>>568429135>There aren't as many esoteric bullshit in POE2 compared to 1.i meeeeeeean build enabling uniques + masteries and certain nodes exist
not seeing any reason not to start in hcssfafter dying the first time it will be a bit annoying losing the stash, but it's not that bad since my character isn't kicked from the league and I'll have a hc stash when making a new onecan't wait to play already...
can we kill all e-celeb worshipers?
Im gonna wing itProbably end up dying a LOT in like act2ishThe npivot to a meta build and think to myself >why didnt i just start with this
>>568429173I think you can piece that together if you read through shit and read the skills and uniques and such and experimented with builds. It's not hidden information. How you get 4 off-colors on a strength base using the crafting bench is hidden information. The fact that it's significantly harder to roll blue or green color sockets on a strength base is in itself hidden information.
>>568429339the cancer has metastasized and is in the bones of PoE
Imagine playing BABYcore
>>568429358but it is lol knowing which unique interacts with which skills in the background is something akin to studying mathematics anon

The general moves too fast now, yet nothing is ever said
I only played the first patch of poe2 but planning to play 0.5. Is Martial Artist a bait?
>>568429654Like your post?
>>568429620High 100 what? Blood pressure?
>>568429667Not bait until tomorrow's nerfs

>>568427705The chinese made the mistake of sharing one piece of tech and the west turned against them. They'll not make the same mistake again.
Just did my first brosf before friday, my 2nd league with a veteran buddy.I went sorc and he went invoker ice strike, we pracced till end of Act II to derust for Friday. Is everything scaled up with 2 players? Felt like everything was super tanky. I also thought spark would be comfier but it felt super weak without good supports. Thinking of swapping to Deadeye again because I dont wana run it down in later campaign, our goal is just to get pinnacles, we're casualMaybe I made a mistake following a Chrono build that made me take all ES shit till level 30, but it felt tanky at least. Helped out bossing
I remember hearing something about prevented damage from block now counting toward effects like Made to Last, but I can't find it in the patch notes and can't remember where I first heard it.Anyone have any idea? Did I hallucinate it?
>>568429863>Is everything scaled up with 2 players?Yes, things have more life.>Maybe I made a mistake following a Chrono build that made me take all ES shit till level 30You did, you should spend your first ~10 points or so on the damage nodes, it really adds up.Also supports and comboing spells (applying exposure with frostbomb, using infusions, giving projectiles firewall etc) is very important.
>>568429173I think he means you don't have infinite layers of retarded shit like>eldritch influence>conqueror/shaper/elder influence (unrelated to eldritch influence)>replica uniques>foulborn uniques>tainted currency>abyss jewels and sockets>metamods>beastcrafting>memory strands>fossils>tattoos>transfigured gems>exceptional gems (mostly removed thankfully)>clusters>>>>>>>>clustersAnd nearly everything above lacks any ingame documentation at all, even something as basic as Chaos bypassing ES is not explicitly said anywhere in the game. Not to mention probably 3/4 of skills in 1 being unusably bad even in acts, so a blind player is likely to end up struggling to kill Dominus with whatever total dogshit they thought sounded cool while 95% of the playerbase gets kf or pconc and autopilots to maps in 4 hours.
>>568429951I was in call and someone told me I fucked up not using exposure but I never really checked the tooltip for frostbomb. I thought it was just ice shit didnt know it nukes resists
>>568429667The spectral clone shit is bait but it has a lot of very solid nodes for pretty much any melee build and worst case you can pivot to Invoker which has literally never been bad
>>568429863I also played the campaign with a friend recently, and yes, it takes solidly 5-10 times longer to kill bosses vs playing solo. Hell, even some rares you would wail at fir a while. 2 player balance seems to be done around both players being broken.
There are 2 items on the trade siteOne has Razor-sharp rolled natty, the other Razor-sharp from an essence. What distinguishes those 2 items?Assuming they don't change the name of the essence mods
What's the point of the azmeri spirits?
>>568430262They're gonna add a "Crafted" tag to items similar to Split, Mirrored or Corrupted in Poe 1Once it's had a guaranteed crafted modifier its bricked for future crafted mods
poe1 sissies our response?
unlucky, guess I'll have to start monk
>>568429716temperature
>>568430476ruthless should have been forced, poe1 is way more fun in ruthless if people gave it a chance
>>568429339you'd have to kill most of the human race
>>568429349build creator means this is the last opportunity to "need" to figure stuff out yourself.
>>568429654>poe 1 and 2 are TOO POPULAR>why aren't they as good as a niche arty game like D4???new /poeg/ meta detected
>>568430476KEK MIRAGEKEKS YOUR KEKS?!
>>568429863the starting defense nodes only make sense at all in HC and even then you'll get more actual survivability in act 1 if you start damage and respec into them for act 2.
>>568430525ruthless literally brought me back to poe1 and therefore poe2 lol
>>568430770Yeah, this was a test run for exactly thisI will prob import a build? if they exist later on but in campaign I'll prob just yolo and go for spark damage next timeWe are going to prac A3 today sooooo yeah, alr respecced into dmg and will see the diffWe are ethically not using our standard league stuff also....
Who is the strongest minion cuck of poo 2?
>>568430865same for me, took a 3 year break from poe1 for being boring until ruthless called me back
>people are still sleeping on gemling alt qualities>people are still sleeping on gemling motes
>>568430559Like 90% of them would be brown thou
Just filled my diaper with a new poe 2 updateGet it while its hot
>>568430972the best thing in a 2 party is to coordinate what skills you get with the other player so you stack different debuffs and try to collect as many as possible. probably one player going phys and the other elemental for minimum overlap.
>>568431051>people are still sleeping on gemling motesyeah, the kind of sleep people don't wake up from
>>568431051Leaguestarting gemling is the most retarded thing you could possibly do

