10:25 Oh no... KaidGames2. All people who play Black Desert know this guy all too well. Well actually it's not a real person. It's AI generated shit content that regularly reaches the recommendations of newer players and contains 0% useful information.
KaidGames (and KaidGames2) is a known game tourist and clickbait farmer. He makes garbage tier lists and build guides for years. I know him from Black Desert where he would reupload "best class tierlist" videos with the same "content" every now and then. The whole video would be footage from the games website's class introduction pages in random orders just sometimes reworking his voiceover.
@@colby8104 I’ve made it to 90 and I really don’t get the hype. There is literally nothing I can say Poe 2 does better than d4 and that’s bad because d4 is a snooze fest as well 😂
Tree looks like when you're in pob and you misclick a node and the tree just paths there, and he did that a few times and was like "yep that's the tree for the build" and it's literally worse than if he had just put in nodes blind folded.
last league or this league i was watching Alkaizer and he was wasting one skill point just for nothing with wrong pathing i saw with like 10s watching his tree
As a new player, the first time I traded for a better weapon i felt like my power quadripled. Trading for gear the first time was the single greatest power boost i got in the game.
yeah, had some trouble with some bosses in act two and I kept seeing people saying "skill issue" little did I know I could use a few of the exalted orbs I had gathered to buy better gear and have absolutely no issue whatsoever.
Ya it's playing the youtube algo game. UA-cam favors casual channels that have broad stroke reach for advertising reasons. They also want braindead people again for advertising reasons.
The hardest part about trying to follow guides right now is there's very little explanation throughout the leveling process. It just shows a final trree and gem setup with like supports that make sense when everything is put together. Many times there are better supports to use during leveling, like before you take a keystone or some notables on the tree. I'm left struggling to figure out how to make it feel good while leveling and often quit on it and try something else.
then you should look up a campaign levelling up guide instead of a build guide that's already put together. Zizaran's videos are very new player friendly.
You need to look for the right style of guide and it does take some searching. There are many guides that exist that explain what they used while leveling as an example. They have no way to cater the build for your exact experience. It's literally impossible.
Honestly mate, i agree with you in poe1. 9 fucking pages of gems. Now POE2 Is substantially easier and i've played poe since legacy league. Look at thw low budget or early mapping tree, look for the most valuable notables then start pathing to them. And for gems once you click the support it shows you recommendations per tier. Its just so convenient
I used to watch RageGaming' but every video was "NEW BEST TOP 5 BREAKING GODLY HEAVENLY BUILD THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING PLAY BEFORE FIX"...every single video, every single day. I'm okay with clickbait if you deliver something useful, best thing is if you have a build planner I can check from time to time
Rage is 3 creators with different styles so it's 1 channel 3 different creators . Elon propped them up as his record run was based on their info and many fastest clears used rage builds , they exploded because their builds worked for casuals amazingly in D4 Thanks to them act 1 stopped being a hard fight as a warrior for me personally.
Ragegaming have surface level knowledge but they try to use it for "deep" level conclusions and sweeping clickbaity statements which will usually work for casuals because it takes some time to realize they got misinformed so most will never do it.
RageGaming makes click bate videos for dozens of major games (Monster Hunter, Soulsborn, aRPGs, Cyberpunk, Witcher etc). Games with fixed loot tables they post top meta builds usually a day or so after some known creator shows their broken build.
The gear not being important really got me :D Try fighting the crazy flameflower lady in act2 with -10 fire res and with +40 fire res and tell me there is no difference Or upgrading your weapon that literally 2-3x your damage But sure getting +1level on your gem surely does the same :D
I did her last night (Lol) with my mercenary and no fire resist, but it's not my first character or new to poe games. That's the power of ranged builds thought. Resist is super important, i just happened to have none at the time.
I kept getting oneshot by flamethrower lady's melee flailing until I got boots with a lot more movement speed. You don't have to stress perfect dodge rolling 4x when you can just be nowhere near her.
Your resist doesn't matter if she doesn't hit you and she is not hard to avoid. Doing more damage is always good, because you have less room to screw up, if the boss dies fast, but yes getting +1 level on your gem surely does the same in some cases, because in some builds, upgrading the gem level is the highest DPS increase you can get.
I'm seeing alot of hate for Ragegaming in the comments here which is unfortunate. Yes they put out a lot of slop clickbait stuff but that is just the keep the algorithm happy pay the bills stuff. Their videos outside of that are a lot of fun. Fextralife adds nothing of worth. Ragegaming has given me tons of entertainment from monster hunter videos to weirdly enough rollercoaster themepark videos. I mostly just feel bad because it is pretty much delegated to Hollow to make all the slop videos because he has some interesting takes on games outside of those.
@@maddmind3756rage gaming is cringe and click baiting for so long will eventually net them a loss quickly. Open World Games is another one who just reads patch notes and has the dumbest titles I’ve ever seen.
@@maddmind3756 poe comments/reddit are VERY bandwagon-y since poe 2 release. ragegaming isnt even as bad as poebuilds. fextra is an entirely different level.
@@maddmind3756 If you make monster hunter and rollercoaster tycoon slop and then rush out some trash PoE2 videos because the game's trending then you deserve some criticism from the community. It's not just that they're stealing views from people like Ghazzy and Lily but they could potentially harm the chances of new people getting into the game who could become future viewers of the people who make good content and have dedicated years of 80 hour weeks to the game.
I saw her vid last night, and gave her a follow because I was thinking the same thing she pointed out. Then saw a vid where she pointed out something on trade that made the exp 10x better. She's spot on from what I can see.
Saw a build last night where the person said that a unique was absolutely necessary for the build to work and then the person noted that they had a bunch up for trade on the trade site. Immediate no
Wat? If it's a common build, and the unique is necessary, maybe they were doing his damn community a favor and listing the unique at a lower cost? Jesus Christ on high.
@@GeraldHarnack-x4tYeah if you think this guy is just going to buy out the entire market of absolutely required uniques then relist them at a reasonable price after making a "GIGA ONESHOT 300K DPS 500 MOVEMENT SPEED oh and btw I have a tonne of these completely required uniques for sale so you should totally try this build" and think he is doing you a service you might deserve to get scammed
@@GeraldHarnack-x4t the problem is the item is common and he's generating interest in the item by making a " build" based around the common item and selling it for much more than it's worth.
Dig the honesty out of you . Realized you were pretty genuine with your content when i checked your frost mage and it was almost identical to mine & helm stackers besides like 1 jewel lol. He gets no recognition but you mention him in the video, I just look for folks who clear the hardest content with their characters, not for thumbnails. I do not have the knowledge for making skill trees, so I play fub, goratha, and ben’s characters , that is all haha.
