Currently playing a Hollow Form monk with Whirling Assault attached, but Hollow Form just feels clunky. I think most of it stems from the fact that your Hollow Form illusions can't proc herald skills, can't proc hollow resonance, etc. I'm in T12 maps and doing fine, the build just doesn't feel smooth. Leveling up felt much smoother, oddly.

Damn when did this game get so fun?! Lvl 84 or 85 now and I haven’t done anything, not even made it far into that fortress area yet. And oh there are so many good builds this league, I’m playing this sniper shot bleed build that is 100% gonna get nerfed , basically one tapping t14 bosses in trash gear rofl, don’t think I’ve spent even a divine or two yet. Got this crazy helmet forget name for like 3ex, it creates this giant shadow mob that just follows you around and does slams all over the place it is WAAAAY too strong freezes rares and one shots groups of whites to blues lol. It’s also just such a cool unique , they’ve really done a great job with some of these items.

This is just a bananas league I think they knew everything was crazy broken overpowered but figured let’s just get it out there we have an assload of content to keep it going, also it’s hard to create a boring meta when there’s just so many broken overpowered things, brilliant strategy. Only a week in but I can easily see playing for months

League is cool. I'm 90 and have killed the arbiter and haven't filled out my main atlas and just started on my first smaller atlas. They changed the pace in a really good way.

New delirium seems meh but all the rest of the old ones seem cool.

Yeah, delirium seems to be the one thing they messed up. Busted my balls against a couple delirious maps and got a bunch of shitty emotions worth jack shit.

I am playing the huntress companion thing with a Silverfist. First levels until tame beast were somewhat hard, then I got Crowbell which I used until Silverfist. Now I have very bad gear, but with some 25% move speed boots I found and just run through places. I don't use skills. Still have my essense drain and contagion equipped, but don't press the buttons for them. Like the one boss in the campaign I often die to is the poison spear lady that blocks you in and the guards shoot inwards. She died before the mechanic activated. This is without any good items or companions that do much. I have another gorilla companion with an elemental aura. I tried farming for the haste aura, did 5-6 runs of the jungle map, and found two, but I didn't react quick enough to capture them because Silverfist went smash. I just said F it and went on my way. Not in maps yet, act 4, so assume it might fall off. But for now, it demolishes everything.

Just hit T12 / 13 maps and killed the first arbiter fight......man that fight is lame with lower DPS. Took probably 8-10 attempts and I had to swap to a mana flask that gained charges, otherwise I kept going OOM.

Am currently around 20k tooltip damage and still have to get the last 2 ascendancy points. (Level 81 I believe).

Ice shot is fun but certain bosses, Arbiter included, are very resistant to freeze.....so those fights take way too long. Gear is still pretty basic but I am resist capped ele-wise with like 11 chaos res - LOL.

Having way more fun than I did in .3, will see how long it lasts.

Finished up the Ritual quest line, boss fight, and passives. Really well done. Probably keep a couple ritual tablets running now while I go back to the fortress to work on atlas passives. Only small complaint is it seems ritual rewards are either HH/Mageblood jackpots or garbage 1EX uniques and low value omens. Not much there to grind out some currency.

Yeah it feels really bad to get lv 1-20 uniques at end game.

I don’t know who is racist me or GGG, found this map.

Alchemy and it turned into Intended confinement, then corrupted it and its Ancestral Determination, So the fatigue is real and they are intended for confinement and we need Ancestral determination.

Probably the most fun I've ever had in POE. If they can fix the early game a bit, add the new classes and finish the story they've got a great foundation. Helps having a god tier build and items as I mow down everything in front of me, but that's the fun part of these games. It's why the beginning is so painful because level 90 is a completely different game from 60 which is a completely different game from lvl 10. Feels like mutliple different games stitched through one outlet and the one at the end is by far the most enjoyable.

I just went blind with witch minion shit and granted that's probably cheating but act1 was retard easy.

Is it just melee that struggle in act1?

not all melee, maces do fine. it's pretty much just quarterstaves that suck ass in Act 1 - which you can overcome by just using something else until you hit act 2 and swap weapons and gems. You dont even need to respec, just spend your points as you normally would in act 1 but buy a +spellpower wand or staff and just use Contagion+Essence Drain.

Bow was braindead easy, especially being familiar with the boss patterns......was just slow kills using lightning arrow and lightning rod. I also probably had a terrible weapon at that point but it was just slow/boring, not difficult.

By Jamanra in Act 2 it started feeling a lot better.

Yeah act 2 is where everything is coming together. And it helps to know WTF to do in the acts too. So youre not fully exploring all the fucking zones not to miss anything. Still they need to fix this shit. Im betting the average clear time for campaign is like 15-20 hours, which is way too fucking long. Plus they are adding 2 more full acts which prob will be longer than the interludes.

Is every mechanic with arbiter a one shot? That shit is so unforgiving . I kept slightly overshooting dodge and if you’re even at the slightest border with the outside ring you lose. And the ones with the fire beams forget it , no chance for me. Finally beat it just from pure rng he went to some other phase where he didn’t do that mechanic the entire time.

Yeah, my campaign this league was close to 20 hours, maybe a touch more I dunno. I checked sometime in a4 and was at 15:xx but didn't check when I finished interlude or anything.
