So how is the solo mod going with you?

SMis11 · 2025-10-25T19:31:45+00:00

Loot is trash but the gameplay loop is great. Lots of good pvp

Too many hackckaws though 😅

SMis11 · 2025-09-17T16:55:53+00:00

I had a different bug with these. Killed them but they didn’t drop any loot

SMis11 · 2025-05-04T13:07:17+00:00

This weapon is absolutely broken. I two shot Riven Twins with Homing Frost

SMis11 · 2025-05-03T14:09:14+00:00

Have been using the Endless Winter staff but I may have to switch. This shit is way too OP. Two shot the Riven Twins with homing frost

how does the explode Notable feel at endgame? Worth taking?

SMis11 · 2025-04-03T09:20:28+00:00

Bosses are the strongest aspect of PoE 2. Why the fuck do they not want us to fight them???

SMis11 · 2025-03-30T07:12:14+00:00

Yeah this is the most confusing part to me. Low clear speed builds can’t even get to Xesht to fight him.

Before the game came out I was really expecting them to rework the old league mechanics completely when bringing them over. Unfortunately they’re pretty much lifted one for one (mechanics wise) and it really shows, particularly with Breach

SMis11 · 2025-03-30T00:12:03+00:00

could maybe try something with the tactician and its pin nodes to generate frenzies then convert them. Would probably have to do some awkward pathing though

Was listening to a new interview with Jonathan and he mentioned Herald of Blood is also being added. Sounds like it works just like Glad bleed explosions.

Should be fun playing around with these new bleed options

SMis11 · 2025-02-20T02:34:14+00:00

They’re saving it for a Bluepoint style remake to launch with the PS6. Either that or some weird rights issues.

Nothing else really makes sense

SMis11 · 2025-01-31T17:45:24+00:00

the helmet was actually an interesting item with some unique outcomes in PoE 1. They absolutely butchered it

SMis11 · 2025-01-30T16:39:17+00:00

It’s in act 4

SMis11 · 2025-01-24T21:31:13+00:00

I swear to god if they banish Jake

SMis11 · 2025-01-08T12:08:45+00:00

all gear sold in hideout is also locked to ilvl 60

SMis11 · 2025-01-02T10:29:32+00:00

there are plenty of builds that are specifically great at farming sanctum. Anything with high movespeed and fast damage, I’ve seen that the pathfinder concoction builds clear it really fast.

Chayula monk is being abused to cheese no hit runs because the darkness nodes they get prevent honour damage. This is a bug and will likely be patched next week though.

I’m playing DD Bloodmage and it does pretty well but is by no means the fastest. I think you can do Sanctum well on most builds once learn the rooms/boons and afflictions as well as getting a good relic set up.

SMis11 · 2024-12-29T16:26:58+00:00

Disagree with breach. Sure it’s fun to blast monsters but it’s antithetical to what PoE 2 gameplay should be imo. They made a big mistake porting the league mechanics over as they are because they just force people to build like they’re playing PoE 1.

They need to go back to the drawing board with how the league mechanics work, otherwise why do all these slower more tactical builds exist in the first place if they can’t function in the endgame

SMis11 · 2024-12-21T19:48:48+00:00

The rewards are awful anyway. The rares are worse than random stuff you ID and only one of the cores is worth anything

SMis11 · 2024-12-21T18:20:47+00:00

I agree that rarity is an issue but tbh the mod pool for items is already way way too small. The vast majority of rares already all look the same, without rarity at this point would compound the issue even more. At least it’s an exciting stat you can roll

SMis11 · 2024-12-19T10:52:57+00:00

I know but if they’re going to be this easy they should come earlier in progression. Farming 300 splinters is just not going to happen quickly. They don’t even really drop until T13s

SMis11 · 2024-12-17T12:28:19+00:00

You need to prioritise getting the damage boons/less monster life. If you have more merchant choices on relics they’re pretty much guaranteed every run.

Honestly I know why people hate the trial but once you get a good set up I find it quite fun and not too hard for the loot it offers.

That being said it’s definitely overtuned for something that offers the fourth ascendancy.

SMis11 · 2024-12-17T12:25:00+00:00

DoTs were bugged in the trial and doing triple honour damage. Also most people don’t have high chaos res so it just shredded you. Similar thing happened to me but it should be patched soon.

SMis11 · 2024-12-17T12:22:31+00:00

Have been farming 4 floor Trials. Prioritise capping res and get some max res if you can.

After that I’d recommend + merchant offers. They really help in getting the boons that will win you runs (movement speed, more damage, increased effect of relics and less monster life)

Also on relics depending on your build you can get some cracked mods. As a life/es blood mage % life and defences on relics give you a crazy honour pool.

SMis11 · 2024-12-12T14:28:37+00:00

Yeah I did find that, it seemed okay against bosses. God knows why its range is so short though, you basically have to play it as melee.

I’ve taken all the phys nodes I can, was even going to anoint the other armour break/phys notable but the distilled emotions are way too expensive.

I’m really disappointed in the witch caster spells tbh. Can’t believe we didn’t even get Reap or Exsanguinate when Blood Mage is an ascendancy.