RageGaming used to be somewhat decent but he embraced the era of clickbait like it was the best drug ever I imagine at this point his Sub count is mostly people who just couldn't be bothered to unsub as you average roughly equal numbers of views despite a tenth the subs.
As someone who is More MMO based, and has played seasonally in D3 and some D4 and trying the Path of Exiles side for the first time its easy to be misled. POE the original was daunting because there were so many systems that i had no clue about that I didn't want to dive in with other options available. POE2 seemed like the perfect opportunity and it has been a blast. I've definitely had my struggles and have been watching a bunch of vids.... many from these channels that just got blasted. As someone new its a struggle to always feel behind the ball. appreciate your help on the minions side of things as I have been enjoying it a lot. Will have to find the other class people too. I actually thought i had found a bunch of good minion advice, but then heard so many conflicting ideas, take some time to learn so once again appreciate your efforts and content!
Videos build guides are usually not very good in poe. Maxroll is probably the best for being really detailed most of the time. Mobalytics and once icy veins has their poe2 site up are good to. Written guides with planners are your best friend when it comes to poe
when me and my buddy started playing D4 I remember telling him that ragegaming content was inaccurate or just straight lies, (I was already following reliable content creators and the info in their vids didn't match) and by the time, they deleted a comment of mine that was pointing out their miss information. I feel so validated now, thank you
We have an lesser issue with some content makers that make builds that they plan on spending crap tons of divines on, and will be extremely sub par without that investment level. Then we also have some that change the version number on their build guides without actually doing any updates to the build, modernizing it with the latest tech, or even attempting to compensate for various nerfs.
Get him to agree to a sub goal by grouping with chat and pushing for it. Just like anything in life if it's reasonable you just need group peer pressure and money as incentive.
Thanks to your crafting guide and Craft of Exiles I became one of the crafters of my guild and had great understanding of affixes blocking manipulation in POE 1. Keep rocking!
Can't see dislikes without a plugin and negative comments already have to fight auto moderation from youtube before the channel owner even sees it. That and bots makes it easy to pump numbers.
I try to make a build for me that is a little more creative, but im not sure how this unarmed attacks exactly work. I saw that the charakter changes for quarterstaff when i use "killing palm" but do exist stats on my Quarterstaff i can use even when i attack ith my bare fist? Like "increased elemental damage with attacks" or "+ level for melee skills" or du ineed stats thatnot effect my skills like attributes.
Omfg is this why people are pricing shit and then when you whisper they take it down and put it up again for 1 div more? I spent an entire night trying to get a decent HoWA for 5-6 divs and literally..... 40-50 messages I got 0 responses/invites and about 20 of them took the item down and posted it up again. I called each of them a scumbag and put them on my ignore list. But now I know who to really blame. Fuck me.
It has to be. I remember trying to buy items (before when divines were still 1 exalt) that were listed as 1ex - 3ex. I had live search on and would whisper for the trade, then everyone would immediately delist the item and bring the price up to 10ex+
it depends ^^ the biggest issue is that decimal numbers are not shown on trade. so you might list an item for 5,5div, it only shows 5div and you get showered with requests so you put it out and reprice it to 6. ofc there are always items where you dont notice you have a good roll since checking rolls on uniques is not supported yet and some obvious pricefixers ontop and you can run into that problem fairly often
@@keonjthat's more like they set a whole tab with a fix 1 ex price then the api crawled as it is but they priced it correctly. you know the updates are delayed sometimes :) but the other can be true as well
So glad you brought this up. Being a noob, I was interested in one of those that was mentioned, and I appreciate you bringing out the honesty of true content creators vs the clickbait creators. I will be watching out for those three at least. Please, in the future, if you're able to call any others out. PoE 1 or 2 needs to remain clean of that kind of trash. Thumb Up to you and other honest content creators.
7:15 is it rly that buffaling ? ever heared of bought subscriptions, thats not a new concept. If the content is rly as bad as described and the like/view ratio is shit as well then you can definetly point to bought subs.
I've been giving out warnings for Kaidgames for years now. His "build guides" for New World was hilarious, he dropped guides that was made with stolen twitch/youtube footage and where the guide itself was made for a previous patch. He could say "Use X spell" but X spell was removed 2 patches ago, but he dropped the guide today. Crazy stuff.
I am a returning POE player that quit because the game mechanics got so bloated and complicated, POE felt like a second job. I also played Diablo 4 and was frustrated that all of my friends were falling victim to this, and REFUSED to listen to me the resident expert, because the channels had millions of followers and videos had that many views. I get on POE2 a few days late, and what do I do? I look for exactly what type of build I am looking for, and I go and search the Tube until I find a dude thats running a stupid insane subathon whre he is grinding the game and the class for 28 to 29 hours at a time lmao. Not the dudes with flashy videos and cool edits and edgy or exciting titles. That way I know that when I get myself to end game, and then decide I want to play around a bit, at least I know I was GUIDED in the correct way. W to you brother for what you offer the community. I may be new here, but it was clear from the first click I picked a dude that knew summoners.
you cant play melee in maps the same way ypu can spark or a bow build. Sure you could make a viable melee build but its not nearly as fast,smooth,or as cheap
Literally 100% false. Multiple instant nuke melee builds. Hammer is amazing and highly used. Their is a build using it to clear maps as well... One tap explosion warrior exists. Kiterally walk through the game... Resonating sheild build is crashing maps. . . Just because you can't doesn't mean itndoesnt wxist... stop it
T10 maps 62 hours with my Warbringer, get gud scrub 😂😂😂 I have a shield and 2h mace and 2 2h +6 melee skills maces , I just need better rolls and I'm good to go .
I actually like the Galvanic shard Merc as a class and build itself, running around and shotgunning shit n stuff. I also found that Resolute Technique guide and built my merc following that guide up until lvl 22 when I was like: "Wtf....pumping passive points into sooooo many Dex nodes feels like a waste." Scrapped that merc and started another one :D
Dslily is awful and rage gaming is fine. So much jealousy. Sad. I get that it’s a tough way to make a living and lots of competition due to a very low barrier to entry but damn.
Shes right though, Ive watched these clickbait bs as well. Im 15k hours deep into PoE1 and part of a very small percentage of the playerbase who actually crams anything endgame. Lily is completely correct, its not jealousy. Clickbaiters for the masses. I even had a rl friend who played and said he followed the rage guy and I just laughed and then had to fix his build. If you believe his stuff, I dont even know what to tell you brother, youll have a shitty experience.
I've been looking for some inspiration to try something new and this is what I have noticed as well, I cant search for builds without being buried in 47 BEST EVER builds and then I click on the video I see their 2200 hp and I'm like, there's no way. . .
