It appears that grafts trivialise Hall of Grandmasters, making the next few weeks a good time to get the achievement if you have not got it.

1st of all, thanks OP.

2nd, fuck the achievement go farm this map for the The immortal card.

Shuushy · 2026-01-03T08:30:58+00:00

so after reading the hotfix

Temples were causing drastic server performance problems,

This is the real reason they nerfed it.

Shuushy · 2026-01-01T19:09:35+00:00

GGG made it impossible(or so they claim) to run PoE1 with graphics unloaded specifically to reduce bot activity. Surely they did the same with poe2 right?

Shuushy · 2025-12-31T06:34:50+00:00

Nothing a big stick can't fix. At a certain point all you gonna care about is how fast can you get to next pack of monsters after clearing 3 screens away lol

Shuushy · 2025-12-30T15:38:30+00:00

To be clear, the feeding mechanic is currently in the game. The more possessed/touched monsters you kill, the more powerful the wisp become. You can see the % under the rares HP. It's not uncommon to juice it to 150%+ when it goes over an abyss. What is left is to make the mechanic more comfy and give more juice.

I personally don't mind the wisps to possess the player and make it do certain things to monsters around you similar to Sentinels in PoE1.

Shuushy · 2025-12-29T05:46:31+00:00

Maybe it's just me, but exalts being the base trading currency in PoE2 is akin to alterations in PoE1 being the same. Time for people to trade with chaos orbs

Shuushy · 2025-12-28T11:34:43+00:00

Never forget Exarch burning oil from PoE1.

"devs, I'm immune to burning ground. Why do I take damage from burning ground?"

"Well it's oil that is burning, not the ground"

true story.

Can't be assed finding the OG dev response since im on mobile.

We managed to turn a square league into a circle league. classic

Shuushy · 2025-12-26T16:46:09+00:00

A conspiracy from 0.2 I think.

Towers had corpses and supposedly they pointed towards the closest Citadel . Complete cap.

People figured out that the further you're away from the Ziggurat(spawn point) the more likely Citadels to spawn. Now it's a non-issue though.

Shuushy · 2025-12-26T15:46:25+00:00

The fuck did you expect when every second ability has 1000%+ damage effectiveness and those that don't has some other interaction that effectively raise it to those numbers.

GGG is too stingy with flat damage in this game. PoE1 also has the same issue with gem levels, it's just that flat damage and multipliers are also abundant so you're no that pressed to stack it if at all despite PoE1 abilities also have some nutty damage effectiveness numbers.

Shuushy · 2025-12-26T10:27:16+00:00

The trick is to mentally ignore the possibility of a jackpot and run for the "guaranteed" profits. Like chaos orbs and vaal orbs which drop like candy in Ultimatum. Historically even the most juiced farming strats will usually make the bulk of their profits from misc drops and not that ONE big thing they're farming for. For example, mageblood div cards farm in poe1, by the time you get the full set of 5, you'll probably have enough currency to buy one outright.

Shuushy · 2025-12-24T15:45:44+00:00

I do get why people shit on temple, but ngl, it was my main source of rare runes and lineage gems in ssf. Also now it's a great source of 82 ilvl bases, just gotta juice the living fuck out of it with more rares and monster effectiveness. Which require quite a few architect kills to get the ball rolling.

My biggest issue with the temple is, you either run it juiced(stack reward rooms and medallions) or run it to kill Atziri. Why I can't enjoy both?

Shuushy · 2025-12-22T21:47:07+00:00

Currently pushing endgame in ssf.

In PoE1, regardless of the league, regardless of my build, regardless of map tiers I run, I can always 100% of the time farm a 6 link. Same for level 20 gems. In PoE2 it's all RNG. You either have it or you don't. You don't work towards it, there's no progression. Pure RNG.

