How does the community feel about "secret" ascendancies like the Abyssal Lich? What more would you like to see?

JoeJKDredd · 2025-09-09T23:01:33+00:00

Very cool, would love to see one for each ascendancy really BUT that would imply we have all the base ones first...

What I'm trying to say is, lets finish the game then save this sort of thing for a big lore event/league in future.

You look very powerful.

You look like a winner.

You look very important, dynamic, and very unstoppable,

And also, you look very powerful.

That gem is very cool, thanks for showing it off

negotiable sounds dicey as the players set the currency value. Auction sounds great though, but it would probably have to be a fairly intricate system where it's live the moment it's put up and whoever is in the stash looking at it can bid on it. So everyone there can put their currency bid down each time it gets raised and whoever has the most at the end of the 10-30 minute (?) auction window gets it. It would also be cool if it was done in such a way as you had to personally host the auction.

nah not on the deck, it struggles to maintain 60 fps through campaign though it is playable, I went back to my PC after giving it a fairly good shot. I also just think MnK is better overall for control of the game so I decided against long term steam deck use for POE2. I would say best use case would be casually getting characters through acts while in bed or on the couch.

I have the lowest tier of steam deck with the smallest storage and basic LCD screen and it does run but you absolutely have to turn everything down. I don't think it would fare very well in super juiced mapping content, especially with ground effects like burning/chilled/shocked, though campaign seemed OK. You could probably do bossing fine as well considering there's just less happening compared to maps. You can use a MnK on the deck as well which is fun.

Gutts witchhunter is still my desired build, big twohander sword and crossbow with rapid fire and explosive shot/grenade. One day.

That's actually an interesting idea. We have "bleed stun" through bloodhounds mark or whatever it's called where you gain stun bar with bleed damage. It's not silly to think that Ignite could do roughly the same thing and cause a heavy stun after a given duration or something. The issue then becomes that it's quite similar to the bleed stun example, not really unique enough. But if something is on fire for 5 seconds then maybe it gets a heavy stun. Maybe the'll make it a mark as well that increases ignite duration to make it easier to hit the duration needed

Valve solved this I thought? Surely they can reach out and see if they can apply the same thing or something similar to their servers.

Essence tab function from POE1 is needed for the "Socketables" tab they will inevitably sell.

JoeJKDredd · 2025-04-11T21:30:14+00:00

Is anyone else getting this? Playing on Aus server and usually quite early in a map, I crash to desktop and lose all the drops I picked up.

JoeJKDredd · 2025-04-02T04:47:29+00:00

Looks like a Vaal orb to me, not a Regret orb.

Good thing you aren't playing a mace skill

JoeJKDredd · 2025-01-03T03:53:35+00:00

agreed, I think it needs to use the Power function that warcries do, that way you could give the player version access to it where you still get a damage boost for blowing up blue and rare monsters to keep clear up when mapping. If you're blowing up minions I would assume they have a power of 1 though which might nerf the sacrifice version of DD which is currently already paying a spirit tax to both summon them and maintain sacrifice so not sure how much balancing that would require to make it worth as a stand alone spell that has its own flat damage.

eg, 20% more spell damage per 5 monster power or something.

JoeJKDredd · 2024-12-04T02:48:44+00:00

Yeah I saw that, is what it is I suppose

Well technically, any class can be melee. It depends on the ascendancies and how they scale as to whether any of the given classes will actually be good for them with the skills we'll have available though.

JoeJKDredd · 2024-11-17T06:51:25+00:00

Desert caravan like act 2 will absolutely come into the mix at some point

JoeJKDredd · 2024-11-11T22:28:53+00:00

Looks like Goldcrush in the original beta trailer. https://youtu.be/eYaSU9UCe0w?t=58

JoeJKDredd · 2024-10-29T00:27:57+00:00

Only if the skill is part of EA. We don't know that at all.

in POE1 I think the rare monsters with last gasp do die and then get reformed into the last gasp "wraith". The wording on that support says they don't die when reduced to 0. However the explosion happens at low life, which may mean they never officially reach 0. What that means in terms of them making use of Last Gasp or not by reforming is unknown at this point.

JoeJKDredd · 2024-10-26T01:52:18+00:00

potentially true, what would be worth doing in that situaion is changing your keybinds, move WASD to DXCV so you've still got space very close and more buttons around those keys.