A part of the problem is that a lot of the "bad" producers have way better editing, way clearer audio, etc. They just flat out put out better content in every way *except* for accurate information lol but it's way easier to follow what they're saying, hear them clearly, etc. The more niche people who put the work into getting the gameplay info right often have shit mics, shit quality, have overlays that take up 90% of the screen so you can't see wtf is happening, etc. This is very common in the Warframe community. The videos from the people who know things the best are *such shit quality* and the videos that are clear, concise, and to the point but contain terrible, god awful builds get the most views because... they're actually watchable.
Not just in gaming. Also goes for advertising or politics in the real world. It's really easy to manipulate people into believing they're given accurate information, because they assume if it's well produced, there must be something to what they're saying.
That reminds me of science communication. On one sides you have experts sharing exhaustive and precise informations, but only people with a real interest in the field would listen to them. On the other sides, you have "journalists" who barely understand anything but are mostly interested in attracting the widest audience possible, simplifying outrageously what they've already barely understood for the sake of clickbaiting. And that's how you end up with absurdities like the "God's particle", that is then taken literally by a part of the audience.
Rage has been doing videos for years they earned their spot just bc none of you ppl know them dosent mean anything. she called a great channel baiters then gave 0 evidence of said bait they are not d4 mains etc. they started in monster hunter years ago then naturally branched out. Already unsubbed from lilly ur next on the block hate that i supported you and her so much during subbathon. Rage does not deserve this hate from poe cc. If the poe cc made better content just like the orb of chance target video rage made they wouldnt need to fill the gap. So how bout you and lilly make better guides and videos instead of throwing shade at other this is a L take.
As a nerd with 15.000 hours in PoE, I can tell you that youre wrong. I gain nothing from saying it, doesnt benefit me in any way since I dont do content. Hes clueless, its clickbait. End of story. Follow and use it if you want, but youll have a harder time. Oh and I dont follow Lily either, but shes right nonetheless.
Nice for you guys to point this out. I was searching on youtube for build inspiration looked at a few videos and was like: what the .... i can do this better?!
Sad the so called "OG's" of the game, that have guides where you need to have several Divine orbs for gear and only very little amount of players will be able to accomplish because they cant spend the massive amount of hours as they do to get this. These gatekeepers trashing on content creators that provide a more accessible option is really sad. Either way, its iust a f'ing game and policing this is beyond crazy
The exact same thing happened with Elden Ring. Fromsoft games where popular already, but still somewhat niche-y. Elden Ring blew up and so many content creators who never talked about these games in the first place where coming up with "Best pvp build, one shot everyone!!". When a game goes from somewhat popular to very fucking popular overnight with a new release this is bound to happen.
Their response video was terrible, he literally said, "Okay, it's not the most optimal, im providing my budget option" and yet the video is titled, BEST MOST OP BUILD. You can't reconcile those two ideas simultaneously, it is a lie.
14:11 "grenade merc jesus christ not even close" I'm currently really enjoying my grenade merc in act 3 norm. I am the type of person, though, who doesn't want to "waste" my time playing a build that won't perform well at the highest level. Can anyone tell me how grenades fall off, and what merc builds are at least good enough to not be laughed out of the room?
Seems realistic to me. But I understand some people want to be shit eaters and if you like "fake news/conspiracy/false info" then their channels are really good for that. They are not good for anyone who want to get better knowledge of the game. Their builds are mid but they say its the best. There is huge cap between mid and best xd. Mid goes and specs like first grader and the build that is best will be min-maxing. It's like some wannabe investor makes video, best investment to end 2024 and then they talk about everything that would lose you money or if you are lucky will break back even. Its like asking for directions how to get there fastest and then getting tricked into walking long path around. But to each his own. I now understand the meme of CONSUUUMERRR zoom zoom
Don't you think it creates a more toxic environment to spawn an endless stream of click bait? Makes it a lot harder to find good information when you have to sift through literally everything being the BEST most BROKEN build ever.
I absolutely hate D4 content creators with their "ULTIMATE BUILD" - "NEW BEST ULTIMATE BUILD" - "FINAL NEW BEST ULTIMATE BUILD V2 ITS SO BROKEN AND INSANE DAMAGE I SHIT MY PANTS WHILE PLAYING IT" and sh*t. it's absolutely atrocious. like even on mobalytics you got a bunch of those. I really only stick to maxroll nowadays cuz I never ran into a bad build there. it's sad cuz I miss out on nice and fun builds some people spent hours on developing them but it's so absolutely atrocious to find them on YT cuz all those clickbait channels got so many subs (idk why tbh) and that's all YT ever shows you
😂 you know why you have to find good Diamonds? Bcuz they dont show self in First place. Same Principe, unfortunately algoritmus promote these shit channels with clickbait....
Reminds me of all the garbage videos people used to make of their builds in Division 2. They go and tell you it's one of the best out there and that it clears all content. You go and try and build it and question how TF they even got as far as they did without being hard-carried by friends cus you die repeatedly and do no damage. It really isn't hard to do some research to see who is legit and who is a click-baiter, but people just don't put the time into it and continue to get scammed.
The 12:30 tree is ripped off from BigDaddyGaming and the original is actually very good. Except the dude who ripped it off has no idea what weapon swap is, and what gems to use with it. You can get 92% shocks with that thing just from tree, 85+ max res over the board and insane single target dps.
The problem with ragegaming is that they rush to cover whatever game is popular but when the game is complicated like POE they dont know enough but still want to put our guides which leads to the shit content. They are basically like fextralife but without the view botting.
I think the biggest problem with like channels like Ragegaming is that they collect a bunch of different streamers endgame builds that look fun and replicate/imitate. Where as finding starter/fresh account builds is actually pretty difficult. I think the learning curve for this game is a bit much sometimes for new people.
Bait Builds - Giant flashy titles with a stupid face shot. (Uh oh, that most creators now...) CC does not show their gear, progression, or stats by general level. They do their showcase using Mobalytics, perfect rolled gear, and provide no insight on where you should be in the scaling. Bonus points - they blur or hide the level of content they are running. Find a guild, establish trust, grow in community, meet chill people - crowd source info with trustworthy sources.
I will shed no tear for "build makers" that get flamed for having their builds 20% less optimized. Cuz that usually happens because they yoink a build from someone else, change 1-2 small things, then voila: "Check out my new best build in the game".
