Titan is fine, you can clear content on it, but it is weaker than it feels it should be. Warrior does need some help in general, I just have no idea how they can make it better. Maybe give them some crazy survivability in the ascendancies that actually makes them tanky, allows them to branch off more into damage for the same survivabilty they have now or become practically invulnerable by going into more defensives on the general skill tree. Right now both ascendies are just as susceptible to being oneshot as every other class, maybe it's just my desire for unga bunga, but I'd like to see a Warrior ascendancy that goes hard into thorns and survivability. Rn I'm working on a thorns warrior, it's already falling apart at the start of act 3 and with no way to further scale thorns from skill tree (Have a unique and armor pieces that help it already) and it's a little sad.
As a person who hit maps on a 1. Gemling merc 2. Deadeye ranger 3. Infernalist witch Between all the classes witch is by far the slowest in terms of mobility. End game builds DO include a shield so she can shield charge spam her way around but doing so could get you killed because moving too far away from your minions kills them to respawn them. Gemling merc can off hand mace and shield and move around with that. Deadeye just zooms with tailwind and base mv spd. Narrow corridors are a pain in the ass. Minions get stuck in fking small hallway doors all the fking time. Pros. With the right build you can become the tankiest class in the game and still merc everything. 20% damage redirect to dog. With the right amount of energy shield and grim feast you can run around with 15-17k energy shield. Chaos inoculation puts you to 1 health but makes you immune to chaos damage. Part of your ascendacy redirects some physical damage done to you as chaos damage (which you are immune to). So you end up a chonky 15k monstrosity with an army of body blockers and a fat shield protecting your ass with block so you have multiple damage mitigators stacked. The entire time you are back line spamming fire walls, flammibility, pain offering etc but you can honestly just focus on surviving. Mind you. They havent added spectres yet.
Rerolling is a huge part of enjoying PoE. Locking yourself into one build you will burn out. They made all these awesome classes and abilities for a reason :D
Eeehh sorta? Definitely is in PoE2 but the fun of PoE1 was seasonal characters and all the new stuff every 'class' gets. Part of that is rerolling sure, but seasons are what makes these games. Standard league in and of itself burns you out just 'cuz there's nothing new and crazy to do at a certain point.
Cross, my dude. The Mercenary walks around with a SHOTGUN. You need to try that out my dude, nades, shotgun, shield slam as secondary weapon for movement.
Endgame is a bit over tuned right now, white mobs doing one shots is a bit much. But thats the main reason that we only have the first 3 acts. EA is mainly being done for us to test out the endgame. So dont abandon your titan, it's good being able to see and test out the changes that happen.
@@Scoobert54 even with higher life and res, many people are getting 1 shot by white mobs in higher tier maps. It's a problem happening to a bunch of players. So yes, the endgame is definitely over tuned right now. But like I said, that's what the early access is primarily for. To test the endgame, that's I told him he shouldn't fully abandon the char.
@@Scoobert54 To be fair I think it was acknowledged by GGG that there are some unforgiving situations in mapping like on-death effects which I believe are being retuned. But that's exactly why this EA exists.
@Scoobert54 honestly it feels totally fine for me and my boy. I rolled a Sorc and he rolled a Merc, and we’re both absolutely crushing thru T11s atm. Granted we’ve been playing for years. U just gotta make a decent build and know how to gear. Other than the Res Penalties and on death mechanics that they patched, it’s not overtuned. It’s actually in a fantastic place in my opinion.
Yeah it’s been pretty frustrating playing Warrior, the campaign process was a constant back and forth of “I’m useless” and “I’m busted” nearly every day. Once I hit endgame though, I just can’t feasibly keep up with other classes when they’re able to do more damage from further away and remain safe, this game just isn’t made for the melee fantasy.
Hello, fellow Warlock main) love the content, you're doing super well for a blueberry, this is gonna get BIG. Minion limit is that you can only scale their dma to a certain point, the wont go crazy one-tap endgame bosses, at some point you'll only improve by upping the amount of them. Which you can do surprisingly a lot of in this game, especially as an infernalist.
@@Landofalcon007 Lightning monk at low level sucks, ice monk is fine. Lightning is just too squishy and doesn't get very good damage options til charged staff and lightning wave. Best you got is flurry and bell, and those by themselves make bosses like Zalmarath a nightmare.
@@richardkim3652 Yeah that's the thing with melee. Early game is rough especially monk. It take a lot of willpower to want to stick with it til it starts feeling good.
@@Jamestismyname The thing is 99% of players want to have fun and not be stressed out so most players don't care about willpower because it's just a game for fun lol.
