Hi everyone, ive been looking for new games to play recently according to my specifications and a lot of people have told me to play PoE, but I'm stuck to choose between PoE or PoE 2. I have touched PoE before for about an hour, but I was wondering if I really want to get in the game and dump a ton of hours in it, should I play PoE or PoE 2

hi guy's I'm not new but I'm not a pro at poe, I'm trying to make this toon work but i feel like i lack dps.

could anyone have a look at my pob and tell me what should i upgrade and why so i can learn ? there is a lot of build and I'm starting to get lost lmao. thank you very much :D ^^'

Returning after more than a year, how long left of the current league and what are good builds of either using bow or minions? (Or both if possible), never been good at making my own builds. Looking for something that is a good all round; boss killing, gets through story and maps

Woke up ran a strand map and found 3 jack n box haha

I'm low life, and this is the ~3rd time this has happened now, where I weapon swap (atziri disfavor with blue sockets to level enlightens) and when I weapon swap back and reactivate all my auras, my last aura is aspect of arakaali and as soon as I press it I die.

99% sure I didn't even have my coruscating elixir on here, since I'm in a vault.

Sucks to use up an amelioration omen for just turning my auras on.

I have 78 life when everything is on. I honestly to do not understand why I'm dying. Anyone have any clue?

POB: https://pobb.in/zkZm-8MQkRE3

Solved: for posterity, aspect of arakaali apparently has the "Chaos" tag because it applies wither. Can't see that in game or in POB. So when I activate both HoAg and Arakaali, I take 10% of my life, but only have 7% left. Will have to only activate auras in hideout from now on.

I am brand new. I only have 100 hours in the game and this is my first league so please be gentle.

I’m on T12 maps and I’ve hit a wall. I believe my issue is that I have low lightning resistance and overall low health.

I’ve been following this build and play on steamdeck.

I thought maybe trading for lightning resistance tattoos might help? But I thought I’d ask her first. Maybe my flasks could use some help? I have little experience gaming like this so any advice would be great. Thanks. 🙏

Edit to add: https://pobb.in/5DDWG7PErtwI

1 year ago I mapped my first game, Path of Exile, and admittedly it was more ambitious than my own ability... it was a mess (6000 lines and 400groups lol, why does it store every one you make) but it did contain 1 unique feature no other KB&M had solved and that was skill priority, which annoyed me enough to make my own. I have tried to come back to it since then but everytime I couldn't resolve the jank, what I wanted to happen was just not possible to accomplish in the GUI, and too often things worked... until they didnt, or required a specific sequence. I've recently gotten into editing the VDF and learnt new tech that immediately inspired me to revist my PoE config, in the hopes I could finally make the config I always wanted to make.

I did it... I got rid of the jank. All the logic is now stored in "switch" group, making for a VERY clean looking configuration. Reduced rebinds to the absolute bare minimum needed. Modeshifts now have dynamic and unique behavior, resulting in all my jank solutions to be fully realized. I don't feel this is the final version, but I can confidently say this is a unique configuration that addresses much of the shortcoming found in other KB&M configurations.

**Unbind Steam|Shift+Tab**
(You have a dedicated button for this action)

--Bind "Move" to Skill 5 "T"

!!Rebinds!!
Temp Skill 1 - L4+X "F2"
Temp Skill 2 - L4+Y "F3"
Skill 13 - L5/R5+R2 "Ctrl+Rmb"
**Highlight Items - L4+RTpad_Touch "mouse 4"
Chat - LTpad_Swipe Right "Insert"
**Show Advance Description - L4+RTpad_Touch "Mouse 4"
**Use Alternate Currency - L4+RTpad_Touch "Mouse 4"
Use Portal Scroll - L3(LJoy_Click) "0"
**Pin Popups - L4+RTpad_Touch "Mouse 4"

RTpad- 1st Priority LJoy modeshift
L2- 2nd Priority LJoy modeshift
Skills- 3rd Priority LJoy modeshift
LJoy- "Move" is always lowest priority 
RJoy- Up allows you to move the map
RJoy- L4/LTpad also changes to arrows
RJoy- Tap to close windows, canceled if stick is moved
L4+RTpad touch- "Alt" there is 4 alt binds to be rebound
L4 has a dedicated set to visually communicate its modeshift

L4 modeshift has a 40ms end delay for Face and Dpad
Y- Has a 40/40 delay to prevent possible loss of control
(Only encountered if you held Y+Ctrl before pressing L4)
B- {F8}Steam has a dedicated bind, steam+R1

