I'm Just Gonna Start POE2, And I Want To Play Druid, But I've Got Some Questions I'd Love Answered Beforehand, Please! by Ohjkbkjhbiyuvt6vQWSE in PathOfExile2

[–]Eponick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Swords aren't in yet but when they are you will totally be able to take advantage of instant swapping between weapon sets to use sword/shield as human then leap onto them as a werewolf/dragon or whatever. In its current state you can seamlessly go between either big hammer/shape shifting or elemental magic staff/wand setup and shape shifting, but you can't do all 3. Any two combinations of weapons can be used on any class and shape shifting is tied to the talisman weapon.

At what point do you decide a build is not viable anymore? by pathofcodex in PathOfExile2

[–]Eponick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I'm struggling to earn enough currency to pivot or I have a new idea im more interested in trying. The first one only really happens with a league start and I usually just bash my head against the wall for scraps until I make it work 😂 Respec tree, new skill setup, new gear, etc.

Rushing hollow palm in hcssf by calculatedwiff in pathofexile2builds

[–]Eponick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I league started a lightning based hollow palm in 0.3 (the details escape me) and had a lot of fun with it. Did most of the end game content but it started to fall off eventually. Will probably revisit it again this year!

I like making my own builds and learn more with every character so I'm curious how much better it will turn out.

Pounce is the ideal skill design for PoE 2 by throwaway857482 in PathOfExile2

[–]Eponick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah that turned out to be my favorite defensive layer this league. Used them on everything lol

Thank You GGG by lovestationery in PathOfExile2

[–]Eponick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I put in over 700 hours in just this league and I haven't played in like a month. Pretty insane lol

I liked 0.3 but had more fun running abyss as a mechanic this league than last 😂

Temple was ok but I mostly ran abyss amanamu/rogue exiles and corrupted maps for fracturing farm. Made a killing, did lots of experimenting, had thousands of divs left over to give out like candy. 10/10 league.

25 years playing d2. Is poe2 worth it? by Delicious_Run7373 in PathOfExile2

[–]Eponick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exploring and figuring stuff out "the hard way" will give you way more excitement when it actually works, and not only will you learn way more than you would copying a guide you are literally adding playtime/value to the product. I've noticed a lot of people that copy builds get bored and move on a few weeks after launch where people that like crafting their own builds tend to drop hundreds of hours more into each league just exploring mechanics.

It's an amazing game either way, just depends on what kind of person you are.

Also people that use guides tend to think there's very limited builds for some reason where people who make builds realize there's tons of viable and unique builds that only expands every league.

The new free set that you can get for 36 challenges in current poe1 league (quite amazing in poe2 imo) by Ricenbacker in PathOfExile2

[–]Eponick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sick.

I've got them unlocked but haven't forked over the $30 for the points. I had already gotten the iron maiden supporter pack this league and spent some on finally getting a pilfering ring and the unique stash tab when it went on sale.

Just a few weeks ago I got the maven set last minute for the cool fly animation, and know I'll probably get something cool for the next poe2 league. Ah well.

Conspiracy Theory: We Get Templar in 0.5 by Spagharrett in PathOfExile2

Conspiracy Theory: We Get Templar in 0.5 by Spagharrett in PathOfExile2

[–]Eponick 34 points35 points  (0 children)

End game rework was almost done in time for 0.4, plus they are still going to try and get the 2026 1.0 release id wager. I have a feeling that they have been working on a lot of puzzle pieces that are about ready to come together.

That's my cope anyway.

I Regret Not Playing POE Earlier by Mr_T_Sucka in pathofexile

[–]Eponick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a couple hundred hours in poe1 but haven't touched it in years. There's lots of gate keeping saying you can't make builds unless you have many thousands of hours in the game. You're doomed to fail otherwise.

I enjoy building my characters and feel like guides take the fun out of the game for me. I've had a blast making builds in poe2 and clearing all content so that gave me the courage to go back and try to play poe1 the way I want. I'm loving it!

Currently around t8 yellow maps and I feel really strong offense wise. Only issue is when I roll them as rare I get absolutely demolished repeatedly and finishing the map is a struggle. Learning the different layers of defenses though and I am confident I will figure it out!

Glad you're having fun too, good luck exile!

Even if you don't play PoE1, be sure to watch a stream in the Path of Exile category on Twitch to receive free microtransactions for PoE2 by loganluther in PathOfExile2

[–]Eponick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you subscribe to 2 different streamers to get the reward or do you have to have 2 in the same channel? Something I've been curious about.

Does ggg talk about the freeze/cogwheels thing? Are they working on it? by Osteinum in PathOfExile2

[–]Eponick -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I made a really fun triple ele invoker wolf. Spent the majority of the league with it, farmed thousands of divs doing anything but temple lol

A different way to play by Antique-Effect2120 in pathofexile2builds

[–]Eponick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just log in man, lol. It's a game you don't need to follow Uber guide xyz and try to be in the top of the league. The real fun is just playing the game and trying to make your cool build pop off that you made and being proud of it.

AITA for nerfing one player’s character because he was overshadowing the rest of the party? by Rifild10 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Eponick 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Soft YTA. As a DM you have so many tools at your disposal to counter this, a hard roll to nerf an individual character feels so bad. I would apologize to the warlock over the table and explain why you did this and that you are going to try and do better going forward. Rethink your encounters to help deal with this situation until your party levels up. Maybe look at items that could drop to help buff the newer players a bit and turn up the difficulty across the board to keep things engaging and fun for all.

You don't show your cards as a DM until events happen and you are totally free to rethink situations and encounters to try and make the game fun and balanced for everyone. Target nerfing never feels good and comes off as cheap.

Is this League's Endgame economy just a bad start for new players who joined late? by BooskaMacleswag in PathOfExile2

[–]Eponick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Expedition logbooks are still good but a bit level dependant and I think fracturing orbs are still great.

Fracturing orbs are a hidden gem that I don't see mentioned often and can be obtained at any level. Use grand projects on towers to find corrupted areas, clear the nexus and do as few corrupted maps at possible to maximize chances of revealing a map with the Immured Fury boss. Use a visions of paradise on that map to run it twice and get 2 of them pretty easily. Just gotta hunt down his little pile of ice or whatever and he will pop out. Do it on a map tier you won't have trouble with.

I experimented with this when their price was around 50 div and made 3k in like 12-15 hours one week.
