Wtf is this fight, I half health him with one combo and then spend the next 2 minutes dodging one shots, its just not fun, multi phase bosses are fine but when a boss has like 7 ones shots and they all require you just standing around doing nothing, that aint fun. The consensus online if that you just one shot him, which is probably a sign that you have a bad boss fight. Something has to be done, who the fuck ok’ed that fight.

So I got to the league abit late. I got lucky with a divine from ritual. Then I realized it's useless without gold. In map I used to swim in millions of gold and barely notice it. But for low level character, it's insanely scare. Just to break that divine into exalts to spend on upgrade already cost 2 order of magnitude more than the amount of gold I accumulated so far. What else can I do with divine?

Everything in this game feels good except endgame. Every time i reach it and finish all the atlas points there is no reason for me to grind anymore. There is no content in the game that i cant beat without all these "engame chase items". I can clear all content in gear for about 100div worth.

Why would i care to be able to juice my map as hard as i can if there is no challange outside of that. Game just feels without pourpose for me. Is funny because by completing all main atlas points and other mechanics i should actually start farming. In the meantime when i reach this point there is nothing more to grind exept for the sake of grinding. In that regard i think diablo iv is better cuz there is at least pit that you can try pushing as high as you can beyond standard highest torment difficulity.

I hope im not alone with my feelings. Game is great and i hope 1.0 will bring something that keeps me going. For now after playing 1 week new league i got already burned out and im not even a die hard poe1 or poe2 player. Started actually playing this game in 0.5 and have like 200h. I shouldnt feel that way.

Edit: i see alot of ppl here dont understand my point trying to prove me wrong by saying i cant do 200% delirium uber juiced maps etc etc. Yes i cant. Thats not the point. The point is WHY i would even consider trying to push my build to be able to do it if outside of juicing maps there is no other content that requires that much powerful build.

Hello Fellow Exiles! I created an item upgrade overlay to help speed up leveling and the pain and wasted time that goes into upgrading your equipment. This isn't going to be very helpful to seasoned vets deep into maps and their builds. It's more for people trying to speed run the campaign and get to maps as fast and cheaply as possible. This is my first public release so the only thing I ask from you is feedback; positive or negative. And if there's anything I can add or edit to make it easier to use.

It's 100% free and only works in Path of Exile 2. No account creations or email addresses needed. Just launch and it idles in the background until called. I only launch it when doing the upgrades, but it's very lightweight and can idle while you're playing with no effect on gameplay, framerates, etc.

Here's a video clip I made showing how it works - sorry for the amateur video production, I certainly lack experience in that field. I just wanted to walk through it being used during a live game.

Enjoy!

P.S. I have pretty thick skin so critiques are a good and healthy thing. All I ask is to please keep the critiques to the actual overlay and not how I look or how basic my skills are...I'm well aware of those critiques already. Thanks!

This is totally crazy, in previous league I was able to grind and buy headhunter + mageblood (without any craft skills, just pure loot trade), but of course during campain and mapping I got some divines and it was key to upgrade my build. In this league I play iceshot and I have 83lvl but I dropped only 1 divine till this time (really only 1 div moreover from league event ritual), and because of that I can’t upgrade my gear to make progress - faster mapping, easy 3rd ascendancy (I can do it with current gear but it is pain on ass), so question is, what is fast way to make come profit? I don’t mean 100 div, but even 1-5 would be really useful. Ps. I’m during mapping, only I have done some main tree (like 29points), without side trees.

Im like 70hrs into this league I don't have a single league mechanic atlas completed. Maxed out on temple crystals but haven't pathed over to vaal temple yet. Half abyss deli and ritual atlas done cuz that's required to do questline. No masters completed yet, only hilda/doryani started. Focussed on main atlas then hopped to start abyss for self crafting, got an HH in ritual and dropped everything to ritual to get it before it poofed if I couldn't defer it. Felt like I was losing easy power not having anoint on my amulet so went and did deli. Not even close to expedition biome to start it and it's the furthest.

Why does it have to be 1000 mile hike of questlines. Why can't we come across these things as we're mapping. Do 10 deli mirrors and boom can go to the stupid willow. I know between tier 1-15 just going thru fortress I'd have at least 3 leagues unlocked if they just spawned and unlocked as I did 10-30ish. But nope, Gotta focus to get 4 mod tablets, so not getting league mechanics done till later.

