through cruel with level 15-20 rares with shit stats when you can just trade?
Bosses need to spawn on every map. Fuck.
>>507160191keep it up. ssf is the only way to enjoy either game. trade is retarded.
>>507158654>witch.aaah so you're complaining despite playing one of the most op classes in the game. >It's like they didn't playtest her for witch.Neon literally said that some bosses can be easier for some builds. the example was why they were letting adds in some bossfights be raised as temp minions, an interaction which benefits... witch.
>>507160404>why would you slog through cruel with level 15-20 rares with shit stats when you can just trade?that's for pussies
>>507160364>you suck at buiding characterst. sparktarded tradecuck
>>507160182leveling another class now, lost 3 t10 maps already zzzzzzz
>>507156768>no expeditioninto the trash
>>507160215Yeah but most warriors just get resolute technique and ignore it. The ones who do care about accuracy are rich enough to go for much better weapons
It's retarded that omens are the only crafting thing in the game
>>507160448I'm playing trade. Other than uniques I need, I don't trade. You don't have to care about trade playing trade league. Shocking, I know.
>>507160446I've gotten to tier 12s in ssf despite only doing 4 bossfights (got one-shot in 2). honestly now I regret not doing them from earlier just for the practice, but if every map had a bossfight people would complain about that too.
do i do it bros?
>>507160446Fuck off the last thing this game needs is more time spent fighting these bosses.
>>507160662do it pussy no balls
>>507160662vaal or no balls
>>507160662Yeah
>>507160653the bosses are the same as the ones in the campaign with more damage and hp... kinda boring
>>507160727PUSSY
>>507160632What about essences?
>>507160404trade trivializes progression. >>507158335 cares more about his weapon than anyone on trade who bought theirs, and I have a similar experience crafting a bow.
>>507160632Essences are in but they're pretty awful in their current state. Unless you're fishing for movement speed on boots they're really inefficient
>>507160094Cruel wasn't tested much, it's a temporary patch. We can only hope that Acts 4, 5 and 6 will feel better but as maps are now that's doubtful.
>>507160761Seeing Blackjaw in a T12 made my heart stop, before realizing I was no longer in Campaign or playing Crossbow Monk and melting him instantly
>>507160739>>507160749>>507160753its an improvement!
>>507159457SSF player here. this is the way crafting should stay. picking up items is meant to matter and needing them to craft is the way to do it. this way there is also space for GGG to add more different crafting options from the remaining league mechanics.
>>507160935Big mone
>>507160935can you add sockets to vaal'd items?
>>507160580nope, frostbolt SSF and shitting all over retards like you since day 1.serious advice for people who fail at this game - stop playing. it's fucking sad the see retards flail helplessly around.
>>507160813I made that crossbow and I would've bought in an instant instead if prices weren't absolutely fucked. Crafting is cancer. Give me back my bench.
>>507161036no
>>507160935based bricker
>>507159115>>507160364Specifically said it wasn't the clouds. My single target damage is frost bomb and ice comet. So those don't deal damage since she constantly moves around. So then it's just a matter of who runs out of life first, after 20minutes.>>507160524I don't play minions. It's boring.
>>507161146where are your frostwalls? frost bomb for exposure? ground effect ice curse?
>if you kill viper fast enough and on your first try you can see the two guards dragging alva through a doorneat
What about reforge bench?Why so many anons bitch about crafting in PoE2 and all they say is>hurr durr, transmute, aug, regal and slamHave you even tried other methods?
>>507161264don't forget weapon swap with +curse and rune of power
>>507160761>the bosses are the same as the ones in the campaignthere are changes, e.g. Lachlyan's arena doesn't have a big monument you can kite him around. its possible to reach endgame having simply forgotten the telegraphing of their one-shots, especially given the amount of sleep I missed reaching endgame.GGG also set the early map tier grind numbers too high and 10 tier 1-5s required, and the result was that I felt I didn't need an extra obstacle for completing maps. I just did irradiated content instead, and its gotten me to tier 13s so far.
All these new area types surely are for the coming acts, right?>>507161264Frostwall is what drains me very quickly. Ice curse is on blasphemy.
How assravaged is /poeg/ gonna be when POTCG gets nerfed into the fucking dirt?
>>507161071the bench is just a different kind of cancer. at least this version made crafting transparent and accessible instead of a ridiculous list of a billion affixes, none of which are as good as what can roll naturally on items no one ever picked up to id. maybe GGG is behind the inflation, that would be overwhelmingly based. sorry you learned the wrong lesson.
>>507161363it's expected
>>507161363either that or they make it 1000000x less common
>>507161363not at all, it's a fucking boring item
>>507161354>Ice curse is on blasphemy.that's just not optimal. white mobs are easy to kill and for rares/bosses you really want the curse effectiveness.the only curse to consider for blasphemy is temporal chains, because white mobs hit like fucking trucks.
Are there any white items that are worth keeping/selling for ppl to orb of chance?
>>507161282They nerfed the shit out of the reforge. I tried throwing quite a few decent weapons into it and I can't find any consistency, it just seems to spit out a completely random item of the same type with totally random modifiers so functionally as far as I can tell it's just a means to roll scrap to pick up and bricks into another gamble
>>507160761I really hoped we would have unique map bosses that are not pinnacles which also drop some nice permanent upgrades, but that would be too fun for the Vision it seems.
>>507161659advanced/expert dualstring bows for sure
>>507156114For one, he doesn't know what Christmas is
>>507161354strange. frostwall+frostbomb+comet is what absolutely deletes bosses for me. you seem to deal no damage for some reason.
>>507160813Crafting is garbage
>>507161354Thats just the titan grotto with a lava floor, basically just the crucible tileset
>>507161282its going to take a while for people to get the expectation of free item upgrades out of their systems.
why the fuck are the decrepit mercenaries so overpowered? they chunk me for like half of my life with basic attacks, meanwhile bosses do 1/4th
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cv7A61B2kA0AUSSIE SREVERS BTWTHANK YOU GGGWE ARE LITERALLY NEXT DOOR TO YOPU
>>507160207>Act 1 is easyIt is, but every time I posted a clip of my completely normal first run poe2 acted like something was horribly wrong with my character (everyone bought their way through standard instead of playing the real game)
>>507160228I should have started with monk instead of warrior. I lost so much time on that class that I feel like lagging behind everyone else.
>>507161669>it's just a means to roll scrap to pick up and bricks into another gambleits never been presented as a recombinator, it's a free base + alch. probably only worth doing with jewellry where the bases are quite rare.
why do some people pay such fucking insane prices for your stuff? i had a tab of random rares i found/slammed, a guy whispered me offering 50 ex for a chest piece, had decent stats i suppose, but who opens with such an offer? aren’t you supposed to lowball or is that only the chinese that do that
>>507161879That's not a monk.
>>507161904He gave you an offer you couldn't refuse
>noooo someone offered me more than i asked for WHAT THE FUCK
>>507161904he flips it for 4div
Now that the dust have settled. Did PoE2 fixed melee?
>>507161746confirmation biascrafting is meant to affect your interpretation of every single item you look at in the game. thank god GGG didn't go the Last Epoch route of letting people directly upgrade mod tiers to give casuals the easy dopamine hit.
>>507161931Oh right, I just skimmed through the video. What I meant was his attack skills.
>>507161042t. 85iq weight feeler cbt enjoyer
>>507161904>you MUST haggleHaggling is for fucking retards. Why intentionally say something high to offset someone putting it low. Just say what you're willing to pay and walk away if they don't take it.
>>507161904he has 700% rarity and makes 50 ex/rare. he offers that much to poorfags because the time he saves in getting you to immediately trade is worth more than the mere 50 exalts he gives you
>>507161832why do you keep running into unexplored space? If you are backtracing away from mobs it should be towards safety not more danger.
>>507161782masses of ranged mobs have always been THE gear check in poe. you need more defenses of some kind.
>>507161627I like the synergy with ice curse and chaos damage counting to freeze gem.>>507161743I'll try speccing off chaos damage into ice, my chaos for aoe is doing plenty.>>507161759Oh.. Well, good reuse of assets.
>>507161363Any build-breaking nerf making you quit at this point is just doing you a favor because the game has no content
>>507161487The thing about the bench is it doesn't help you get amazing items but it lets you build usable items. The huge gap in the game right now is that there are no reliable tools to fix your progression gear. You largely progress on low exalt cost gear you trade for because every avenue is way too cozy inefficient while crawling up then avoid upgrading like the plague since it destroys your resists, and then at end game when you start hunting bosses you take the plunge to gamble away until you get something usable because decent items go for a couple exalts but great items go for 50 divs.Off the top of my head, runes really shouldn't be permanently affixed so you can adjust resists and not have to hold off on slotting a piece in case you want to go for a soul core later. Investments in this game are often high risk low reward.
>>507162192literally ONE decrepit mercenary (white) deals more damage than some equivalent level boss slams. it's surreal
>>507161042>plays easy buildDo SSFsissies really Guess you have no choice being ssf, lmao