You should watch the videos yourself, unfortunately DSLily talks a lot of nonsense, which creates unnecessary hatred. For example, in the videos from RageGaming, where she claims that they say you should set low prices and then adjust them upwards, that's not true. They clearly say in the video that new players should try to inform themselves, observe and learn. They say you should downgrade your prices if it doesn't sell for a long time, and only if you have made a big miscalculation, which is currently happening because hardcore players are manipulating the market, then it's okay to see that it was crap and the price adjust upwards. But it is clearly emphasized that you are still learning and should then know better! And the second one isn't even a ranking, it's just an order to present builds and their creators so that new players can choose something there to find out more. Yes, some of them are builds based on ranking, but also builds that RageGaming personally found interesting and says so in the video. Yes their titles are exaggerated but the content is decent. The titles are also more for the core community, as they know that the boys are looking to have fun with the game and also like to fool around.
The sad part is im a beginner with 700hr in poe and i COMPLEATLY resprleced to make the build showed here. I was like wow wierd build but ok cuz poe content creators usaly dont missplay so bad. 8 had to redo the whole character...
I dont follow build guides, but i do drop by Maxroll and see what they've written, or watch their teams' content. Or ill listen to Ziz's podcasts. Talkative Tri has been putting out really great interview casts that ill listen to while playing. Other than that, i dont really click on build videos regardless of the creator.
I tried that exact galvanic shardss build 2 times!!! and it suuckedddddddd!!!! Respec'd to a grenades build on maxroll because at least they kind of vet their stuff. BTW all the maxroll stuff i've tried so far has worked really well.
I have a hard time following builds without trade working on ps5, but maxroll has a good rep. I will look them up to have an idea what to build though.
i had to laugh so hard when she is like "Gear doesn't matter". Gear is literally the #1 most important thing action rpg. in fact, a large reason why your not doing damage in story mode is that every piece weapon needs to have +level of skills, high & damage roll and flat damage. If you don't have that, your leveling is experience is going to complete ass. Skills obviously matter as well. there's is obvious difference between using Ice strike with Monk bell that has 100%+120% scale, aka 220% damage scaling skill vs Glacial carcade that is 80% damage scaling skill. the number obviously matter on skills.
there is a cc named allie, i saw her tri stacking budget pillar build and went for it (her all argument was the build was enough to take you to t15 and farm for hwa there) and at t9 my explosive shot merc blasting the brraches turned into -2div shitty ass pillar of god cosplayer no damage tank without howa the str stacking version CERTAINLY not enough until t15 but at her video she was showing the build at t15 etc. later i watched her new video after she ruined my casual ass she was using some same footage and saw her howa when she opened the inventory. AVOID THE ALLIE too. peace
well the game aint super gear reliant using skills correctly and upgrading your skill setup also does a lot but yeah I wouldnt play without spending a whole minute at the vendor because those +1 wands and stuff make a huge difference in terms of speed
I've posted items for like half of what they're worth and gotten spammed before, it's a little irritating knowing I miscalculated the value for one reason or another, but I always honor my posted price, unless I literally made a mistake and threw a divine into a 1-C buyout tab or something. Like, sure, I could break my word and try to get more value out of it, but I value my own word more than I value some digital items in a videogame.
Ooof, that CC that claimed "gear doesn't really matter" is ROUGH. I went in completely blind to PoE II (had maybe 10 hours experience in PoE 1) and after about the 5th time eating dirt in the Act 1 final boss fight I decided to check my cold resistance- I decided to find items to take it from 10%(ish) to over 40% and the fight was a breeze. In that moment I realized your skill tree is like a third of your potential (assuming you don't do the Hobbiton -> Rivendell -> Mordor-> Go Back -> Up, up, up the stairs -> Back to Mordor route lol).
I followed his builds and immediately quit the game. They are not new player friendly at all no matter what the title says. He barly posts pob. He is a very experienced good poe player and makes every build look really easy when he has sunk tones if currency in his builds to make it work. Do not recommend as a a new player at all.

LOL
It definitely broke my brain seeing that tree
Tree looks like when you're in pob and you misclick a node and the tree just paths there, and he did that a few times and was like "yep that's the tree for the build" and it's literally worse than if he had just put in nodes blind folded.
I'm having so much fun playing galvanic/shockburst Merc after my minion build, but this tree is a crime
It's not his build probably.
This is why i concentrate on content creators that have done years of content in poe 1
Cool story bro
a lot of the builds early on were nerf'd, but i think most of the builds came from an ai system
13:15 fun fact: It's not even the optimal path to Resolute Technique from the rest of his build.
Wasted 3 points getting there.
last league or this league i was watching Alkaizer and he was wasting one skill point just for nothing with wrong pathing i saw with like 10s watching his tree
Technically could still be correct for the 2 jewel nodes. I'm not defending this atrocious build though lol
@@banishedbr it was probably for a dex tattoo for spell suppression. I truly doubt he left a wasted point into his endgame, big doubt
As a new player, the first time I traded for a better weapon i felt like my power quadripled. Trading for gear the first time was the single greatest power boost i got in the game.
it do be like that. whenever i feel my dmg isnt enough anymore i spend like an hr searching for good, cheap gear then the game is on easy mode again
"Quadripled" for some reason tickled my funny bone.
yeah, had some trouble with some bosses in act two and I kept seeing people saying "skill issue" little did I know I could use a few of the exalted orbs I had gathered to buy better gear and have absolutely no issue whatsoever.
Every RageGaming video title includes the words "BEST MOST GAMEBREAKING OP EVER"

Yeah, thanks, but still her content is usually so low quality that it's indigestible for me.
The hardest part about trying to follow guides right now is there's very little explanation throughout the leveling process. It just shows a final trree and gem setup with like supports that make sense when everything is put together. Many times there are better supports to use during leveling, like before you take a keystone or some notables on the tree. I'm left struggling to figure out how to make it feel good while leveling and often quit on it and try something else.
then you should look up a campaign levelling up guide instead of a build guide that's already put together. Zizaran's videos are very new player friendly.
Raxxanterax is good for guides, has leveling and endgame
You need to look for the right style of guide and it does take some searching. There are many guides that exist that explain what they used while leveling as an example. They have no way to cater the build for your exact experience. It's literally impossible.
Honestly mate, i agree with you in poe1. 9 fucking pages of gems.
Now POE2 Is substantially easier and i've played poe since legacy league.
Look at thw low budget or early mapping tree, look for the most valuable notables then start pathing to them. And for gems once you click the support it shows you recommendations per tier. Its just so convenient
@@royzed2039 The problem is the leveling guides are just as bad as the endgame builds. You end up bricking a character half the time.
I used to watch RageGaming' but every video was "NEW BEST TOP 5 BREAKING GODLY HEAVENLY BUILD THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING PLAY BEFORE FIX"...every single video, every single day.
I'm okay with clickbait if you deliver something useful, best thing is if you have a build planner I can check from time to time
expect mroe slop videos when wilds will release
And the commentator(s) always have the most obnoxious voices
I can’t stand their content
Idk how they’re so big for so long
What's even funnier is they threw thier wallets at a few half good items and still have shit builds because they don't understand the game at all.
