Path of Exile 2 is Very Different from Path of Exile 1 ft. Talkative Tri - Khan's Kast

[@TalkativeTri]

Absolute pleasure speaking with you, glad you and so many others are playing Path of Exile 2! Welcome aboard.

[@yorick2004]

No prob, now it's time for you to Play monster huntec...

[@Uber_GoobTube]

Cool to see the two of you guys come together. What a weird crossover I never expected.

[@mdjv]

Great exchange guys it was a delite to follow. Love you Rurikhan for years old hunter, just discover PoE and TT and dude you are a pleasure to interact with too I didnt thought about the roll change since you guys bring that up and yeah, now i feel sadd too by the change, i never was surrounded again and i kind of like to be killed i a make a huge mistake Thanks again keep going guys, Love

[@joaoffmoraes]

I loved this talk. And I totally agree with most of the points here. One thing I would like to add is I hope GGG does not turn POE2 into POE 1.5, yes POE1 players should be heard (I am one with 3k+ hours played) but they should with the knowledge that this is a new game, it's not reskin POE1. It's not the case of saying "Go back to POE1", but if you want POE1 experience, you have POE1. POE2 is a new game.

[@yournamethere123]

Never had an ARPG make me lean forward in my chair in a level 6 zone before. Well done GGG.

[@jhanlec]

Two people's channels I love together. I love Rurikhan's idea for Sehkema trial where you can earn back honor with time!

[@justin9744]

My buddy and I did our ascendency together. Final room before boss was a merchant room. We bought a boon from the merchant that made us immune to damage until after the next room. Proceeded to destroy the boss with god mode enabled from the boon. We couldn’t believe our luck.

[@kmurphy0620]

Great to see this collab

[@fernandozavaletabustos205]

Let's go! I am excited for this collaboration episode!

[@iamphilzen]

one of the best collab podcasts here so far Ruri!! get him back again!! ❤

[@Capitan_Captain]

Tri is the most lovable person out there, really cool to watch you both on the same podcast edit: im pretty sure he was talking about ragegamingvideos, they really are too far deep into clickbait

[@mintparfait]

It's rare to see such a positive and happy person in the arpg community. Thanks for platforming them.

[@morningstarxiv342]

FFX's sphere grid prepared me for the POE skill tree, years before POE.

[@barkon34]

Yea POE is pretty much Diablo meets Final Fantasy 10 and Final Fantasy 7

[@spyfire242]

As a PoE 1 enjoyer and Souls fan I am really loving PoE 2, I prefer the challenge. The thing about PoE1 that I love is the sheer diversity of different and viable end game builds, you can take almost any of the games hundreds of skills and make them work if you are creative and you can curate your end game experience how you want. PoE 1 is truly a very special game and PoE 2 is setting the foundation to be even better and I am all for it.

[@MaAlGon3]

I think one thing that would fix the trial of the Sekhema is to make it so that the Sacred Water vendor is there after every single room. That way you always have the opportunity to remove debuffs, buy boons or restore honor. Maybe make a limit of one purchase per room. That way there's always a way to save a run and melee playstyles have a safety net for tanking more attacks than ranged classes. Also, blocking SHOULD prevent losing Honor.

[@yournamethere123]

Ruri is one of the first KZbinrs I remember watching. Taught me how to tank back in wotlk and I took that knowledge to become a high end raid tank for many years, just found tri in the hype leading to poe 2. Never thought this would happen 😂

[@lindstromra]

I think a training room where you are free to change your currently earned points and skills around to see how they function would be amazing. After your test you can commit to your changes and spend your taxes for making the changes. Having to pay for that up front just to find out it doesn’t work, then paying to change it back is way too expensive.

[@yournamethere123]

I am getting characters from the beach to ascended and working through act 3 in a respectable amount of time after the first two runs of the campaign

[@justin9744]

Same. Your first playthrough teaches you the game and the subsequent playthrough are much easier, even on new characters.

