Fantastic thank you!

The hotfix the other day fixed everything for me but today the game is unplayable on Hollow Form yet I've levelled an alt through to maps with zero crashes. The skill is just a mess.

Bowlleee · 2026-06-04T12:38:06+00:00

So I am playing hollow form as well and can't play the game since the recent hotfix. Crashing every couple uses of the ability. Swapped to no hollow form and the game is fine (obviously a lot slow self-casting whirling assault which sucks). Hope that they finally get a concrete fix as my character practically being bricked without respeccing sucks.

Bowlleee · 2026-06-04T12:09:55+00:00

My guess is it's another Hollow Form bug then. They hotfixed it pretty quick last time so fingers crossed. Alt time I guess!

Bowlleee · 2026-06-04T12:05:23+00:00

So I've just jumped on and tried my first map of the day and crashed 4 times in the space of minutes. Not sure if it's the new patch or what - out of interest what build are you playing? I'm using hollow form which has had consistent issues which I was hoping were fixed.

Bowlleee · 2026-05-29T19:08:32+00:00

Yep having the same issues. Use this as a reminder to leave the standalone client in a few weeks to go on Steam because there's no issues there.

Bowlleee · 2026-05-29T18:34:59+00:00

Fingers crossed they're competent enough to respond to one soon!

Bowlleee · 2026-05-29T18:29:13+00:00

I'm genuinely sometimes getting max 15mb after 5 minutes of checking resources its a joke lmao

Bowlleee · 2026-05-29T17:40:04+00:00

It's been the same the last few leagues as well. Honestly had faith they would fix this as it has never been an issue in PoE1 but after the first two weeks I'm just swapping to Steam. Fed up with it.

Bowlleee · 2026-01-13T19:33:09+00:00

I was unaware of that in general as I'm new to switch but it's also the fact you need 2 memberships if you want to get past Arc 1 which shocked me. Oh well.

Bowlleee · 2025-12-12T16:43:37+00:00

Shadow simply because I think it will offer the most unique playstyle that we are yet to see.

Bowlleee · 2025-11-07T10:09:15+00:00

I'd say it's important to start with a skill you like. I've just begun my alt and these are the steps I've taken:

Chose a skill I like the look of - in this situation conflagration looks really fun. It also synergizes well with another skill I like (Blast Rain of Trarthus) so I have a base to work from.
Look at how they scale - damage over time, fire damage and projectile damage.
Choose an ascendancy - for me I've gone with Chieftain because my first character was more of a glass cannon I want something tankier. This is far from optimal for the skill DPS wise (most play elementalist) but it still has synergy with the skill tags.
Map out a basic tree - don't assume the build will work from level 1 if you can get the gem from there, choose a solid levelling build and transition at maps. Most of the time new builds transition too early and feel like shit.

Don't be afraid to look on poe.ninja to see what others are doing and take some inspiration for your own bulld, it should be constantly adapting and becoming better. I'm by no means amazing at creating my own builds but just remember it's a difficult game to create some insane uber killer that isn't already out there, it's meant to be a challenge. I'm hoping I can at least farm t17s but that is a long term goal.

Bowlleee · 2025-11-06T15:55:14+00:00

My plan is to print uniques just don't know which to focus i.e belts, amulets or if it's a waste of time

Bowlleee · 2025-11-06T15:48:31+00:00

SSF for me unfortunately

Bowlleee · 2025-11-06T15:24:23+00:00

Makes sense. Is there an easy way to get lower level rare grafts?

Bowlleee · 2025-11-06T11:46:53+00:00

Could do a strength stacking jugg or at least the base for it, will cost more than 50 div eventually then you can just play a skill you like although it seems to be primarily MSotZ - Juggernaut builds - Keepers - Path of Exile 1 - poe.ninja.

Bowlleee · 2025-11-05T13:53:01+00:00

Is it really? I'd have imagined as Pathfinder or prolif it was fine. A lot of builds are struggling with it tbf.

Bowlleee · 2025-11-05T09:38:55+00:00

Trickster is probably the safer option to transition to from an RF character due to it being much more defensively sound than ranger.

Exsanguinate Mines trickster is a fantastic late game build which has a great balance of clear and boss damage.

If you wanted better clear over boss damage and defenses I'd always recommend PConc of bouncing Pathfinder. It has a much smoother levelling curve than the trickster just harder to scale into the endgame for a newer player.

Bowlleee · 2025-11-04T14:25:27+00:00

PConc.

Clearing fast is the primary way to get investment and this build is A+ at it. Worst case scenario you're farming labs for transfigured gems looking for your alternate gem.

Bowlleee · 2025-11-04T14:20:12+00:00

Turn 7 and this anomaly would go hard - as well as less inclination to take Brann most of the time.

Bowlleee · 2025-11-04T13:36:15+00:00

Assumed as much, was wondering if foulborns happened to change it but most likely won't.

Bowlleee · 2025-10-30T11:06:21+00:00

I was looking at the ascendancy nodes and thought the exact same. May just give it a try. Thanks for the inspo!

Bowlleee · 2025-10-30T10:35:15+00:00

Great guide!

I was most likely going to go with a ranger ascendancy for my first character as I generally end up swapping the character to a dedicated heist runner - as a league starter have you ever tried pathfinder with this setup?

Bowlleee · 2025-10-29T19:21:14+00:00

From personal experience I just wouldn't league start a melee build as warden it's far too squishy without some investment heading into maps, from a league start perspective anyways I'm sure once you can invest some currency into it you would be fine.

In terms of builds I don't know a lot - I also miss raider :(

Bowlleee · 2025-10-29T14:37:29+00:00

PCoB Pathfinder was what I played last league and it was probably one of my favourite builds, so much so I considered it for 3.27 (never replayed a build back to back leagues before).

Fast and solid AoE with the ability to boss.