Rage is 3 creators with different styles so it's 1 channel 3 different creators .
Elon propped them up as his record run was based on their info and many fastest clears used rage builds , they exploded because their builds worked for casuals amazingly in D4
Thanks to them act 1 stopped being a hard fight as a warrior for me personally.
Ragegaming have surface level knowledge but they try to use it for "deep" level conclusions and sweeping clickbaity statements which will usually work for casuals because it takes some time to realize they got misinformed so most will never do it.
RageGaming makes click bate videos for dozens of major games (Monster Hunter, Soulsborn, aRPGs, Cyberpunk, Witcher etc). Games with fixed loot tables they post top meta builds usually a day or so after some known creator shows their broken build.
The gear not being important really got me :D
Try fighting the crazy flameflower lady in act2 with -10 fire res and with +40 fire res and tell me there is no difference
Or upgrading your weapon that literally 2-3x your damage
But sure getting +1level on your gem surely does the same :D
I wanted to punch myself after figuring out how big resist was.
I did her last night (Lol) with my mercenary and no fire resist, but it's not my first character or new to poe games. That's the power of ranged builds thought. Resist is super important, i just happened to have none at the time.
I kept getting oneshot by flamethrower lady's melee flailing until I got boots with a lot more movement speed. You don't have to stress perfect dodge rolling 4x when you can just be nowhere near her.
@@EasyLitterBoxCleanup I won't wear boots without movement speed.
Your resist doesn't matter if she doesn't hit you and she is not hard to avoid. Doing more damage is always good, because you have less room to screw up, if the boss dies fast, but yes getting +1 level on your gem surely does the same in some cases, because in some builds, upgrading the gem level is the highest DPS increase you can get.
Ghazzy kinda lookin like the dude at the circus with the big hammer
Thought he looked more like he's* Tectone's cousin XD
Quin69?
The strong man, i f see it haha.
Ragegaming is like fextralife
I'm seeing alot of hate for Ragegaming in the comments here which is unfortunate. Yes they put out a lot of slop clickbait stuff but that is just the keep the algorithm happy pay the bills stuff. Their videos outside of that are a lot of fun. Fextralife adds nothing of worth. Ragegaming has given me tons of entertainment from monster hunter videos to weirdly enough rollercoaster themepark videos. I mostly just feel bad because it is pretty much delegated to Hollow to make all the slop videos because he has some interesting takes on games outside of those.
@@maddmind3756rage gaming is cringe and click baiting for so long will eventually net them a loss quickly. Open World Games is another one who just reads patch notes and has the dumbest titles I’ve ever seen.
@@maddmind3756 poe comments/reddit are VERY bandwagon-y since poe 2 release. ragegaming isnt even as bad as poebuilds. fextra is an entirely different level.
@@maddmind3756 If you make monster hunter and rollercoaster tycoon slop and then rush out some trash PoE2 videos because the game's trending then you deserve some criticism from the community. It's not just that they're stealing views from people like Ghazzy and Lily but they could potentially harm the chances of new people getting into the game who could become future viewers of the people who make good content and have dedicated years of 80 hour weeks to the game.
@@maddmind3756nice try ragegaming alt account
I saw her vid last night, and gave her a follow because I was thinking the same thing she pointed out. Then saw a vid where she pointed out something on trade that made the exp 10x better. She's spot on from what I can see.
lily has been solid for a long ass time
Lily is savage and based
She has 10k hours in PoE1. She's an actual pro.
You guys are all virgins. Pathetic
@@epyjacek She only has 10k? damn
I’m just glad yall are bringing this up. We want the community to grow healthy not handicap all the new players coming over smh. It’s actually crazy.
Saw a build last night where the person said that a unique was absolutely necessary for the build to work and then the person noted that they had a bunch up for trade on the trade site. Immediate no
You should find that item just because
Wat?
If it's a common build, and the unique is necessary, maybe they were doing his damn community a favor and listing the unique at a lower cost?
Jesus Christ on high.
@@GeraldHarnack-x4tYeah if you think this guy is just going to buy out the entire market of absolutely required uniques then relist them at a reasonable price after making a "GIGA ONESHOT 300K DPS 500 MOVEMENT SPEED oh and btw I have a tonne of these completely required uniques for sale so you should totally try this build" and think he is doing you a service you might deserve to get scammed
well it's a free market so if hrs gouging he won't be able to sell them so seems fine
@@GeraldHarnack-x4t the problem is the item is common and he's generating interest in the item by making a " build" based around the common item and selling it for much more than it's worth.
Ghazzygold or AsmonTV, you pick. Also, Ghazzy went all in on the Asmongold cosplay with the haircut.
For a second i read "Do not watch this BALD creators" hahahaha
Even though I'm no creator, as a fellow baldie I can second that, don't trust us.
An orignal Asmongold react video 😮 its even got the " turn the 10 minute vidoe into a 23 min one... " wow.😮
chat did him dirty... didnt they...
Dig the honesty out of you . Realized you were pretty genuine with your content when i checked your frost mage and it was almost identical to mine & helm stackers besides like 1 jewel lol. He gets no recognition but you mention him in the video, I just look for folks who clear the hardest content with their characters, not for thumbnails. I do not have the knowledge for making skill trees, so I play fub, goratha, and ben’s characters , that is all haha.
RageGaming used to be somewhat decent but he embraced the era of clickbait like it was the best drug ever I imagine at this point his Sub count is mostly people who just couldn't be bothered to unsub as you average roughly equal numbers of views despite a tenth the subs.
As someone who is More MMO based, and has played seasonally in D3 and some D4 and trying the Path of Exiles side for the first time its easy to be misled. POE the original was daunting because there were so many systems that i had no clue about that I didn't want to dive in with other options available. POE2 seemed like the perfect opportunity and it has been a blast. I've definitely had my struggles and have been watching a bunch of vids.... many from these channels that just got blasted. As someone new its a struggle to always feel behind the ball. appreciate your help on the minions side of things as I have been enjoying it a lot. Will have to find the other class people too. I actually thought i had found a bunch of good minion advice, but then heard so many conflicting ideas, take some time to learn so once again appreciate your efforts and content!
Videos build guides are usually not very good in poe. Maxroll is probably the best for being really detailed most of the time. Mobalytics and once icy veins has their poe2 site up are good to. Written guides with planners are your best friend when it comes to poe
The only thing worse than people putting out suboptimal information with click-bait titles are the elitists who don't even play games for fun.
when the optimal becomes mandatory - we have a problem
Sadly, OG POE content creator will make new players feel like that.
