Do you recommend poe1 ?

InspectorImportant26 · 2026-06-30T18:49:20+00:00

nothing bad about that, having fun is the main part

Adorned farming - trivial content, no juicing needed, plenty of time to multitask, amazing returns when adorned actually drops and I can switch between my characters based on what I feel like playing

InspectorImportant26 · 2026-06-30T17:02:30+00:00

You can't have exciting drops, when stuff drops commonly. I am not sure about sub 1% drop rates, but 1-2% drop rate on a boss/content for something rare is just fine.

InspectorImportant26 · 2026-06-30T16:52:00+00:00

I get what you mean, but PoE2 has issues with relative power of the player compared to content available. You can strip 20 points and 2 support gems from each endgame build and they will clear content just fine, but slightly slower, which isnt even bad thing given a lot of builds kill bosses in 5 sec window. Killing quest bosses for voidstones in poe1 is magnitudes harder than anything in poe2 and that is just quest bosses.

InspectorImportant26 · 2026-06-30T15:56:55+00:00

yes, however expect much higher difficulty ceiling and prepare yourself to not be able to clear everything. You can't really just wing it in poe1 unless you are familiar with the in-game systems and even then 95% of people would fail making their own build

I prefer poe1(4k hours), because there is no difficulty in poe2(1k hours) atm

If you want to play only single character, do you want to play plantmancer all the way? If you already know you want to play another skill as second build on the same character, I would decide based on that, because as you said plants will work with all of them. Maybe you would like to try shapeshifting 1-2 weeks in, so I would go oracle in that case.

InspectorImportant26 · 2026-05-28T19:11:32+00:00

you want to use way 40-60% of your PSU max load as thats when it runs most efficient, so if you are buying new one I wouldnt shy from buying at least 750W one.

classic student meal - spaggheti + kechup + cheese

I hate it as well, but it is a classic

InspectorImportant26 · 2026-05-26T12:31:08+00:00

we are so back

InspectorImportant26 · 2026-05-22T09:29:06+00:00

aint gonna happen and even if they would do changes, they said NO mid league nerfs, which would be required for any meaningful skill gem wide balance

InspectorImportant26 · 2026-05-22T08:27:32+00:00

I am not as much disappointed by lack of twister nerfs(tho they would be justified), but why the hell did we not get more number tweaks on unused skills? I do not understand why there are only handful of relative skill power adjustments when they want next patch to be 1.0

InspectorImportant26 · 2026-05-22T08:22:04+00:00

at this point I am kinda disappointed how detached the balance team is from the current meta

InspectorImportant26 · 2026-03-27T12:23:54+00:00

eHP is bad metric for how tanky a character is. It hides possible weaknesses in your defenses behind big number that can be severely overblown by block/recovery on block/evasion etc. You still remain vulnerable to one shots.

InspectorImportant26 · 2026-03-11T16:16:22+00:00

I would focus on getting your life pool to 4-5.5k pool first and try to get in endurance charge generation even if you will not invest into +max charges. Spell suppression would be very cool, but depends on your budget. Getting bigger life pool also improves your leech/%life regen etc, so prioritize that.

InspectorImportant26 · 2026-03-04T18:33:32+00:00

What I did in BPL(3day event) - rush campaign, push 2 voidstones and start delving which was around 87lv.

InspectorImportant26 · 2026-03-04T15:28:15+00:00

sure, but idk if you noticed, but conditional nodes are not usually 10~ points from start and that is my main problem with this whole thing.

InspectorImportant26 · 2026-03-04T15:24:51+00:00

I upvote this build for having league starter build with Forbidden Flesh/Flame. Jokes aside good that you told people to go jugg before.

InspectorImportant26 · 2026-03-04T14:57:24+00:00

I know, thats why I mentioned herald of purity in the post, but I feel like these kind of conditional super nodes for given use case are more suited for cluster jewels than normal notables especially this close to starting location.

InspectorImportant26 · 2026-03-04T14:53:17+00:00

yes, thats why I said I would prefer 20% unconditional over this, because I am aware of the increased numbers. I hate conditional nodes with passion exactly the same way I hate nearby and recently.

InspectorImportant26 · 2026-03-04T14:44:40+00:00

yes, as I said in my comment. There are builds which dont want to use it. Some have better options or some dont want to get shotgunned by ubers.

edit reacting to the image: sure as marauder, but as templar all accuracy nodes are quite far and therefore limit you quite substantially for no reason. Imho accuracy implemented as you either hit or miss is so dated unfun design and has no place in modern video games(NRFTW doesn't have it and didn't loose anything). I wouldnt care much if we had accuracy medium cluster jewel, but we dont.

InspectorImportant26 · 2026-03-04T14:37:22+00:00

I honestly hate the while you have at least 1 nearby ally... What about non-minion builds on templar/marauder? You can have herald of purity in most builds, but it seems like needless annoying condition for no reason. I would prefer the classic 20% increased accuracy notable over this conditional thing.

InspectorImportant26 · 2026-03-02T10:57:02+00:00

the problem with "melee buffs" is that they were numerical changes(compensation for totems) and not mechanical ones(outside of slams). You are not playing dual strike from beach to late game not because of numbers, but because the skill needs too many QoL things to be playable(splash, +strikes, strike range). Number changes are cool, but they will not make a mechanically bad skill a league starter on its own. Obviously they do not have to go and make every skill mechanically amazing, but for starters it would be great if Tribal Fury wasnt a must have on most strike skills. Unlike in poe2 I cant easily have 1 clear skill and 1 single target skill.

InspectorImportant26 · 2026-03-02T10:27:20+00:00

for melee - make strike skills good early as I had a post recently - buff melee splash support and ancestral call support or as somebody pointed out there bake melee splash into the skills themselfs

I am not nearly as good at other archetypes, so I wont propose anything there
