I did the reroll from caster to deadeye too and my experience is the very same as Steelmage. Deadeyes are insane, they have access to the best defenses in the game (evasuon and movement speed). I didn't have gear to twink levelling and even then compared to sorc, the campaign is trivial. Cleared ultimatum underlevelled as well. I shudder whenever I remember how the game was for sorc when flamewall can't carry your damage anymore and you are too low level to get good triggers, those were painful times indeed
When you take bone prison with a caster you have almost no issues with any mobs, except bosses. For bosses as a caster you either are in demon form and it feels almost like cheating due to the ridiculous movement you get with the demon form dodge or you take blink/teleport (whatever it is called) that now lets you teleport around the map and through mobs and boss mechanics + traps. Like I took witch to T8 maps and now playing deadeye. Deadeye has much worse defenses than my full glascannon witch that also had 20-30% live degen/s due to demon form on bosses.
Told them Pathfinder was S Tier too, laughed at me. But immunity to slows, freezes is bonkers in PoE2, especially when you consider that this game has 90% more ground AOE garbage than the first one
@@Nukestarmaster I only play a couple of hours everyday since launch. Just finished act 2. Now I am afraid to continue inb4 another nerf patch to my freeze monk
I made my own diy shock sorceress and invested all my passive- and ascendancy points into as much shock chance as possible. Now, after this nerf, killing trash mobs in maps has become a drag and I'm not sure if I even want to continue playing PoE 2.... I don't have that much time to play and getting through the campaign was already very exhausting. Not saying PoE 2 is a bad game or anything, but I'm sure I'm not the only player they're losing right now.
Yea the cast on support gems are basically useless and you really struggle to stay alive. Sorc needed that dmg because it was literally the only reason she was good.
Im not touching the game again till they let us respec for free during beta. Spending tons of resources and time to have ur build struggle against trash mobs post nerf isn’t an engaging gameplay loop.
It's not even deadeye though, its bows. Bows have good skills and scale off of weapon damage instead of gem level. Monk is insane as well but its melee so people like it less. Grenades are popping off too. Warrior could be good but mace skills are all ass.
@@paulm1237 This. In POE1, we would go out of our way to reduce the number of buttons to press in builds. In POE2, GGG's intention is to force us to use multiple buttons. Which is a big reason why I don't think I'll touch POE2 again anytime soon. The other big reason being that I'm not playing through that awful campaign again.
It's enough that you can buy 1-2 really good things as you find them, easily. What you don't want is that there is so much gold as you level that you can get whatever you want. What you dont want is that you can frivolously spend the gold on a minor upgrade and not be punished for not saving for that really good vendor rare some time later. You should be making deliberate conscious choices, not buying out the vendor stock on a whim.
Bro playing sorc was horrible close to end act2 and beyond. My fire sorc only changed to cof much later after that terrible experience, it was hell. Then when i finally switched to cof, i got to play 2 hours with it. Went to bed and the next morning my build was broken. Had to start a monk now, and having a blast
After playing Monk, Sorcerer, and then Deadeye, here's what I can say: leveling a Monk was a pain in the neck. Even with full gear and gems, he feels as weak as wet paper. As for the Sorcerer, she was my first character, and I think she becomes godlike once she reaches archmage. But before that? She’s clunky. Lightning Sorcerer is weak at low levels, doesn't have any damage. Ice Sorcerer is slow and clunky since all her damage relies on combos. While that’s manageable during the acts, it becomes a real struggle in the endgame. To me, ice Sorcerer feels like a ranged warrior in terms of speed-especially after the patch. And Deadeye? She’s insanely smooth, not just during the acts but in the endgame too. How is that even possible? Maybe deadeye is GGG’s most favored child. XD
Playing monk with the chaos ascendancy, having a blast. Speced into mana leech to energy shield leech, with darkness node. Tanky as hell. Had fun with melee all the way since start, not sure why people are saying melee isnt fun. Most fun I have had in a game since forever
The loot drop is much bigger during leveling because you dont have a crafting bench anymore to craft suffix and prefix during leveling. So the loot is so you can just try crafting yourself. I do feel like they should bring back the crafting bench
You’re getting same currency not better loot. You farm for better gear and more gold in maps. It makes sense that everyone can have fun crafting regardless of levels.
Things could be worse, you could be playing Bloodmage Hexblast and one doesnt work and the other gets Giga nerfed. Meanwhile monks and rangers are running around obliterating several screens without any nerf XD
@@omegaxtrigun I didn't play a single meta build, and yet my characters were all killed by patches. GGG doesn't know how to do targeted nerfs, they just nuke things from orbit.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed you get more drops in a1-2 than you do in maps. It might actually be worth to just keep rerolling characters to stock up on exalts, cuz once I hit maps their drops just STOPPED.
Damn steel, I hate to be that guy, but maybe you just got shit loots on the sorc? I did the second trial at 38 on spark without issue and I even accidentally went ES recoup from ele damage for my first. Act 2 was pain for sure though. Lance seems to have a solid archmage sorc setup though
Did no one Listen to ggg when they said the very last thing they did was build the end game, literal weeks before release? Why is anyone surprised by balance?
It's so sad that the actual gameplay feels amazing in PoE2, meanwhile the systems feel like absolute ass. All of them. Damage, defense, crafting, gold, respecing, the skill tree with all % up and no flat anywhere so you don't notice it until you up your weapon. Can't believe 25 people who made LE came up with a better crafting system than GGG.
There are so many things in this current build that "feel really, really, really awful"...almost as if they hadn't play tested their game before EA. Perhaps, they saw paid play-testing as a better way forward. I'm sure the bosses are very happy.
its so fucked i playhed melee hated it didnt wanna do one of those broken builds then get nerfed so i respeced to sorc then they fucking nerf sorc and it wasnt even that good in the first place and im midway through campaign i think im just done till the game is out fully. i was going to respec deadeye or witch hunter cus i saw u playing deadeye and asmon playing merc or deadeye and thought this is night and day compared to how leveling on melee and sorc went for me ima give that a try but i already know it will be nerfed next and ill be in the same boat
LOL im leveling a sorc and act 2 and 3 are a breeze. it is so much easier than my ranger. im playing a spark firewall build with double shock cast on shock. im nuking everything. killing act bosses in under 1 min. its so easy. dont know why you had so much trouble.
First time playing poe ...i'm playing sorc frost ..sorry to say you are doing something wrong my char destroying the cruel diff ..and if i will get better loot i think i will be ready for the endgame

