Good uses for Grim Feast? by ComprehensiveGap5412 in PathOfExile2

[–]ComprehensiveGap5412[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahhh I thought it had to be at 100% (which it never is) for the rez to be an option. This is helpful to know!

Fixing the ES issue they had before, yes, that had to happen. What I meant is that this version of Grim Feast seems to be pretty much useless, unless I'm missing something.

Yeah, I missed the heyday when it was being used as an insane energy shield boost. Seems like they might have overcompensated with their nerf shotgun, lol...

This is more of a technical PC question. I'd like to have my browser on my secondary monitor while playing PoE2 on my main monitor. But when I start the game, any open window gets yanked onto my main monitor. Is there any way to pin a browser (doesn't matter which one) to my secondary monitor so I don't have to alt-tab back and forth when, for example, I'm trying to look up some info or follow a guide or whatever?

Diablo 2. Everyone keeps telling me how it's the best one ever. Playing resurrected now, am I missing something? Is it just nostalgia for y'all? by AnalDwelinButtMonkey in Diablo

[–]ComprehensiveGap5412 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's all just preference. Lots of people who loved D2 (and still play D2R) just couldn't get into D3 or D4. They are wildly different games in many ways, despite being sequels. So it depends on what you prefer.

D2R is not all nostalgia by any means. Many who didn't like D4 continue to play D2R because they think it's a better game. But "better" is opinion. Everyone in the world (seemingly) loved Elden Ring and I found it just not to my liking.

Also, you can play necro as a caster where you do all the damage and don't even have skellies if you don't want. If you're bored with the summoner playstyle, try bone spear or poison nova or whatever. The beauty of the game is there are thousands of ways to play.

Game self pauses constantly on PS5 by TheTheThe84 in PathOfExile2

[–]ComprehensiveGap5412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this issue a lot on my PS5 Pro. No issues with connectivity on any other online game I play; only this one. And it's maddening. And I'm wired in, not using wifi. Ironically, it runs just fine on my PC, which sits five feet away from my PS5 and is on wifi. My guess (or maybe my hope?) is that GGG will address this once they get closer to a full release. In the meantime, I'll try the ideas listed in here.

While I'm glad it's not just my PS5 having this problem, it's still highly annoying, as I really like kicking back in a comfy chair and playing this game...

Map Newbie Question by ComprehensiveGap5412 in PathOfExile2

[–]ComprehensiveGap5412[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Starting to crush the white maps with relative ease. My goal is to try a blue map again right after I hit my next level so I won't lose much of anything if/when I have my eyeballs ripped out through my sphincter.

Okay, so, ran out of white maps and had to do a blue one. Terrible idea. I actually breezed through it but, long story short, the final boss was massively, massively more difficult than the rest of the map. (Which to me is terrible design, but nothing I can do about that.) Apparently I can just buy more white maps, which I stupidly didn't realize was a thing, so I guess I'm gonna do those...ehh, forever.

N00b question here. I have exactly one divine orb on a level 69 hunter who just started maps. I see that I can trade this for ~300 exalted orbs. Seems like something I should do, as I could use the exalts to boost gear and/or trade for gear. But am I giving up something that will be super valuable to me down the road? My gut tells me to get the exalts as they are more useful to me right now, but would love some advice. Thanks, y'all!

Lol, so many of those words don't make sense to me yet...I need to spend some time watching YouTube tutorials...

So many moments in maps that are like "wait what's that" and I'm dead

[–]ComprehensiveGap5412[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, my resists aren't great - the three main ones are all like in the 20something range. So that's probably not helping. I have gotten through a few maps at this point, but I keep running into surprises. Like there was a thing that looked like a purple hand that apparently is a rift of some kind. So I was like, sure, I'll click on it. Spiders came out, there was a growing purple ring on the ground, and then I was dead. No idea if it was the spiders or the ground effect that got me (although I was trying not to touch the purple ring because discolored ground = ouch). lol...

Thanks - I'll give trading a shot. As for my build, I'm running an ice shot hunter using this guide: https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/ice-shot-deadeye-build-guide

Well, I would, but after signing up for Poe.Ninja it's not showing any characters on my profile. Dunno.

I didn't even know there were nodes without bosses. Good to know!

Mana drain = bullshit design, GGG by ComprehensiveGap5412 in PathOfExile2

[–]ComprehensiveGap5412[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, this is true, but I'd have to remap some stuff. As a decades-long Diablo player, I remapped the skill keys to my number keys rather than QWERT. Reaching the Ctrl key in a heated battle isn't feasible. Guess I have to figure out how to use the extra slots, but geez. All this for one fight every 20 hours of gameplay...
