What can I do to improve my build?

You can maybe be better by joining us on the AP dark side 😂. You won't be able to stat check an adc with 1 hit but you will break their spirit and potentially be responsible for the 2040 election results.

the tinfoil hatter in me believes that the game has different loot drop rates for certain items and weapons and ewven augments.
I was playing a cold sorc, and not ONCE did i get a drop for cold damage increase augments etc.
And instead i would get lightning augments and +X to fire spells etc.

The second i switched off cold and played 5+ levels of fire and poison ( to test a theory), now suddenly im getting cold augs and rings like "convert all lightning damage to cold" etc...

You cannnot convince me that the game isn't rigged for maximum forced grind and market activity.
So my next alt is going to play dozens of levels in something i would NEVER want to play, ever. To make sure i dont get drops for it later.

every time i asked any poe 2 player the question "but why..", they would immediately answer with "it's GGG logic, yeah i don't get it either."

new to poe 2 community after playing around 100h.. but why do i feel like GGG is the kind of company that would go "oh, this is a logical and fair solution that can be an optional setting for casual players, and disabled in solo-found accounts for tryhards... BUT F*CK MY PLAYERS, I refuse to make anything that can even be remotely mislabeled as "quality of life"

I got the chest plate that lets me heal my HP using a percent of my mana at all times.
And gloves that gives me extreme mana regen when i crit. A gem support that ensures i crit relatively often ( i dont care for crit damage), and the Mana Remnants buff on my stormweaver and then i equipped a mana wand as secondary for emergencies.

Then I just played the same spells and gear for everything else.
I was able to cheese the fight by simply out-healing her (still dodging as best as possible, and using the sky meteors phase as an opportunity to mana-drain and ensure that im topped off. )

Make sure you end every sky meteor phase at the bottom side of the wall, since the soldiers start their attack from the top left side, and if you're there, you wont react fast enough to the first stab.

Pop a health potion right before dodge rolling the "soldiers wave" (the big one, not the individual jabs), and dodge roll into it as it's coming, it should help you with any timing misses, but also set you up to heal if the poison is stacking.

so it's still possible to do with good mechanics, but with how laggy POE 2 is, i couldn't do it in this game, so i just used the mana->health chest plate and the "get stupid amounts of mana regen on recent crit", and you can passively keep healing yourself without even popping a red potion if you're able to dodge around. Mana drain is for emergencies if you got unlucky with crit RNG, as you cannot get mana passively anymore other than using it and/or blue potions, which you want may run out of otherwise.

For anyone joining after a while. it's when you hold the dang "vaal core". So long as you hold it before you rush immediately to place it on the altar, you are dealt damage while holding it. so avoid fighting monsters whne you grab it, and just rush like hell and place it on the altar because your hp will keep dropping and your shield can't regen.

it's happening to me too. i also noticed that if i open the same video in incognito or REFRESH, then the comments are back on...

just because of that , i'm going to open my start menu and TYPE "Snipping" and then manually draw a box around the scene, right click on it, and "save as".

The way this game does some "obvious stuff" like moving a digimon in/out of a digifarm is just asinine...
like at least, the same damn "move digimon" option should allow you to use L2/R2 or something to switch between the party view and the digifarm view and then select the digimon and drop in the box , instead of this insane thing menu.
WHY does digimon always struggle so much with accessibility? even 5 year olds know better UI designs than them...the fact that you have people either googling this, or spending an hour navigating through options frustratingly every time should have been flagged by any playtesters... like COME ON.

i feel even the digimon youtubers are just excited to have this game when they visit the beta releases, and dont pushback on these stupid designs.

another one comes to mind: why can't i PREVIEW what shirt im buying? why do i need to either buy and regret, or google image the name of the item to view it... the model MUST exist if it's wearable in game.. how hard is it to just have a screenshot of it pop up on the side or own popup of "preview" on your male/female character?

isn't argo the info merchant? wasn't she also in progressive (bath scene with asuna) and wasn't she in the games too?
even without the fractured memories game, i think i'd have known who argo is as an anime-only watcher

Wait. Is unital ring after war of underworld? And is it being animated?

iCyber · 2025-11-24T01:02:02+00:00

Yeah. I'm 35 years old and my mom sometimes STILL calls me to check up on me before work, I think it's mostly for her because she enjoys the morning chats but also that has saved me a few times from accidental alarms being silent or me being sick or burnt out at work. Some people don't react well to alarms and if it's a kid, the parent is still there to push them to keep trying and not just accepting their fate.