Has anybody tried the dragonkin game?
ATLAS MASTER LEAKS WHENI NEED TO KNOW IN ADVANCE HOW 2 SSF IN 0.5
>>568431129grim
>>568431112>>568431116Let's just say there's a reason they made it a granted skill instead of a passive effect>>568431130No online = no playNo market economy = no play
>>568431227The reason nobody is talking about it is because it's not something worth bothering wirh until you have a shitload of currency to dump into it
>>56843134620% quality requires shit ton of currency?
>>568431513nta but you have to weigh it against the other ascendencies. if it doesn't come online as early as another for the same class why not just respec into it when you have the gear.
>>568430379The force with which you shut down my wishful thinkingAlright first thing on Friday I log into standard and test it
Isnt LS + LA(or whatever bow skill is best) witchhunter perfect league starter? You have gigantic Shield that protects you from hard hits, tons of evasion to protect you from small mobs, and best damage in game (bows are OP) for fast clear (also Concetration ascendancy actually deals A LOT of damage to bosses).Honestly if you are new player this sounds like perfect ascendancy to check out the game.
>>568431051>>people are still sleeping on gemling alt qualitieswhich alt quality specifically are people sleeping on
I dont know why, but i find "Arcane surge" ability extremely comfy. Like it just feels thematically good>be mage>cast spells>suddenly mana overflows and you can feel it flow or something and you can improve your casting abilityIt just makes sense.
>>568431693just think of it as an upgrade pathfirst you make your IPD+greater abrasion itemthen you make your IPD+essence of haste and desecrated added phys item.then you make your rng 2 of (IPD / AS / added phys) fractured suffix Perfect Essence of Battle item.
>>568431051people are sleeping on them because we don't know what the fuck they are yet. we'll know when they're datamined, i'm sure there will be something fun with the alt qualities.
>>568431892I really like it too. I keep thinking about taking the nodes that boost the state but I never do, maybe this time. Problem is they're definitely an 80+ kind of thing.
>>568431821People said the same about the oracle passive nodes when all we'd seen is the 7% chance to avoid death from hits
>>568431752grenades are better for levelling than bows
Gemlinger motes are so opBest mote is red, but you cant go armor build with it, because it just adds "monsters take away 3% of your life" modifier to every white mob, so its worthless.Naturally you want to protect motes, so it means only evasion, in which case biggest EV build problem (dying to big unavoidable hit) doesnt dissapear anywhere.
>>568431752Bows actually dont have that much damage. They have insane clear speed once they reach the threshhold for sufficient damage but getting to that point isnt trivial. Thats why many go deadeye or amazon
>>568432039>Gemlinger motes are so opHoly shit that was dumb of meMeant >Gemlinger motes are so dogshit
marauders never gonna come is itwarrior is the melee str classwith gladdiator being str dex
NERF TWISTERS
>>568432039>>568432139it's an access node and balanced as such.
>>568431969I am well aware how good grenades are because i started as Grenadier WH 3 leagues in a row (0.1-0.3). Problem is that its a melee skill, you throw nades, roll into them to aggro pack in AoE and blow them up. So you really need to have good defense for Nades.
>>568432183pretty much guaranteed to be the same league they add Trial of the Ancestors imho
>>568432183What would be the difference between the Marauder and Warrior?
>add 50 morbillion runes, omens and sockets and currencies>all just so they don't have to add a fucking bench that does the exact same thing except more conciseWhy?
>>568432283If you didnt notice SuckMuh in Jonathan vision of how ToTa should be. HE WANTS YOU TO EVADE TRAPS, instead of just tanking them. So EVEN if tota will be added, prepare for some bullshit akin to Honor but for traps only or traps straight up instakilling you.
>>568432238I think if you test bow merc yourself you'll find out why it doesn't avoid that issue so go do that.also M&J claimed they want everyone to get more defenses while levelling and they are changing the game in unspecified ways allegedly to make that happen.
>>568432332>>568342249
>>568432332runes are SOVLbench is soullessfinding a rare rune can be the spark for creativity.opening a drop-down menu in a poe 1 bench is overwhelming.
>>568432310thats the thing i dont know what else to do with meleeflails shields is for templar 2h swords 1h swords is gladdaggers is for thief thingy
>>568432332>oh cool, I just need 5 Glorple Dust for that which I can get from target farming the Dens of Glorp for a few hours with a specific set-up>too bad I have no idea what those things are or how to do it
>>568432394>HE WANTS YOU TO EVADE TRAPS, instead of just tanking them.imagine struggling to evade traps lmao
>>568432394TotA is just an autobattler
>>568432452>He doesn't know about the Glorp Orb-speedfarm
Both rune and bench are pure soul and both must exist at same time to improve player experience.Just make bench mods roll really low tier (>t4) and make it random or something. To make sure players have no reason to use it after reaching late game.Also i really like rune words, so perhaps its great way to improve basic runes that are constantly getting outshined by new augments.Few dumb examples:>3 rune of body on same item give you +3% max hp >two same runes of Ele resist on same item also give you "X% physical damage is taken as that element"
>>568432640Deterministic crafting options devalue both loot and currency, If you can just spend them to get what you want instead of having to keep looking, then you won't keep looking. That's how you end up with the Filterblade mindset where the only thing that matters is 82+ bases and otherwise people just use the same deterministically crafted gear every single time they run up through the game. That's probably why they hit the Recomb too now that I think about it.
>>568432332bench is conceptually shit because it pricefixes all the orbs while divorcing them from their basic purposes (e.g. transmutes turning white into magic). instead you use 6x transmutes to buy a low-tier resist mod. it sucks. finding a rune, reading the description of what it does and being able to use it immediately means every line on the "crafting bench" is a dopamine hit, compared with a literal bench where its literally like looking at a spreadsheet. GGG will never ever put the bench back in the game.
>i want muh heckin item editorI wish harvest niggers sticked to poo1 and stopped trying to play PoE 2
PoE 2 is gay
>>568379643what are you on about retardthe furinafag posts both of them
>>568429628It has piss for boss damage befause Ice darts isn't a real spell and ggg refuses to look anywhere in the direction of elemental spells (they'd rather add the seventieth hecking wholesome minionerino node). Frost walls only get you so far. It gets ok to goodish once you have a full crit maligaro setup but the road there is definitely pain. I say this as someone who dearly loves cold chrono.
>>568432815>Cleaning up the current system while keeping functionality 1:1 the same is badPoE2 fags deserve what they're getting lmao.
>>568432452bro just look up the vendor recipe on poeautism.ru and you can convert 1 of each item slot into a single glorpal orb.
Why do we have fucking 5 days between leagues?
Made a comfy little spot for Rog and the gang in my hideout now they've been taken from meArt imitates life....
>>568432907to remind everyone of how aids levelling in standard is.
>>568429863Do you 'bros' also kiss and cuddle?
>>568432797You could just add bench-specific currency, maybe with some other effect on-use.It would just make it so there isn't 500 different runes, tier them by rarity and you're done.That way getting specific attribute or res runes in the campaign isn't borderline impossible.
>>568429863Why did you post a children showing her pits?
>>568432984I'm so weak compared to what I usually am. I'm still an hour under my last time though because I'm getting better.
>>568431116Bro you league start as witch hunter or tactican and swap over later. Doing this is the strongest start this league.
>>568432753the crafting bench literally gives value to currency, why do you think divines are the premier currency?
>>568433083functionally identical to lootfiltering the runes you aren't going to use
>>568429863I wish I had someone to play coop with..
>>568433167Let me rephrase, it devalues using currency raw, you're instead supposed to use it on the crafting bench. Divines are a good example though, they essentially have grandfathered value in PoE2's context of what they actually do.
>>568433189You misunderstood.Right now it's:>Find rune>Oh, it's fire res, but I really need cold res since im 20% overcapped on fire..With the change it would be:>Find rune>Oh I can turn this into cold res since I need it right now
ok post "RF" build
>>568433137I'm getting better too but slightly missing my times from before the leagues merged, so I can't use them to gauge what I can hope to get on leaguestart. stuff like not getting a lesser jeweller's in burial shrines makes it hard to assess how a build is going to scale.
>>568433323With how generous the Vaal league mechanic was it's probably worth scouring the zones a bit for it. It'll add a few hours to the run but you'll probably get some really good stuff out of it.
>>568433268the same as wanting smartloot
Last challenge is brutalFull power Kulemak isn't something that I can kill even if I play 2 months for 5 hours each dayAnd the key to Kulemak was already like 10dWould people sell it in chat?
>>568433421Game just let me respawn and keep whittling his health down in 0.4 so just do that.
>>568433397retard
>>568433380>With how generous the Vaal league mechanic was it's probably worth scouring the zones a bit for it. Yeah, except you know? Since the league ended there is no guaranteed vaal on every map now.
>>568433421for some reason Kulemak's hp doesn't remax when he kills you, at least he didn't in for me in ssf last league. never would have managed that bullshit fight in one life otherwise.
>>568433496I mean in the new league.
Yeah I think I'm gonna play classic wow HC for the 10th time over poop2.
reminder:having modifiers tied to separate itemised drops allows for easier fine-tuning and balancing of acquisitionhaving metamod socketables on items with variable socket counts makes for more interesting crafting environment, where exceptional bases with more sockets than usually allowed opens up new craft possibilties and methodsnew players get to slowly acquire knowledge of crafting possibilties as they keep encountering new runes instead of having a long list dumped onto themsocketables allow for interesting item affixes that interact with them or the socket countsocketables allow for non-destructive item modifications, increasing the flexbilty of player gear without impacting pre-existing item affixessocketables can have various themes, instead of being fungible benchcraft tokens (divine orbs), which makes them target farmable via specific mechanicssocketable themes might interact with each other (ie. modifiers that work if socketable of type A is inserted alongside a socketable of type B into an item or for mutual exclusion of socketable types in one item)socketables instead of fungible benchcraft tokens might interact with other game systems and mechanics (such as corruption, as seen in the case of soul cores and architect soul cores in the lira vaal temple)
>>568431051No one is sleeping on gemling we just dont know if any of the alt qualities are any good at all.Motes are most likely going to be a mediocre meme though I really struggle to see them being particularly any good at all.They might be ok on bosses but that's about it.
>>568433565I aint reading all that
>>568433565
>>568433565many are saying this
>>568433490>>568433268the real outcome of what you think you want is that the game just gets generically easier for players who already know everything about what the currency does when it drops, and new players just get knowledge-gated. it's always going to be a factor in arpgs but at least this way its minimized and restricted to later in the game.
so final outline for APs on 1.0 is going to be something like this?>do a tutorial run of sekhema, chaos and tota for 6 and then your cbt of choice for last 2>only do the cbt chore you want to and ignore ascends till actually doing maps
>>568433565>socketables can have various themes, instead of being fungible benchcraft tokens (divine orbs), which makes them target farmable via specific mechanicsthis is the only part of that that's true or good
>>568433421I was planning on league starting abyssal lich plants... am I cooked?
>>568433778oh really? you think>new players get to slowly acquire knowledge of crafting possibilties as they keep encountering new runes instead of having a long list dumped onto themis bad? that's an opinion for you to have I guess.
>>568433841plants are strong but soulless
>>568433742What I think I want or what you want me to think I want because it would be convenient for your argument?
>>568433609Anyone who properly ran the numbers and with the assumption that the level 20 gem has higher numbers than the level 1 gem they showed comes out a mote believer
Amazing how calling this game bad causes jeets to melt down for 5 hours
People arguing that socketables are the same as bench crafting are so retarded and worst of all they are just echoing the opinion of an equally retarded streamer (ziz)Bench crafting and runes are completely different, bench crafting is about adding/removing/interacting with prefixes/suffixes while runes/sockets allow for more granular modification of stats on your gear and do not interact with suffix/prefix crafting
>>568433892the guide I watched looked like you need to kill full power kulemak to become abyssal though
>>568432332Inventory bloat to sell more stash spaceThey've been doing this since Essence league
>>568433921>comes out a mote believerthe only reason to be a mote believer is if you're delusional and you can play the game without getting hit, or that bonuses that take a minute to ramp up are any good.motes are gonna be good for fighting bosses that attack never, and that's it.
>>568433851It's nonsense. No-one is overwhelmed by a list and they acquire knowledge at their own pace by being able to browse that list.
>>568433916you want to be rewarded for memorizing a spreadsheet. that's literally your only position.
UhhhHow the fuck do you do simulacrum?
>>568434045You don't
>>568434045you do, but you wont need spirit stacking until you can kill kulemak anways.By the time you are strong enough to kill him the questline will guide you to a guaranteed encounter with him at map tier 14 or some shit
>>568434045He only has like 2 million HP and a long wind-up on each phase, if you can't kill him before then your build sucks.
>>568433565TRVKE
>>568434072You made that shit up based on nothing but me calling you a retard you fucking retard. You know nothing about what I want except that it's not what you want. I eagerly await your next piece of retarded conjecture.
>>568434104>guaranteed encounter with him at map tier 14If you fail, you lose it tho?
buy the stash tab and stop complaining
>>568433565non-retards say this
>>568434183I feel like I've won the argument because you're resorting to insisting I don't understand your position instead of clarifying it in a way that addresses my argument against it.
>>568434205quests kills are infinite attempts.
armour es hybrid bases are so fucking good in the campaign my god.I completely stopped dying while wearing a few items like that. I'm on my 3rd campaign run while wearing chest helm and gloves with either armour or armour es and it's so fucking nice holy shit.
>>568434305Yeah, having played both pure ES and armour/ES, it's definitely comfier having a few thousand armor throughout campaign. You can get enough ES to avoid one shots anyway so I'd rather my bar be thicker.
>>568434205does his life reset when he kills you on the quest version? it didn't for me this league.
POOP
>>568433931they already beta tested a rune bench crafting system in settlers and it was fucking trash.
Remember beetle abuse? I do
>>568434367TWO
>>568434509I got my first good wand from it.
>>568434509yeah, that was 25 years agogood times
Ground loot, whatever happened there.
>>568434263My position is that your idea that some small amount of agency over your resists is the same as smart loot is retarded. This was clear from the start when I called you retarded. Instead you're arguing against some completely imagined nonsense about some desires of mine that you made up which have nothing to do with your stupid false equivalence.You're retarded.
>>568434509i never did a single beetle reset, i was too busy enjoying shield charge poison, im SO fucking mad they removed the cooldown on shield charge and gutted its damage FUCK SHIELD WALL
>>568433565THERMONUCLEAR TRVTH BOMB
will 0.5 have more players than poe mirage?
>>568434875No poo1 league will ever have higher player count than any PoE 2 league
>>568434875poe2 will always have more players because it's the new gamesadly this is what gaming has regressed to, normies don't wanna try good games, they only play new games
>>568434509No, the game was never hard enough to warrant overfarming in the campaign, even on HC.People were just fucking retarded and couldn't figure out that spamming 1 skill like in POE1 without leveraging some combo or multiplier was weak.
>>568434976>sadlykeep normgroids out of my nichekino
>>568434976I'll try your game as soon as it has WASD.
So whats the s+++ starter gonna be in terms of>fun>power>campaign
>>568434976it would be like playing diablo after diablo 2 released.
>>568433227This is a Good Thing™Currencies are too generic and simple in their right-click use, without the bench to tie them more strongly to the economy we have the overrun inflation of 0.4
>>568435072Tempest
>>568435081Many are saying this
>>568435081Diablo 1 has a traditional Roguelike inspired structure that lets it stand on its own even in comparison to 2.
>>568434947So far
I'm watching this "PoeGuy007" stream and hes playing act 1 and holy fuck im sure 90% of the playerbase is actually this bad at the game. This explains everything about the community hate towards the campaign.
>>568435081after playing both games I am of the opinion that d1 and d2 are completely different games.d1 has a different vibe all together from the other arpgs.
>>568434976>good gamespoo1 is neither good nor a game
>>568435243I mean... what did you expect? He's having fun with the game, more players should strive to be poeguy rather than fubgun
>>568435243>Hello! I'm a 37-year-old guy from Transaverage gamer dad skill, this is why video games are horrible nowadays they all cater to these fucks since they're the ones that are willing to put 1k euro monthly in mtx
>>568435386The entire idea of Diablo was Rogue but not turn-based whereas Diablo 2 was iterating and refining that into more of an action game.
>>568435072Mercenary. Though fun is subjective when it comes to grenades. You just go Witch Hunter or Tactician for now and then swap over to Gemling once we know what's good. That is probably where the fun comes in, atleast for me. It's a top tier choice if you don't want to make mutliple characters and like playing one character per league.
>>568435096the 0.4 economy proved that the poe2 system is better. the more currency the temple printed the more expensive specialty currencies became. in poe1 there is a meta div/h farm every league and you either do it or you are a broke retard.
>>568430476wunners on pooicide watch
>>568435406Theres nothing wrong with it but this guy just portaled out of manor ramparts to refill at the well. That is grandpa status.
>>568435243Im watching now I hope he still dies to Grenor on 'practice run 4#'
Imagine hating on poeguy for not being "l33t" enoughActual dipshits in this general
I was actually thinking of buying this stupid game, the hype train got me, until I saw someone playing the campaign.Slow, boring, ridiculous. You have to be buckbroken to do this every character. I hate streamers, but this one I'll give to them: this time they showed me the truth behind the hype.
>>568435776nigga he was glazing himself that he pressed 1 when fighting mobs

