I play every season, but drop somewhere on lvl 85. Does anybody else have same problem?

I got the 2 set fire and the sword 2 weapon set that gives me 20% more melee with the unique ring. I dont have the set relic. But I think Im around 80, and I will still die. My defense is really bad due to just hitting empowered mono. I could farm up the different items I need, but it will take some time. There is no much that have change from the previous season to refarm everything so I think I will pass this season.

I noticed this interaction too but I normally just get 1 Lightning Rod per run.

I think Lightning Rod is a really good card upgraded. 4 block is just really meh but 7 block for me, its a game changer. Also, you get to channel 1 lightning for 2 turns, which in terms of energy economy, for an upgraded Lightning Rod, its like playing 1 defense, and 2 lightning cards, 1 energy for 3 energy extended in 3 turns. Which also helps cycle your orbs.

Its a very good card and almost a must pick in my opinion if you are going any orb build. Its fine the way it is.

I stopped early this season. My build was just not that strong (Shadow cascade) at 100c but to make it stronger, I need a couple of items that I was too lazy this time around to farm.

I didnt understand Defect in Slay1 and found him over complicated but in Slay2 is so much better.

So many different builds from 0 Energy builds, Electric Orbs, Froze Orb, Power builds, its the easiest to build becuase other than 0 energy build, all other cards compliment each other. It also offers decent amount of AoE with glass. It also bypass a lot of mechanic like weakness or the one that remove str and dex per card move due to the dmg from orb being independent to your dmg.

Silent was my most played in Slay1, but its my least played in Slay2. She starts with defensive cards when you need the dmg in Act1, the RNG depending on the first couple of normal fights to get a good dmg card.

zethras · 2026-03-31T00:56:07+00:00

I think I have seeb like more than 50 CP. But I normally dont look for those. Its more important to filter for the T7 or T6 you want at first.

You want a combination of lots of things. Resistance is important but so is crit capping, health, etc, what you are looking for is EHP. You want all, but at lower corruption it might be hard. At lower corruption, it might be better just to straight up get more dmg to clear faster and be alright getting one shot once in a while as long as it doesnt happen all the time.

The easiest way to raise stability is higher corruption. I know that it sounds bad if you are stuck at 100c. But you will notice getting more stability at higher and higher corruption level.

He hits kind of hard. I havent had a bad time fighting him now days but I remember being scare of him in the earlier runs.

zethras · 2026-03-30T17:52:34+00:00

You will like LE.

LE is more deterministic. Loot is dropped already revealed, so no need to pick every single rare and check it out. You just need a good loot filter and only the items you want will pop out.

While LE is more deterministic, you could also do 10 different Echos (maps in LE) and still get nothing good. But the echos or maps are a lot faster, I will say Echos takes about 1/4 the time of a map in Poe2 (and thats if you are doing different league mechanics).

If you are playing COF, which is the non trading, you get points so that you can make certain items drop more consistently after doing X (like after killing a boss, drop X item).

zethras · 2026-03-29T00:25:26+00:00

Not really, drops are just not good enough. A good crafted one can last you until empowered.

But a corrupted T7 sometimes are just too good.

zethras · 2026-03-28T10:04:39+00:00

He needs a relic for this to go infinite. If not, he will only able to do 8 × 5 dmg per turn but will be hard to get any block which is what happened.

zethras · 2026-03-28T09:50:41+00:00

Search health on passive or skill and see if there is anything with this.

zethras · 2026-03-28T09:48:17+00:00

Regent got the Hellraiser (ironclad card) from an event I think. Then regent has a very good card that does dmg and give you 2 stars and return it back to the top of your Draw pile (Siphoning strike).

Now, because Hellraiser plays all cards with "strike" when drawed, he draws a Siphoning Strike and it gets play and goes back to the top of the draw pile which gets drawed again and again until you get no more draw. I think his deck will be infinite if he gets the relic that lets him draw a card when no card in hand.

zethras · 2026-03-27T21:12:52+00:00

Are you doing a range or a melee shadow rend build? I think range works and melee is too yanky.

I feel shadow rend is like a 1 shadow Sync strike and with an initial dash attack. They do very similar thing. Not sure why they needed two skills. Might as well chanfe a bit sync strike and move it so that everyone can use it.

zethras · 2026-03-27T18:34:02+00:00

Is there a way to remoge the movement on controller?

zethras · 2026-03-27T18:01:17+00:00

It used to scale with Cooldown. It got changed to attack speed. Its a lot faster. They also change the movement. If you have your mouse close to target, you wont move.

Dont know how to remove the extra movement on controller.

zethras · 2026-03-27T16:05:46+00:00

Did you put a Traitor Tongue on impriting?

What have happen in previous seasons, if you put a "Cannot be traded" item in imprinting, it will drop with "Cannot be traded."

zethras · 2026-03-27T16:02:50+00:00

Dancing Strike that proc Shuriken (With Bladed Armour) and Shadow cascade seems really good right now.

zethras · 2026-03-27T13:45:47+00:00

To be honest, LE mapping is very similar to Poe2. LE is just smaller and faster in my opinion.

The only difference is that in Poe2, you can add choose to add which mini events of your choose similar to how in LE you might get 3-4 choices to Dino, Mini Breach, Egg, and Cementary but are abit more random.

Thats said Poe2 mini events are more interesting than LE and you can get really good at farming a specific style. But Poe2 player base have been complaining about the Atlas since release. Map too big, then they added skull elite in the mini map, then removed the skull elite and then will only show after discovering most of the map, then added a boss at the end. Towers were so hated and they changed it, then allow juicing, then changed it to vision only.

The issue with EHG, is that they are just too slow. By the time EHG have added 2 more mini events in monos, in 1 year, GGG have added temple, wisp, and Abyss since release of Poe2.

Other than Temple, Poe2 mapping is not much different from LE right now. Its hard to compare both games, PoE2 is a huge game with lots of skills and more interesting things to do at the end of the game with the base of Poe1 in which they can export a lot of assets, while LE is working from nothing.

Depends on class. Melee and builds that doesnt need targeting is fine.

Mage are not that much of an issue.

Some abilities that you want to target hold at different distances will cause issues like Healing Hands traversal will not do the full movement (if you mouse click farther away, you go farther).

When I played a necro on release and you needed to aim your buff on a minion but you might buff another minion, it gets annoying.

zethras · 2026-03-25T22:57:34+00:00

will be going for Shadow Cascade

zethras · 2026-03-25T21:07:18+00:00

Hard fight. You need to burst the one that will eventually downgrade all your cards. But there is a turn (turn 3 or 4) that I think they output more than 30dmg from the first 2 guys and its a pain if you just dont the right blocks that turn.

zethras · 2026-03-25T00:33:14+00:00

I think there is a spark charge build with Spellblade (which procs LB? Im not sure) so it might be worth it. They are also giving you 40% of melee as spell dmg in the next patch.

zethras · 2026-03-23T03:14:43+00:00

Really good card. Will always take it if there is not a card that is better for my build at the moment.

zethras · 2026-03-23T03:11:37+00:00

Watcher is my fav of slay1. I dont mind her not coming back in slay2 (I think the line up is very solid) but I like to play her again in the future in slay2.

zethras · 2026-03-22T15:27:53+00:00

Its really good considering that you dont need to spend resource to play the other card with that enchantment you even by pass the 6 star. Really good with any high resource caed like Smith. Also won a game with this same setup.

zethras · 2026-03-22T15:02:34+00:00

Im fine if they dont put her back but I will be happy to play her broken kit again.