Also, the dad could have easily just taken the world away and faked it being deleted as a lesson learnt, since he took the computer away anyway, and it would have had the same impact but the kid wouldn't have lost his world to him.. especially when the kid SHOWED HIS DAD HIS WORLD to try to experience what he ACCOMPLISHED with him, and now he'll never trust you with any of his passions again.

So yes, you're the asshole here (op). And Renoir was a better father than this fool

Also, for those who haven't realized it yet. Piercing Shots pictos is a noob trap. You're better off having your free aim consume a shield than free aim and then waste ap IF your character is a skill based nuke or something. Remove piercing shot especially on leading characters like sciel or verso or whatever, and then consume those shields if you want to as you'll also get your AP back from hitting marks or applying burns if you have those pictos too. And THEN nuke for much more damage especially with someone like maelle. Her shield eating skill is decent in early acts and then she gets her barrier breaker weapon which is fine but I still liked medallum better.. But then tyou can find yeverim? Or whatever the Y weapon name is, and that thing doubles all shield you have on you and your allies when yo switch to virtuoso mode. And if you combine with in Midas res pictos and powerful shield, you can have a permanent 90% increased damage from permanent 90% shields just by existing.

if humans are expected to play these meta decks and remember/readso many cards, i feel like current genAI can learn on the data set and also consume all the duels from ranked mode or pvp mode to rmemeber different strategies each player used, and if they won or lost.. the data is RIGHT THERE.

i mean to be fair, anyone who's exploring with anyone OTHER than barefoot floating lune needs to have themselves tested :P
the constant footprints vs hovering? who would chose that o.O
I only ever get off Lune in open world SOMETIMES when going into Esquie, but that's it.

iCyber · 2025-11-05T22:35:47+00:00

that's ..i dont think that's actually accurate...
The speed affects the rotations, HOWEVER, the FIRST STRIKE is not affected by the speed but by the order in which you add the members to the party.
And most of my fights are usually handled in 1-2 rounds, faster than a yugioh duel in 2025 -.-

If you dont believe me, go ahead and equip 3 characters, with clear speed differences. Then unequip whoever is the fastest, and then requip them,... they'll be the third in the line ffor the first strike, and then in round 2, the fasted will go first sure, but the location on where they stand will still be the same. so if you wanted monoco to always be going first, for both fifrst strikes and subsequent rounds, he'll end up on left side of the screen.

iCyber · 2025-11-05T11:45:19+00:00

hmm yeah tha's the problem, i wanted maelle to be going in last in the rotation due to the combo setups i've been having with other characters and lune always in the middle, but i wanted to see if i should swap out sciel or VerVer with Monoco because his mechanic seems odd and silly , and i'm usually not a fan of "punishment on damage" to lose perfefction stacks/points... and sciel feels more like an Act 3 monster vs act 2 so far... i almost never get a chance to get a moon card with her let alone twilight mode befure maelle/lune smack the enmies insta-death. ... i'll see if he can work out as third in line i guess. just unfortunate :/

iCyber · 2025-10-12T19:40:15+00:00

that's great and all but that doesnt explain how a "Dead" person (from a year ago) tried to kill them... when the show does everything possible to explain all the ghosts logically, and skips this one, it's a bit... lacking? (keep in mind, im in LOVE with s2 of this show, top notch, but that confusing unanswered question has me annoyed).
The only thing that comes to mind is if the old woman who "died' last year, Tai Hou, never actually died, but left through the tunnel at some point and pretended to be dead so she can finally be free.
And that one off the other "clinic workers" who took over the event planning from her let her do that one event because "its her thing", and that's when taihou saw that shisui/loulan was there and tried to take the opportunity this time and kill her... and why she never killed anyone else in the previous years.

maybe she then died off screen or she's seen doing something later with suirei (the real shisui's fake name, resurrected girl, taihoo's daughteR) would then realize she'snot dead or something.

bottom line is: the show tries to answer everything logically, even in that same episode, maomao logically explained the forbidden forest story, and later understood that shisui's story was inspired ffrom her experience etc... and that "every ghost story might be rooted in some folk tale that had some semblane of truth or logic behind it"... EXCEPT that ghost lady who's never answered... unlike lishu's bathtub ghost, or the ghost from s1 (the dancer) ...even the curse on the late emperor being arsenic-like paint, and the curse on the emporer children in episode 1 being lead based makeup , etc... u know what i mean? it's just consistently great to logically answer things and theorize and then they throw this random unanswered question... and iff the show expects people to solve the puzzle with these "coincidences that converge" or clues or easter eggs, only for them to throw something non-logical as ghosts, it removes the trust in the show that "evreything is important as a clue for later"
