everyone swapping to minions rn and its annoying me
everything is spiking in price

its the only op build not nerfed

ye but since you start playing it dont you already cap out on gear now ?

its the only op build not nerfed
not really GAS still op
heavy blaze
every deadeye build is turbo broke n
fluid timber
how kind of everyone to rush to something to show what GGG should nerf next
tight kiln
you say OP
but minions arent gonna get nerfed
theres' literally 0 abuse of mechanics.
tight oak
there was also 0 abuse of mechanics with triggers
blissful plume
nah using triggers was already abuse
tight kiln
^
tight oak
triggers were broken because the devs made triggers do full damage for no reason
tight kiln
they dont want an easy way for any cast on shit
blissful plume
ppl shud have just not used the tools provided to them
tight kiln
like CoC in poe1 requires actual investment
tight oak
like i don't get what you mean then by abuse of mechanics
cause triggers were literally just playing the game
tight kiln
and its doing too much
tight kiln
so nerfed
tight oak
because only coc had a line reading "triggered spells deal lower damage" and it wasn't high enough
tight kiln
minions wont be touched rn given how monks and deadeye are obliterating pinncle bosses rn
minions dont delete stuff, its just consistent damage.
tight oak
i do expect ice monk to eat shit
tight kiln
nah
blissful plume
deadeye just gonna get an innate -45% ms nerf
tight oak
monk in general has probably the most overtuned starting area in the game

will you be using srs arsonist all the way?

i'll be swapping to reavers
minion cap is as high as your spirit allows

yeah im getting 0 drops lmao

if ventors are still in the game you could go for those ig
if they didn't change them too much

you need at least 100+ rarity on gear otherwise 0 drops

tight kiln
you need at least 100+ rarity on gear otherwise 0 drops

my friend already got 2 perfect jeweler

tight kiln
its not hard to get runes anyway

ye you dont really use them till maps
since you'd want to cap resists
or at least get them positive
covert frigate
somehow the game gives me tons of lightning resist gear but not the other things
i have like 50+ lightning resist
around 30+ fire resist
like 9 cold resist and 7 chaos resist
fluid timber
there is definitely something to be said about D3/D4's loot systems of making an effort to throw gear actually relevant to your build more often
covert frigate
not sure how exactly they would program the game to know what loot is relevant, but its def a welcomed feature
fluid timber
part of it is in how affixes are itemized on gear, and the other part is a loot system that goes "well you sure as hell don't need gear with +skills for a completely different class so we'll drop those items down on the loot table odds bigtime"
covert frigate
oh yeh thats a good idea
fluid timber
granted I don't expect GGG to do that ever because they are big on heavy encouragement of player trading
fluid timber
my biggest complaint now that I've gone through what is in so far of the campaign is the gear pacing is ass
covert frigate
granted I don't expect GGG to do that ever because they are big on heavy encoura...
and also cause of poe's open class design, players can mix and match a lot of stuff
yeh you dont change gear much in acts
im almost lv 40 and still using lv 20 gears cause theres nothing better
fluid timber
even with vendors in mind, the tiers of the gear don't entirely line up with the difficulty pace for some classes, and it shows when there's points that my skill gems are as leveled as can be, have maxed out the quality on nearly all the gear, thrown iron runes in my crossbow that is of the tier for a3, and I can kick Viper in the head but Forgemaster goes 'lol' at me for not being able to kill him in the 4 minute limit
also I started POE1 tonight and immediately went "ah, this is why a lot of POE1 players hate 2" because the difficulty difference between the two games right out the gate is staggering
covert frigate
yep lmao
fluid timber
by level 8 with a witch in 1 I'm roflstomping unique enemies
covert frigate
POE1 is very much an old school ARPG where you can steamroll everything right out t he gate
maybe i should go back to POE1
start a new char
fluid timber
I'm having fun with it
covert frigate
POE2's poor performance is getting to me
fluid timber
it's kinda funny because after a few seasons D4 went that route and the game is an absolute steamroll power fantasy
covert frigate
tho the right click to move is annoying
i think POE2 will eventually go down that route too tbh
fluid timber
it'll be interesting to see if they do or double down on the difficulty. Diablo 4 at release played actually somewhat similar to POE2 does currently and were doing similar things of nerfing powerful builds down hard. eventually the devs just went "eh fuck it" and completely unhinged the balance
bronze dirge
I might not touch PoE 1 ever again
Saying this as someone who played poe for almost 10 years
6-7hrs fresh leaguestart to maps etc
covert frigate
i mean think about it, top players who are expert at building can alr delete endgame pinnacle bosses, but players who arent math PHD holders struggle with them, the discrepancy between seasoned players and none seasoned players is too different, they can only go 1 or 2 ways, nerf everything players can ever achieve so everyone will find bosses equally challenging(this will be like throwing rocks at a hornet nest), or they can just let players make god builds and destroy everything at endgame like what people expects from ARPGs
fluid timber
I've got no problem with their vision with 2. If that's what they want it to stay then I say god bless. It may just be a while before I go through the campaign with more classes because some of those fights I really don't want to do 10+ times in their current state
bronze dirge
That's why the games split for a reason tbf
But yes it's super half baked in many aspects rn
bronze dirge
Then again I played in the time where where Dominus/Piety runs were a thing
fluid timber
if they do some tweaks to some of the bosses and areas and make some pacing adjustments, 2 will be absolutely solid
covert frigate
i got to the point where mobbing feels pretty similar to POE1
fairly easy and satisfying, except for the occasion elites
or ranged enemies
fluid timber
Chaos could also use some dialing down to the intensity of the curses you take because every time I looked at the choices I just groaned lol
covert frigate
ranged enemies are such a menace in this game
but bosses are still a pain in the ass
both because theyre jank and also cause they tank framerate
bronze dirge
That's why deadeyes are just playing Payphone while blasting maps
They offscreen the mobs lol

