I'd be down for sure. Not sure i've ever actually done MP in it. Mostly just slammed my dick in a vice and learned the hard way.So gave this game a go twice starting off doing Hardcore both times and died not to monsters but to fucking ground shit in dungeons. The first time in Act 2 and the 2nd time in Act 3. I am thinking I should just run through normally on softcore to learn the game first before trying HC again. The game has been fun at least for a first play through and reminds me a lot more of Diablo 2 than Diablo 3 did, for a free to play game I can't complain at all.
That being sad I still feel overwhelmed as a casual noob at all the shit in this game, the sheer number of items, currency, skills, and trees are all basic enough that anyone can grasp the basics but the level of complexity is something I am not sure if I want to put the effort into learning or not yet. I haven't spent any cash on the game but if it's worth dropping a few bucks on stash tabs I may do that.
If there are some out there that are really into the game and wouldn't mind making a new character and leveling up I would be down for some party action or just someone to bullshit in our discord and maybe pick up some tips and tricks to the game. I think I am similar to what @Dom said above in that I want to love the game and really get into it but I don't know if I can. If nothing else you have to give it up for these guys actually supporting the game they made, instead of leaving it to rot looking at you Diablo 3 team.
I had to respec for this reason. Went for a 10+ aps instant leech claw build and I can facetank a 4-man red map fortification now.
It's still way more dangerous than the bosses.

Grouping in poe is like being on an acid trip.
I did 20 minutes, had only one offering, finish 2nd phase Izarro. Then:Spend 20 mins in uber lab and get a lag spike on 3rd izaro and 1shot with 6600 life 600es and 3 endurance charges, good times good times.
Fellow noobs, I found the site below very useful in getting started with this game. Normally I want to just freewheel and figure things out myself, this game doesn't really lend itself to that it seems.
Doing much better now than last time I played it (basically was unable to kill any bosses by lvl 50, now I'm 56 and have passed most bosses first try. Syndicate stuff is still hard sometimes though)
The Twilight Strand
How are other brand players dealing with single target? I have Vaal Righteous Fire but it still leaves some dead time. I'm thinking a 4L of Vaal Storm Call or Ball Lightning. Any other suggestions?
Also not sure how to slot in arcane surge. It's really tempting to link it to recall but that also feels like a waste of my shield slot which is Magna Eclipsis.
Otherwise, been extremely enjoying the playstyle. It's autobomber enough and flame dash plus quicksilver seem good enough at this point. It's nice to not have to deal with pathing or attack speed issues with melee movement skills. Just can't help but think I should use fortify.
Aying elementalist. Bonuses from heiro didn't seem like enough and I want to go LL occultist eventually.
Still.enjoying my sceptre build. Only level 60 but so far bosses are absolutely a joke. I haven't transitioned into full sceptre yet (still keeping my zombies for a defensive front line) but once I get my act 8 pets that's probably it.
Have 5 sceptres, 10 zombies, 27ish skeletons when I need them.
First real season so going slow
