Here is my strat: I'm gonna load up the game and pick whatever looks cool to me, and figure it out along the way! Trying to not watch too many PoE2 spoilers and going in blind. Super hyped tho
@ that’s good. Even more time to watch videos then. I’m starting to feel better and better about the fact that I will be sleeping at the time of launch. Come on 4 hours later after the servers finally come online. Ahhhh, good copium there.
Ziggy moused over an ascendency point of Legionnaire for a few ms in his latest video. It was: "1% increased fishing line strength". Fishing is obviously going to be overpowered, so I cannot resist and have to try the Gemling boy ;]
Finding out PoE2DB exists was super helpful. After seeing all the gems, I'm thinking of building around the cold-based crossbow gems. Seems to have a good amount of gems that support that build. I do hope we will get all the ascendancy passives revealed before launch. Monk or deadeye might be better for that than a mercenary.
I played meta builds/followed guides up until Affliction, mostly ranged builds including some of your bow guides. Switched to Flicker after Affliction and have played it since. Monk Gang!
I already theorycrafted my mercenary from what we know. Or at least the core concept. Then I go wildcard with Gemling ascendancy. My concept is Crossbow: High Velocity shot to eat broken armour, Gas grenade with corrosion support for continued armour break, flash grenade for control. Mace and shield: to shield charge out of danger. Resonating shield to turtle and break armour. Scavanged plating for getting armour and thorns from breaking armour. Bind spectre to get a good minion.
Got a free key so gave it to my friend who never played poe before. Gonna try to carry both of us without any guides and teech him whatever basics got carried over. Its gonna be awesome
@ Connor is think about achmage sorc too, especially if that increased effect of arcane surge per # of mana ascendancy node is real on the storm weaver. He’s also thinking of hammer of the gods ignite build since ignite is scaled off of 20% of a hit.
Click a sorceress, cast some elemental spells that seemingly go together well(not ball lightning archmage right of the bat, just played that 3 months ago until my wrist hurt), figure out stuff along the way
I absolutely think part of the charm of PoE is theorycrafting and buildcrafting. Going in blind works for some games but I dont really play PoE for the combat or the story if you get me
ill do a merc converting phys to fire, having a ballista setup with a ton of attck speed with a quillrain and then go heavy on machinegun on st. not sure if it will be good but thats my initial route
Good vid Snoo... kinda the same thought process that I go through even when I'm starting with someone else's build and reworking it to fit what I want to do. I'm pretty stoked about the game!
My strategy is going something idiot proof 1st build, like Titan slammer, then after I have a grasp of how things work and some currency to work for go for testing other silly stuff like maybe a spellcasting legionnaire
Legionaries has to be one of the most broken end game ascendancy reminds me of when king of the mist first came out :0 that one ascendancy that gave you insane early game was nuts and good late game the name eludes me. Legionaire gives me that late game
Thanks for the great video. Will definitely go monk as well. Regarding the Chayula ascendency, how are you planning to get mana leech on your build? Just with the normal notables on the tree? And/or will you also be using the mana support-gems to assist?
I'll likely either do MoM or keep Energy Shield. It depends on if all the good ES nodes affect it pre-converted for MoM. I'm also looking forward to the remaining ascendancy point reveal (if it happens). Haven't looked super hard into the supports still. I'll have to do that on stream tomorrow.
@@snoobae8553 If I'm not mistaken, there is one mana leech support, and another one that recovers. There's also a buff I think. What time are you streaming tomorrow? Your schedule doesn't say.
@@snoobae8553when you say pre converted if you're refering to boosting ES before converting it into mana Eldrich Battery doesn't do that anymore. It's been reverted back to moving your ES to protect your mana. Which takes it from amazing to absolutely terrible unfortunately lol.
Yo been waiting for u to post a video. Since im more of YT than Twich! Im gonna stick with Ranger just stuck between Poison for smoother campaign and less weapon reliability (more toxic rain/ costic arrow style ) or Lighting to get the accuracy ascendancy and more LA play style
I bet you’ll see other’s creator’s stuff on a variety of builds in the coming days, all of it lacking the full picture. But you can always explore theory crafting it for yourself.
Dark monk intrigues me but one thing I haven't seen an answer for.. stun. Going with darkness we don't want to rely on energy shield as losing ES loses darkness. We're also basically forced to mind over matter because losing life also loses darkness. And thus it would be silly not to take chaos inoculation. This means we want evasion or armour for mitigation. But it also means we have no life and little to no ES. Soo.. won't we have a really really bad stun threshold? I feel like MoM should also use mana to calculate stun threshold. But if it doesn't I fail to see how we deal with it unless it happens to form part of the other node behind embrace the darkness. 🤷
@snoobae8553 It would be strange if they've overlooked it given MoM is the obvious setup for darkness. But if they have given how popular it seems to be for people trying it out I have faith they'll sort it out. Ideally I'd like to see the darkness node itself simply also state "X% of your mana is added to your stun threshold". As it stands that node on its own does nothing good and removes all of your spirit, which is really bad until you can get the next node. Either that or bake in the added chaos damage to embrace and replace that node with stun threshold from mana. That way people can choose between it or ES leech using ES for stun threshold still. That said I believe there's a node that gives you some ES per Dex or evasion so maybe we're expected to take that and stuns are just meant to be our weakness.
@@snoobae8553 praying rathpith is in the game. or some other uniques that are similar. considering idk how we're going to get 100% crit w/o diamond flask/zealotry etc etc.
I expect it to feel more like a quick rotation of skills. All the footage I've seen even from devs seems slower paced, like they're not well-practiced and distracted anyway from the show & tell nature of it.