no joke, i walk around the corner to find 3 of those poison cobra in that one cave dungeon, and they instantly gibbed me from full health and ES
they have insane attack speed and projectile speed
fluid timber
also it was weird how partway into a3 despite never having mana issues with merc there was this sudden jump that happened with my skills that they started draining the hell out of me
covert frigate
also the jungle area and chimera wetlands foliage are way too dense
its hard to see enemies on those maps
i once killed an elite only to die to its purple explosion orb things cause they just camouflage into the foliage
and i couldnt see them at all
fluid timber
for me it was mostly that it was hard as hell to see the ailment areas during the chimera boss
bronze dirge
If the zones were much smaller or easier to navigate
There would be less complains about the campaign pacing
I can somewhat read the layouts now
covert frigate
for me it was mostly that it was hard as hell to see the ailment areas during th...
yeh the poison puddle is BELOW the foliage layer???
why the fuck?
i almost killed it only to die to that bullshit
im pretty sure GGG did testing for like most of act 1, but then barely any testing at all for act 2 onwards
cause most of the enemies and bosses of act 1 were pretty reasonable
with the exception of geonor spamming mist attack
fluid timber
oddly I don't have much issue with the zone sizes because I love to just explore and grind. it's just that the pacing means there isn't much option to granularly grind for better, especially if you hit a point where gear options are pretty much maxed and you're over the level of the zones, but even with a maxroll build there's a struggle to get enough damage output
covert frigate
and then act 2 forward i find the bosses spike in bullshit
fluid timber
once again it probably doesn't fit their vision, but I like that oldschool method of having options to just grind in areas to overlevel if I need that extra oomph
bronze dirge
You can reset old zones to farm though
fluid timber
but you can outscale those zones real fast causing xp gain to absolutely crawl
though the resetting does help with running the previous boss for gear since they are guaranteed 1 rare now
bronze dirge
After the loot changes I never found the need to refarm bosses for gear
On my 2nd character campaign

fluid timber
New post about upcoming changes, and believe it or not they made a couple things easier https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3642235
toxic wing
cant read post
Maps no longer have additional elemental resistance penalties inherently applied at Tier 6 and Tier 11 or higher Maps. It is now consistent across all of the Endgame.
Chaos Damage now also scales less aggressively over the Endgame.
Critical Strikes from monsters now deal 40% less bonus Damage.
Lowered the baseline monster density of Breach Encounters, primarily by reducing the frequency of the “Elite” monsters appearing.
Disabled the Volatile Crystals Modifier, we’ll revisit this in the future pending telegraphing improvements.
Purple Explosives created by the Volatile Plants Modifier on Rare Monsters now deal significantly less Damage.
The Siphons Flask Charges Modifier on Monsters now drains ten-times less Flask Charges per second. (This was unintentionally draining way too many charges)
the important stuff imo
and for the trials
Honour Damage now scales down based on distance to enemies, when in close range you’ll take 35% less Honour Damage, tapering off as you are further away from Monsters.
Fixed a bug where Damage over Time was dealing thrice as much damage to Honour as intended, and fixed a bug where Honour Resistance was only applying to two-thirds of that damage. (This was confusing for us too)
Skitter Golems no longer use basic attacks and instead now just explode.
Serpent Clans burrow and ambush attack now has improved visual telegraphing and cannot be used from as far away.
Volcanoes created by Rattlecage’s Fissure Slam now last half the duration.
gleaming palm
ah ok
toxic wing
and this stuff maybe if you freeze/use electrocute
Electrocute is now 25% harder to buildup. (But the Damage Penalty has been removed from the Support Gem).
Added a new Lightning Damage and Electrocute Cluster to the passive tree in between the Ranger and Monk sections.
It is now more difficult to chain-freeze enemies by reducing the amount of Freeze Buildup applied after a Freeze has been applied.
fluid timber
I kinda wasn’t surprised on that nerf. You could practically chain electrocute bosses
gleaming palm
ok >,<
toxic wing
atleast we'll finally be able to warp between checkpoints at that point lol
gleaming palm
XD
oh finally they also making that after death purple explosion thing less painful
that 90% of the time gets me LOL

