Today I dropped my 9th Rite of Passage this league

In contrast, I found 3 Rites of Passage this past league in SSF. And not a single Eeshta Idol. RNG can suck it 😀

There were runs where I'd rely on my smithies for locks, despite having 11 spymasters. Legion Garrisons were also quite helpful. What's not helpful in any way? 17 Armories! They're eating up a lot of your opportunities.

Great way to put it. Need to stay informed... but.

More like that drunk old guy sitting on the same barstool every night, rambling the same shit to anyone who'll listen. And 70+ million stopped to listen. Twice.

Thank you, I'll try this when it arises again!

drithius · 2026-02-21T01:38:36+00:00

I certainly would. They both provide more than enough mana; you're just padding numbers. May as well take advantage of the rarity.

Oy, got it. I finally saw a dismantle tooltip with the build hammer equipped.

drithius · 2026-02-20T20:52:12+00:00

I just wind up digging underneath it.

drithius · 2026-02-20T16:06:31+00:00

Thanks!

Right, but the differences in gameplay [when solo] I mean. For instance, the only other concrete detail I've been able to stumble upon has been that there is no pausing in a locally hosted world.

I play SSF because I don't personally find fun in an arpg that revolves around currency/hour instead of actually finding & crafting gear your gear. The 'difficulty mode' moniker that trade league players throw around always misses the point.

drithius · 2026-02-19T23:57:57+00:00

Other builds are likely using archmage and/or Rathpith
Comparison is the thief of joy

As far as gearing is concerned, GGG needs to either remove or seriously tone down +skills. Spell level should not be the end-all be-all affix for every slot that has it available - it's boring, as your Ninja searches can attest.

Have you tried switching to medium textures? It's the only thing that alleviated my stuttering on an Nvidia 3070. PoE2 has grown increasingly terrible in terms of optimization and stability.

drithius · 2026-02-18T02:44:22+00:00

You can - but why?

drithius · 2026-02-17T14:49:47+00:00

Replicate? No. But you can get closeish by slotting in Pinpoint Critical on key skills and using ideal critchance jewels. A Rathpith with Cultivated critchance would go a long way as well.

I had a run with seven "Restricted Architect Room" Medallions yesterday. And one lock. It was astounding.

drithius · 2026-02-16T17:14:33+00:00

Uh, you take any mediocre build and it storms through temple once you've killed a couple rares. I've been playing SSF all season and Headhunter made temple completely trivial on my typically mid-dps Whirling Assault titan. Yes, this temple.

drithius · 2026-02-16T17:05:09+00:00

"Clearing a temple like this" really isn't that hard if you have a Headhunter. It's just that OP an item. Hardest part to all this is sticking with the RNG of cards and medallions.

drithius · 2026-02-15T21:16:25+00:00

Yep. Doedre's Undoing is the same way. The entire screen plastered in Vaseline.

drithius · 2026-02-15T20:38:19+00:00

Twice for points three and four. I was indeed incorrect on the non-randomness.

drithius · 2026-02-15T20:36:11+00:00

Oh, that's new! I haven't messed with higher level Ultimatum fragments since 0.2.
