If you're just doing the campaign, anything with spells is imo a lot easier since you just get +spell level wand/staff and then you're good to go. ED/Contagion, Plants, minion shit and such. Merc Grenades is also pretty easy even without a great weapon. Twister is very good but it's a lot of...

I don't really use normal summons(besides them standing there for Muster bonus) so I went with a no spirit amulet, cost me 2div and not planning on upgrading it cause damage is already way more than enough and I could get more from shit like Time Lost jewel than trying to squeeze spectres. I...

Also I have Archon stuff, but well it's for Archon of Undeath not the elemental shit. The nodes are quite good as long as you use Dominion annoint for "perma" Archon. And presumably being elemental specific nodes, they're going to be stronger than other more generic nodes, so they'll likely be...

No it does convert all the resists, in separate lines. You can easily find examples if you search the trade site for very high resist items. Ingame I believe they're displayed as separate lines but on trade they're combined, but you can see that's 3 suffixes into one roll. That means you can...

Sucks the sale is only 30% when their highest sale was 40% a few months ago though.

They specifically mentionned changing this one to Vruun+rares, probably end of the week/early next week, but yeah some nodes are annoying especially without being able to respec them.

I've stopped doing Rituals entirely until I eventually level it up if I ever do, it's entirely fucking pointless on non juiced maps without the tree stuff speced. I still do the rest as I run by but Rituals just feel so poorly designed, here's all the shit you can't buy and some shit you can buy...

Did my 4th ascendancy, Sekhemas 4 difficulty was very overblown. Granted I'm playing a strong build and not melee mace(which would be 100% dogshit and I think you'd just go to Chaos instead) but I fucked up a bunch of stuff cause I wasn't too sure how boons/afflictions worked(turns out getting...

That's another thing they insist on not doing even though it makes no sense, skill gem vendor. Sure you can trade for some skill gems but it's clunky as fuck, and relying on drops is super RNG obviously, so you kinda need to setup your whole plan from the start and you have little leeway to...

Large part of the issue is the discrepency between builds. Personally I felt fine as soon as I hit 14, which granted is pretty late in act 1(if you're a speedrunner it's literally on the last boss, for me it was a little bit before). At that point I got Ember Fusillade, and unique mobs and...

Only the first one has additional shit, after that the new league mechanic has been great, it's quick and easy to use, you can preview the rewards so you can just fuck off if you don't like it, it gives bonus rewards like the vaal shit last league on top of its own guaranteed rewards(and you can...

Legacy of Quicksilver does sound pretty appealing. Still need to see how the actual unique works though, could end up being kinda shit, or like only good if you roll x and y kind of deal. Like the gamble belts they have atm in PoE1 with shrines.

Gemling quality spreadsheet And yeah Archon of Undeath and Puppet Master nodes are a must have for basically any minion build and especially Varashta.

And also PoB is updated. No datamining yet though on poedb as far as I can see, just the already released patch info.

PoEDB says there's no index files so they can't datamine until launch. Sucks cause I wanted to see the list of gemling legionaire alt quality as well as Kalguraan gems and what the new command minion nodes do(Puppet Master buff and Archon of Undeath) but well. Checked my stash tabs but it's...

Man I hate how they split the notes between base game and expansion, shit's so confusing instead of having everything in one spot(they could put a colored dot near expansion only stuff or whatever). Lots of mythic nerfs. Which I think is good, Heir of Perdition being BiS on almost every build...

Oh wait right I'm retarded forgot you could reroll unique power. So I guess it's mostly for charms, that's good then.

They said you get more xp at higher torments(7+) so might actually be "good enough" if it's significant enough. You can easily jump to high torment on an alt, and if you can progress several times faster the early levels will go really quickly. Still sucks if you need 6-7points for a strategy...

July 23rd, release date trailer:

Minion damage wasn't really the issue anyway, although more damage is always good. The current main issue with minion builds is still the same, the AI/movement issues. Minions pathing, hitboxes and their speed when you're trying to move around quickly through a map is the main problem. In...

