Path of Exile 2

Finally at the last zone before Doryani on Cruel, forgot how fucking long Act 3 was.

I haven't traded or looked anything build-wise up, but surprisingly my damage seems fairly decent so far. Lack of exalts is killing me and 2 of the 3 elemental resists are negative so I have been playing more like Daek Souls vs a nornal ARPG.

Been really fun, using Warrior Totem and let that motherfucker use Sunder while I just worry about other shit......just really wish if nothing else exalts would be WAY more common.

Have a few boots that could be decent upgrades but Im not giving up 15% move speed, so what do I do if I need it and all 6 stats are filled? Just chaos spam and hope it doesnt take something I want? Really don't understand the crafting system at all and I have a feeling maps are gonna kick my ass until I get my resists up.

Man fuck breeches, they are fucking scary. They are pretty much the only thing that kills me anymore most of the time. I legit have to wait until the rest of the map is cleared before I even attempt to do them now.

Doryani down np but died halfway through my first map. Think that's it for me tonight but may have to see if I can buy some gear tomorrow. Have like 4 or 5 divines but only 1 or 2 exalts

Breaches and Ritual are just dogshit now. Way too rippy unless you've got insta-kill damage. I have good damage and even then Ritual is a death trap 35% of the time just because of inherent AIDS local map mobs + AIDS ritual effects like chaos exploding EVERYTHING. Also doesn't help Rituals are usually placed on the corner of some shit so you get at best 75% of a Ritual arena.

I'd say it's neither that minions are OP or Cruel is undertuned. They decided to give most of the good skills pretty absurdly high level reqs and made spirit and support gems more scarce than they should be in normal. Lots of builds dont really get any goodies until late A3/Cruel.

A2 is just also overtuned and ball breaking in Normal. The act boss is ridiculous with how little room you have to move and damage for the last 30% or so

Melee will remain unplayble under this game design of souls-lite combat until accuracy/hit chance as a stat is removed.

I finally got to Resolute Technique which made the game playable, but you really shouldn't be forced into a keystone to be able to make progress in Act 2. I just don't get the design at all. I haven't even seen a piece of gear that I could equip with Accuracy as a mod to this point.

Agreed. They just really overdid Act 2. And it takes a while through Act 3 before it evens out again.

It's why Doryani is one of the easier bosses despite being essentially the last boss of the campaign. You finally catch up after going through an absolutely ridiculous gauntlet.

Agreed, cold and lightning casters were decent through act 2, but once you got things like frost wall, comet, etc is such a game changer so they need to retune those acts or spread out some of the skill love.

Having taken the artillery totem struggle bus through the campaign as a merc I can safely conclude no one should do as I did. Just shoot grenades or whatever. Anything with aggressive AI will move in the time it takes a totem to fire and for the projectiles to travel up and back down to the ground. I took all three totem wheels on the southern hemisphere of the passive tree along with all the +proj damage there was to get really trying to make the most of this bad idea. Slow travel time, small impact radius, high mana costs and they require a massive amount of investment to get a D on the report card.

On some of the bosses with slower movement and larger models (and dumber AI) they could be great. Place them towards the middle of the area and they never stop shooting as you do the mechanics. The boss gets hit by every single projectile and often wastes even their big oh shit look out here it comes attacks on the totems. For each boss they felt good against there was a boss that zipped around and took forever to kill.

Next content update this little exile is going meta cuck.

His vTuber meme this morning had me fucking dying, especially like the 30 minutes he spent on dildos.

Even more hilarious is that TikTok is retarded and he went viral as being "exposed" as a bald, shirtless man behind his avatar.

Quins content is the best when it comes to PoE. The rest of them take shit waaaay too seriously. Ziz is good if you're a newer/inexperienced PoE player, but a lot of his shit is annoying/cringey as fuck.

Got to act 3, the tail end of act 2 was rough. The fight on the huge vehicle and then the final boss that had lazer beams over 3/4 of the little fight circle, with lighting and tornadoes over the rest was crazy. Start of act3 is a bit rough too, anything that seems to spit/shoot poison seems to be able to kill me in 4-5 hits. Huge monkey boss, no problem, but put in me a room or hallway with 5-6 ranged poison mobs and I will probably die if they dont die in 1 combo.

I will say dying and having a map repopulate will get old fast, especially with how big some of these maps are.

Yeah my resists make me way too 1-shot prone for maps, gonna have to farm up some exalts and try and get them up some. Will likely add a ton of DPS too since most of my gear is like level 35 and below, lol.

I did complete 2 so far but also died in 3 others, all T1 so yeah.

Think you can sell a divine on the currency exchange and get plenty of exalts to gear up? Shouldn’t be a bottleneck in that case. I spent 7-8 ex on gear after I finished campaign and was absolutely huge. Couldn’t cap resists but got into the 60s was a huge help, plus once you start running maps you get unique drops and jewelers etc and easy to get the exalts back quickly. I also stacked rarity on my gear to around 120 I think it’s been helping me a lot, hard to say vs luck

I do alot of posting on the cold chronomancer thread on the official forums. I just wanted to make an update on some of my findings.


Blink, cast on dodge testing.

First, blink is great.

troll townsfolk blinking around town.
second, troll allies in a party, by frostwalls everywhere, and blink out of them.
Third. blink lets you go out of bounds in towns. go blink off into the lake!




Actual blink/cast on dodge..

in town. frost nova is being cast on dodge EVERY TIME.
however.. at start location, not end location.. which.. is not what I wanted or expected.

Cast on dodge Frost wall does work in town as well... do with that information what you will...



Cost on dodge is giving way more energy then I expected.

cost on dodge+blink+ comet
42%. I have no energy passives. no inertia. 39% enrgy gain via level14 gem only.
126 energy on a single blink.
85% second blink.

gem+inertia+coment. 54%. its casting comet every other dodge.
162-165

about 92 per blink?
my blink is not 5meters. 4.6m
92/4.6= 20.

its not 2 per meter. its 20 per meter.

it does appear to be casting comet at target location.
frost bomb is at location. doesn't work well. always on cd for any double cast blinks.
frost bolt first from leaving location... ice trail starts midway, going off in perpendicular direction. not with the ball...
frost nova is at start location as mentioned.

This thing must be worth a fucking fortune. Got spammed by about 100 people INSTANTLY after putting it up for 5 just to test. Then I put it back up at 25 and same thing lmao. Now I've got it at 100

Yea probably 100+ Exalts if not more. I tried to buy one but had to take off Spirit to afford a +2 minion one.

Edit the filter, scroll all the way to the end, uncomment the optional stuff and whites/blues will go away. If you actually want to see certain base types, just delete those ones from the hide list.

Don't worry about missing items with sockets or quality, they will always show so that you can pick them up for salvage.

How do I get one of these fancy loot filters on Xbox, if i can’t get it on Xbox if I put one on my Rog Ally when I play via steam will it carry over?
