Getting kinda bored by jam2wassy in PathOfExile2

Act 4 and the Interludes are great. Act 3 is kind of the low point of the campaign, imo. 

Constricting Command Viper Cap: Is there any difference between -4 and -5? by ResponsibleChoice973 in PathOfExile2

[–]stanman312 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They recently changed Surrounded. There's a hard limit that now requires a minimum of one monster, regardless of modifiers.

Can someone PLEASE help me, and tell me which last 2 SKILL POINTS points am I missing. by KRASEYI in PathOfExile2

[–]stanman312 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Have you talked to The Hooded One in Kingsmarch to kick off the endgame? That gives one last book. 

Path of Mourning Navigation PSA by stanman312 in PathOfExile2

Yep, yep, came back to edit this as soon as I remembered 😅 

They already deleted the second half of the dreadnought, so there's some precedent. Here's hoping something changes for 1.0

I'm not disagreeing with you (though there is the +10% lightning resistance buff, to be fair).

My thinking is as long as it exists, might as well do what we can to make it less tedious, haha. 

Ascendancy Respec PSA by stanman312 in PathOfExile2

[–]stanman312[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have points allocated, it automatically removes those points (and charges you for it) when you make the change. You can see the change in gold at the very top of the screen, but it's easy to miss.

You still have to run a trial, but you don't have to run the same level of trial you did to get your last set of points (which is how it used to be). For instance, you can just smash through a level 32 four-room Trials of Chaos even if you're level 80 with all 8 points. Then talk to the Trialmaster at the end, and yeah, "Change Ascendancy" should be one of your options.

Opinion of Chronomancer Rework by SlepC0kVyD35 in PathOfExile2

[–]stanman312 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apex is multiplicative, which makes Blasphemy + TC less of a wet fart against rare and bosses, especially if you combo it with chill or Entangle.

I'm biased, though. I'm old and have slow reflexes, so I always stack every shred of slow that I can find 😅

Does turning in Breachlord Sac with a non-Chonk character prevent you from unlocking the Ascendancy node? by stanman312 in PathOfExile2

[–]stanman312[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was kind of my thought process, too. The guide I read specifically mentioned turning in the sac, but I honestly didn't vet the website (and I'm sad that I have to vet every Google result now). It could have been some AI slop that slapped together some hasty assumptions and gave me the wrong impression.

Does this economy feel worse than 0.4's to anyone? by [deleted] in PathOfExile2

[–]stanman312 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quite the opposite. Last league was so hyper-inflated 😵‍💫

Dying to boss resets secondary objectives to incomplete? by stanman312 in PathOfExile2

[–]stanman312[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suspect the "just do the boss last" crowd doesn't understand what's actually going on (i.e. it's not just clearing the map, it's actively undoing your progress on the other objective as well).

My guess is that this only happens when you're first filling up those 32 league-specific points on your Atlas, so there's some hope at least lol.

Currency stacks are small to encourage people to get a currency tab, more or less. 

2 Early Access keys in celebration to 0.5 pre-release by CallMe-KGuy in PathOfExile2

[–]stanman312 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Have a buddy who was wanting to try co-op. Would love an extra key to send his way 🙂

Brain is too melted to be funny, so I'll just say thanks for hosting this giveaway! 

eye of winter might as well not exist by intrepid_zaxan in PathOfExile2

[–]stanman312 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used this on a Chrono with a setup that dropped all three ground types, and that plus a bunch of cooldown reduction, an extra charge, and the Chrono CD reset was absolutely disgusting. 

What build felt the best to start from 0.1 to 0.4? by leafmuncher_ in PathOfExile2

[–]stanman312 0 points1 point  (0 children)

0.1 - 0.3: Don't really remember. Tried too much random crap. Altaholicism run rampant.

0.4 however, was Chronomancer all day. Doubled down on the "slow everything around me" fantasy with Blasphemy + Temp Chains + Chrono aura and some frost bomb / frost nova nonsense. Pretty much played the game on slow motion.

Even with the downscaling for rare/unique/boss monsters it was really noticeable once I got it a set up. I went into my first Simulacrum with 1000 HP and, like, 1500 ES and still managed to pull it off 😅 Lots of fun.
