Incline Path of Exile 2 - now available on Early Access

as they decided to not nerf anything

With the exception of that warrior skill, because fuck warriors!
xD

to be fair...

They did some other nerfs as well, like the Temporalis 100ms limit... but it's still pretty funny to me that a warrior skill nerf made it to the top of the list for skill changes

What warrior skill nerf? They did a globar nerf to physical damage as their buff to armor also buffed all monsters..

I've played a sorceress and ranger to the early level 70s. Now I'm working on a warrior. I actually failed to kill the molten vault boss due to running out of time. His single target damage is incredibly bad, and this is with a few nice rares I had in my stash.

I'm not using a guide/build or anything but still, was not expecting it to be this bad against bosses.

 

[Jermu]

yeah for lower damage setup I used more firewall + orb of storm + conductivity vs rares to boost damage and inflict debuffs, not really utilizing those well in that video since its been a while

also open map is not really ideal when u have low damage since no bounces from walls (but for breaches open maps are king)

warrior damage got slightly nerfed since armor buff affects enemies too

 

[Peachcurl]

ELOOOOON! You didn't pick up the Chaos orbs! AGAIN!!!

I have tuned my filter so I pick up everything that drops and is shown
there are still few rares I should filter which sale value is not really high (shields / armour related stuff comes to mind)

Ah that, I guess it was "killing the servers" more than chain exploding Heralds of Ice.. they said that changing skills and combinations that use bugs or cause server lag they do not consider nerfs.

 

[Jermu]

realized that I did not have controlled metamorphosis in my build so wasted around 30 minutes figuring out is there a decent spot for it

ended up here, took 6 points to reach (compared to my worst old 5 point jewel spot)

wild storm + mental toughness are great, exposed to the storm is solid for 1 point investment

not gonna get first approach since not heavy nuke build but looks very good skill
kite runner took 4 points and small passives are decent too (projectile speed/damage)

think this is it next gotta do build for maxroll.gg and become another youtube fuck who does shitty build guides


edit seems like there is some mirror dupe glitch now

price of mirror is less than half compared to last week (about 520 div~)

so far its been some asian cunts fucking up economy with their abuses

 

[ArchAngel]

Ok, I found a white Stellar Amulet, remembered from some video they can be sold for something. I look up trade site and see a lot of people selling them for 1 to 5ex. I see 5ex one have +7 to stats, mine has +5. Also many are there for days or hours and not sold so I put mine for 1ex.
1 minute later I get 30 whispers in 1 minute :D
One guy straight up says he will give me 20ex for it..
20ex is more than what I earn in 5h of low tier map farming..

I guess all those 1-5 ex were just trying to get people like me to sell it cheap.

EDIT: haha, and I just had another such amulet drop

Just found out about the power of Perfect Strike. And so the mind has changed.

base 20 ex
chance orb 4 ex
div 134 ex
clean astramentis 240~ div = 32160 ex

so each astra lotto would cost 20+4 = 24 ex

=> every 1/1340 chance orb needs to hit for breakeven result

and yeah price checking can be tedious when there are 100 asian fucks baiting people to sell items for cheap

few times I have gotten 100+ messages instantly all from asian names

also for chance bases (heavy belt, sapphire ring and stellar amulet) base roll don't make any difference since you will fix those items with div orbs later anyway if you hit

I've sold white saphire ring for 5ex in the meantime. So ingenuity belt can also be chanced?

 

[Jermu]

nope that is drop only, says error if u try

And here's me trying to mythic orb it in SSF I've got other items in droves (like 5 or more widowhails, kitoko, ming's heart and some amulet (don't remember which, might be the mana regen one for spark)), I wonder how long will it take

 

[Jermu]

think there is no info about how likely chance orbing items are in poe2, that was just math how often it needs to happen
I have probably chanced about 200 items so far, about 15 uniques from em but no jackpot yet

 

[lukaszek]

at long last ive pulled my first +4 chaos wand. All other mods were terrible and obviously +4 mod was first to go when using chaos orb...

 

[ArchAngel]

I brought my Galvanic Shards Witchhunter into endgame, bought a transition crossbow until I am high enough level for a 1-2 divine one.
Now due to sales of few of those white items I can also buy decent gear for other slots.

Gameplay is so much faster and easier than 3 casters I brought to endgame. This guy clears faster than ED+Contagion, BoneStorm, Cold shit spells and Frost Mage minions and I needed nothing more than 1 ex crossbow for it.. I have not even maxed my resists (elemental are around 50, chaos is 20) and I only died to bullshit Ritual that had tiny area to move inside and had spawned some tornado that killed me fast and also to some one shot from a rare that I didn't expect would be a one shot (totally my fault as I chose not to dodge away).
And bosses still die within 5s (unless they spawn adds at last moment and my Plasma blast controller autotargeting decides to switch to them :D)

So is there still any slower paced tactical combat or no?

Only if you play a mace warrior.

 

[abija]

and it's only slow, not tactical

 

[ArchAngel]

and it's only slow, not tactical

It is very tactical if you go armor for your defence as you can die easily so you need to play tactically.

 

[Quatlo]

So, if I'm getting this right, armour/es gear is useless since armor is useless too, you are better off just having twice the es?

Amazing design flaw

 

[Israfael]

It is very tactical if you go armor for your defence as you can die easily so you need to play tactically.

Not really, you just die from any pack of mobs that look funny at you, no tactics is involved. Unless you play some shit map like augury and use corridors to LOS the ranged mobs. Unless, of course, you are stacking block, then armor is 'fine' (as well as having 0 defensive stats - now i've leveled spark sorc and with 69% block it is hard to die if you don't get swarmed. Huge mana issues though, I'm net negative even with just spamming spark without using anything else)

Pure ES is also not good if you cannot clear the screen fast (as my SSF cold sorc learned), it just keeps you alive from occasional hits that pass through. Best is ES with block or evasion.

Use the support that reduces mana cost. Also if you are going spark you should also be stacking mana for Archmage which means you should have lots of mana regen as well.
