Charges gained per second for act bosses on potions, % chance to restore for everything else.
First run through on new league you should be checking and storing potions. Potion tab helps, once you got good currency go buy you some and if you plan on making other characters buy some for the levels you normally do act bosses etc

Resist swapping for bosses during the campaign is very powerful and does make the bosses much, much easier.
It's also super gay.

Using lightning strike and sometimes cull the weak. Herald of thunder procs frenzy charges with electrocute/nerual link I think as well.
On bosses I LS until they are shocked, then Primal Strike 3 times for big dmg.

Completely agree, but feel free to die 8-9 times on 2-3 minute boss fights instead of taking a moment to swap you do you.
it’s shit design I’m just telling you what I leaned to make it not such a pain in the dick, second or third play through who cares you twink that character and it rapes everything.

Never doubt my dedication to doing tedious task in video games, as a wizard I did the eyepatch of plunder quest just to click it in front of melee characters to piss them off knowing I camped hundred hours for something completely useless for my class.

r/pathofexile2 continues to be 90% negative. Which is in stark contrast to how hyped that sub was leading up to 0.2.0. How is the game getting 200k weekend numbers? I know most people don't use reddit, but I don't think their complaints are outlandish and they usually represent at least some portion of the playerbase.
Oh well, been some great memes out of this fuckup.

poe2 has had better retention than any poe league ever, confirmed during jonathan's interview yesterday. You are also only getting to see the steam numbers, no standalone no console info what so ever. So the idea that the game is some unfun piece of shit redditt and pos streamers want you to think is true is absolute rubbish.

It is an unfun pile of shit.
It's also new and attracted a lot of new players that are still working their way through the campaign which is probably the correct explanation of retention numbers.
Both things can be true.
And Jonathan can be a disingenuous, arrogant prick about it all he wants. He's just Ian Hazzikostas for GGG.

I think PoE2's numbers reflect just how many people would've played PoE1 had it not been so "daunting". I think it's mostly the PoE1 "vets" who feel like the game is a pile of unfun shit. The new(er)players have no real comparison context, so the game probably feels fine to them. Hence the retention.
If your only game before POE2 was D4 then yeah, definitely the lesser of two evils.
Just hope they add more complexity and more / stronger passive & atlas nodes like POE1 at some point.

That's not a fair comparison. I think Xevy posted that his 0.2.0 campaign run took him 31 hours as a quite seasoned PoE1 vet and I'm willing to guess had done the PoE2 campaign multiple times before that 31 hour mark. What's the objective way to normalize retention numbers?
