It's a shame that the stuff they copied from LE, reasonable SSF and crafting weren't among them.

Don’t forget you can just craft with your stuff. Don’t overpay for mid gear. It’s easy to buy a magic item or a 3 stat item with resists missing movement speed or life etc and slam an exalt on it, and save yourself 15-20 ex in return. esp as exalt prices go up. This is why ex as the baseline trading currency is so much better. In poe1 chaos was basically just money (or map sink) as no one actually used it for crafting

I don’t even understand why people want divines, there’s no meta crafting that I’m aware of. I guess stuff like adorned, really high end item rolls, on expensive uniques? It’s very niche. don’t get caught in the bubble. Ex is always useful. You can transmute/regal/ex your way to amazing gear honestly

clothy glass cannon
What makes melee even less desirable is that with decent gear and skill setup there's no glass, it's just cannon. You even have a choice of ways to make yourself nigh-unkillable since both ES stacking with Grim Feast (and maybe CI) and EB+MoM are effective.

What does the red line represent?

View attachment 565098
Red line would take a turbo retard to follow. The most reasonable path is almost always left hand/right hand maze approach. I drew the worse of those paths here, cause obviously left hand would be better.

That said, I do think maps are about 25-30% too big. They need to have a mount you can use when no enemies are nearby or something similar that makes you super fast where there's no reasonable chance to encounter a fight.

Jesus, $5 for a divine?

Speaking of, are there ever any cheaper cosmetics? I'm not paying $40 for pixels to look cooler. $10-15 I might be okay with.
Think you answered your own question in your same post. Ive got like 30 Divines cause I never use 'em. I should probably sell them since Im roughly done with the season, personally.

Wtf, how you freezing packs without Freezing Shards/Eye of Winter linked to Chain? You don't even have Elemental Storm procs with that Ascendancy.

With Frostbolt!? It's so small, I have increased AoE on Coldsnap so I can use it to kill whole packs. Hopefully I misunderstood and you meant one or the other?

Obviously bosses you can use Frost Wall.
yeah,frost bolt is super effective at freezing. accell to get it off screen. scatter shot, for spread. faster cast to not slow me down as much. (wish there was better options here, but its what we got atm.) im 4link atm. 5 link opens things up a bit.

I do have 105% or so of freeze build up. freeze is op.
(im at about the 82 point version linked)

frostbolts off screen. strong freeze. if i had enough spirit for archmage+clarity+cast on freeze frost walls, I would. (and blink... and grim harvest..)
that said, manual frost walls, and bombs as needed. popping walls does massiv aoe damage/freeze. frost walls cast DIRECTLY on medium or larger nemies instantly pops them for massive aoe damage.
frost boltcan be massive dps itself in the right situation. "aka" if the enemy is up against a wall, and the frost bolt impacts shotgunning aoe.

coldsnap is .5s base cd. so can be spammed. consumes the freeze of your target, but can chain freeze. the rest, if not using elem focus. esp if it pops walls.

There’s gonna be a huge divine crash. There’s just not a good use case to hoard thousands of them. exalts far more useful for crafting unless I’m missing something. The whole point of divines in Poe was meta crafting , stuff like suffixes can’t be changed etc. crafters would need thousands of divs for that process. Who the fuck is gonna burn thousands of divs tweaking a few roll values? market manipulation is happening don’t be a sucker

I wouldn’t be surprised if annuls go up a lot in value as they are exceedingly rare and can be useful (tho in poe 2 they overlap a bit with chaos use)

You seem convinced that the current supply and demand is organic.

Nevermind, missed the tail end of your third post on this topic. You're still being far too generous.

Hi, turbo retard here. I constantly get made fun of for hitting dead ends in my groups. In fact, I've kind of made it statistically impossible to not go the right way it's almost a talent. I do wonder if GGG put "tells" and landmarks like they did in poe1 campaign.

Leveling my ranger its been nice to have constant upgrades, I pull out a bow use it for 5 levels and then swap it out for another.. while I am sure we have complete dick fucks in the guild hopefully most of them aren't turbo fags. I keep throwing a fair amount of shit in there I mean you aren't going to find godly end game shit but if people are just melting them down for gold or disenchanting then we should boot the fags.. Sadly there is no log another thing if these retards at GGG would of just copied WoW for so many basic things that have already been perfected years ago we wouldn't be dealing with.
Actually, there is a bit of a log. Unfortunately it doesn't really have a long enough history to be completely useful. As Gravel said, if someone is reorganizing, or dumping a bunch of waystones for example, that will pretty much fill up the log. And I'd have to be paying attention and/or be notified to check it soon after any potential shenanigans. So it is essentially just hoping no one is being a prick.

Unfortunately the site is borked right now it seems so I can't show you guys what it looks like. They keep adding stuff for guilds so maybe eventually it will have a longer retention.

Honestly wish they would just copy paste the AH used in World of Warcraft with some small changes as needed for spam control and currency. I imagine they would keep a lot more players if they did this. I usually finish the main quest(In this case 2 times), do a couple of maps and then just stop because I do not have the patience for the current trade system. I am positive I am not alone.

I wonder if they're going to regret letting heralds(specifically ice and thunder) scale so easily. Not that I don't mind, I love me herald chain pops. I can't wait to applyrepurchase all the herald MTX I already own!

But, it seems like an incredibly obvious mistake to remake. In PoE1, you have to invest heavily to make heralds a worthwhile clear strategy.

PoE1 trade is balanced around it being a fuck and a half to use. Just getting the currency exchange was a minor miracle. I don't expect we'll see much improvement in PoE2.

Easiest way is to ask in Discord, but Daidraco is pretty good about picking them up here too. I can't do it now as I'm at work and not in-game.

You need to post any character name for us to invite you, not your account name.

A huge step in the right direction would be an icon on the item you could press to pull up the site with the mods already filtered out. Third party apps can do this stop out sourcing qol to people you don't pay.
