[@BoomstickGaming]

*WHAT CLASS ARE YOU ALL PLAYING?!* -BoomstickAlex

[@GamersGuild777]

Lightning build deadeye ranger

[@duffyboy1986]

Warrior. I hope you post your build.

[@RaxDK]

Armor break witch hunter

[@HowellDiesel]

There's only one option, brother. Warrior.

[@BaconDrive]

Pathfinder because Im masochistic

[@gpkai]

Ive seen people talk about breaking down gear with sockets, but your the only person that I came across that mentioned "quality" specifically, thanks lol.

[@NotSoFast71]

Same. I was just coming here to say the same thing.

[@TheRaienryuu]

Rurikhan mentioned it a few days ago in his video about disenchant, salvage etc. But he's much smaller than this Channel

[@ragragrec1]

Thanks yep great tip

[@geoffreymatheson9206]

4000 hour PoE1 vet who plays SSF pretty much exclusively and my dumb ass didn't think to do this either.

[@epruno3583]

Figured this out randomly by having a quality item the first time I messed with the salvage bench. Honestly wouldn't know otherwise.

[@WillieSlackmer]

As someone new to Poe, this was extremely helpful.

[@WolfsToob]

As someone not new to PoE, this was extremely helpful! :)

[@philippos5547]

Agreed, helpful video!

[@badger297]

Huge shout out to you for including how to find that menu on controller!

[@Luke973T]

This

[@LarryLooseman]

BIIIIIIIIG time

[@Nayr090]

On locking skills to weapon sets. If you're a Mercenary and happen to have two good crossbows, you can "pre-load" each crossbow with an ammo type. I find this much smoother than switching ammo types with one crossbow, especially mid-combat. Cheers!

[@sandroxino]

Never thought of that, could be useful, spec into freeze with one skill tree and full damage with the other

[@wtfronsson]

Put Blink on the secondary weapon set while you are at it. So your "alternate mode" now has an amazing mobility option.

[@semyonboyk0]

Hedgehog tip was the best. Warrior ftw!

[@matthew1840]

Hey dude, just wanna say, this has been on of best POE2 tip videos I've watched. You went into detail about useful mechanics, showed great footage, and brought some quality humor into it. Hope you feel better!

[@opportunitynox3708]

Quailty items will always say "Superior"

[@sverd3901]

This.

[@willdall4]

I've left so many superior white things on the floor 😢

[@PANCAKEPAP1]

Wow, seriously?? I've left so many on the floor smh

[@TheJimcarrot]

Thank you

[@glenn6284]

Question sir, i am new but i made a yellow item with no quality with like 6% quality from 0. Do i jist drop that item and craft on a item with already a 5% quality? Because it will scale more or?

[@Matsuhide114]

Salvaging quality items purchased from NPCS and the weapon swap skill use were the 2 things I did not consider. Thanks; that gave me the clarity I needed to use crossbow for my secondary :D.

[@dencsyy]

Thanks for the hedgehog fact

[@g.belanger8302]

I’ve gotten more value out of this video than any other POE2 video so far. Excellent content!

[@FatalKitsune]

This channel is extremely underrated. This guide is really well put together and contains some nice info for a PoE newbie like me.

[@Poetologist]

with the passive skill gem you can also untick the box in the bottom left, which is "only show recommended" - this way you immediately see ALL compatible skill gems with the selected skill. :)

[@marcushellerhansen8441]

I haven't used the salvage bench much, and so are some of these tips really helpful to smooth out my time fighting and upgrading

[@theafrocain9203]

Sir finally someone who is making a video for new players. The quality thing I knew it could upgrade gears but I didn’t know how to get them. Among all the videos I’ve watched since the game came out you are the only one who explained. Thank you!!!!

[@Aliens1337]

Fun end game tip: You can gamble for 4 or 5 socket gem with Vaal orb. One of the possible outcomes is +1 socket to skill gem. This might be cheaper than trying though Jeweler's orbs. Just remember that its not guaranteed.

[@Vanhal11]

This is quite possibly the best "basic tips for a game" video i ever seen, i didn't know most of that, thanks.

[@BwAaS]

Really great info here. As a new POE player I'm typically totally lost, so most every tip here will help me out. Ty sir

[@kevineldred5725]

That top about automatically switching weapon sets for certain skills is gold.

[@XeromusPrime]

Best tips video I've seen thus far!

[@duffyboy1986]

For real though

[@Excllx]

Thank you! As a new brand new PoE player this was so useful to me

[@Jak0vas]

Lol I had no idea what you could breakdown on the bench, thanks for this.

[@garyscriven1752]

The information and presentation in this video is one of the best I've seen. Thank you so much!

[@goldlick7138]

went warrior and still enjoying every sec of pain and sweat

[@xkollx]

Right there with you brother. At act 2 final boos atm and it’s tough. Loving it though!!!

[@4b0d3]

These were actually helpful.. which is wonderfully refreshing. It's not click bait of painfully obvious stuff. Lvl 30 and the idea of buying/picking up socket/quality items just to salvage didn't occur to me.

