@@florianchoquet8679 He eventually will understand hopefully. So much potential, he's made for this. Entertaining as fuck yet very informative and helps beginners to understand the game. A huge win for the PoE community in my opinion
This video is brilliant, your approach to delivering a literal fucktonne of information (appreciated as a new poe2 player) without keeping it droning on and boring for an hour long is amazing. This sort of info is hard to digest especially over an hour, but somehow you managed to do it. will definately be bookmarking this for reference as i try to deepdive into build making and theorycrafting as poe2 unfolds. thanks from australia mate! good shit
You are literally the funniest yet most informative guy out there creating PoE2 content. I subscribed to you a few days ago and your videos are great. So entertaining, but I still learn a lot from you. Your humor is 100% my taste You deserve way more subs but I bet that your channel will get very very big if you just keep doing what you're doing. You're obviously made for this, entertaining + informative at the same time is very valuable and I - as a beginner - really appreciate it I wish you could be my personal coach in PoE hahahaha I literally binge watched your videos the moment I discovered your channel. Keep it up and you'll be rewarded, I am 100% sure about that and all the other comments just proof my point
Coming from a new player to POE, just wanna say i fucking love your videos and your vibe, hope u have a great year and look forward to your upcoming videos!
Amazing content dude. Found you when I was looking for a mapping guide, every video since has been a banger. So rare to find someone making guides that speaks with genuine enthusiasm.
First minute in: "Sucks so much ass it can pull my brain through my butthole" LOL GOD DAMN TAKE MY SUB. Thanks for the awesome and detailed guide, I'll have to review this a few times.
That "Fuck blood witch" felt so personal and I'm here for it. I've decided, theres no reason to watch any other cont creat about poe2. not only are your videos super intelligent, well crafted and in depth, but you have such a way with words. and those words align into sentences that I've never heard in that order before and it scratches that itch and puts some wrinkles in my brain
Regarding the damage math, the formula is (base+base)x(increased+increased)x(more+more) + any other modifiers (like gain) This is why more is better, because it multiplies the end result of base x increased dmg
nice video, gave me a couple new insights and a LOT of words for things i already understood instinctively but not explicitly. also, tweaking your passives and skill gems and so on 50 fucking times per character isn't the cost of doing business! that's part of the fun!
Hell yeah definitely wanna try out that witchhuntet build after my monk gets boring LMAO, I have a buddy who's at negative xp on witchunter he needs this asap💀
Banger vid as always. Here's one very slight correction for any newer players still confused about More vs Increased: For the first source of "Increased" anything, the improvement is identical to "More." So if I have 0 mana regen anywhere on my character, a single node granting 20% Increased mana regen is actually just as useful as 20% more mana regen. But after that point, any additional source of More mana regen will always be better than additional Increased mana regen. The way this is usually phrased is, as you said, that Increased is additive while More is multiplicative. But an easier way to think about it is, More is honest and simple, while Increased is misleading and almost always weaker than it sounds. For example X% More life will always improve your total life by exactly X%. But X% Increased life improves your total life by some amount less than X%. The more "X% Increased life" you have on your character, the less each subsequent source of "% Increased life" benefits you. Here's the math for anyone interested: I have 300% increased spell damage. That means my damage is 400% of base (100%, aka my base damage + 300% "increased") Now let's add "50% Increased" spell damage. 50% + 400% = 450% 450 is only 12.5% bigger than 400, so at my current gear level 50% Increased spell damage is the same as 12.5% More spell damage. As I gain additional sources of Increased spell damage, that 50% Increased will be worth less and less. If I have 900% increased spell damage (aka 1,000% of base), 50% increased is only worth 5% More spell damage, because 50 is 5% of 1,000.
Thank you for this comment. I'm new to PoE with PoE 2 so I've just always heard people say it's additive vs multiplicative. This is huge to know. Appreciate the knowledge.
Sanguimancy sucked so much that I refunded the node and didn't take it again until I got 4 ascendancy points and blasphemy + despair + hexblast. Blood mage is a complete scam given how it forces you to start stacking max life and life regen in addition to damage early on.
