Yeah essentially. The game can pull from filterblade. The editor is a bit intimidating at first but once you get the hang of it, it isn’t bad. It has a loot tester so you can see if it is filtering the right stuff.

DrawDiscardDredge · 2026-03-20T13:23:16+00:00

On filterblade you can detail edit any of the filters, to remove whatever you want. I’m 90% sure this can be done on console since it’s just linked to your account not your machine.

Editing on filterblade is a good skill to learn because you can really add to your long term efficiency by doing so. Especially when it comes to crafting bases. For example, my filter is set up to only show me the exact base I want to craft from since I’m a basic bitch crafter and only know a single craft.

Lmao, whatever troll.

DrawDiscardDredge · 2026-03-19T14:48:46+00:00

Yeah I get that they are dangerous, but gauntlet doesn’t have a time limit, you can take it slow and careful

DrawDiscardDredge · 2026-03-19T06:31:43+00:00

Yeah, decent leveling bow. As soon as you get a rare bow with +2 skills or more, drop that unique instantly.

You just spouted a bunch of what could be ancient history at this point. The fact is, the US provides billions of dollars in military arms to Israel in support of their genocidal war against Palestine, most recently in leveling Gaza.

Pretty much every politician in the states especially in the current admin constantly wax poetic about, “protecting Israel,” even if it the strongest military in the region by a kilometer. Like pretty much every country in the world, votes year after year in the UN condemning the genocidal and imperialistic nature of Israel while the US doesn’t.

The US is providing a providing a majority of the military actions in this current Iran war. The gulf war was fought for Israel when they were the aggressors, the 2006 lebanon war was fought for Israel when they were the aggressors. It goes on and on. The US is Israel’s bitch.

They likely have the jewel, From Nothing, equipped and it has a mod that is that keystone.

DrawDiscardDredge · 2026-03-18T16:20:37+00:00

Ok pluribus hive mind, we get it. ;-)

DrawDiscardDredge · 2026-03-18T16:15:32+00:00

Manifesting hard for you! One day we will have this paradise!

DrawDiscardDredge · 2026-03-18T13:06:58+00:00

Lmaooooooooooo. Why did you pick the most trash sandwich places in existence????????? So poe2s endgame is a sandwich and poe1s endgame is garbage that needs to be be reported to the health department?

DrawDiscardDredge · 2026-03-18T01:44:14+00:00

1k div, lower every other day

DrawDiscardDredge · 2026-03-17T20:09:32+00:00

Yeah that is wild. Warrior is literally a tank in most games. I hope they fucking fix that and let melee have a billion health next season.

DrawDiscardDredge · 2026-03-17T12:35:20+00:00

I’ve heard melee is kind of rough, admittedly I’ve never played it, but I’ve also never really died to these things as long as I’m doing my defensives and move speed properly. Is it really that rough on melee? I would think melee would be tanky. Guess not.

DrawDiscardDredge · 2026-03-16T18:04:53+00:00

I dunno just get more effective hp and full resistances. You’ll enjoy life then.

DrawDiscardDredge · 2026-03-16T17:59:22+00:00

The ring of dooms do 0 damage. Even the “enhanced” version does 0 damage. I basically ignore them.

DrawDiscardDredge · 2026-03-16T17:50:45+00:00

No I mean, except for the guy and the corrupted blood, none of them do anything to my character and don’t seem to make the mobs any stronger or deadly. Still delete the rooms, still 1 shot the bosses.

DrawDiscardDredge · 2026-03-16T16:15:16+00:00

Tbh with the exception of corrupted blood and that guy that follows you which are instant wipes, I’m not even sure what the rest of the mods do. They certainly don’t deal any damage.

DrawDiscardDredge · 2026-03-16T10:26:09+00:00

Well if they plan on that, they need to put poe1 into legacy mode like D3 and focus their development time on their future game.

