absolute goat this league

[@jdodge80]

appreciate the format of the video. Better than a content creator watching a video and pausing it.

[@TickerSymbolYOU]

Wow, thanks for organizing all of these! Super helpful. 6 days until we LOGIN

[@czarsquid855]

I love the customization to skills with selectable nodes which directly effect the gem slot colors. But also, removing life/mana from the skill tree I think helps balance the game and makes gear more valuable. Small changes that will go a long way

[@toukoenriaze9870]

instead of having ballance around a t100 player while a t1 player exists they can now ballance a t10 player while a t1 exists

[@noblehelium3794]

Finally, elemental damage penetration makes sense. It makes zero sense that you can penetrate resistances that don't exist, and it meant that penetration was always better than -resistance. And skills shotgunning by default is also a great change. Game mechanics should be intuitive whenever possible.

[@BlurredVision18]

13:00 low life high ES is balanced around Chaos no longer penetrates ES to drain life, instead it does double it's damage to ES. It's your Caster's Chaos mitigation, which sounds great to scale cause Chaos dmg was always a big weakness to my caster builds. Also, "melee" (and proj I guess) having the only generic Leech options make sense, as they are in the thick of battle actively taking damage relying on Armor. Resist, and Convert, Caster's should be avoiding damage yet have a little bit of survivability for mistakes, like ES, and Dex/Range can dip a bit into a combo relying on Evasion/MoM Leech/ES. Non of this seems alarming, it seems to me to be very healthy for the game. Additionally having an option to be an Outlier in each area is staple PoE. Edit 2: Minions are well supported and gonna be very solid. I feel like this entire video is you comparing this with the power level of current PoE, of course everything feels less powerful, that's the point, to reset the power creep and balance the game. But because of this distinction you are telling everyone to "be worried", "you better do this cause it's safe", "don't try this until someone else figures it out for you". Kinda lame.

[@jadolow_]

23:00 isn't block capped at 75% in poe2?

[@kliersheed]

1. uniques (may increase to 100% but you dont completely block the hit e.g. like 20% damage taken even when blocked) 2. it might take the uncapped value for damage conversion anway

[@LazyExile]

Dreamcore is the goat! Btw, Pal, thanks for reassuring the life vs energy shield debacle. I agree with most of the points. Energy shield can't be that obviously better than life & armor/evasion! Unless GGG forgot about the endgame, of course

[@gameross369]

I think the fire resist notables are mainly for Infernalist.

[@Kvodan]

Im curious about Monk Insta-Mana-Leech, if we have those we should have some mana leech sources. A bit scarring to jump into archetype before make shure everything matches.

[@LionKing-qp1lk]

мусор, кроме маналича на подклассе нет ничего полезного

[@Diehardgamer2001]

Theres base leech sources on gear and a support gem, and %scaling for leech on the tree but no sources. Seems like it will be mostly gear dependent.

[@Kvodan]

@Diehardgamer2001 thx for responding dude.

[@thegrassnerd2040]

Remember also it is (attack) leech, not spell leech

[@MESIRlX]

Honestly wanted to play deadeye crossbow, but god is there so much energy shield support on the tree and in the gems...

[@msi1985]

I wonder what the chances of the dev's changing the ability to re-spec ascendancies might be down the road? I predict LOT of people that are new to this type game type might be very put off having to spend spend the time to redo the entire campaign with the same class / having the same experience just to pick different ascendancy options. The dev's have made so many other improvements in terms of making sure the player has better advocacy over their character, but this one seems to diverge from that path. Its for this reason that I hope they really offer a demo / showcase option for each ascendancy option, so that players can make informed decisions over what option they are taking especially if it remains as is, holding such permanence!

[@circaen]

On the community passive tree there is another ES node that just seems so wild given what we know about energy shield. It is a new Eternal Youth node. Life Recharges instead of Energy Shield. Life Recovery from Flasks Applies to Energy Shield Instead. Also your commentary on how there are some must get crossbow passives, I feel may end up applying to a lot of the classes. There are some really no brainer passives on the tree for many archetypes. Maybe their way of easing newer players into certain directions.

[@MrF00tie]

There is quite the downside for this: Chaos damage (flat + degens) bypassing ES and at the same time preventing the recharge of life.

[@circaen]

@@MrF00tie Chaos damage does not bypass ES in POE 2. It does double damage.

[@kelossus1885]

@@MrF00tie That node enables life flasks for CI which is honestly super good

[@astronemir]

They just removed eldritch battery lol 😂. Okay 👍. It’s a beta so expect changes and don’t hardcore plan your build as much as you would in PoE1. Gotta roll with the changes.

[@bojanstefanovic2517]

6 days not 7, the hype is off the charts

[@titanicjack6744]

Is Ghost Reaver is on the notables list posted on POE2db on 30/11

[@Rimasleovivaldis]

CI+Eternal youth(flask apply to ES) and go as pathfinder with flask recovery rate to solve ES regen part. poison seem to be compatable with int stacking and with discipline your 35% mana converted to ES

[@Diehardgamer2001]

Hey can you break down the poison int scaling compatability me?