>>568436060he's wrong about the difficulty but he is right about skill diversity for some weapons.
>>568435386>d1 has a different vibe all together from the other arpgs.it's a classic for atmosphere but the combat is pretty much reduceable to "stand in a chokepoint: the game".
>>568436242somehow, poe1 is then d4
im going to say it - poe 2's combat is just straight up better. i like comboslop and rollslop
What a strange community. Waiting months for the new league and theory crafting how they can automate the game as much as possible and how they can spend the least amount of time playing it so that they can get back to waiting for the next league.
Genuine question, why would you want to go through so many hoops for spell totem? What's the benefit as opposed to just self casting?
poe2 is the sequel of poe1
>>568436060>>568436275its funny becaue I've watched two new players play act 1 in the last week and the game becomes extremely easy if you play it slower. the difficulty really is opt-in, the hard part is not going so fast that you lose time overall dying.
>>568436360Hate playing the game.
>>568436351the idea is that fun is had along the way. journey, destination, etc. this is also why speedtrannies are retarded
>>568435814It's not actually that slow. People are just really bad at video games. You do not have to be a speedrunner to breeze trough the campaign.
>>568436349WHAT THE FUCK????
>haven't played this shit game since last year>oh boy biggest patch ever time to jump back in>load up PoB>hasn't been updated in 5 months???????????Sooooooooooo how the FUCK do I make a build now???? Am I just supposed to copy a streamer's build from the new in-game build system?
>>568436408Yeah, if you stay a couple levels over the zone base and deal with every pack patiently it's pretty easy. It's only hard if you go fast.
>>568435814Obvious bait
>>568436428nah, speedrunning is mechanical and memorization-based. those are legit aspects of gaming and (in a good game) you get better at them even if you aren't trying to speedrun.
>>568432332Because Poopy 2 has zero content and runes are artificial content to plug the hole.
>>568436351the issue is GGG being incapable of designing encounters. If everything can randomly one shot you out of the blue, the best defense is killing them before they can act.Act 1 Geanor is probably the best fight in the game since you don't kill him too quickly and you can dance around each other, but after that GGG's only answer to strong builds is make the enemy more one-shotty.Honestly capping how much damage a boss can take per second and then actually making the fights fun would be a design improvement, but that takes effort, and stacking more damage multipliers is the easier shitlution.
>>568436060Why are poe1 babies like this
>>568436560>oh boy i cant wait to speedrun my surf and turfretard
>>568436351The players treat the game the same way the game treats the players. Maybe if GGG stopped sucking the fun out of every build in the game players would stop trying to work around it.
>>568436618>If everything can randomly one shot you out of the blue, the best defense is killing them before they can act.this argument is retarded because players are going to kill monsters as fast as possible no matter what.
>>568436618>Act 1 Geanor is probably the best fight in the game since you don't kill him too quicklyI see you have never fought him as a warrior with perfect strike. He dies in 3 seconds.
>>568436668It's more like playing the same thing on guitar every day for 2 years. You could try to play something that would challenge you and you'd learn something. It's a rewarding experience.
>>568436431Well this is what most people would call an "epic fast paced meaningful gameplay" PoE 2 build so yes, you have to be an autist playing one of 5 GGG-approved builds to actually have a good time.>>568428538

>>568436729nah, sometimes weaker build can be more fun to actually play. But if you'll get one shotted arbitrarily, you won't run it.

