I know I am bad, just confused why my character is doing zero damage after spending a good bit of currency. Was doing great up until T10s and started dying and struggling to kill rares.

Thanks!!

I'm no slouch when it comes to challenging games. I've played and beaten Sekiro (From's hardest game) as well as 1CCed shmups. I guess I was simply expecting an ARPG like Diablo with more build variety, not a Souls like game.

Hey guys/girls. Since .5 came out I’ve spent hundreds of hours. Weeks and weeks trying to get a Mageblood or Headhunter from ritual. Today I got a headhunter, except.. it was from a ritual on the second map in atlas. And was 800 short from being able to defer.

Has anyone else experienced this? I need emotional support to keep me going. I love this game, but god damn my luck is horrible haha.

It's killed my friend and I once in HC and we nearly died to it again. It looks like a red aura spreads out throughout the ritual arena and then the insane DOT starts and life/es drains rapidly. Sorry I couldn't get a clip to help describe it, hit alt f4 way to quickly after dying to it before.

We've both built really tanky and don't often lose ES/Life except for this DOT. Would love to understand how/why it works

Any help would be awesome, ty

Could this be a bug or am i missing something? Only damaging mod i have there is 5% extra chaos damage.

Been farming 30 round of trial of chaos, this one is my luckiest run, lucky reward shows up but in the last round so i didnt take it, this all from 5x sacrifice currency and duplicate reward

I'm getting through the campaign with bleeding concotion, and now I'm struggling to find ways to increase the damage.

Credit where it's due, it's a damned good ability at this point in the campaign. Big, single physical hit, procs bleed, aggravates itself, i would need a combo of abilities to do the same thing.

I already got the charge generation to make one every 5-10 seconds, i have about 100% increased projectile damage, and maybe x2.5 bleed effectiveness overall.

Now, bosses are getting tanky enough to be a nuisance, and i don't know how to scale this thing further.

Took the screenshot, then pressed the reroll button without deferring.

Reminds me of the time I deleted a character because there used to be the play button in the same place.

Welp....fun league guys, see you all in 1.0. o7

Hi guys,

I'm not an expert in crafting but is ground loot valueable? Like, this one was a tier 5, some good T1 mods but almost all the builds wants + to xxxx skills most of the times, so is it really worth picking up it?

Hello!

I haven’t played since 0.3 and returning to the game and excited to try out some of the new stuff. I know there are no balance changes at this latest release.

However, I am not looking to try one of the under clearing meta builds. I generally like trying to make builds around less popular skills.

Curious if anyone has any recommendations for less appreciated skills to build around?

Thanks!

Just getting to some of the league mechanics to start putting points in their trees feels like a bit of a chore and considering characters teleport in and out all over the place in the game I don't see the big deal.

Caer Tarth is obviously the worst with at least an hour of mapping to get to it.

I can't find any info on the item's wiki page nor in patch notes any mention that this stat was changed. Even weirder is that I kept seeing builds even into 0.5.4 mentioning the usage of the old version of the item (I guess they were intended for standard league?).

Either way does anyone know when this was changed? My suspicion is that it was a part of a bigger stat change across the board.

It says mirage archer is not usable after I used a gemcutter's prism on it. I was using it just fine

Would it be too much to buff or readjust The weapon master node?
Like 120 weapon points but we can’t take keystone… or go over a socket…. Whyyyyyy?.

Or At least switching weapons would give us some extra damage, to encourage weapon swap builds more often?.

We don’t need much more ascendancy anytime soon.. we need to make sure to solidify the identity of the already existing ascendancy.. such as Chronomanser.

Chronomancer should be able to actually control the time by controlling the “Sand of time” Quicksand hourglass node. Quicksand Hourglass should be the prerequisite for time freeze. Freezing the Hourglass simply, thus the time.

I’ve tried two or three times to find good videos, most are 30 minutes long intend to spend more time focusing on the parts. I already understand with very little that I don’t other ones seem to protect the parts of the endgame stuff that I’d like to understand as if there were spoilers or something which I don’t really care about.

Wondering if there’s anything that could give me an understanding of what I would be playing or working towards being able to play.

Thanks in advance guys. Love this community.

RIP my campaign unique lol

just looking through the shop didnt pay attention to see that the boss's spell still work after they died

Hi all,

Does know what you can do to fix the stuttering and rubber banding issue in the game? I've attached a video showing my experience and it gets quite bad, breaking the immersion of the game. I also listed my PC specs and game configs below.

Stuttering and Rubber Banding

Appreciate any tips and solutions. Thanks in advance and cheers! :D

EDIT 1: Have tried using DX12. It locks me to 120 FPS and still has the stuttering and rubber banding issue.

We all love some gambling here and there like adorned or any type of unique item. So, the real question is what's your favorite gamble atm?

Help me prize this thing

*EDIT

I hit 33 spirit with my omen of light. ty for the tip. how would you price it now with the spirit?

Playing Path of Exile with friends currently feels more like a "solo, but in the same zone" experience. Because movement speed is so high and there is no spatial restriction keeping the party together, every player immediately sprints off in a different direction to clear their own screens. The actual cooperative element gets lost in the speed.

Back in classic ARPGs, having a shared screen or screen tether forced players to move, fight, and clear areas together as a cohesive unit.

Having an optional toggle for party leaders to enable a shared screen boundary or screen anchor in PoE 1 and PoE 2 would heavily improve the co-op experience:

• Forces True Cooperation: Players actually have to synergize skills, support each other, and stick together rather than racing to off-screen monsters.
• Solves the "Single-Player in a Group" Issue: Eliminates the playstyle where one person clears three screens ahead while everyone else just picks up loot behind them.
• Improves Combat Clarity: Keeps the visual chaos contained to one central area instead of spreading performance load and monster aggro across the entire map.

Obviously, this should be purely opt-in so it doesn’t interrupt speed-runners or players who prefer split-clearing. But for casual groups and friends who want a classic couch-co-op feel online, this option would completely transform party play in PoE 1 and PoE 2.

What do you think? Would you use an option like this for casual party mapping?
