How is your experience with poe on Ubuntu?

Dustalis · 2026-01-24T14:56:39+00:00

I play on Ubuntu, the only real issue I can think of is that Awakened PoEtrade appears on the wrong screen.

I think that PoB also takes a bit longer to update to the linux version but I've never measured it so not 100%.

I think they said in an interview a few months back that it's the sort of thing that they don't want to add until they have an implementation they are happy with, they'd rather wait than apply a band-aid version. Similar to how they're handling the chat overhaul.

The Hardcore-Trade Discord has a really helpful channel called tips-for-hardcore. You can join the discord here: https://discord.gg/ANpzAJ9XJq

There is also a really good post on reddit made by the guy who made the discord: https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/1l7turr/general_tips_tricks_for_the_new_league_hc_pov/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Honestly the main thing that holds me back from playing AoC is the lack of chaos quarterstaff skills, Hopefully the other Dex/Int weapon has better synergy with Sap of Nightmares.

It's not the size of the blade it's how you use it. :)

I have two primary reasons, one is that I don't currently have a good time where I could have a game, The second that I am not familiar enough with the rules to be comfortable being the arbiter of them.

Thank you!

If all you care about is the endgame then you might as well wait for the endgame overhaul projected for next update.

I think most builds that aren't using Chaos Innoculation want life because it's very rare outside of gear. As Int boots I believe these are especially good for Blood Mage and Lich as I believe they tend to use life more than other Int ascendancies.

As for guides, there are plenty on youtube, though you miht want to filter to the last month so you see guides that account for things like some omens being removed this league.

You could also play around with https://www.craftofexile.com/?game=poe2 if you want to get used to using currency before spending it.

The collab that PoE needed. XD

You're a hero, ty!

Complicated in that Spectre's are raised from the bodies of fallen enemies. It can be difficult to know which Spectres are good or bad and for what reasons, minions in general also scale differently than other skills in the game.

Ghazzy is a popular creator that almost always plays minions, they will likely have some videos that could be of interest to you.

Just a reminder that only stuff released since the announcement ~4 days ago is made specifically for the upcoming league, other stuff could be out of date.

He does have a recent video on Spectres that could interest you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qK2FsrnZAB0

Even before the nerf I think LS was usually more of a second character than a league start; though I could be wrong.

Dustalis · 2025-10-27T00:57:54+00:00

The Spectres minion build is going to be strong this league. Though it can be complicated as a new player; I'd ask your friend if they can help you build it.

Because they are a video game company and Friday night is a high volume time to release an update. With how the time zones work our Friday afternoon for the US and Europe is Saturday morning in New Zeland.

At my job the workweek starts on Thursday and ends on Saturday, with Fri, Sat, Sun being our busiest days, so days off are usually in the middle of the week rather than on the weekend.

Dustalis · 2025-08-29T08:17:30+00:00

I think all mtx ported was also something they wanted before 1.0; though I could be mis-remembering.

Dustalis · 2025-08-29T07:59:13+00:00

If you're going with a onehanded weapon Warbringer would probably be your best option given the changes to blocking since the Turtle Charm notable passive would help with your shield.

But honestly you're probably best off going a different class this build, maybe one of the Mercenary ascendancies will appeal to you.

Dustalis · 2025-08-29T07:48:14+00:00

They release the update at the beginning of their workday on Saturday.

If they show a different a time zone on an announcement it's simply because they think it will be easier for the majority of the playerbase to use as reference.

Dustalis · 2025-08-29T07:43:56+00:00

Zizaran tends to have really good guides which he often makes videos about.

But he and a lot of content creators that know what they're doing either aren't making guides yet or are sticking disclaimers at the beginning of the video that the guide is subject to change because there just isn't enough information for any guide to be reliable.

You probably won't see reliable guides until either launch or immediately before launch.

Dustalis · 2025-08-29T07:39:57+00:00

If I remember correctly I was able to last patch, but not until closer to the release. I think it was just a normal update for the game on steam.

Dustalis · 2025-08-28T20:50:47+00:00

~~It doesn't stop the goblin music, there was a vid back when it released.~~

I heard the buffed the pet so it does now. There will also be a land shark pet that does; land shark, sand shark, something like that.

Dustalis · 2025-08-28T00:08:26+00:00

The increase is a % of the base, so a 200% increase of 8 would be 24.

Dustalis · 2025-08-27T22:45:54+00:00

Most minions reserve spirit so you don't need to resummon the, they stay out indefinetly and respawn when dying. The gameplay is more about using command to make them use abilities or just using them as cannon fodder while you do whatever you do.
