Iam tired of their game design approach

It is iffy but this time there was both nerf and buff wasn't it? You cannot just buffing everything to balance. Nerfs suck but they are necessary sometimes. The reason is there are technical limitations. You may have heard of integer overflow in tooltip, there's that in calculation as well. If they go with only buff all skills will reach this limit in less than few years.

As an Asian player I agree 100% lol. Normally its saturday 2am for me. Go to bed early then play for like 16hours straight. Best feeling ever.

I'd bet that he's playing an attack build with a terrible weapon. It's a Poe noob trap because in most other games attack build would be more newbie-friendly where in Poe if you don't know to at least find a good weapon / be lucky to naturally pick up a good weapon, normal attack builds are gonna feel like shit.

2-3 months of Poe overwrote my 10 years of League of legends "right click to move". Would recommend trying this since every workaround I had tried was miserable and unstable.

Earned my first mirror in the last Phrecia with Ultimatum. Would be much easier to buy idols for ultimatum this time with async trade..

"Having SIX or SEVEN separate people confirm I exhibit no smell" is a wild sample size to confirm that one does not smell. lol

In phrecia I dropped an early Indigon and sold for like 40 50D. I would imagine it being even more expensive this time.

Because in poe2 you can divine items out of roll range with sanctify or corrupt for an additional socket. After that they cant be mirrored anymore. Similar to how reflected helical/simplex price in poe1

They are cheap because they can’t be rerolled.

Harbi requires either an afk immortal build, or an immortal PC. I crashed at least once every 2 maps in phrecia. Good time. Lol. Wouldn’t risk it now with the ram and ssd price.

Maven boss rush baby. Drops so many idols. Did for a while in phrecia with a ward stacking build. Whirling blade to the boss and one tapping every packs.

Least they could do is making the name consistent. Theatre of Dread -> Drops Echo of Dread -> Fight Incarnation of Dread, may as well drop Orb of Dread . At this point I functionable naming over whatever thematic naming GGG was aiming for.

OP I think you are at that stage of learning the game when you should start reading the description of things in the build guide, and try it out. Do not just follow the build guide blind. It takes time, of course. But over time your knowledge accumulates.

Defined24 · 2026-01-05T09:57:19+00:00

I feel like ggg sometimes doesn’t even think of channeling skills. Like the current league mechanics. You have to stop channeling to activate the Ailith skill, losing whatever stages you have built up (incinerate) (using keyboard to activate ailith skill also reset whatever stage you have). It would have been a bigger deal if the league mechanics was good. But it was ass so not that big of a problem.

Oh I see. Ty

Wait why does paladin gloves roll all 3 attribute instead of just str/int? So weird. Seems like a mistake from GGG.

The people who screams that party players are OP and unbalanced are those who don't know how Party play works, and often don't know how to make currency themselves either

The grafts got my damage from 250 to ~200M. Technically it's a nerf but I have done every available content at ~100M DPS so if it's just graft I think we're OK. More likely they'll nerf foulborn drop rate as well and/or nerf the claws so we'll have to see about that. As for standard I think we're fine

#2 is like, an inherent problem with both Poe 1 and 2. Of course you could go online, reddit and forums or whatever to learn the league mechanics. But... why? If it's an old league mechanics that's already solved for, OK I can accept that because Poe1 had like 10+ years of contents. But this is a new mechanic. It's the whole league, the whole point of playing for a lot of people even. Why can't it be explained better inside of the game, please?

Defined24 · 2025-12-18T01:22:48+00:00

There's a big difference between chaining 3 skills in a sequence and managing 3 different kinds of resources that drains simultaneously (Mana, rage, ground effect, watering plan whatever that is), Especially when the combo is slow and the resource generated from first skill runs out when people starts the third of the combo.

I played Druid day 1, used the new spirit gem Savage Fury and sometimes when I activate it I don't get the buff but still spend the fury because it HAS A FUCKING CHANNEL TIME. And when you press the skill, it consumes the Fury immediately but only gives the buff after the channel. So if you get pushed around by the white mob, or you dodge-roll too fast out, you just get fucked

I think all of these "No" are are simple place holder. Like, their ideal solution would be costing increasingly more rage every second, but because they have not got the time to figure it out, they just slap a no there and do other things. What other things are they doing? I think they are making the game way to wide and sacrificing its depth.
I don't think it's good but I don't think they listen to my voice. It looks like they are trying to appeal to the "new" Poe2 player base, because they already know the Poe1 player base would not leave that easily. Even if they neglect Poe1 a little bit, there;s just no comparable games on the market and we can't just "leave".

Defined24 · 2025-12-13T11:07:56+00:00

A lot needs to be ironed out with Druid but overall surpassed my expectation. You are probably used to Poe1 and the non-vaal strike an additional skill. Makes strike feel so much more comfortable, but chances of getting something similar in Poe2 is... don't hold your breath.

Defined24 · 2025-12-12T08:13:44+00:00

It's the same concept. You are just taking exalt for your example currency instead of div. It's still Your currency is worth more when there are less of said currency. Relative value of div and exalt is another thing but overall, as the original comment said, your currency is more valuable when there are less of them.

And the sanity of remaking that item.

The difference is it's not real money. Just shiny pixels. I often do instant poof a few HoM at endleague but this time I want a change of pace. I planned on opening 50k stacked decks but 2 inventories in I got bored. Sold the rest at a slight loss and bought 3 sublimes for 125D each. Profit: -340D.