"Lowered the baseline monster density of Breach Encounters, primarily by reducing the frequency of the “Elite” monsters appearing." no why they need to nerf the fun

lightning to cold has always been good. also 1 div is 26 exalts now
blissful plume
Oh
tight kiln
that was easy
blissful plume
Thought they went to 100 exalt per div
But what changed for prices to go to 26ex when they were only less than 10ex?
https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/s/F3nQxFOUAD lol armour is dead
fluid timber
It’s like the inverse of D4 launch where nothing but armor stat was useful for defense
tight kiln
But what changed for prices to go to 26ex when they were only less than 10ex?
because people are rerolling stats foir their chase uniques and end game items
divines will continue to go up in price
so if you're not buying anything
just change all your exalts to divs
same theory in poe1 where you change divs to mirror shards if you're not buying anything
mirror shards will always scale in price early to mid game
blissful plume
because people are rerolling stats foir their chase uniques and end game items
I meant the brotherhood ring, not the div prices
tight kiln
oh
maybe some streamer did a build
its like how surrender went from 20 ex to 100
and thief's tormnt went from 26 to 130
i finally got my damage scaling correct holy shit
blissful plume
But what new build is there
I thought the brotherhood builds were already done the first week
That's why they dropped in price to 10 ex
blissful plume
Yeah the prices dropped when the cast on nerfs happened
blissful plume
1 week into the game and 4 mirrors have dropped/appeared in the market already?
blissful plume
This isn't from reddit
tight kiln
okay my build is starting to come online

copper mortar
i come to my conclusion on the atlas, it's worse then PoE1 and LE's monolith
it has the worst parts of delve and there's more RNG then necessary on juicing maps with the towers
there's at least some determinism when finding bosses in the monolith compared to hoping to find the camps for the citadel
fluid timber
I could go on a long tangent about all my frustrations with Last Epoch, especially including monoliths
copper mortar
and the funny thing is that the monolith is still better then PoE2's atlas
tight kiln
how?
LE's monolith is the reason why i uninstalled LE in the first place
its so bad.
copper mortar
because the atlas took the worst parts of it without any of the good parts
tight kiln
like?
copper mortar
actually having determinsim on finding bosses and copying how delve does it
tight kiln
but the bosses isnt the main content
unless you want to tackle the bosses specifically
then ye ofc you cant do that since its rng
i tilted in LE farming one staff for 26 resets and couldnt even get it i just uninstalled.
just because said staff drops in this said location on this said unique node that is also rng as shit
fluid timber
same experience. needed a chestpiece for my early lategame build, ran that monolith how many times to get said chestpiece, got tired of it because the process of getting to fighting that boss each time was so boring whereas at least if I'm chasing uniques in D4 it's just "do boss a bunch of times because you likely got enough mats to spam running the boss from doing literally everything else in the game"
tight kiln
the maps itself in LE is good tho
heavy blaze
kanae prio - mtx
i think lategame in POE2 is kinda okay, chasing tower to juice your maps is kinda meh since the tower cant be juice and kinda waste your maps when u use them but 1 table buff multiple maps and maps in the area kinda cool concept for me
not that hussle to buy scarabs and shit

This is the most impressive thing to me about this game as odd as it sounds. Having an online service when you’re playing solo be able to freeze states like this for you as it’s done it for me as well a few times, and the fact you can pause makes me mad that other persistent online games can’t be bothered to support this too.

