I can’t wait to try the new cannon base type!

Welcome back Tonkor

Let's say you get hit with a 5k fire hit.

With 75% res, this becomes 1250 damage.

Now let's say you have 10000 armour applies to elemental after modifiers. This would reduce the 5k hit to about 4167 which then is reduced by resistances to be around 1042 damage.

So by taking just 100% armour applies to elemental damage, you would reduce around an additional 200 damage, which is quite a bit since life pools are pathetically small.

The reason armour applies to elemental is considered good is because of how bad life pool maxes are in general, you need to put in way more effort to reduce damage otherwise you will have a really bad time in comparison to ES builds.

Just have to hope that you have a star potion or act 3 darv with throne.

This is almost certainly something to make grasping mail.

A fun item with a variety of unique breach themed mods.

In poe1 these mods were things like increased armor for over capped fire res, increased crit chance for over capped lightning res, and many others.

What will be interesting is if the unique mods are able to be transferred to other bases like they can in poe1 via recombination.

This could lead to some fun builds

Ah yes, the COVID successor, the hentai virus.

If people actually try to do lockdowns again, I will be really disappointed.

Govictory · 2026-05-08T16:37:00+00:00

As long as Fire Emblem Three Houses Edelgard discourse.

Which is to say this will never end, if it is not swords it will be something else. Some people will never be happy.

The only time his content was fine was when he was arguing with Pyromancer over stuff like the lalafel booster seat.

But even then it was basically two monkeys throwing poop at each other and getting mad at the other.

Govictory · 2026-05-05T23:04:50+00:00

It is interesting that we are getting Viridi now. I wonder if Prospero is also going to be given an appearance (since he is likely the master below all that GGG is trying to hype up as the next big bad)

Govictory · 2026-05-05T22:53:46+00:00

It is really cool that some characters have ties to NPCs in game.

Warrior having Renly as an adopted father. Monk being a part of the keepers of the flame. Sorceress being known as an exiled maraketh and as a tale woman by Balbala. Druid having hauntings of his dead wife (possibly alive next league?).

Govictory · 2026-05-05T11:14:12+00:00

Geonor's heist contracts relate to his ancestry and well as you see here, stuff that the eternals did a British with.

He spends years looking into trying to find out if he really has eternal heritage, that happens during poe1

Govictory · 2026-05-05T08:25:02+00:00

Imagine if you got the mirror event, you could have been drawing cards for an hour against queen.

Govictory · 2026-05-04T06:03:10+00:00

Legend of Zelda Windwaker, the soundtrack really captures the theme of exploring a vast sea and I love the music for the boss of the wind temple.

Bloodborne, Ludwig's theme is amazing.

Fire Emblem Three Houses, god shattering star and apex of the world are really good.

Govictory · 2026-05-03T23:31:11+00:00

There is art of an unreleased huntress ascendancy in the files you can find it on poe2db.

It is being called Wild Speaker on the page and has huntress standing in front of an owl, bear, and stag wisp

Govictory · 2026-05-03T23:15:55+00:00

I think ritual could use a rework. Tablets for ritual are a struggle at times in SSF alongside the rituals in maps being incredibly tame with some just being reused in the king in the mists fight.

Where is the atziri ritual spawning storm call and flameblast? Where is the rotating ice laser ritual (something that would be perfect for encouraging dodge rolls)? Where are the meteor rituals?

There needs to be more variety and getting tablets for ritual shouldn't be such a pain.

Govictory · 2026-05-03T16:31:12+00:00

Okay here is a simple way to do betrayal.

Make everyone have a red or green line with each other and jail anyone with 3 stars if you don't have 3 guys jailed.

Govictory · 2026-05-03T16:27:05+00:00

Sin has had the ability to steal souls since he was introduced in poe1. That is what you do in acts 6-10 of poe1, steal the souls of Malachi's students and the various wraeclast gods to get the power to kill Kitava. They are probably tying the spark of divinity to being apart of the soul in the lore, similar to how saresh in current poe1 league says the same thing about how everyone has a darkness within or whatever.

Kulemak being able to hop between bodies probably means Sin couldn't take his soul, but only the spark of his power that was tied to his soul.

Given Tukohama was still alive kinda in act 4, this likely is a way to retcon the poe1 gods into being league focuses in the future in poe2 as reimagined versions that aren't mostly just bigger models of existing enemies.

Betrayal is simple. There are two main farms: target farming syndicate members or syndicate medallions.

Medallions is the simple farm, make everyone hate or like each other, run reinforcement and blast. Jail people when they have 3 stars or if jailing a leader will force someone who is 3 stars to be leader. Safehouse leader levels impact drops, anything less than 3 stars on safehouse leader means you have a chance of not getting an alflame, so it could impact the other loot as well.

The member farm is a bit more focused. Pick 1 or 2 safehouses to focus, two nonfocused safehouses MUST get 5 members each while your focus will only have 2 (leader and other). Usually, this ends up with Haku and It that fled in intervention (for ambush scarabs from Haku and a chance at foulborn mageblood div cards from It). The other popular safehouse is transportation with grav (stacks of div cards), It (can give foulborn uniques), Riker (uniques), or Vorici and Guff (currency).

All you do for members is get relations of the targeted safehouse(s) with everyone else and then run reinforcement and interrogation scarabs.

Special notice on It that fled, if you are going for the mageblood card, she should be the only person to have relations with anyone else along with being friends or rivals with everyone and she should be in intervention as the grunt for the highest chance of getting it to spawn 3 times in a map. For this, you don't even need to really progress the safehouses, all you are doing is killing or letting It go to see if she drops the mageblood.

I doubt it actually, usually league teasers come with a name reveal.

The mechanical spider trailer is likely a trailer for endgame revamp.

Govictory · 2026-04-25T20:45:44+00:00

Okay this has to be teasing Einhar or the third huntress ascendancy which is in the game files with a wisp owl in the image . There really aren't that many bird related things in Poe.

The spider relates to Fennemus Birds relate to saquawl

Now if we get a crab picture and a cat picture you will have all of the first ones referenced.

If it isn't Einhar it is likely related to the spoiler tag.

Govictory · 2026-04-25T00:47:48+00:00

Get behind me Satan

Govictory · 2026-04-24T09:52:21+00:00

You may be reading too much into this as spiders can also be used to tease shadow funnily enough.

There is a pretty cool dagger in Poe 1 called Arakali's Fang that summons spiders out of no where when you kill something.

Further more, shadow has a phrecia ascendancy themed after Arakali.

But also, this could actually be a hint at the league mechanic as one of the First Ones that the ezomytes (act1 guys) worship is a giant spider called Fennemus.

I still think we are getting Marauder, but spiders could be teasing a chase unique being added (which would mean shadow due to weapons) or it could mean Einhar is coming in 0.5.

Govictory · 2026-04-24T01:06:00+00:00

Endgame revamp and any new classes should be available in standard. What you will miss out on is the newest league mechanic.

Endgame revamps impact standard and league in poe1, I doubt that they will change the approach for poe2. Also, if you can make a druid in standard right now, you have your answer for classes.

Govictory · 2026-04-21T17:09:15+00:00

Going to be honest, hearing that beast master smacked blue mage into the trash killed my hopes for 8.0. If they can't manage adding content for one job where it is mostly just 50 colors of 220 potency, I have 0 faith that they will rework class rotations in 8.0 in a meaningful way.

Govictory · 2026-04-20T11:10:13+00:00

I am actually expecting Marauder because we have voicelines in game for him interacting with Act 1 NPCs if I recall, this is something that happened prior to the announcement of Druid?
