I was thinking -

premium stash tab bundle (6 premium stash tabs): 200 (165) points [33.33ea (27.5ea)]
Currency tab: 75 (60) points
Gem Tab: 40 (30) points
Essence tab: 40 (30) points

Which is 285

I feel like

Uniques Tab: 140 (110) points
Delirium Tab: 40 (30) points

and some combo of

Map tab: 150 (120) points
Divination tab: 50 (40) points
Fragments tab: 75 (55) points
Blight Tab: 40 (30) points
Ultimatum Tab: 40 (30) points
Delve Tab: 40 (30) points


Which makes me tempted to drop another $30 on this shit... but I need someone to talk me out of it and tell me they are garbage.
For PoE1, I found the map and fragments tabs to both be super worthwhile. Divination wasn't bad either.

But who knows if that translates to this.

Its been awhile, I forget what you can do with all the quality flasks. Turn them in for gemcutters right? Is that still the case?

Eventually they'll HAVE to port waystones and tablets into the map tab, but it'd be safe to wait for whenever they do.

Unique tab is underappreciated, it's amazing to just throw trash uniques into it and then when you start a new character and get to the first town you have a whole bunch of surprise gear waiting that will easily carry you completely through acts 1-3 without having to think about picking up anything.

Gem tab is a must because they'll pile up quick.
Currency is great because it has that bottom row of slots that hold miscellaneous shit like expedition currency and runes.

I also started a SRS infernalist while I wait for them to unfuck sorc.

Burned all the way through act 3 in one day like it was a walking simulator. SRS+Arsonists is ridiculous. By this weekend I will already be caught up to where I was.

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.

For PoE1, I found the map and fragments tabs to both be super worthwhile. Divination wasn't bad either.

But who knows if that translates to this.

I said talk me out of spending more money.. not into it goddamn it.

5 minute boss battles get real old boys.

I am at the point where Warrior does not feel fun. Too much stuff slows you so your already slow attacks and slow movement speed are just amplified. To the mercenary it is!

You know what really is crazy about the Warrior? Accuracy.

In a game where they want you to wield a giant 2 hander with giga-slow attack speed, having a "lol, just kidding your attack rolled low so you miss EVERY FUCKING ENEMY with your swing" stat that shows up hard near the end of Act 1 is just mind-bogglingly stupid. Like, maybe if it rolled for each enemy per swing it would make sense, but it doesn't. One roll determines whether your whole AOE attack hits everything or nothing.

Just another stupid archaic design decision. It's really baffling they decided to keep it instead of exploring new and interesting stats. Like they could've replaced accuracy with a lucky chance modifier. It's kind of the same thing in that it improves offense, and has items that can completely negate needing to get it (guaranteed lucky chance).

Lucky lightning damage on non-crit being on the passive tree looks like an outlier. Even PoE1 decided that was too powerful for the passive tree and moved it to a unique amulet.

Is it good? I was thinking about going for that next. I assume it just effectively halves the variance penalty lightning has with the huge damage ranges.

So, I stacked the relic thing with honour resist and max honour.

Suddenly it became easy mode. Finally got my 3rd ascend.

It's at least 20% more damage as long as you don't go stupid with crit chance.

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.

Currency
Gem
1 or 2 Quad to use as dumps while mapping.
Upgrade 1-2 of your normal tabs to premium so you can use trade.

-

Unique is a bait (holds only 1 unique).
Essences/Delirium aren't worth their unique tab in this iteration.
Waystones (Maps) aren't in PoE2 atm for whatever reason or that would be a must buy as well.

i was going to use it but it needs top tier distills that aren't even for sale yet. It’s not gonna last long on the tree. You can tell a lot of nodes are placeholders

Aren't the quads considered premium? What's the point of more than one premium tab if the only real benefit is trade? Cant I just move shit I want to trade and keep the others normal?

Resolute Technique.

It has been the rush node for every non-crit 2 hand build in POE1 since I started playing back in the Legacy League (March 2017).

How did you get the relics? I hate thatthey only drop inside so you have to spend chances to get them.
I bought em for 1 Ex each on the market. Because fuck Sanctum! But with all relic using max honour and max resist each it became enjoyable.

Instead of each hit doing 400 honour damage it did like max 20-40. And I had 6500 total.

Seems like they got rid of recipes altogether.

But then left some of the random shit in the game that kind of makes less sense when you remove it.
