I thought Cadiro was removed because it made the poe.trade people upset that people were able to get good items on their own.
No. The "PoE2 will fix everything" is a meme, which neither me nor GGG believes in. Recent curtailing of the power creep is evidence of that.
This is done for a different reason. In the past the community would abuse low level campaign zones to farm specific league rewards. The same community also complained about this practice because they felt "forced" to partake in this degenerate behaviour. Now we have the most difficult content grant access to the most rewards (with the exception of Heist).
You are retarded. GGG has been talking about cutting content for a while now and has only recently started doing so. Next cut is already announced. Play the god damn game sometimes instead of just posting.
I believe this is the actual reason behind all the whining. A more varied and open campaign won't fix that. We will see after PoE2. I bet the whining is never going to stop.
Don't they usually launch mid december? Pretty big delay in total.
I thought you played Standard?
in between leagues, and when league sux
Why not just keep playing Heist in the league? Leveling rogues is much faster now and a +1 job level is like 250 alts on average. If you play Heist in the league, you get obscenely rich.
If the cost is alts(alteration orbs), augs (augmentation), or transmutes, go wild. If it's alcs or chaos don't, fusings and chroms only if it's cheap and you really need it. In general you should not craft by using currency, use the crafting bench. The +life/+resist crafts are really good to round out your defences. Exceptions include: flasks to make sure you have bleed/freeze/etc immunity, making your gear have the gem slots/links you need (making 1hand weapons 3linked and regular gear 4linked requires <10 of jewellers and fusings most of the time, so that's a fire and forget craft. 5 or more (linked) sockets) is expensive). Crafting rare items from scratch is a super lategame activity.
Make sure your elemental resists are capped, and that you have a decent +life mod on most/all pieces of gear. Most other mods don't matter. On weapons, slot it in and check the tooltip dps, it should be accurate for frost blades, watch out for elemental damage mods though, as that will get resisted by a lot of tough enemies and make your tooltip dps seem better than it is. For gem slots, as long as you can slot a 4link somewhere for your main damage skill, and have enough linked slots for the support skills you want to use, you're fine.
If you're having fun, don't worry about it. Especially if you're going slow because you are learning/experimenting/researching.
If you're going to consume guides, I highly recommend staying away from that channel and instead watching guides from reputable streamers like Zizaran, ds_lily, Alkaizer, Mathil. There are more good build guide makers out there, but these four have stood the test of time and between them, you should be able to find at least one build that you'll find interesting. As much as I like Frost Blades, it's called a noob trap for a reason. Unfortunately, the YouTube space for PoE build guides has been overrun with grifters for reasons I won't get into here.
Unless it is something you inherently find fun, I wouldn't worry about crafting too much until you're in maps. The bench recipes are a good way to shore up resists or attributes on an already decent item (correct socket-colour-link combo + life + at least 1 resist) and are a no-brainer. Your best bet for crafting early on are Essences and Orb of Bindings. Look for the appropriate socket-colour-link combo on a gear slot you wish to improve and slap an essence on use an Orb of Binding on the highest item lvl base available to you, which corresponds to your preferred defence type.
Once you have the best available base item you can possibly obtain and you can no longer progress any further without improving your gear. My advice is to try and improve one gear slot at a time, until you have capped resists, all the links you need and as much life as you can get. Once you start finding influenced bases, the real fun begins. But you're a long time away from that. If you're set on playing an attack based character as your starter, I would always try to craft the best weapon possible every 5-10 levels. You can look up the appropriate bases and the levels they start dropping at, or you can just download a lootfilter and set your "weapon progression" as your preferred class and it will highlight the best bases in the appropriate zones for you.
I wouldn't worry about your progression times as long as you're having a good time playing. General advice is to stay withing 4 levels of the highest zone you're progressing through.
I'm totaly unaware of that scene, just picked the first google result, and that's because I liked the cold/frost theme.
Interesting, I thought a non-caster would be more noob-friendly.
I guess I'd go for a base sword or rapier, raise its quality as much as possible, then make it a magic item, add life/resistance modifiers, then progress it to rare?
At the front page you have the button "Presets" which will allow you to set the item progression during leveling to highlight Claws and Swords for example. You can also customize the progression in the leveling section of your lootfilter by selecting up to 3 different weapon types.
You want only dps mods on your weapons, if you're playing an attack based build. Your best bet is to use an Essence that adds flat damage to a weapon and pray that you get at least 2 other damage mods on it in the process.
In general, anything that is "simple" to play is going to be much weaker than builds which utilize multiple ways of scaling their damage. At some point you'll just hit a wall and won't be able to progress any further, until you obtain a very good weapon. I think the only somewhat decent "melee" attack skill is Lancing Steel at the moment. There is also Toxic Rain, but that requires bows (but was played on Champions this league a lot in the beginning).
Yeah, that's how they get you. Unfortunately a bunch of YouTube grifters decided to make some easy money with guide content for PoE, because that is what gets a lot of views and because new players can't tell good from bad.
Yep, I read that and came up with the plan of finding a good Normal with the slots and links and then building it up to a Rare.
I don't remember this ever being true. Quality affects your chance of linking the item when spamming Orb of Fusing on it though.
