PoE2DB: Path of Exile 2 Reddit Latest Discussion

Unsure about how to proceed...

I moved from ice strike to flicker strike as the first one tends to be very squishy since the main line of defense was evasion and a small pool of HP. So far this new build is making mapping smoother and I feel very tanky thanks to chaos inoculation and a great body armour with over 1.2k energy shield. I covered most of the items needed for the build relatively cheap (around 5 divines in total) but my main struggle is the quarterstaff. The build recommends +melee skills, the higher the better but I barely have a couple of divines and all the options in the market in that price range seem lackluster compared to my weapon in the picture. Is it that big the difference in damage with the extra melee skills considering the basic damage from the weapons in the market are quite lower? I don't want to squander my little savings 😭 to get a staff that it's not going to provide any advance. Thank you for the future answers.

Farewell to My First Main Weapon

After using the same wand on my first character from act 1 all the way to the Ogham Farmlands Cruel, I have finally found a better one. The only major difference is an extra +1 to chaos dmg but at this point that's enough. It dropped naturally too, I didn't craft it. Though lord knows I tried. Anyway, just wanted to Commemorate my trusty old Oblivion Cry Withered Wand. PS: any advice on what to do to it since it has room to grow? Should I just slam it with orbs?

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't that ring actually really good ?

Armour and Evasion hybrid vs just Evasion? Merc Grenadier.

I am working on a homebrew mercenary grenadier. Is there a reason to do armor/evasion over just evasion (or if you want to make an argument for just armour)? Currently leaning into the armour/evasion hybrid to be true to the tree but debating if swapping to pure evasion would be better. I’m lvl 70 and I really don’t die that often but at times I do feel quite squishy which may just be a product of my tree or a merc in general which is unrelated to my question I suppose. Ready to trade for some gear and debating what type to spend my currency on. With the grenades detonate time delay I do feel the armour has its gains while I wait for the nades to pop mixed with the (higher) evasion I have.

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.
