Path of Exile 2

yeah, you have to talk to Doryani in the refuge and do a map directly from the map device THERE, even if you have your own hideout already.

you can do third trial with a Djinn coin that is level 60 or greater with 3 floors, or a trial of chaos that goes up to level 10.

Fourth point has to be a 4-floor sekhema or trialmaster.

Got to maps. Game tells me to complete the campaign. Thought it was complete! HTF you know what you missed?

Also...what level are you supposed to complete those four trials? Think I did two.

I didn't do my 3rd point until 75 because I kept having to farm honor resistance gear. Once I hit around 70% and got lucky with a run it wasn't too bad. I hear ultimatum is way easier but I haven't seen a 10 trial one drop yet.

I really want to roll a fotm OP build but kind of waiting for patch notes to see what's still available. I keep getting minion stuff and I feel minions will largely go untouched other then maybe the weapon swap tech of more damage but that's more of a caster tech.

I was going to play for a bit more but damn the trade is fucked. If any gear is part of a "meta" it's priced at 100+ ex. Even without rarity shit on it. Tried to upgrade my Monks gear with pretty shit stuff and it will cost way more than I have in currency.

I think I will consider this "season" done for me, and wait for a big patch or a reset to the economy.

I have maybe made 15 divs in 220 hours, meanwhile my friends make 10 divs a day if not more in drops and currency. I get so fucking pissed seeing them share their trades it makes me mad enough to quit.

What is your friend doing differently than you? I ask because I dont usually push end game in ARPGs that much, but Ive seen only 1 div myself, and nothing I get sells even for 1 ex.

Do you just push maps and get more currency?

To preface my experience, I am just running each class through the campaign to see which I like the best, so I am not pushing any maps at all.

I have no idea, he gets divines every day to drop, he finds crazy items to sell for 5-15 divs each day. I have no clue wtf he is doing. I exalt shit I find myself but my biggest sale are two 1 divine trades. The rest are 5ex trades...

Also right now trying classes is probably the best thing to do. I don't usually like grinding endgame either. I get bored after a week or so, but mainly due to me not finding anything. It's the same in PoE1.

The answer to that is usually just "better rolled maps and more of them"

The quant/rarity rolls you can get on super juiced waystones (especially quantity) makes quite a big difference if you can actually finish the maps.

Think I'm done with this. When does the FUN start? Seriously I can say I had more fun in D4 than this. D4 had issues...but none that were made me just not care to play.

They have to fix melee. This shit is just rage inducing. I mean seriously...WTF do I have soooo many moves that act like I'm in molasses. WTF do I need to miss at a 25% rate? Don't want to miss a swing? Sure! Just can't crit any longer. Do casters have the same issues?

Nope lol

Monks does not have the same issue but they are dex/int I guess.

I wonder if it's just Maces/Hammers that suck. Maybe Swords would play better if they were in.

It is. But also armor sucks. So both pieces for warriors are broken.

The best tech I’ve seen for leveling a war is a a quarter staff that promotes stat stacking and play the war like a monk, I got to 50 when I realized I have a nearly 90 monk why am i doing this.

Maces are orders of magnitude worse than every single other weapon type and playstyle archetype.

Quarterstaves/Bows/Wands are here
Crossbows are here

Staves are here




















Maces are here

Plus ES, MoM, and Evasion are way better defensively than life/armor

I'm hopelessly addited to this game, it's a gambling simulator, every map there's this tension on if you'll get out more than what you put in.

Finally sustaining T15 maps after fixing my build yet again and going back to Monk. I think I have something amazing now. 6k energy sheild, 75% energy sheild leech, screen exploding. Just need some more single target DPS.

Have you considered not playing melee?

Most of the power comes from gear and skills, not the tree, so build it mostly defensively. Like I have the "dodge roll isn't effect by chill" node, it's amazing.

Ascendancy Classes are also not nessesarily that powerful or need to be linked to the sugested playstyle. Like you can probably find some synergy between Warrior Ascendancy and Bow/Crossbow skills, maybe with breaking armour or stunning enemies.

I've said this before here, but IMO all ARPG designers have the melee/ranged tradeoff completely backwards. "Long distance glass cannon" shouldn't exist as a concept, because ranged has incomparable defense built into the distance from mobs. Melee should be rewarded with more damage because they have inherently restricted movement choices and greater exposure. It's "risk/reward" not "risk/fuck you".

The thing that bugs me the most about the melee 'problem' currently is that they just decided to roll back all the iterative things they did to melee over the years in PoE1 to try and close the gap?

Like why doesn't fortify exist as a mechanic at all? When you've got mace attacks that say shit like +1.5 seconds total attack time, how do these not also have something like 'You are fortified while using this skill'.

Why did they remove endurance charges? Why use the old armor formula from before the defenses rework that sucks mega cock? Why remove all this stuff but then keep Cloak of Flames that offers better physical mitigation than the entirety of the passive tree combined?

Why is life scaling gone entirely? What were warriors suppoed to do, just have 3500hp forever?

It's just so many things that combine to conspire against a warrior ever feeling good, and it's all things that were problems years ago in PoE1 and are just problems again now because their design regressed entirely for some reason?

There was a brief moment during the EA where I thought maybe they had actually changed something from the previous closed tests, and some skills like Signature Slam were doing some real giga levels of damage and it was like 'okay maybe this is fine, this shit is slow as balls and I die half the time I try and charge it up, but it hits like a fucking nuke at least if I pull it off'.

And then it was the literal first emergency hotfix nerf was deleting all the damage from the slams that were actually good.
