Very nice explained👍🏻

You get to keep going on the first trial until you pass it. If you fail get a new key from the dude. It's impossible to not pass the first trial. Unless you not got good :)

in poe1 the acendancies were reversable if you removed any pts taken in an acendancy and rechoose the acendancy you wanted at the end of a trial, can anyone confirm this is not the case in poe 2?

Solid vid, liked and subbed 👍🏼

I'm really liking this game. People who are struggling with difficulty need to look at their builds. Changing a handful of passive points or swapping some support gems around can make a radical difference. The game literally gives you feedback on how well your build is doing. If you are running out of mana, you haven't investing enough in mana regen or max mana. If you are too squishy you haven't invested enough in your defensive stats (armor, evasion, shield, shield regen). If you continually make bad gearing decisions, you can brick yourself, but that's because the stats on your gear actually matter. There is a hierarchy of important stats on gear and if you give up the important ones chasing slightly higher dps or something you will regret it later. My sorc still has a staff from like 20 levels lower because it has +3 to all spell levels on it. That more than makes up for some new staff that has slightly higher elemental damage. I still have my +10% move speed boots from like level 10 because I haven't seen that stat drop on any new boots. I was able to beat Rattlecage on a level 22 FIRE sorc and didn't even realize he was fire resistant until I saw this video (took me 3 tries). So the solution really is to Get Gud, but in this game that involves much more than just playing, it also involves gear, passive, and support gem selection.

"you only receive that look if you complete the trial" you can take the loot after you complete the round, but you will forfeit the rest of the trial

dog shit game

Thanks for the video.

Both trials are annoying as a warrior, in my opinion. The first one was easy, but having an honor system replacing my heath really throws out a lot of builds, alienating a lot of players. Then, the second trial, the cons outweigh the pros, like your telling me I need to dodge lighting every second so I can get a max dex/int boots, Im a warrior I need strength/armor/life, the incentive isnt there for me to wanting to do this but for the ascendancy points and that too is a maybe. Hopefully, they will fix this, so there's more reasons to chase these trials.

If you're using a controller, unbind any skills from the interaction slot (x on the xbox controller) otherwise, when you are doing the escape challenge, you won't be able to interact with the crystals if you have a group of monsters around you. Although I wanted to just get the trial done with for the ascendancy points, in retrospect it is a great farming opportunity because you have unlimited attempts and a high density of rare monsters plus you will find other relics scattered around to help you in further trials so if you're having a hard time with that first trial, don't think of it as failing, but getting more stuff.

Not the least but interested in dealing with their honor garbage. Not even there and an already completely uninterested and won't be touching it other than what had to be.... Which should be none. Why ruin a good thing with a garbage mechanic.... It's like devs just can't help themselves.

Thank you for this. I also found myself in act 3 before doing the trial. I tried to find the act 2 ascendancy start point and couldn't. Going back for it now.

Thanks man, especially for the tip about progrsssing too far and getting locked out.

I defeated Trial of the Sekhemas ... then found in loot another map/token to activate this trial again (not a quest item), which says "you will not get additional ascendancy points". Is there any reason whatsoever to do it again?

Nice video dude. Subscribed.

Honestly... Don't bother

You definitely lose the key if you try again. I lost a key because of it but it’s ok you can find them as you kill minions through random maps. Edit: I think they don’t drop until the final map in normal difficulty or in cruel mode.

lol you can break the pillars... ow well 😅nice video

Jep. Me and my poe-partner where running around after the fight of the chimera and searched for the next map....

I've already done this stuff and learned some lessons the hard way but this was well put together and really well explained especially for players new to PoE overall, you got my sub. Great work.

Is there a boss I have to fight that triggers the hooded one to get up off the ground in front of Una? I've been struggling for 3 days trying to kill bosses. None of the weapons/magic is strong enough. And at what level do the gems start dropping abundantly bc I'm level 15 and that's not my experience.

It was too much. They already have a cruel class starting out. It didn't need to be nerfed back to stupid.

Well done, I am literally about to start my first Trial...this will help a lot! And heck, great timing on one of our parts....you posting or me watching. lol

Cleared a few things up for me, and should make getting my next points easier. Thanks, boss!

Awesome clear guide ty here have my sub,

What do you guys think of these Trials? Preference for one vs the other?

The reason why they invented these Cast on X supports was to free people from cast on crit and cast on channel. But hey, our fault for experimenting too much

love your content bro keep it up !

DEVS SUX!! PATCH SUX SORC IS DEAD BAD GAME BAD BALANCE

If they don’t give a respec i’m gonna be mad forever

just respecct into a fire build with my witch to go demon form firecaster an went cast on ignite comet.... now i cant even built up ignite with detonate dead 1200dps count... Firespells are so useless right now that the ignites no longer count

Shouldn't they buff fire when they nerf frost? I have been looking online for a fire build for sorc, but I couldnt find anything.

sorcerer need to stop crying us warriors have no dmg still after they fixed your ability

Killing a skill isn’t balancing. They lowered it way too far

I'm not playing a sorcerer but I've played 3 other classes and a variety of builds and the old automated sorcerer was way out of line in terms of power compared to all the other builds. With this change, the build now looks strong but not OP

I just got comet spell :(

I start enjoying poe2 fir time yesterday, when respec my fcking caster-gameplay bloodmage to trigger-meta gems with comet, after few hours of playing and have fun(i've played 64h already) they fucking kill my build. amazing expirience in this beta, I regret I spend money on this after patch. killing everything that gives you fun is so "GGG-like" move

Free Respecs or people will stop playing not everyone is a streamer and can play video games all day to change their build every hotfix

Yea they do need to offer some sort of free respec. The build is kind of destroyed. I may not even play my sorc now because that’s what my build was. My warrior however with sunder and upheaval is still demolishing everything way worse then my sorc ever did. 1 button and everything is gone.

just got my complete setup yesterday, and now its nerfed ... what a bummer.

GGG we wqant you to experiment and try different builds and this is how we think is fun, the core of the game will be refarming gold on Act 1 until you get enogh gold to respec.

Im a Chronomancer any ideas for a different build, the frost wall ist pretty good dps but the only setup I found was with fireball and heavy crit chance gear so idk

You know they want to make every power matter however their bosses says something different, Their overly powerful boss fights force players to look up the meta and go with it because in most cases it's only way you're going to progress any you go at some of these bosses and lose and voice your complaint all I hear is your build is screwed up. If all powers matter then build should not matter but it does. They need to nerf their bosses so all skills matter.

They 1000% need to make the respec cost exaclty 0 gold not 1 - 2 - 300 or 400000. ZERO. You cant get an excuse because the game is early access and stuff are meant to be tested and balance but you cant apply the same for gold respec. This is BS. Make the respec free till the end of the early access. Then when the game is more balanced return the gold respec. I dont know whats up with devs not wanting us to respec. I am boggled with this. NO i am not going to make 20 characters to test things. I will make 1 or 2 then if i cant respec i wont play till the next season or whatever. Why not give me the incetive to play MORE and as i play more i will PAY more in the shop... Really dont get it.

Warranted nerf. Self cast should be much stronger but jts not.

This gem now useless. They should nerf phys damage first as well as evasion, you always get hit with your energy shield, and usually it will take from 40 to 80 percent of shield, same time evasionists and armorers just facetank every monster and do massive damage by scaling it feom weapons. Casters - no, you should suffer.

If they don't fix this somewhere in the middle, i'm personally not coming back in the game. Period.

nerf a pve game stupid

Couldnt they just give it a 1 second cooldown or something

finally got to where i could get comet then its nerfed to ground lol..... poe2 uninstalled