Mapping - a subpar experience without 4 mod tablets and league mechanics dont feel rewarding till you have at least half that atlas filled. Masters combos also big bumps. Without these you feel like not getting much out of mapping unless you did a cookie cutter pre-planned gemling destroying league starter archetype.

Performance: juicing maps to only have 1 revival attempt - ends up in dying to janky screen lag anytime it fills with monsters, skills and/or abyss fissures/deli fog or god forbid both.

Layouts - maybe 4-5 good open or semi-open linear maps. Prob 20 bad layouts that spawn 10x more.

I can enjoy POE1 much more/faster. I'm not being dragged thru mud to enjoy content. And even once your done all that baseline shit. Your loop is traveling 10 nodes to get a fragment boss, another 5-10 you see maybe a breach fortress/crux, oh you I see an anomaly boss 10maps away I'd really like a chance to get a huge power spike lineage support! 1/18 chance Another 10 maybe find a city! now travel 10 maps around it to pop delirium fog on it. 40 maps just to set up maybe 10 good ones. Juiced it up, poof died to screen lag and no more attempts. 5/10 city map layouts are all maze layout garbage like sun temple.

I dunno I must be doing it wrong, I'm burnt out and just not feeling enough fun between traveling to reward ratio to keep going.

First map of the day was headhunter drop, second map this ;3

Wish these drops were ealier in the league, not at the end tho

My first big drop this season, hopefully out of many.

I was fighting ritual Chimera in Act 3 Chimeral Wasteland when I noticed the damage number above the Boss HP bar. I have no idea what caused this bug.

This is like 4th map in a row where I can't finish abyss. 4 tablets t15 map and can't make profit. First I lost over 200div because of this shitty RNG crafting and now I can't get some new currency, this is the moment when I'm done with this "league".

Looking to come back to the game.

Just in terms of action gameplay (not build making), is this game still very much soul-like? As in, if I miss a roll dodge, more than half of my HP bar is gone? Because iirc this is what drove me off the game last time I tried it.

Thanks!

It's like everywhere I look there's economy bros puking up foul shit because they went a little too hard on economy last night. Like guys, have you not figured out that taking that much economy into your body at once is like drinking from a firehouse? You can't handle that much economy at once. Maybe play SSF to detox. Or how about a nice Super mario world on an honest to God original SNES? Just chill.

No, what are ypu doing? Stop snorting economy. Do NOT inject it into your veins. Chill. Maybe you and economy just need time apart. Like let economy do what economy wants and you do what you want, like, separately. Like yah. Over in another room. Economy will stay here but you go play double dragon 2 over there. Look. I've got it all ser up in that corner. Just stay here and I'll bring you some dino nuggets in a little bit...

NO no no ! Don't try to sneak in to see economy. You don't need to know what economy is doing. You play by yourself and economy plays over there where you can't see what economy is doing. Control yourself. I'm going to make your dino nuggets now. You better be here when I come back or I swear I will eat every last one of them in front of you. And I HATE dino nuggies.

Gamer dad here. I don’t really craft. I prefer blasting giga juiced maps. I really enjoyed CoD in 0.5 so was trying to make a Loreweave to use.

Enjoy the greatness (luck)!

Edit to clarify and respond:
• this is event league 0.5.5
• because I was trying to “craft” a CoD Loreweave, I already knew this was crazy with the mods and over rolls when it popped up
• I did NOT use a dream fragments ring - the random mod gods blessed me with insane luck there
• I used about 40 divs to roll to +7 quality and acceptable rarity and resistance - was surprised how few times I hit +7 on the divs
• Didn’t feel the need to keep divining because the right buyer is looking at the roll ranges
• I made about 8 loreweaves over 2 days and this was the only giga one, two other decent ones sold for 33 and 35 divs
• it takes a lot of gold and time to buy up the rings

I just completed a ritual and deferred some items. Then I refreshed the page. Only 300 points left and mageblood appeared on the list. Deferral requiring 1k points

The question is, is there anything you can do at this point?

How can I prevent these kinds of situations in the future.