>mfw I've been using this since level 66 and I am not level 76help
>>507161782What's wild is that this is post nerf on that very specific mob. White decrepits were one shotting people off screen before the nerf.
>>507162339now* fuck
The optimization could use some work, damn. I didn't get FPS drops myself but the GPU jumped to almost 100% during a boss fight just because of some fire effects. People who play on a toaster must have like 10FPS during that moment
i love monk so much bros
>>507162339If it works it works
what's the easiest way to get rarity charms? every other charm is a useless piece of shit
When a weapon has %increased elemental damage, does that also count for elemental damage from skills?
>>507162505ayo this is sick gameplay haha. you should like use a tripcode or something so we all know it's you haha
>>507162505wtf that kill speed is genuinely slower than my perfect strike + HOA explosion warrior. monkbros, is this normal or is this guy a deviant who has strayed from the path and cannot see mount tai?
>>507161904I'll over offer for underpriced items too not to be nice but because I know that the guy is probably getting other whispers at listing price and I want to make sure I get the item at a fair price for both of us before I have to overpay for it. When you have stable currency it's often better to pay for good bases you'll build out if than to actually drop the divs on finished items
>>507162681>one shotting the pack is slower than charging up perfect shite
holy based
>monkyou haven't beat the game
>>507161831im in sydney. same thing. its aids.
>>507161282Reforge is a 3 for 1 vendor. I haven't seen any proof that the mods on the items you reforge has any bearing on the result.
>>507162681>kill speed>when they die in one storm wavehuh?
>>507162780Wow Trypanon
>>507161879lol same>log in on day 5>excited to finish act 3>everyone's talking about their "atlas map" and "waystone modifiers" and selling "4th asc carries 8ex" (now 160ex)
>>507162908>had to kill an aztec god for this
>get excited about runes>they're actually gems with no tiersAt least give them something interesting like set bonuses>2 iron runes = +10 flat phys damage>4 iron runes = +30% armour>6 iron runes = 5% of armour added as evasion
Not sure where to go after this. Everything else is kinda poopy.
>>507162240>reliable tools to fix your progression gearfeels like a weird thing to complain about in an RNG-based loot simulator. the effect of just giving players "tools" to reach the hardest content was just to make the hardest content into the new main game. >runes really shouldn't be permanently affixedI just watched a video by Raxxanterax where he made the same request, and every new arrival in his chat agreed. but runes were added to replace the crafting bench precisely BECAUSE they are not unsocketable: you have to make a real decision when to use a socket. the mindset you have of the game is currently a list of jobs to do to acheive the next arbitrary goal, and that even though GGG created both the goals and the obstacles, removing the obstacles will leave the goals just as meaningful (it won't). you really need to start playing SSF and leave all the whiny shitters to bitch about economics.
Reforge is such a shit replacement for 3to1 vendor too because you have to do one at a timePoE2 feels like a beta for PoE1 I swear. They took everything from the latter game and downgraded it
>>507163120Calling them runes was such a bait but I know the picked it to separate them from skill gems.
What is strongest build?
we are sekhema GAMING today boys
>>507162132>guy whispers me for boots not priced, but at least a div>30 ex>I ignore him>whispers me not one minute later>15 exI kek'd, and then I ignored him
>>507162258as a ranger the #1 thing I die to is white mobs with slams. white mobs are meant to be serious.the design intent is probably that decrepit mercs are no problem for Warriors who have Phys DR, but need to be dodged or taken out at distance by non-armour builds.
When swords and spears are added I wonder if weapon swapping for ranged and melee will actually be viable or if it'll just be a meme for mirror tier characters to show off one shot set ups
>>507163341Only thing worse than beggars are ESL beggars
>>507163341everything is getting nerfed in 1-2 weeks except warrior
>>507163352sekhema deez nuts