This is getting nerfed next. I know because I'm about to respec into it.
sorry for your loss! XD
Already playing it and i know its coming
Just play what like.
wait until he finds out Deadeye also uses the lighting spells better then sorc as well.
Its just refreshing to know, that someone enjoys the Transistor sounstrack as much as me. What a masterpiece!
This is what you all get for saying Deadeye was F tier before early access released
Told them Pathfinder was S Tier too, laughed at me. But immunity to slows, freezes is bonkers in PoE2, especially when you consider that this game has 90% more ground AOE garbage than the first one
Tbf I don’t think anyone was saying it was f tier but more so that it’s literally just deadeye pathfinder from poe 1
watching dead eyes get free easy damage and movement speed while blood mages just get shafted non stop is crazy
Rerolled yesterday because it was so ass ☠️ played CoF for literally 45 minutes before it got nerfed lmfao
ggg has a history of sucking at balancing stuff. OR they do it on purpose who knows
@@ashthepup6715 same as me, was playing lighting, it was ass so i switched to CoF and got nerfed a day later
@@ianrambaldi2318 literally exactly what I did lol. Was doing arc crit and wanted to swap hahahaha

Following to PoE2 Top 1000 Ladder Class Distribution, Deadeye is at top (327/1000 ~ 32.7%), so maybe...maybe...nerfs are coming to Deadeye.
Link to ladder?
It's not even deadeye though, its bows. Bows have good skills and scale off of weapon damage instead of gem level. Monk is insane as well but its melee so people like it less. Grenades are popping off too. Warrior could be good but mace skills are all ass.
Idk better nerf sorc again.
if poe 1 history shows sth is that they always let one broken ass build in the game without nerfing it for months.
Should have rerolled gemling archmage. Its gona be a banger once i finish my build in like 2 or 3 months lol
100 Lightning arrow deadeye is next on the choppingblock.
wym next this contents old LA already got nerfed

This made me start playing again. Thx Steel!!
these clips sure take a while to get to TH-cam
I am also levelling a Deadeye and Gas Grenades seems to be infinitely more damage, and that's on a SSF setup
ain't this footage after they did the loot drop update?
They really should lower the cost of respeccing, and vendor prices are a little too high early on.

Happy i farmed 900k from 1 to 71. You can save alot of money with respeccing if you do it correct
Time to reroll again, deadeye killed just like cold sorc
How
@ 40% nerf in the latest patch
funny that he thinks this ranger build is broken when the poison gas one is even more broken lol
Why Pierce and not Fork?
GGG is really making sure fun is not happening in this game
Lol okay overreacting
100k gold says it's being nerfed by Monday. Im going to need that gold for the respec.
Seems like if you’re having fun in a newer game it’s only because the devs made a mistake.
Played sorc off the rip. Ended up rerolling minions once my sorc was at the end of act 2. Minions was WAY better
Uncut support gems. Just remove the check mark to get other support gems for your preferred skills
You’re getting same currency not better loot. You farm for better gear and more gold in maps.
It makes sense that everyone can have fun crafting regardless of levels.
My warrior needed 10+ tries on ultimatum😭
So what you're saying is this is basically PoE1 but now you're pressing two buttons instead of one
