Path of Exile 2

Yes and they are influenced by MF in my experience so better have your 200+ MF ready to go before you bother.

I was able to make at least one very cool item from the reroll options on the Expedition vendor.

Essences get less rare once you get the Atlas passive that gives a +15% greater chance to have 2 additional essences on essence mobs.

They are still dogshit without scours and are generally dogshit overall since they removed the tiers.

This is early access. We are in on the ground floor. Crafting will come, but too many, MANY OF THE SAME PEOPLE COMPLAINING NOW, say "oh crafting is too complicated! I need to follow a guide! I'll never learn the tiers or rolls!"

Guess what fuckhead, you're doing that now. Just like we did it 11 years ago. Crafting is coming, but the large base of newer players get to start out easy because if they added full scale crafting we'd just see more Reddit posts and QQs about how "X streamer made 10 mirrors making this item I don't know how to make!"

People need to realize this shit is early access. Half the fucking classes + ascendancies aren't even in yet. Half the fucking ACTS aren't even in yet. I'm fine with feedback and stuff, but you think they're going to launch full blown autist god-crafting before they even add a fucking Templar to the game? Probably not.

Crafting is coming, but if you can't see how they're getting everyone caught up on fundamentals while also avoiding the landslide of complaining about people who DO know how to do it maybe you need to wait a bit for full release.

I learned infinite the past few days on invoker monk. So many things clicked and my build is so much better now. The support that splits shockwave into 3 parts is a must. It's basically like having a fully stacked falling thunder without needing the buildup for it. I also realized that using any sort of resist reduction nodes on the tree when using the crit ascendancy makes them almost completely useless so I freed up like 10 or so points just from that alone and put them all into critical chance and crit dmg.

Another really important thing is that you have to use both herald of ice and lightning no matter what. At first I was only using lightning because I was like I'm not freezing things so I won't proc the herald anyways but realized that's irrelevant because you're getting a huge damage increase just from having both heralds running. Also because of the herald tree node, stacking flat lightning and ice damage on everything you can get amplifies your damage dramatically because they're both being increased by several hundred percent.

One thing I noticed is that the only ele ailment that applies to your attacks is determined by what element does the most damage from that attack. So the only real difference is which particle effects you want to see proccing from which herald.

How do you get skill books for the various League mechanics? I have gotten 3 Boss books but nothing else.

I love when Xevy stops by with one of his "yelling at reddit" posts.

He's always yelling at the foh strawman.

But he does post good info from time to time unlike Mist just copy pasting screenshots from reddit.

Each mech has a boss I believe. Like the collect 300 breech splinters spawns an area to a boss that drops the books.

PoE Reddit is a place you'd THINK people could go to get information, but it's not. It's just dozens of the same complaints about shit everyone is already complaining about and it serves no purpose but to make people angrier and sadder. I don't browse Reddit much, but I'm told that in contrast to the actual PoE community it's a pretty fucking terrible place.

People go there looking for information and tips and they just get doomposting and gamerdadisms that all get omega upvoted so you can't see anything else. It fucking sucks.

PoEBuilds Reddit is pretty good as it was people theoryizing things, showing off weird interactions, and showing off new actual established builds. Then it slowly devolved into "WHAT BUILD IS UNKILLABLE AND CLEARS EVERY MAP IN 60 SECONDS? MY BUDGET IS 3 MIRRORS AND 3000 DIVINES".

Daidraco Any insight in to using Gemcutters on Skill Gems for Merc? Have a handful and was thinking about throwing them on a skill but wasn't sure if you had any exprience in maps as to what was worth improving quality on.

I kinda want to throw some exalts on this, crazy Evasion and I think I have a skill for body armor evasion bonus to armor (maybe I was thinking of Leather Bound Gauntlets passive and had it backwards)

Ya that's not even remotely close to being ex slammed unfortunately. You're infinitely better off just taking a couple exes and just buying one that is probably 5x better than that for the same price as the exes you'd slam.

I have a totally stupid and basic noob-question...

My current setup is W-A-S-D movement and runs three spells on my mouse, left click, right click, middle roller button. The problem is when I try to pick items up off the ground with left mouse click, my guy spams his spells rather than picks up the item. I run all the way over on top of the item, I hold down 'Alt' to reveal the item names, and I click directly on the item name panel and it only picks of the item of 20% of the time. I spam click for like 5 seconds and FINALLY it will pick the item up. It is rather infuriating.

What the fuck? When I had my Wand as my left mouse click, this was never an issue. There has to be a setting somewhere to make this better. What am I missing? Is there a setting to auto-pick up items like you do Gold? I know they have item item filter, but I don't know how that works.

It was bugged.

I swapped out my left click (Unearth) for my right click (Flame Wall) and everything works just fine now. My sanity has returned.

I'm rolling Acolyte of Chayula boys, wish me luck. Just about to do last boss of Act 1.

Saving this for official release. I genuinely hope you're right.

Unfortunately it seems everything resembling Poe1 crafting has been intentionally removed from the game. It is evident that the power of items and the ways to deterministically craft them were deemed too much by GGG. There are a few things that will be converted into omens but that's about it. I don't know who in their right mind thought picking up white bases was going to be entertaining but holy shit are they disconnected. Losing scours + alts is insane. They want a ton of friction in the game and they're definitely succeeding on that front.

I think the whole "its early access" bullshit is getting old though. If the game is finished enough to charge people $30 to play then I don't want to hear shit about how it's "just early access" and I shouldn't expect anything. They're out here gutting builds every week while, like you said, half the acts, classes, and ascendancies aren't even in. If it's just early access who the fuck cares if a build is overpowered. Let people play what they want and go see your "endgame" (lol). One endgame boss and the sad excuse for an atlas tree is a far cry from the GGG I've come to love and throw my money at.

The biggest slap in the fact has been GGG insisting that Poe1 has a completely different team and will be developed just like it has been yet were getting reboot leagues now? So far it's been a let down and I hope they make a LOT of changes. It feels like I'm back in 2013 playing Poe1 except this time they've had many years and an actual team of developers to make the game.

Is there a way to see what your weapon DPS is in game somehow? I noticed that when you searched on the trade website that it'll tell you. And it seems absolutely retarded that there's some kind of calculation being done by their servers to determine it, but only when something is listed for trade.

List the bow you are using for sale and then look up your own listing to see the numbers.

No and I was asking the same thing the other day but I literally just had an epiphany and figured it out right now looking at this post. You take the average damage and then multiply it by the attacks per second.

So 1 to 28 ele dmg = 14.5 average then times that by 1.33 and you get 19.29. For phys dmg it's 151+273 ÷ by 2 then take that number and x by 1.33.

Pretty annoying to have to do it manually tho.

Ya I just thought doing that too but I just figured out the easier way lol.