New Best Most Game breaking... sounds like it's trying to hit all the algorithm keywords for searches in order to be higher on the list.
“I’m not gonna say their names” calls them out directly 😂😂
when me and my buddy started playing D4 I remember telling him that ragegaming content was inaccurate or just straight lies, (I was already following reliable content creators and the info in their vids didn't match) and by the time, they deleted a comment of mine that was pointing out their miss information. I feel so validated now, thank you
Fyi Elon used one of their builds as base to break record so it clearly wasn't bad info 😂 several top leaderboard people had their builds .
@@DarkepyonX Which build?
@@DarkepyonXYou mean one of the builds they copy-pasted from someone else?
We have an lesser issue with some content makers that make builds that they plan on spending crap tons of divines on, and will be extremely sub par without that investment level. Then we also have some that change the version number on their build guides without actually doing any updates to the build, modernizing it with the latest tech, or even attempting to compensate for various nerfs.
Your hair cut looks good man.
You pull the bald off really well as someone who is losing all their hair and doesn't you are blessed my guy.
What needs to happen for ghazzy to put on a he man wig now?
Get him to agree to a sub goal by grouping with chat and pushing for it. Just like anything in life if it's reasonable you just need group peer pressure and money as incentive.
Thanks to your crafting guide and Craft of Exiles I became one of the crafters of my guild and had great understanding of affixes blocking manipulation in POE 1. Keep rocking!
Can't see dislikes without a plugin and negative comments already have to fight auto moderation from youtube before the channel owner even sees it. That and bots makes it easy to pump numbers.
I try to make a build for me that is a little more creative, but im not sure how this unarmed attacks exactly work.
I saw that the charakter changes for quarterstaff when i use "killing palm" but do exist stats on my Quarterstaff i can use even when i attack ith my bare fist? Like "increased elemental damage with attacks" or "+ level for melee skills" or du ineed stats thatnot effect my skills like attributes.
Omfg is this why people are pricing shit and then when you whisper they take it down and put it up again for 1 div more? I spent an entire night trying to get a decent HoWA for 5-6 divs and literally..... 40-50 messages I got 0 responses/invites and about 20 of them took the item down and posted it up again. I called each of them a scumbag and put them on my ignore list. But now I know who to really blame. Fuck me.
depends, if it's the 1st listings, aka at the top of the search, then it's 99% of the time somone who want to market manipulate and not sell
It has to be. I remember trying to buy items (before when divines were still 1 exalt) that were listed as 1ex - 3ex. I had live search on and would whisper for the trade, then everyone would immediately delist the item and bring the price up to 10ex+
it depends ^^
the biggest issue is that decimal numbers are not shown on trade. so you might list an item for 5,5div, it only shows 5div and you get showered with requests so you put it out and reprice it to 6.
ofc there are always items where you dont notice you have a good roll since checking rolls on uniques is not supported yet and some obvious pricefixers ontop and you can run into that problem fairly often
@@keonjthat's more like they set a whole tab with a fix 1 ex price then the api crawled as it is but they priced it correctly. you know the updates are delayed sometimes :) but the other can be true as well
I mean, that's what trade is all about. The ignore list ... :D. I barely started trading, I'm ignoring like a 100 people already :D
So glad you brought this up. Being a noob, I was interested in one of those that was mentioned, and I appreciate you bringing out the honesty of true content creators vs the clickbait creators. I will be watching out for those three at least. Please, in the future, if you're able to call any others out. PoE 1 or 2 needs to remain clean of that kind of trash. Thumb Up to you and other honest content creators.
7:15 is it rly that buffaling ? ever heared of bought subscriptions, thats not a new concept. If the content is rly as bad as described and the like/view ratio is shit as well then you can definetly point to bought subs.
I've been giving out warnings for Kaidgames for years now. His "build guides" for New World was hilarious, he dropped guides that was made with stolen twitch/youtube footage and where the guide itself was made for a previous patch. He could say "Use X spell" but X spell was removed 2 patches ago, but he dropped the guide today. Crazy stuff.
that tree has more lines then nodes.
it's a new one
the game is not ready. lov u
I am a returning POE player that quit because the game mechanics got so bloated and complicated, POE felt like a second job. I also played Diablo 4 and was frustrated that all of my friends were falling victim to this, and REFUSED to listen to me the resident expert, because the channels had millions of followers and videos had that many views. I get on POE2 a few days late, and what do I do? I look for exactly what type of build I am looking for, and I go and search the Tube until I find a dude thats running a stupid insane subathon whre he is grinding the game and the class for 28 to 29 hours at a time lmao. Not the dudes with flashy videos and cool edits and edgy or exciting titles. That way I know that when I get myself to end game, and then decide I want to play around a bit, at least I know I was GUIDED in the correct way. W to you brother for what you offer the community. I may be new here, but it was clear from the first click I picked a dude that knew summoners.
you people gotta stop trying to gatekeep
I got a ring from my uncle.
I did not understand where that was going, but neither did that skill tree.
you cant play melee in maps the same way ypu can spark or a bow build. Sure you could make a viable melee build but its not nearly as fast,smooth,or as cheap
Literally 100% false. Multiple instant nuke melee builds.
Hammer is amazing and highly used. Their is a build using it to clear maps as well...
One tap explosion warrior exists. Kiterally walk through the game...
Resonating sheild build is crashing maps. . .
Just because you can't doesn't mean itndoesnt wxist... stop it
Ice strike monk literally one shotting more than the entire screen at a time, wut
T10 maps 62 hours with my Warbringer, get gud scrub 😂😂😂

@@iFossyeah has genius not watched Invoker gameplay 😂😂😂
I actually like the Galvanic shard Merc as a class and build itself, running around and shotgunning shit n stuff.
I also found that Resolute Technique guide and built my merc following that guide up until lvl 22 when I was like: "Wtf....pumping passive points into sooooo many Dex nodes feels like a waste." Scrapped that merc and started another one :D
Dslily is awful and rage gaming is fine. So much jealousy. Sad. I get that it’s a tough way to make a living and lots of competition due to a very low barrier to entry but damn.
Shes right though, Ive watched these clickbait bs as well. Im 15k hours deep into PoE1 and part of a very small percentage of the playerbase who actually crams anything endgame. Lily is completely correct, its not jealousy. Clickbaiters for the masses. I even had a rl friend who played and said he followed the rage guy and I just laughed and then had to fix his build. If you believe his stuff, I dont even know what to tell you brother, youll have a shitty experience.
I've been looking for some inspiration to try something new and this is what I have noticed as well, I cant search for builds without being buried in 47 BEST EVER builds and then I click on the video I see their 2200 hp and I'm like, there's no way. . .