POE2 GOOD
>support gems>skill becomes a little bit better, but it deals 40-50% less damage>skill deal 25% more damage, but now it's literally unusableWhy?
>>507163232reforge bench is so newer players discover 3>1 in an organic way. it'd be nice to have an option buried in settings that changes the interface into a vendor window, so we can just click 6/9 etc items in at once. you should suggest it on the GGG forums.
>>507163512warrior is getting nerfed. just watch
Game is way easier as a ranger the only annoying thing i've discovered ranged is shield mobs that just straight up block all your shit. There's dudes in the eternal graveyard that have like a cast on block thing. Shits annoying
>>507163424I could see it if most of your scaling works for both and you use the weapon set points to get the weapon specific nodes.

>>507160094>just used some exalted orbs to buy upgradesCongratz, you let someone else beat the game for you
>>507163424>weapon swapping for ranged and meleenot even clear if this is the goal. seems more about swapping between elements, or swapping between 1H+S and 2H. ds_lily also uses shield charge as a deadeye to have a moveskill.
>>507163863doing my part
>>507163424It'll be 'viable' in that you can do it but if your ranged skill is good enough you're never pressing your smelee button.

>>507163771wouldn't be surprised if they dumpster warbringer warcry, GGG hates cheap stat stacking and cheap but almost-decent-but-not-quite-good budget builds in general. corrupting cry or no cooldown warcries is going to get tossed out
>>507163628I play maybe like an hour a day. I don't think I played at all yesterday. I'm not enjoying endgame and the build archetypes we have currently aren't hugely appealing to me. Hoping we get something new in January.

>>507162668weird post
>>507163936THATS NOT FAIR!
any one use plasma blast how do you build
>>507163207The mindset I have is that I'm playing a game of character building and I want to try things out and see how they play. There are many other ARPGs with a fantastic SSF experience, Grim Dawn handles it extremely well, PoE never has and people who want the game to be a challenge and punishment on all fronts are only looking to boost their own ego. Having to replace large swathes of your gear to fix resists because you crafted an upgrade is not fun or satisfying, it adds tedium onto a task you've already proven you're capable of accomplishing. I'm very obviously capable of crafting my own gear that we're having this conversation to begin with, I'm just not ass to lord it over other players even if I like to flaunt the piece. The whole question of "why complain about the game you're engaging" is always answered with "why complain about other people complaining". The systems at hand do not prove mastery, they prove luck and a handful of free time where they're at. Your choices should punish you when they're mistakes, but they shouldn't punish you for factors you've established are out of your hands.
>>507163804how have you not found out how to easily kill those few select mobs in the very first seconds you encountered them?
>>507163804those are the only enemies in the game that do thatalso if you're that early in the game you have no fucking idea about anything

>>507164148not him, but your mindset is completely irrelevant to your point, since you can easily level any build to lvl 80 (where it should be long finished) and fully gear it with cheap shit to be capable of clearing the majority of content. >b-b-but I wanna SSFguess you don't care about building and testing lots of characters then, since fully leveling and gearing any character solo in any action-rpg takes ages, so what's the problem?

>>507165451it's excellent at explaining actually. compared to poe1 anyway
>>507164726I don't want to SSF. I play trade, I craft when it's more viable. My point is that the limitations don't help anyone and economic issues created by the game systems bring down everyone. The only reason to want a high entry barrier is to look down on people.If you needed to fix shit up in PoE1, the crafting bench enabled that. Those tools don't really exist here. Progression is largely locked to buying until end game then RNG slamming when you hit that wall. Players who steal a guide every league and play the same shit everyone else is playing while buying everything because their build is powerful enough to run on low investment should be supported as much as players who want to play weird jank ideas that require highly specific crafts. They're simply not incompatible ideas. And you should be rewarded for progression when you drop, craft or buy upgrades instead of it being an esoteric process of rearranging everything so your EHP doesn't go down until you complete two other pieces.

>>507164148>The mindset I have is that I'm playing a game of character building and I want to try things out and see how they play.you're not "trying something out" by buying items that give you more damage, though. you're just making your character do more damage. there is no extra gameplay being experienced. >PoE never has and people who want the game to be a challenge and punishment on all fronts are only looking to boost their own ego.you're saying that wanting content to be *easier* is the *less* egotistical option. that implies that you think the reason to play games is somehow performative, like I can only be enjoying hard content if it lets me imagine myself to be elite in comparison with trade. no, it means that I'm still trying to grind out the tier 12 completion bonus, but that doing so is more meaningful because its not based on going to the mall and getting a 400pdps bow. >The whole question of "why complain about the game you're engaging" is always answered with "why complain about other people complaining". yeah you can answer like that, but its a deflection. I examined your complaints directly. I didn't complain about trade league being too easy, I'm just saying that the solution to your complaints is to stop playing trade league so items can matter again instead of being something you have to acquire to fill out a passport application to Endgame. >The systems at hand do not prove mastery, they prove luck and a handful of free time where they're atyeah: its an ARPG. the whole point of procedurally generated content is to give infinite extra playtime. finding usable RNG loot on the ground is meaningful because the devs didn't put it there. if you want to pick up PoE, play it for a couple of weeks, feel like you've done everything and quit until next league, trade league is fine.

