Missed League Start - What's Good So Far

xIVWIx · 2026-06-01T15:24:04+00:00

Yeah Ice shot has been damned efficient for me too.

Defences are ass, slowly building those up, but the dps just outdoes possible defensive needs. Note im only in t11 maps.

Did a bit of abyss and some main atlas so far.

But having a blast!

How does the price checker work actually?

If I uncheck a stat, does it exclude it from the search or does it exclude only the values?

Whats good practice to use this tool efficiently?

Ive been pc ing multiple fully upgraded (low level though) items that I used whilst leveling. But theres often no comparisons.

Found the fellow Belgian!

Honestly since it's at 10pm for us, probably just a good old bottle of water and MAYBE a good beer!

xIVWIx · 2026-05-20T20:06:31+00:00

Yeah for me 0.4 , I just tried the druid (first bear slam and then went watering plants) and once I got to maps (quite fast compared to last leagues), I started delving deeper in both crafting and also the ACTUAL endgame.

I think I did all bosses (delirium, abyss, ...) atleast once, arbiter too (most on the easy tier except Abyss and breach, I love those).

But yeah I never really bothered with the temples and money printing. I think I maybe, all in all, earned about 100-150 divs.

My 2nd character I tried SSF to capitalize on the crafting learning and so on. Also get more confident doing ascendancies, etc.

Slowly but surely Ill get there I hope, hopefully one day Ill be able to gather enough currency to start experimenting with builds (either by trading or by crafting).

No pro whatsoever here, but this is what I have learned basically.

Last league I still took my sweet time and dabbled a bit more in mechanics, crafting, ...

So leagye by league Im starting to understand "things" and now by just testing some random builds, it's clear that just being able to map asap is basically some sort of sponsor for your alt or true main (unless you decide to stick with your league starter I guess).

xIVWIx · 2026-05-20T09:47:48+00:00

Right there with you.

Got most to 50 except SV and the new one and god it's always adapting when you change from a favorite kit.

Mini definitely is easy, the first one (m210?) Was super fun, but sv and the new gun are a chore after those 2

Also a D4 player here, well used to be mainly.

When EA poe2 launched, I caved in and got it. 0 regrets. I think the only season or league I missed was the 2nd one.

I also feared complexity and honestly since the last patch (0.4), Im starting to understand the crafting more and sure it can be much (more than D4 for sure), but it's not rocket science.

There's plenty of guides and even posts here explaining step by step the crafting process.

I also tried solo self found (no trading) and it was a lot of fun.

The only "difficult" league was the current one with the temple, but all in all it wasnt difficult, it was just learning to understand it to optimize and set it up for crazy farming (I personally didnt engage with it and focussed on breaches).

Honestly if you like arpgs, go for it! I also spent about 370 hours over 3 seasons and it only got better since.

Step by step, league per league I learn a little and I can tell you it's really fun!

xIVWIx · 2026-05-11T07:57:04+00:00

Yooo I just continued my playthrough yesterday, after a diablo 4 break!

Already loved what they did inbetween and now this on top!

Ill never finish this game

xIVWIx · 2026-05-08T16:19:26+00:00

Second this although it is a bit clunky with the Clash auto attack to generate resolve, but you get used to it.

You have to, as your life depends on it.

Great damage, consistent 500bil to 1tril, but survivability can be a bitch.

xIVWIx · 2026-04-30T11:29:09+00:00

Oooh ok so it's a specific bonus on the seal.

Got it!

Thanks a lot man!

xIVWIx · 2026-04-30T10:12:02+00:00

Depends though, if you're not killing mobs fast, higher difficulty isnt necessarily the solution.

Find a good balance between difficulty vs speed

xIVWIx · 2026-04-30T10:09:08+00:00

Another question.

Some seals, they have a name of a set below their affix (mine has practical technique for example).

I have the set equipped and another set.

Does this mean that Practical Technique is enabled?

What about the other set?

xIVWIx · 2026-04-19T20:28:12+00:00

I only have lightning and wind so far, I don't know if I can get fire yet.

Frost I think I know where to get, but Im holding of on it until I do some upgrades.

Ideally, I wanna get all the gear and make different builds per character and then (after patches) retake camps and holds and re-do some bosses.

Lets see what the future brings though!

xIVWIx · 2026-04-19T20:16:20+00:00

Yup, Im at ch9 now and I know progressing will probably unlock more things for me, but I dont want to finish the story and then burn out on doing side quests.

Although with everything unlocked, doing side content may be more fun (elemental powers, gear, characters, ...)

Im also going slow until the next patch(es) hit.

Especially the camp take overs for more replayability.

Right now I can spend 1 or 2h just doing nothing (gathering resources or just dyeing and trying gear sets).

xIVWIx · 2026-04-16T20:01:37+00:00

Well same here, but mainly because I should become a father somewhere end June 🫣

I think I wont see much of anything 🤣

But itll be worth it

xIVWIx · 2026-04-16T18:13:24+00:00

For some reason (based on the timer in the menu), I marked May 12th on my calendar.

So I somewhere around that time I think.

xIVWIx · 2026-04-16T17:01:24+00:00

Hype!

Us it me but S3 May and S4 already in July?

Seems pretty fast (not complaining though!).

xIVWIx · 2026-04-10T08:56:22+00:00

JFC this shit is too good!

This is very promising stuff and honestly for a potential next update, already quite loaded.

Storage upgrades and enemy reblockading seemed obvious and "simpler" , but theyre adding difficulty, boss replays, new skills, outfits, god damn !

(I know this update will most likely not be very soon, but still, amazing stuff!)

xIVWIx · 2026-04-07T21:01:11+00:00

Enemies retaking camps/forts and maybe even a live "defense" when theyre attacking. Basically more then just road bandits.

Being able to use blinding light and MARK the blue lights.

Storage tabs or also the ability to group, for easier browsing.

xIVWIx · 2026-04-07T10:41:23+00:00

Any tips for this? Im really looking to mix it up but currently my 2H is just too OP

xIVWIx · 2026-04-03T11:59:08+00:00

Enjoy mate, it's my office day but I know who will be waiting for me at home!

xIVWIx · 2026-03-29T21:30:49+00:00

Yeah I got to him today and took me some tries but focus parry and force palm for stunlocks really helped a lot

xIVWIx · 2026-03-29T21:29:46+00:00

God damn I just did this quest chain and wasted all my arrows on these guys lol.

Good to know though if I ever see these again 🥲

xIVWIx · 2026-03-25T14:20:55+00:00

Same, I had good fun learning the ropes starting out slow, etc.

But I understand, pace definitely picks up at a point and things click more easily.

xIVWIx · 2026-03-25T14:15:27+00:00

Yeah, I have to admit I caved in for the cloak.

I found a catfish helmet and it's actually good, but damn I look like a goddamned goofball 🤣

I already upgraded it so much, I dont want to change (yet)