[@Psmeijers]

Great actual tips that are not just tutorial reminders!

[@alvo621]

That hedgehog tidbit earned you my sub. Great vid, succint and detailed especially between KBM and pad inputs.

[@sebastian7104]

I could seriously listen to you chat about games all day, you're the best!

[@WJAMSoares]

Usually when I see this type of video I only learn 1, maybe 2 new things, since I never played PoE1 almost all the tips were new to me, tyvm.

[@Schabernackler_MH]

QUALITY! Content. Good work. Personaly I knew of almost all of the tips. But I didn't know of the hedgehogs. This will change my game experience forever. Thank you.

[@PierreChe]

Great vid! Proper tips without spoilers or making you feel like your discovery of the game is lessened! Loved it! thx

[@AleBingg]

I am new playing this game and this was the most helpful video I've seen! Thank you!

[@avielcherno1010]

I was looking for a video exactly like that and you sir, managed to do that while being sick. Thank you so much

[@MaSTARMedia]

Super helpful video, thanks!

[@JacoNotorious]

This was content dense and really taught me several important things. Never played POE1 so thank you!

[@AnNguyen-us9bt]

First 2 pieces of advice and I'm already mindblown 🤯

[@FabzP96]

Great video and extremely useful tips! Thank you 🙏🏼

[@Custodian4815]

With 560 hrs in POE I considered myself a veteran going into POE2 only to find myself surprised by how much value this tip video provided. Thanks King.

[@zip0ws67]

Great video! Been trying to find stuff like this and some of the other guides haven't been as concise as yours. I've been trying to play as pathfinder poison archer with some necromancy for the chaos skills, but I've been struggling alot with survivability. I may have to reallocate the poison buffs to flask charges sadly, but it's a work in progress. Would love to see a video that goes more in depth about the "skill forest" even tho it might be impossible to fully cover at this stage, I think me and alot of people would benefit from seeing the practical applications of some perks (i.e don't always go for damage try to spec more into defense perks etc). Till the next vid!

[@WhitieWu]

Now THIS was a helpful video. Also, I appreciate that there weren't any spoilers. Thank you!

[@Madchimpz]

The dev recommended support gems royally screwed me over, it took me way too long to realize you can choose any you want. Ruined my warrior run. Also what the hell, you can have an almost entirely different skill tree for your secondary weapon? That's insane. This game is insanely complex to the point it's overwhelming. But I also have to acknowledge that playing with a controller is the reason why I did not find out a lot of these things myself, due to the menus looking different, or not being able to hover the mouse over things like the secondary weapon skill tree to see what that was about. I really hope there's an update soon that gives the seamless transition between controller for gameplay and mouse for menu management, as I'm definitely not giving up controller because it makes combat so much better. Anyway, this is probably the best PoE 2 tips video I've seen so well done.

[@linemat7887]

devs don't even recommend "increased effect of curse" support on some curses. This system definitely needs some polish

[@krylassa]

"Ruined my warrior run" Icant

[@montega2157]

Best Beginner Guide I watched. Thanks a ton.

[@hagen9027]

Some things were huge tips for me, thanks!

[@shawnc4240]

thank you so much for this! I am a frost witch, and i struggle with DPS but this is going to help me figure stuff out!

[@steviesbadtv]

Thanks for the tips Alex. I’m just a first time noob. And didn’t know any of this. Still found my way through act 2 but struggled severely. I appreciate the tips…🫡🤷🏻‍♂️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@RaidenKhan]

The detail about the hedgehog & the ecosystem is literally the coolest fact I have been told about Path of Exile 2! awesome video.

[@QuantumLightOne]

Kick ass channel. Your pc gamers pop outs instantly earned you a new sub 😂

[@GiftingStray]

Me playing Witch and tunneling into occult: "What's a jump skill?"

[@JerichoKa]

I play witch and literally used a mace in my second weapon slot just to use a jump skill and avoid traps during the trials.

[@TheSpiritOfTheWest]

Probably the best guide on helpful things. And he isn’t talking like a freight train too

[@Mercuie]

Oh man this was helpful! As a new player to PoE in general it's hard to find info that understands that not everyone has played PoE.

[@geforcy]

Thnx!! Very helpful!! Especially the quality thing and the dual weapon skill tree. I am playing a monk lvl 24 and never played poe before. I do get the hang of it.

[@adammorra3813]

Dude thsi is very helpful please do more videos like this, love you. Hope you feel better.

[@twinlinkedstudio]

That thumbnail made me think Xur was in game on Fridays with his wears

[@teamshesh]

Same

[@linemat7887]

These are good tips even for experienced players. Didn't know about pin button and sorting support gems by attribute they require

[@Calisto997]

Thank you so much! Very helpful

[@Schweed0711]

This video is f**king gold! Thanks alot!

[@wtfronsson]

If I understood the weapon swap thing correctly, you can also apply Blink to the secondary set. So any character can have a "swap teleport". And if your character isn't using a shield as default, you can do Raise Shield as the button to activate set 2, and then you are free to use Blink as well. Seems kind of nifty for a "defensive mode" kind of thing. Get out of trouble, keep blocking and resetting any buff etc you need to, prepare to attack again. I don't get to actually play the game until the weekend, so I'm just guessing.

