​@AMediumSizedKodiak ok hero. Get off the epeen. This is my first play through.

[@Tuloth]

Thanks for this kind of vid Ziz, I'm following your lacerate glad and struggling a bit. It's not that we don't watch the build guides but at a certain point it gets very over whelming. The most helpful part of this I think is the trade site tutorial. I very often 'know' what I need, life and resists, but if I search for the specific mods on a specific base, I end up getting insanely priced results. Learning how to properly use the filters to find good deals on upgrades goes a LONG way for a newer player.

[@gundamnit3594]

The problem is suppression gear is usually really overpriced. You'll have people selling a T1 suppression roll with maybe one resist roll for a couple divines. Since there's no way to really craft for it besides spamming shit this is what we get.

[@Tuloth]

@@gundamnit3594 You're not wrong, feel like I can't afford decent defensive gear, and without it I just die. Not quite sure what to do about it as a newer player other than "Guess I'll die". Kinda want GGG to do something about the dominance of mandatory nature of Spell Suppression as a defensive layer, but more afraid they'd just nerf it and all content gets more rippy rather than spread Spell Suppression around to more bases

[@gundamnit3594]

@@Tuloth Yeah atm I pretty much have zero suppression rolled on anything except my boots which dropped for me. I'm doing t16s really easily with the lacerate build since it's so tanky. Are you dying in normal mapping or are you doing bosses?

Hi is it in this video ?

[@lolleonlolable]

@@gundamnit3594 u dont need suppression on all the gear, just take one suppression wheel with the lucky mastery and ur already rocking like 50-60% chance, with the 10%from flask and maybe ONE piece with 10% ur already rocking 80-90%. if your too far from the suppression stuff (jugg for example) you can try to get like 85%res (with the 3 5%max res flasks) and some maxres stuff on the tree. 90%maxres is basicly the same as 75%maxres with 100% suppression. also small tipp "Elevore" helmet is super cheap and can have up to 25% suppression. (also makes u almost unkillable vs small spell hits when combined with 80+%spell supp)

[@YuYuYuna_]

I get the, not frustration, but puzzled feeling how they got so jumbled up on this but as someone who only recently started to really learn the game better I completely understand where they are coming from. POE is like a juggling waiter (or a programmer as I've heard). You are given 1 problem to solve, you solve that problem and now you have a bunch more. It takes awhile to get fully used to it and understanding how everything pieces together. There was legit such a long period of time where every league I would spend a full night of 4hrs playing and all I was doing is trying to figure out "Okay I need these resistances still but I also need these base stats (str/dex/int) for my gear/gems. I gotta make sure everything pieces together right" Early on especially learning the game there is so many times where I bought gear because it had good resistances on it, realized I now need other resistances now that I didn't because my other item in that slot had that other res type, and now I have to buy another piece of gear to balance that. Being more experienced with the game now that's all 2nd nature now and getting res capped, having all the stats I need and understanding how a build pieces together isn't hard for me.

[@fofolacosa123]

just follow the guide

[@gzaf187]

Yeah, but also … follow the guide.

[@Ficohaker]

@@gzaf187 yeah but also, the guid I follow leaves a 1000000 holes for me to fill in, progresses differently from me etc, so you obviously get lost, have way more questions then answers, and doesn't explain what I personally have issues with, and its a maxroll build, yeah its good enough for me to get by, but I have no idea how to get gear for example

[@RonpuRonpiche]

You 2 guys responding are so dumb. The hard stuff he's talking about is litteraly how to buy the stuff that is interesting and good, and how to manage your stats. The guide doesn't talk about that, except "this item need that explicit". It takes time to learn. The firsts time I traded I myself had a hard time to search for the items, and I forgot several times that the item I bought, was gonna replace the stats of my old one (I capped a res just to uncap an other res because I didn't think about it). It takes time to get use to it. You need to check the level and stat requirement, the stats it gives for your gems, the res, the maximum life, the life regen maybe, the armor or evasion, the attack damage, the upgrade you can yourself give to the item...

