Path of Exile 2 Complete Noob Playthrough Part 1

Welcome to my attempt to playthrough Path of Exile 2. I never played the first game and am going into this game almost completely blind. So I am bound to be making a ton of mistakes and not playing anywhere near optimally. I am also accustomed to playing melee classes far more than ranged. Like with Diablo, I played all melee classes through all those games and spent very little time trying ranged. Let's see how much I manage to figure out as I go along as I basically run at top speed through a concrete maze blindfolded.
Hopefully I don't suck at POE 2 too badly.
