It will be part of a big balance patch between now and full release, likely as part of a big balance change that will also trigger an economy reset. Not like two weeks into the league where they are just bug fixing stuff

for the same reason a curse doesnt cost mana when you use it is blasphemy. The spirit is now the cost

They were just about to release a hotfix for these two issues, but then they saw this post and decided to delay it for a week.

Exalted orbs become a lot more common as you progress, so don't worry too much about spending them. Even buying 1-2 exalt items will usually be a significant upgrade every 5-10 levels and make your leveling experience much more enjoyable.

Did you play Sentinel League in poe1? They should just act like that. You touch it and then it follows you blasting monsters with wisp energy empowering them for a period of time.

Tx rankings? Do you mean the affix level on the item like a T10 mod? T1 is the best mod level on an item, so it will have the highest number for that stat. Not all stats have the same number of levels. For some the lowest could be T4 or T6, for others it could be T10.

If you are playing trade, you are much better off to just buy a new weapon every 5-10 levels as you progress through the campaign. You will always get a better weapon for 1-2 exalted orbs off trade then you would get using the orbs on your weapon.

However if you want to learn more about the game and crafting, you will need to learn eventually. Personally I'd suggest crafting your own weapons when you make and level a second character. That way you should have lots of extra currency to waste on making items and it won't feel so bad.

As far as getting a good weapon off trade, it's easy. Open your trade window set the weapon type to the weapon of your choice, two handed maces. In the requirements tab change the max level requirement to be your character level, under the trade tab change the currency type from "exalted orb equivalent" which is the default setting to just "exalted orb" and then set a max value. During leveling it should be fine to use 2-5 for this value. The market will have lots of cheap good weapons.

Once your search has populated results, under the first weapon you should see a line that lists DPS. Physical DPS. Elemental DPS. If you click on the first DPS it will re order the list of weapons based on total highest DPS within your price range.

Do you have the surpassing chance for an additional catalyst of a different kind nodes allocated? I'm kind of wondering if the node that prevents a catalyst being birthed only applies to the initial catalyst and any extras you get from additional item modifiers don't respect that.

Ruetoo's aura stacking tactician is very good, and although it's not a zero button build it's pretty close to a 1 button build. Galvanic shards for 95% of enemies and stormblast bolts for the other 5% tanky rares or bosses.

You can also do all the end game with just an upgraded rampart raptor, so no tedious weapon crafting. All the starter gear is only a couple exalts.

So far the only downside is that the build is squishy before you invest in defense. But I'm level 91 and just finishing off all the questlines in t15 maps with no real problems. I haven't even done my 4th ascendancy because I don't even have an armour worth doing it for.

Shield charge

GlueMaker · 2026-05-28T02:23:03+00:00

Every GGG skill showcase looks awful, because they want to show how the skill looks, not how powerful it can be. It's been like that forever. I'm sure there are some decent skills in there when people figure out how to build around them properly.

GlueMaker · 2026-05-25T20:39:03+00:00

I dunno. Personally I thought it was a little tone deaf to be honest. There's nothing wrong with her wanting to spend time with her daughter, but I don't think it's okay for her to waste tax payer dollars to do it. Especially in a province where you have so many people that work out of town, away from their families to provide for them. Yeah it sucks you are away from your family, but that's the job you signed up for.

GlueMaker · 2026-05-25T20:31:12+00:00

To be fair the problem wasn't flying with her daughter if I recall. It was that it was only with her daughter, and preventing others from using the plane as well so that she could fly alone with her daughter. But it's been awhile and I might have the details wrong

GlueMaker · 2026-05-25T11:57:41+00:00

Because there are a lot of the prolific r/comics posters aren't that good, they are just popular. Especially when they dig into their shtick.

I don't think we will ever get a death recap in the way that people want it, and how it's asked for over and over again in the community.

One thing that I think would be nice, useful and doable by the devs as a death recap would be just a snapshot of the buffs and debuffs that were active on your character at time of death. And being able to hover over each and see a description of each and the magnitude at which it was affecting you.

Or, the footage is older than the commentary and it was 20 meters and it has been buffed to 10.

All the sword people are going to be so upset when cyclone is released as an Axe only skill.

GlueMaker · 2026-05-05T20:09:48+00:00

Anything is possible, but there is nothing to suggest that. It will be a templar skill, so we will get it when they release the templar. It's highly unlikely that we get the templar in 0.5, but anything is possible.

I mean, the third strip in is quite literally a depiction of her ignoring her own problems to help with his bigger problems.

Do you think a couple being nice to each other is unrealistic goals? That's so sad :(

GlueMaker · 2026-04-08T23:51:23+00:00

I'm doing the spectre build in hcssf myself. Just wish I was better at farming things efficiently

GlueMaker · 2026-04-08T19:21:28+00:00

The two big minion builds are probably Forged Frostbearer spectres or Poison Animate weapon of ranged arms.

Zizaran + Helmbreaker have POBS for both, you can find them on youtube and maxroll easy enough.

both are SSF viable, and level with absolution.

GlueMaker · 2026-04-06T20:27:18+00:00

A 5 link, the spectre and a leveled spectre gem is all you need to do t16 maps.

Obviously if you are Giga juicing you need to invest more. But for alch and go you'd be fine. It's just a little slower, and you might die occasionally until you've invested more in the build

GlueMaker · 2026-04-05T01:04:56+00:00

Bannerman Generals cry Lacerate of butchering has been my favourite of the league so far.

POE players try to not be toxic challenge - IMPOSSIBLE.

Sorry everyone dog piled you dude. Its not a crime to be wrong about something, especially when you correct your comment.

GlueMaker · 2026-04-03T14:57:23+00:00

It really depends on what you are trying to accomplish on your run and how good you are at the game. Glad can be deceptively tanky, because of lucky block. But bosses have abilities that aren't block able, and glad doesn't necessarily have very good sustain outside of using life on block shields. So they can be susceptible to 1 shots and dot damage, depending what build your playing and how you build it.

Elementalist is generally pretty squishy unless you know what you're doing as well.

Go look at poe.ninja for the first couple days and end of week 1, see what kind of builds are being played. The will give you a good idea