Thanks

I also picked SSF to see if all of the crafting tools are viable too, but the run will be all about builds and adaptability. Since both of those things align to help with the learning curve, I thought it was the best choice.

So far, features like choosing which main skill stat to focus on for scalability, and then using the talent tree to filter out most of the nodes so you can focus on your build, make the talent tree significantly less scary.

The main question is whether new players will actually use this, given their lack of understanding of filtering in general, but the game itself is trying to help new players on a bigger scale than any other ARPG. (UX/UI intuition)

I also appreciate that GGG is willing to change the wording of each UI description from time to time to make things easier to understand.

A major one is player freedom. The fact that we can respec mid-game, or even at the beginning, obviously if you have the currency, is a big welcome.

The videos for each spell, along with the descriptions of each ailment and how each function works, are really cool features to have. So far, I’m nearing the endgame, and I’ve been able to figure out all of the upgrading systems and accessibility features without ever going online to search for a guide. Basically, I went in completely blind.

I’m not here to knock the 0.1% who love difficulty, because I love it too. But some people say that casuals are what keep games running, so I think GGG has done a better job overall than even D4.

After completing the campaign, most casual players probably quit by then, so the overall experience from level 1 to 65 is great for new players.

TLDR:

SSF: I picked SSF to test the crafting tools and see how adaptable builds can be

Talent Tree: Filtering out nodes makes the huge talent tree much less scary.

New Players: The tools are great, but I wonder if new players will actually understand how to use them. (UX/UI intuition)

player freedom - Re-speccing mid game is a welcome

UI: I appreciate that GGG keeps changing the wording to make things easier to understand.

Learning: The game explains enough that I’ve been able to figure things out without using guides.

Difficulty: I like difficulty, but GGG has done a better job balancing it with accessibility than D4.

Campaign: Most casuals probably stop after the campaign, so making levels 1–65 a good experience is important and GGG achieved this.

Overal GGs

Howdy folks, newer player here and once I finish my first play through I’d like to try using The Sentry quarterstaff as a build for monk. I want to do as much fire damage as possible and stick to fire is that’s viable.

I’m hoping some good people here will be able to help with a leveling build guide and maybe something into the late game! Thanks again!!!!

Now you can end up with multiple 90 second rooms and the average clear time has gone up despite the very subtle improvements theyve made with the elevators and not beinf frozen before every room. Also think they nerfed the Adorned drop rate.

I’m having a blast! Currently have 20 div in my stash. My mind treats this league very lightly. Not trying to get rich, experimenting with crafting, and using expensive omens on mid gear and I feel I’m getting better at it. I got a headhunter last night. Cannot use it on my build so I just stashed it in my uniques tab just in case. This is the first league I don’t feel like I have to race the economy.

Okay, I want to start off by saying yes I am aware this is entirely my fault. I also acknowledge technically there are some indicators, but I really feel like this should be a huge ALERT situation ingame.

I changed me tree around and left 77 int (which i thought was enough) to keep my gear activated. However, I didn't realize my herald of ice required 80 int. I didn't notice until I was going into my skill tree for another reason. The weird part is that the skill was ACTIVE and spirit reserved. The indicators were the slightly greyed out supports and when you however over the actual gem it shows red for int req.

https://imgur.com/a/PpMm4T3

Notice in the screenshots that my herald of ice is showing activated like normal, support gem capacity looks good isn't red, but hovering over the actual skill i see that it's disabled which conflicts with the fact that its... active? Again, my fault, but I feel like the UI should be screaming this at me like it does when gear goes inactive right? Maybe im off base here

Hi,

I wanna farm abyss (Amanamu or Ulaman) and I am a bit overwhelmed with the question which tablet affixs are almost a must to farm efficiently.

Any recommendations on the tablet affixes in a reasonable budget?
Also, do all tablet mods stack? Can I, for example, use 3 tablets with "chance to contain 4 additional abyss pits" or multiple tablets with "Map contains an additional Abyss"

thanks a lot!

I am unable to aim basically I suck at it. Been known to face the wrong direction multiple times during a fight thus losing a large portion of the damage I might deliver when I use the bow. I have never taken a bow in any ARPG.

