holten is an area in interludes, the league circle spawns VERY close to the waypoint there
you can reset the area and get crystals much much faster than maps

also its still exists, you can do it yourself but you cant sell it anymore to retards

Tried crossbows for the first time this league.
Flash grenades, armor breaking, generating heat then throwing the explosive grenades and detonating them to do less damage than a single essence drain? lmao

Galvanic shards for mapping seems cool though.

Why didn't you tell me crossbow grenade levelling was so comfy

I don't get Vaal crystals. I need 6 to run the temple and my max is 18. Do I only get 6 rooms before I open the temple? Will I be able to run the same temple 3 times on max crystals, or do rooms get squashed after each run?
>>

grenades is op

>>551878328
Rooms get squashed after each run but you get to place more, you can't run an identical temple over and over even with stacked attempts

>>551878328
kill the architect to farm crystal and medallion capacity, crystals cap at 60, medallions cap at 6.
architect/atziri destabilizes a lot of rooms, for normal temple every time you close it it will destabilize ~4 rooms.
>>
>>551878483
>>551878717
So say I got 12 crystals, the rooms get destabilised after the first run but I automatically get a new deck of rooms for the second run?
>>
>>551878826
yup, and you can occasionally find medallions that let you place an extra room.
>>
>>551878826
Yeah, it is exactly the same as doing a run with 6 crystals, going and doing 6 maps and then coming back and doing another run, except you don't have to do the maps in between

i wish there was actual real crafting in this game's campaign
i know you can do it somewhat deterministic in the end game but im in act 4 and i got like 2 abyss bones and maybe 10 essences of which half are useful to me

exalts are too rare for how often they brick your items i honestly cant remember one use of an exalted orb i was happy about
checking the shops after every level is the only thing that feels like not a waste of resources
>>
Im level 63
Ive been farming holten for the past 5h

What now
>>
>>551884631
the campaign is undertuned enough that all the "crafting" you need is adding sockets and runes into a weapon and exalts on any random pieces that already have 1-2 good mods.

>Mathil going full shill mode
You know the game is fucked then. Mathil only does this when he is worried about his income. He openly says that he needs PoE to have good community sentiment so he has viewership. Right now his viewership, and the viewership of all PoE creators, is tanking because GGG has released 2 terrible leagues in a row.
>>
>>551886235
Honestly I'd settle for a rerun of one of the good leagues, they're clearly not capable of producing anything even resembling a proper league at the moment
>>

>>551883414
Mathil is just retarded and treats PoE2 like PoE1.
>Uhm bro if people are printing hundreds of divines YOU can become rich by farming Ritual!!!
>What do you mean every single ritual related farming item is now much more expensive due to natural economy inflation?
>What do you mean that regular maps don't drop anywhere near the same amount of RAW CURRENCY that temples do?
>What do you mean that farming ritual for days resulted in 2 decent omens meanwhile temple farmers made another 1000+ divs?
Literally nothing he says makes sense in PoE2. It only makes sense if you're thinking about PoE1. In PoE1 the economy can absorb stuff like this if it is fixed. We saw a MB dupe/farming issue with the tree in PoE1 and after a few days everything was fine.
>>
>>551885309
It really is weird how poe'ers never fail to be as melodramatic as possible about every change. Going all the way back to when eternal orbs were removed. Reading comments after the Vaal Pact nerf would have you assume GGG killed everyone's dog irl
>>
>>551885309
Nah, no one needs to tell me how to feel. NiGGGers have no idea how to balance and ruined 0.4 with a bad economy. Hopefully 0.5 will fix it and we just wait until then.
The real issue is faggots on twitter/reddit/grindr acting like we've never had a fucked economy. When it happens you just abuse or quit, it is not a big deal. It has happened in PoE1 like 5-6 times at this point.

This game has no farms. It has nothing interesting to change your maps. It has nothing. You alch + double slam and put in 3 abyss tablets. End of discussion.
Or, really, you just build a temple because it provides 100000x the returns of everything else and if you sincerely believe anything in this game compares to dropping 10-15 divines doing your temple, then you're just being silly. There is a reason everything is hyper inflated. There are no sinks. Nothing can compete with the temple printer.

Use the temple or quit, why is this so hard for you fags to understand? It is like 2 weeks into the league, it is okay to quit.