[@deadcaptainjames6045]

Tri is such a wholesome dude I really like him. Please get more guests like him. Ive noticed a trend that you are becoming kinda negative all the time and its been really discouraging. Its nice to see someone positive to help balance that out.

[@rurikhan]

Me becoming negative? Where’s this coming from?

[@relicshadow9875]

@@rurikhan That Game Awards voting video was rather sour and contrarian.🤷‍♂ Besides that I don't see it much on this channel. As an Insect Glaive main I really appreciate you championing how Capcom clearly dropped the ball there and appreciate that input as 100% necessary, not negative. Maybe they caught your other podcast with that anti-woke co-host and his angry/sad parrot vibe. Getting through that wall to realize you are still being your rational self there too and not just also feeding into the grifter garbage swamp the other guy seems to exclusively dwell in may have been missed and ended up leaving the wrong overall impression? Regardless, Tri is a damn beam of sunshine hitting a windowsill pie and I do agree his positivity is rather heartening.

[@deadcaptainjames6045]

Ruri I've been a fan for a long time like 7 years my dude, so I say this from a place of love. But most of Gaming KZbin is doom and gloom lately. Every Khans anvil feels like a bitch fest. As a queer person im definitely starting to notice some red flags in how you talk about "woke", DEI, or LGBTQ representation in gaming. So far you haven't came outright and said it but listening to how you talk about "modern games" (on youtube that term is usually a dog whistle) but that stuff is just giving red flag warnings. Just please dont turn into another soldier in the right wing grifting culture war. I love you bro. ​it really seemed that after D4 something in your attitide changed. @rurikhan

[@rurikhan]

@relicshadow9875 yeah I wasn’t super happy about that video myself, I privated it since then, it just really rubbed me the wrong way people started crapping all over sote. As for Mythic Banter, two things, I love Accolonn, he’s a good friend and we often disagree on a lot of topics, and I like to see it as two opposite sides being able to disagree without it devolving into internet mudslinging, I hope one day more people would look at it and find we all have a lot more in common with our fellow gamers across the board than we have differences. I know it’s a long shot, but it’s still fun, and I like having my positions challenged, if they don’t hold up under scrutiny I should rethink them.

[@rurikhan]

@deadcaptainjames6045 sorry you feel that way, I don’t try to make Khan’s Anvils into negativity, but I will rail on Ubisoft and Blizzard because I believe we must. They are brutally anti-consumer companies that deserve the flak. As for the DEI stuff, don’t often talk about it, and when I talk about modern gaming I’m usually referring to MTX practices, unethical Early Access or other slops. And if I do bring up DEI or ESG it’s often to point out examples where I believe representation has been done forcefully and poorly which is more often than not pointed out by LGBTQ members in my audience. (Like veilguard’s bharv nonsense)

[@Eviltwin1]

I agree with alot pf these points, its a great listen.

[@FrozenAXL]

21:20 That's such a wholesome and W take to make as a youtuber, really important of you to make such statements. Part of the reason people are like that is because the internet is toxic, and PoE2 has some online game feelings to it. So people see other on the internet constantly making bombastic builds and numbers, while others keep insulting anyone they see, so people are playing this game under some sort of pressure. It's important for youtubers to slow down sometimes and make such statements, because sometimes this feels like a competition, and the actual truth is it's a game for people to enjoy at their own pace.

[@CharlesBurleigh]

I really enjoy Tri's content. He takes the time to explain the game to "casuals" which is all I am. I only have an hour or two a couple of days a week to play. So his content has been very useful. I broke my Lvl 17 Witch in the manor! Somehow all my spirit disappeared!😢 No matter what I do with my gear, I can't have more than 30 spirit, which is what I got from the King in the Mists. Could be a bug, I've reported it. So, I started another witch because I want to finish the campaign (Acts 1-3) with a witch before I build a new character. 😅

[@xkon03]

Sceptres give a base of 100 spirit, so maybe you changed your weapon and didn't realize that's where the majority of your spirit came from?