>>568436781poo2 was at gamesdonequick it's trans approved
>>568436775that's a mini-boss from act 1, idk what you expect at that stage of the game.
>a golden blob appears on a mob>Simon says boneshatterTruly revolutionizing the combat in ARPG's.
>>568436775What you don't understand is that poe 2 is all about gear upgrades that boss would explode on monk too if he had upgraded his staff or gotten damage on rings or gloves.
>>568436907There is going to be a mass Reddit suicide once people actually play the build and realize it isn't fun to play for more than 5 minutes and it doesn't trivialize endgame bosses which is all anyone really cares about.
>>568436845that boss is incredibly easy and I've never died to it, I don't know what the fuck this rando is doing>>568436781people have been speeding through the acts/campaign to start farming endgame longer than you've been alive little gup
>>568436896>if *I* get one-shotted """"arbitrarily"""" then *I* won't run a buildftfy
>>568436947Literally everything in the game pushes you towards doing everything faster. It trickles down into better builds in just about every way even discarding the competitive aspects.
>>568436909yet you're still here, interesting..
AI revolution is here!ChatGPT tells me to invest into life nodes on my monk tree
How come there's no damage numbers in this game?
>>568429863>Maybe I made a mistake following a Chrono build that made me take all ES shit till level 30, but it felt tanky at least. Helped out bossingIf a build is not taking straight damage for like the first 20 levels (with some travel of course) then you probably should respec into that later. I myself am doing a swap at like level 32 for my starter because if not then I don't have any decent damage nodes at the start.
>>568437027it's guythatdies, the speedrun recordholder. ofc dying probably only cost him 1h15m but it was still in hc immediately after saying the most ironic thing possible.
>>568437027It's actually a hard boss if you kill the mastadon first. He is cancer if you have low damage.

>>568437554Trannies keep saying this.
I hecking love salvo on twisters, makes the campaign so much fun and easy god damn.
So GG weapon is +1 suffix Rune and corrupt it for 2nd socket for +1 skill gem rune?
>>568437725I'm trans and I say this
>>568437728On a wand I'd rather have +30% Spell DMG than another suffix.
>>568437554not wrong
>>568437814i need to check the mod pool it cant be that bad
>>568437554The transfolk community says this
>>568437554after actually watching act 1 playthrough I can say this and know I am objectively correct
>>568437814uhhh can't the suffix be 200% Spell damage or crit dmg or atk speed on suffix? I thought wands were always short 1 suffix and you had to choose unless mirror tier?
Recommend me a China Chinese e-celeb.
I wanna play poo2 already..skipped most of the spoilers of what's new, except the crafting, can't wait to discover it and get disappointed probably

>>568438097Well, good luck rolling that, anon. It'll really suck if you miss since you can't remove the rune. I'll take the guaranteed damage.
>>568438089yeah I was right. Crit, crit dmg, cast speed, +level of all, and Primary attribute.
comparison is the thief of joy
>>568437957oh well this is bad because every ascendency needs to be equivalent... is something you appear to believe.
poe2 is better
>>568438219thats the point anon its that chase thats the kino part of the game >>568438175i think im going verashta for sure on launch then switching to chrono with a new kalguraan skill gem ive made my mind up now >>568438227i doubt you can scale further existing mods however im pretty sure you can do that with desecrated modifiers? no? i remember doing it with spell damage
>>568438367How does one is supposed to feel when looking at this?
>>568436060agree but should have an alternate more difficult version of the bossim a returning player from poe2's initial launchmaybe im just better at these types of games now but it feels like ogham got a hard nerf already in act 1
>>568438439I laughed at him for thinking 1.3k hours is noteworthy personally.
Do we know what light radius on gloves turns into for martial artists lol? I wanna know what GGG thinks the upgraded version of that is
>>568438429Well... I'm a bit of a dummy but it seems like this league is going to be a big one for negative rarity farmers as any high socket high ilvl weapons will be even more powerful than they ever were before.
>>568438506explode
We've decided to split the generals again. Next thread should go back to /poe2g/ like the last one. No poe1 talk or bench crafting discussion will be allowed.
Spiritwalker's whole thing is doing normal combat while summoning minions, right? Not just being a full minion build?Already did Djinn last league for a minion/spell hybrid, so I'm kinda torn between going full minion or doing yet another hybrid.
>>568438439>How does one is supposed to feellike when you really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like
>>568438429That's fair. It's more attractive for builds that care about crit in any case, my build only cares about cast speed and +levels. +AOE from a desecrate would be nice but I can fit that without. And really I only need +levels.
>cannot remove/replace new chrono mods, etcDeadgeNo one will use these. Maybe a tiny amount of ultra endgame builds.
>>568437957Surpised that hasn't been nerfed honestly. Slap on eternal rage for 50 spirit and still have room for 3 heralds if you like or whatever, just at base spirit level
>>568438615
>>568438649djinn is supposed to be hybrid? its more of either full caster or minion commanding (which tbf might as well be spells)
>>568437092I hope they rename the game for 1.0 so we can use AI to make builds. Right now, it gets confused and uses POE 1 info.
>>568438512does exceptional bases with multiple sockets have a higher drop rate with negative rarity in comparison to higher rarity? >>568438685you should consider crit later on you are missing out on huge damage scaling, i presume its something like EDC?
>>568438649Basically a hybrid but you can go fully into either direction if you want
>>568438367poo2 is more fun than poo1, phrecia taught me that poo1 is a lost cause at this point
>>568438649I think both archetypes are supported and playable.
Spirit Walker Companions:>only 134% inc damage in your section of the tree, which is not enough to scale any build to viable levels. spectres need 500%+ inc damage, for reference. >companions did about 500 base damage and they were only buffed by 84%. a rare companion is going to do about 20-40k dps in top-end gear, assuming its dumbfuck AI even lets it hit the target>squishy as fucking shit with EV/ES gutted and unable to get "damage taken by companions" until lategame>boss companions are a new ascendancy ability, so they will be undertuned just like Manifest Weapon/Void Illusions on release/etcIs this the biggest bait of all time? It looks legitimately terrible yet multiple streamers are baiting 100k+ people into playing it. It's going to be a disaster. Like Poison Tornado Shot-tier disaster.
>>568438956Touch some grass no offense.
>>568438937Yeah. You're right that it's a nice way to scale my Hexblast. It's just this is last on the list of things I'd be doing to bring a build together as an SSF player. It all functions and works without it. It's hard enough just to get a +4 Wand with good prefixes.
>>568438956TUBBED
>>568433931Sockets are much better for new players. Simple as. Ziz has horrible takes on POE 2. Simple as.
>>568438815"Who do you think gave you their hair?"
>>568438937negative rarity drops more white items with sockets its especially powerful if u can run temples with it
>>568439071You are forgetting that it will be combined with twisters.
>>568433841Raxx do you wash your hoodie?
>>568438956you just haven't played in the fun poe1 mode, ruthless
>>568438956Phrecia was a mistake, yeah
>>5684390711) increased damage on the tree is a meme2) you can give companions half of your weapon flat, and you can have numerous companions (e.g wolf pack) which is a multiplier to to your wep damage3) damage taken from minions/companions is not needed in a1 and is accessible way before endgame4) boss companions will probably be shit numerically and will just be a "for fun" thing, I agree.
>>568439218>twisters that deal no damage because you have invested 70% of your tree into "Companions deal 6% extra as chaos damage" and "Companions move 20% faster" instead of projectile speed
I can only play on launch day and then will be gone for 2 weeksshould I start EDC or Martial Artist?
did preload started on standalone client?
>>568439506not for me
>>5684395062 days early?
If runes are so important for campaign power the game should shower us in artificier orbs or add a bench or npc where you pay gold to add sockets, but instead when you're league startig you look at the shitty item and think "yeah I better save this orb to add a socket on a better item"
I like how they added this retarded rune instead of just giving weapons the ability to roll chaos modifiers lmao
>>568439570I dont know so I am asking. Steam receives preload very very late
>>568439585Remember to salvage all socket items instead of disenchant
>>568439620This lets me turn several elemental damage modifiers all into Chaos modifiers though. That sounds nuts for stacking.
>>568429667Martial Artist literally can't be bait because monk builds are already good and it will rely on the same scaling. Spirit Walker is bait because it is new/updated scaling and content creators are making twisters look strong when 95% of people will hate the playstyle it requires. Also there aren't enough nodes to fully invest in companions so they can not be your main damage in endgame. (I'm sure Tame Boss can probably carry you to T15s though just not uber/pinnacle bosses). I was going to go Spirit Walker but after thinking about it, I'm going MA.