>>507165593>compared to poe1 anyway>some items can be corrupted. it changes things. sometimes. and some items can modify it after, some can't.Descriptions worse than this are hard to imagine, genuinely impressive how bad it is.
>>507166008it's a titan thing, prison pocket node
What nerfs did i miss in the past 24h?
is anyone using charms except for extra rarity?
>got another character to act 3 and stoppedboring jungle maps make me so sleeeepy
>>507165941just like how you view the game
>>507166072that's literally the point or corruption though it's unpredictable. why don't you post one of the other thousand descriptions of keywords instead of cherry picking
>>507166113stun on my ranger
Is the right bow better than the left?
>>507166187I'm not going to argue with you over something this retarded. If you think it's good go open the bleed or poison descriptions and try explain them to a new player.
>>507166113Just treat whatever slots you get as an extra node for defense you can't hit on your build. Mine is just stun immunity because fuck those ostriches that jump at you literally nothing has killed me more
>>507165491torchlight infinite
>>507166274dumdum
why is everything so fucking expensive
>>507166072this description isn't trying to describe why you might corrupt an item.
>>507166113Stun or freeze immunity
>>507166271press g look at skill put bow 1 in look at skill dps put bow 2 in look at skill dps
>>507166187>it's unpredictable>has set possible outcomes that are unique to each item typenot unpredictable at all, stop glazing bad devs
>>507166271yes
>Favoured map slot unlockedWhere's the menu?
>>507153037>>507157501>Where are support gem and quality levels?Do you really want them to nerf support gems by 10% and give it back to you via quality? Are you dumb?
>>507166372He's not wrong, I did a poison build and didn't know about it scaling off of the initial projectile hit and didn't find out until someone told me probably 20 hours in because absolutely nothing ingame says that
>>507166498there's no way to fit a description of what can happen when you corrupt an item into a tooltip, so they didn't try.
>>507166615press alt and mouse over the word 'poison'
>>507165593They should have underlines for increased and more. Shit like "corruption corrupts items" is not a useful description. "All sources increased are summed before applying multiplicatively, likewise all sources of more are summed and then applied multiplicatively after increased damage" would be nice. At least I think thats how it works. There's no description in game so I don't know.
>>507165631>The only reason to want a high entry barrier is to look down on peopleNo, that's YOUR impression, either because you feel intellectually threatened by the game (low IQ retards often react like this), or because you yourself look down on people every chance you get and are now afraid the same thing happens to you right now.>you should be rewarded for progression when you dropFirst of all, (you) don't drop items, they are dropped by the mobs/game for you. And you get plenty rewarded for progression, it's just what you make of it. >an esoteric process of rearranging everything so your EHP doesn't go downAgain, sounds like a (you) problem.
>>507166725>"corruption corrupts items"who are you quoting?
>>507166072>>507166790
>>507153020>>507153230>corpse explosion badNeither of you have ever had more than 5 opponents on the screen at the same time.
Calling all veterans, please give me your best tips/tricks/advice for SSF.My dick is ready.
>>507166725>changes properties unpredictablyI'd say thats accurate.
>>507166817that line is not in the tooltip anon. why are you lying?
>>507166849learn a foreign language or lift some weights instead
>>507166849check vendors every level, use your currency on promising blue items
>>507153791>top 10 on the ladder
>>507166845I've not tried it but exploding every corpose on screen with zero cooldown must be fucking incredible when doing Breaches.
>>507166879>>507166883I'm asking for tooltips on the stuff that is actually important and not readily apparent you absolute autists. The tooltip about corruption is fine. It says about as much as you could reasonably say without having a bullet point list of every corrupted mod.My point was that unlike corruption, you can concisely describe what increased/more means, and unlike corruption, its actually very important to know that increased/more words are actually used very specifically despite the fact that to a new player, they just look like two words that mean the same thing.
>>507166849lots of trips back to town to vendor/disenchant/salvage everything so you have more resources to piss away in vain when you get stuck
>>507153281Lol this game is normie fuel. What a shit fucking build but this is the exact slop ggg wants people to do
>>507164689>no spectres>no swords>no axes>no daggers>no claws>no traps>no mines>no brandsreally not a lot of reason to play right now
>>507166849buy some more stash tabs cause you should keep everything. if something is halfway decent for an alt or a different build, keep it. keep all uniques. salvage every quality/socketed thing u dont need cause youll need the orbs/scraps. engage in every mechanic. forget everything you know about the value of things. you will use divines to get a slightly higher roll on an item, cause that's what they do.
Groovin
>>507167108I didn't play poe1 but I see people talking about spectre a lot, what did it do?
>>507157047Yeah, I also wanted to play with incinerate, but it makes you too slow...
>>507165428they are the same rarity
wtf, i was stuck on Jamanra and died like 20 times to himthis last time i respawned, the boss arena was empty and i didnt have to fight him, he just disappeared and i can proceed to the next area nowwtf, is that a bug? i didnt get to kill him
>>507154912They aren't going to fix shit anyway
>>507156523>solve world hunger>even more 3rd worldersGenius plan. Almost as smart as his idea that you make a ton of ad revenue off of people who can't buy anything.
>>507166428That's not current is it?
>>507167319It's a hidden pity system to let the mentally challenged enjoy the campaign.
>>507163734yeah
>>507167051there is value in obfuscation of the nitty gritty details, it prevents new players from being totally overwhelmed with text. by the time you need to know that stuff you can ask in chat. it's an online game after all.
>>507167217Let you raise any (non boss) monster as a ghost (your minion).It's pretty cool, because they use their special attacks and/or give buffs/auras.
>>507167319did he die after you died and you missed it
>>507167245are they all the same base? advanced/expert etc?
>>507167514oh that's cool as fuck
>>507167435really?im on cruel difficulty and the fucking boss had like 3 different attacks that would just one shot me and instead of going back and adjusting my gear, i just kept spamming him since it takes 2 seconds to get back to his arena and fight him again
>>507167217Spectres are in-game monsters raised as minions.Big thing for PoE2 is that they're changing them to be less gimmicky to use and supposedly all monsters are designed to be spectreable. In 1 you had a spectre limit so you only wanted to raise the strongest spectres but 2 is supposed to have their spirit cost balanced around their power level so you could in theory play a bunch of weaker ones or even have multiple different types of spectres with the way the new bind spectre gem is supposed to work in that it transforms to raise the monster you chose to bind in it.
>>507160094This is false. The first mob that can one shot you in the campaign is that ape boss in act3. And that monke calls you the day before to warn you about the slam is about to do.The only rough part of normal Act1 is the count if you don't have strong mobbing for the fog phase... Until you start using 2% brain power and slot some ice res. After that it's smooth sailing, I don't know why people keep touting the campaign as some sort of "dark soul difficult game", campaign and cruel are not hard. Post campaign is degen stuff.
>>507167501Except this isn't some obscure mechanic. Its pretty elementary. There are many skills which function only to add "more" damage. When I first played my shit was all fucked up because I saw "30% more damage? That's crap. I have plenty of sources of cheaper sources with bigger numbers!" not realising that increased != more so not even realising there was something I needed look up/ask in the first place.
>zero exalts made all day longholy shit
>>507157047Classic incinerate was a stand still and face tank shit build and there's no way ggg will let that comes back.
>Specters aren't resummonable/don't revive>Minions still despawn when the go off screenScreenshot this
>>507167681what's your rarity at?
>>507158607Sounds like the map completion quest. Doesn't Doryani give you the skill book? So untainted paradise shouldn't be an issue.
>>507167559They are all "Advanced Crackling Quarterstaff", and they all literally have the very exact same stats
Last Epoch has a more fun endgame than PoE2
>>507167549maybe, i'm not sure, i died, and then i think i tabbed out for a bit, then i tabbed back in, hit respawn and ran back in the arena and he wasn't there anymore
>>507167648Act 2 first boss can oneshot with the last swing of the triple swing. I think Count has some oneshot-able abilities if you have no str or life on gear.Even Ritualboss might have one.
>>507159207It's already good. No theory needed.
>>507163936Is that orb of storms with unleash?
>>507167727They removed specters obviously because they were too strong. Probably a bunch of minions that seemed way stronger than their baseline but as usual, are a complete joke when put beside the average blaster buildGod knows what we'll get, when we get them, and it'll probably be months if they're going over all the existing corpses with a fine toothed comb to make sure none of its actually good.
>>507167681Literally make new char and go through campaign. Campaign farming is a thing.
>>507167648>mobbing
>>507160243Good thing that I bought my gear with divines.
>>507167727Spectres are confirmed to be spirit minions that revive.>>507167917I think they got removed because some of them had way too much life and DD allowed you to oneshot bosses with them.
>>507167675i mean the game gives you tooltip dps and even lets you hold shift when hovering over passive tree nodes to see the dps increase so even if you don't know the difference between more and increased it's still very easy to tell which choice results in more dps. besides it's like something you learn once and then you know it, big deal, guess what there's a lot more to learn that you don't know yet, welcome to poe, if you don't like the process of learning and mastery of the systems then you don't like it
>>507167805Nigga, Jonathan templated LE's mechanics and repacked it as poo2. I'm sure it will be better in 10 years though.
>>507167981>I think they got removed because some of them had way too much life and DD allowed you to oneshot bosses with them.There's also weird ones like the fucking drowners that will just gib you if you stand in their dumb waterball for a whole 0.00001 seconds.If that works how it seem to, I could see that being lmao tier.
>>507167727>raise spectre>raise zombie>raise>zombies aren't permanent anymore Oh no no no, spectre bros... I don't feel so good...
>>507167581based corpse-rusherggg are all-forgiving and can even accomodate your "playstyle" in this, the game of games.
>>507168078It's called Bind Spectre in PoE2 and it's a fucking pokeball except you capture the corpse of a monster.

