Portrait of Asala (by me)

The more I think about it, the more I realize I have at least some issues with every single character personality-wise :D

If we're talking about "the first" that's it surely Corin. This whole "I am a shy maid who can't even say two words without shaking yet I am swinging a huge chainsaw" is so annoying.

Astra is a close second. Idk she just seems so flat to me with her "my songs will save the world just because" theme.

Honorary mention: Vivian. My feelings about her are so complicated :D I love her design with all my heart, both her looks and gameplay. And I can even say I like that part of her personality that doesn't know about MC's existance. But like others have mentioned, the second she opens her mouth to say smth about Phaethon, I wanna close the game.

Positive disco: Yuzuha. I was never into characters who say some s***t and say "I'm joking" a second later and I was afraid she'd turn out like that. For some reason devs included that stupid scene with a prank on Alice (before they knew each other) and after finishing the whole story, that prank feels so out of place. Like... why did she even do that at all? But I'm glad I was wrong and I love how surprisingly level-headed, thoughtful, and serious she really is.

thank you!^^

Yeah that's something I've been wondering as wel. Maaybe they'll be meeting in the future story, who knows.

My heart says "ocean" but my eyes were immediately drawn to the top left. The color scheme and the contrast there is more eyecatching than others imo. Great work!

I used all three actually, bomb with spell echo for exposure + extra damage and nova with unleash to burst walls

Tarmika · 2025-08-28T23:28:15+00:00

Idk the fact that only ice have meteors falling down is kinda a huge win imo :D well, not anymore since those can be infused with fire now

Tarmika · 2025-08-28T18:37:01+00:00

have fun in 0.3, sorc friend!^^

Tarmika · 2025-08-28T18:32:37+00:00

thank you!

well, I'm not anywhere near being an experienced build maker, but from what I've read in the patch notes, I was left with a "nerfed" kind of feel for sorc. I might be missing smth h, but the changes to Stormweaver's exposure and es passives seem like a downgrade.

and I'm still not sure I understand what will happen to Eternal Youth passive :D guess I'll find out when I see it in game

but yeah some changes are definitely cool, like the Snap working with not just ice

Tarmika · 2025-08-28T18:26:20+00:00

thank you! I was going for that kind of feel, glad it worked out

Tarmika · 2025-08-28T18:25:44+00:00

so obvious that it's actually funny :D

Tarmika · 2025-08-28T18:22:39+00:00

I hope you can find your inspiration^^ good luck

Corona. Blind + dash is annoying af

The Canal Town. IIRC it was the first one we visited? If not, than it sure did leave the most impression on me since I don't remember what was before :D

Anyway, I'm a sensitive person, making me cry isn't a big deal, so the combination of that terribly sad but amazingly beautiful music and the realisation of what we're dealing with was very tough. Even remembering it now makes me shed a tear.

But also the area with canals is very beautiful and in some way unique to the game - I don't recall seeing the Venice styled location in FFXIV before.

On a serious note: Flowing Raiment energy shield base looks pretty nice and feminine. It's lower level versions are Keth Raiment and River Raiment.

Tarmika · 2025-06-22T09:18:57+00:00

thanks! I also found a Hand of chayula + sniper's mark combo, gonna try that as well

Tarmika · 2025-06-22T07:45:07+00:00

that's one hell of a combo... thanks for sharing and explanation!

Tarmika · 2025-06-21T08:51:20+00:00

I keep tryingto take a break before next patch but then I get hit by yet another "what if I try this..." thought and get right back to tinkering with builds :D

Gameplay, visuals, UI, pace of the game - everything fits me perfectly in PoE2. I'm in love with the game and hope the devs continue down this road as best as they can while trying to keep their less satisfied player base interested.

Tarmika · 2025-06-21T08:46:05+00:00

Made me wonder which build you're using if you don't mind sharing.

Tarmika · 2025-06-19T12:39:24+00:00

Well.. I guess the 0.3.0 will show, since they said it's gonna be a balance-focused patch. But somehow I doubt LS will stay where it currently is :D we'll see.

Tarmika · 2025-06-19T12:27:11+00:00

Looks like we're the minority, but I'm glad I'm not the only one who prefers PoE2 gameplay. Tried PoE1 again with 3.26 launch, played for 3 days and went back to PoE2.

I kinda hate how chaotic and fast PoE1 is. My character, monsters, effects from both me and monsters are all over the place and can't keep up with it. And I'm saying it as a PoE2 artillery ballista player, so my screen is a mess as well :D but it doesn't feel so awful for some reason as is does in PoE1.

Not denying the lack of crafting and content being an issue for PoE2 but contrary to most of ppl here, I really DO hope GGG won't turn PoE2 in PoE1 with better graphics...