A part of the problem is that a lot of the "bad" producers have way better editing, way clearer audio, etc. They just flat out put out better content in every way *except* for accurate information lol but it's way easier to follow what they're saying, hear them clearly, etc. The more niche people who put the work into getting the gameplay info right often have shit mics, shit quality, have overlays that take up 90% of the screen so you can't see wtf is happening, etc.
This is very common in the Warframe community. The videos from the people who know things the best are *such shit quality* and the videos that are clear, concise, and to the point but contain terrible, god awful builds get the most views because... they're actually watchable.
It's pretty much the same in War Thunder too. Style over substance can really bamboozle people on YT :/
Not just in gaming. Also goes for advertising or politics in the real world. It's really easy to manipulate people into believing they're given accurate information, because they assume if it's well produced, there must be something to what they're saying.
That reminds me of science communication.
On one sides you have experts sharing exhaustive and precise informations, but only people with a real interest in the field would listen to them.
On the other sides, you have "journalists" who barely understand anything but are mostly interested in attracting the widest audience possible, simplifying outrageously what they've already barely understood for the sake of clickbaiting. And that's how you end up with absurdities like the "God's particle", that is then taken literally by a part of the audience.
Rage has been doing videos for years they earned their spot just bc none of you ppl know them dosent mean anything. she called a great channel baiters then gave 0 evidence of said bait they are not d4 mains etc. they started in monster hunter years ago then naturally branched out. Already unsubbed from lilly ur next on the block hate that i supported you and her so much during subbathon. Rage does not deserve this hate from poe cc. If the poe cc made better content just like the orb of chance target video rage made they wouldnt need to fill the gap. So how bout you and lilly make better guides and videos instead of throwing shade at other this is a L take.
LOL mad cus their favorite creator is bad
As a nerd with 15.000 hours in PoE, I can tell you that youre wrong. I gain nothing from saying it, doesnt benefit me in any way since I dont do content. Hes clueless, its clickbait. End of story. Follow and use it if you want, but youll have a harder time. Oh and I dont follow Lily either, but shes right nonetheless.
Nice for you guys to point this out. I was searching on youtube for build inspiration looked at a few videos and was like: what the .... i can do this better?!
Sad the so called "OG's" of the game, that have guides where you need to have several Divine orbs for gear and only very little amount of players will be able to accomplish because they cant spend the massive amount of hours as they do to get this. These gatekeepers trashing on content creators that provide a more accessible option is really sad. Either way, its iust a f'ing game and policing this is beyond crazy
Its not about gear, its about shity tree.
The exact same thing happened with Elden Ring. Fromsoft games where popular already, but still somewhat niche-y. Elden Ring blew up and so many content creators who never talked about these games in the first place where coming up with "Best pvp build, one shot everyone!!". When a game goes from somewhat popular to very fucking popular overnight with a new release this is bound to happen.
nice hair. asmonbald should take notes
1:39 just put red circles and arrows in the thumb nail. Gets people to click every time wondering why a certain thing was circled lol
Are you going to cover their response video for balance? If not this does seem a bit like gate keeping elitism.
Their response video was terrible, he literally said, "Okay, it's not the most optimal, im providing my budget option" and yet the video is titled, BEST MOST OP BUILD. You can't reconcile those two ideas simultaneously, it is a lie.
14:11 "grenade merc jesus christ not even close"
I'm currently really enjoying my grenade merc in act 3 norm. I am the type of person, though, who doesn't want to "waste" my time playing a build that won't perform well at the highest level. Can anyone tell me how grenades fall off, and what merc builds are at least good enough to not be laughed out of the room?
Idk seems toxic to me. Yeah they clickbait hard but "Dont watch their videos they arent good enough watch MY videos!" rubs me the wrong way.
Seems realistic to me. But I understand some people want to be shit eaters and if you like "fake news/conspiracy/false info" then their channels are really good for that.
They are not good for anyone who want to get better knowledge of the game.
Their builds are mid but they say its the best. There is huge cap between mid and best xd.
Mid goes and specs like first grader and the build that is best will be min-maxing.
It's like some wannabe investor makes video, best investment to end 2024 and then they talk about everything that would lose you money or if you are lucky will break back even.
Its like asking for directions how to get there fastest and then getting tricked into walking long path around.
But to each his own.
I now understand the meme of CONSUUUMERRR zoom zoom
Don't you think it creates a more toxic environment to spawn an endless stream of click bait? Makes it a lot harder to find good information when you have to sift through literally everything being the BEST most BROKEN build ever.
When the title says "blah blah BLAH blah BLAH" like someone who doesn't know the true function on caps lock, you know it's clickbait
I absolutely hate D4 content creators with their "ULTIMATE BUILD" - "NEW BEST ULTIMATE BUILD" - "FINAL NEW BEST ULTIMATE BUILD V2 ITS SO BROKEN AND INSANE DAMAGE I SHIT MY PANTS WHILE PLAYING IT" and sh*t. it's absolutely atrocious. like even on mobalytics you got a bunch of those. I really only stick to maxroll nowadays cuz I never ran into a bad build there. it's sad cuz I miss out on nice and fun builds some people spent hours on developing them but it's so absolutely atrocious to find them on YT cuz all those clickbait channels got so many subs (idk why tbh) and that's all YT ever shows you
😂 you know why you have to find good Diamonds? Bcuz they dont show self in First place. Same Principe, unfortunately algoritmus promote these shit channels with clickbait....
@3:17 'RMT' is mentioned, what's RMT?, asking for my PoE2 newb friend.
Real Money Trading
Reminds me of all the garbage videos people used to make of their builds in Division 2. They go and tell you it's one of the best out there and that it clears all content. You go and try and build it and question how TF they even got as far as they did without being hard-carried by friends cus you die repeatedly and do no damage. It really isn't hard to do some research to see who is legit and who is a click-baiter, but people just don't put the time into it and continue to get scammed.
Shocking people to lazy to play games themselves don't research videos 🙄
The 12:30 tree is ripped off from BigDaddyGaming and the original is actually very good. Except the dude who ripped it off has no idea what weapon swap is, and what gems to use with it. You can get 92% shocks with that thing just from tree, 85+ max res over the board and insane single target dps.
The problem with ragegaming is that they rush to cover whatever game is popular but when the game is complicated like POE they dont know enough but still want to put our guides which leads to the shit content.
They are basically like fextralife but without the view botting.
Saw people calling them out in comments and their reply was "its still good info for new players" Thats horrible
That Kaid dude who puts out guides for every new game that drops has to be on this list.
imo the best way to look at clickbait is that its only bad if its over the top or if the video does not life up to the bait standard
Ragegamingvideos started to went down to shit when the third guy entered their team. Now they only make clickbait content, for every game they cover.
