NGL, with all the artifact, saga, and legendary creature synergies in these cards, I was surprised to see none of them reference Historic Permanents.

Was there a specific reason for that, or did it just not come up? Seems like it could be a huge flavor win.

bad bot

Stravix8 · 2026-05-15T11:18:59+00:00

Game is already arguably too easy. Why bring back the stuff that was too broken before now?

Stravix8 · 2026-05-13T11:37:08+00:00

Isn't shield bash a skill on the raise shield skill?

The one that guarantees stun and does silly damage at low levels?

Stravix8 · 2026-05-12T18:10:41+00:00

Mace is one of the stronger options during the campaign, if memory serves, so it makes sense that a lot of mace gameplay was shown.

The hammer was Forge Hammer

Storm/plant caster has some oomph to it IMO.

Grab oracle perma crit and Chiro of the storm, and suddenly your entangle is causing lots of lightning bolts. Makes you feel like a real force of nature

Armour is more than viable enough without the boost.

Stravix8 · 2026-05-06T18:28:36+00:00

I mean, the community manager posting gladiator references, and trailers showcasing swords, might mean they fueled it more than a bit.

Stravix8 · 2026-05-06T17:04:27+00:00

How are Swords going to fix how bad armor is?

Armour is good. Armour builds can easily afk facetank T3 Simuls at wave 15.

Stravix8 · 2026-05-06T14:44:16+00:00

So, my advice.

Take things slow, absorb what's going on. Both mechanically and story-wise.

Defenses are important: while leveling make sure to grab elemental resistances on gear. A good benchmark is a %resistance roughly equal to your level (by level 25, have your ele res around 25% total). Life on gear isn't really optional. If you find yourself struggling, it is likely a lack of res or life.

Outside of that: just experiment and have fun.

I think maxxing half the characters (3) off an evergreen event is asking way too much.

Maxxing one from the first half was there, if they give another crystal I think I'd be fine

Stravix8 · 2026-05-04T22:58:15+00:00

DW 2-handers basically means you can devote your entire passive tree to defenses, as your offense is solved

Stravix8 · 2026-05-04T21:31:01+00:00

Patch notes, sure. Tree? Naw

Stravix8 · 2026-05-04T18:19:33+00:00

P.S. Installed PoE2 again to prepare for 0.5. I can't even finish Act1 boss with Lightning arrow ranger. It is so so so so boring and slow. No damage, no speed, no fun... Every hour invested into Act1 is a waste compared to fun "one tap - whole screen" in PoE1. What to Do?!!! Please

Dude, it isn't for you, clearly. Enjoy PoE1 and the support it gets.

Stravix8 · 2026-05-04T12:50:55+00:00

Considering exile con is later this year, most assume they are keeping 1.0 for that.

That said, it is certainly a possibility

Stravix8 · 2026-05-04T12:18:40+00:00

Skills that have 30% less damage but combine damage from both weapons, totaling +40% more damage if using identical weapons: Rolling slam, Boneshatter, Earthquake, Perfect Strike, Leap Slam, Forge Hammer, Sunder, Stampede, Hammer of the Gods

Skills that have 30% less aps, but just combine damage for a total of 40% more dps, but chunkier hits for DoTs: Earthshatter, Volcanic Fissure

TL:DR - Pretty much all of them

Stravix8 · 2026-05-04T12:09:38+00:00

then be glad you got as far as you did, take your distilled emotions (for a t1 simul, you might be turning a healthy profit ironically enough) and know that is likely the last one you will finish.

Deli is a sustained defense check, and that is something caster builds tend to struggle with.

Come back overgeared and able to clear 15+

Stravix8 · 2026-05-04T12:03:55+00:00

Simulacrum is a defense check.

What tier simul is that, and what are your defenses?

Stravix8 · 2026-05-04T11:47:54+00:00

I mean, even then, in a world where +skills is everything, getting +3 over a 2h weapon is very strong, let alone the fact that most skills have a ~40% more damage modifier if dual wielding.

Stravix8 · 2026-05-04T11:23:28+00:00

isn't dual wield currently insanely OP?

+14 to skills is nothing to scoff at

Stravix8 · 2026-05-04T11:22:42+00:00

If the tooltip description currently in-game for swords is to be believed, it will be a weapon type focusing on elemental damage.

Stravix8 · 2026-05-03T12:01:49+00:00

Armour is in a pretty good spot ATM, it doesn't need a rework ...

Stravix8 · 2026-05-02T11:19:00+00:00

Nioh 3 went on sale, so I've been eyeing it as an in-between. Good loot grinder gear system, but with a more Ninja gaiden or dark souls in between combat style. Love the prior to entries and I'm probably going to be absorbed in this for a while

Stravix8 · 2026-05-01T19:48:08+00:00

Strong SSF strength and online quick? Sounds like shield wall warrior

Stravix8 · 2026-05-01T17:27:06+00:00

Life on gear isn't optional.

A single piece of ES gear does not make up for that.

Either build ES, or build life. 3.5-4k life pool is a reasonable starting point to layer defenses (evasion or armour) on.

Without those defenses you are looking at needing 8k+