Mathil is always about just doing your own thing and not worrying about what other people do. Because that's what he does.
>>
>>551887935
No, he is just an out and out shill. He literally released a video years ago, I think it might have been during the expedition nerfs, where he basically said that he tries to be the optimistic/positive voice because if the community sentiment is too bad people stop watching him.
Keepers and now Druids are both horrible leagues that have had horrible retention and horrible viewership. I am pretty sure every PoE streamer is legitimately feeling fear about their future at the moment. It has been like 6 months of bad income for them.

>>551888009
Mathil is just parroting PoE1 talking points where there is a functional, multi-layered economy with various sinks of various league mechanic currency, some of which come from power-independent mechanics that can farmed by low level/skill/knowledge players. He is right about PoE1 and it is hard for anything to break the economy like this.
What does PoE2 even have? Why do we trade in Divines? They don't even do anything.

>>
>>551888278
What? The viewership and retention for Keepers and Druids was both measurably worse than any other modern league, as far as I can tell. Maybe Necropolis was worse.
I think Streamers care if they just did PoE1 and it flopped and now they're doing PoE2 and it was flopping and then a massive economy fuck up got everyone mad.

The raw Steam number for people playing poe2 yesterday was about as high or higher than any poe1 league launch before Crucible. Streamers existed long before that when league launches were smaller. They will continue to exist.

>>
>>551888651
Retard post by a retarded retard and I can't believe I am even responding to you.
I don't think GGG is about to EOS the game. You're making up a hyperbolized strawman. I can only assume this is because Rajesh shat in your area today and you're really upset. Okay, get this: Even if PoE won't die, we have seen that when GGG fucks up enough it does hurt streamer's income. All of them literally made videos about how a year+ of settlers with no word from GGG was forcing them all to make difficult decisions regarding their futures streaming.

I think if every streamer quit tomorrow it wouldn't impact PoE that much. My point is that the reason MATHIL and other STREAMERS are coping and hoping and lying about the economy is because they don't want everyone to quit and stop watching 2 weeks into the league. This is damage control by them.

It is amazing how there's never been a more low effort currency printing mechanic in POE1, given its reputation for being out of control power. Just set the temple up once and off you go. No chance of ever making a mistake. No thinking. No continued maintenance in terms of buying juice. No downtime. It's the lowest barrier to entry to a slot machine endlessly sucking your dick.
This finally happened https://clips.twitch.tv/SeductiveBrainyJellyfishRuleFive-PkYm-HRobAhdgSjS

>>551888908
yeah and I said that I don't like mathil because he thinks he's above it all and that dogshit leagues don't matter, player dissatisfaction doesn't matter because when 0.2 was live poe2 was down to mostly negative and now it's back to mostly positive or higher.
my point is nothing happens, not to the game, not to the streamers and not to ggg.
if you count some streamers making videos crying about lack of content as something happened then you're fucking retarded because they're still here, they're still streaming poe.

Mathil will happily let Jonatroon and Chris write SLUT on his forehead with their poop because it means accepting whatever GGG shoves down his throat.

Also Mathil is the equivalent of doing campaign runs, he bitches out at T16 maps and burns all his portals on a pinnacle boss and claims if he played better it would've died so it counts.

It is two buttons, so you have a little delay for damage which can be dangerous in some situations, but damage is very chunky with wide AoE and crafting shields is very easy. Armor gets comfortably tanky (not as much as super big ES but viable)

The thing that these retarded streamers and redditards don't get is that not only is temple just the best farm, but once set up it is entirely reliable and gives consistent, very high profit.
Everything else is just RNG and less profitable. You're not guaranteed to find omens. You're not guaranteed to get the right catalysts. You're not guaranteed an Olroth's Resolve. Meanwhile Temples are locked. They give similar currency and the same double corrupts every time.

In PoE? Yeah, no way. Mathil got in early and kept it consistent and even has a presence on youtube.
In streaming in general? Hmm, probably a better shot than you think but still unlikely. That is to say, the odds of making $300k doing anything are basically 0 for anyone here, but maybe you can randomly catch some autistic fanbase and grow if you stream.

Thank god mathil is the one sane person. People look so stupid freaking about this shit. It happens every fucking league. People were saying this about the tree in keepers. Why are people so obsessed with what other people have. It's a weird logic that poe is zero-sum. I think dad gamers make like 5 natty divines a league, then see someone getting 10d on a single screen and freak out that they're wasting their time or something.

