Contagion - What's the calculation being done here?

Hey all Game tells me 1.7m + 50% = 2m. I don't get it. Help. \- Contagion spread = 1.7m \- Support Gem = +50% AOE What do i need to know about how this game calculates these problems so that I can better understand the derived values? Thank you.

To the new players just reaching maps:

Speed is your friend in solo maps! Don't spend too much time trying to juice your maps and towers. Just throw any tablet that has rarity or quantity of items found. Don't stop for unidentified rares that aren't t3-t5. Quality items aren't really worth salvaging as the quality currency is a very volatile market. Always put delirium on your maps, even if it's only 1 distilled ire. I find that pushing for citadels is one of the best ways to make currency solo. You'll find a lot of unique maps along the way, and some of those can give you (if you're lucky) multiple divines worth of drops. But most importantly, try to join groups. I believe the rarity and quantity bonus from groups is multiplicative. You'll get far more currency than playing solo. Try to join at the very least short allocation, but permanent is ideal if you're a bit slow or laggy.

Simulacrums… what’s the point?

Like I get it. Farm a bunch of these. Go into the realm gate. Kill shit… But why do they give you multiple attempts if you die? The way the mechanic is set up is completely pointless to have additional lives. If you have died during a simulacrum there was probably only one reason for that; being swarmed. If you respawn into the swarm the exact same thing is going to happen. There is no worse feeling than getting bent over and over and over until the event is over. Make it a trial then. One life and done. Would much rather die and go back to base than to die instantly 7+ times before it ends. This event is literally rage bait for anyone who doesn’t one shot it. Really hope GGG fixes the mechanics for this event. When you respawn it should at least be like when you re-enter an altar.

Is the movement speed to slow?

I don't know about you guys, but I just feel so slow. I have 14% increased movespeed in my tree, 35% movespeed boots, and 10% total extra movespeed slotted into my two boot sockets. I still just feel slow even with all of this. I don't know if I'm just used to going fast, but it feels such a bore to complete useless maps when I can't just go fast through it. It's like I gotta take the time to admire the scenery or something. Anyone else just feel the movespeed in this game is just way to slow?

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.