so far I haven't picked any passive skill tree items that would lock me into frost spec, because I still wanna see how fire and lightning skills feel before I make that choice

is it for 5th slot or 6th slot?
tight kiln
skills from ascendancies will give you the 6th slot automatically at level 90
so its free
blissful plume
Wtf that's op
low ermine
oh
well I was already using 5th slot early, with corrupting the gem (if lucky). I tried thrice and got fifth slot in all of those tries
tight kiln
oh
sorry
level 90 free 5th socket

gleaming palm
how much now?
toxic wing
a lot
to the point people are listing divs now to scam ppl out of them
or trying the old exchange scam
btw did anyone try this yet?
does it actually work vs the hour glass phase
heavy blaze
i get hooked by death body
and debuff not remove after there died
wait it is bc of this one ?
stark knot
so regarding defensive stats... I saw a post in here earlier linking to a reddit thread saying going armor-only is bad? My ranger has been running pretty much pure evasion, and I was going to stick with energy shield for my sorc. Besides life pool and resistances, is there any better strat for damage mitigation?
tryin to figure out how to keep my warrior alive mainly, have been struggling a lot since getting to act 2 and outleveling my gear
toxic wing
no clue about armor sadly
toxic wing
yeah they didn't really touch the old uniques much it seems
blissful plume
How to keep warrior alive? Don't play warrior
tight kiln
intimidate carried me early game
tight kiln
so regarding defensive stats... I saw a post in here earlier linking to a reddit...
evasion is probably the strongest rn with acrobatics
i have a 72% chacne to dodge EVERYTHING btw
stark knot
yeah my ranger has rarely been like properly in danger, my few deaths have been to learning boss fights basically
and I've been evasion-maxing with her
tight kiln
all you need is wind dance and ghost dance
take this node
and this
i got cornered into ritual with a tornado on me and i didnt die
my tree rn
gleaming palm
God damn gigi is addicted to poe2
LMAO and why is her brightness so damn high LOL
tight kiln
i have no clue
stark knot
I think someone in chat genuinely mentioned it being dark (cause y'know early act 1 is dark and muddy) so she cranked the brightness up to max and claims it's still not bright enough 
and now it's just a running gag for her to keep it cranked up
spiral yew
spark sorc huh

Should i just combine all low tier waystones to get the highest tier ones
And then only use those to farm?
Just unlocked endgame btw
Also i only need to use Transmute and Aug orbs on those maps, right?
When will we need to use orb of alchemy on the map
tight kiln
nice
gleaming palm
wow
tight kiln
Should i just combine all low tier waystones to get the highest tier ones
no just farm normally
follow the quest guide. you can do higher to clear the quest
you cant gauge where you stand if you do content that just one shots you without proper gear
tight kiln
yes
thats how i hit t15 that fast
i jsut do everything that drops
i only started combining when i need to do, like, t10 but have like 7 t9s lying around
combine 1, do 1, see if more t10 drops before combining more lower tier ones
also
do make your maps at least magic
if you have regal make it rare
dont corrupt it tho. if you dont have enough defenses and die theres no point
you cant die in a map
or else the entire map closes
at my stage i just alchemy everything since i can do all modifiers
and make everything rare
hot kraken
Damn it's stricter than the part 1
tight kiln
welcome to the start of poe
hot kraken
Death = map over
gleaming palm
yea i do maps at least at magic
hot kraken
Also just clear all mobs before exiting?
Altho the quest only needs to clear certain rare mobs to count as finished
tight kiln
no
you complete the map objective by killing all the rares in the map
once the map has 200 mobs or lower, a skull icon wioll show on the minimap, showing where the remaining rares are
jsut clear them and go
hot kraken
Oh so the objective makes u clear all rare ones
tight kiln
rares will be your main source of drops
hot kraken
No need to clear the entire mobs to get exp?
hot kraken
Atlas is unlocked after i finish these endgame quests?
hot kraken
Shield gained from ur mana

