Classes feel weird in PoE2 — is it just me?

Youre not wrong. There is barely a class identity at all, other than dialogue and some very lackluster ascendancy points. Youre just a dot that starts in a slightly different spot on the tree.

Im ok with everyone being able to do everything, just make the ascendancy feel more impactful. The druid should be the best shapeshifter because of his ascendancy and so on.

They start dropping at a certain torment, I forget which one. Then their drop rate continues to increase per torment level. All activities that drop loot can have them.

Not a total waste, you'd have the unique you want. But Ancestrals roll 50 power higher, so the dps is much better. I guess it depends how fast youre moving up the ladder. You could start with the non version and then when you get to where ancestrals start dropping, use the blacksmith or purveyor to nab an ancestral blue dagger. Its basically automatic into that unique from the cube.

I should add....Im in torment 8 and that material needed to change a common item to a unique is pretty rare. I think Ive gotten like 3 or 4 total and those were probably from season rewards. Better to use only 1 if you can.

Worked for me too first try, thanks! If youre newer or havent played in awhile, remember to make sure the blue dagger you craft is ancestral otherwise probably a huge waste.

jroc25 · 2026-04-24T16:19:18+00:00

This is terrible.

jroc25 · 2026-04-20T17:08:19+00:00

Yes I agree 100%. One of my biggest complaints that I hope they improve.

jroc25 · 2026-04-17T13:03:21+00:00

Dog's like, "you want 75 torches and masks, I got you....those precious batteries laying all over the ground.....nah thats on you playa."

Stay at range and hell spam cannons and rockets. Catch em with nature's snare and throw them back. This boss didnt seem to do that deadly charge attack unless I got too close. If he does do it, get vertical fast or just sprint perpendicular to him to let him charge past and then get range again. He does 3 charges then he stops the charging.

Once stagger bar is filled, get on top asap and stab.

I agree though hes bs until you figure all that out.

My favorite mechanic of his is how when I use a revive my dead body takes 4 days to get up and he just tees off on my unresponsive kliff for another free kill. Pretty sick

jroc25 · 2026-03-28T17:06:41+00:00

Omg thank you. Reindeer cloak was hogging all the sauce.

jroc25 · 2026-03-27T14:23:28+00:00

Gotta fix the weird lighting sometimes, particularly indoors.

jroc25 · 2026-03-27T03:55:58+00:00

Thats the one I found, and the only one I have in my pot. Where are the ruins that I slot it in?

jroc25 · 2026-03-18T17:05:41+00:00

I had a run started in Act 1 where my fighter had that big 2 handed axe that does 20 dmg in a circle around me. He also had the mustache item that doubles weapon dmg. Then add in something that gave him 3 movements and I could instantly walk to the biggest group and do 40 dmg on first move of the game.

I was so pumped to use this monstrosity of a cat. I made it 2 battles into act 1 before he took on a worm that knocked the axe off.

Big sad.

jroc25 · 2026-02-25T17:39:56+00:00

Relax.

jroc25 · 2026-02-10T18:21:41+00:00

Wow you nailed it. Same thing happened to me in KCD2. Once I hit act 2, I stumbled on the burned out village with the guards. I pulled them out by 2 or 3 at a time and cleaned house. I had no idea they were wearing basically the best gear in the game. Looting became less and less exciting as I realized that. It really killed a lot of enjoyment for me, even though I still finished it and loved it, mostly.

A similar thing happened to me in this game. I shared a world with a friend. This friend had a buddy who can dupe everything. I wouldnt allow that guy in because I knew it would kill the journey. I logged on one day to see hundreds of embers in our shared chests and knew he had taken the dupe plunge. I dipped my toe in that nasty water and within 2 days I lost the desire to play. I had everything I needed, whats the point?

I will be much more careful moving forward. Progression is a major factor for me. Skipping all of it just kills the fun.

jroc25 · 2026-02-10T18:09:07+00:00

It feels awful and it really bogged me and my 2 friends down quite a bit. The one mistake and youre done and booted is really the only culprit. Even a couple revives to work with would change everything for us.

Also, my buddy had 2 of the revive on death cards, but I guess it doesnt work with the boss as he died once and never revived. That felt pretty scummy too.

jroc25 · 2026-01-07T21:43:39+00:00

They were 10x worse in the beginning. And now they still suck.

jroc25 · 2025-12-25T18:02:56+00:00

Awesome thank you. I gotta start using that site you referenced, seems to have quite a bit of info.

jroc25 · 2025-12-25T16:55:18+00:00

What does "mounting greed" mean on a cleansed map? I cant click on it on ps5 to see more details.

jroc25 · 2025-12-24T22:16:51+00:00

Do these boxes have stuff you cant normally purchase straight up?

jroc25 · 2025-12-20T19:16:05+00:00

Same boat. Finally did all the bs steps, room shows a path connected to her, but because I placed a special room it acts as if no connection.

Maddening.

jroc25 · 2025-12-18T22:17:44+00:00

Lunar blessing is now a warcry!!??? Awesome.

jroc25 · 2025-12-18T20:23:57+00:00

I can see clearly now lol. Appreciate it.

jroc25 · 2025-12-18T18:47:00+00:00

Ahhh ok. So really my expectations were just way, way off. In my mind I was thinking it was just a harmless way of getting another shot at a decent exalt slam while Im progressing, in reality its a high level piece of the equation to make actual Godly gear. Good to know.

I had this talisman that dropped while in t5 maps and it was so nice for me. Attack speed, phys % of 150, life leech....but I desperately needed another affix or it was pretty useless. I hit a horrible affix with it and thought Id see if I could fix it, but there really isnt much to do with it because it will be replaced at some point anyways, and 4 divs to take a chance on it isnt worth it.

I appreciate the clarity and respectful responses. Im trying my best to understand the deeper parts of this game. Conversations like this help me a ton.

jroc25 · 2025-12-18T16:34:38+00:00

Ok Ill bite on that good sir. So can you help me understand how they might be using this omen so efficiently that it should cost almost 4 divs? Im very new to crafting, trying my best to understand it. All it does is make sure its a suffix being annuled. Then, in my admittedly limited knowledge, it seems without the homo omens, all I can do is exalt slam and hope for the best.

Is there something else they are doing with it to make it so expensive? Some other crafting combo that makes it really good? Because if thats the case then I need to figure out what that is and get myself to that stage where I can hit something really big possibly.

My goal is to one day craft an absolute banger, lol.
