AG actually killed some of my enjoyment of Minions. I know it is pretty streamlined to build but I didn't use one for a long time, and then when I did my minions did so much better, to the point it felt bad not using it.
So now I just don't play minions.

I think you have it backwards, the bleed ascendency does nothing for bleed, not the bleed masteries, because you don't take aggravate bleeding on gladiator, you take these masteries. 1 is also defensive, which is a decent mastery point. 3 dot multi is exactly a mastery, idk what your on about there. Crit helps with going perfect agony, which is fine, and the aggravations are all fine?

Yes you do and I've had to do this for several years. I always grab his semi-strict filter and go through it myself section by section. There's no other way. It eventually becomes my own strict or uber strict but with many of his hidden cards showing.

>reminder that Jonathan admitted he hasn't played PoE1 in years since he started working on PoE2
he doesn't play poe, doesn't even play poe2, and is so out of touch he really thinks a 30 hour campaign every three months for league reset is a good idea.

Mark isn't perfect but ACTUALLY PLAYING THE FUCKING GAME earns you a lot of leeway and goodwill. Remember when Jonathan was asked to stream his own gameplay so we could see "the vision" for "meaningful combat" and ended up backing out and refusing?

he's literally the GGG equivalent of Steve from Digital Extremes; the game immediately improved when he stepped down to exclusively work on the technical side of the game and could gush about all the lighting engine updates and wasn't dragging the game's content development back and forth with whatever caught his attention that week leaving it abandoned afterwards.
Jonathan showed more excitement talking about how he had fun personally coding the Temple in poe2 than he ever did once discussing mapping or the atlas or actual gameplay. Stick him in the autist closet and put mark in charge of both games.

Endgame is objectively horrible. It is not worth playing because the only viable "farm" is the temple (which is terribly annoying to set up) and maybe abyss spam. It is getting an endgame overhaul and needs it even more than PoE1. PoE1's endgame was good, but stale. PoE2's has never been good.

poe2 will be free next league so you mongoloids can stop arguing and play both

All of these Pathfinders are using Corrupted Soul + Supreme Decadence but I have no clue why they are doing that over just using Burden of Truth which would function exactly the same. You then don't have to dedicate your timeless jewel slot for a weak keystone. Just for the slightly better recovery?

>>558938757
poe2 was free in 0.3 and 0.4, everyone in the thread has played it. that's why we know it's hot garbage

I genuinely wish that PoE2 kept its niche and they stayed the course with the difficulty of 0.1

Aside from the many bugs/issues, I actually thought the difficulty of 0.1 was great. I had to fight Geonor like 5 times and fully understand all of his skills and abilities and it was the fucking act 1 boss. He felt more like a boss fight than anything in PoE1 except for the pinnacle bosses. I remember having trouble in Act 2 and actually grinding out like 2 levels and some gold to get some gear since I was falling behind on resists. It was sweet.
>But do you wanna do that every league?!?!
0.1 was always the hardest the campaign was gonna be. Natural power creep from leagues, new skills, classes, and general balance would have always made it easier over time. Now PoE2's campaign is just as easy as PoE1, just slower.

>>558938825
keepers late game builds dont translate to 3.28, the grafts gave everyone superpowers you won't have now

>>558938921
the question would still be relevant for 3.28 unless grafts are interacting with energy shield in some way and that doesn't seem to be the case

I play both PoE1 and 2. I have 4.3k hours in PoE1, and nearly 600 in 2. I think I got a pretty good idea of what is going on in both games.
I think PoE2 is gonna be great but it is going to take a long time to get there. Even 1.0 will probably not be great. I am betting by the middle of 2027 PoE2 will be in a state where people like it.

Keep in mind, part of that is that PoE1 and 2 now have dedicated teams instead of people flip flopping back and forth. I think this will naturally lead to both games developing clear identities that will benefit both in the long run. That is why I said the middle of 2027 cause I think it will probably take at least a full year + change to get it to that state.

I like og diablo and torchlight 1-2, never played poe, is poe2 enjoyable without looking builds/guides up or is autistically minmaxing things to follow the meta a requirement?

>>558938643
> the only viable "farm" is the temple
Literally every farm is viable. Even trial of chaos

>>558939102
No, the economy got legitimately ruined because of the Temple and hyper inflation set in AGAIN because the end game has been a weird band aid solution they just left in until, presumably, 0.5

>>558937068
Throw everything away and start again on Wednesday at the earliest

>>558939083
PoE2 is fun as an actual action game for the most part, at least in the campaign. People don't like the end game that much, but the actual campaign is fun.

However, I don't know if you wanna play right now because in like 1.5 months they're releasing the 0.5 update which is gonna change a lot of shit.

>>558939251
>>558939083
Sorry, I failed to answer your question and yes the campaign and mapping can be done without looking up a guide as long as you're not a fucking retard.

RELEASE DUELIST NOW

remember when they added async to PoE 2 and it was perfectly fine but when they added async to PoE 1 they had to implement anti-scam mechanics LMAOOO

>>558939083
poe2's builds are completely on rails so sure

>>558938643
Citadel farming is quite profitable this league because of cheap Grand Project and Visions of Paradise tablets from temple. I can get up to 200 divs/hour.

>>558939327
Duelist is being saved for the 1.0 release, which will also have Templar.

The newest holy skills in PoE1 are based on the new templar skills in PoE2, but Jonathan himself said that not having swords in the game before 1.0 will be a mistake. 0.5 will be the end game rework + new ascendancies + league mechanic and then after that is 1.0 with the finished campaign, gladiator + templar, and a new league mechanic.

1.0 is being announced at Exilecon.