Because I'm arguing if they're going to have tooltips, this case of a fundamental and easily explained but not immediately obvious difference between more and increased is a very good use case for the idea.
how are minion players going with just mass army of basic skellies? does it work? how many can you have? is it an active playstyle or can i just afk while they swarm everything, maybe throw a curse out like in d2
>>507167805and yet you are advertizing in PoE's thread and LE's thread doesn't exist.
>>507168252idk idc anymore i'm bored of this conversation. more tooltips is fine
So wait is Witch NOT getting a minion focused ascendancy?
>>507168280It's active, you walk around and cast flame wall to summon srs and wait for your skellies and srs to kill everything while you try not to die.
Div is crashing but the chink cartel demands 100avg exalt per item so we'll just see everything be 4div instead of 1.
>>507168426Look how they massacred my raging boys
>>507167934>Campaign farming is a thing.???
put a boss in every map ggg you hack frauds
>>507168419>more tooltips is fineDo you want s fucking poe encyclopedia in your tooltips? I swear to god, most of you bitching about tooltips can't fucking read
>everyone but me is chinese
>>507168420Nope minions will forever be shit sadly
>>507168280no one knows because every single minion player is using the same build.
>>507168420uhhh bro, you're infernalist?
>>507168490Campaign showers you with exalts. I've gotten two divines as well
>>507167917They just have too much utility, especially the affliction specters.
>>507168543All non-chinese players are just price checkers.
>>507168590yeah nah fuck off
>>507168520They will add obnoxious objectives to every map>find (thing) before time runs out>complete (encounter)It'll be forsaken masters but not optional and in every map

>>507167934>>507168590kill yourself empy
>>507163232>poe2 feels like a beta of poe1Because it is. It's "what they wanted the game to originally be we just didn't have the technology". These people are insane; willfully destroying what made their game successful in the first place for muh vision
>>507168426ya i saw the flamewall srs stuff, if i try witch next though i wanna go full basic skeletonman though so i guess i'll see. i don't mind if it's less effective as long as it works and feels somewhat like d2 necro
>>507168550Amazing, thank you fat bald retard.>>507168581I hate SRS
I spent 4 gcp for one (1) additional raging spirit
new neversink dropped
>>507167917>>507168040they were disabled because they were too big a coding and balancing job to do for now, someone would have to go through every monster type and fix interactions like the drowning orb one which were only coded to affect players.
>>507168693Its absolute dogshit.
>>507168693Fuck, I miss my now-20-year-old necro who died when my hard disk got stroked 10 years ago.Only witch can do that now, right?
Druid will be the real minion build, trust the plan
>>507168713Insane that GGG didn't even bother with a default filter
>>507168703nothing about infernalist encourages SRS use, if they made another miniontard ascendancy it'd also use SRS
GGG be like>here's our melee class you get 4 skillsAlso GGG>you can turn every monster into a spectre skill gem adding an effective 1000 skills
>>507168657fuck u
>>507167870yes
Bros, do I hold or do I sell?
>>507168034And made it worse some fucking how, which is quite an achievement considering how shitty le endgame was on release.
>>507168520This. My build is literally only good at killing bosses.
why do i need to be stunlocked every time i block or get hit?
TOUCH OF COPEK
What is your mapper and what is your bosser build?
>>507169037to feel the weight
>>507169037Because it's supposed to be like souls games
>>507169037You don't get stunlocked everytime.Get more life. Get more stun threshold if you are a frail spellcuck with long casttimes.
>Warcaller's Bellow: Corpses in your Presence Explode when you Warcry, dealing 25% of their Life as Physical Damagewhat's the range like on this shit? i'm always wary of corpse explode stuff that soubds good but in reality is tiny range and can't chain for shit
>>507169037You should spec more life on the passive tree
>>507169037WEAKLING
>>507169037wear a stun charm
>>507169094Uninstall wizard for both.

