Don’t give up hope brothers, I had garbage drops for weeks, barely had a divines worth of currency in my stash, no good jewelers orbs etc. I was clearing super slow in tier 14/15s and failing a lot, especially on bosses.

all of a sudden had a +3 minion skill with spirit amulet drop that I sold for 18 div. Now after 12 divs of upgrades I’m rocking a new build, tearing thru lvl 81 maps and map bosses with ease and still have a chunk of divs left over. Feels like a completely different game
Well shit, all I've gotta do is get lucky with a drop that sells for 18 div and the game is fun again? Why didn't anyone tell me this before?

Yup. The SSF/lazy trader experience is ass.

But hold out hope. For I have been grinding T3s looking for upgrades and after maps and maps I was able to finally go to the guild bank and get some upgrades.

I unironically think that might actually be mists "secret". one good drop traded for currency. I think the rate of good mods on gear in poe2 might be higher then in poe1. I think on average if you throw 50 exalts at gear, you will get gear thats worth more then 50 exalts in return currently. especially true if you have white gear of higher ilvl for the better mods.

since we don't have sockets on gear, Im wondering if quality before enchanting effects mods.

The GG rares I have sold (5 div+ rares) didn't drop they were "created" and its kinda just "Identifying With Extra Steps" Have a filter just show the good bases including magic, then aug, regal and exalt and hope you get lucky. Do the same with gambling. Its super lame and feels bad but it is the way. Im at 75 divs and a giant pile of exalts for slamming.

Also get 250+ Rarity on your gear it makes such a dumb difference in this game you might as well just have a dedicated mapper. My Hammer Chronomancer is my Pinnacle+4 boss killer and this Hexblaster I'm building will morph into a 3-350% MF mapper. Its dumb but they love their MF and until they get rid of it it will always be a BIS stat.

I am learning this is the way forward for this game but it's hot dog ass and one of the least enjoyable ways to play the game. Trading is shit, it's botted, manipulated, and pure aids, but the giant boost in power is too much to ignore also the scaling in this game is turbo ass.

If their goal was POE1 is a giant shitshow of retardation and aids and they wanted to slow down gameplay why did they let the scaling go up so fucking exponentially that American Inventors are ass trashing the highest content in the game and 100-0 their uber boss retard bullshit in seconds while blasting entire screens full of shit.

For what the game started at to what it became in 2 weeks makes me think the entire POE1 player base is autistic turbo American Inventor retards who should never be catered to ever.



Also because they choose to make the game scale like retard faggotry and everything can be instablasted at the highest content the only way they could add in challenge to the game was the American Inventorly 1 tap and done get fucked model they incorporated into the game. Had they not gone the route of complete retard they could of just punished you with XP loss and let people finish maps or even moreso uber bosses instead of needing to farm 1000043214414313 fucking things for 1 shot.

I love this game but the only thing that I get tired of is long ass boss fights. I really don't play POE to grind on a boss a la Dark Souls.

I'm weaning myself off poe2 to get through some other shit in my backlog until more content or classes are added. i'll put a bunch of stuff in the guild bank today.

This is how I felt until detonate dead. Now I am just trying to guess whether the boss will get one tapped or two tapped (spoiler - it’s usually one tapped). This is with under 15 div of gear but granted I haven’t done any pinnacle content yet (I doubt I can, guessing those bosses will melt my minions before I can do much detonating)

Was putting some points in and noticed this little section that had some amazing nodes(10% crit/30% dmg to rare/unique as example) but its not connected to anything so no way to get it. Then I started noticing alot more of them. This normal and they get connected later, since it seems amazing nodes, so needs harder content?

Yea sure, just get 250 rarity, fucking lol.

Shit is overpriced as it is with just life and resists.

This is the PoE thing that always happen. The suggestions is "just get better gear lollsllslslslsls". How the fuck am I going to buy said fucking gear with no currency.