Also remembering the fact that if you got an additional 30 spirit from equipment somehow you would be able to put on grim harvest to double your energy shield effectively in clearing.
As far as defense vs offense early on goes, I think that's flipped for casters a bit. Flame Wall empowers all sorts of early things, so easy damage early, while faster start of ES makes a huge difference in ease of boss fights. This is especially true for newer players or ones without FPS/fighting game reflexes. They will get hit by the bosses. Surviving that hit and bouncing back from it quickly? That makes act 1 super easy. And long term, you're going to want it as well. Meanwhile, the better offensive nodes tend to be quite a bit further down the tree, while there's some nice defense early on. As far as resists go, there's another reason to overcap, and that's maps. The -15% resists thing shows up often enough. If you are overcapped by 15, that becomes a non-factor. For weapons for casters, it's luck of the draw. But while leveling, I find it easier to get good luck with staves. The reason for that is simple enough: you need one good drop for a staff, but two good drops for wand + off-hand. And when you have a staff with cast speed, spell levels, spell damage, your type of damage, mana regen... that's a weapon you're going to be using for 30+ levels likely. I do think that wand+offhand is overall superior, but while leveling, it likely isn't worth the hassle of seeking out two good items over the one chance gave you. Well, unless you drop a couple of exalts to trade stuff off someone, anyway.
More vs Increase: if you have 50% phys, and get 10% more you go to 60%, 10% increase is 50% x 1.1 = 55% Cast speed is easier to see, 10% cast speed with 10% increase is 11% cast speed, 10% cast speed with 10% more is 20%
Sorry I am a new player, I had a bit trouble understanding the offense can be best defense and you can hurt yourself going too defensive, followed by prioritizing max resistance, which so far has led to me reducing damage in instances
As far as I'm concerned. The only skills on the witch hunter ascension is zealous inquisition. The barrier thing would be cool if it didn't murder my armor and evasion.
Until they start banning all hackers and speculators. Placing items on auctions should have a higher cost, this would also help with bots flipping prices. It's a new year, maybe after returning to work I'll fix something in this game
15:16 yea I first rolled a witch hunter after getting my second ascendancy I rerolled. I was using explosive shot so the culling strike path didn’t really help as I was killing everything already. The concentration path was only good for bosses and I hadn’t reached maps yet and had no problems with the campaign. I didn’t wanna use grenades so weapon points or corpse explosions weren’t really my thing. I tried sorcery ward and it doesn’t block most of the spells you see anything that’s not specifically a fire/lightning/ice ball and it regenerates fairly slow. The entire class is only good for rapid fire stuff with culling strike MAYBE
I just can't wait for more melee stuff to come out. Maces feel so slow and boring. I want daggers and shit. There are already so many cool builds, i can't wait for what people come up with.
I wish the game was balanced around ssf with many things account bound so meta wouldnt ruin the game and economy. Imbalance would be more fine too if no trade eco but items were semi obtainable.
45:33 i dropped a midnight braid on day 1 and a friend told me it was giga valuable and op with mind over matter... So i pathed to MoM and used midnight... Did PISS ALL DAMAGE 😅 my duo was pissed he played warrior and did damage but couldnt live more than a single boss hit
Okay yeah darkness on AoC might seem terrible, but did you know that if darkness absorbs the damage then you dont lose honor in trial of sek - including when trying to get temporalis? Just gotta raise a character to endgame to abuse an interaction that will get nerfed, to get an item that will get nerfed!
one problem I have is igaf about power per point when it comes to ascendancy. demon form sucks ass? dont care looks cool. bloodmage is literally unplayable? okay actually maybe ill wait until they buff it...
i dunno, sure seems like you should have 0 es if you have a node that says "converts all energy shield." 1 hr video glazing a broken interaction. ps a birdie told me attack speed impacts reload
The conversion only happens once and takes place prior to the everlasting gaze effect, it's absolutely intended. The alternative would result in a massive multiplicative increase in his mana, which also scales his damage multiplicatively and would actually be broken.
who's this video for? It doesn't seem to be aimed at new players, that's for sure. It's poorly structured and you speak far too fast. It's unfocused. The way you talk is meme worthy. The first ten minutes are enough to turn away any new player.