Wyvern is the way to go early, both Wolf and Bear are actually pretty shit early on too.

If you use Archmage, the costs go crazy. However if you don't use Archmage, there's very few ways you can scale the damage efficiently because Cast on Crit doesn't work, nor do infusions(which also make the majority of spells useless for totems). The thing is the no cost also removed the...

Challenges and rewards. The challenges as expected look pretty easy, I'd expect anyone putting 30-50hours into endgame will be able to get them all easily, and most looks like you'll be able to buy carries for so could be done even faster if needed. Also confirmation you can complete the atlas...

Build guide is easy to "emulate" by just having your phone or a tablet or a 2nd screen or whatever too, price checking is a lot more annoying without typing unless you're on PC

Considering the small amount of sockets, it's going to be hard to find the best in every slot with all this new stuff. Well probably the unique rune but this shit 100% feels like it's gonna be worth 30+divines each, no way they made it easy to find, so that's going to be for the super endgame...

Tree released early, poe2db tree has the changes already integrated: https://poe2db.tw/us/passive-skill-tree/ Companion stuff seems pretty good but nothing that fixes pathing issues to get Lord of the Wilds/Giant's Blood or an equivalent. Mostly you can get companion deal additional dmg as...

New free shit for watching streams, waypoint skin(didn't know that was a thing) for week 1(watch 3hours), a crown with a bunch of variation for week 2 and a pet if you buy a sub.

The new alloys also work, and it's future-proofing for more currency later on.

Website down for maintenance for a bit, they're releasing item filter info and adding the skill tree on the website for PoE2. Unless they magically unfucked their terrible website architecture though, it'll still only show the current 0.4 tree until the patch.

Perfect Essences actually are different, they replace a mod by the one on the essence on a rare. Lesser-Greater Essences are like regals with deterministic stuff. I haven't looked into crafting but the idea is like roll a magic item with a wanted prefix and shitty suffix for example, then use a...

It's unclear, until they show the actual item, which they haven't yet I think. Technically it is a guaranteed outcome, but it's also only changing one resist for another resist, not allowing you to get more resist, or changing the amount of affixes or anything crazy, so they might actually be...

Well they did just nerf crafting A LOT in the updated patch notes, they're restricting essences and the new essence like crafting they're adding to one per item(potentially affects other currency, the description of the change is vague, says you can only have one deterministic craft that adds a...

Servers going to be hammered but the cosmetics are nice.

Sir this isn't Path of Pedophile

In PoE1, getting all the cosmetics is usually pretty easy, although a few of the late challenges are usually either time consuming or will need you to spend a bunch of currency. Good as a "I'm done with the league, let's just liquidate everything in my stash to get the last rewards" things, but...

They had already talked about the half league balancing changes, it's the main reason they said this would be the last major patch before 1.0(which is tentatively planned for december so in 6+months) although the confirmation of additional smaller leagues is new. Not sure if they'll turn the...

For gloves it's basically mod a > mod b conversion so it's not so bad BUT uniques are all handcrafted, which means making 2 versions of every single unique gloves, which is pretty fucking stupid. Another stupid one is the Gemling alternate quality, where every single skill has an alternate...

Spectres are generally better than skeletons, but yeah skeletons aren't horribly bad or anything, and it's also quite good for leveling since it instantly deletes bosses with sniper poison cloud detonating with firewall/fusillade so the issue is mostly the normal leveling(but the bug fix on...

The real irony is Chayula might be the best summoner ascendancy in 0.5 cause there's a unique that'll give the fragment things you pick up to minions and it adds up to like 150-180% more damage to minions so even if everything else is shit it's stupid scaling. Not 100% sure how it's going to go...

It is pretty dogshit but only for a few levels, like until lvl 11 or whenever you get Frost Strike. And before that yeah you just play budget caster with Glacial Cascade and Frost Locus+Frost Bomb if you want to stick to Monk shit, or mule some other weapon and skill. Personally I like playing...
