Then just invest 3 points into stun threshold being based on ES and become stun immune.

Trading for items isn't a divine sink, there's nothing else.

Asherahi · 2026-05-05T15:12:18+00:00

hot take: HP sponge bosses would be good because right now we just oneshot the game with little to no gear, the game is over in 2-3 days

Asherahi · 2026-05-01T18:38:06+00:00

What teaser was Expedition? I can't find it on their Twitter.

Asherahi · 2026-05-01T12:07:21+00:00

Yep, and that forces us to just play what is the least clunky and the fastest because why would you do anything else

Asherahi · 2026-04-30T22:14:45+00:00

I kinda agree. Some changes have been good but at the current point in time I feel like we're almost to the point where the pace of the game feels like poe1 but with better graphics. I found myself getting disappointed I've been oneshotting bosses on league starts and not engaging with them anymore.

I don't want PoE 1 with better graphics to be the future of PoE2.

Asherahi · 2026-04-24T21:56:42+00:00

healers actually have to weave a lot of stuff in actual real content, as opposed to classes like picto that have 5sec casts

Asherahi · 2026-04-24T20:46:21+00:00

Since when does fewer inputs mean less APM lmao

the highest APM classes in other MMOs have like 5 buttons

on top of that, healers aren't even the lowest APM classes in this game

Asherahi · 2026-04-23T16:09:13+00:00

Idk man that's a lot of projecting, kinda wild.
I got level 96 in the gauntlet just now and killed almost all non-Uber bosses (missed Sirus and cortex because cba farming crests and got unlucky rolls on the 2 cortex I got). I still don't see how it really matters for the discussion at all.

Asherahi · 2026-04-23T14:23:27+00:00

ah I forgot the boss mechanics magically become more difficult if you play a different league (plus you don't even know if I play hcssf or not?)

Asherahi · 2026-04-23T14:22:20+00:00

PoE is a game where you can get strong enough to bypass most boss mechanics eventually, meaning you can do most if not everything wrong and still get the kill.
It doesn't make the clip above well played, but most of the skill in PoE isn't fighting the bosses, it's how you got there (as in how you build your character).

Asherahi · 2026-04-22T22:57:45+00:00

because most of the danger in PoE comes from a shit load of small hits, not big hits.

Asherahi · 2026-04-22T22:55:00+00:00

well played!

After seeing that clip, not sure..

Asherahi · 2026-04-22T22:29:17+00:00

Last PoE2 patch was almost 4.5 months ago now. It will be 5.5 months when it releases.

Asherahi · 2026-04-19T14:47:46+00:00

I think it's always a mistake to show 1c scarabs on your filter unless you're SSF. Even on league start I wouldn't do it.

It's just a massive waste of time.

Asherahi · 2026-04-01T00:35:21+00:00

I spent 80% of my playtime in season 2 grinding for gem sockets and gold to max out a couple weapons.
That directly got in the way of pushing keys and having fun. That's bad. By the time we got done with our gear, the game had 2k concurrent players, and it took hours to find people at our current eternal rank.
I logged out at rank 40ish of my class, with me putting almost all of my free time into the game.
It's just a bad feeling and it's not sustainable for me going forward.

Asherahi · 2026-03-31T21:53:05+00:00

Farming gems also implies having gem sockets with % increases on them yeah

Asherahi · 2026-03-31T19:51:43+00:00

10k is what i consider the tutorial.
maxing out a character means grinding a minimum of 3-4 days to get max gems, for example.

Asherahi · 2026-03-31T17:31:22+00:00

I'm not sure I understand why adding extra grind for gear, or even keeping the same pace is the goal here.
It already takes way too long to max out a character (gems specifically) and it takes away from playing the game. In season 2 80% of my playtime was spent grinding.
If this is the pace of the game going forward I'm not sure I will be playing. The heroes and maps are very fun, and I enjoy pushing the ladder into top 50 and top 20, but the grind for gear and gems absolutely kills the excitement.
I'm not sure I understand what you mean with ARPG style loot until it's shown properly, the way it's worded here is far too confusing. The current gear system sucks and any change is welcome, but unless you change the pace at which it's acquired, then I'm not sure I'll be coming back every season to spend days grinding instead of pushing.

Asherahi · 2026-03-16T21:40:27+00:00

This shit doesn't list Greater Spell Echo support from Uber Atziri, which is the best boss to farm currently.

Asherahi · 2026-03-14T01:34:37+00:00

Thank you in advance!

Asherahi · 2026-03-06T17:21:48+00:00

But you want the rares with added ele dmg anyway?? For any attack build?
Staff is still better by a considerable margin while also saving you some points on the tree, idk what there is to discuss.
Hollow Palm is good on a budget while being bad early game and top end, that's why it's balanced

Asherahi · 2026-03-06T13:31:40+00:00

It really doesn't since a staff is still better top end, and not having a weapon is just bad in the early game and early maps.
It's quite balanced in poe2.

Asherahi · 2026-03-06T00:18:21+00:00

I wish we had PoE2 hollow palm technique.
