PoE2DB: Path of Exile 2 Reddit Latest Discussion

Fun builds for a relative newbie?

Hey guys. I'm still pretty new to ARPGs/PoE2 and have just finished all the pinnacle content and was looking for recommendations for what to roll next. As I'm still pretty new I'd prefer something that is not too far off meta or obscure, and links to build guides would be very much appreciated. I played Spark Archmage in 0.1, league started 0.2 with ED/C Lich, and then did the classic LS/WSF deadeye build. So I'm leaning towards something melee maybe for some diversity? Given that my deadeye can complete anything I don't mind builds with gaps (crap single target, can't do sims, etc.), but are mostly looking for something fun. Also I have \~200d squirrelled away, so I'm potentially open to some relatively expensive builds (if they're fun enough lol). Two that I've seen around that look potentially fun are flicker strike or leap slam maybe? Any builds/guides/recommendations would be appreciated, thanks guys!

Patch 0.2.1 - Improved Quality of Life Changes. Thoughts?

Patch 0.2.1 has been out for a few days now, and frankly, it feels pretty solid so far. The gameplay actually satisfies me. First off, the passive tree now has a one-click reset button for all passive points. Combined with the new search function (looking for key words like "strength", those relevant nodes will be highlighted), respeccing and tweaking BDs is now literally like a breeze. This function was previously only for controller players, but now keyboard&mouse users like me also get it. Props GGG for eventually hearing us out!! And another significant change is definitely the Unique drops. After grinding for over 10 hours straight recently, I've found way fewer trash Uniques, while the rare ones are more WILLING to drop. Just based on my own experience, it feels every boss or rogue can potentially drop 2 Uniques now (that 3x buff of rogue seems legit). All in all, this patch delivers a solid sense of achievement - definitely worth the wait for polishing the game.

Crashed and now I can’t load my character

Hello Xbox player here I was re doing a trial of chaos to change my ascendency and in the middle of it my game crashed and now I can’t re log into that character as I get stuck on loading screen, I’ve quit and re logged the game but that doesn’t work what do I do?

The Delirium overlay on Waystones (or in general) needs to removed or optional

Honestly not only does it tank performance like no tomorrow, looks ugly and after playing a couple of waystones without it, takes away from the beautiful color palette this game has. Same probably goes for the Delirium Mirror, as on some maps you can finish it before the timer even runs out. And in End-Game juicing, youre losing out so much without Delirium so its not really optional to play without it.

Noobie needs help

Oh boy I always read these posts, never imagined myself to be writing one, I’m a pretty new player to PoE and I’m still learning all the mechanics, it’s a lot and overwhelming, I never crafted anything and to be honest my knowledge of crafting is nonexistent I got few decent drops that I sold for divines but usually never got anything like this before I genuinely don’t know how to price this or even if someone would want it, so I thought you guys might know what to do here , all I did so far is adding the lighting catalyst , boys help me 🙏

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.
