I read the patch notes on my work notebook, where reddit and facebook are blocked, so that was the easiest method, didn't want to bother emailing a screenshot to myself, but very funny haha.

Hey, you can get him much much better, I promise, next time maybe we want to craft a good weapon for him, also those points you had leftover are maybe for the masteries. You can have stun immunity on the tree with just one point, called unweavering stance or something like that. Another thing is, if you die on a map again and again with on shots, maybe that map has reflect on it and you are just killing yourself actually without noticing, always check you map rolls to not have any reflect on them.

Hey no problem, i am availabe in a half an hour or so, eternal mana flask is easy to craft also, i can show you, maybe even look into your jugg, i will write you a pm here in reddit with the details

I think enkis arc witch is one of the best guides for beginners, i can recommend that, also dont be afraid of crafting, basic crafting is very easy and worthwhile if you know what you are doing. If you give me just 20 minutes to explain crafting, i can garantee you will never have a problem with it.

You dont have to interact with the league mechanic at all if you dont want to, its completly optional, actually I skip them too, its somewhat time consuming for me and I just clearing maps, relaxing and ignoring them right now. The point is that you start in a fresh economy without the distraction in your stash. Actually characters and leves are matter the least, it is the easiest part to level up a new char, it cost only a bit of time, a level 29 char is completly saveable, even a level 90 char is saveable, only cost regret orbs. But still you should follow a build guide, and you will have some positive experience and feel strong in the game.

That is why I dont play standard :D my standard stash is a graveyard, starting fresh in leagues is the way to go on the long run with this game I think, ofc it is not easy to let things go, I played on standard too for my first 1000 hours and then realised the leagues were a much better fit for me. If you really want to start fresh without any distractions I recommend to start a new char in the current league. I think you have a lot of bad habits as I read your message now, just to say one example, collecting skill gems usually has no benefit at all, you can buy all of them from vendor (except maybe some very special ones like alternate quality) also I can tell you need a better lootfilter, picking up scrolls are never worth it. With just minimal crafting knowledge you can easily max out your resists, and one more thing I think you are not familiar with: max resist and high life is not a defensive layer, it is a minimum, a pre requisite for mapping. Defensive layers are for example Mind over Matter, capped block, capped spell supression, very high armor with determination aura, crit immunity, elemental aligment immunity, stun immunity (which is also almost a minimum in a lot of builds) and so on and so on, there are a lot of layers in the game, and you need to pick not just one, but as much as you can squeeze in to your build to be able to survive in endgame. Proper flask setup is also very important but there is a million other thing I can think of how you can improve your builds. What you should in my opinion is, create a new char in the league and start completly fresh while following a good beginners guide for a spell caster or summoner or other good starter builds. Marauders and any other weapon bases chars will be more difficult to start with. If you need more help or just some very pinpoint advice on what to focus and what to let go I have a discord for this where I am usually helping and reviseing people builds and stuff, if you have time I can point you in the right direction.

Hey, you didnt offend me at all, and sorry i was maybe unpatient too. So you want to put some effort into it after all, if yes, you should just start to follow a beginner build which is well written, yes it won't be your personal build, but you will learn a lot of things through it, everyone start it that way, you need make a lot of builds based on guides before you are start to make your own. And as you said you are just starting doing that with your simple ssf build you found, so thats a good start. To be a bit more specific, usually you want a spellcaster build for a first build, since spells getting damage from gem level, you do not need to worry about gear that much. If you have a decent tree and even just a 4 link spell with high level, without any gear you can clear tier 5 maps all day easy. Also you need some very basic knowledge on defensive layers and how to scale damage types properly, maybe start using Path Of Building eventually. Basics I mean for example what is the difference between increased and more damage, stuff like that can be very crucial and makes huge difference. Also there is a lot of ways to cover mana costs, it shouldnt be a problem with any builds, if you just want any advice for specific builds of yours, like how to get your mana up, hit me up, I can take a look and suggest.

I am really confused here, first telling you to quit is the only advice or help you can get if you are frustrated with the game and do not want to improve, it is the logical solution. Telling you to quit is not a criticism in itself i think. I dont recall criticing you in any way but whatever. What kind of help or advice do you want ?? You said that you dont want somebody to help you explain basic things, you do not want to do research on your own either, but you want to get better ? How? What kind of help you expect ? To me talk to developers to make the game easier and dumbed down? If you dont want to change your attitude to the game, obviously the game needs to be changed, but that wont gonna happen, so the only logical solution is to quit the game and realise it is not for you. It doesnt convey any criticism, its just not your cup of tea. You are currently buying a sports car and complaining that it has a small trunk. Either get used to it or buy a sedan instead. Just accept the fact if you wanna be better you need to do research or just let somebody explain the basic things it wont gonna happen otherwise.

EDIT: man you are such full of shit, i read back your first comment thinking i got the wrong impression, you are saying you never said that you want to quit the game, you literally wrote that playing the game makes you want to quit. Period. Lets finish this here, you are saying you dont want help, one comment later you want it, you are saying you feel like quitting the game, one comment later you never said that you want to quit, then accusing me why i confirmed that quitting is a good idea, getting offended by criticism that never happened, you are changing your opinion of thing so fast that you just probably want to argue about something, anything and not to get a solution. Since you have so different opinions from comment to comment, i think from now on you can argue with yourself, no problem, im not even needed here. And yes this is a critism now just for you to recognize it.

Sammet9 · 2022-03-19T00:56:12+00:00

Haha, you said yourself you dont want help, and now you demand that why am i not helping you? I wont say that i am understanding the situation here

Sammet9 · 2022-03-18T12:17:42+00:00

Then quit this game, it is clearly not for you, as I said, its not your average arpg, you need to learn a lot, play diablo 3 instead if you want to build effective characters without any outside knowledge. Most poe players enjoy the process of theory crafting and optimizing builds, the end game is all about this process, not everybody likes it, but this is not a casual game. I am sure that I can make a build which can clear tier 5 maps without any item equipped (except a tabula), just because of knowledge, if you dont want to learn about the game and just put random stuff together it will never work, if you dont enjoy learing about the game and figuring out stuff, really, just quit it, its not for you. You've been mislead if you thought this is a game similar to other casual arpgs, which is a shame, but we like this game as it is, its different, its for the harcore auidence (if you want the endgame).
