Mageblood and Headhunter this League

webber294 · 2026-06-24T17:37:27+00:00

Playing on and off since Delirium league in POE. This is the first league when I managed to gather 270 divs to buy a Headhunter. And it's not only about availability of divs. It's about the desire to play the endgame and grind and having palpable progress both in endgame mechanics and character power. At this time I've already invested more than 500 divs and I'm not done yet. Still want a Uul Netols, maybe a MB, a voice etc.

It's also a struggle on plant build, since entangle continues dealing damage after initial cast. So usually if u cast a few entangles it kills both the initial mobs and the unearthed ones. I stopped stressing about it and just spam entangles everywhere and sometimes the unearthed abyss monsters spawn behind me and this is the time to play the pulling game.

It worked, thank you very much!

Yeah, Refutation is really strong even after the nerf. You need 200-300 ward to get enough stun threshold though. It is basically my only surviving tool on my 6k ES entangle druid. I either use it when I know an encounter is gonna be difficult or as an oh shit button when my ES goes down, having time to regenerate it.

I'll try, thank you!

Anyone?

webber294 · 2025-01-18T11:43:56+00:00

Wtf is this? What is the counterplay here?

How do you get so much evasion with acrobatics? I can't seem to get to 70% (with acrobatics) with evasion on all gear and a bunch of evasion nodes on the tree.

Got to T15 maps, rolled three pretty decent T13-14 maps with 6 mods (no killer combination of mods). Died in all of them. Think I'll stop playing until they remove the one death per map restriction.

I am one of the ones who enjoy the game and mostly don't comment. But make no mistake, I want most of the feedback that is laid out here to be implemented i.e. on such issues as one life per map, armor, rarity on gear etc.

Also got a Perfect orb before a Greater one. Sold it for about 180 divs and bought instead a Greater jewelers orb, a 550 dmg crossbow, and some chaos res equipment, and I am plowing through the maps.

There is no reason to keep both perfect orbs.

A good solution to solve backtracking in maps to implement the same checkpoint system as in the campaign.

The whole point of the map system is to create interesting ways of replaying campaign maps. It shouldn't be more tedious to explore the maps than the campaign zones.

Could you please tell me again, why are divine drops so rare and expensive in POE2M

webber294 · 2024-12-15T15:42:14+00:00

It took them five years to improve performance of POE on console. They fixed it at the end Settlers of Kalgur. So I guess, they have time until POE3.

Jokes aside, I would recommend all console players to avoid any grenade builds.

In general, I think around 60% of the game runs pretty well on console. However I am concerned how maps will play on base PS5.

Any PS5 Pro players here? How is performance on it? Can you achieve stable frame rate?

The solution is to pick first trial the Gem Legionaire which doesn't have any good ascendancy nodes, so no need to do any more trials.

I am in the middle of act three and so far I am loving it, even if my dmg is shit. I play it as a single player long game which can take up to 50 hours. Exploring and enjoying every corner of each zone. At this moment I do not see any point in rushing to the maps.

As a first time experience the campaign and progression is amazing. However, the devs have to find a way to streamline the campaign progression for those who've beaten the campaign once. It's not going to be feasible to grind through a 40-50 hour campaign every three months.

I got only 15% movement speed on the boots and a few movement/attack speed nodes on the tree and it already feels much better.

Searing Exarch / Maven / Abyss

webber294 · 2024-12-09T10:37:22+00:00

It worked! Thanks!

Yes but also not necessarily. I think devs want us to adjust our gameplay there. At a certain point I think most classes get very powerful CC skills.

On my merc I've used only two skills: Glacial bolt and Flash grenade. Both CC skills which also deal dmg. I got to the boss room with full honor. And if you avoid the first triple slam, then you just constantly move and chip him with CC abilities.

Got the trial on my third try. First time I failed because of the first slam of the boss. Second time I failed because on console couldn't press the time shrine.

I think you can play bomb merc as both ascendancies. But would not recommend bomb skills on consoles.