You NEED a source of explosion for PBoD builds, be it a mirror wand, an explodey chest or the foulborn bereks, so center your build around that.

I personally went for a CI version and there's another anon who has a life based version. If you already got the svallin, you will probably want to do the life version.

Also the tattoos are not required at all, I had none for the longest time and fitting them into my build was an expensive headache that while nice, were not necessary.

Why are people so stupid? Really, why does everybody cry about the economy being ruined? Do people lack even the most basic understanding of economics?

Yes, people print divs in the temple but you aren't left behind if you don't. Rarity omens are dirt cheap right now (5c) and you can get abyss tablets that ran for 1div+ a few days ago for like 20-30ex and all the abyss currency is mooning. I made ~80div in just over 2 hours farming abyss, which is insane. I swear, people just chose to be miserable.

Commodity markets in the real world also obey the laws of supply and demand
The div:ex ratio for this time in the league really isn't different than it was in 0.3. Exalts are, as they were designed to be, not valuable things to hold on to any more than augments are. Nobody farms exclusively raw exalts, so holding up that ratio as the standard bearer for the health of the economy is retarded.

You didn't. Close combat quickly tapers off unless you were rubbing faces with enemies. Melee Phys actually nerfs your attack speed and brutality locks you out of elemental possibilities. It's genuinely just your fault if you think you're locked into those supports.

people claiming builds are limited aren't making builds, they're annoyed that build creators aren't making builds FOR them for every class and archetype.

I think people use builder spender terms too loosely. That setup implies that one skill is significantly weaker than the other. Basically people think the "spender" skill has to be a weak noodle skill you use to get to the big skill. Not the case. I mean it could be if you set it up that way. I use rolling slam to build rage and break armor. Then I use sunder when its needed. Sunder has decent range too so you can hit ranged enemies more easily. Not sure why people get upset about having the option of pressing a second button.

no one who says poe2 is "builder spender" has actually tried to design a build. if they did they'd know that the functionality where you press more buttons if you want to deal more damage is already in the game, i.e. you can press less buttons if you get better gear and pressing more is either an ssf adaptation or purely optional.

exalts are absolutely designed to be more valuable than augments are, and more to the point -supposed- to have more value than just legal tender and have a built-in mechanism for preventing (hyper)inflation. that was niGGGers whole design philosophy behind orbs and omitting gold from the game for over a decade. how their design actually manifests is a different story...

This is actually a good take and makes sense. I play SSF and press multiple buttons. I enjoy that gameplay but I am sure if my build got very strong, I could set it up to press one button. That isn't my desire though. The reality is that both types of builds exist pretty easily. I have seen one button spark builds. One button lightning arrow builds etc. I have also seen multi button lightning arrow builds etc. Both types can exist in this world. Its just a matter of how strong your character is or is not I guess.

Has anyone tried that persistent ground 3 support gem? it says the ground effect makes enemies cooldowns take longer to use again but how useful is that?

>that was niGGGers whole design philosophy behind orbs and omitting gold from the game for over a decade.
There are plenty of currencies that still have value, just not base exalts. And that's what makes the system good compared to gold. If one is hyperinflating, just move to a different one. Regular exalts being common enough to be worth using during the campaign was a stated goal of the design in PoE2.

You put Khatals Rejuvenation into your Life Remnants. This provides you with a +40% increased cooldown recovery. Together with Cooldown Recovery 2 and Temporal Mastery that lets you push down your Lightning Bolt CD to 0.26 seconds, which translates to it triggered every 0.05 seconds which in turn does a fucking of damage.

there are regular enemies with very annoying abilities on longer cooldowns but you often won't notice because most enemies explode too quickly, it assume its more relevant vs bosses?

unfortunately the way that manifested is it's still better to trade the exalts you find instead of using them. even in a best case scenario in which you get a rare drop that has 4 good mods and you can potentially use 2 exalts to slam 2 more good mods is a worse gamble than just buying a rare with 6 good mods for 2 exalts.

Watch a guide/check wiki so it'd explain to you what's available as the basics require you to learn about attribute types and item levels as that dictates what an item can have.

what does that have to do with anything?

nta, but you actually have shitloads of choice and what supports you use depends highly on what you spec into the on the passive tree, exactly how you're using what skills, and even what damage type mods your weapon does.

