New POE player here. Tried POE 1 for just a few weeks prior to POE 2 EA release. I'm surprised how brutal POE 2 is. Mobs swarm, hit harder and there is little room for mistake. The difficulty curve is high.
@joshk6929 yeah except you have a dodge roll that makes you immune 😏 🤣. Every complained about melee in this game, I played a warrior and I have zero issues until I got to chaos temple for my ascendancy then it got really, really hard lol
One note you forgot to mention on early ascendancy, don't go Blood Witch early, wait till you can get 4 points. The Sanguimancy passive destroys most builds due to lack of health, life leech and mana expensive witch spells. It also provides absolutely no bonuses worthwile as spells now cost Health equal to the mana, on top of spending the actual mana. With how stat modifiers work from passives/gear it is almost impossible to get high crit chance early on to gain enough health orbs during fights (especially boss fights).
I took Sanguimancy with only two points and my health has been fine so far. I even get enough orbs to go several hundred past my max health quite a bit.
Bro said the trial was easy. It's quite obvious he's not playing melee and did not do it right away. I'm a veteran souls player and am used to tough games. That shit was tough.
@stephenEs3532 i know 12 year olds are posting all over and in game, but many of us are solid veterans. I play HC POE1, Diablo1/2 HC player. This game is hard. It's ruthless poe in diablo 2 form.
This video is helpful for people who literally didnt read a single line of text in-game, then went and posted about how this is literally DARK SOULS /s
0:48 Sometimes the scepter innate ability might be what they are losing, but there is an also a bug. The persistent minions can sometimes just not respawn, ever. I found no way to fix it, I checked skill requirements, support gems, gear, there was no reason for them to not respawn. I had to start a new character and I am just crossing my fingers it doesn’t happen again. To those it also happened to, you’re not crazy lol
With the latest patch resetting maps is not as good as it was at start. GGG saw the loophole and has closed it: You can still reset maps, but the loot of bosses will be of lower quality, so you cannot farm endlessly anymore for legendary or unique items.
Gambling random weapons went very good for me - the first and the only bow i bought so far (for 460 gold) was golden bow with raw dmg, lightning dmg, attack speed and +2 not that important stats. As fully focused on lightning damage ranger i can not ask for more😂 i guess this is my bow till end game now :)
This game looks fun but I know my brain cannot process all of that like the gems the buff/debuffs different number percentages all the different tabs ……Shit gives me anxiety
take your time... you can slowly move around the map... test items out... see how they make you live longer, or do more damage. dont neglect survivability over damage since you can be very fragile.
Wait till the release and then it's completely free. Plus, you're probably better off waiting because (in my opinion) the game's balancing is a bit off right now.
It's actually much much easier to understand than poe1. Poe1 was too complicated and didn't explain it well. By act 2 you will understand the gems and such
tried the trials over 60 times over a 2 day period, i am just unable to do it and my game is kinda locked now, im level 32 witch and this is taking the fun out of the game for me
Hi, I would like to give you some advice for a next video since I hear a lot of people complaining about Play drop, a really useful statistic that a lot of people are not considering, eh, the % rarity drop that different objects have, including rings, helmets and so on. I managed to raise this % to 50% and the difference was ABYSMAL. In just 2 runs I got a whopping 2 uniques and six exalted orbs, so I tell you that you should make a video about it.
@@Rofo89 yeas was somehow expecting that. Same as every game. It’s 50% of an already small percentage number. That being said, those drops aren’t that bad. Were you running the atlas late game maps?
take a range friend with you - we did that for all our melee friends. You avoid dmg and try to survive, they kill the boss. With a duo it works best. Trio is tricky because of the honour.
You either need to take friend or do it couple of times , wait for good relic drop ...i did it on 1st try on warrior only thanks to the fact that i had sone sacred water and room before boss was one of those that can give you some buff and random curse ...and i got "unable to be damaged until end of next room"
I just finished act 1 with a warrior, 100% focused on damage attack. Defeated the final boss in two tries. It's not that bad, but I'm playing on standard. Also not sure how bad is in act 2 onwards
Stun warrior seems OP. when im in a party of 4 (one warriro) there seems to be a bug in which bosses get stunned wayyyy more than normal. I mean a full stun every few seconds. Not really sure whats happening but it doesnt seem to happen with 3 or less players.
