Love the series so far! I haven't played halls myself, but some other bullet heavens. Have you tried scaling damage over defense in the beginning? Damage means you kill more, which means more experience. Move speed is also a better defense, because when you don't get hit it doesn't matter how much damage enemies do. Looking forward to the next videos!
@ExplosivePaddle3 күн бұрын
it's pretty hard early on to scale damage and attack speed high enough to completely carry. if we had a better healing item this might be a different case!

It's funny because so much of this is explained 1500x better than it was in POE1. There's still clearly work to do but this is significantly easier to approach for new players. You almost certainly wouldn't have made it to endgame at all as a new player to the previous game. All good continuing feedback though.

This is just what I meant when we were talking about the rules for this series, counting exiting out of a run as a death was a BRILLIANT choice in my opinion! I might just go with these exact same rules when I finally reset today/tomorrow :D EDIT: Oh, you mentioned before the death earlier in the video that voluntarily exiting a run counts as death.. but I guess you reversed on that idea, and gone back to only actual death counts?

@@ExplosivePaddle Ah, I see, I thought you played the same character that you died with on the run you forgot your items on, on the second run aswell. And slightly before that second run mentioning the rule that no exiting. So I thought you changed the rules on the fly, but in reality, I was not paying attention during the first run (multiple things to do), and didn't see you had Extinguisher. --------------------- R.I.P.

Is exiting out of a stage early considered cheating? If not I'd say get the wellkeeper, exit, then jump back in again for gear. Something else to add, I didn't start using auto-aim until I had like 50+ shards. I felt like aiming where I needed was crucial early game to break weak spots in walls of mobs to free myself from getting swarmed.

I actually found astro orbs(acts as summons) are insane when paired with cleric + summon minion rings + the regen ammy when having summons, then you go full defense with thorns gloves. About 6-10 minutes into a map i can literally go afk and make coffee. Oh and later on take the golem and spirit warriors aswell, thats 3 extra summons. And as many astro orbs as possible. You will just see a bunch of green numbers as you regenerate more than all the dmg they can throw at you. Might not work on 10+. But for me it's a great starter build to farm with.

I think sparks build is good, I play it with the electric curse and arc lightning but I dont take any shields on skill tree. I think lightning armor pen is relevant.

@Abken.Ай бұрын
Actually more helpful than beginner tips from other channels. Tips&Tricks videos are either coming from some "jouranlist" that has no idea what they are talking about, or from an experienced poe player with too advanced poe vocabulary who can't explain things for beginners very well. This video broke the formula! As a person who's never played poe or diablo games, poe2 is a bit overwhelming (I know it was already simplified a lot compared to poe1) - skill levels, gem requirements - attributes, gem levels, etc. It's all a big blur in my head. Looking forward to future videos explaining poe for newcomers because it's a lot to take in. I think GGG did a good job making the game accessible in the beginning, I'm having a lot of fun exploring all of the systems and UIs, but it's still a lot to take in.
