I used a generic leveling guide. But some have said they could switch to Stampede when they unlocked it. I waited until the last interlude myself.

Followed this one.

Yeah warrior leveling is rough, rougher than some of the other classes for sure. I mean hes tanky so hes got that going for him, single target is there too. But lacking those AOE skills earlier on except for the rolling, stopping mid animation, and bone shatter meme. It wasnt a struggle, because of how tanky warriors are, but it was god awful slow.

I really think they need to redo some of the start skills so that ALL classes have acess to an easier aoe skill for pack clearing early on. Staves were the same thing with monk. Holy shit that was annoying. I pulled out thew bow, lol.

Hour in at work on the war, playing like a ranger I’m 22, also it sucks most on the war because there just aren’t good passives to get and it still flies using widow hail and the cold quiver, add in polci when able and any class can do act 1 and 2 with the set up.

I did mainly Leapslam and Boneshatter. But it was rough at times. It helps twinking with a good weapon and upgrading often.

Fuck me I was saving up to try that lich bow build and Poe’s main YouTube channel just blew it up

Managed to get the war to maps while working 8 hours and going to my dads birthday, ascendancy and maps tomorrow!

Ya I'm levelling that leap slam Titan and it feels SO much better than anything else I've played so far in POE2.

I can definitely say the exact opposite about leveling the xbow lich as ed/c. Worst leveling build I've ever played in either PoE... at L75 the sheet dps was about 1/5 of what my Deadeye was doing at the same point. I suppose it also doesn't help that my atlas tree is still set up for juicing T15s to the max either, but goddamn it is a slog getting to 78 to equip the xbow.

On the bright side, I had a -5 Constricting Command drop last night, and combined with flipping a mispriced Astramentis I actually had enough currency to get everything the Lich needs to fully function and still have as much currency as when I started. Not sure what I'm going to do about getting a L19 Requiem upgrade though. Keeping the same phys dps is going to be a bitch; 10-16 div for small downgrades and actual upgrades start at 29. At least mine looks like its value has gone up to about 7 div, but still...

Really hope this build is as good as people say. Kind of have a 'grass is greener' feeling about it, especially coming from lightning arrow.

Probably a gear issue but I could never get my LA Deadeye league starter to feel very good. It could kill everything and I got to T7s before switching but I never really dug it. Enjoyed Ice Strike monk much more than LA.

I love the LA Deadye, it’s a great league starter but I played it last patch way too much. Love the ice strike hollow palm monk but now I’m doing the Titan warrior linked previously, it’s so much fun.

Yeah, I had really good bows the whole way so everything just melted, plus the extreme QOL boost you get the moment you unlock rhoa mount made it the smoothest leveling I've ever done. Having to slowly go up one map tier at a time since it was still day 1-2 really sucked because it was obvious that I could have been doing T10+ immediately. As a league starter, I don't think it could get any better.

With this ED/C abomination I'm twinked to the gills (slightly outdated I guess, but I'm not about to spend divs on upgrades when I can punt the whole thing in 2 levels) and it's still a total slog. And all I'm doing is T1-3 garbage maps that have no events or any juice besides my atlas tree, which I had to reset back to all the most easy/boring nodes.

Just had a viper command with 2 fewer drop, divined it and went to 5 first go, said fuck it and corrupt both of mine because fuck it why not.

Hit an extra socket on one 30 spirit on the other, put the double socket one back on the warrior and put up the 30 spirit for 60 div see what happens.

I'd agree about Act 1 ED/C, but for me, Act 2 was when it came online completely. The two biggest game changers was putting 10 or even 20 quality on Contagion so it hits 1/2 more targets, and similarly, linking ED with Chain. Those two things completely fix the problem of failing to get ED to spread properly. Single target I'd rate as like B- or B in terms of damage (you guys are using dual Dark Effigies, right?), but it gets bonus points since you're doing DoT and that gives you leeway to move around a lot more to focus on not dying (important for me on HCSSFbtw).

Currently doing a Warrior, Forge Hammer + Leap Slam, but Titan's Grip with a shield. Getting that shield on (should be no surprise) with just a few block nodes to get ~50-54% block made me feel infinitely tankier. I wanted to dabble in Shield attacks but it's decently reliant on a high armor rating on your shield, and I didn't have anything special, so it didn't feel great compared to a 2Hander Leap Slamming. But for anyone interested, this guy put out a great video breaking down all the skills and they look pretty dang good:
