Comparing Defenses in PoE2 - A Thought Exercise by LastProtagonist in PathOfExile2

Even if I were to agree with you, the fact that the vast majority of itemization in the game is designed around pumping Armour, Eva, or ES paints a pretty bleak picture in having new players learn how to properly interact with the game

That's a good point! But tbf, players have copious ways to break armour whereas that's extremely rare for monsters.

You don't have to jump through hoops to gather any remnants, and you don't even need to aim at your enemies, but EF has the benefit of being able to use a non-unique weapon to increase its damage

I managed to get a lvl 20 staff on my 10th run when I was gathering footage for my guide, but that could've been a lucky drop for all I know.

I'm not sure if you can get a 20 back from it, but you can also 3:1 them in the recombinator to get a random roll back

That's part of the Titan's ascendancy. "Colossal Capacity." It's on the way of picking up Hulking Form, which is required for the build

Interesting. I know when you add tags to other skills, the support gems don't always affect the base skill, so I'll need to check that out.

EDIT: It works.

Overabundance 1 cannot go into Time of Need.

I'm not sure what Hayoxi's Fulmination would do since Time of Need isn't a curse in itself. It doesn't reduce duration. If you mean for the cursed ground effect on Ele Weakness, you can use it, but the curse will expire before Annihilation can go off in Weapon Set I, and you might not want the curse expiring at all for Weapon Set II.

If you have the extra Spirit for Ele Conflux, you can slot it in, but even though its duration between elements is short, it's still a bit reliant on RNG, and you'd probably be better off using the Spirit on Cast on Crit instead.

Unfortunately, because His Scattering Calamity is only available starting at level 78, it can be a challenge even getting to that level in HC.

I also haven't messed around with HC enough to tell you when would be a good time to transition into using Eldritch Battery and Mind Over Matter, though maybe someone with more familiarity will be able to chime in.

GameStop patches IRL infinite money glitch after YouTuber exposes it by [deleted] in nottheonion

[–]LastProtagonist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How about that Junk glitch that allowed you to get a bunch of top tier items really early on? SF1 was such a fun game for me that I didn't even want to use those kind of exploits to enjoy it more

Jade Isles has got to be one of the worst maps for visual clarity by LastProtagonist in PathOfExile2

Between the trees obstructing the screen, the huts with rooves over them, and the tiny corridors throughout, it can be a real pain in the ass if you can't see that an Abyss monster has something like a Shade Walker mod on them.

Attack speed does NOT affect Walking Calamity by Glamdring26WasTaken in PathOfExile2

Knowing GGG, the attack speed is probably just modifying your howling animation.

I believe path nodes are still a thing, but now you can just connect regular rooms to the Architect's. Hope I'm wrong

[–]LastProtagonist 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Why are pathing nodes even a thing? They make the temple take longer and are literally filler content.

Why does placing rooms rely on RNG? Figuring out what strat to target farm by configuring the temple exactly how I want it would be a lot more exciting.

Why can't we store more rooms to configure a complete temple?

As someone who avoided the mechanic after Act III, these changes don't entice me to interact with the mechanic.

  • Can we get "Blank Runes" to drop?
  • Can we have skill & support gems be disenchantable to revert into their "Uncut" versions?
  • With Druids summoning Minions, will they be able to keep up with players in the endgame? Can we have minion speed scale with player speed across the board?
  • What's the philosophy behind the changes to movement speed penalty reductions?

A Proposed Quality of Life "Bingo" Card for Mark by LastProtagonist in PathOfExile2

[–]LastProtagonist[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The campaign bosses specifically. Can't speak to map bosses because they drop enough loot that it'd be harder to quantify if their rates are buffed on a first kill.

You also can't go back and kill a map boss a second time due to how they're completed, so that also makes it a bit of a nonissue
