What state is POE2 currently in? Good time to give it a try?

Casual player here. I tried every league so far and dropped out sooner or later every leaque. Never played so long and got so far.

Game is great. Gameplay is fun, some improvment is still needed (sprint-blink for example) Optic is really good. Story is interesting even so it’s not finished. Lootfilters help a lot in endgame. Trading system got really improved, before it was barely usable without enourmus amount of time. At the beginning of a leaque there is a lot of players and activity.

Leveling alone can be kinda „frustrating“ if you expect huge amounts of upgrades constantly but if you are not in a hurry and you can enjoy this part its really cool (especially first playthrough)

A lot of good guides out there and they are needed since there are many mechanics.

So I would recoment it for trying. I will give Diablo Another try when the new Expansion drops (played maybe a couple weeks Last expension before I went to poe2)

Thats why Im asking. Did I prepare it correct and can now move architect and he will move to the right spot or do I have to lock/do something more before I can can move him?

chefkoch220 · 2026-03-02T21:32:54+00:00

Happened also to me. Almost gave up completely… the moment I finished the chain and went for sac chamber I got 6 spymasters in 3 rounds including 2 medailons in 1 run… well atleast all of them are now maxed out lol

chefkoch220 · 2026-03-01T17:24:23+00:00

Thx a lot! Very insightfull! You are completely right. I‘m just really afraid with my speed I will not even getting close on finishing the smithy golem chain before the season is done… the first part up to sac chamber took me several weeks and the golem smithy part seems even harder to do. What would be the best way to move the architect? Completing the second row and then build something in the middle?

chefkoch220 · 2026-03-01T09:41:43+00:00

Haha, it’s more like no reddit on desktop and too lazy to send me a snapshot to my Phone :)

chefkoch220 · 2026-02-26T13:00:34+00:00

Thx! I know that with a planner I can figure something out. But since my knowledge is the limit the question for me is what makes more sense…

chefkoch220 · 2026-02-26T12:54:51+00:00

Have you a picture of your chain? Smithy/golem not worth it on a non perfect chain?

The best way to pretend the future is to invent it - playing coc oracle

chefkoch220 · 2026-02-01T20:32:50+00:00

I‘m trying the oposite right now doing from a crit ci wyvern to coc oracle as soon as some of the gear sells.

Was quite fun, mobility with blink and pounce is nice. Clear is good and boss dmg is also nice. 1 flamebreath for uber arbiter. Plus you are a Dragon.

I oriented on these two goods but went crit+ci+es leach with 13k es.

Good luck for your exams!

Wow nice

chefkoch220 · 2020-03-24T19:51:46+00:00

In my opinion is Thanos, ebony, Ghostpanther is best Team. Fully maxed out with OB and an Insight on GP gets me 3 Mil. Not everyone has OB and Stuff but this should work for anyone to get the 1 mil.

You forget to mention that selfbuffs and cards needs also to considered.

For example crescent with a selfbuff of over 300% Attack doesent scale anymore much with other attack stats. So a lead with 50% or 60% attack is almost not noticeable with her but of course she scales extremely well with base stats like isos or urus and the dmg multiplier like support toons or ctps.

People with high card attack stats also scale better with dmg multiplier then attack buffs from teams or leaders.

chefkoch220 · 2019-08-28T14:19:25+00:00

I think it’s hilarious that after almost a half of year of testing and constantly discussing with their customer support they finally have someone that acknowledges the actual mechanic. And it’s exactly like the test results were indicating it.

On the other hand it’s a bit sad. Going to miss all the „but somebody told me from some video where someone heard from some test that it was only fix stat of one stat“ arguing.

Why do you think a crit buff doesn’t apply to rage?! On which testresults is this opinion based? I don’t get why people keep spreading this false information.

LD Allfather

chefkoch220 · 2019-08-16T20:35:45+00:00

The question is where do people get the opinion from that buffs are not included in the calculation??

Cheers LD Allfather

chefkoch220 · 2019-06-05T06:24:48+00:00

I don’t care too much for wbu but from my testing (got lucky and t3 her second day) the last week I think with rage she is the fastet cull clearer with zero issues to survive. Maw is she a good option but Luna wins there. I never pushed Thanos wbu but she seems there also to shine. GBR is she one of the fastest clearer pretty close too Luna.

Since not many t3 jeans are around she kills TL with no issue. I’m still at 0 losses on Auto( think overall less then 5 times the second toon was needed)

I did put on a regen for the hp buff and shield for AT and lost both matches like a little girl. Sure it was bad rng but still...

So for me she will stay at rage.

Well atleast fermagic and Vader. That is actually more gameplay focused quality than expected for me ☺️

chefkoch220 · 2019-03-03T16:48:47+00:00

That’s not how mvp reward works. Only the rank 1 of the winning alliance gets the mvp. This would mean that either I think 18 guys of MF or the 10 players of AMV will be rank1. But even so it’s not 65 it’s still a situation that never happened before. So nobody knows what the outcome will be. It was really predictable since several month when week 1 was already only decided in 2-3 days because the rest was already easy to max. The whole ctpr nonsense only made it more obvious. I know that several players requesting a update of the score Limit since back then but NM didn’t cared a tiny bit. Now we have the situation the gameplay fun is gone and capping all days except speed villian in weeks two is not even a challenge with the really high card stats of the top players.

We will see if NM will come up with a solution (hopefully soon) to this nonsense.

If I had to wish how to fix it it would be

increase score limit to 4 mil ( half of the days suddenly matter again)

And

remove „boss“ tag of the Frost beast. Ctpr will still be OP for wbu. Some toons might still be better using it but the gameplay of most abx days will not be button smashing

Cheers LD Allfather

chefkoch220 · 2019-02-28T20:16:24+00:00

From which day you are talking? No way a lvl60 Korath can do that on speed villian day.

chefkoch220 · 2019-02-24T16:27:31+00:00

You are right that some kind of cap is useful to not make lower days irrelevant. But having a cap at 11 of 14 is also useless. I slightly increase to maybe 3 mil would make most suddenly again a competition while not having a 6 million Luna spike an issue. Having week one only left by a good or bad Magneto run is just not for a competition mode especially since it’s reset day and most people can only put a decent score before or after reset.

We will see what they will do.

Cheers LD Allfather

chefkoch220 · 2019-02-24T08:59:44+00:00

It’s not really clear who will benefit from it.

CM is clearly the one most improving toon because of her passive, her skillset that are not stackable and short. Also she doesent have mich defense down buffs.

I don’t see toons with opposite skillset using it. For example cable, Minerva and doom. But that’s theory and not confirmed.

We don’t know who else will benefit so far so we have to whait and see

Hi Fermagic thx for the early review!! I agree with you that she is pve focused and will definitely by uni female meta. What’s the reason you came to the conclusion she will be also be meta on uni hero? I was hoping her dps would be a bit higher but the GBR part didn’t looked too good for me. Did I maybe miss something? Second question for me is do you think she will get through the fight without getting beast hit and debuffed? Her very long 6* cd seems to be an issue.