[@drofresco]

This is clutch man! I’ve watched tons of videos and nobody has talked about certain points you brought up. Subscribed and hit the bell 🤙

[@paulryan4134]

POE(2) noob here, mind blown, literally has me 😮, the most useful video I've seen, instantly liked and subscribed.

[@christopherklepadlo1426]

THANK YOU for considering those of us stuck on console!! So few guides adress controller.

[@tdof7217]

These are the only good tips I've gotten, big thanks

[@GamersGuild777]

Great video bud i started with ranger and the deadeye ascension

[@Xariann]

Learned a few things and also love your delivery. Get better soon! Also... 8:56 sponsored by Sir David Attenborough.

[@SchwingyGaming]

Wow! I did not know about the pinning an item. That's amazing as a creator! :O

[@Swoozie89]

Honestly, great guide. Earned a sub from me, because you also covered controller input haha.

[@hirins]

Everyone speaks about the best build but only u mention quality The best begunners guide vid! U the best

[@Mr_Tokon]

You always have the best guides

[@Thepaulislame]

didn't know about the weapon swap thing with talents for each, that's neat.

[@Soapy_Papoose]

The best thing to have on your health and mana flask is charges being restored passively. Being able to run around for a minute and gain an extra charge is huge in boss fights.

[@NappyP]

Great vid, not currently playing POE2 but appreciate the tips and yes every time I hear the word POE, I think of the LoZ series.

[@Monchegorx]

Best video of this type I've seen, I learned a lot

[@MinecraftMartin]

Playing Fire Chronomancer and Temporal Rift is so much fun. Pairs really well with some spells that otherwise are harder to use

[@dunngyllite7883]

actually some infos in here I didn't know (the very first about the quality shards being the most valuable to me), so kudos for that. To answer your question: two witches (one bonemancer, one firemancer) and a warrior. They all are a blast to play, and I'm sure, I will have fun with more classes later on.

[@NukSooKow-yp9py]

Wow...the amount of stuff I did not know until I watched this. My man! 😎

[@simongentry]

best early game info so far… thank you!

[@synners7370]

Just in regards to the support gems. Yes you can click all but then you have to know which ones are useable on that skill. To get around this look a little to the right of that and deselect "show recommended" and it should show you the list of gems useable for each selected skill. Hope this helps.

[@Maettzle]

These tips are super valuable! Thank you!

[@tommyvercetti4687]

This is really helpful for newer platyer like myself!! thanks

[@garryw1974]

Thank you this is one of the best tips videos I have found.

[@DavidGarcia-v1g]

Extremely helpful! Thank you! 🙏

[@NiloAzzurro]

Man, I learned so many tips in one video that subscribing is a must for everyone! 😀

[@creese16]

Thanks for the tips, Alex. I’m sure you are planning more videos, but I’d love a brief leveling build guide for some different classes. I’m on my 3rd character swap now trying out a different class, and though I played about 100 hours PoE1 there are quite a lot of differences here.

[@JustinGoffinet]

5:40 you can keep the skill selected for compatibility and auto-slotting, and uncheck show recommended in the bottom left of the window instead.

[@PhoenixLnk]

CAN'T Believe i didnt turn on panel mode earlier. love you

[@MajorShy]

Omg thank you so much for the selection of weapon tip

[@OxiconGaming]

You need a "get well" card bro coz You're fully sick. Seriously, did not know about Quality Items. I'm new to the PoE theme. Appreciate the tips.

[@meljorellabugho8592]

Dude this was a huge help. Thank you. Get well man.

[@0877fernando]

You are such a big help man! Thank you 😎🤜🏼🤛🏼

[@Breakfast_Time-r3c]

My first time with the POE universe. Love the combination of Gems and support gems.

That was really useful. Thank you and get well soon.

[@Joshidakun]

Thank you kindly for looking out for us frend , keep up the good work 😌

[@freenox1797]

Man thank you so much for these advices, it helped me alot.

[@SuperDavvan]

LoL at the ending, GG good sir.

[@adam_nykali]

Hedgehog tip was definitely the most useful

[@Bwdh23]

Thank you man!!! I am currently trying mercenary but i am going for either witch or warrior type next

[@raimboy2001]

When I start I picked Sorc, but yesterday I made a Ranger, love at first play.

[@Quizack]

9:14 Sonichu, what are you doing in here??

[@jmsworks86]

Stuff like these makes think that the internet is still in a good place

[@silentgaming2487]

That was very helpful for a noob thanks :) Just broke down a yellow shield and 1H mace cause I switched to 2H, didnt notice I can align skills just to specific weapons or that I can set passives just for specific weapons :))) oh well, looks like I have some grinding to do :D

[@DeadByThousandCuts]

Good info, I didn't know some of that stuff. I go with Ranger for starters but will try out all classes eventually 🔥😁