@@Jamestismynamemonk is definitely a class with a large skill gap. When someone really tries hard, it is one of the strongest classes, but it is terrible for the casual playstyle.
Don’t know what skills you were using, but it seems really tough to go full melee. I’m tempted to do war main, but I really think you need things like bow for the escape move and to plink at range when needed. (I typically mix dual wield and range with Str / Dex, not great options on that currently since I’m not a big fan of crossbow.)
Limitation? After getting all the +minion damage nodes in the tree (which you likely won't) and then all the +minion level and spirit on gears and the BiS alllies get % dmg and other allies get dmg (aspd/cspd, flat, etc) rolls on your sceptre, then there's not much more to do.
I play like 3-6 hours a day and have made all 6 characters with 4 of them already having ascendency points and only 2 of those in act 3 with 1 about to beat it. I have played every single day since launch. I am so baffled how so many people are past cruel and in maps already to the extent of being burnt out in it.
Can’t lie I messed up my monk build and deleted some stuff by accident. And it don’t help THAT NOTHING FALLS FOR MY DAMN CHARACTER …..I feel the same way
My Destiny wrapped showed 75% titan play, 6% warlock. I started poe2 on warrior and around level 45 decided to try sorceress. Just hit lvl 70 on sorceress and never lookin back.
Melee classes are tough in PoE2. Monk has a rough start and takes forever to get rolling. Around the end of Act 3, I finally got a unique item… and it was a bow. Later on, I hit a wall with Monk and decided to try Archer instead wow, it’s so much better!
didn't get a decent bow drop until lvl 25 or so, had to beat the trials way earlier with crap damaged, that's what made it interesting, decent gear makes it a breeze, on act 3 solo still only had one unique item a shield from lvl 20 days, i'm lvl 40, bows hardly drop for me or gear for the class, i've only had one rare bow
Don't worry Cross. I've been a Hunter main for my entire D2 career, started in Shadowkeep. To breathe some new life into the game for me, I started playing Titan. I haven't touched Hunter in almost a month.
Just wait til bro catches Ghazzy's current titan-minion build, he could flip his warrior into a summoner like the witch and have a much easier time of finding gear. You get the chonky survivability of the titan with the minion dps.
Hear me out.... listen, Linda. I play a "Necromancer" as a Titan Warrior with the Hulking Form Titan Passive. It reads, "50% increased effect of Small Passive Skills". So all of the small passives that read +% Minion Health and +% Minion Damage... they are all at 150% value. Strongest basic minions I could create!! Best of both worlds: TITAN and undead minion army.
Cross should play mercenary actually. It's almost like playing the Doom guy in the Doom franchise. Your crossbow pretty much acts like an assault rifle, shotgun, rocket launcher, mortar launcher, etc., and of course there are the grenades as well.
Dude I made a Warrior and planned on playing for 20 minutes, next thing you know it is 4 am! And I am already addicted to totem stomping and Warcry's, going Warbringer all the way!
Warrior in this game always feels like gambling. One minute your on top of the world smashing everything to bits, then you blink and your dead and dont even know why.
The always inevitable problem of designing a game to be punishing when hit, while having ranged and melee builds, is that ranged just has less chance to get hit in the first place.
The problem is he put himself in a corner for 0.5 seconds. No but realistically even without resistances he could have went for Mind of Mana to basically give him a 2nd life bar and get out of those situations. Or get resistances. Or just change up the build. But he does main Destiny 2, which isn't exactly a game with a ton of useable builds lol. Build battles have had the same subclass and loadouts several times now lol.
what i like about witch is....thes game like poe/elden ring are fking scary....playing solo sometimes gives me chills....having company of minions makes it lot better lol
im currently doing fully decked tier 14 and 15 maps on my invoker monk! I do have 75% res on everything but chaos. but can get 1 shot by random shit! But for the most part im ok
He's a Warlock main....the necro fixation proves it. One summons to shoot monsters the other summons to swing at monsters. His next step will be to make his flame circle to start healing him.... almost like a well of radiance of some kind, hmmm 😂😂
spoken like a true warlock main
I saw this video and that was literally my very first thought hahaha
with minions lol, still a warlock don't let him swing it lol
"Why do I like Necro classes so much"
Probably because it reminds him of Destiny 2 where he get's carried by others in GMs all the time :P

any news on when spectres may be coming?
What's a spectre? That the ability they said you get to revive mobs and use their exact copy?
@ yes
Try demon form infernalist witch if you want to go from one of the slowest to one of the fastest classes.
Try experimenting with the weapon set; you can manually change the weapon to instantly relocate the minion to your position without the respawn timer.
