I'm excited to play again. Pretty big newbie, I only have 60 hours in this game and I dont even remember that , so will be fun. I usually follow build guides though so I dont end up messing my character up.

I only have like 20 hrs. Didn't find this game all that fun at the beginning. It felt like a shell of a game to be at the time. Well see how it feels now.

I've popped in on a few different streamers practicing league starts and it's one person after another walking around at base movement speed doing Lightning Arrow Lightning Rod. The time it takes to get a character online doing what you want to be doing and feeling alright in the process is way too long.

Was gonna give Deadeye a shot since it's supposedly OP and I've also never played a bow character, but as it gets closer I think I may just wait another season or two to try again. Idk, I really want to like it, just didn't see enough added to make me care.

Will probably end up doing the campaign just to see A4 and the temporary interludes, but that may be it......dunno.

0 build made for PoE2 and no tree makes it kind of hard to plan anything seriously. Luckily compared to 1 you can much more easily A: wing shit and B: convert your build into another build that works. A lot of the latter is because the gear isn't overly complicated because it has limited affixes so within archetypes most "good" versions of gear are like 75% similar. It's not a bad thing to have until they really flesh out the game and you get into more complex shit like influence/eldritch implicits.

Make a caster with ES/spell damage/mana/resists and you're probably able to play most all casters.

Melee with flat phys and/or elemental on gloves/rings and you're set. Pick your Armour or ES/Evasion armor.

Much simpler than PoE1 right now where a lot of builds need X amount of stats to "work" and X amounts of other stats to be comfortable.

LE's problem is the exact opposite. Builds get online fast(too fast?) and then never change.
I dont find that the case at all. You pick a comfy leveling build to get to the monoliths, then farm some key pieces for the ultimate deeps build, then change. At least its what all the cool kids are doing. I mean it does not really matter in the normal game, but you hit those high monos and bosses and you find your shit sucks so you have to change.

ziggy d claiming that getting hit while sprinting is NOT an automatic knockdown.


this is a huge PR screwup if true. but certainly good to hear for gameplay. he suggests light stuns stagger, heavy stuns knockdown.

No complaints if sprinting is safer to use than they presented



It just looks so brutal in the trailer

I’m surprised I’ve heard none of these content creators talking about Unsight notable with deadeye, but I’m going to take advantage of it.

Called shots which is going to let you auto mark all targets around you combined with Unsight which blinds all enemies near enemies you mark and marked monsters cannot Crit. So blind lowers their accuracy making your evasion and deflection better, also lowers their evasion making it easier for you to hit them. So now you can’t be Crit, which allows you to get maps with critical damage and critical hit chance for monsters suffixes and nullify two suffixes.

Everyone knows tailwind is awesome dps and defense along with speed.

Auto marks is going to be super powerful, voltaic for clear and sniper for solo target or sniper if you don’t need the explosion from voltaic for your clear, Eagle eye giving 10% extra base Crit, along with the Crit nodes high Crit chance should be super easy.

Not being able to be Crit, eliminating 2 suffixes on juiced maps, will either completely reduce the chances of 1 shots or completely remove it (outside of the 1 shot mechanics) for Deadeye combined with its already super fast clear is going to be the new lightning spear build imo.

Most builds can be played as you level up, so if you prefer to start with a standard leveling build, you aren't changing how early a build can reach its final mechanical feel.

Voltaic and Freezing mark do a shitload of AE dmg on monster death and scale absurdly high with levels so I expect to see some Melee Deadeye builds that take advantage of that

You can pay money to get an MTX that will the goblins...and not stop the music. People were pissed. No idea if they changed that or ported it to PoE2 as goblin troupe faggotry usually subsides after league launch.