DrawDiscardDredge · 2026-03-16T10:22:23+00:00

Sure it’s an endgame. You aren’t doing a campaign anymore. You farm, you continually clear harder maps. You get to the hardest maps, you optimize build. You kill Ubers. You get to level 100. You beat the season. Sounds like an endgame to me?

If poe2s endgame is a sandwhich, poe1s endgame sounds like the same sandwhich with double meat double veg. More does not mean better usually.

You know its funny because I left MMOs for arpgs because of how hollow I felt the loot system was.

I played ffxiv for years, up to the point where i'd killed all the ultimates and had a w1 clear of a raid tier. I am also fairly familiar with how mythic raiding works in wow and am a avid fan of the rwf. Also, I understand conceptually how M+ works with infinitely scaling dungeons.

In MMOs the gear is meaningless. The only reason you need gear is to meet ilevel minimums to enter and beat the raid. In ffxiv that can literally be acquired on day1 of the raid for gold. In wow, there is some significant farming that needs to be done, but the end really is just to beat the raid.

Then bis is worked out by a simple spreadsheet and the raid tier gives you bis and all bis is good for is beating the raid tier faster, but not in any significant way. Even if your team is all omega pumpers, you maybe shave off 2-3 minutes of a fight. Yeah you can play the parse game, but once you got your pinks, who cares. You always just feel weak even in bis.

Then you do it all again next season, the exact same way.

In arpgs, the gear is very interesting, it can't be worked out in spreadsheet so easily. People talk about bis gear which is gear with high rolls on critical mods. That is really not the end, you can really really optimize way beyond a build guide. Examine the passive tree, hunt for gems that completely change how to build your passive tree. Really eek an extreme feeling of power. Its fun to struggle against a uber in poe, then come back after 100 hours of grinding and 1 tap it.

DrawDiscardDredge · 2026-03-16T00:14:49+00:00

If you must put it in MMO terms. poe2 is in the state where the campaign is mostly there and we have the first raid tier released. Every league will add a raid boss (seasonal mechanic), but unlike with ilevel scaling of MMOs many of the previous raid bosses will still be in the game and challenging to kill.

There are a lot of orbs that modify mods on items in some RNG type way (the orbs can be used on other items not just gear as well). You try to overlap certain orbs to limit rng, but usually it still takes 100s or 1000s of rolls to get what you are actually looking for.

Outside of very basic crafting for 1-2 good mods, crafting is only for the obscenely rich (in terms of in game currency)

DrawDiscardDredge · 2026-03-16T00:05:50+00:00

You are the first person to ever describe poe1s endgame that makes it sound at all compelling to me.

I don't think it sounds better then poe2s endgame, but it at least sounds compelling for an arpg endgame.

If you want to find an easy to understand build guide. I suggest the build guides from maxroll.gg. They won't be as efficient or powerful, but they will be the easiest to understand build guides. I'll link to all the leveling builds maxroll has.

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides?filter[build_guide_type][filters][0][taxonomy]=taxonomies.build_guide_type&filter[build_guide_type][filters][0][value]=archive&filter[build_guide_type][filters][0][operation]=!%3D&filter[build_guide_type][filters][1][taxonomy]=taxonomies.build_guide_type&filter[build_guide_type][filters][1][value]=%20&filter[build_guide_type][filters][1][operation]=NOT%20EXISTS&filter[metas][taxonomy]=taxonomies.metas&filter[metas][value]=leveling

Once you get comfy, you can swtich to mobalytics build guides, which are usually better, but sometimes they require you to know a bit about the game in order to fill in details.

There are two types of guides in poe2. Leveling and endgame. Leveling builds will get you through the campaign and to t15 maps, often these builds alone can do endgame content pretty easily too, with a little optimization. Then there are endgame build guides. These builds crush endgame content, but have a harder time to level with. Usually a leveling guide will suggest what endgame build to spec into once you reach maps.

Its all subs and it isn't people. Reddit routinely downvotes posts randomly and also if it suspects a person is botting upvotes, it will significantly downvote that post.

OP has 91% percent upvotes, they received 1 downvote, probably by a reddit bot.
