Im hoping a new weapon would bring in at least a small hint of "fresh" content. The new campaign parts didnt do much for me in that regard.
The saving grace of the new interludes were they were quick

With Druid hopefully they'll also be releasing claws, because they need new weapons soon. I can't do another quaterstaff or mace build. Also hoping for new spells, preferrably physical ones like Ethereal Knives and Blade Vortex
I hate maces

by removing the rare icons from the minimap, the devs once again proved that they are fucking imbeciles

Guessing it's only a matter of time before they put em back, agreed it was a dumb decision.

Think they should also allow map completion for all rares for the people that dont want to fight the boss, but doubt that one will happen.

My biggest problem is nothing feels better than LA/LR I did monk with cold/lightning and flicker, did the King Kong barb, cocaine ants witch, and nothing beats LA/LR. I wanted to get away from it, but I found a build with Amazon that stacks defenses and still hits over 150k sheet dps and even falling asleep while mapping one night for a few minutes i didn’t die.

LA/LR is just so much dps you can sacrifice a ton of it for speed or defenses, I don’t want LA/LR to be nerfed, I’d like everything else to be brought up to be as good.
I am still fairly new to POE/POE2, didn't enjoy .1 but came back for .3 and enjoyed LA/LR Deadeye as a starter, went all the way to through campaign and started maps with it. Saw some videos and went through again with a Empowered Leap Slam/AfterShock Titan and OMG has been the best experience ever. All the dancing I did previously with the Deadeye has been washed away with the Titan; Armour applies to Elemental Damage makes me the Tankiest boy on the block, and once I had access to the market I could buy enough phys DPS to just walk/jump slam through any boss. My Titan experience was far better than my LA/LR Deadeye, and I can't believe more people aren't playing them.

I have greatly enjoyed .3/.3.1, though, and am now a full POE believer

Warrior (titan and to a lesser extent warbringer) have been solid since day 1 despite all the QQ about armour/slow skill speed etc. and is my #1 fav SSFHC starter for sure.

I've found the xbow lich to be way better than LA deadeye was. Galvanizing alone is comparable to the full LA+LR+TS setup which makes it way more controller friendly, and you've still got Requiem when you need to melt a boss instantly. It's basically one button with a whole shitload of spirit passive skills. I'm sure the ceiling on LA is a lot higher if you have a multiple-mirror setup like fubgun does, but at something more reasonable for a normal person I don't think it's even close. Probably easier now too since I got fucked by the 'featured build' video just after I started. Some of the core items like the xbow itself are a third of the price now compared to when the video first dropped. Doing LA well means swapping to crit, and that gear has only gotten more expensive as the league goes on.

I'm also just as fast on foot as my deadeye was on the rhoa without any of the heavy stun bullshit to worry about (and it sounds like they broke that in 0.3.1 too, tons of people were complaining post-patch about constantly getting knocked on their ass even with Brutus' Brain), and it's simple to get enough 'reduced movement penalty' that there's no difference while shooting either.

I’m not deadeye I’m Huntress Amazon, I use the double evasion ascendancy and have over 80% evasion rating and then use a ES chest that with jewels and annoint make the chest give 4K plus ES along with 60% deflection rating that deflects over half the armor and the chest also has 20% mana before life. I don’t get knocked off the Rhoa and I don’t die, all this while having over 130k sheet dps, hold down LA and just zoom around the map.

Did they fix the bug where the end game is absolute garbage?

Technically not relevant to poe 2... but this seems like a good place to share this still.

End of the vod he pretty much confirms grim Dawn 2 is in planning stages. New engine coming from their RTS they are working on right now.

So I planned on quitting for the most part, aside from mindlessly grinding a few maps here and there, but then I dropped a Kalandras Touch ring for 18 div, and some extra socket exceptional that sold for 5 div.

Now I'm thinking about trying to swap to fubs crit build, but I feel like I will need twice the currency to make it work.

Is the quiver / bow enough to make the switch, or do I need a whole new set of gear?

Was mapping with a RL buddy the other day and he was quite surprised with the drops and asked if I was cheating running maps that were previously juiced from towers and I said hell yes, I’m going to use them all up before I even touch non previously juiced maps. He told me that we shouldn’t because next league we won’t know what it’s like, I told him next league everything is going to change again this is a bandaid and you will never have this much loot again STFU and enjoy the league faggot.

Am I wrong?

I put a bow in tab 15 if you want it, better than any bow i started with when switching to Crit.

Will take a look, I appreciate it.......just terrified I'll redo my passive tree and end up doing way less damage.

Right now I am around 22% crit chance but that's essentially just bow and quiver, and 3 arrows total. Will hop back on and take a look but if I take it, I'll throw my existing bow in its place.

I took a look and it was very similar to what I have now so I left it for another DeadEye up-and-coming person. I do appreciate it, though.

Guess I should make the passive swap to crit, but when I did it in POB I actually dropped 15-20k dps, so I wasn't sure I was ready.

Can try and drop my POB here, just not sure how to share it.