Is there benefit for unlocking nodes on the map device?
Or i just stay at a node and spam waystones in it
tight kiln
gleaming palm
wtf?
guess i can sell 1 and keep the other for myself in the case i wanna build 1 to try LOL
tight kiln
Is there benefit for unlocking nodes on the map device?
Or i just stay at a node...
yes general objective is to go for lost towers, use a t1 on lost towers, go in tower, activate tower, exit tower, put a tablet in there to juice an aoe area for the restr of the nodes
blissful plume
so no point using high tiers for towers?
blissful plume
can you redo maps in the area of the towers?
blissful plume
so towers can just be near 1-2 maps only and that's it?
tight kiln
huh?
thats why you keep pathing to the next tower
i have 4 towers nearby
theres literally 3 towers side by side here
blissful plume
so towers affect only maps linked to them or is the range greater?
tight kiln
its bugged but you should be able to see an orange AOE
you can see the aoe in the default endgame hideout
blissful plume
oh
hot kraken
When will hideout be unlocked
tight kiln
the end game area where you are at
is a shared hideout
along the atlas
you will have areas that shows this
you can put lowest tier waystone, clear that and get a hideout of your own
tight kiln
poe1 is also like that
blissful plume
poe1 gave us hideouts in campaigns
are there hideouts in maps?
i only know of the 400 shaper kills
hot kraken
How many quests are there for mapping
What's the max tier of map that the quest requires u to clear?
tight kiln
yes there are hideoiut in maps
tight kiln
What's the max tier of map that the quest requires u to clear?
t15s

There's a few hideouts in poe1 that you gotta grind maps for
Like Sanguine, arboreal etc

Any summoner here?
Should i invest in the skill node which buffs 40% dmg when there're 2 different types of offering effect on battlefield?
blissful plume
Does it say minion dmg
bronze dirge
Does minion have tooltip dps?
I know spells and attacks you can check before point allocation
Either hold alt or shift
But since that is conditional
Lemme check the node
Should work yea

which defensive layers are you going for
MoM EB or grim feast
holy shit 6 towers of juice incoming
tight kiln
Ye
These people gave actually no idea how to price items
They are thinking 1 div is lesser than 1 ex because of the market
Im changing my exalts to divs whenever possible now
toxic wing
Kinda makes gearing annoying
Just reached maps yesterday
I did get Lucky and got 2 divs from the Beatle
tight kiln
wow
thats 120ex to start yuo off with
yeah pconc is too good.
map bosses arent even a thing anymore for this build
i need to test on a pinnacle boss
low ermine
Kinda makes gearing annoying
Just reached maps yesterday <:BettelFML:10720544089...
yeah, it wasnt like this 3-4 days ago I swear. I have to upgrade my gear for just a bit and the cheapest is 1 divine. Heck, some of my gear that I purchased for 1-2 exalt 4 days ago now is 1-2 divine as well
tight kiln
nah
you guys arent seeing the proper value
choose exalts here
divines should only be gears that im using
blissful plume
Isn't it ass to use
toxic wing
Isn't it ass to use
Atm yes
everyone is listing stuff for divines so if you narrow it down you just get divines
Or put the sum to anything above 200

Fund everyone's build
tight kiln
when the rich the rich
im probably swapping to shattering conc when my base gear is ready
for the record, shattering conc has a base crit of 11% and cold exposure when hit, so you dont need frost bomb
realistically you only need 1 curse
but you need spirit on gear for wind dance, ghost dance, alchemist boon and herald of ice
i think shattering conc is more OP than poison conc and nobody has figured it out yet
blissful plume
Yeah till after new years
tight kiln
ye map bosses are just another rare now lmao
tight kiln
???
blissful plume
Rmt
stark knot
has anyone checked to see if it's worth grouping up in parties to improve drops? IDK if POE works the same way but in D2 they would scale up enemy strength but you'd also get more exp and drops
fluid timber
The game says it does, how effective it actually is not sure
toxic wing
man people really out here asking 1 divine for basic gloves
and if you point out how much divines are compared to exalts they pretend be an ostrich and keep their head in the sand
toxic wing
More like poor ppl
Those items are gonna stay in that tab forever and just rot there
Well nothing New ig since poe1 kinda has it as well
tight kiln
hold up
tight kiln
check price on market lol

Btw which gear part has minion mods on it?
So far i know the weap like sceptre and the helmet

Theres a lot of clickbait vidros
you saw ruotoo play pcoc soon price going to spike for pcoc
tight kiln
No worries i already got all the pieces
Except for jewel
Vine arrow is also broken as shit now with pconc
I only need 4 buttons
tight kiln
No
Vine arrow was broken by jungroan because of level scaling
Vine arrow is broken now because you now have a good source of poison to enable it
tight kiln
ye map bosses are just another rare now lmao
You can see me dropping vine arrow on the boss
Quality of vine arrow makes its dps do another 110% of poison damage
On top of the 2x it has on the base gem
Its so good for clearing breach too
blissful plume
Its so good for clearing breach too
isn't breach worst now with less rares?
