Path of Exile 2

Intrinsic · Jan 21, 2025

Haven't revisited Chaos trial in a while, not since completing it the 1st time probably. Breezed through a Level 75 run and surprised myself. Was like "yay! last ascendancy points!" Then realized I need to do it 2 more times and do the Trialmaster

Have a few other 75 and 76 stones so just need the motivation to do it more. Don't even think my debuffs were that optimal as by the end my flask was neutered pretty bad as well as monster resistances buffed.

Also somehow missed out on the chest rewards? I got 3x of the Soul Cores at the end by none of the actual equipment. Couldn't figure out what to click, but I could be dumb.

Also got a Greater Jewler earlier so went ahead and 6L Explosive Shot with that Perfect I found a couple days ago.

Still have pretty crap gear and need to find some Divines or something to trade. Think the most expense thing I ever bought was a Bow or Amulet for 3-5ex.

There is no actual appeal to the obnoxious loot explosions that happen at end game and even cause the game servers to lag and crash. Except to GGG's vision. There are some things they entirely miss the mark on, and are completely married to. That's one of them.

The amount of loot is pretty low/normal in PoE2 though until actual end game waystone/precursor/tower rolling.

Maybe the stuff from the chest got filtered out? I usally just get Soul Cores thats of any worth from that.

Trial is good currency when you can farm it on autopilot.

As neat as the loot filter is, couldn't just less dogshit trash infested drops happen? I don't get the appeal of screens of worthless dogshit even Blizzard finally learned that less is more with drops in an ARPG and they are fucking imbecile failures.

It's been an Epoch since the Last time I saw loot done right

I didn't even think about that, the filter will hide stuff in reward chests like that, or they drop on the ground? Huh... now you got me wondering.

Was going to use my one Divine to upgrade my bow to a 600+ dps one but it looks like if I hold out and get a couple of more a bigger leap to a 3div one would be better.

They drop on the ground. I think if you press alt or ctrl it will show filtered stuff. I have never found anything good from that chest besides Soul Cores.

There are bigger bosses, but you need to do the specific mechanic in maps to acquire the items to do them (300 breach splinters to fight breach boss etc.) or find citadels to get materials to do that boss. Otherwise that's pretty much it unless you want to become a trial farmer instead or in addition to mapping.

There a method to getting breach splinters or is it just totally random?

Also, are there any items worth grabbing in the guild vault at this point or is it just trade website simulator for me?

You get splinters when you do the Breach mechanic in Maps. So need to aim for those Maps and collect 300 of them.

Don't sleep on Unique Jewels guys.

Got Against the Darkness with %added Fire Dmg and increased % Dexterity lighting up 4 nodes and now I'm at 12 attacks per second and exploding juiced T16s.

That's the cheap one at 7 Divs unfortunately, the rest are much more expensive. There's stuff like +all resists and taking nodes not linked to your tree path.

So use items in the game... how insightful.

Yaamean · Jan 21, 2025

Slowly making amends.....just placed 5 T14s and 3 or 4 T13s in the guild bank if anyone still needs.

Finally able to sustain T15s for the most part, had a map earlier where I got 4 and then 3 more from the boss drops, shit is crazy.

Yes they are good but its a min max tip.

The good/useful ones are way expensive so not many struggling will be able to get.

My Against the Darkness for Minions cost me 25 Divs for +11 to Spirit.

Interesting to compare these two replies I got.

Pathetic incel energy, "big" on forum, mid in game, weak IRL.

Endgame flex. Someone worth listening to.

Mine I think is slightly off meta and mostly saved 5 skill points for the fire damage source, so the cheaper ones can be great too.

But yeah some are build defining and crazy expensive.

First two builds I barely touched even rare jewels though, was worth dumping regals/exalts onto the ones I had drop to get some decent mods.

Not sure if its a flex. It was all my currency dropped into it. Im a noob compared to some here lol.

But it gets kinda crazy upgrading at the end. My next step is getting an Ingenuity and crazy rolled Ventors Gamble which will cost probably 100 Divs. So thats not going to happen.

The Infernalist is pretty much snooze playing right now. Going to farm a bit more then maybe revisit my 90 Monk again and upgrade/tweak the build. Think he is on double Herald atm. Had fun but he kept dying a lot from random shit. I think that might have been fixed with the patch though.

Edit: How do you solve the mana on Monk? That was the most annoying part for me if I remember.

Yeah I was able to upgrade a bit thanks to the lucky 25 div drop I sold, but it seems the next set of upgrades are all like 20+ div apiece. Thankfully I still have 2 or 3 pieces of gear that could be upgraded a bit cheaper, the tough part is finding the right piece for sale.

Upping my chaos resist to cap made a ton of difference, as did more energy shield and better staff (obviously).

Edit: I should have taken a break by now honestly, but between the lucky drop and that damned xp bar taunting me, I've still been hitting up a few maps every day.

Tempest Flurry is only lv5 and I also put Lifetap support on it, drains very little life to spam it.

Bells are a decent chunk of mana but with 40% mana reduction gem I don't notice it anymore, also have the option as Gemling to take the mana reduction node (I haven't).

I actually use Mind over Matter so my mana is a second life pool, that's probably Gemling specific though.

I took a 2 week break but been blasting a week now. I'm in the same boat as you and should probably stop for a bit but doing Chaos Trial while watching YouTube works nice for zoning out.

I tried starting new characters but I got bored at lvl 30 or so. Rather do that when they reset the League.

Damn Whats up with Divines now? Going for 180 Ex.

Mahes · Jan 22, 2025

I am wondering if they did a stealth nerf on divine drops. Its been a while since I have gotten one.

Currency manipulation is real in this game

bigmark268 · Jan 22, 2025

So me and the wife just got into cruel. I'm doing srs n readers. She's doing spark. So it all combos quite well. We're both I think 53. And we've seen 1 div between us.

I also would live them to make grouping more fluid. Just me port to the person with portal on their portrait and not to the zone itself no where near them.

Resurrecting other players is also buggy as hell. It takes way too long to do it. And if I die too then your both stuck at "waiting for other party memeber to resurrect you" so we just alt f4 lol.

Also when zoning with party members there's a lot of shenanigans about not getting into thr same instance still. Super wonky.
