New to the game: give me tips

Hello everyone. I've had the game for around a week now and I've been having more than a blast. I currently reached Cruel Difficulty yesterday after a HARD struggle on the act 3 boss. I'm following a build for Amazon trough Maxroll Because this game is so deep and overwhelming at times I'd want my first experience to be more guided so when I try something else later down the line I understand enough to free-hand a build myself. I've also watched a few youtube videos about tips and tricks but most touch end game content. So let's say I have for now surface level inderstanding of most mechanics in the game, but where I lack is about gear management and ressources consumption. Most orbs I manage to have and I realised Exalted orbs are somewhat rare but also extremely valuable due to the market. Appart from that I would like all the tips you are willing to word out and guide me to understand what I would like to call "fundamentals". - should i invest at all into what I'm wearing pre-mapping. - how do I reach max resistance (what pieces should I buy at the random shop for specific defesinve stats. Like body armor, but should I get belts and gloves etc. What piece tend to carry what stats) - what would you consider "must know tips" for someone not yet at end-game. Thank you for your time and answers!

LS Deadeye - Stuck!

Hi all Looking for some last few weeks of league guidance on what to improve. I'd like to cross the 100k dps bridge and I am sort of lost on what to do next. See poeninja link. Budget of 22D or so.

Unsure about how to proceed...

I moved from ice strike to flicker strike as the first one tends to be very squishy since the main line of defense was evasion and a small pool of HP. So far this new build is making mapping smoother and I feel very tanky thanks to chaos inoculation and a great body armour with over 1.2k energy shield. I covered most of the items needed for the build relatively cheap (around 5 divines in total) but my main struggle is the quarterstaff. The build recommends +melee skills, the higher the better but I barely have a couple of divines and all the options in the market in that price range seem lackluster compared to my weapon in the picture. Is it that big the difference in damage with the extra melee skills considering the basic damage from the weapons in the market are quite lower? I don't want to squander my little savings 😭 to get a staff that it's not going to provide any advance. Thank you for the future answers.

How does the co-op feature work in Path of Exile 2

Co-op Modes

what is the difference between Path of Exile 1 and Path of Exile 2

Damage conversion works in different way. In poe 1 you can have pure physical damage 2h axe, scale it with increase physical damage passive nodes, more physical damage support gems, and than convert all that damage into fire and scale it from increase fire/elemental damage passives. In poe 2 it will only scale from fire/elemental damage passives, and conversion will work only for base physical damage.