Don't forget to un-map the micro transactions button!! By default they have it as "M". So you know, what everyone "might" click to see Map. It's important! You open that and you might buy stuff you don't need.......
All by design. One thing i hate about PoE2 but again it's kinda free even tho it was 29.99. It is scummy. How every game is M for map, but it's the MicroStore for PoE, lmao
Bro the game feels really hard to play as Warrior and even as Monk. I made a Mercenary and the game feels like it's on easy mode I still have not died to a boss as a ranged class.
I have a lvl 11 monk. Focused on evasion and energy shield/recharge rate. Haven't died much at all. Melee builds are just forced to build survivability until they have enough dmg
Trials was easy? tried 5 times, and it’s not just retrying a boss fight, it’s a miniature rogulite run lol the trials were very hard, completed with a monk.
It’s obvious he’s playing a broken build that just deletes stuff. I tried the trials at lvl 23 and it destroyed me on my ice sorc. The rng of the trials is complete ass along with the death crystals on console. If you get a room with death crystals on console, your dead you can’t activate the crystals if there is any enemies around you which is ass!
I don't understand the gems...i have stomping ground now but can't use it on any ability i got........... even there is complitely listet that it works with 70% of my attacks but naaaa can't put it on there...no where 😂😂😂
You are not a true warrior im all strength and it deletes bosses 💪 skill speed is op 2nd act final boss was a pain only cuz i had to roll my a$$ off with the spam bs
@justice4g do the feythorn boss king of the mists, you get an item that you consume to permanently give you 30 spirit which is already enough for a summon, also chest armor and amulets can roll with +spirit like between all my gear I have 198 spirit at lvl 22.
@@r3playyyy I was considering buying this but then I read reddit and apparently there's the common consense that poe2 currently suffer from the exact same problems as d4 had at launch. Unrewarding loot, empty maps, bulletspongee bosses and boring campaign. But this time it's more painful because poe1 is actually pretty fucking good. I'm sure they'll fix it but I don't have the mental capacity rn to test a half finished product.
Game needs tuning, I am a casual sorceress, level 8 get smoked by all the bosses and big pulls. Only staff i have seen is the one I was given at the start, seen 1 orb to upgrade it. The rest has been mail, leather , tones of shields and quarter staff. Game is way to frustrating. Zero progression and seems like I need to farm the starting area to level up and hope for a drop. Looks great otherwise.
I am witch and I get tons of wands and tons of staves too. I know that doesn't help you, but it might just be some really bad luck for you. I also get a bunch of orbs, you gotta disenchant and dismantle gear you don't need to get more orbs and those types of things.
Pick up everything. You can portal back to town whenever so there's basically no reason not to take everything and sell or dismantle it. If you find gear with sockets keep it in your stash until you can break it down because adding sockets to gear is HUGE. Same with gear that says "quality x%" you can break it down and get a crafting item that will give any item you want quality, which raises the stats. I've had little issues with progressing or loot on a monk, I just full cleared all the maps and found build synergies In my skills that helped a ton. Don't be reluctant to watch some other videos about crafting or things you should know.
ya the supppoort jem section doesn't work like then when useg controller. it lists ALL avaibul support jems not just the ones that work with the selected skill, so I've created a support that I couldn't use at all......
Why 80% of the boss is a challenge, why have to use the vendor, drops are bad? And how much gold is needed to get 1 piece of gear ? These are game’s issues, not the players.
You shouldn't just be dodging without weaving in attacks, I mean you can but your fights will take considerably longer. In other games like Lost Ark you just wouldn't be able to clear the boss if you just dodged and didn't attack inbetween.
TIP: press ctrl+(click on item) = fast sell or move items from inventory to stash :)
I needed that so bad lol
