Path of Exile is a MAJESTIC incline

I suppose ppl coming up with act3 stuff don't even work there for many many years now.

The 40/40 achievement stuff (lol) reads like written by middle schoolers.

Starting final playthrough before POE2 in a hour.
Comfy duelist, true melee only, standard, after work so not that many hours, no trading nor using old stash items.
2,250h just on steam. Time to bury the old...

GGG and their shenanigans.

Got baron in act 3. Overall they upped shitload MF because i didn't play in a long time. Like act 5 now and found at least 10 uniues (including baron) and i am mostly speedrunning with ethereal knives and double strike.

That is nerfed Baron. They always kill all the fun out of items unless they are stuff like Mageblood that I have never owned (or Headhunter) even after few thousand hours of playtime. Closest thing was Doctor card that let me buy stuff for my first Shaper killer character when Shaper was still ultimate boss.

done with duelist playtrough.

Around 10 hours, doing all side quests too. Mostly flying on ethereal knives dual wielding claws and glad ascendancy.

Nah, grinding for hours maps is not something i like and i have some work to do before i take vacations on 7th.

Upgrades in POE to reach juiced red maps reliably outside of trading are hard to come by. With current build i could do mid tier maps at best as i had some luck with gear and have like 3,5k life , 75% block, 78% all res outsdie of chaos and glad blood splosions to pop those packs, also 20% elusive on hit. Ele damage is still a problem since they removed glad spell block and suppression isn't easily available on my part of tree.

I am glad though that poe 2 is removing life nodes from the tree. They tried to mitigate that with life per level improvements few years back but it always sucked because tree nodes are waaaay to important.

edit:

Decided to run again new playtrough with bow ranger this time and try that kalgur village stuff. So far seems fun.

The problem with skipping maps is two fold. Campaign is super easy on purpose so you are never forced to have a real build. I usually finish campaigns with whatever, 4l, 3l , whatever skill I feel like using. Maps is only place in the game where you have to think about your character and your build and get pieces for it.
Just playing campaign is pointless.

This is why I wanted PoE2 campaign to actually be hard and force you to take it seriously.

So you are saying you find campaign hard and cannot finish it?