>>558939083
Yes. I play trade and use build guides many times in poe 1, but I made it a point to play poe 2 as ssf and no guides. If you like arpgs you will probably like poe 2.

>>558939389
>200 divs/hr
Hyperinflation in PoE2 is such a problem lol

>>558939387
totally unlike Kinetic Blast LOL

>>558939083
>>558939387
This.
It's one of the good things about them locking down builds and forcing certain combinations. It's a lot harder to fuck up and not hit damage or survivability breakpoints to be able to comfortably progress.

>>558939251
>the campaign is fun
Act 1 is good and flows nicely and everything else afterwards is just awful. Having to constantly go back to the caravan and ship in act two and four means you can never get into a flow state where you chain zones together. I don't enjoy moving at a snail's pace through massive zones. The campaign feels like playing through Diablo 2's act three for 8 hours.

>>558939627
Act 3 is the only one I dislike. I never considered Act 2 or 4's central location to be an issue considering I'd go back to town frequently anyways. However, I do agree that I think 4 could do with the ability to travel to the different islands with less clicks or something.

I also do admit it is weird that we have one act with a moving caravan and then one with a boat that you travel around on, which are kind of similar. But I never found either act to really be frustrating. It is really just Act 3 for me that sucks, which it seems is just a thing for every ARPG I guess.

>>558939627
>>558939802
how long does the entire poe 2s campaign last?

I think Polaric Devastation is an underrated ring.

>>558939802
Act3 is the most linear. It's just one long zone after another.
I fucking hate the canal area the most

>>558939942
If you're a speedrunning tranny, you can do it in four hours by constantly rolling and spamming grenades, but the average player is going to take probably 10-15 hours.

>>558939952
I think you're underrated

>>558940176

>>558940081
>if you beat poe 1s campaing in 4 hours you are a god
>if you do the same in 2 you are speed running tranny
what happened

>>558940427
No one said anything about PoE1 bro.

>>558940427
Tie23 was the last God, we're stuck with trannies like TyTy now and they get made fun of constantly.

Travelling through the world in poe1 is more immersive than poe2. You're actually on a journey in 1. Reminds me of DS1 which i think was the first game to really pitch that. 2 feels way more downscale. Only act 1 is really interconnected and the map being pseudo generated makes it feel small. Act 2 and 4 feel more like maps because they're spiritually disconnected.

>>558940584
PoE1 really begins to lose that same feeling starting in even Act 2. The bandit quest feels like a really bad, video gamey justification for making you run around in different directions and going up side paths and shit. I am not saying Act 2 ruins it, but you're already getting to that sort of stuff then.

Also we all know that act 4 and onwards sucks.

>poe 2 discussion before the poe 1 league.
I think it might have to be holy hammer, but I've never slammed before.
Any slammers have some insight about ascendency choice?

>>558940805
Zerker is nice since you get attack speed from rage, but Slayer is probably better overall.

Did the devs mention if other skill gems in the same link set also get supported by imbued level 1 supports?
ie. if my Stone Golem gets Minion Life imbued will my Chaos Golem linked to SG get affected by Minion Life too?

>>558940883
You can't link other skills with them IIRC.

>>558940883
I remember them showing that you were only allowed one imbued gem per item

>>558933113
i want to like it but then i think about it and dominating would jsut be a straight upgrade? Many more minions with aoe slams, rare giving auras and vaal dominating being pretty crazy

Sure i'll use it lvling on my way to dominating but once i'm done no looking back

>>558941009
Sure, but what about unimbued skill gems?

>>558938825
not playing that but it looks like corrupted soul + what's on the replica soul tether gives more life as extra ES than the Burden of truth
and they all want to use elegant hubris for the endurance charge generation on hit so they can't get corrupted soul off glorious vanity to use together with burden of truth for even more life as extra ES
and i know that endurance charge generation when you get hit is comfy

>>558941027
I was thinking of running them both. Dominating Blow minions have a decent duration and are easy to proc with melee splash or a source of additional strike

>>558940883
are you retarded?

>>558940805
berzerker is the best by far. intimidating cry is the biggest damage boost in the game. zerker gets its bonus on every attack, and gets to idle at max rage.

the annoying part of the skill will be upkeeping power charges. chest eldritch implicit and power charge on crit should be enough

What do you think the best aoe scaling method will be as zerker, besides stealing the jug node?

>>558942120
Just take Brinkmanship.

>>558923526
Have they said what they did to the widowhail node?
Nerfed?

>>558942120
do we know what aoe is going to be needed for overlaps?

>>558942207
They are revealing the sabotaging and tubbing on Monday apparently.

>>558942207
5% less movement speed for each bow skill you've used recently

>>558942207
Its now 25% be happy :)

>>558941456
It's an easy fix for noncrit early endgame. You slap on Romira's Banquet + RT just like for Flicker Strike of Power

>>558942287
No, the temple footage had the shit going all over the place, which is why I want to play it. Probably few overlaps, but it looked really satisfying to map with

>>558942207
Why do people care about that?
Spark widowhail is dead since they change the quivers to only be bow attacks with proj

i get that, but emerge speed is this totally separate thing that's not placement?
why the hell is emerge speed even a stat

>>558945860
>>558946102
Totem placement speed affects how long your character is stuck in place while summoning a totem. Now Totem placement speed also affects the speed at which totems sprout from the ground to when they start their attack/cast animation, which was unaffected by that stat previously

>>558946102
the placement speed is the animation on your character, the emergence speed is the animation on the totem. Before you could get your placement speed to under 0.25s but the emergence speed was always around 0.6s. Now you can get that under 0.3s easily which makes totems like 40% snappier.