Bravo!
I've watched like everything 😂 game has me in a choke hold , but same gameplan
then die repeatedly to act one first checkpoint boss, then load up a 10 videos and watch intently.
My strat is to watch all these videos to prepare log in and DC into a 500k queue 😂

Just gonna copy whatever Connor or Lance is doing tbh, neither have ever steered me wrong
Seems like Lance is going arch-mage sorc and Connor said something about chonk

Monk gang rise up. I'll probably quickly re-roll ranger, but still like the idea or concept of monk.
Any confirmation about does Exile's pilfering ring work in poe2?
Good question. I’d hope so.

Keep in mind we haven't seen all the ascendancy nodes yet. One may include mana leech for all we know.
@@Nikky9s I don’t really operate on a set schedule as I work part time and dedicate some days to just TH-cam videos. It’ll be around 4 hours from now.

Hi there, where I would be able to see builds on other classes like a Xbox or ranger ?
I bet you’ll see other’s creator’s stuff on a variety of builds in the coming days, all of it lacking the full picture. But you can always explore theory crafting it for yourself.

Yeah, well stun will only be a major issue with Mind over Matter. I was hoping we'd get some extra tools to deal with it in the case of going MoM.
@snoobae8553 It would be strange if they've overlooked it given MoM is the obvious setup for darkness. But if they have given how popular it seems to be for people trying it out I have faith they'll sort it out.
Ideally I'd like to see the darkness node itself simply also state "X% of your mana is added to your stun threshold".

The monk in the footage use Fliker strike and Avatar ascendency for sure
sorceress ice nova frostbolt or ball of lighting archmage will do for me for the start. You cant change asendency so choose wisely.
witch life stacking. the witch ascendacies seem OP.
Blood Mage was high on my list for sure.
@@snoobae8553 praying rathpith is in the game. or some other uniques that are similar. considering idk how we're going to get 100% crit w/o diamond flask/zealotry etc etc.
My plan: we have at least 6 months to test everything we need before the the first league AKA the release of the game.
Yeah, I think a lot of people will treat this like the official launch, still.
Holy, I basicly have the exact same build toughts as you have. Eventough ice monk seems strong I am gonna figure out a power charge / lightning build.
Electrocution as a new ailment entices me as a sub for freeze.
Look at swapping flicker with the new lightening warp😊
very interesting and helpfull video, thanks snoo!
nice1 Snoo is a great ideea ty for information
Going in blind, i dont have energy to theorycraft without pob or with pob i just want to play and chill
Sorry i won't be able to watch this one, trying to go in as blind as possible. But here some engagement.
I want play spear so bad!
Hmmm no Huntress, but you could play spear anyway. Quarterstaff is the next best thing.
The first play, do not plan anything... Just play and hit your head on the content. You gonna have more fun like this
I won’t. The with that.
getting some d4 vibes here, they are forcing u to use this for 20 seconds to be able to flickerstrike for 5 , meeh