Not happening. You basically need a "route" first, let's say essence crafting where you take a fractured item (one mod is locked) and spam essences on it until you get another T1 mod and decide how you want to go from there. Foulborn Exalts makes slamming a bit more palatable but still not ideal.

Not quite, how that works is that an essence will always give the listed mod + rerolls everything else. So if you use it on a T1 fractured item, it gives you a T1 or better mod (top tier Zeal gives more AS than a T1 speed mod) and you can then start fishing for another T1 mod and you'll end up with a triple T1 modded weapon. If you're lucky, there's an open affix for you to put stuff on. If you're ballsy and there are enough open stuff, you can benchcraft locks on it and then use a veiled exalt but that's "advanced".

Best way to learn crafting is to understand mod pools (poe2db.tw) to know what stats are possible on each base, which are prefixes/suffixes, and which ones are more rare/valuable.
Once you have that, you can be able to value items with fewer than 6 mods based on the probability distribution of the remaining random slams.
Then for the other currencies, you just learn them one at a time to know when they're worth using and how much they improve your odds vs. random slams.

Complexity ladder:
Base currencies -> greater currencies -> greater essences -> no-omen defiles -> omen defiles -> perfect essences -> fracturing -> other omens -> recombination

>complete the campaign once

Further campaign runs have the following (seasonal or not):

>maps unfogged
>all way points unlocked

You still have to do the campaign but it's significantly faster and should make it less of a slog. This still gives you a way to level without having to grind some event for 60+ levels and it still allows everyone to "feel the weight".

in poe1. in poe2 crits don't automatically apply an ailment.
plus you're thinking of a 1 button build. if you are using (say) stormcaller arrow to apply shock then a different skill to deal damage (like in that popular xbow build) you're not going to need to prioritize crit on SCA.

what does this mean. a skill that is used in five different ways is not going to be used in "parity", nor is that the outcome of the game having genuine build variety.

if you use pob and look at which version does the most dps its always going to give you one highest answer, which is why builders whine about lack of diversity. but pob not being the game has been a fact in poe1 for years too.

So what I've gathered is, during this early access period where GGG is not patching up holes in the game and leagues are going to be entirely determined by turbo autists... I should just play softcore trade but treat it more like SSF + Currency exchange. That way I can get the occasional divine drop, cash out for exalts, and buy the currency I am trying to use for crafting up my own gear. Sell everything to the vendors unless it's somehow a really good floor drop... And go about my merry way? Is this the answer?

anon.... getting a crit in poe2 often doesn't do anything relevant in poe2 just because you do more damage. if you do 200% damage with SCA your shock is still going to be the same. that's important because it lets you set up your shock skill to do the most shocks the most reliably (not always by skilling into crit) and another skill for damage (possibly using crit for max pob dps).

a similar case would be if you skill perfect strike around crit: your crit damage won't help you ignite as much as stacking flammability on the enemy with a different skill first.

I notice you keep going back to general principles instead of trying to address the examples I'm giving. I suspect its because you think you know more about the game than you actually do.

yeah so we're talking about different answers depending on how you set up your build: which skills you're going to be using, how and how often. i.e. not what you mean by parity.

>>
>>551910548
Are you retarded? I just explained it. Ailments in Poe2 take the hit damage of the skill into account including the crit damage bonus. Poe1 does not do this. Both games you need to scale ailment chance so this is a nonsequitur. And yes, a larger hit from a supplementary skill meant to apply a shock will apply A LARGER SHOCK if it crits. Are you daft?

>perfect strike
Yes crits would help perfect strike ignite because the magnitude of flammability is determined by the percentage of monster health taken as damage. A larger hit will increase flammability to a larger degree. Crits help with this.