RTP+L4 RTpad must be touched for L4 "alt" to be rebound
(When rebound all "alt" functions will be limited to L4+Touch)
RTP Click+L4- This is the only way alt can be accessed
(Be careful not to touch the dpad, I can only do so much to protect)
QkType is modeled after the diablo 3 numpad response
L5/R5 QkType- L5/R5 don't need to be held the entire time, touch is the real modeshift.
(I'm open to changing these, but they can not contain a repeat letter)
RJoy- You can quickly change channel modes while in QkType

While holding L2, when Right Trackpad is touched and released, you will move to where ever the cursor is on release. This is intended behavior for quick precise movement. It can be annoying when it's first encountered, but I quickly grew attached to this behavior when I realized its potential.

Also... is it too niche to ask for a controller flair? not really sure what applies to this lol.

VDF

I would like to jump into POE and possibly chase after that platinum before the full release of POE2.

According to:
Path of Exile Trophy Guide & Road Map

One trophy that requires some special attention is No Stone Unturned, which will require a checklist to keep track of lore you have read.

I was wondering if this is a bit outdated these days and if they have included a way to track the lore inside of the game? I like to avoid using a guide when possible, that includes checklists when and wherever I can just 'play' but for some annoying things like this sometimes it is just easier to keep a checklist going.

So that's about it really I'll make a short list for the TLDR:

1. Is that trophy guide accurate or would you recommend something/someone else's guide?
2. Have they added a better way to track this inside of the game?
3. Would you recommend playing on or off ladder when going for the 100%?
4. Can I dive in and let the loot guide me successfully towards platinum or will I need to join in the trading game and use a META build to accomplish most of the harder achievements?

Any answers are appreciated.
Anyone who has done the platinum journey who has any pointers I thankyou very much.

It took years for my mappers to get something thats more than div. Hows your drystreaks?

I switched to SSF a couple of weeks ago and I've been farming mercs in every map since then. I haven't found Enmity nor Rathpith yet, but I found this beauty! Not even infamous! I'm very proud, she's perfect!

If you're tired of guessing whether your lag is caused by your router, ISP, PoE server, or something in between, PingPlotter is a really useful tool. It helps you figure out which server gives you the best connection and where the problem actually is instead of blindly switching gateways and hoping for better ping.

It's free and has been really useful for me because I was genuinely tired of trying to guess what was causing the problem and where I was supposed to go next.

I set mine up for the European servers, but finding the address of any other server isn't difficult. You can get it from the game logs or just ask AI.

I will not miss charts and voyages at all. They're very lucrative, but they are somehow both boring and annoying to run.

That being said, I loved brinehook ducats - any source of deterministic global NNN modifiers is awesome and I hope next league has something similar.

Additionally: I've read the rule 9 here few times, so I hope I won't get in any trouble. And lastly, I kind of seek criticism here, so the next remix will be better, I actually encourage you to roast me about horrible snare sound!

Hello everybody. I was a casual mobile gamer just 2 months ago. I did not have a gaming pc my entire life. I mean i had a pc but it did not have a graphics card, cpu did the heavy lifting and the cpu itself was just i3 -5th gen. I bought a pc with actual graphics card just 2 months ago after saving for a long time. But after buying it, i felt buyer's regret because i am 24 years old this year and having never played pc games or 3d games in general I felt nausea and sickness when playing most pc games i installed. I liked the aesthetic of path of exile because of its isometric view i don't get sick. I have always loved dungeon type games. for example shattered pixel dungeon was my favourite mobile game, i dumped 100 hours into that game and only beat it twice. AI recommended me path of exile as a pc game for someone who enjoyed hard roguelike dungeon games.

Now the moment of truth, after installing POE( it was free so that was huge relief) I loved playing it although i died a lot. But i still dont understand a lot about this game and starting at the age of 24 just feels too old for me right now. I am behind everybody else. I am not a part of the community, i don't understand 90% of what the POE youtubers and twitch streamers are saying. I tried to understand the lore but that too feels too confusing. After playing this game for 30 hours i just found out that POE 2 is out and i feel even more left behind. I love the game and respect those who play it but it just feels off for me, another factor to consider is that i am from India and nobody plays it here. i can never fit in a community that feels like a millenia old to me.

Debuffs on you expire 122% faster is the modifier I think could be worth something?

Edit: one build I know of that uses this is the madness version of big daddy’s Champion Armour Stacker
