Man wasd is so much easier on the hands which was one of my too gripes
Yes! I was worried about WASD before having played it since it so foreign to a ARPG, but like 30 min in and it felt like second nature and youre right, not having to click to move is a huge wrist saver.

Well that was a waste of 100 bucks. I REALLY hate the early warrior gameplay. I do NOT want to fuckin use totems and basic attacks.

My concern with WASD is claw hand. Less so after a long weekend with it. But now I'm more concerned with Q, 1, and 2. It's awkward to hit those while moving about. And I don't like that the solution is just don't use Q(lucky I haven't played a build that needed all those hotkeys) and that recovery will eventually outscale life and mana flasks. Just seems like bad design.

For some reason they only have maces and quarterstaffs in the game as melee weapons. They will be releasing axes, swords, daggers, and maybe some other weapon types which will have new skills/supports as well.

Maces look slow and clunky as hell. But you *should* be able to come back to the game at some point when those weapons and skills are released and try warrior again. There will also be other classes/ascendancies added with melee focus (and you can actually use any skill on any class, nothing is actually class locked)

At 63 Sunder is my jam. So slow but double waves often enough and is both great for bosses and groups alike. What are you using?
Yeah basic atk armour break into shout into double wave Sunder. Works great on bosses but clear speed is pretty cumbersome. Just a lot of wind up!

You can also try this build and just yell at shit, though not sure at what level it becomes viable

It gets a lot better later with more skills, but yeah it's a struggle early on. It's basically just basic attacks/leap all the way through. Feels beefy, but so slow.

The only thing I think I am struggling with is that being stuck on the A3 boss, my resists are absolute shit tier. I think thats why I am getting one shot so blatantly. So, I am trying to farm better resist gear and struggling big time. With no scouring orbs, I find a base, and use my currency on it and getting at most +9 to something. If I miss any resist roll at all, I have to vendor the item and then go looking for another base to try to craft on again. 18 hours of farming and my resists are still sitting at -10 to +20 and I'm just frustrated.

You need second ascendancy for no warcry cooldown. Up to that point its the standard Warrior pain game playing earthquake or whatever, and even with that ascendancy you are working off Strength so twink gear is more or less required, its really not a league starter.

I'm running a Monk lightning build. It's really awesome when I can easily build charges, but it's tougher when this mf is dropping all kinds of shit on me when his trash mobs come out. Only did 3 runs so far, but that's been the most I've failed at this point. Not sure how I'm feeling about the monk in general, though. Might try another class before getting too deep with the monk.
Ask for a skip instead of farming lower tier content. You'll have plenty of opportunities in the hell levels to practice them, but you wont be handicapped by gear at that point. Just ask me for a skip and I'll bus you through it real quick.

Nirgon Nirgon - Send Daidraco a tell or just tell me your name and Ill invite you and you can join at your leisure.

Same. Also the lack of a POE1 crafting bench which let you add resists to any gear slot if slot was open, it just seemed like resists were never a problem in POE1, int his game good luck finding or rolling a double resist gear piece. Triple res on an item is like winning the lotto. It also seems like jewlery is stupid rare in this game too. Jewlery was always the spot where you parked the most of your resistances. Bases were cheap from a vendor always rolled well and were just easy to get. I think I found all of like 5 rings and one ammy in my whole time. And like you said, no scours means once bricked always bricked.

Awakened PoE Trade is being ported to PoE 2, but not by the original author who stated that he doesn't have time to maintain both versions.
The name will eventually gonna be changed because the dude behind the original has requested it to be named something different. Likely to avoid confusion between versions etc


The disappointing part is that they didn't include some way to do this in game.

You're supposed to salvage all the socketed gear you find to add sockets to the stuff you do use and cover resist gaps with runes

Holy shit. Got Ice Comet on Cast on Freeze now. At first I'm like, this sucks. It doesn't trigger every time. But no, it's absolutely insane. I'm ripping through packs now. The more mobs the better.

Killed Queen of Filth in under 15 seconds between Comets and Ice Wall.

Yeah it makes a world of difference, like I said I played through Normal all the way with just messing around with whatever skills felt good and random skill tree placement. It was somewhat slow and clunky but it was fun and I wanted to experience it without some turbo nerd mathing out everything for me.

After I beat it and respected into Ice comet I blasted through Cruel with zero effort just face fucking the entire thing, no chipping away at things or slowly pulling, dying to maps, having to reclear, it was just face fuck the entire way through.

My biggest opponent in this game is the fucking map trying to find whatever little fucking retard bullshit you might have missed... you know trying to reclear through a map because mobs respawned in boring, trying to reclear through a map thats already fucking empty playing "mall walking simulator" is even more fucking boring.

I was interested in what these maps things were and it's just more walking through the mini map of a cleared zone looking for whatever American Inventor shit you might have missed. Pretty lame gay retarded and stupid.

Why does the chat system, guild system, party invites, and other shit blow turbo ass in this game? Why can't these cunts just copy WoWs shit they already perfected that years ago. The entire point of making games is to steal shit already out there and improve on it not make your mark on the gaming industry by reinventing the wheel as a fucking square.

Why the fuck did you spend 100 on this when you could have spent $30?