[@Siikesz]

[@Kevfactor]

Like my DPS is bad but i did manage to kill seer and a nicely rolled t17 with just an accurcy debuff that was the negative for me hehe. Maven and shaper are too hard for me though as I only have 200k dps :)

[@campd73]

First of all, your videos are incredible Ziz and your value to gaming communities is immeasurable, so thank you for all your thankless work. I think I can shed some light on why the videos didn't help this fella as I was/is in the same position as well. I'm a veter ARPG player but always bailed on POE before late game because it is so daunting. I try to watch all you videos and Raxx's and I really struggle to follow because of the short-hand terminology that is second nature to vet POE players, but very foreign to us new players; implicit, prefix, suffix, etc etc. I have a fairly high level couple toons because this season is so awesome and I love the POE devs, but I am too afraid to craft as I don't wan to waste precious resources. At the moment I just farm chaos and use that to buy new gear and hoard all my materials until I have a better understanding.

[@chrisjones658]

This is my 2nd league and I know exactly what you mean. I've killed EVERYTHING in D2/3/4 hundreds of times. I've killed everything in every fromsoft game. I was raider in a top 200 WoW guild(s) for over a decade. I've hit Predator in Apex Legends and I have a masters degree in Electronic Engineering. All this to say, learning POE is one of the hardest things I've ever done and in many ways THE hardest and most confusing. But also one of the most rewarding. I learnt most of what I know now from watching full vods of people levelling and getting to red maps.

[@trash6960]

​@@chrisjones658 It's because as impressive as many things you accomplished are they sadly have no correlation. But with all of those things under your belt you will most likely learn quickly, even with 8000 hours I'm still learning intricate mechanics and so much changes on skill trees even if you understand it one season different modifiers and damage types/ resistances will make you need to go back and get your Phdoe again

[@FunTimesAllNight]

Ziz has a series of videos called POE University, you can find them in his playlists. He does a few each league and since they're the basics of the game they should be generally applicable to leagues that come after they were made. There's some that go over the game at a very introductory level where he covers stuff that feels almost too obvious but you will still find very useful information there. Look for those and you will find some of the beginner information you're talking about.

[@campd73]

@@FunTimesAllNight Maybe I'm watching them in the wrong order or something. They are phenomenal videos with an incredible amount of information, but I always feel like I'm starting with muilti-variable calculus when I don't know how to add

[@campd73]

@@FunTimesAllNight One of the things that is my learning block as well is I need to know why I'm doing something or why I'm not doing something else. What is the reason for any of this so I can fully understand it. I can't learn well from just copying steps, so I really benefit from a shot conversation about stuff.

[@mister-hajime]

"Did you just ignore the build guide" True new player here (I don't even know what scarabs are for) using your guide right now in SSF. I know I needed the essence to craft the weapon, but by the time I have enough to make a shrieking essence of that type, I was already level 85 and in yellow map. This guy was level 83. Do you guys get shrieking essence in white maps? Also, I didn't know that I needed that specific 1H axe. I thought I could just do it with any axes because I didn't understand implicit modifiers (I probably still don't)

[@yeppboi]

you can get essence in tier 1 maps, depends if you spec into it on your atlas tree or not. I spam white maps for the first few days of a league with an essence altas tree and use those essence to craft my gear later on down the line when i want to tackle harder content.

[@sylaros9346]

you kinda do wanna need Reaver Axe, beacause it has the highest dmg possible (the second number 114 on a base white item) and for the bleed build you do care only for the higher number, not DPS.

[@MrArbaras]

Scarabs are for selling to people who have less of a life than you and can put them to better use.

[@brofst]

in trade league you can buy a large handful of shrieking essences for a couple of chaos. In SSF or other, you can get by with a lower tier weapon in the interim.

[@chicomanara]

Tbh, I don't either. Not a begginer, but still learning a lot. I specially struggle at those middle or transitoonal states of the game. In the case of that weapon, essences will give you a better result, but in the beggining a rare you found on the ground + benchcraft can get you pretty far, at least to the point you can Farm those essences to beggin with. Heck, you can even alt spam for flaring on a hight enoght base, regal and Hope you either land a good mod or finish the craft with the bench. Sure, it don't give you anywhere near 600pdps, but any 300 is a start.

[@jackaral]

I think it would be interesting to give a priority list for newer players on what they should be upgrading. I remember when I first started following your guides as a beginner it was still very overwhelming. Giving a bit of basic direction on upgrade priorities might be a good idea.Or like you said in your SST video, explaining more explicitly where your damage comes from and how to scale it, as obvious as it would seem, would be very helpful for newer players.