It's been clickbait since day 1. Now it's clickbait x3
@@colby8104 nah, they were pretty good when their channel was only about monster hunter, then it went to shit.
I think the biggest problem with like channels like Ragegaming is that they collect a bunch of different streamers endgame builds that look fun and replicate/imitate. Where as finding starter/fresh account builds is actually pretty difficult. I think the learning curve for this game is a bit much sometimes for new people.
She's the female version of Asmon.
That is an insult.
Bait Builds - Giant flashy titles with a stupid face shot. (Uh oh, that most creators now...) CC does not show their gear, progression, or stats by general level. They do their showcase using Mobalytics, perfect rolled gear, and provide no insight on where you should be in the scaling. Bonus points - they blur or hide the level of content they are running. Find a guild, establish trust, grow in community, meet chill people - crowd source info with trustworthy sources.
She is on that list of irrelevant POE streamers....She is not Naming anyone so this is typical of her...she has a Skill Issue.
She is one of the competent PoE streamers. I don't know what your problem is.
Except she's right this time. The POE2 videos are garbage.
xD
She named ragegaming. Are you just a bot and did not watch the video?
Really been enjoying Lilys content lately.
Wait...what's wrong with Grenade Mercs? I am having fun blowing up my screen and the mobs.
Poe has a huge problem of clickbaiters and gatekeepers. We need to call out both !
finding a new weapon in POE2 is the difference between 3hitting whitemobs and oneshotting them
8:02 so there is just 1 best version of the tree that every build needs to follow? xD
lmao that witch build aint lieing the build is ACTUALLY broken. haha
I will shed no tear for "build makers" that get flamed for having their builds 20% less optimized. Cuz that usually happens because they yoink a build from someone else, change 1-2 small things, then voila: "Check out my new best build in the game".
Ghazzy shaved his head to guide his minions better , the hair blocked some signals.
"Until then: stay safe; eat broccoli."
You should watch the videos yourself, unfortunately DSLily talks a lot of nonsense, which creates unnecessary hatred. For example, in the videos from RageGaming, where she claims that they say you should set low prices and then adjust them upwards, that's not true. They clearly say in the video that new players should try to inform themselves, observe and learn. They say you should downgrade your prices if it doesn't sell for a long time, and only if you have made a big miscalculation, which is currently happening because hardcore players are manipulating the market, then it's okay to see that it was crap and the price adjust upwards. But it is clearly emphasized that you are still learning and should then know better!
And the second one isn't even a ranking, it's just an order to present builds and their creators so that new players can choose something there to find out more. Yes, some of them are builds based on ranking, but also builds that RageGaming personally found interesting and says so in the video.
Yes their titles are exaggerated but the content is decent. The titles are also more for the core community, as they know that the boys are looking to have fun with the game and also like to fool around.
The sad part is im a beginner with 700hr in poe and i COMPLEATLY resprleced to make the build showed here. I was like wow wierd build but ok cuz poe content creators usaly dont missplay so bad. 8 had to redo the whole character...
I dont follow build guides, but i do drop by Maxroll and see what they've written, or watch their teams' content. Or ill listen to Ziz's podcasts. Talkative Tri has been putting out really great interview casts that ill listen to while playing. Other than that, i dont really click on build videos regardless of the creator.
As a new player just follow Empyrean Builds, super starter friendly on a budget ;)
Me walking into video expecting typical asmongold commenting on someone else's video : Whoa dude what happened to your hair?
I tried that exact galvanic shardss build 2 times!!! and it suuckedddddddd!!!! Respec'd to a grenades build on maxroll because at least they kind of vet their stuff. BTW all the maxroll stuff i've tried so far has worked really well.
I have a hard time following builds without trade working on ps5, but maxroll has a good rep. I will look them up to have an idea what to build though.
Gear is so much more important in early game in POE2 than it was in POE1.
They just say whatever they think the person watching wants to hear. Cheap, broken, bestest, Budget or easiest. It's just sad.
i had to laugh so hard when she is like "Gear doesn't matter". Gear is literally the #1 most important thing action rpg. in fact, a large reason why your not doing damage in story mode is that every piece weapon needs to have +level of skills, high & damage roll and flat damage. If you don't have that, your leveling is experience is going to complete ass. Skills obviously matter as well. there's is obvious difference between using Ice strike with Monk bell that has 100%+120% scale, aka 220% damage scaling skill vs Glacial carcade that is 80% damage scaling skill. the number obviously matter on skills.
Me who has a similar tree that i came up with on my own: "well f me" 8:38
there is a cc named allie, i saw her tri stacking budget pillar build and went for it (her all argument was the build was enough to take you to t15 and farm for hwa there) and at t9 my explosive shot merc blasting the brraches turned into -2div shitty ass pillar of god cosplayer no damage tank without howa the str stacking version CERTAINLY not enough until t15 but at her video she was showing the build at t15 etc. later i watched her new video after she ruined my casual ass she was using some same footage and saw her howa when she opened the inventory. AVOID THE ALLIE too. peace
well the game aint super gear reliant using skills correctly and upgrading your skill setup also does a lot but yeah I wouldnt play without spending a whole minute at the vendor because those +1 wands and stuff make a huge difference in terms of speed
I've posted items for like half of what they're worth and gotten spammed before, it's a little irritating knowing I miscalculated the value for one reason or another, but I always honor my posted price, unless I literally made a mistake and threw a divine into a 1-C buyout tab or something. Like, sure, I could break my word and try to get more value out of it, but I value my own word more than I value some digital items in a videogame.
Im new to Poe 2 and wonder is it possible to do a bonestorm monk with added poison?
Ooof, that CC that claimed "gear doesn't really matter" is ROUGH.
I went in completely blind to PoE II (had maybe 10 hours experience in PoE 1) and after about the 5th time eating dirt in the Act 1 final boss fight I decided to check my cold resistance- I decided to find items to take it from 10%(ish) to over 40% and the fight was a breeze. In that moment I realized your skill tree is like a third of your potential (assuming you don't do the Hobbiton -> Rivendell -> Mordor-> Go Back -> Up, up, up the stairs -> Back to Mordor route lol).
they're taking the hobbits to Isengard!
To Isengard, to Isengard!
Are the FastAF builds actually legit ? I see reels for them often but they never show their builds specs.
I followed his builds and immediately quit the game. They are not new player friendly at all no matter what the title says. He barly posts pob. He is a very experienced good poe player and makes every build look really easy when he has sunk tones if currency in his builds to make it work. Do not recommend as a a new player at all.
FastAF is a patreon clown that wants money for his PoBs.
U need a blue hoodie and a blue mohawk and the twitch chimera will be complete
