Website down for maintenance for a bit, they're releasing item filter info and adding the skill tree on the website for PoE2. Unless they magically unfucked their terrible website architecture though, it'll still only show the current 0.4 tree until the patch.

Here's how it generally works to make an uber weapon:

  • You start with a base with high enough ilvl to get the T1 rolls you want
  • Perfect orb of augmentations until you get T1 Phys % or whichever elemental damage you want, if you fail, orb of annulment it back to empty like you were using scours in poe1. Annuls are not cheap btw. you can use 2 augs for each annul because it doesn't matter what the other affix (suffix) is.
  • Then you use a greater essence of abrasion to take it from magic 2 affix to guaranteed flat phys 3 affix rare. (2 prefix, 1 suffix)
  • now you use an omen of sinistral necromancy to guarantee that using a jawbone will add a prefix. you also use an omen of the liege or similar to guarantee that the desecrated prefix is Amanamu or Kurgal or whichever you want. you could also use the omen that lets you reroll it twice if your chosen abyss guy has more than 3 mods.
  • now your prefixes are done.
  • Now you want to fill the suffixes so that there are 6 mods, you can use an omen of greater exaltation (next exalt adds 2 affixes instead of 1) and use it on a Perfect exalted orb since those are expensive.
  • Now you can use a perfect essence of battle which is guaranteed to replace one of your junk suffixes with +5 skills. <----- this is where 0.5 breaks this process
  • Then a perfect essence of Haste which is also guaranteed to replace a suffix with Onslaught. 1/3 chance to remove your +skill, but then you just use another perfect battle for another 2/3 to replace a different suffix. keep doing this till you have both. it will never touch your prefixes.
  • You might be left with 1 crappy suffix, but there are ways to fix it without starting over depending on how much you want to spend.

Yeah this is more or less what I figured. Seems they just added some RNG to the finishing of the items, but you can get fucked on RNG at the finishing steps and still have a pretty good item/item you can just sell with the new changes.

It does seem weird they did the "crafted" modifier when it afaik exclusively applies to essences. Could've just said "essence modifiers" like they did in PoE1 after recombinator shenanigans.

The new alloys also work, and it's future-proofing for more currency later on.

Tree released early, poe2db tree has the changes already integrated:

Companion stuff seems pretty good but nothing that fixes pathing issues to get Lord of the Wilds/Giant's Blood or an equivalent. Mostly you can get companion deal additional dmg as chaos(also chance to poison), additional as cold, get more attack speed, get more movespeed and get more aoe, along with the old stuff. Every node is an hybrid player+companion node so it seems it favors split damage style rather than full companion stuff which I guess makes sense.

Someone remind me when its actually live, please. I'll definitely forget by the time I'm back.

I set up a trip for this weekend months ago and of course this falls on the date that I picked. Not that Im going to race or anything, but I think I'll miss the weekend only drops (unless I can cram it in on Sunday night.. maybe.) Which is kind of where my minds at, even though I've already forgotten wtf those drops even are.

The crown tracking kills is probably a freebie to entice people into buying the standard tracking from the cash shop since it only matches a certain "look" but free is free.

Also - slightly annoyed they stopped last season midday yesterday. Idek what I'll be missing, but I feel like its pointless to play the character now.

Guess the Q&A with mark/jonathan/ghazzy/darth yesterday resulted in Jonathan getting them to add the ability to jewel orb item skills now. So you don't NEED a level 20 skill on an item which will be huge for getting a lot of builds rolling. You'd still want a level 20 for max dps and maybe some specific thresholds, but now you can get one of the cool spark/ember fussilade newb weapons and actually add supports as you level.

Considering the small amount of sockets, it's going to be hard to find the best in every slot with all this new stuff. Well probably the unique rune but this shit 100% feels like it's gonna be worth 30+divines each, no way they made it easy to find, so that's going to be for the super endgame shit.

I like the leveling ones a lot too. +20% all resist but -10%max is really neat to fix your resist to a decent level and the spirit one is nice to get some early spirit stuff done. Just slap that in a Tabula with other useful things and you don't need to buy too much. I wonder if they'll have a movespeed one too so you can zoom faster.

I guess I'm going to be buying a stash tab for this stuff. There's a stash tab sale next week so I'll grab one then, have a ton of points that have been sitting there for years for nothing.

Mannn that sucks for the new Spirit Walker who gets penalized for using runes in gear instead of idols. Super funny that they added it THIS expac. Might be a tweak coming there as that just makes that perk a big no-no for this league and it's honestly probably needed to make any companion + minions build work.

I’m ok with the build guide being late, the price checker is fucking huge QOL, I play in my man cave that’s basically a theater room and my movie theater chairs have stands on the arm that can hold food by I put laptops on them when gaming to read guides. If I had to choose which one is delayed I’d choose the guide all day without a second thought, being able to hold down y to price check saves more time and earn more currency than being able to know what gem to socket in my spells

Build guide is easy to "emulate" by just having your phone or a tablet or a 2nd screen or whatever too, price checking is a lot more annoying without typing unless you're on PC