What are you not getting? Like how can i fucking help you bro, you seem retarded

I'm the one explaining the game to you anon.
>Both games you need to scale ailment chance so this is a nonsequitur.
in poe1 crit chance = ailment chance because crits apply ailments.
so in poe2 you have a reason to use 1 skill to apply ailments (hence no advantage dealing crits) and another to apply damage.
a skill like SCA can apply shock and you could do a 1 button build with it or

>Yes crits would help perfect strike ignite because the magnitude of flammability is determined by the percentage of monster health taken as damage. A larger hit will increase flammability to a larger degree. Crits help with this.
you don't understand how flammabilty works now lol
the chance of igniting with a single hit caps out at 20% if you deal half the ailment threshold of the monster. why would I use a skill as clunky as perfect strike if I only have a 20% chance to ignite? crit is much less good at igniting than, uh, flammability. so you could skill crit or your can skill flammability or you can skill flat damage or something else (rage is really good now).

plus once you've ignited the monster with a big hit, ignites can easily be made to last a really long time so there's no reason to just keep perfect striking the monster while it burns. better to switch to a different DPS skill. what skill? your choice.

that's the sound of me winning the "there are multiple ways to build a single skill" debate btw.

Just fought king in mists with 50 petition shards for the first time ever. The fight was interesting but I had no idea what the fuck was going on. It just seemed like tornadoes, frogs, and purple on purple balls flying at me. I died once in the maze which I still don't understand. Why are the little blue wisps baiting me to go down the wrong way? I kind of hate GGG for how they design boss fights because they include a mechanic that has to be done or you die but don't make it clear how the mechanic is done. On the second time, I saw the portal out from one alley over and was able to escape the maze but the wisps did jack shit and I felt like I only found the way out because I got lucky. Did I miss some critical detail? I wanted to figure it out on my own but I have no idea how it even was supposed to work. I would hit a wisp, follow it, it would lead me down the wrong corridor and disappear.

I guess that makes some sense. I'm really new so the question was legit. I figured you definitely needed tons of omens to make it work. So based on my own experience so far, you just learn what good mods you can get off of the trans and aug orbs, then use an essence to get it rare, then greater/perfects to gamba on a good 4th stat? Or you could use abyss crafting I guess and try to get a good mod that way.

>>551913198
>how ailment builds are structured and function in poe1
yeah the discussion wasn't about that lol
its about how you can take a single poe2 skill and change its function by adding different support gems.

you're basically making my argument for me by demonstrating that poe1 is entirely about dps, btw.

like, what if I want to do an elemental overload build in poe1 but don't want to build crit? that option just means less damage and is pointless.

Basically what this anon said. It very clearly states that the magnitude of the ignite is dependent upon the damage of the hit. So crits = more damage = bigger ignite. And IIRC, ailments work much the same way: The more damage of that type you do, the bigger the magnitude of the chill/shock/bleed/poison. I'd have to go re-read the in game tooltips to be sure but I'm fairly certain that's how it works.

>>551914085
the confusion is because I'm talking from practical experience and you're just theorycrafting dps values.

the ailment threshold of a monster is half its life.
1) if you skill into pure crit and deal half a monster's life in 1 hit you only get a 20% chance to ignite (its not reliable enough).
2) if you deal 100% of a monster's life you get 40% chance but the monster is dead so ailments aren't relevant anyway: you are outgearing the content. (this is why retards say there is only one way to build a skill).

but you could just as easily outgear the content with flat damage or by using a skill to get ignite to 100% first then igniting with less gear. because poe2 has options and isn't just a dps game.

you can deal damage in excess of a monsters ailment threshold retard. You can scale the magnitude of the flammability inflicted WHILE scaling crit, which is probably optimal in most cases. You literally have no idea what you are talking about

I meant that if you deal the monster ailment threshold the chance to ignite from raw fire damage is 20%. hence the sentence continuing

I think the biggest issue poe2 has is that ggg stopped leaking all the patch data a week before launch, and pob2 is also delayed and still very out of date in terms of what interactions have code yet.

the meta ends up being what streamers feel safe to play and can get to 1/2-button screen clear ASAP, often with rmt'd gear, so its actually behind what is possible in the game.

I'm not implying that in the slightest and the audience for poe2 is 90% poe1 players. the rest were people following streamers that were paid to play (like hololive and former vshojo whores) who left after their streamer did their sponsored obligations and new people genuinely interested but left after the first patch or two when they realized poe is genuinely an ass franchise.

