I had a thought that you could turn Sanguimancy into a node like Ascendant where it has 3 options. 1) splits cost between mana and life (50% each), but mana regen contributes to life regen as well (at a percent). 2) splits costs between ES and Life (50% each) and removes mana , but ES recharge rate contributes to life regen (at a percent). 3) like Blood Magic but with more powerful leech and no life regen outside of flasks. This would make it more interesting, give more player agency, and diversify builds and ascendancy nodes taken.

i thought that they could make the Sanguinomancy node in some type of passive when you ascend, and them you can choice what nodes you wanna to get first

[@jonathangrimes8975]

They just need to make it 50/50 and that would fix the issue most likely. Blood mage would still need reworked tho, because sanguimancy is required, and the leech node is also required due to sanguimancy , which really only gives you 2 options for ascendancy

[@revenantmuffin4730]

@@jonathangrimes8975 This is why I tried to suggest options that fold them together so you can get everything form 1 passive and gain more freedom of choice. They can easily create a new passive to replace the current Life Leech node with something that feels like more of a choice.

[@jonathangrimes8975]

@revenantmuffin4730 yeah even if they just replaced it with %life that would be good for me, and go along with the life stacking / regen theme, and it'd be optional if you wanted to focus right side over left. Bleeding and damage over time also needs a bunch of support because rn that portion is completely unviable

I really feel like Ziz and the rest of the streamers should be calling attention to the number of crashes people are having. I can’t even play for fear that it’s going to kill my pc.

[@sweinvestidor]

removing the one or two CPU affinity from the PoE 2 process worked for me

[@davidcmcclendon]

9:53 I’m using Chronomancer, and I use the slow passive as well as blasphemy and temporal mastering. This combined with the cursed enemies are hindered part of the tree and 30% damage to hindered enemies is amazing for four second combos. I have the notable that lets me have two curses at one time and I also use the lightning curse as well.

Love this format, just chill chat while playing

[@Exzeph]

haha he was prophetic with his call out on freeze nerf

[@prosaic4195]

As a blood mage that can spam 1 shot clear and melt bosses without ever needing flasks. I agree with this title.

[@DendailWanderer]

Any tips? Been trying a lot of stuff but been struggling with damage

[@25xxfrostxx]

Looks like they're nerfing arsonists. Unfortunately those of us that don't have 343 spirit with a dozen of them up are going to be much harder hit with the increased cost.

[@pmart437]

please make these longer. I need more shit to listen to as I farm things myself :)

[@815TypeSirius]

Blood mage melee is fun. Your all missing out.

[@randomhero6365]

I've been playing goratha's build and it's pretty good. Keeps getting nerfed every patch though. Blood mage is already extremely underwhelming then they hit cof and now they are hitting freeze build up. The frost wall is crazy busted you can corner mobs and they just completely break and never hit you so I get the nerfs in a way I guess

[@tannergeske4775]

What's CI mean?

[@the7thsamurai676]

Chaos inoculation , hp set to 1hp but you're immune to chaos damage.

[@shaunybravo]

What loot filter do you use ??

[@randomhero6365]

He made the first one he was using on warrior. Idk if he's still using the same one but changed it for infernal

[@Malum95]

The skill tree is just obviously worse. Looking at minions for example, there's basicaly just damage resist and life, no "minion chance to bleed" or quirky stuff, there's one crit wheel for them I think? very very bland, there's other examples for other builds too but damn
