As a new player to POE, endgame is the worst experience in gaming ever
|
people here realize that OP posted on feedback right? he liked the game enough to hit 88 and those things he mention is valid. whats with "if you want easy game go somewhere else" you aint making the game better with that respond.

high evasion dose not really mean anything (unless it has been completely changed) the problem with it has been that you WILL get hit eventually and that hit generally has nothing to mitigate it, and as a new player you don't really know the mechanics behind a lot of the stuff (map mods, monster mods even monster type) that can brew the perfect storm and kill much better defended characters.

Hello fellow exile,
I think you are probably feeling a lot of frustration that I have seen in friends trying POE for the first time. And its the exact same thing that exists in POE 1. Making strong builds requires a lot of experimentation and game knowledge. You can either leverage others' deep experience or build your own. POE 1 and 2 doesn't just fall over to anyone's first idea. You kept pushing at the game over and over expecting different results. Your build is not good enough for T12+ maps. I have built multiple characters with no online help using years of POE experience for T16+ POE 2 content. This would have taken a lot longer without experience with the way GGG designs games. I have respeced these characters daily, moving passives around or reprioritizing gear stats. I'm sure I'm still far from optimized. For me and many others this is fun. Trying things out, failing, trying something new, failing again, until you finally solve the equation for that transcendent feeling. If you want to play without online guides you have to study game mechanics and rework your build. IMO it's worth it. Suggestions: 1) 56% evasion is VERY LOW. The difference between 56% and 78% evasion is receiving DOUBLE damage. Acrobatics is a spicy add for elemental and chaos hits but it comes at a very high cost. You would need other defensive layers. 2) Magic find. Generally I would suggest you have ZERO magic find, especially if you are working out a build. It is a luxury in POE once you already clear everything with ease. It is always better to clear faster with less risk than to build any magic find. 3) You are doing great! No reason to compare yourself to streamers or POE degens. It might take a while to get through to T16s, and level 100 is not a great goal for new players to POE. Regards, Jtux |
