PoE2DB: Path of Exile 2 Reddit Latest Discussion

Build for returning (new) player

Hey all, I started playing Poe again after roughly 10 years. So basically, I just started playing Poe. I went with the first meta build I saw which was vfos and it was cool until now. Feeling like I hit a wall. The gap between t16 and t17 seems pretty big. Don’t really know where to farm for currency, etc. I’m looking for a build that 1) I’m going to enjoy playing and 2) is pretty cookie cutter for me right now, probably with a guide until I can kinda figure things out again. Oh and the big kicker, I’m on console. Everything is 100x more expensive and scarce. Feeling a bit discouraged due to it. Perhaps I hang it up until next poe2 league where I’m able to cross play. Any suggestions on builds I’m happy to check out, doesn’t really matter what. Open to any suggestions. Thanks everyone

Mantra of Destruction should allow use while unarmed

As the title states I believe Mantra of Destruction should be functional without a quarterstaff. I want to use Hand of Chayula with a shield and buff it with Mantra. Since I am not using a quarterstaff though, I can't use what is basically a spell. I don't get it conceptually. Would adding the ability to use it with unarmed really be so strong as to necessitate denying it? Would it be that difficult to add? I would love to hear other's thoughts

Build help

So this is my first ever Arpg. Love it to death. I have my original level 90 ranger, running T15 maps. Mainly running a deadeye (only one ascendancy) Iceshot build with a pretty high damage Gemini bow. Skills are maxed with my quiver Lvl 22 ice shot. Only outputing 24k per shot and recently for some reason can't activate herald of ice despite shattering enemies on a consistent bases. With cold infusion it boost to 33k it does relatively well for clearing. Using gas arrow and flame wall for bossing. When i look at builds on youtube people are outputting like 82k per shot or even 122k. Still learning a lot obviously but is it because I need another ascendency and some breach rings? I've basically copied my skill tree. Idk how to link my build otherwise? Any help would be appreciated https://preview.redd.it/xz4izk4dmraf1.png?width=1809&format=png&auto=webp&s=6b67f1f069a3995cc52e6a20a12d086126d9e28f

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.
