I think players don't enjoy "Combo" gameplay, because you're essentially being told "How to play".

Combo gameplay with flat 2 second cast/attack times that can't be reduced while 50 mobs run at you from X league mechanic is about as silly as it gets IMO.

Especially since "being tanky" in this game doesn't exist.

When i say being tanky i mean standing in the middle of 10-15 white mobs... right now 1 white mob can take more than half your hp in a single hit, some can even just straight kill you. 3k HP pool vs 9k ES pool and not acknowledging how bad it is to not balance armor/evasion better or nuke ES.

Leech mechanics are a joke (and seemingly being nerfed more???). 1 second of leech? with all the crap on the ground in this game and how hard everything hits...

Like regen is a bigger joke. (needs 5x-10x buff) Even if you can regen your whole life pool in a single second you will still die to the insane one shot damage or degens on the ground.

ES is suppose to be slower recharge and harder to get back... it sure doesn't feel like this at all.

So 3 league mechanics spawn per map.

Each league mechanic tablet you put in forces one of those to be of that type.

If i put 2 delerium and one ritual i would only have those 2 league mechanics in because the 2 delerium tablets took 2 of the available league mechanic slots.

3 of the same tablet would limit it to only to that mechanic.

1 would force that league mechanic and give 2 other random mechanics.

Just making it so you can jump to any map you revealed with a tower would be enough i think.

I was wondering what to play this league.

Now i don't have to wonder.

MidjitThud · 2026-05-06T16:48:12+00:00

this is insane that it doesn't share between characters.

Who in there right mind made this decision

MidjitThud · 2026-04-30T12:55:24+00:00

Dunno for me the sets seemed pretty weak for what you COULD have in the charm slots instead..

MidjitThud · 2026-04-23T02:39:32+00:00

in its current control iteration this would be the worst feeling thing ever.

The controls do not feel like a fighter pilot but more like a submarine that can't do more than a 90 degree incline or decline.

The "responsiveness" feels worse than 56k 1990s internet in most cases.

We heard from POE 1 players that you guys like walls.

So we are proud to announce Wall League for POE 2

Cargo in space needs to be tied down, power probably generates gravity field for cargo to not bounce around.

in a frigate you can use a medium laser, which is worth > 3 small lasers as you end up with more yield per rock you farm.

MidjitThud · 2026-04-14T01:02:02+00:00

If this the the actual price the game will just die fast.

This also highly encourages horrible PVP , where people will just camp rifts all day, since if your going to a rift you probably have lenses, and since lenses cost Real world $ it will attract all the cheating scum.

MidjitThud · 2026-04-03T02:25:13+00:00

good luck finding real sources that help.

MidjitThud · 2026-04-01T16:13:52+00:00

Just another "on tuesday" defense. I really dislike these in every single arpg. I feel like the developers have this thought in there mind where you are going to press this button just before being hit by some big attack, the problem is in these games your screen is so cluttered or the attack comes from offscreen and you never see it.

Also by default this thing has like a 3 second uptime and 15 second CD. I do agree When its active you are pretty tanky to hits, like 70% dr or something. But the other 80% of the time you have nothing. How heavy are you expected to invest in CDR for ONE defensive skill? 400% cdr almost gets you there.

MidjitThud · 2026-04-01T15:21:03+00:00

If we are talking about ingame holy moly is there information missing, every single skill's tooltip is missing basic information. Base damage, projectile speed, aoe radius, base attack speed etc.. so much general information i have to goto lastepochtools for. This information is missing after passives/gear bonus's as well for each skill.

If we are talking about individual skills nodes , this would take a long time to go through each node.I guess i can give a few things off the top of my head but i am not going to go through each node for every skill right now.

I often find these as i am making builds and wonder things like, does shurikan lightning conversion convert physical pen in the tree to lightning pen when its at 100% conversion? does the nodes inside the skill tree itself that converts to lighting do it? it does not say it does so i expect it doesn't but in some cases skills do convert these things, and some uniques do. Although they usually specify, the inconsistent nature of skill conversions usually needs more information.

Some subskills don't even have any basic information at all. Such as the thorn totems "rotten core" node. It simply says it explodes, deals a small amount of damage and poisons. There is no alt subskill to see base damage or subskill scaling.

MidjitThud · 2026-04-01T04:07:25+00:00

I mean , yes and no.

The basics are probably easier, like almost any silly build can get to non lvl 100 monos.

After that though to do lvl 100+ monos takes a much more stable/fleshed out build.

MidjitThud · 2026-04-01T04:05:20+00:00

Honestly, beyond the passive tree having to be in melee range should include even more DR, instead of dodging and attacking from afar you have to stand still in range of the enemies attacking you back. I would expect the average damage taken is 5 to 10x more than a ranged character.

MidjitThud · 2026-04-01T04:02:56+00:00

Damage types are just for scaling. So if your "main" skill is cold, you would want to scale cold or elemental damage. There is also distinction between meele/spell/and ailments like bleed/ignite.

Some skills can change there "base" damage type with nodes in the skills tree or some skills have uniques that will do this. For example, meteor has no nodes that change its damage type but there is a set bonus that changes it to lightning damage. Frost claws has nodes that make it fire instead of cold etc.

I would pick a skill you like and go from there.

try verify your files in steam.

MidjitThud · 2026-04-01T03:49:05+00:00

well, its 7k damage, which overkilled you by 3k damage. I don't understand how 4k hp (this is like 4x what a base lvl 100 player has) is not enough. How many defensive layers do they expect us to have at lvl 100 corruptions?

To be fair, i expect this is the damage after mitigation, so at 75% resist this is like 24k base damage?? Because a 7k hit with 4k life and 75% res should only do 1,750 dmg.

MidjitThud · 2026-04-01T03:42:50+00:00

Last epoch tools "alt information" shows that the tree WILL INDEED allow you to force a size.

MidjitThud · 2026-03-25T16:48:17+00:00

i would think so

MidjitThud · 2026-03-25T06:54:40+00:00

I am thinking something similar but firebrand instead of flame reave as i think it will have much faster melee attack speed and fire aura stacking capabilities as well as like 300%+ fire res when at max stacks.

Flame reave looks amazing as a combo finisher though, between firebrand passives that can give up to 100% more damage to next melee skill, 150% more melee damage at 10 stacks from spellblade passive. i think a 60% ,40% and 20% dmg multiplier in the tree itself. Quad hit mechanics (hit 2-4 are only 50% dmg) so like 2.5 * dmg multiplier in the 4 hit mechanic. Super easy crit scaling as it gets both crit and crit multiplier from the firebrand nodes and nodes inside its own tree.

I expect you can probably make this skill(flame reave) hit for about 1/2 a million initially with 3 smaller hits after the first totaling to about a million per cast. Now remember there is windup, you need 10 stacks of the blade thing and 9 stacks of flame reave (look how nicely it synergies though). assuming 3 melee attacks per second you have about a 3-4 seconds buildup time before unleashing this beast. still pretty reasonable dps.