I don't get how, every league it's the same shit. Play an attack build get a bunch of flat and a half decent weapon and you're doing 5mil dps, do the same with spells but it's gem levels.
Without even getting into builds that actually have moving parts, the baseline for a basic character is going to obliterate everything in the game.

you dont know how the temple works, stop getting your knowledge from twitch streams.
the intended gameplay is this
>use rooms like spymaster, commander, flesh lab and golem to get lock, upgrade and room medallions respectively
>save up your medallions for the right moment
>when you see a few of the poggers reward rooms that destabilize after collecting the reward, you place them down (using room medallions to assist), upgrade them with your upgrade medallion and finally use the destabilization prevention medallion so you can run them multiple times. thats the big poggers vision. and when you activate your "juice" (medallions), you also get a decent quant bonus on the temple. you run the temple, collect your vaal cultivator etc, protect it from its scripted destruction with the medallion and run it again. when you close the temple the second time you will probably have lost most of it. then you go through the same thing again.
thats why theres a medallion cap of 6, its to limit how big that juiced run is
after the big boy run you are supposed to run the architect and his rooms while you stock up medallions for the next one

NTA, but Im trying to understand here. Tooltip says that Flammability is based on the pre-mitigation fire damage dealt to the target vs the targets ailment threshold.

Then, it grants 1% Flammability PER 5% of the enemy's ailment threshold. Ailment threshold as you said is usually half a monsters health, but not always like in the case of bosses. In a raw numbers world with no modifications, dealing a single hit that halved a monsters health would result in yes, a 20% chance to ignite with the hit. But I feel like that's discounting other factors. What if the monster is resistant to fire damage? The hit may overcome their threshold and ignite without the hit itself doing 50% damage. What if there's other things at play like passive nodes that grant exposure or increased ailment threshold?

Again I'm trying to understand but it doesn't feel as cut and dry as you're making it.

I don't play builds made by others. There's nothing OP about Rakiata's. It's a strong midgame support for ele builds and that's it.
It's not the path to doing the most damage possible in POE2.
It doesn't mechanically change how you move or how quickly you clear, it's just a DPS support in a game where no builds struggle with DPS.

>discounting other factors
that happened for both sides, partly because its hard to include every factor, partly because some autist decided he wanted to talk about poe1 when I was just giving an example of different ways you might set up skills and supports try to get a reliable ignite.

>if the monster is resistant to fire damage?

Fire Penetration II sets a monsters fire resistence to 0%. its a really great example of how situational the support system in poe2 actually is. you are incentivized to gemswap to kill fire resistent bosses in ssf, or you can just have the support in all the time, or you can do something else.

>What if there's other things at play like passive nodes that grant exposure or increased ailment threshold?

there often will be, which is why saying "there is only one way to set up each skill" is retarded. the bonus to flammability for fitting Ignite II support is really high, but you don't need to build flammability with the same skill you actually deliver the big ignite, because it stacks independently on a target.

>>
>>551918797
Huh.

So you could overcome the ailment threshold by quite a lot dependent on the monster's conditions. Since we're kinda talking about a situation where you want the hit to be the ignite, to make it reliable it would need to overcome the ailment threshold roughly 5 times over. I think that's doable with some automation, gems, and passive nodes. Your point still stands about not needing to build this way though, as it'd be much easier to just have your clear skill do fuck tons of Flammability buildup and then just bonk the high HP target once the buildup reaches 100%

as you only started playing its complicated but there is the option to use 1h mace and shield for some skills and 2h mace for others. generally bosses can be 2h'd safely but a shield makes it less painful to run to the next waypoint through regular monsters (also known as poe2's real final boss)

the big board is supposed to be a detriment.
>atziri is directly across the start

notice how roads cant turn? and did you know that tiles in the center are more likely to get destabilized? its so those rooms are harder to access.

another fun fact: it used to be impossible for rooms to connect to the architect. they didnt even consider snaking rooms like that, the intended gameplay is using roads for everything.
>The Architect's room is now able to connect to any other adjacent room.

lock medallions are supposed to be a one time destabilization prevention which lets you run a juicy reward room another time, not protect a chain of 50 rooms.

>>551920969
>to make it reliable it would need to overcome the ailment threshold roughly 5 times over.
you don't need to do it in a single hit because flammability stacks and each stack lasts 8 seconds. I'll just describe my build:

tree 1: 2h fire damage, empowered/ancestral damage and warcries, I use warcry then volcanic fissure.
tree 2: 1h, totems and armour break, I drop 3 totems in 0.6 seconds which end up slamming the fissure every 0.2 seconds (because totem placement time is 0.2) repeating the 2h mace damage. it supposedly snapshots the flammability bonuses from the first tree.
vs bosses I then perfect strike them once they reach 100% flammability. then when the boss is on fire I just smack it repeatedly with Forge Hammer to keep my Rage maxed.

vol fissure has Ignite III, perfect strike has Searing Flame II and Eternal Flame II. working well enough that my main problem is defenses. also its a Merc build so I have 100 weapon set points.