>>568439102>You're right that it's a nice way to scale my Hexblastdidnt ggg remove the hexblast interaction with a support gem and now you cant run hexblast as a skill anymore? i could be wrong>>568439191only uniques run negatives like ventors right?
>>568439585It does. Literally buy every socketed item from the vendor until they get to like 800g and salvage them. Usually sometime in Act 3 is when I stop.
>>568439506There was a patch a day or 2 ago that ended the league, not sure if it loaded anything else.
>>568439620sounds cool desu, kinda nice that they arent on weapons, would be annoying to have another stat i dont want on any mace skill by default
>>568439810I run a 2 self-cast Curse build with 4s Curse duration so I get two 200-300k Hexblasts every 4-6 seconds accounting for execution, curse time and cast speed. It's alright. Takes a lot of button pressing.
>>568439693why are people acting like twister is the only skill that will work with spirit walker?
>>568439620So making chaos gear is just way easier than elemental ones for some reason?
>>568439939that sounds cool got a pob for it you dont mind sharing? you could run that with chrono with time snap for cooldown recovery
>>568435486Hmmm frost fragmentation or galvanic or explosive?
>>568439810the cheap way to do it is use the ascendancy that gets 3 rings and run 3 negative ventors yes.
>>568440184Goddamn ritualists give me this on the sorc and witch ggg
>>568440026https://pobb.in/A2qBzxg0y8K9Sure, here it is. It's indeed not Lich reliant at all, most of the best Chaos nodes aren't exclusive to Witch anyway. Lich is just a really comfortable start. In fact this build doesn't even work with the extra Curse Lich node because it makes your Curses infinite duration so you can't detonate them with Hexblast any more.
>1 day til league launch>still not one single build posted anywhere on the entire Internet>no PoE 2 """creators""" have posted anything relevant on their channels about this so called biggest patch everAre there any actual people who play the game or is it just bots botting bots?
Some anon a few threads ago mentioned flicker strike and mantra combo/power shenanigans, was wondering if there's a build to share, I'm too dumb to figure it out.
>>5684402802 days
>>568440280try vpn'ing out of north korea
>>568440280good, you should discover the game while playing it, instead of watching some no-life players and planning your entire gameplay experience on them
>x_thefarmer is 38 years oldHow the fuck asians age so well?
>>568440302basis is that you use culmination with ailith's to stack up combo, use it gaining both benefits and then flicker strike
>>568439979Because it at least somewhat synergizes with companions if you tame beasts with flame/ice trails, etc. And it can use the projectile speed also.
>>568440482young haircuts and no beard
>>568438815This made me realize that Jonathan has the hair of a 70yo female politician. What the fuck is up with that?
>>568440280do you forgot what builds you played last league?
>>568440482There is no way this is true.
>>568440261>https://pobb.in/A2qBzxg0y8K9ty ill bookmark this, another thing to consider instead of chaos bolt for 0.5 is the new unique coil curse wand they showed from deli it scales chaos/phys alongside amount of curses you have, i think if there is no kino kalguraan skill gems ill follow this along on chrono, i have a question though, so ive never played poe2 hexblast do you have to press all those enfeeble, temp chains then press hexblast for it to do damage or can you just cast hexblast by itself?

>>568440482Wait until you find out how young 38 year old Brazilians look
>>568440632We just had the biggest patch ever with buffs/nerfs and new classes added. Why would I play an old build when GGG just added thousands of new builds to the game?
>>568440528What about the rest? I'm surprisingly bad at figuring out a nice spread of defence and offence. Do you just stack phys/chaos damage and deflect on the tree?
>>568440665Yeah, the new Wand looked really cool, I might try to Chance one but it's hard because every good Chaos wand is a good opportunity to get a better one. Hexblast used to just need a Curse but now the Curse has to have half of its duration expired. The idea is you have Weapon Set 1 loaded with your duration boosters while Weapon Set 2 has one node reducing the Curse durations. You can actually get the duration down even further with other stuff on the tree but I find 4 seconds is a comfortable enough point to get through my rotation of applying 2 Curses along with ED/C and an Effigy. The Enfeeble has the fast set-up as far as Gems go, there's also some -duration in the top right of the tree, but I mostly just use Temp Chains/Despair.
so how do you craft martial weapon post nerfs?

>>568441561Please refer to this image>>568429136
>>568441521Yeah, you could play that in 0.1 where it worked that way and it was really fun with Blood Mage. I understand what they're going for, they want it so when you do jump through all these hoops Hexblast is worth it and really powerful and thus they can't make it easy to spam, I think it could stand to do some more damage still though. It'd also be cool if they bring back some high-end chase unique that enables a way to do it again. or something.

do you think pathfinder will still be the go to choice for poison+bleed builds with poison grenades?I don't just don't see gemling taking the placeYou want the new defensive and quality nodes (as well as max res ones) to compete with pathfinder's sorc ES nodes and ele damage reduction based on EV. only difference now is gemling has extra quality + new qualities while pathfinder has double poisons applied to enemies. also, pathfinder has the better starting position for poison and has ~10 more points to spend on passives because of better pathing

Why aren't you playing temper weapon smith if you like the methodical pace of combat lil chudettes?
>>568442001You should have a +1 Chaos wand by then and Geonor should go down in a couple of minutes with ED/C.

>>568441709hopefully they do this in the future it should be that way with high investment imo
>>568442048>not sure what the issue is?well it costs you something to generate them and it's poo2 so it tends to be at least a little conditional or clunky.I'm not trying to discourage you from playing it, just saying why it makes sense to me that more people use whirling. It's probably really mostly the movement.

Wtf I just randomly got disconnected and lost the entire map
>>568442596>randomly
when are they adding flamethrowers?
>>568442371For some reason I thought Dreamcore was black. Or like heavily mixed.
>>568442371was the 17 damage druid guy anyone noticeable before or is he just riding the wave from that 1 clip?

>>568442596>>568443178for some reason I also got disconnected on that exact map. I'm sure its just a coincidence :)
>leech cap is 40000 damageThat still means leech is far superior? If i have 5% leech on a ring and deal 40k damage thats 2000 recovery over one second, imagine trying to reach that number with life regen

>>568444464I was a homebody and a NEET for many years and hated the idea of ever travelling.Now I've been up to the north pole, all over north america, europe, and the mediterranean. Having those experiences did help me grow as a person.Nothing against people who don't travel, it's expensive. But there is value in it.
>>568444782that's why you go fucking outside
Japan 2026 is not Japan anymore retards

