I’ve been playing Monk and haven’t had anywhere near the trouble that seems to be plaguing others here. The Ascendancy trial and the first hag boss have been the only things that really pushed my shit in. Ascendancy was just figuring out how some of it worked and then getting lucky on how my maps rolled out. Hag boss took some over leveling and finally getting a weapon upgrade. Started off speccing into stun, but flipped to cold. The Bell has been my clutch ability so far.
Honestly, how well this has been going for me has me reconsidering playing more souls-like games.

I am just so bad. Keep dying (out of honor) at the end of the trial when he's at like 2%, and even managed to just fail on the timed crystal clicking because I got body blocked by some snakes.

The rock pile in the back that he spawns out of - just kite him around it. His shit cant go through it. (Unless/until they patch it, if they do.)

Also what do you do with charms? I have two and says I meet lvl requirements, where do I put it no way to equip it and I tried all the empty slots I have including the 3 behind the belt or is it like an omen just gets consumed when something is met?

Charm should go in the belt.

Keep a resist set per element. At least until you're into end game. Molten dude was a pushover with fire resists. Charm with ignite immune. Then the poison bitch, I had full chaos and charm on that one. Resists arent hard. I dont know who was talking about it being hard to acquire earlier, but they arent. At least by act 3, they arent. Just saying, keep a set. Ive got two rings and a necklace for each resists ~23% a piece per element.

Booze carried me on the poison bitch. Though, we both died a dozen times getting her down. lul

In case anyone missed it, itemrarity will fix your itemization problems. It's an absolutely cracked stat, moreso than magicfind was in D2 even. If you can get to like 40% rarity on your gear rares and currency rain from the skies, at least relative to 0.

Whether that's good game design is uh, debatable, but it's the way things work right now.

Is increased rarity non-linear? As in, X% increased rarity leads to a much greater increase in rares?

It's kinda impossible to know how it actually scales right now, but probably safe money on it being a weird efficiency curve like it was in D2 where once you hit the top of it getting more of it is less and less valuable.

Is hag boss the fire lady? Ironically, I steam rolled that one. Although I'm using the ice wall strat, which sounds like will cause me to quit the game when they fix it cause it'll brick my shit real bad.

Cast on Freeze is great, put Cold Snap on it to auto shatter everything.

Is anyone utilising gear set switch yet? I feel like it's going to be a big source of power and nobody knows how to use it yet.

This was huge to learn for me, as some information I saw had supports socketed that I didn't think was available.

I'm not a fan of only being able to use a single support though...so if you have it slotted in one skill, you can't have an additional gem socketed on a different skill.

I'm not 100% sure why they did that. however, it does open up some interesting things.

Support skillgems that basically do the same thing, but are "worse" . a poe1 example would be lesser multiple projectiles, greater multiple projectiles, and volley/greater volley.

here we have +aoe size support..and another +aoe size but with +6s to CD support.

I think you can auto weapon swap mace to leap slam (using all the weapon skill swap points for strength if need by) to get a more traditional movement skill on anyone.

Well it only took me 28 hours of play, but my old decrepit ass finally killed the Act 1 Big Boi on my 4th try. Good fight, and def. got a hit of dopamine.

Off to the desert...

Weapon swap has an animation to it and takes too long to ever allow for a swap for a movement skill

What are you using to freeze in the first place? I found a lot of the low level cold spells to be ass at projecting freezes.

This game is great and the people who don't think it's great are probably bad at video games.
