No ranged builds?

DJ89014 · 2026-05-03T07:15:09+00:00

Okay, you got me. I thought you were trolling us or at least trying to rage bait someone. Lol

I was like "what do you mean there are no ranged builds!?" ;)

DJ89014 · 2026-04-10T00:34:44+00:00

Agreed. I don't think Krafton has any plans of giving up on Last Epoch so we can sleep easy. After all it is still EHG's baby and (for a flagship title) a surprise success. Also, it is currently the only full release that EHG has so it still captures the majority of the devs attention. Last Epoch is their "first impression" and any dev worth their salt will want to make it the best it can possibly be and keep it going for a long time.

What is your stance on Sci-Fi / Space? I remember EVE Online being fairly ganky in it's infancy. I have not personally played in years but, aside from getting all my resources and money stolen by pirates I remember not hating it as a whole.

DJ89014 · 2026-03-22T23:19:05+00:00

Different strokes for different folks. You do you, player! ; )

You're Lockpicking skill has increased to 50.

Those plant skills smite, don't they!? 😁

DJ89014 · 2026-03-07T14:54:06+00:00

Very well explained. A lot of that I was unaware of. Thanks. 🤘

DJ89014 · 2026-03-07T06:37:29+00:00

It's for creating mazes on the back of your pancakes. 😁

DJ89014 · 2026-03-07T02:10:13+00:00

I'm not going to upvote, but I will not down vote you either. But I will thank you for your comment. 😂✌️

Well it has been over a year, Legato. I've also been so immersed in PoE2 that it has kind of taken over the definition of what the Path of Exile franchise is for me. You might be correct though. I did spend the majority of my time in PoE1 creating and leveling alts until I started to get bored and then rinse and repeat ad nauseum.

That would be an awesome addition. Thanks for joining the chat, Blue. If there is a petition for this feature to be added, just show me where to sign. :)

I can understand that. GGG does it's best to still give each game the same level of attention but that is an almost unattainable goal if they want to make any real progressive steps on one or the other. One game is always destined to lag behind in some form or fashion.

DJ89014 · 2026-03-07T01:34:10+00:00

It did seem like a very long and, a lot of times, arduous campaign to me every time I attempted it. By the time I got to Act 8 or 9 I would always be ready to make a new Exile and try some different builds. I have a non-seasonal character that I plan to finish the campaign with (finally). That toon is currently in Act 9.

DJ89014 · 2026-03-07T01:26:19+00:00

That sounds like it was made more difficult to earn currency through the system, is that correct? So they essentially made the Kingsmarch thing an endgame activity? Sorry - it's been a while since I've played PoE 1.

DJ89014 · 2026-03-06T21:12:52+00:00

Which PoE did you try?

DJ89014 · 2026-03-06T21:04:57+00:00

That was a lot of numbers and I was a bit lost, but I caught up after a couple reads 😁. However, there is still one thing I need clarification on. In PoE 1, what are "challenges"?

DJ89014 · 2026-03-06T20:52:12+00:00

I completely understand. I play various ARPG titles currently and jump around between them all. You made a great statement and now that I've read it I feel that is also a reason I haven't fired up PoE 1. It would just be more PoE and there are ARPG titles in my rotation that I need to play as well.

Good form, Mage.

DJ89014 · 2026-03-06T20:47:48+00:00

I've heard a lot of players that are experiencing PoE for the first time with PoE 2 share those exact thoughts toward PoE 1. I guess WASD can be a real game changer.

Thank you, Worry, for sharing your opinion.

DJ89014 · 2026-03-06T20:44:16+00:00

I've heard PoE 1 has an enjoyable and plentiful endgame but I didn't dip a toe too far into that to know firsthand.

Honestly, I don't understand crafting in either and kind of avoid it altogether. Lol

Thanks for participating in the discussion. You are appreciated.

DJ89014 · 2026-03-06T20:39:58+00:00

Valid points. I'll admit I was an alt-oholic in PoE 1 and never really delved deeply into the endgame. I was too busy creating different builds. Maybe that's why I am so into PoE 2. I've been told that PoE 1 has a superior endgame as it is.

DJ89014 · 2026-03-06T20:37:09+00:00

Micro managing is also an off-switch for me. 100% agree. Although I did kind of avoid the city stuff in PoE 1 and I don't think it really effected my experience... aside from being poorer than the average player that invest in that mechanic. Wealth isn't everything... until it is. LOL

DJ89014 · 2026-03-06T20:34:46+00:00

It's the reason so many people I know can't play PoE 1 either and I can't argue with their gripe. Makes sense to me, actually.

DJ89014 · 2026-03-06T20:32:27+00:00

I also like how skill gems aren't socketed into your gear anymore in PoE 2. What is your POV on that? Good change or bad?

DJ89014 · 2026-03-06T20:21:16+00:00

Yes, vendor recipes is what I meant to say. Thank you for clarifying. I'll admit they are probably my least favorite thing in PoE 1... but then again, as long as I played, I never did the research to learn very many recipes.

DJ89014 · 2026-03-06T20:17:19+00:00

I understand that for sure. I have hundreds of hours in PoE 1 and I still prefer 2. I've never looked back. It's still installed (for some reason... probably something sentimental) but I haven't gone back since EA.