>>507168818>implying neversink isn't a GGG employee working on shortterm contract
>>507168931You can only have 1 orb active at a time.

>>507169302flails are going to be even slower than maces
>>507169195>In Your Presenceiirc 8 or 9 meters, everything on-screen
A week or so ago I saw another anon post that it really bothered him that none of mercs ascendancies fit his personality I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since
Jamanra(forma de skeletor) just bent over and ravaged my storm sorcwhat do I do here? respec all into shields? get elemental lifesteal? the game was relatively easy until this point but he just absolutely wrecks me
>>507169454i have like 6 characters and i already want to make 2 more now,a minioncuck and a warcry guy
>>507169434they won't ever be, they replaced pretty much all strike skills with basic attack on the belief that you can replicate the behavior of those strike skills with support gems even though you can't
respec should be 100% free
>>507169176you get STUNLOCKED on every single mobwith 14K ES with every threshold node taken
>>507169474But what ascendancies would fit his personality?
>>507169509wear 2 lightning res rings
>>507169373Overabundance
>>507169449nope, the stats for them are already in the game and they are very slightly faster but 1H only.
>>507169550Your fucking retarded. I play a self cast comet build with 2s cast times and doing fine with mobs on top of me. 5k ES.
>>507169454In your presence is specifically 6 meters

>>507169434>me just using mace strike
>>507169550>whining about the one downside of playing the most busted defensive in the gameThe gall on this retard
Is there a way/trick to search for a specific mod for Against The Darkness on trade? The one I'm after isn't in the list of modifiers in the trade site. And of course you can only load a handful of results before the site stonewalls you.
>>507169543the skill tree should be disabled by default and automatically load whatever the meta build is until I specifically unlock it in settings. I don't like thinking or making decisions. >>507169680well, I said iirc
>finish the campaign>start maps>bored immediately This endgame sucks. Drop rates are way too low and it doesn't feel like I'm progressing anymore.
shieeet boys used all my luck for this one
>>507169846you are a colossal retard, I bet you were a part of the same choir who preached about never adding wasd because d2 didn't have itpromptly kys
>every mace skill is so shit you have to resort to autoattacking to get shit done
sanguimancy is an insane amount of defensive value for only 2 ascendancy pointscan't believe doomers were fudding blood witch
>>507169792like 80% of the complaints in these threads are from people who chose to do something that made the game easier, complaining about an issue which only became a problem because of that initial decision.
my poe dicki do the stinki doo
>>507169945it's hard to be a clever as you, especially your ability to unfailingly detect sarcasm. I just have to try my best to reach even 10% of what you can accomplish.
>go to sleep>something inexplicable happens in chink hours>find out I've lost dozens of exalts in value againThe Chinese mind is incomprehensible.
>>507169638lol kill yourself
So this is a bug in PoE2? Nice game, GGG
how the fuck do i get minion levels on helm
Why am I not getting any divine drops?
>>507170235You have been shadow banned from currency drops
>>507170235the federal reserve has raised interest rates to control inflation.
>>507170235What would happen if chinks got split onto a separate server?
>>507170361Trade would die
>>507170214the fact they built poe2 directly on top of poe1 is a fucking travesty.
the shitty ui is starting to get to me
>>507170361Divs would be 10 exalts, very few items would be listed for divs, and everyone would easily be able to buy what they need.
>>507170361I thought they already were lmao
>>507170235you did make sure your account seed was good before getting past the miller right?
>>507170219By using poe2 sophisticated crafting mechanisms.
>>507170417I bet a bunch of triple A developers are incredibly jealous of how cost-effectively it lets GGG make content.
>>507169975>sanguinomancy It's a build around ascendancy, you can't go pumping up +gem levels and cast speed with it, and you need to be more careful with mana multipliers and mana costs in general.
>>507170428What do you mean? UI is absolutely great!t. Console player
so what are we playing while waiting on endgame changes Grim dawn cheap as chips rnMight see how last epoch has improved since launch
>>507170417>awful optimization and performance>even bricks people's computersit shows
>>507169931>>507169931
is there a reason not to just go legionnaire for every build, no matter what skill you're focusing on? gem quality seems to be king
>>507170621>so what are we playing while waiting on endgame changesPath of Exile 2, then Path of Exile 1, then Path of Exile 2 again whenever the next league and content reveal come around.
>over 200% increased chance to shock>hit a white mob for 80% of its health with one lightning hit>doesn't get shockedexplain this shit to me
>>507170621I quit last epoch when i hit the "max your ress now" wall realised i could just go back to poe
>>507170663more difficult levelling and gearing as your leaguestarter.
>>507170235unironically, buy a supporter pack. you will get a div drop within your first few maps guaranteed
>>507170692Maybe he's immune to shock
>>507168078The funny thing about zombies is that they're completely unusable. You have a limit of 10? but need powe charges to use them and the only way to get power charges as a minion fag is to wear a weapon type that doesn't scale minions. Lmao
>>507170794I did this, didn't work. Will try again with the next tier
>>507170692shock chance is based on damage multiplied by your %chance to shock which is then compared against the monster's elemental threshold. if you want to do lightning conduit shenanigans, use lightning bolt.
>>507170860You have skills that give powercharges on cull
>>507170692>shock is worded like all relevant hits will always shock and the amount of adds up until max shock>I've never seen under max shock
>>507168280Melee skellies are irredeemable dogshit
>>507170361But they do have their own server
>tower>walk towards one of the large rooms with walls>suddenly instafrozen by those wraiths>gorillion spearchuckers crit vuln and throws spears at me>map gone
>>507170692shock chance scales the effective lightning damage of your hit, but if the total is still less than the monster's ailment threshold (which would give you a true 100% chance to shock) there is still a chance you can fail to shock them. lightning damage also has high varience so you're probably never going to be able to shock 100% of the time, and that's intended.
>>507169539If they can't bring back smite, lightning strike, static strike in an updated manner, then the game is doomed. They managed to bring back molten strike and turn it into a slam, bone shatter is probably the closet to a strike skill they added. But if they don't bring back strikes, then I see no future.
>>507168693You can't be a skelliemancer in this game cuz reasons. Every other build gets a top end where they teleport around exploding screens by yelling jumping or zipping, but if minionfags aren't getting stuck on doors every 5 seconds then they are too powerful. Don't support this game anon
>>507171029Those fukcing doors man.Always check the corners before breaching.
>>507171029You should only be using t1 for towers
>>507171102>Every other build gets a top end where they teleport around*sad gas merc noises*
>blood mage can't leech life spent on casting spells by bleeding enemiesggg are a bunch of hacks
What's better if I don't want to use Totems;>Warbringer>Titan
>>507169953crazy how we got the shittiest weapon type first
>>507171313What
>>507171313blood mage should have an interaction where your skills, which use life/blood, cause enemies to explode/burst into blood and if you walk over that blood you passively leech it. and you should be able to scale that.
>>507171371Crossbow should let you use an offhand bag of bolts
>>507171479that sounds complicated, best we can do is a jpg and a couple of stats
>>507169953for me, it's perfect strike + faster attacks + window of opportunity. blow up packs in one hit and max aoe for ginormous hoa/cry explosions
>thought I had several spirit gems>decide to gamble on my aura>brick it with vaal trying to get 4 link>whatever, I'll just stick to a 3 link for now>no spirit gems>fuck>try to buy one>out of the 100 people selling>not a single one respondsHoly fucking fhsdkjghsfndk MAKE A FUCKING AUCTION HOUSE