So when are the alternate qualities going to be datamined I need this information
UH OH STINKY
>>568445535It's weird, but I look exactly like this. I only say a few of these things though.
Leveling with EDC is so fucking boring. Who the fuck would do this shit every league?
>>568445659Blame Jonathan for Act 1 being way overtuned.
Here's how I'm gonna blast act 1: pick bear, do slam, kill bossSatisfaction guaranteed
>>568445757yeah, he really dropped the ball with acts 2 3 and 4
>>568445535Don't care. I'm having a blast right now.
>>568443140can you imagine being a cute japanese girl minding her own business only to catch a creepy bald fat fuck with glasses leering at you?sometimes I feel bad for women.
>>568445535Every sane person is saying this.
>>568445880That's a fetish for a lot of japanese women, they're very kinky like that.
Who is "Depths guy"?
>>568445484you met your typical brownskin who worships demons. muslims and indians are practically the same if you look at their belief systems. what makes them so despicable is how they unironically believe that everyone should serve them as slaves. the hopes and dreams that they one day have an army of slaves at their command is the only thing that keeps this wretches alive. in the muslim desert pig-demon belief system, the greatest reward for them is to wake up after death and be surrounded by slaves. travel to these countries is only good if you want to lose the last bit of hope you have for humanity. it changed me in a way that I nowadays with nothing but death to shitskins. vile vermin.
so what does this actually do?
>>568446068allows you to use combo payoff skills while using other weapons
>>568445849this 0.5 is a lot of fun and a true return to form
Oh, yeah. Bloody hell. I'm sweating in here. Roasting. Boiling. Baking. Sweltering. It's like a sauna. Furnace. You can fry an egg on my stomach. Ohh, who wouldn't lap this up? It's ridiculous. Tremendous. Fantastic. Fan-dabby-dozy-tastic.
>res swapping is lategame onlyok
>>568446068can you read?
>>568446126that should be baseline
>>568446153you don't need resists until lategame
>>568446068it means you can use werewolf pounce for mark and then swap to qs/hpt without losing combo stacks
>>568445998I never understood why people with ugly personalities and ugly, pear-shaped faces constantly make selfies. It's so unpleasant to look at.
>>568446068combo is melee attack hits normally. not all attack hits.
>>568445659Have you tried Twister and then transitioning to EDC?
>>568446126I'm confused about the second part, don't you already do that? Or is this supposed to mean using the skill that benefits from combo also grants combo (whereas culmination normally wouldn't do that)
the seeping brown resides within us all
>>568443319patch isn't out yet m9
man I was gonna league start djinn varashta and I can't believe how many direct and indirect buffs it's getting this patch considering how strong it already was.>>568446246softcore moment
>>568446331currently, combo is lost on weapon swap, so this notable both allows you to better optimize your damage with weapon swaps for payoff skills and makes it so you don't need to waste a socket on culmination.not going to bother testing but your question about the combo payoff skill itself now generating combo is interesting, based on the wording of the notable I would assume this to be the case provided that the payoff skill is an attack hit
>>568446781It looks like absolutely everyone is getting buffs.
>>568446068>unironically using mobaniggitics
>>568446781>softcore momentNot at all, Doryani's the only boss that has threatening amounts of elemental damage and you should be dodging him properly or onephasing him anyway.If you're an actual hardcore player and not a larper, I invite you to actually play a campaign run without resists.
>>56844678120% is fine.
JONATROON
>boss encounter starts>boss instantly goes into invulnerability phase and shits out mechanicswhy does poe2 do this? such a bad game my god
>>568447043opening yourself up to avoidable oneshots is just silly. I'm always prioritizing resists even if the campaign itself is trivial to me now. Everyone makes mistakes.
If boss invuln phases are so good in poe 1, why doesnt poe 2 have more of them?
at what point do we stop calling it early access and start calling late access?
>infernalist minion 0.1>Amazon LS 0.2>infernalist minion 0.3 (I wanted to go demonform but its ass)>Wolf shaman Not sure what I want to do for 0.5. I really liked wolf shaman so I might do that again since they reworked endgame.
>5 days to league start, decided on a build, chilling>4 days to league start, did couple test runs, seems okay..>3 days to league start, self doubt while looking around at all the other builds..>2 days to league start, panic, 20 tabs open comparing different builds, no idea what to playEVERY! FUCKING! TIME!
>>568448317comparison is the theft of joy
>>568448317literally meI never decide until queue opens up
I bought this game on new year's eve, spent some 100+ hours enjoying it, and went off (never having reached the endgame). This is going to be my first engagement with the a launch of a new expansion, so what should I expect and operate to and with on Friday to be at the same pace as you lot?
>>568448404yeah, but i'm not comparing their boss kill timers or whatever, just how it looks and feels to play, i know i'll probably end up with 10 alts again to try all the different stuff anyway, but i just don't want a starter that i end up hating and immediately abandon on tier 3 maps
I BELIEVE IN THE HEART OF THE GEMSleague start twister GL with me
got to Level 98 last season then there was no content left. Do you think its time to get to level 99, since they added ton of new stuff?Last one was this and I play only one char each season. Druid was fun but dragon form was the most buggy one.https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/PathOfRussian-2417/vaal/character/DruidWhoKnewIt
>>568448317i know exactly what I want to do, and have no idea how to make it
So what exactly does "surpassing" mean for chances and the like?
Friendly reminder, if you're a newfag THIS is the build you should play. It's hands down the safest, smoothest and most fuck-up resistant way to get into the true end-game.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APHc82wJtk4
>The Adamant Recovery Notable Passive Skill has been replaced by Fortified Aegis, which grants 100% increased Armour, Evasion and Energy Shield from Equipped ShieldAh yes, just what I wanted, 100% Increased Evasion rating (from Shields) at the farthest point from Evasion on the tree as possible.This actually kills AR/ES setups lmao
>>568448543>never having reached the endgameact 4 and 3 interludes unless you want to touch the endgame so it's a lot more
whiners wanting everything done easy and fast need to fuck off
>>568448724I never get past lvl90, but always make a few chars
>>568448543expect the servers to shit themselves, various bugs, undercooked quality of life for the league mechanic, and some kind of "exploit" being patched by monday or tuesday. league starts are kino.
>>568448764If you have 200% chance to gain a Power Charge when you kill an enemy, you gain 1 Power Charge.If you have 200% Surpassing chance to gain a Power Charge when you kill an enemy, you gain 2 Power Charges.
>poo2 this, poo2 thatZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzZzzzzZZZZZI'm here for 3.29 leaks and discussion, not a paid beta test lmao!
>>568449004everyone is saying this
Remember when PoE2 was supposed to tone down the complexity because PoE1 was too confusing to new players?
>recently went back to shift work>0.5 launches at 5 pm local time>I'll be at workI guess I'll miss the servers shitting themselves but I like the energy and buzz around a new league
>>568448947Ah, I get it now (assuming you meant 100% chance to gain a power charge for the first line). Thanks.
real ones remember having only 3 difficulties of Dominus
>poe1
>>568448884dunno I like to nerd out with a class and ascendancy I never played each season it just makes it more fun for me to min-max. So it always feels like completely fresh start each season, but yeah apparently there are some people that already played all ascendancies holy fuck
>>568449064no
>>568449159No, I meant 200%.If you have 200% chance (not Surpassing), then the effect happens 1 time, same as if you had 100%.If you have 200% chance (Surpassing), then the effect happens 2 times.
I bought 1500 points worth of MTX for my would-be Martial Artist. Am I retarded? No, I should re-word it: exactly how retarded am I?
>>568449159And I just misread what you posted. I still get it however.
>>568448543I hope you have fun anon, league starts are the best with the economy reset and excitement around new content and skills. Keep in mind that along with the usual returning traffic, GGG are hosting a free weekend and a sale for access so this will be even busier than normal, on top of the major end-game changes bringing back a large number of people to begin with. Expect the first few hours to be very unstable.In terms of pace, keep yourself within 2-4 levels of whatever zone you're in, run past mobs unless it's a large or magic pack and just kill as you go. Note your upgrades, supports, and breakpoints so you don't spend much time in town and just keep pushing forward.
>>568448543i paywall my campaign times

>>568449447they don't do sales for the packs, do they?
>destroys all augments on an item to create a jewel socket>socket cdr rune>roll cdr mod>socket jewel rune>creates jewel socket>keeps cdr rollEZ
>>568441923They don't know what to do with PoE2 cosmetics.>PoE1 cosmetics are natural creep of glowy but acceptable armor to crazy meme shit>PoE1 cosmetics exist because the base models look so bad you need to cover them up>PoE2 actually looks great and all of the armor looks great>People have old MTX from PoE1 anywaysLike they borderline should have made it so only stash tabs transfer over or something, because right now all they can do is just keep making PoE1 style cosmetics (as they have to be used across both games) that just look ugly or dumb in PoE2. Then when they make something PoE2 focused it looks bad in PoE1.
>>568447762>opening yourself up to avoidable oneshots is just sillyThe campaign is rife with avoidable oneshots (monke slam, various boss abilities shotgunning) and stacking resists is much poorer protection against them than stacking other defenses or offenses.> I'm always prioritizing resists Ok and what are your campaign times? Be honest.
>>568449385>>568449447Thanks. My saving grace is that I didn't have to spend any $ right now for that - I had 5500 points saved up on my account throughout the years because I occasionally buy support packs but rarely spend points. NGL, I'm pretty hyped for 0.5.
>>568449529>socket jewel runedoes he know?
>>568430476I am arguing with one PoE1 nerd that says PoE2 is shit and it will fail and its not like PoE1 and nobody will play it.Why are they like this
Now that I have a build/tree together I am significantly more excited for the league. Unfortunately, that now means I can barely focus on other games.
>>568449625as a fellow autist I know how rough it is to be stuck in waiting-mode
reminder: if you didnt play rend wyvern last season you missed out, it will never be good again. you should be very concerned about what build you'll miss out on forever if you dont play it this league
Yoink the mod and then also dualwield them with Giant's Blood. Stack just a wee bit of mana and you win the game.
>>568443605I want to go to Japan, but I also wanna go to Europe. Not sure where would be better to go. I'm thinking probably Japan this Autumn and then Europe sometime next year.I need my dumb passport to come already, shit takes like 6 weeks.
>>568449725I played toxic growth pathfinder which will also never be good again
>>568449739nigga its a fucking mace
>>568449725oh no, I didn't get a chance to play a literal auto-attack build
the question is, did they buff companions to such absurd level that the build will be a walking simulator? I don't believe they did, but there are at least 3 jewtubers playing it
The unique extract rune is going to be hinekora lock rare. Stop fantasizing about it

