Path of Exile 2

I'm almost positive it does, otherwise the viper boss makes no sense. I'm not able to perfect dodge roll through that shit every time. I'm not that good.

posted this last night, not technically i-frames but most is
"The first half of the roll animation avoids projectiles and non-AoE attacks" poe2wiki

"First half" sounds like a generous description but maybe.

Finished Act 1 Cruel with the nerfed Frost Sorc, no issues at all, trash packs were slower to get through for sure but Eye of Winter is helping.

We just need to experiment with different Cast on Freeze spells or switch to Cast on Crit.

Who thought this honor system in trials was a good idea? A system that encourages you to not fight, in an ARPG.

I think it depends really on how long acts 4,5, and 6 end up being.

Right now you just get through the first 3 acts and then repeat them again, but on please I believe it's supposed to be a true new act 4, 5, and 6.

If I remember correctly, didn't poe1 start out with 3 acts that you had to do 3 times similar to Diablo, then they expanded it to a 4th, a 5th, and eventually 10 acts to make it to end game?

Oh for sure I'm just speaking of what's available. Pretty confident I could get this down to somewhere in the 8 hour range for the double 1-3 on a fresh currently which is still crazy long, but it doesn't feel hard anymore.

Hoping we get the other 3 acts before leagues drop so there is time to practice with them too. =O

There's a few specific boss attacks that this works on, but it only makes the problem worse - it trains you to think the dodge roll is a proper defense mechanic, and then you go in to your yellow map and try and dodge roll away from a rare and just fucking explode instantly.

I don't know what to tell you because literally that's how I beat every boss.

Gravel said:

Where's the line though is my point. So I decide to make a new char and new build, how do I know they won't nerf the shit out of the next one and I just repeat this cycle over and over because the devs don't like the way I'm playing?

It's early access, I'm sure a lot is going to change. If it bothers you that much maybe consider waiting for release, it's not worth stroking out over.

This is how I know you just have no idea wtf you are doing and don't know why people even linked it to Comet at all.

Im going to ask you why you cant really do CoC and I wanna see how long it takes for you to figure it out.

Stop being passive aggressive and just say what you mean and share your own build/progress.

The game is new, nobody knows wtf they are doing. Share what you know without being gay about it.

What are you even asking me? What is the "that" which I cannot do?

Sanctum is definitely the kind of bullshit that should never even have existed in PoE1, let alone been dug up for mandatory progression here.





That's the result of my first L65 run and I did get my third ascension, but that was with 11 arsonists and SRS allowing me to hide around corners and shit like that. I can't even imagine doing it on another ranged class let alone melee. Also, I coasted through the first two floors without ever going below 6k and started the third completely full honour. The reason I almost lost is because the gauntlet rooms sometimes have pressure plates instead of switches to open the doors, and when you step on it a gas cloud comes out. I lost over 4k honour in about a second because I didn't know exactly how it worked, and the second one (that I rolled over) still dinged me for a few hundred.

I started the scorpion boss with about 1500 remaining, and every hit you take is about -250, plus when it spits poison at you (another thing I was only able to dodge by never standing still and hiding behind my minions) it leaves behind almost invisible pools of acid that are almost as bad as the gas vents if you touch them. Still don't know how I managed to get the win, I was at 79 for half the fight and the fucking boss did it's dive phase about 5 times in a row when it got to around 33% hp.

Thankfully the only thing the 4th ascension would get me is +6% hp, so I don't ever have to find out how much more retarded it can get when you do an endboss run.

Here ya go



So that nice little change made CoC WORSE then CoF. Cause you know all those extremely high crit low damage spells were for no reason really, they are just happy to be here. Just wait till you get to maps and you need 6-7 EoW's to get one comet (which btw is the only skill that does any damage at all since the deicded to make frost skills do no damage) to kill anything. On the plus side kiting T1 maps for 30 min should be easy on your controller.

Pro tip:

If you're laughing at the CoC and CoF meltdowns now, I really, really hope you're not using any shotgunning Scattered Shots mechanics

Arsonists/Triple Gas bomb gonna go away, prep yourselves now.

People who are having meltdowns over CoF not working are the WORST type of players. Cold Sorc isn't fucking dead, that build that was repeated because of streamers and shit doing it is dead (at the moment, 0 chance Energy stays this way and is obviously their most complicated mechanic). A LOT of these builds are fine in Sub 6 maps with non CoF/CoC stuff if you actually use skills with utility to buff your other skills. The REAL problem is we don't have enough greater/blessed jewelers so builds can be played as they are design with 2-4 abilities doing completely different shit synergizing for da big boom. Everyone running around with 4 links is just frustrating, but I guaran-fucking-tee if you had a Cold Sorc with 2 6links and 15 link people would understand how they intend the game to be played.

Respecs should be free during this, but in true PoE fashion they know they give us anything for free now and they'll NEVER get to take it back. And it's 100% true unfortunately. Give a Redditor a cookie...

Respecs being free should just be a core tenet of these kinds of games in 2024

This game is exposing a lot of people, maybe Blizzard was right to make Diablo retard easy.

So don't use low damage spells for CoC or don't use CoC. I'm just speculating on how to tweak the build, calm down.

There's crit nodes everywhere next to frost nodes and things like the gem that gives 100% crit after a few seconds. There's some potential there.

Could be Comet critting and proccing another Comet!

The paid beta expecting you to pay full gold price for respecs as patches come in hot is quite the road to take.

If CoF didnt still delete bosses I'd agree with you I just dont understand gutting mapping for it.

Regardless I dont play it, survivability sucked on maps so i rerolled before the nerf even happened. I do this build (unlikely to get nerfed, its complicated enough as it is) but Melee Chronomancer is hysterical and blows everything up to T16. Mines iterated a little differently then this guide but it will get you going in the right direction.

Didn't PoE 1 early access have free respecs on major changes?

So, the best defense is to kill shit dead? This is just PoE1 again!

Wrong. This isn't a PoE-like, it's really more of a Diablo-like.

Can I get a guild invite, McJiggles_Sorc_EA