[@Rimasleovivaldis]

@@Diehardgamer2001 there is Bursting Plague that add up to 10% of target hp to extra chaos dmg/s. Deadly Poison lower hit dmg by 20% but add 75% more poison dmg. Decaying Hex dealing 30% of Intelligence as Chaos damage per second as long as enemy cursed. also you can shotgun with poison concoction to apply 2-3 stacks on non poison enemy for 60% more dmg for poison. if they all can work together you have pretty chonky poison stack every few sec while you focus on dodging boss abilities

[@Rimasleovivaldis]

blaspmy with temp chains will make enemies always cursed and take increased poison dmg. If they don't change whispering doom you can add enfeeble for lowering enemy dmg or dispair curse for even more dmg with blasphemy

[@rm-ra8317]

Shouldn’t the max fire resistant good by itself? Uncapped(not over cap)resistance counts the total fire resis, so that’s easy 80 to 120 resis = 4 to 6 max resistance?

[@ivalar8891]

It's good if you look at it as a standalone node. But you should consider pathing (including small nodes before the notable). And other options like a notable "25% of Armour also applies to Fire Damage taken from Hits". Max fire res should be must have for RF (will be released later on within Templar skill package), % armour should be better for any other armour stacking build (unless endgame is occupied by fire dot). Both at the same time look like overkill.

[@valderhide1674]

Well. I was thinking about going with minions. But the Wow Titans Grip Fury Warrior in me is just screaming Giants Blood now

[@PharCry]

Would be useful if they just have a view of class ascendancies at character select, guess we'll see very soon

[@WilE1337_]

I need POB for poe 2 now!

[@Mugi-v7w]

That's why I'm making a physical damage acolyte of chayula 👍

[@bertmollar]

I might be dreaming but didn't I see a support gem that gave ES bonus of some kind edit: check out energy barrier support. Seems insane tbh

[@scire105]

Something i haven's see enough people talk about, the ES nodes look strong, but remember that int no longer does anything for ES, that's a lot less ES than we are used in poe1, so imo the powerfull nodes only make up for the lack of ES from int.

[@johnamparan]

The thing about that is that unless you were int stacking, you probably aren't going over 250-300 int. That's only ~50-60% es. Most es NOTABLES in poe 1 are under 15% es. From a quick runthrough of the skill tree, the highest notable is only 18% es. That's a THIRD of patient barrier. Unless something is very wonky with numbers somewhere, es will be MUCH stronger than life.

[@BlurredVision18]

Chaos Damage also doesn't bypass ES, instead it does twice as much damage to ES than Life.

[@divinityai]

@@johnamparan but you lose armor and evasion, so you lose mitigation. Idk if I prefer having 5k life + 40k armor to having 12k es without any defences and flask to heal and way to sort ailments etc. Especially early. Probably also hybrid bases like ES/Evasion or ES/Armor don't even exist, so you would pick one, more raw hp (ES) or more mitigation.

[@Conqueror933]

All projectiles shotgun? 100 Proj Rain of Arrows wants to know your location.

[@keonj]

Minion defenses are needed because they die FAST and often

[@quantumdot7393]

Based video. i was thinking about the same stuff others are ignoring in favor of just hype.

[@derekserfas7250]

Bring on grasping vines, hinder, main, stun, freeze, burning ground, chill. Wtf

[@astronemir]

Where is the Eldritch Battery change?

[@mpoe-t2i]

There's no ES benefit from Intelligence any more, which did exist in PoE 1. I consider the massive ES % on the tree as compensation for that

[@TheSilverwing999]

The point is that life/armour has nowhere near this scaling and evasion/dex side is just godawful. You have to look at things in comparison to each other

[@matt-r7d]

do we know the skill point cap yet

[@nobodyp3546]

With support gems being restricted to one gem, you cant actually set blasphemy up with 2 curses i think. (unless i missed something)

[@esaesaeesaesa]

Blasphemy is a buff skill now instead of a support gem. It even says on the gem: "Combines all socketed Curse skills into a vile Aura, applying their effects to all nearby enemies.". Either way, I've a feeling that they're going to change the spirit cost, especially now since they removed EB from the game.

[@sengson4th]

dual wield staff? +10 skill gem. bonkers

[@Roonike]

100% that leech will be available through gear, i mean we saw on the giant's blood teaser that the two-handed mace had 3.45% leech of phys damage as mana

[@kliersheed]

phys, yeah. that has always been a thing, but what about spells? spell damage leeched as: - life - energy shield - mana melee and phys damage builds (like archer) wont have problems with leech, im sure, just like in POE1, but how will the spell and minion builds end up? we gonna have to do sanctum no hit runs to trigger ES recovery in early game? (lategame we prob still have the leech corruption implicits or smth).

[@kevinkelly1755]

I was really looking forward to POE2 until I found out there will NOT be any swords for the foreseeable future. My sword and board fantasy is null and void :(

[@MorningNapalm85]

Dat sponsored segway tho. Fire. lol.

[@G3RCSI]

Because of the Time Lost Jewels, jewel paths are almost mandatory now.

[@Melpheos1er]

Localidentity has some more work to do now :p

[@Polyneus]

Is there like, nothing, for minions ?

[@BlurredVision18]

Minions have insane support and are gonna be very strong.

[@meke7777]

Well it was kind of obvious EB/MoM was going to be broken, because of how much energy shield (mana) you can get. Everyone and their dog was going to play mana stacker.

[@arplee4823]

From my understanding Eldritch battery has been removed and no longer is a notable

[@meke7777]

@@arplee4823 Yeah, because it was going to be busted. That's the whole point of my comment. I don't know what is Palsteron's source tho, didn't find it by googling.