Supercharged slam looked cool as fuck but I could never get the timing on perfect strike to feel right so I figured a bigger version would be bad for me.

>>551920196
Fair enough. It definitely feels harder but I assumed the spike was because every shitty vaal NPC was throwing random flavors of magic attacks at me and my res is nonexistent.

>>551920745
That's funny, I figured someone might recommend that I buy a unique but I assumed it would be some busted leveling armor, not a weapon. I'll shop around I guess, I've gotten 20 exalts just from playing so far so I might as well spend them.

dont bother trying to farm shit that drops in the temple. a single temple room drops more raw currency than a juiced map and you clear that room in like 10 seconds. just killing monsters in a map is a waste of a time this league but you will make a lot of money farming mechanic exclusive items

>abyss heart of the well farm
>breach catalysts, rings and splinters maybe
>ritual probably not as much its kinda shit unless someone uses 1000 whittling omens for a mirror craft

sanctum is also insane profit cause temporalis is the new streamer build. you dont have to find the temporalis relic yourself, you can also sell magic relics for a lot to aspiring sanctum farmers.

I don't understand what is so good about Bloodmage...
>>
>>551905552
Yes, it is entirely this. He literally said in PoE1 "Yeah, I have to be positive because this is my job and if people stop watching or hate the game I am fucked" so listening to him straight up lie to people about the economy is terrible.
No farm has kept up with temples. You cannot find a corner. You cannot find a niche. Materials will never be as good as Raw Divines.

That is like saying my job is better than yours because they pay me in gold bullion that I have to sell to dollars to pay my electric bill, and this other guy's job pays him more money directly in $100 bills just left everywhere he can pick up. The Temple prints too many raw divines and perfect exalts. Doing ritual and getting an omen worth 2-3 div can take like 5-10 maps, meanwhile if you set up your temple 6 maps = 10-15 divines.

poe2 is more gear-dependent than poe1 and that annoys people who want to just get to the endgame and get a specific amount of currency per hour. but it has the effect of making the campaign teach the item system which is probably worth it.

there are definitely bosses which are less dangerous with high specific resistances (especially lightning and fire) so its worth hording resist gear, you're not doing something wrong caring about it.

Well, I think the problem is that Mathil and the PoE2 community are both right.

>High tier upgrades and rare uniques are now prohibitively expensive
>Rest of the economy has not caught up, saying so is an objective lie
>However, great "starter" gear that can clear almost all content is cheap as fuck
>A few raw div drops converted into exalt will fill all of your gear slots with stuff that is good enough to kill arbiter because PoE2 has no end game content
So yeah, I mean, anyone saying the economy is ruined IS right but I think those people need to actually examine what they want to buy to actually do in the game because that realization made me stop for now. I beat everything already.

>>551923218
Sanguimancy + Blood Magic makes spells cost double life, which you convert into bongo damage with some lineage gem that scales spell damage from life costs.
Spell damage leeched as life + life remnants really help sustain the crazy spell costs.
The 15% crit base is a massive effective multiplier for some spells, it helps enable CoC builds.

>some other rooms also destroy rooms, the spymaster kills 2 other spymasters to level up to 3 and the sacrifice room destroys 2 arbitrary rooms to level up to 3
>killing the architect or atziri destroys most of your board
if you never do anything that would destabilize a room and place as many rooms as possible, you will very slowly grow the temple, but it will shrink back down if you do the mechanic as intended.

It needs a bit of investment to work (about 10-20d when I built CoC bm last league) but then gets very silly very fast. There's also a mandatory abyss jewel that makes you regen 100% of life you spend, so the bizarre life costs turn into a super powerful 5000 hp regen. Then some other life based uniques put you at like 4k life, crit chance and crit damage based on max life, and you still get thousands of ES, dont have to build any ES recharge because of the life regen works on ES keystone...
I know the game is always easy with medium cost builds but this really felt like god mode. I could trip in an abyss and just get up like nothing happened because of the 4k life regen.

i mean if you go in with the assumption that you can have 80 rooms of your choice in the temple at once, you realize that you can get for example 10 rooms with 60% monster effectiveness which is multiplied by 3x from 10 rooms that multiply them by 30%. thats 1800% increased quantity of items, ignoring everything else in the temple. it doesnt take a genius to realize thats not balanced. theres no way that was the intention

The game has no economy. That is the hilarious part.

