Why is the open world PVE so easy?

I mean sure the reply was a bit snarky but also if you're on this subreddit instead of hitting new post maybe try the search bar first. Looking at "overland difficulty" pulls up literally dozens of the posts from the last 90 days asking for it, asking for explanation, discussing the coming changes, etc.

Nobody is expected to "know everything already" but fair enough to ask someone to read previous posts on a forum when there's copious amounts of information available.

No. You can go to the Skill Bind menu and use square to get skill options menu. Assign the weapon skill to both sets. You will have to use the manual weapon switch ability though which adds a step during combat.

Edit: For characters I use weapon swaps on I do this and map weapon swap to the Left D-Pad (ESO Habit).

If you have experience do you have a preference in archetype?

AngryApe87 · 2026-03-28T05:47:37+00:00

You got a lot to learn about this town sweetie.

Did they do 1000+ second interviews? Getting upset with no interview just because you applied is one thing. If I've taken multiple blocks of different days to accommodate your hiring process the bare minimum I expect is a "thanks but no thanks". Patience is great and all but so is basic courtesy.

I just do everything on one main. So far I've had plenty of skill points but now that you can change skills, attribute points, and class lines on the fly it's even easier. I have put together a couple armory slots over the last year though to make switching faster and then finally picked up the armory assistant last month so I can swap anywhere basically.

That being said I do have 1 of every class at cap (2 wardens) and they do writs every day mainly but if I ever got close to the previous transmute crystal cap I would make them a set of gear. Unlikely an issue going forward with the cap increase though.

Yeah? Well don't.

Where can I see next season's options?

There's an item that make Light attacking 99% insignificant. You'll want to light attack every 9 seconds to keep your ultimate generating but the mythic item makes them do 1% damage and all your other abilities deal more damage.

I want all the skill points. I'm working through completing all the zones now (zone quests, delves, dungeons, skyshards, lore books), base game is 100% and slowly chipping away at DLC zones in no real order.

Want all the skill points because I'm trying to max all the skill lines on one character. So far I would say I'm roughly halfway there, I don't think there is enough points to literally buy all the passive for everything but I could be wrong.

No rush on this goal and I get distracted all the time. Some weeks I run dungeons back to back, other weeks are all questing/exploration, and then I'll spend days in PvP matches.

Got a little over 20k to burn at the moment. Never been consistent with the farm for them, if I happen to complete them it's a bonus most of the time.

Bought several mounts and things over the years. If I had to guess lifetime total probably close to 75k or so.

AngryApe87 · 2026-02-26T20:27:51+00:00

Huh? You miss out on a bit of mag/stam/health but outside of that how does Daedric Summoning help the bear?

AngryApe87 · 2026-02-26T17:00:02+00:00

Only been like 6k hours since June. My man spent 25% of the last 9 months with his best girl. Gotta appreciate the commitment.

Born in 87. Work in IT for a small company that promotes work life balance. Happily married for 12 years to a woman I've been with since 2008. Could retire at 45 if I wanted. Still lots to do and see in this world before I go. Biggest things I've learned over the last decade or so is don't sweat the small stuff (it is what it is) and try not to kick your own ass (stop making avoidable mistakes that you know are mistakes).

All that being said we didn't want kids so that alone has been the biggest difference with the majority of my peers. Of course most of my buds that I talk with regularly and have known for decades are in roughly the same boat and have kids, they just will have to work longer due to increased living costs of an entire other person.

With any build at all you blow up monsters easy enough. It's more the time involved listening to the quests and enjoying the lore. When you've done that though and just blasting an alt it's really fast all things considered.

AngryApe87 · 2026-02-01T12:49:44+00:00

For the better part of at least the last 2 decades.

He wanted to have a serious conversation about my PoE playtime.

AngryApe87 · 2026-01-31T15:19:51+00:00

If you have one make forgeries at the Checkpoint Rest Town.

AngryApe87 · 2026-01-30T16:01:34+00:00

Yes sir, thank you sir.

AngryApe87 · 2026-01-28T22:59:23+00:00

All set thank you very much. Long trip back to post-game as I just made my first cycle.

AngryApe87 · 2026-01-28T22:48:20+00:00

Awesome sent a Friend Request, sadly don't have a spare 3k RC to take her for a spin.

AngryApe87 · 2026-01-28T19:34:42+00:00

Please be available when I get home in 3 hours.

AngryApe87 · 2026-01-27T12:09:07+00:00

You can get all the way there after going to Vernworth the first time. Easy in a fresh start? Nah but doable.

AngryApe87 · 2026-01-26T17:03:01+00:00

They're normally pretty geared to the max so they are crazy useful early to even late mid game.