[@FairyTailFTW]

but he HAS that, this lacerate guide is on maxroll and has more or less every single upgrade in order. the problem is not the guides, people are just not looking at the information that is there.

[@jackaral]

@FairyTailFTW that's fair, I haven't used the maxroll guides. The old ones used to be only the POB and the video, and even then, I felt overwhelmed, glad to hear the new ones are better

[@steel5897]

Look for a PoB guide. You can import your character to it and do all kinds of testing, like what gems to go for, how much DPS/survivability you'll get for any given item (you can ctrl C an item from in-game or trade into it, 2 clicks), test passive tree changes, etc, you can do everything and it'll easily tell you what to go for first. No new player should be scared of PoB, it doesn't make the game harder or more complex, it makes the game INFINITELY EASIER to figure out, it's like a superpower, it's literally like having a calculator when dealing with a complex math problem, over having to math it out in your head (basically not possible).

[@Maariuz]

Again if you look at the maxroll guide in the progression tab you have all your upgrades listed in order and if you look at the overview tab you have all the ways to scale your offence and defense

[@fobo8027]

​@@FairyTailFTWtrue, people just want to copy paste without at least a basic understanding of what they're doing. The same thing always happened in warframe with people saying "I don't do as much dmg" and they're completely ignoring some synergies which allow for insane damage.

[@ColdDeck45]

As a casual player who's following this same build for 1st char this league, i appreciate the time and patience you showed.

[@animeangeis]

I am not following this build but I am making my own and I like to read it to know how and when to progress. A lot of the stuff in the guide is for people who already know how to do something. For example, you mention use "x" item, you arent really telling people how to get it. Some people might just wait until it drops. Most of the stuff is go on trade site. But like how to get a high quality axe? You also mention a lot on crafting but they gotta farm up the currency. For example, you also mention in I believe the part of crafting the weapon, to make it so Prefixes cannot be changed. They might have not even unlocked that. Or can have up to 3 crafted modifiers. The game does tell you where to get it, "technically" but to a new player the name of the unique map might not mean much to a new player. Perhaps is a bit too much to explain every single thing under each section but you also mention Harvest craft. They might not even know what Harvest really is or is used for, or how to go about farming it. Now I assume not everyone will have all of these issues just some. But im sure some dude is still waiting to drop a high % quality axe.

[@JohnCostanzo]

As a new player what is hard with the guides is it hard to sometimes find that exact gear. When I got to trade site people want so much for it, I cannot afford it. So for me I would like to see guides have multiple item sets to help you progress

[@utmastuh]

It always impresses me when people can craft a good phys weapon. Getting every single affix to roll what you want on top of high tier rolls is uncommon. That's where people get bottlenecked with melee damage

What helped me with this build was understanding how bleed works. High top-end dmg = king. Currently at 3.3m DPS with about 15d investment (mostly Ryslatha's), eyeing that next big axe upgrade so I can break into ubers/T17s. One piece of advice to anyone farming with this build: use shield charge for clear. Only stop to lacerate magic/rare packs.

There's an absolute shit ton of things in the game to think about and solve with your build. Best thing you can do is don't feel rushed and start thinking of daily goals and goals in general. Like "today I want to get resistance capped, how do I do that" or "today I want to get a better weapon" etc. Compared to more experienced players it is slower this way but as the saying goes Rome wasn't built in a day. You have to build up this knowledge over time and by taking small but meaningful steps. You sound like you're doing pretty well so far keep it up!