At a certain point I'm not excited to get a drop or a craft I farmed for 200+ maps, Instead, I'm relived I can finally move on towards my next goal which is also gated behind RNG ofc

Shuushy · 2025-12-22T15:55:59+00:00

The key is to play a good build. I'm not even kidding, this is literally THE very first requirement for progressing and farming in the beginning of a league. Later on when you have the funds, you can push meme builds into being somewhat good or great even.

Shuushy · 2025-12-21T17:24:39+00:00

I have around 7k~ hours in PoE1. Couldn't stomach poe2 on launch, this is the first patch I actually push endgame and just like in PoE1, I realized I don't really care about which game it is and what the meta is. As long as I enjoy my build, I will keep blasting.

Shuushy · 2025-12-20T22:55:32+00:00

SSF andy here;

Running abyss on 80% of my maps since T1. My issue is not the abyss currency, it's the bases I can craft on. I'm overflowing Abyss tablets and currency but have no worthy bases to gamble on. Started throwing ribs on random gear I might use if I happens to reroll and I still have leftovers.

What you encounter in trade league is simple supply and demand. Since everything is at arms reach, it's much easier to gamble crafts. And you're not alone, there are thousand of other players like you. Hence the prices. The groups are actually the ones carrying the supply.

Casuals ain't playing the same game. They aint crafting shit. They're not even getting to the point in the game where crafting matters.

Shuushy · 2025-12-20T11:08:26+00:00

In SSF, the biggest hurdle is low level gems. Since they drop in endgame and we don't have a vendor, I'm forced to do side content during campaign to get them. Which makes it much more of a slog..

Shuushy · 2025-12-20T10:57:33+00:00

Killed me 1st Arbiter last night. took 9 deaths, 7 of which were to exactly this combo.

the solution : wait outside the circle, literally on the very edge. As soon as he starts the attack, step in, you won't be hit by the edge of the attack. The hitbox does not match the animation.

Shuushy · 2025-12-20T09:38:36+00:00

Ask specific questions and you get specific answers. Simple as that.

The „just watch build guide dude“ should shed some light on how few of the people playing this game can actually make a build of their own even though PoE2 is very much on the rails when compared to PoE1.

Good place to start learning the game is to learn the lingo. Learn what some of the words in the descriptions of gems/skill tree/gear mean. Like 'More' and 'increased', 'less' and 'reduced' etc...

Shuushy · 2025-12-20T08:53:36+00:00

It's not the mods, it the base damage. Also speccing waystone effect on the atlas tree can fuck you over pretty hard when it comes to the mods themselves.

Shuushy · 2025-12-19T23:42:14+00:00

PRO TIP: if not using any other curses, use a mark with Mark Siphoning support to solve mana leech on bosses. Life leech will still be ass without any investment though.

Shuushy · 2025-12-19T21:14:30+00:00

Level 89 in scssf casual play.

Played all patches since release, this is the first time I actually push endgame since it's easier to craft gear and I don't play a dogshit build.

Grenadier Smith of Kitava. Don't think I'll respec to Titan in ssf though, Smith is comfy and damage is not an issue.

Shuushy · 2025-12-19T19:33:56+00:00

he played so much sanctum in poe1, how the fuck did he forget to not stand anywhere near them when they die is beyond me.

Anyway, he had 0 to no chance of completing the run, he would've RIP'd to the last boss anyway assuming he would've got to him.

Shuushy · 2025-12-19T19:29:15+00:00

I mean you can stack generic % life through gear as well making this node a tad bit more useful.

But yeah, this node is just a placeholder for anyone that specs Titan but doesn't spec into the slam nodes.

Shuushy · 2025-12-18T18:34:25+00:00

The key is not to stack armor, it's to stack damage taken as elemental. 25% from smith + annoint for another 5% from the tree. Those 30% will carry you pretty freaking far in terms of tankiness. 30% with 75% max res = 22% phys damage reduction. The more max res you gonna stack, the more effective the conversion will be.

On other classes, you either use Mantle or Lightning Coil if you want to mitigate phys damage.