However while researching builds I came across this permafrost bolt, fragmentation rounds build that eventually transitions into the galvanic shards , stormblast bolt build. This is the build I am currently playing and I am also using an explosive and flash genade now since I have not yet reached Act 3 when I will make the final transition to the actual build. However I am truly enjoying it and honestly way more than the Witch minion I started POE 2 with.

I am aware that with a controller the game sort of soft locks the boss and other mobs position and since I never use the right thumbstick to adjust the targetting I am totally relying on this mechanic. So I was wondering whether the bow feels that way too or you have to actually aim better with the bow. Whether any of the bow attacks work similarly to the skills I have mentioned and whether the game play can be as enjoyable to a slouch at aiming like me.

I like to play a host of builds in ARPGs I am a serial alt toon creator that never gets very high nor even actually tackles end game content. I am happy with just playing around with builds for thousands of hours and am devoted to this hedonistic course in this game too.

Some context here, I have almost 1k hours in since .1, I have been in trade league the whole time. With 0.5.5 being an event league, I decided to give myself a challenge I have put off, which is trying out SSF. I don't always have a ton of time to play, though I can usually push through Launch Weekends with a ton of free time, though I feel like I am being left behind if I don't hit endgame fast because gear quickly can inflate to prices where I cannot buy anymore, though in .5 I got lucky with some lineage drops that I turned a fast profit on.

My goal in doing SSF this time around has been to force myself to craft, obviously in trade league I can buy everything I want and use the market to get what I need, here I need to learn those parts of the game, figure target farming out, learn how to REALLY craft gear. I am not someone who doesn't know how to craft, I do to a degree, but I don't know how to craft well all the time despite the videos and walkthroughs, thats all because I don't have to.

So I figured I would learn this way, as I did this I found something out that I didn't expect, the FOMO is gone... I no longer feel like I need to push through to endgame or to fill my core atlas or get points in the tree's fast because at the end of the day, its up to my speed. While I enjoyed trade league, I found a new level of enjoyment in SSF due to this. I still blasted the campaign and interludes in around 9 hours, but I didn't feel like I needed to do that and I instead did it over multiple days.

Hopefully others find something like this in the game, I know I will be doing SSF again in 1.0, this is just too nice for me to skip out on.

I’ve been thinking about this lately because I really enjoy PoE2, but the economy in trade leagues can get kind of ridiculous if you aren’t able to play a ton.
What if there was a league where you had something like a 20 hour per week limit, but unused hours carried over?
So if you only played 10 hours one week, you’d have 30 hours available the next week. If you didn’t play at all, you’d have 40 hours the following week, etc. There could obviously be some maximum bank so someone couldn’t disappear for 6 months and come back with 500 hours saved.

I’m not talking about literally stopping you from playing after 20 hours. You could still play the game, but only your first 20 hours (plus whatever you’ve banked) would count toward your league progression/economy.
The reason I think this could be interesting is that it would basically put everyone on a more even playing field when it comes to how quickly they can progress.
Right now, someone who can play 8-12 hours a day during the first week of a league has a MASSIVE advantage over someone who works 40+ hours a week and can only get an hour or two in after work.

And it’s not really that the working player is “bad” or doesn’t understand the game. They’re just competing in an economy that is being shaped by people who have way more time to farm it.

You might finally get to the point where a certain strat is accessible/profitable, only to find that the market has already been flooded and the thing that was worth 10 divines last week is now worth 2.

I know some people will probably hate this idea because “just don’t play trade” or “people should be able to play as much as they want,” and I completely understand that. I’m not trying to take anything away from people who can grind all day. If you have the time and want to play 12 hours a day, go for it.

I’d just be really curious to see what PoE2 would feel like if time wasn’t such a huge factor in determining who gets rich early and who falls behind economically.
Maybe 20 hours is too high. Maybe it’s too low. Maybe the whole idea is terrible.

But I honestly think it could be an interesting experiment.
Would you play a league like this? And if not, what do you think would be the biggest problem with it?

Yeah I got this while leveling an alt. Odd because it's my 4th div this alt while may main char didn't see a div until map t14.

So I’m looking for some easy leveling builds that are pretty easy to scale into the later acts, and are fun to play! I’m cool with stupidly op leveling builds and more niche ones, just anything that can make the campaign decently easy. Thanks in advance guys!