bob5 is now a deadlock streamer instead of poe because of the ricecel ruetoo sexual extortionwhy can't these incels stop chasing away all the biofem POE streamers...
Why are all the current supporter packs so shit?I guess I like the new hideout, but the armour set is the most vomit inducing thing i've ever seen.
>>568449508They do sales for the cosmetics, which you spend the points on.But also, there's no reason to buy the packs until you need the points.>>568449578Okay, now that's far more reasonable. With that knowledge in mind, you're only a dumbass whale. Overall, like 6/10 on the retard scale instead of 9/10.
>>568450013How old is this Reddit template now?
should I download now or just wait for the league to start

>>568450274they'll fix it in three years trust
Have I been banned?
>>568450062Hideouts are whalebait, cause most people who buy them aren't creative enough to decorate a Hideout (not including the fact that Hideout decoration in PoE2 is still abysmal shite).People who want house decorator gameplay (the true endgame) want flat Hideouts.The funniest part is that they even have some flat Hideouts in the Last of the Druids mystery box..Despite Hideout decoration being too barren to make use of them.
>>568450442yes
>>568450027Poo 1 will now only be used to farm cosmetics for poo 2 kek
>>568450280don't we download the whole game again every new league?
>>568450498pretty much
>>568450498Challenges have always been the primary reason I play, chasing that carrot is fun even when the rewards are shit (like in necro league).
>ziz will shit himself to deathfitting end for poo2
>>568450216Because he's the asmongold of POE.He has a big loyal incel army that will lash out everywhere if he gets banned, they already harrassed that foid after the scandal when he got banned from twitch for 3 days over it.GGG doesn't want to kick the hornet's nest and will turn a blind eye unless it's something that causes a bigger public outcry.
>>568450607Yeah maybe if you're a complete imbecile, rest of us just patch to latest version.
>>568450638
>>568450027I am partial to the mask, at least on male characters. I've always liked metal plated masks.
>>568449532the only good poe1 cosmetic
>>568450356>oh you're one of those.You're trying to "optimize" the campaign by getting resists to not die, but now you refuse the framework of optimization entirely because you're insecure about your campaign times. I don't know why you turned this into an Izzat PVP battle when we could've just calmly discussed the impact of resists in early POE2, which is much different than the impact of resists in POE1. I even know a few very good arguments for your side of the argument (chaos trial traps), but at the end of the day, resists protect you against almost nothing really dangerous and don't really save you flasks (because most of the damage is not elemental).Just test your own hypothesis (that resists are good early on) for your own knowledge, by doing a run without prioritizing them over anything else on gear. You don't have to prove anything to me.

>>568450846Heh that helmet is so dorky.
>>568450027I like how it looks on the female models but on the male characters it's pretty mid.
>>568450638I also like challenges and I at least use them as a metric for 'milestones'Back in the day I used to at least get 24 in every league and then it was when I basically would say to myself "Am I having enough fun to go for 36 or 38?" and if not I'd quit, and if yes I'd go for it. I think Necro league made me reconsider that though, I think I logged on and got 24 challenges like 2 or 3 days before the league ended.
>>568450846kino skinsyou can rain trash on cuties
>>568450027Witch is so fucking hot
>>568450850Might have to wrap up the last few challanges to get the mask but all the remaning shit required like 100 divines to complete because of dead league inflation lmao
>>568450050i think they were both to blame for that shit, she knew she was going towards a weinstein sexpest harrasing saying sexual shit to what would be a coworker because thats what another streamer is amongst ruetoo, fubgun and jungroan towards her, she used this to gain followers and viewers and tried at the same time to keep it at arms length but as soon as it turned to image destruction of her being a paid ewhore and it was openly said by someone in the community joke or not she sperged out to save face like everyone didnt already know what the deal was he used the power of a streamer with viewers to do what he did alongside her going along with it until it didnt benefit herfuck all of them
any good poe2 cosmetics to buy? pretty much all my shit from poe2 isnt ported.
>>568450934flawless logic
So I haven't played the game since the very launch league (well it wasn't even a league anyway, you get what I mean), how do I prepare for Friday? Do I try practicing or should I just yolo it and discover all the new shit as I go on league launch?

>non of the armor sets feel Monky enough to use on a martial artistwelp
>>568451014The problem with poo 1 challenges on trade is that you need to go out of your way to complete 90% of them. It's pretty boring. The ones they showed for this poo 2 league looked like things you would do naturally during progression.
>>568451197My favorite part is seeing the leaked DMs between them and seeing Ruetoo typing like what I can only assume is what a retard thinks of how a 'chad' talks to a woman kek.Hilariously cringe for a nigga his age.
>>568451250I honestly haven't really seen any. Even the skills effects are boring in PoE2.PoE2 is much more realistic which overall is an aesthetic I like more, but it means like...>OH BOY, I CAN'T WAIT TO PAY $15 TO MAKE MY ARC (which is a tiny blue shock effect) INTO A VAAL ARC (slightly red shock effect)In PoE1 it is a giant massive lightning effect that clutters up the entire screen, but by God is it visible.
Why is minions the hardest to gear?
Hello /poeg/ I was asleep and at work. Anything new in the last 16 hours?
>>568451483Does poo2 have vanishing dye yet? That'd be the obvious pick.
Will D5 be good?

>>568451352You need the bucket of water mtx to wash her dirt off. All the male characters also look like they rolled around in dirt.
>>568451551They're called CHALLENGES anon. You absolutely complete like 10-12 PoE1 challenges by just completing the campaign and doing some mapping. The other 24 you do have to either go out of your way to do, grind, or spend some money. Kind of makes sense for challenges, ya know?
>>568450906>insecure about your campaign times.stopped reading there. Continue justifying your autism but I'm done engaging with you
Rate my GF, she wants me to start as Spirit Walker but I'm not so sure about that.

Should I use shaper or maven transmog for my witch league start?
>>568451594
I literally ignored challenges in every league and I have over a 1000 hours in POO1.No, I do not want to do 1000000000 maps or run 999999999 blighted maps.
>>568451657Not if they keep their current loot system. People who have not played it don't know that the loot system is what kills the game.
>>568451250Don't the prices for this shit is just stupid. 10 dollars for a helmet skin alone is retarded. If they sold full armor set for 10 I would buy some.
look, I get it, if you don't have the totems for completing poe1 challenges it's ok, the game is old and everyone missed many of the leaguesbut everyone who doesn't complete the challenges and starts collecting all the totems in poe2 from this league and onward will be kicked from the guild
>>568451753id rather kms that share a bed with that ghoul
still cant decide what to playmartial artist thrusting wave darth maul type shitorwitch hunter SOMETHING
>>568451726>I'm done engaging with youThat's a shame, I could've made you a better player.

>>568451657Just make D2R with Project Diablo 2 and Reimagined and you honestly got something special lol its not that fucking hard for D5 to make something insane but they wont they are retarded as fuck

poeguy's build is legit, more people should play it
>>568452054sending this to zaccie right now
IDK, if you are doing the campaign + preludes in 5 hours you are faster than 90% of the players, pushing for sub 4 hour is useless if you are not pushing for top 1 XP.>>568451657Just re-release D2R with online mod support and private servers and enjoy the 20 milion copies sold in the first 3 years.

