What’s your most Underrated/Unappreciated ascendency?

I feel like there are a handful of ascendencies (amazon, deadeye, bloodmage, SoK/Titan, invoker) that kind of get most of the positive attention rn. looking to branch out and try something I haven’t played before, and interested in hearing if anyone has any particular favorite underrated ascendencies!

Gemling double mjölner is the most fun I've had in this game. (I also kill t4 xesht in about 1,5 seconds).

While everyone I know is busy in the new poe1 league, I've finally gotten a double mjölner build to an insane level of both mapping and pinnacle bossing. Started a couple weeks before patch with a titan mjölner + 2h mace combo, it was great for mapping but very lackluster pinnacle bossing, or even some tougher elites in maps (totems yuck). But then thanks to u/Gl1tch3d (mr sekhemas himself) who mentioned doing his whirling slash build on gemling, I started thinking about running this build on a gemling, put it on the shelf for a bit and played some bleed bloodmage, then I got sent a video of a korean doing what I was just theorizing by deadrabbit and after that we both theorized on the build a bit but I think I'm done cooking for now, it's only lv 90 so there's plenty of space for improvement in passives etc. Yes the build is very expensive to get to this level but it's functional on lower budgets.

Is this a good time for a newcomer?

I'm thinking of purchasing POE2 and running it on GeForce NOW. However I've noticed that player count has severely dropped, Twitch viewership is very low, and Steam reviews are not as triumphant as they were when the game first launched. I remember people's hype was through the roof the first couple of months of game's release, but I've gotten a feeling that the game is underwhelming in some aspects. I haven't ever played a similar game, the closest being Lost Ark. Would you recommend a newcomer to buy the game, or perhaps wait until the free version is out (that's still a thing, right?).

Saddest successfull craft EVER

https://preview.redd.it/nqcstapfgw6f1.png?width=530&format=png&auto=webp&s=28b407d30782ffd0797379af223c206021f0b4aa Context : Ive been quite lucky at every step while crafting this bow, ive spent around 300divs at max for the entire craft, which is very low. The problem ? I figured out my base while being ilvl84 is a TWIN BOW. Why it does matter ? So few patches ago GGG made a change on base items and they have Names, What was originally Expert DualstringBow is now Gemini Bow, so I crafted all this time on a Normal DualstringBow. WHY its a big problem now, it's that for some reasons they made this base type lootable at ilvl84 WHICH IT SHOULDNT. And why it does matter now ? I'm losing a lot , like A LOT of base damage compare to a Gemini bow, and I can't do shit about it, I'm really mad.

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.
