Polcirkeln+Companion Beast
Haven't tested but I wonder if this combo would work, with a beast tha Periodically unleashes Ice, would that count?

Whispering Ice
So I got a decent Whipering Ice to drop last night. Was building around using a Witch, (only because it was the only character high enough to use the staff and I didn’t mind respecc’n the toon). Icestorm is super slow cast. Even when I took every cast/skill speed nodes and gear swap to better fit. With over 200 INT I noticed Heart of Ice sits at 14k dmg with how I had it specd. With it chilling that hard, would rolling an Invoker Monk, adding Crown of Eyes, and doing a Shattering Palm build seem viable? Or should I keep it on my Lich and do a Cold Lich, with Curses and Just Frost Nova/Shatter mobs? Any ideas would be helpful.

Server issues since update
Ever since the update yesterday I have been getting regular full disconnects. Different than the stuttering/freezing mitigated by clearing the chat window and emptying the txt file. These disconnects tend to happen between every 2-3 maps, but are not isolated to that pretense. I have disconnected while entering a map(consuming the waystone as well as the buffs for the atlas slot), and even less commonly while running a map. Curious if I am alone here. Anyone have any potential fixes/work arounds? PC: 9800x3d, 3090ti, 64gb ram, all nvme storage, and ethernet connected

Is anyone else getting constant disconnects and rollbacks since the patch?
Last night after the patch I was constantly getting disconnected and rolled back, losing everything in my inventory, and losing the map I was running. I’m not sure how many maps I lost this way or how much currency. I thought surely it would be better today. I tried to play and just lost two maps/had two disconnects and rollbacks back to back. So I’m putting the game down until they get this worked out. Are many other people still having this issue?

I tested some of the new uniques (Guiding Palms, frog quiver, Adonia's Ego). Here's the conclusions.
* Guiding Palms: Very cool visually, and interesting thanks to the Gain as Extra. Unfortunately, there's absolutely no way to scale the damage. It doesn't count as coming "from you", which means all scaling vectors are off the table. No poison, no conversion, no gained as extra, etc. The only thing I can see scaling the damage is lowering resistances and sources of "increased damage taken" on enemies. Whether there's an autobomber there, I'm not sure. I need to figure out whether the shrine effect scales with area level (I suspect it does) which may keep it relevant later. If anyone is crazy enough to try a Doryani's Prototype autobomber, let me know. Thinking a bit more creatively, the fact that the damage doesn't come from us at all might mean that we can cause elemental ailments even in cases where we're forbidden to do so, if that becomes relevant in the future (i.e. an unique that says "you can't shock"). * Murkshaft (frog quiver) is fantastic. The frogs are the ultimate form of deathsplosion, because they actually home on the next enemy. With enough poison damage and monster density, it's an endlessly chaining cascade of frogs. This quiver is BiS for poison clear with a bow, and honestly a joy to use. Maybe most interestingly, nothing about the toad actually *requires* poisoning, it's just a trigger on kill that creates a homing, exploding toad. This may find the ability a home in non-poison builds if you need clear and are willing to sacrifice useful quiver affixes. * Adonia's Ego: People were theorycrafting using this on the swap, but unfortunately it just doesn't work that way. The buff is only active while you hold the wand, so you've got to commit. It's a bit of a bummer and I think really hurts the viability of the wand, to the point it will likely only find a place in a janky invoker build with Unbound Avatar. However, that janky invoker build with Unbound Avatar looks straight up my alley, so I might try to cook it. Landing every ailment at 100% efficiency constantly may be a great way to get consistent uptime on Unbound Avatar.

Ritual/Omen changes (0.2.1)
Rare omen were supposed to be 6 times more likely to see. I did about a dozen maps last night with 4 rerolls each (using unique tablet) so that's 48 ritual windows and I saw 0 rare omens. Anybody have any luck and I'm just unlucky so far? Feels like a case of 6x0=0 to me

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.