[@dogbarian8280]

I'm pretty new as well, and your build guide videos and PoB notes are no doubt excellent for veteran players, but not so much for new folks. I have about 75 hours in so far, with maybe 40 or so of that in last season. I'm following your FrostBolt/Nova Heirophant build, and you just don't explain well enough about the transition from Rolling Magma to Firestorm. What gems in that transition are important (since I don't have anything better than a 4 link yet), what skill path should I be following in this mid range and so on (for example, how do I jump from that level 31 passive map to the level 55 one, which route to follow first)? It's easy for you to say "oh, for campaign, just focus on life, mana, and resists", but that does not really help us non-speed runners. And, I don't think you ever mentioned - oh, this build relies on two transfigured gems, which can be a RNGfest, here's how to handle that. Or exactly when and where you should cast the other powers (if ever) - like your mid-range build has Conductivity - do I need that and when)? I am enjoying the build and am getting through content, currently in Act 4, because I'm not racing through. I'm probably over-leveled for where I am, but at some point, that's going to catch up. So just maybe add a little more explanation somewhere, in video or in build, and be cognizant of the inexperienced users too. Or do a MaxRoll guide maybe? I do appreciate the hard work and time you've put in on these builds, so thank you very much for them!

[@yeppboi]

if youre still srtruggling you could check out maxrolls PoE guide on frostbolts nova heiro build. i did it last league and i never really got lost at what to upgrade next or what to aim for in terms of upgrades.

[@Verulen22]

Man his builds are specifically for new folks. They are the most hand holding and with tons of notes that explain almost everything. If he doesn't tell you which points to take first probably doesn't matter. The ice nova build btw like he says in the video is not his, it's goratha's, which caters to more experienced players and still has a lot of notes. I'm not sure what do you expect a build guide to do.

[@tyger2221]

Couldn’t agree more. This is great as I’m pretty much in the same boat! Content creators with thousands of hours think things are super clear (and they are for people with a lot of hours in the game) but the notes and guide are extremely not beginner friendly. The massive jumps between levels within pob and even the guide is so confusing to new people. And then they get mad when we say that. Poe sure isn’t for the faint of heart.

[@tyger2221]

@@Verulen22 if you think somebody with no experience could read that build guide and be successful you’re crazy.

[@zsolt_te]

Poe is not beginner friendly at all 😢. Unfortunately every hour you spend ingame probably you need least 5-10hrs outside of the game learn the mechanics and the basics. Few things to note : -act 1 to 10 is tutorial and you can finish it with a 4link of any skill... The actual game starts t14 maps and upwards. -75% resistance is mandatory after you finished act 10. Chaos resistance least 30-40% if you don't want to die from poison or chaos. - Have a bleed, poison and elemental ailments removal flask or talent. -before picking a build check out the gear /gem prices (most of the flashy builds pretty meh until a certain amount of investment)

[@joshwilliams8107]

Man if I just understood the crafting in this game I think I would be a ton of fun. Is that website the one for trading? Does that work for console or just SOL?

[@Cavissi]

Website is the same for console, it has a drop down menu where you select which client. Its on the official path of exile site, just log into it and hit the "trade" button

[@majorshepard2]

Same on console. But never play the console version. It has maybe 10% of the playerbase pc has so there are no fractures to buy and even if so they will be more expensive because you don't make currency as on pc and people overpriced a lot because there are less items available. A 30c item on pc can cost up to 5 divs on console. Never play it. Horrible experience

Hey zizz im new to poe and i had the same issue with the weapon lol. Thanks for the video, and i swear i thought i followed what i had to do!

I wish I wasn't too dumb to craft. I look at craft of exile for like 5 minutes and then just close it because it ain't happening. It's overwhelming.

why is the audio weird?

[@Siikesz]

I think the one thing ive learned about POE as a some what new player who was always on and off is to not dive too deep into POE. The one thing that as always turned me off from POE is the community/guides being someone who spent maybe 2k hours in ESO from beta till the launch of warden it was very easy to understand how crafting/loot hunting worked. Build guides were understandable. personally think POE build guides are like more leaning towards vet players and them having an understand of what is what and how you got to what. POE is complex but i think most guide video dont help new players understand anything besides "this is what you want" not nesscary how you should get there. POE is literally just a game with so much shit to learn and understand and know the ins and outs of how to do things, and oh btw you should run this item fliter and btw you need to understand how to properly use the item fliter for your build you want specifically, oh and than you got to use like these 5 websites and understand how they work, oh and also we dont got an in game marketplace so heres a forum marketplace or a macro bind whatever the fuck that is. Oh than you need to have fully completed all acts ( i think ) to know wtf everything the game as to offer completely.

