PoE2DB: Path of Exile 2 Reddit Latest Discussion

What are your build plans for future unreleased classes and skills?

With the differences to some spells/traits in poe2 are there any ascendancy or skill combos you're looking forward to being released from poe1? I'm hopeful for Inquisitor+Energy Blade with the changes to Arc getting a bonus blast on shocked targets. If those two are similar to poe1 that could make for an easy layup. Put unleash on Arc, use the nice dps of poe2's basic attack with the boosted energy blade damage and let Inquisitors battlemage perk do the rest of the work. Edit: forgot to mention that the big win for energy blade is no more slots on gear, so you wouldnt be missing out on a 6L for using it in poe2

Now I went back and completely lost with my build coz the old one which I was sticking to is lost. Could somebody please highlight some good and easy to follow Lich builds for fellow noob?

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.