Divines are only used as currency cause of PoE1. In PoE1 it was organically decided that chaos would be the main trade currency and that exalts would be the rare expensive currency. This was due to chaos being used for map stuff and exalts being used for meta crafting which back then was just as important.
You know how you know it is a real economy? When GGG changed meta mods to require divines the economy switched over to using those with minimal pain. That is because the value was based on tier + usability.

Divines in PoE2 are just "Well, we physically could not trade 20,000 exalts for items so I guess we'll just agree divines are good)

again NTA but (poe) streamers don't ruin my fun because I don't watch nor listen to their opinions, but even if I did they aren't the root of it. jonathan/niGGGer is the root of poe1/poe2 not being fun. even if they listen to streamers and their shitty takes it's still jonathan and niGGGer electing to listen to them in the first place.

I'm very new, never played POE1. I only played POE2 on campaign launch.

What exactly is the intention with leagues? I started a new character to play the league but for awhile I've just been redoing the campaign. Does each league just make you redo the campaign no changes...? Am I missing something?
>>
>>551925097
I never played trade but i imagine people are using some exalt on items, but divines? I'm sure no one in trade will ever use them for slamming.

every time I stop to pick up an exalt I lose more than I gain by picking it up. really makes you think
>>
>>551925808
You should be seeing the temple stuff in the campaign which changes it up, but yes you need to redo the campaign each league.

This is contentious in the playerbase because PoE2's campaign is harder/longer (that is what she said) than PoE1's. PoE1's campaign, which has to be repeated each league, can be done on a totally fresh account in like 6-8 hours for even a relatively new player.
I feel like PoE2's campaign is gonna be ~12 hours for most people, with the good players getting it down to 7-8 and then actual speed runners are at like 4ish, right?

Is there some way people are using previous runs to speed it up? I'm following a build guide this time but some of the random bosses are a bit tough. I'm not like 1 shotting bosses. Does it expect me to be using loot from previous runs from my stash? I might just suck though.
>>
>>551925635
that is what its like in the campaign if you hit a gear drought or use a suboptimal build or just get underlevelled. hard to make the game both playable for new players and also a challenge to autists using a streamer build who've done act 1 30 times this year.

endgame needs to be at least vaguely doable in ssf even if the game will never be balanced around that. but trade will always make things too easy if you get good items for your currency.

those are basically the constraints of any arpg and GGG can't do anything about them.

every campaign playthrough should be different because you get different items, will normally not use the same build, and the league mechanic in every map is different every league. plus all the layouts and content is random. resetting from 0 is the basis of ARPGs and why they're not the same as MMOs.

If you play more than one character you can use gear from them. A twink run is way faster as you constantly have the highest MS boots and some random rare weapon that does one shot everything.

>>551926091
Sure, but then I am also underestimating it for PoE2.
I am going by my own metrics where in PoE1 I am usually completing the campaign in ~8 hours (in one sitting comfortably) and in PoE2 I usually struggle to beat the interludes before I stop for the night on the first day.
>>
>>551926014
nigga please the 1 mod abyss jewel is free, both in terms of opportunity cost and price.
the covenant is actually extremely good in terms of opportunity cost because it lets you lifetap all your shit, which lets you use mana as a massive defensive layer with minimal investment in mana sustain or cost. all you need is 30 spirit for mana remnants and you get thousands of extra dark blue life which also scales archmage damage. the item itself is cheap for a bad version which lets you get started on the build but you do need to shell out 50-100d for one with spell leech and no extra cost so i will give you that
>>
>>551883315
What's confusing about it?
>>
>>551926282
The campaign gap with experience is smaller in 2 than it is in 1. A new player to poe1 isn't going to be frostblink/shield charging. There are fewer totally optional areas that a veteran would skip to save time. Gearing is much easier without support gem slots. 2 also has much fewer side mechanics like Bestiary/Delve going on to sidetrack someone from the campaign.
