Path of Exile 2

There isn't any point in leveling up, getting stronger, and the mobs also getting stronger to match either.

There isn't any point to video games, other than killing the fuck out of some baddies. Faster, Harder, and with more POWER

If you guys want to get ahead of a meta that will eventually present itself, start figuring out how to gear around the default/auto attack skills in this game.

Every single one of them scales out of control, cost no mana, get free links at various levels (6 at level 90) and do crazy damage with levels. And, coincidentally, the attack based ones are pure phys and so get full benefit from leech.

To illustrate here are some links to some of them:


This will be meta, and some streamer(s) will laugh about "how did nobody notice this! why is GGG putting this into the game?!"

Magic Find is such a huge garbage stat, but the difference in what Ive seen using a significant amount of it is night and day. I've saved up everything that has rolled double Loot Rarity. If I wear it all, my DPS doesnt really take a dive - but it does eat my defenses alive. If I'm methodical as piss and kill shit off the screen - I hear a a tap (loot filter tap) often. But if a flower touches my foot wrong while wearing all of it, my character ingests fertilizer and falls into a can of kerosene, instantly turning him into a flying little fluffy little molitoff cocktail that sets ablaze, leveling the whole neighborhood west of Newtons Store.

57% on Helm, 27% on Gloves, 30% Boots, 74% total on Gold Ammy, 61% on Ring one, 69% on Ring two, (both gold). Finally, the rarity charm at 20% on enemy rare death. (338% Total, but from what Ive read on Reddit - 200% is the goal. So I could scale it down significantly.)

You can't scale down shit bud, because nobody knows anything. Now here's more to think about.

Go into the skill panel for any one of your skills and look at the "On Kill Effects".

Then consider if these work, and you won't be able to google it, because nobody has tried yet apparently:

Yea I got kinda tired rather fast on the Atlas as well. I have not found any Citadel and getting Atlas skill points for League mechanics besides Bosses seems impossible. It need some work for sure, it was made in a hurry though.

Enjoying the Monk though, twinking him a bit too get through campaign.

The atlas is literally just a shittier version of poe1 in every way. Not sure what they were thinking. It's atlas mixed with delve just worse then either in every way

End game ARPG have always been kind of dull to me. Item chase, endless paragon grind,currency grind. They are all pretty boring to me.

I mainly play to the point my charcacter feels like it has a cheat code in casual mid game content(whether that is Dungeon runs,Boss kills, GRs, Maps) and I quit.

D2- At the point you could do mephisto, diablo or baal on hell with zero issue and fast

D3 - Clear rift 15s going zoom zoom, GR 80ish and maybe some ubers.

D4 - Never got to far, some rifts and bosses.

PoE1- Some maps, bosses

I feel like poe is going to be like 1. Ill do some maps and do bosses and be done.

I am just not one to sit in these games and grind for weeks on end for slightly better stats, some super rare item, or some endless tier system(paragon, delve, breach etc) I never make max level(unless they make it easy like diablo games). Usually its 2-3 weeks, play, get super powerful, run a few things while being super powerful and then quit until next season/league.

I just hit maps, so figure ill spend a day doing those and then check back in the game much later. Mostly fun game(some obvious things I hated or raged about that are already covered), well worth the 30 bucks. Let this stew for a while and get more added to it and should be better. I love that I can finally wasd, I hated click to move and the combat and campaign were a blast. The former once those early levels as a melee was gone. Cruel campaign was so much better then the first run through.

Same here although to be honest, I've never understood the endgame gameplay loop of ARPGs where you just grind the same shit over and over, get slightly stronger, but the mobs also get stronger to match it. It doesn't feel like there's ever actually any progress, and therefore any real point to it.

This is where I am at in every arpg. Once I hit max level and have all my skill points for whatever, my interest dies out.

I hit level 100 on my Void Knight in Last Epoch and was looking for a unique that was build defining since about level 90. After hitting 400 corruption and doing approx 1000 diff monos ( maps ) without seeing it drop.. I asked myself wtf was I doing.

Even if it dropped, the only thing that would do is allow me to do higher level monos ( maps ).

I love this game too, and I will run through the campaign with multiple toons I am sure, but the end game doesn't capture my interest that much yet either, but then again no arpg has captured my interest once you just start doing rifting, mapping, monos etx.

Yeah I do need to roll a monk before I take a break, but doing the campaign again from scratch just doesn't appeal to me. Will probably do it though. Once I hit A3 I think the rest would be fine.

I got one of those too and didnt even know wtf that means.

Hmm I could try a caster, just to see how different it is from a melee.

I think most everyone will end up taking a break up until release here soon, if they havent already stepped away. The end game just isnt all that rewarding. Your build starts to take off in a make or break attitude at the end of chapter 2, normal. Then, nothing overwhelmingly changes for the rest of the game. Its quite.. weird?... I want to say? I enjoy the game so I dont mind playing it when I have a chance. But even now, as I wait on someone to come pick me up tonight - I really dont have a lot of desire to log in because I know Mapping will just stress me out.

People should say things they are looking for. I honestly don’t know what people want, but I’d dump things in there that people were looking for. A good weapon is half the battle for anyone struggling.

I need about 65 Divine Orbs. Guild mates, please. Help.

Got a rare jewel drop with:

4% cast speed
11% cold damage
4% damage recouped from.mana before life
%12 shock

Or something like that. Listed for 10 exalts and was BLOWN up. Went DND and logged off, is this even good? Didnt even seem like it but with.the 20+ people that messaged me it has to be worth something!

Friendly reminder that /kills exists.

You want to see who's lucky and who's a grinder? There's the proof.

Also rarity is HOPEFULLY on a curve and the sweet point is probably in the 50-100 amount, not the 200+ amount. But that's for autists slamming Act 1 cruel bosses over and over and filling a spreadsheet to determine, not me.

Also on second character. Even with general bullshit unique twink gear, level 1-20 is just complete pain. Absolute bullying and erosion-level fights. They gotta juice skills sub character level 20. There's LITERALLY no reason (in before Jungroan's Korean Sherpas find a way) not to. Getting surrounded by mobs and facefucked in a corner over and over is rough.

Ain't found shit. 1 divine is basically it.



(plus another 18k kills and just about 24 hours exactly on the Stormweaver who was nerfed, although I stopped in Act 2 cruel)

The answer for 1-20 is widowhail + a good quiver (flat damage) and pick a Projectile skill. Lightning Rod + Lightning Arrow is typical.

You can use any skill you want on any class. Though having some attributes on low level jewelry helps

The other option is getting a good scepter and the spirit chest + spirit shield and going skeletal snipers, using their gas arrow command skill, and laying down flame wall.

Mini-MoM with cold damage is worth at least a divine, plus the cast speed isn't useless so that bumps it up even more.

I'd list it for 3-4 div.

Bone Blast

Conjures a circle of ritual inscriptions that last for a short duration. When the duration ends, spikes of bone erupt from enemies in the area, damaging them and potentially causing Bleeding.

Chaos Bolt

Fires a burst of Chaos energy at the target.

Bow Shot

Fire an arrow with your Bow.
