So apparently stash tabs are on sale… I got my 300 points from the EA. What do you PoE vets recommend to get?

I assume currency is a given? Whatever is the best value at the moment, if I need more than 300 points I guess I can always upgrade this shit but I couldn’t give a fuck less about cosmetic shit in this game.

Premium tab if you want to use the market. Assuming there is a market in 2, not playing right now.

Think I will upgrade my supporter pack and get stash tabs during the sale. Only have like 3 premium and one quad... Its not enough without special tabs available.

Lord have mercy. I was starting to doubt some of the builds choices because the gear Im getting at my level felt like it was invalidating those choices, much less the skills and support gems. So I checked up on the build I WAS using, which I have book marked from just 4 days ago. The build for the Grenadier build on the Merc is almost completely different than what Im using. Some of the doubts I had were correct, as theyre no longer taken. But hell, some stuff isnt even taken that I thought was good.

Hell, the support Gems themselves have even changed up completely. One of the support gems I have on my second main ability it even says DO NOT USE, lol. Fuck me...

Yeah I dropped titan for merc. It gets powerful but never really pops off, and feels quite clunky even later on. Sunder wind up is just glacial.

I tried Warrior last night before Ranger. I started to just use the basic gear and its clear speed is just so fucking slow. The early abilities are just fucking awful. So I went back into town and plopped a few Uniques on him, and tried a few different builds... still no real change. Got to the Mausoleum boss and even with an item level 27 unique weapon - he still went down slow as fuck. Ruled the Warrior off right after killing him - just a challenge that has no real reward.

Im really, really, hoping - for Warrior mains, anyways - that Swords and similar shit completely change up the clear speed for them. That, or they rehaul the class completely. Asmon's video on "big abilities", a clip, highlighted a warrior for doing a 20k hit. Like it was amazing? Meanwhile, the very next clip showed a Sorcerer do a million damage that was only 3 levels higher than the warrior from the previous clip. Shit is just so out of line for a Warrior right now.

Where are you reading this?

I was following a couple youtubers, but I passed them in Map levels a long time ago. Theyre still clearing basic shit. So I started looking at what was on Mobalytics, and Maxroll. Maxroll has one single end game build for Merc and it overlaps a lot for late game mapping thats on mobalytics. So I'd just use Maxroll's guide since he actually explains WHY he has shit the way he has it. For instance I had scatter shot on my Explosive Grenade, but didnt realize that THAT was what slowing me down a bit. Explosive Grenade is currently my clear - but its not about kill speed at my level. Its about getting shit before it gets me. Shits almost dead from just the gas alone, without an explosion. So an extra few bombs going off is pointless. Which basically, I need to use Gas grenade more often and explosive grenade, less.

Many of the old tabs didn't cross over.

Currency yes. Quad yes. Essence yes. premium yes.
--
Fragments no. maps no. Divination no.

PS logged into poe1 to check tabs I had. oh man its hard to go back. movement, graphics, everything.
I see delirium and unique tabs in poe2 for sale. Thought I had a unique. I guess not was just using quad tab for uniques I guess.

Currency is a must have yes.
Essence probably never was. just not enough to justify.
Upgrade to premium stash tab x5. yes. you get 5 basic stash tabs for free. upgrading all five to premium would be 50. (75 normally)
Premium bundle yes. premium bundle is 6. 12x12x6 200/6=33.3 per tab. 165 sale/6= 27.5 per tab.
Quad probably. premium bundle is technically cheaper per slot. quad is 4 in one. 24x24. 150/4=37.5 per "tab" on sale for 120/4=30- per. "tab"
Fragments were a must have imho. but have not been transferred yet.
Same with maps.


Premium tabs have public/private, naming and color coding. opening them up for marketplace trading.
The upgrade to premium for 50, doesn't increase space, but does let you color code and label them. And trust me, league after league of "remove only" you need labels.

all tabs have affinities to allow autosorting to them. affinities have not been updated to poe2.

Yeah, it is all changing all the time. EA powaa. Hopefully you have giant sacks of loot. And gold.

Essence is a must

oh, man I didnt see that gem tab. probably going to get that one.

remember affinities let you autosort some of them to tabs already. flasks, essence, delirium, uniques.. my gems as you can see are a mess. I send uniques to the quad.
I can't imagine what the flask tab does. don't pick that many up. unless it also does charms now.
we do need charm, relic, rune affinities.

you think so? I NEVER filled my essence tab up. and the NEW essences, don't even have all those stupid shards. pretty sure this could all just go to a premium.

If you have POE1 it is a much more useful tab. And it's shared.

last day to earn the 2 cosmetics

Going through the 2nd time and I'm really getting tired of one shot mechanics. They're just so fucking stupid.

I hate playing the memorization game where I get to remember all the little animations a boss has half a second before they do them, and then hope I dodge the correct direction.

Click to expand...

I just started a witch, and even with some experience under my belt that first unique before you enter town hit me with his line attack several times. I paid pretty close attention, and the attack was wider than it appeared, and fast enough that you had to almost pre-dodge dodge a little. More to just say: seems a little unfair.....to an old, slow guy. Luckily that hit is not a one shot, like that friggin' gorilla.

Still slogging away in the campaign as I'm up to 70 hours worked this week so can't comment on this game but I had planned on an essence strat like I do in almost every league to start as it allows me to craft.

I'm sure the essence don't stack up like in poe1 but even at 1/10th volume I would still need a tab with all the essences I get.

If you don't like essences and don't spec for it then yes, probably not a req.

Well, after the Nerf on comet I decided to go back to minions. Started a Witcher this time. It helped that I had actually looted a legendary minion headpiece that gives +50% damage to allies with a -25% to me. Also helped getting a legendary chest piece with 100 Spirit on it. Go go Army of bombers....

Oh, you lucky fuck. I can't find shit with Spirit on it.
