GGG's decision to tie certain leagues to certain BIS items is so fucking retarded. GGG are great at what they do, but they also put out some absolute dogshit league mechanics at times and it's going to be bullshit being forced to slog through those to farm specific items you need for a build.

They said in the Ghazzy interview that they don't want to make a league mechanic like the genesis tree cover every slot because it'll make players feel they need to play a specific league mechanic over another. They also said they don't want it to totally invalidate all rare drops but I feel this argument is weaker as rare drops are already weak and they need to address it sooner or later.

And yet in that same interview they said they want to tie league mechanics to certain BIS items.

WOW maybe your calling in life is to be a dev and show them how its done. Anyways its certain BIS for certain builds, not all builds. For instance he mentioned minion shit which does not roll on ground loot. and anyways thats the beauty of this game, you dont have to farm shit. You can just continue to farm whatever the fuck you like to farm and just buy it. Options are there. Youre not forced into anything other than maybe running SSF, in which its an entirety different thing.

50% off beta access is interesting. One last giga money grab before 1.0 launch.
Great move IMO and I hope they make millions. If any company deserves this its them. I mean how many years of free great shit have they provided us over and over in POE1 and 2? And will continue to do so when this goes 1.0. Now we have 2 free games which are perpetually patched with great content every few months. Best thing Is how passionate these dudes are too. Rare thing to see from AAA or AA studios.

I dont think I've seen someone glaze a game or get so angry about criticism here in a long time as mkopec about poe2.

Deadrabbits Plant Abyssal Lich will be my starter. Plant Druid was super strong and this one seems even better.

Being a Gardener in 0.4 was real OP, and like 3 button build.

I did a tactician permafrost xbow build for 0.4 and I had a blast. Shotgunning your way through packs of mobs was really fun, and it was also a solid boss killer. During act 3 I managed to craft an awesome xbow with +3 skill modifier,+% phys damage and added phys damage, it lasted me to mid mapping and sold it for 3 div.
I farmed the Ultimatum trial for those runes you get at the end, they sold for ~10 div each and I could do them in around 15 minutes, it was a good money maker. It was also great to run Abyss, and got a couple of omens I sold for 100 div.

I tried whiplash and twister with ice-tipped arrows hunter up to act 3, can someone explain me why ice-tipped arrows works maybe 2 out of 3 times ?

As a PoE1 zoom zoom fag, PoE2's early campaign always makes me nope the fuck out with a quickness. Hoping to give it a real shot this league, something minion-ey. Will check that out.

It usally starts ramping in Act2 when you get some supports and Lightning Storm.

It was real chill to play, and if you got Storm on Critical its a 1 button spam with some boss cooldowns.

Can also be an Oracle build, thats the one I did in 0.4. But will try the Abyssal Lich one in 0.5.

If people are looking for a lazy build that's easy to gear and can do the whole game, I did the POEGuy Warbringer Totem build last season. It annihilates screens, is good on bosses, does the trials easy because you can dodge all day and not worry about damage. Highly recommend as a braid dead build that's easy to gear.
