If it really works for all the smaller nodes, I'll gladly take the extra inventory space for it
Just hope it isn't nerfed within a day!

I'm still questioning passive counts... I'm not sure people are really plotting out the notables and how little you can travel if we only get 122 as before. its like the passive tree is 20% larger, with 20% more travel nodes. if we don't get 20% more passives, it will be harder to travel across the tree then before.
witch-mind over matter in poe 1. 7 passive points.
witch/sorc- mind over matter in poe2. 14 passive points. its not in exactly the same spot... but if we swapped locations it would be only 9 in poe1, and still 9 in poe 2.
witch-ancestral bond in poe 1. 12 points.
witch-AB in poe 2. 18 points.
CI 11 versus 17
and this is skipping everything, and just shortest travel.
its 11 points to cross the middle of a class in poe1. its 13 in poe2.
its 9 points to cross the outer edge in poe1, 11 in poe2.

Impossible, melee get fucked in every game. The problem is it always ends up being a positional issue and ranged can stand next to bosses just as well as they can stand 30 yards away.

You may be right but we have to wait and see. Early Access seems to be essentially a way for them to get early adoption money while also getting valuable beta feedback.
I know they already said they expect big changes to the passive tree as things progress. As long as they have a fun base game I'll be happy, and I'm sure there will be a decent amount of absolutely busted builds initially as well!

I think most developers have gotten the meele/ranged tradeoff backwards. If they make any accommodation at all they give melee defensive boosts and let ranged do higher damage in exchange for lower defense. IMO it should be the opposite, where the reward for being closer to the enemy is higher damage. Ranged should do less damage because your defense is built into not having to stand next to the damn thing. Basically, output should scale inversely with your freedom to position yourself and ability to attack while doing so.

With the bigger size we're just gonna have to play with it and see how it goes. If feedback is overwhelmingly negative I think they'll change it quickly. Maybe adding wormholes like the atlas tree had would work. They might just intend for us to stick to our area of the tree for the most part though, with larger sacrifices to get stuff farther away.

I'm not sure what reason there is to think it doesn't work like might of the meek does? And they very much includes wheel nodes

IMO, best league of all time, bar none. Loved it. It was this league that cemented PoE as my fav game of all time.

I think just doing a campaign run should be the aim for the first time.
I would not put much effort into the try hard streamers autists who make OP builds with 0 info.
When campaign is done try another class and if theres a guide available then check it out or not.
New game, enjoy the discovery!

The "feel" of the game seems slower than PoE 1 which would be of a help to me. Of course we don't know enough to make things go quicker and such. I'll see, likely not going to fight the download at launch. Someone on reddit posted a priest blessing the servers before launch lol.
I'm starting I think with the ultra uber "random" whatever I click on, it's a new game.

hammer of the gods is the obvious people are looking at for chrono CD Reset. add in ignite, avatar of fire. and the mace nodes around it.
+herald of ash.
probably reachable.
im planning to stick to spells. ice bomb and frost wall are what I'm looking at most atm.
Frost wall in poe2 explodes for damage when it takes damage or is pushed back. also, fortress support makes it a circle cage. so, frost wall cage. then icebomb.tick tick boom. or frost wall+comet. or frostwall+icebolt to pop it.
the heralds in poe2 are not the same.
they are all more attack based.
herald of ash is explode on overkill damage. aoe ignite. any damage. but, then attacks gain 15% of damage as extra fire.
herald of ice is shattered enemies explode for ATTACK damage.
herald of plague is spread poison when killing a poisoned enemy. also hinders. attack or spell.
herald of thunder is coverts 100% of phsy damage to lightning. lit bolts strike the targets around your target for the next 5 attacks after killing a shocked enemy with an attack. buff also gives 1-10 added lit damage.