Fix your shit GGG.Kinda shame too, my build started being fun finally after getting Mace Strike to 1.4 ASDP with my dual wield 2h maces.>>507170663Titan's +50% small passive nodes effect is the king imo if you're planning a build in that area of the tree. Don't get too excited about 20 extra inventory slots though, it's buggy as hell (I know, what a surprise).

>>507168280Most are playing SRS which is quite active. Without SRS minions would be less active but the minions still have command skills unless you go full skeleton warrior. You can have ~20 skeletons out with proper gear unless you mass the more expensive ones.DD "minionbuilds" run with a couple high health brutes that are used for DD with the Sacrifice spirit skill.
>>507171959there are plenty of cheap skills, incinerate for example works great for acts 2 and 3.

>>507169539>No multi strike>No ancestral support>Flicker strike could be a support but instead its a neutered version of Poe1 flicker strike that requires a quarterstaffWhy did they think this was an improvement to melee? What did they improve?
The new gem system a shit.Greater and Perfect jew orbs are so fucking rare you'll never use them on other shit to experiment. At least with item sockets you could try out different skills and use your 6 links on other characters if you wanted to.
>>507171902Oh shit

>>507171902>low level spirit gems sell for 1 divine because of energy skills abuse?
>>507168693I would recommend staying away from them until they patch the despawning. It's super annoying to play with.Early game SRS is basically mandatory because the skeletons are too weak and die one shot to every boss and most normal mobs.

>>507167501>there is value in obfuscation of the nitty gritty detailsBasic damage calculation should not be something a player has to google to figure out how it works. It should be explained in-game. If you disagree with this then you're too deep in the maze.

People saying they miss 6L chests and shit like that are full retard. Maybe its just because my brain is on SSF shit but 6L shit was fucking digusting in PoE1. Your option was other raw dog link something and trust BFR RNG doesn't fuck you or save up for the above average cost of the bench craft. So do you trust BFR averages?
endgame bosses locked behind insane rng ( no citadels logbooks invitations ) sucks really bad

>pick up a wisdom scroll>"a rarity and all mine"what the fuck
If poe2 is so good, why is there no poe2 2
What are the elemental and similar icons on the bottom-right area of the enemy health bars? The things they're resistant to?
>>507152379Go kill the bog witch. Or go to a sacrificial altar in Act 3. Merc's writing is the best, fucking love cynic with a heart of gold characters.
Why didn't they make stampede vaal earthquake
>>507173079Some people know how to appreciate small things in life.
>>507166934>>507167052>>507167139Thanks bros. I'm still in Act 2 running a build-as-you-drop Chrono. Comfy so far.
>>507153020Armor break and turtle shell are great.
>>507173065Okay anon I'll explain it more simply.Notice that in Poe, most strike skills have a long wind up and very short ending lag. That is very unconventional in action games, and there's a reason for that. With a short wind up lag and a long ending lag positioning is a lot simpler, but you still have the opportunity cost of actually making the swing and limit the rate that players can attack.There are also aesthetic benefits, it feels nicer having a quick swing with a lot of overswing since that gives it a feeling of momentum and dare I say, weight.
>>507173189Sounds too fun. You don't want to get too excited. - Weight Team
Pconc, a meme or actually good? Also, could I use it with a shield?
>>507173261Not that anon, but how does it compare to Titan. They look fantastic and they're the only reason I've been considering it over Titan. I just want to slam things or stampede everywhere. But Titan getting better slams or even more so, that 50% on all minor nodes is pretty insane.
>>507172901Kek, also, don't you love it when mobs move away from you after getting stunned just for your character to keep attacking in place and missing all hits? Stellar design.
As a grenade merc, what should I be looking for in jewls? Have like 4 slots with random shit inside
>>507171337Depends on what you want to do. I don't think Warbringer would be very good if you don't want to camp warcries too.
>open ritual>invulnerability aura
holy shit why are bosses so pathetic? act 2 cruel bosses are dealing like 300-600 damage on a slam which is fucking nothing
I wouldn't know, every mob dies before I get a chance to stun them Grenade merc btw
>>507173589zdps is kind of fun to play through the game once though just to see all the boss abilities and lines
is monk with cast on something with the 2x energy sceptre any good? seems fucking fine
I hope the campaign gets better as the EA gets closer to release. I love the campaign in PoE1 and I usually quit once I hit maps, but in PoE2 the different locations feel lackluster and the story has weird details overly elaborate while lacking in coherence elsewhere.
hey bros, just finished act 3 and just got re-stranded into the first act. is it worth to wait for the full game release to play the first story? My build just got good (struggled a lot on act 2 final boss and steamrolled act 3) and im not sure what to do now
>>507173539I don't have anything against Warcries. I'm just not sure of their use outside of Corrupting Cry, which sounds cool, but I can't see it scaling insanely well since it builds on STR. But I could be wrong, I'm relatively new afterall. Oh and Earthquake exploding, but that sounds kind of tedious. In PoE1 I played an auto shout build with shattering quakes which was crazy fun, but I don't like the extra button combo stuff.
for me, it's the witch
>see ritual>remember how shit they are in poe2 with their tiny tiny areas, ground explosions everywhere, and shitty rewards consisting mostly of aug/transmut orbs and random rares, all this resulting in a risk/reward so high it would dwarf the sun>go on my merry way with a smile on my face and the ritual unclicked

