PoE2DB: Path of Exile 2 Reddit Latest Discussion

Something finally worth whittling?

First time I've seen all T1 prefixes for es/ev. I feel like it's finally something worth crafting/whittling, but I figured I'd ask more experienced people first.

Warbringer's Mace Kills Everything II Version

[https://youtu.be/kEYBC82BvJo](https://youtu.be/kEYBC82BvJo) Kills map bosses even faster with just basic mace. Here is an idea that I tested by upgrading the[ one mace kills everything build](https://www.reddit.com/r/PathOfExile2/comments/1lmgegq/warbringer_basic_mace_attack_kills_everything/) with thorns. You can see how it can easily eliminate these map bosses with nothing but a mace attack in the video. This build however is more expensive than the basic version. Even the best maces have lousy criticals compared to Spears like Tangletongue. The damage stacking that is possible on Warrior require some amount of juggling with stats, skills and mana. The solution is to use basic Mace + Thorns. Thorns is automatic and has 25% critical base on BriarPatch, we just need to move it's damage around. But how do you build successful thorns on Warbringer without a spear? As this build demonstrates it can work with some investment, particularly on a Stellar amulet to maintain the ability to use Giant blood and **creatively re-purpose** **Barbs** and **Quill burst** support gems. Warbringer is the most powerful character with Shield, make use of it. Remember every block chance converts to damage in Offensive Stance and Lay Siege. Drop that oversized Titan WWE and Blacksmith barista class now! First some house rules: Spears are for the Amazonian ladies, stick to your maces. Single mace sucks. This is weak, never use them. 2H mace on Warbringer is hard on stats, get the **Hammer of faith** and a **Stellar** amulet for attribs. Wind Dancer + Quill Burst + Ingenuity + Armour Explosion = Treat Wind dancer as your 2nd attack Basic Mace Attack + Barbs + Exploit Weakness = Synergizes with Wind Dancer Block with Svalinn to above 84% Scavenged Plating = free armour + thorns stacking (wearing a low armour 23% death mantle body armour can easily reach 40% in seconds). Those thorn hits break armour too. There is **no need for trampletoe boot nor herald spirit skill.** Hammer of Faith is the most powerful mace in the current league. Even if you have a mace with 1000 flat-phy, choose Hammer of faith instead. The godly powers it randomly grant the user far exceeds any extra damage other maces bring to the table.

[SPOILER] ACT 4 Information and Content - Official Source

**[ACT 4 Spoilers Ahead]** The 420$ Liberator of Wraeclast supporter pack includes a physical Artbook that includes some key information on Act 4, which is theorized to be released with 0.3 based on recent GGG comments about cruel going away "sooner than you think". I've attached pictures of some of the content in the book under the Act 4 chapter and summarized some of its other content. This content is highly likely within Act 4 since its an official product released by GGG and shows the artwork and assets for act 4. ___ ***Act 4 Content:*** ____ **1) Karui Islands + Kingsmarch** **Ngakanu** -Act 4 Tribal "Player Town/Hub" that later becomes corrupted and inhabitants infected by Blood Fever, a Karui-specific infectious disease caused by the use of virtue gems (Ngakanu Artwork: https://imgur.com/i6Ebdyf) **Isle of Shrikes** -Where the current Trial of Chaos "Chicken Boss" is officially from (it is temporarily being used for Trial of Chaos) (Boss in its intended environment: https://imgur.com/3DbJfPA) -Karui tribe members have to prove their adulthood by going to this island and stealing a Shrike Egg **"Parasite" island** -A highly dangerous island overrun by mysterious and dangerous parasites **"Vanishing" island** -An Island where all the Karui tribes that lived there mysteriously vanished on a night of the full moon (Possible werewolves / druid shapeshifters?) **-Kingsmarch** -Unknown how much of PoE1s Kingsmarch is in Act 4, the artbook does not go into detail other than mentioning that Kingsmarch is in Act 4 Artbook: https://imgur.com/UmMfyDk _____ **2) A New ascendancy trial - The Halls of the Dead** A new Ascendancy Trial "The Halls of the Dead / Trials of the Ancestors" that has origins from PoE1's Trials of the Ancestors league (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJNGeWTO5_s) Artbook: https://imgur.com/5eFSvJ6 ___ **3) Hinekora - The Mother of Death** We re getting Hinekora from PoE1 and the Halls of the Dead / Trial of the Ancestors Artbook: https://imgur.com/De2wUKm _____ **4) Rakiata** Seems highly likely we are getting Rakiata and his signature unique weapon from PoE1 (https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Rakiata%27s_Dance) Artbook: https://imgur.com/aoqKxXQ ____ **5) We will fight corruption infecting the islands and corrupted Tribe members inflicted by Blood fever in Act 4** -If a Karui tribe member uses gems, they go mad and develop a highly infectious blood fever that infects any other Karui who come into contact Artbook: https://imgur.com/5AUfsnd Artbook: https://imgur.com/wGYPuqC ____

Can 15-20h playtime a week trivialize a league at the end?

I only get an hour or two of PoE 2 on weeknights and a bit more on weekends, but my goal ultimately is to always trivialize a league. I feel like I'm done when I oneshot every boss, can comfortably map the most juiced things or clear t4 simulacrum. Both times I attempted this I hit a wall when gear upgrades start costing hundreds of divs and I can't progress any further. With my build maybe I can push now to 4-8 divs/h meaning it will take me several weeks to afford 2-3 pieces to improve my gear. Has anyone with a similar playtime actually managed to trivialize a league? Can game knowledge goes as far to compensate for my lack of playtime? I see streamers reaching godhood very quickly in the spam of two weeks so I always assumed that it is feasible if you know what you are doing to do it in somewhat like a months or month an a half before you enter too late in the league economy.

Insane laggspikes

Hey, just wondering if anyone else have insane lagspikes? When Im playing with other people and rarely when Im solo my MS will spike frequently between 30-500 and sometimes when it gets real bad it goes from 30 to1000-3000 and finally sometimes 5000 and 6000 ms which upon reaching 6000 ms I always DC. All my other games I play are completely fine, stable MS. This is rendering it almost unplayable for me. Some hours are a bit better than others but ultimately its the same every day for the past 10 days. I have tried changing servers, that dont help. I am not on a WIFI. Im just trying to figure out if its on my end or POE2 end, but since I have no issues anywhere else I feel like it has to be on POE2, in which I hope this is a known problem and its being worked on or am I alone in this? Any thoughts or insight will be helpful, thanks!

In poe 2 it will only scale from fire/elemental damage passives, and conversion will work only for base physical damage.