[@Maariuz]

i mean i dont think the problem is the crafted phys the problem is that it has no added phys or attack speed, if you spam essences until you hit attack speed and craft increased phys you have a somewhat decent axe

[@Cantatos]

I read some of peoples bad comments on this build when I started to lvl it and I got worried but I sticked with it. I'm now lvl 79 and I absolutely love this build. Thank goodness I sticked with it. My first character this League was a Zoomancer and its great as well but this build destroys it. Nothing wrong with DPS. Only issue is that it's bloody expensive and it greatly helped that this wasn't my first build.

[@RobotboyX2]

this build is actually pretty cheap, its just that minions are crazy cheap til u go for high end items

It's a great starter build. The problem is a lot of people expect to be carried by the build and dont, fundamentally, know how to play the game.

@@RobotboyX2 This. Minions are dirt cheap. Minions totems and mines are always dirt cheap builds to get started with.

[@Cantatos]

@@RobotboyX2I wouldn't call lacerate of hemorrhage cheap for a starter build, and I'm not even talking about the belt or weapon.

[@majorshepard2]

​@@Cantatosyeah. Melee is the most expensive thing this league. It's a buffed niche so it's going to be. Especially this build or ground slam. These 2 are the most expensive builds in the game with belt and amulet and weapon and gloves. Pure Phys weapons were always harder to craft despite 3 ele dmg bows. People just get baited in "cheap league starter builds" by 95% of the content creators because they dropped a 400 DPS one hand or a 600 DPS 2hand in the first 3 days. That's what the real problem is. People expect that damage and wondering why they die with 60% less dps. Or in a shield throw bleed that is just garbage at best. Ziz did his job this league pretty well

[@hansbansor5170]

PoE Guides are just not that ideal in general for new players. They learn 1000 answers to questions they didnt ask in the first place so the learning experience is somewhat skewed. Ive a friend who plays since 3 Leagues and always follows guides religiously. He quitted his Leaguestarter this Leauge because 'the build is bad because he didnt get enough resistance by the end of the campaign'. He is seems to be completly helpless to solve the easiest problems despite being deeper into endgame as me last League. One funny thing was when he tried Dex Stacking Ballista, and his first purchase was a perfect rain of splinters (30%) for like 5 div. He could have bought so much with that money, but the guide had a 30% one - so he also had to have the 30% one.

[@avenshmit66]

@@trippy1v349 it's a veiled mod from the betrayal mechanic. In order to add it to your craft bench you'll need to run betrayal content in maps and get boots from the syndicate members that are "veiled". You then use Jun to unveil the items and if it's a new unveil for you it gets added to you bench. Keep going until you unveil the movement speed/onslaught mod and then you can craft it. You can also buy veiled items on trade to unveil w/ Jun if you don't want to run the content. There is an option to search only for veiled items on the trade website.

[@mrmozao]

Ziz, a prop following: I guess people forget how much info you need to have - and you don't - to craft your own things as a beginner. That's guides out there, but it's hard to grasp how to control the affix of the crafting. Even the guides itself does't proper show how to start and finish the craft. Like: ultil yesterday, I wasn't sure if an item with the veiled, could be rolled out the afflix and still keep the veiled withou revealing it. Had to learn that you don't the hard way. We miss a lot how to do proper beginner crafting from base lvl and what you get. When you use essence, when you use delve, when you use veiled, when you just spam alteration. Like, it's a lot. Break it down for us as a content. There's that university video. That's A LOT for an only sit down and learn everything. You just don't get it all at once. ok, i need a weapon and a shield. the resistances to go after t16 we learn as we die and improve. so heres a dedicated video for str weapon, shield, wand, how to proper 6 link a bow without only spamming 1k orb of fusing. things like that. small, pills of knowledge, that we can learn, try, see the outcome, and come with the knowledge for the next video, with the context that we've tried and from test and outcome, learned the result. Anyway. TL/DR. You said you wanted to learn. Hope it helps somehow. And yes, I'm dying more than you do. 237 times in my league starter atm. kkkkrying

[@panda93247]

I thought high attack speed was important because you're running volatility and you have more chances at a higher bleed in a shorter amount of time, thus increasing your overall dps. Am I wrong in thinking this?

[@Chavelo88]

Attackspeed does help the odds of getting a big bleed, thus on average you should be getting a bigger bleed. But phys damage is just more important.