>NO! We can't have life nodes! This is not part of the vision we have for the game, it's supposed to be hard!>everyone on the other side of the passive tree is functionally sporting anywhere between 6k and 15k extra life in a second barWhy the fuck does it feel like the "vision" applies exclusively to warrior in this game?
>>507174393Sounds like the diablo 1 butcher experience
>>507174491Warrior gets plenty of life. It's ranger that gets fucked right now. Evasion is objectively the worst.
>>507152154Someone recommend me a zoomy build, I'm literally falling asleep with what we have right now.
>>507173936Then there's a good chance you don't want warbringer because what could you get out of it?>Anvil's Weight and Imploding Impacts seem good (if I'm not mistaken there's a cap of -100%)>Jade Heritage looks hit or miss>>Answered Call and Wooden Wall are totems>Renly's Training is kinda weak (40% isn't hard to get apparently), Turtle Charm looks good but blocked by a weak node>>Warcaller's Bellow and Greatwolf's Howl are warcriesSo you have a choice of 5 nodes and only 2 of those look strong and the other 3 are mediocre.
>>507172901>accidentally namelock an enemy>lose all control of the skill's directionI typically have to "pre-slam" once to make sure I'm not namelocked, otherwise you can't control skills like vaulting impact and the slam's center often ends up inside an obstacle dealing 0 damage to anything
How the fuck vendor stock refresh works? Do they only update when you level up?
>>507174614bonestorm bloodmage
>>507174591>Warrior gets plenty of lifeBullshit. The only class that can get plenty of life is gemling.
>>507174648Yes.And check previous acts too.
>>507171959Crossbow skills start using up mana later on compared to the pool of mana you get as a bottom of the tree crossbow build. The main way of scaling them is attack speed. Grenades take a lot of mana from the start.Crossbow in other parts of the tree works as a leveling tool but you really need to get those reload speed nodes if you wanna endgame with it.
>>507174669way to out yourself as a shitter anon
>enter cruel>still have quest items from the vaal gateway in inventory>no quest>cant travel backwhat
I'm so fucking tired of fast mobs that sprint, LEAP AND SLAM. IT'S NOT A FUCKING SONG. I'M NOT JAMMING. IT'S PATH OF EXILE TWO.Also, fuck those burrowing worms.AND FUCK THOSE NIGGER SHADES THAT PLAY HIDE AND SEEK SECOND YOU LOOK AT THEM
>>507174821they're probably just those idols you can sell to oswald
>>507174615If you could cap your block, Turtle's Charm is probably the most defensive Ascendancy in the game. HOWEVER, the cost is two whole Ascendancies used on pure defense. Anvils Weight and Imploding Impacts are powerful, but not powerful enough to make up for that in my opinion. At the very least, from my experience they weren't but I didn't take my Warbringer that far and I didn't touch on Warcries. So I could be wrong.
Do bosses have a +level of items when killed? Same question for chests when openedI ran 5 t18 maps and I got 0 lvl20 skill gem. So I was wondering if I could get one lvl20 gem from a boss in a t16 or 17 map
>>507163383People who don't price their items deserve to be lowballed. I never offer what an item is worth if there isn't a price.

I wanted to complete PoE1 in preparation for 2, clear all of the atlas and fight every pinnacle boss, on HCSSF no lessI died to an on-death effect that I couldn't see trying to farm tabula in blood aqueductsWhy is GGG obsessed with on-death effects? Why can't they just remove them completely?Well over 90% of all deaths I've ever experienced in PoE1 has been from corpse explosions and enemies leaving either a pool of blood that insta drops you or they leave a ball of fire, poison or blood that follows you and pops youI'm so fucking sick of this shit, playing 2 was a breath of fresh air, but even there you have on-death effects, some with incredibly poor visibility. I am starting to regret ever investing on these guys' games.

>>5071752265 is almost as powerful as Gemlings double stat passive. That alone makes Titan worth it imo.Crushing Blows is top tier for helping with clear on things like Armor Explosion.But 2 and 3 make clearing even more insane.Unless your totems or warcry memes. I'd argue Titan is leagues better. Since you can still cap block on Titan.

>>507174491I really want to ask them about this also? I wasn't aware ES on tree was real until I looked in that area of the tree. Why is ES on tree a thing but life on tree is near extinct?

>>507175770>>507175798>>507176296And a third one same map. These are so dogshit lol..
>lost another map to a random one shotGenuinely dogshit endgame. I love how normal mobs are bigger threats than bosses or rare monsters.
>>507176260If I were to guess it's because ES is an armour type (like Evasion/Armour). They're probably under the impression it's very similar to stacking the other two.
>>507176361Oh right I was thinking too much about the gemling one, I was thinking they were similar.Yeah the titan one's great on nearly anything.
>>507176434>level 66>+16 mana>6% inc cast speedIf they're going to allow them to scale their gem level (scaling their required level) then you should be able to reset the gem level because +16 mana and 6% cast speed at level 66 is just silly.
>>507171868>tfw melee was supposed to be fixed in poe2https://www.twitch.tv/jungroan/clip/PlausibleFamousLadiesImGlitch-qBRmNtxsnZMW4J6W

In other words: they're projecting their mindset to tradies. When they say >heh, you just buy everything on trade league it's just what they would do if they played trade.