>>568451717The only challenge is spending 50 div on a unique map. It's terrible.
>>568451798asians are so fucking weird
socket bound?is that a new thing?you cant ever remove or replace it or what does this do?
>>568451657d5bad
>>568450498>>568450027>implying I'm subjecting myself to 20h+ of the atrocious dogshit that is PoE1 for a few pixels...
>>568452174>didn't get this shared for free in global chat back when league was still aliveSkill issue tbqh.
>>568452218yes, it's permanent there
>>568452174Yes, having to farm up a unique map from a Delve boss or spend 50 divs on it sounds like an adequate challenge for a Gear Grinding Game.
>>568451798Is this rizz?
i do 40/40 every league and never use the mtx or the totem
>>568451657chris wilson will be making it
>>568452218Yes, socket bound means you cannot replace it.
>>568452174>do delve>put rin in fortification>buy the map>buy a party slot??
>>568451717>10-12You don't get anything worthwhile unless you hit 12, so 10 and 11 don't matter.You can reasonably complete 11 Challenges before Red maps without trading for Div cards and such.And that's a lot more than "some" mapping.
>>568452450the black and fake chris wilson, surely
Anyone cooked anything with the new grenade launcher? Feels cool thematically, but last time I tried motar cannon cluster grenade, it killed my frames and quit 0.3 at interludes.
>>568450027The challenge armour for poe 2 looks pretty mid compared to this lol
>>568452583nah the baldie fattie retardo chris
>>568452543What the fuck are you talking aboutWithout even trying, you're around 10-11 by the end of white mapsIf you then go and do that dumb side quest you didn't do while leveling, boom, you're at 12
>>568452612they should expand the pale council lore desu
>>568452218Socket bound permanently sticks your rune to the socket, as part of the new metacrafting features. Overwhelmingly it just makes certain options bad like this one but technically this gives you the unique possibility of stacking 3 fire mods on a weapon>Triple added flat>Convert lightning and cold into fire>Triple added fireNot terrible, but hardly worth bricking your sockets
>>568452649Well, if you have a shit PC its impossible to play grenades still, Oil Grenade and Cluster Grenades are melts CPUs.
>>568452753PoE has a ton of really cool lore that will never be expanded upon or we'll have to wait 10 years. For now it is a lot of Vaal and Kalguuran bullshit, at least in PoE2.
>>568452791Might be alright to get triple fire res for smith running a bunch of uniques.

>>568452997No? They were already great and now grenades are getting buffs and a whole new base type. Crossbows rape the campaign and transition well into maps.
>>568452791There's one that convert ele to chaos, I expect that one to be niche usable at least.

i want to be stripped naked, be put into chastity cage, dressed up in a cute outfit and have makeup be put on me by chronomancer >~<
>>568452996It could be very based for that yes.>>568453232Could be very based with the Chaos bow but Bow has almost no raw phys abilities and all the poison ones got quad tapped. Chaos damage is kind of dead as an archetype on 2 currently outside of Ed/c

>>568452705>you're around 10-11 by the end of white mapsPremap: The first 7 (including the side quest one and Peddler's Produce)Whites: Helpful Hideaways, Added Accessories, Atlas Additions, Wishful Willing (You are now at 11)>Theoretically, you can do Sacred Sigils, but nobody's going to sit in White maps for a minimum 150 maps>Theoretically you could do Cross Contamination, but practically, you're not lol>Theoretically Crafting Craze, but no lol>Theoretically Empowered Encounters>Theoretically Coveted Currency>Theoretically Glorious Gemcraft>Theoretically Tyrannical Tiers (lmao)Yellows: Nothing, not even Ascend because that now requires a Bloodline and the only one you could possibly get is Sanctum, but nobody's doing that lmaoReds: Master MissivesHigh Reds: Everything else.The fact is, you are not hitting 12 Challenges organically (or even targeted without specifically doing it to prove a point) before Red maps.Hell, I even got a Nameless King fight offering out of a T8 map, but you can't just run those anymore, you gotta unlock the spot on the map which is locked behind like a T15 if I remember right.So again, that's a lot more than "some" mapping.And a fair bit more than "without even trying."
>>568454038I never understood the appeal, those costumes must be hot as hell and not in a good way.
>>568454042>all that deep researchOkay, I stand corrected, you are rightFor some reason it always felt like I get the 12 reward very-very early without even trying, maybe I'm just reaching that point in reds earlier than I think I am
Jonathans wife is hot as fuck btw. Literally a 9/10 at least.
Summer makes my cock stinky winkyI should play coc comet huh
>>568453975Nerfed? Who cares about minimum lvl. They start dropping sooner now, GGG even clarified that its a buff for retards like you.
>>568454290Post a pic of her? Hes either loaded with money or has a massive hog only way he scored a baddie
People are calling him delulu for this take
>>568454290It's true, she's a former winner of Miss Ladyboy Thailand.
>>568454042nigga you couldve done like 30 challenges in the time it took you to write these posts
>>568454375he's right thoughie
>>568454216Thank you for not being an asshole about it, Anon. I appreciate that.The Challenges themselves aren't horrible if you can just brain off push through the game easily.But here lately I bounce off PoE1 more and more and the challenges by extension feel far worse.I am definitely a "casual" overall nowadays.But yeah, they've been getting worse and worse League after League and are just an incredibly horrible checklist for someone like me.
>>568454374>Hes either loaded with money Are you retarded? He's literally a GGG co-founder. He has at least like 50m in the bank.
>>568453640Whats your mom build?>>568454375Not eating boogers on stream in front of people is impossible challenge for this tard btw.
>>568453640>my momis your mom hot?
>>568454375this is going to be a 1 week league so im glad the challenges are a joke
>>568454290Wait. Before you tell us. Im going to bet 50 div that shes is asian.
So if i am planning a build that runs archmage, there is literally 0 reason not to run spell totem, right? Since they have insane synergy together
>>568454038real cocks are disgusting but women dominating is hot
Grindy challenges are not real challenges, I'd rather this than retarded ''did you do enough of X yet?'' '''''''challenges''''''
>>568454375To be fair most players aren't doing pinnacle content
>>568454705Unless we get any last minute nerfs it should be cool.
>>568454375Again. Poo 1 challenges aren't hard. They are all just retarded time sinks that require you to do pointless side content or worse, retarded vendor trades that you just look up on the wiki.
Newfag, will this build be good this new league? I like bears and it's funny seeing a huge bear just jump around killing everyone.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MkXZedNjDY
>>568454869Having just 8 challenges that are completely free isn't any better either.
when do they shadow drop the new classes/swords/ascendencies?
>>568454375isn't this just saying the game is too easy? because it asks you to do the top end content, the only way it can get more "challenging" is making it grindier, which is what they do in poe1
>>568454734>women dominating is hotI will never understand 'men' who think this.
>>568454971In 0.6
>>568454908Yes bear dodged all nerfs :)
>>568455039i'm sure a streamer will give you a guide
>>568455162>he doesn't know
they are going to add 2 more classes in 0.8
>>568454981I wish 1 would go back to how they did the challenge rewards where less invested players could just do the basic ass challenges for a default version of the mtx, while the nolife grinders could get a shiny one for doing it all.
>>568454908I played a lot of bear in 0.4 (ssf) it is good and smooth build. Few problems:In late game you run out of mana after 2 slams, I solved it by having "gain extra %physical damage" on talisman (Problem #1 you cant have 2 perfect essence mods on item now, so you cant have this mod and then perfect essence +lvl to attacks AND YOU NEED +lvl to ATTACKS and not melee, since calamity is attack skill) and Mana leech + life leech on gloves/ring/weapon (preferably to have both on same ring and as many +dmg to attacks on ring(breach) since its really cool ring to catalyst).Without this tech you are either forced to run "Restore %mana on kill" on jewel or get ready to constantly hear "OUT OF MANA" in scottish accent.Also you need ~50-60k armor to feel unkillable. So thats another problem
>>568454908Bear is mostly untouched. The most significant nerfs are to bhatairs vengeance which you used to get a bunch of extra cold damage, and at the top end we dont have reverse chill anymore which made bear just insano. Also you will generally have a shittier talisman unless you go for the unique one
>>568455241>he can't recognize a joke
>>568451798What the fuck am I looking at

>>568454375the challenges are "do all of the content in the game", mr. rogers even talked about how they added the challenges so players could have a non-arbitrary stopping point if they wanted one.
>frost bomb >pick up infusion>frost nova>navira's fracturing>screen explodesthis is PEAK combo game play and will never, ever be topped. Disagree with me. You won't.
>>568454981they said that this patch they removed "pinnacle" bosses n shit, probably to bridge the gap for dadgamers and casuals.so it does make sense that the challenges reflects that of "babbys first endgame", i dont think enough people who plays a lot of poe 2 caught on to the fact that they are making the topend content EASIER numerically this patch
>>568454375Yes the challenges this league are a joke but there are only 8 and it is clearly designed just go give free weekenders a 'hook'
>>568454908Bear is strong and fun. It beats the campaign pretty well and maps decently. It is good at chain stunning bosses to death.
