Well so how is he doing it in 4 hours in this video then?

In the video hes got a very specific setup AND he's skipping all ascendencies.

Some of it might have been changed/nerfed in .4 as well.

I flipped through a video of Carn doing the campaign in six. If you're a sweat that seems like the benchmark.

Actually nevermind it looks like they did do it in about 4, when I was bouncing around streams yesterday I think he still had his timer running but I think he was helping someone else in the group finish.

It's not fast, but entangleme plus thunderstorm feels great. And because they are duration spells, I cast then dodge. Feels kinda like minions. Cast thing then dodge. I enjoy this.

The bear feels bugged in all sorts of ways. The normal fissure then slam works okay but some other skills are wonky and buggy as hell.

Felt good bossing but the fat bear ass gets stuck all the time.

Think I will reroll minion cucks as I know that works okay.

Just wish they made some sort of endgame changes, even if only bandaid fixes. Think I'm skipping this one but druid looks pretty cool.

Biggest reason to rush to maps is to get a head start on the economy, but that only matters for the trade autists who like to hoard divs/mirrors.

Why would you want to rush to maps... isn't the end game of PoE2 turbo dogshit aids since release?

The endgame is in dire need of a complete redesign, but it's still far better than the campaign. I honestly have no idea how people complete it in 4 hours, every time I slog through it I feel like it takes at least twice that in just walking time. At least in PoE1 I can look at my level and the zone level and understand that I fucked up and should have skipped a lot of the stuff I killed and it's my own fault for being way overleveled, but in PoE2 right now I'm not even overleveled and it still takes ages to get through each zone.

I'm having a far better time than I did in 0.2 or in 0.3 (quitting each before completing the campaign) but PoE2 still has a bunch of the warts that it did back last December.
I've fought with the fucking gem window each league and I'm fighting with it again now. Trying to pick out supports for djinn abilities fucking blows. I can't trust the recommended supports (one djinn has a recommended gem it can't equip baseline), can't have the skill window and the gemcutting window open at the same time and getting info about each and every skill requires using nested windows or isn't there at all. I hate that the answer to this kind of shit is to use third party tools or other people's guides/content and copy them. I fucking loathe doing sanctum and ultimatum for ascendancy points. Getting getting gangbanged by a swarm of monsters because dodgeroll collides with something makes me want to log out. Needing to constantly check merchants for gear is shit.

I'm having enough fun to finish the campaign but I don't expect go much further.