[@CharlesBurleigh]

@xkon03 I have the same scepter. I didn't change anything. My minions dissappeared and then i realized my Spirit was gone. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@silvermunkee]

@@CharlesBurleigh Make sure you arent accidentally weapon swapping to another weapon set, or that the scepter required a certain attribute that you no longer have. If that happens it can still look equipped but no longer give any bonuses.

[@666slateran666]

I keep ending up lol 13 by the time I reach the manor. Have a warrior, merc, and a witch. By the time I made my witch I'm basically speed running act 1, did you do alot of grinding?

[@CharlesBurleigh]

@@silvermunkee I've checked and double checked everything. I'm guessing it is a rare bug.

[@alexsterling5788]

Magma Barrier not working on Shield Charge is probably a bug in that case. There is a support called Despoiler that extends ground effects and it doesn't work on one of the final monk skills that drops shocked ground. Definitely should work, report that bug!

[@zeroarts7623]

11:21 right here because this is a valid playstyle for others thats awesome, but when im in multiplayer, THAT IS A VERY DIFFERENT STORY.

[@thecasualexile123]

You don't lose honour when you block in the Sekhema Trials.

[@666slateran666]

Another reason why Ruris experience is skewed compared to the average person

[@kalebgrubb2272]

I’m having a blast with PoE2. I think a lot of the SoulsBorne fans are enjoying PoE2 as well.

[@666slateran666]

I'm a soulsborne fan, hundreds of hours in all fromsoft games. But some of the difficulty feels more frustrating than rewarding

[@jadoro72]

Great convo and great message. Give POE2 time and serious consideration! POE2, like POE, and the game that got me through the pandemic, Grim Dawn, is meant to be played long term. This is definitively not a Diablo alternative. It's a 1000+ hour game and its trying to do something different with the ARPG Genre, critique it on it's own terms. Kahn's Kast is always a great place for a real conversation about a game. Ruri and other CC's have always been there to help me see the value in a game I might otherwise give up on, and honestly, after creating and supporting a like minded community, is there a better service a CC could provide? Thanks Ruri! Shields up Iron Breakers.

[@m9l5t1]

What an enjoyable conversation to watch. Diablo II is still my all-time favorite game but if they improve upon the base they have here they have a chance at dethroning D2 in my eyes. D2, Elden Ring, and now POE2 have been the only games in my 32 years on earth that I've willinging stayed up wayyy too late playing. Never played Diablo 3 and Diablo 4 was such a dissapointment IMHO. This is the true successor I've been waiting for of D2 for over 20 years. It's not perfect but GGG has a good track record unlike most game companies and I'm super excited for what the future has in store for this game.

[@AlkisGD]

43:01 - I got it first try too with my Monk and I'm a complete ARPG noob. Maybe it was luck, maybe it was my build (frost), maybe it was experience from roguelikes and soulslikes and whatnot. I don't know. Kiting with Glacial Cascade and Frozen Locus is definitely not my preferred playstyle with Monk, but when push comes to shove and I can't get close, it's what I fall back on (along with Wave of Frost, now).

[@an0mndr]

16:52 ho.. Lee.. fk.. I need to start turning my sound back on for this fight, even when I'm playing at night lol

[@kalebgrubb2272]

Need to do a podcast with Rax!!!

[@AscendantStoic]

There is a reason they are nerfing OP moves/exploits left and right, they don't want players zooming all across the map clearing mobs mindlessly and one-shotting all bosses and ignoring all the mechanics. Also I did remember finding gear with Chaos resist, it was only 9% but they do exist.

[@an0mndr]

1:00:57 didn't they say during affliction that those explosions are tri-ele, not chaos?

[@IRatchetI]

So just to correct people on the whole "buying higher level skill gems" thing, they all have level requirements, so you can't skip from a level 1 gem to a level 20. For example, I have several level 14 gems from my Ranger, but when I go to use one of them on my level 5 Warrior the game flat out won't let will whether it's an uncut or cut skill gem. What I will say though is it looks like support gems don't have a level requirement at all, so that might factor into this argument, I don't know.

[@ilyanawolf5524]

I do think they need to shore up the dodge i-frame, cause their have been times I got hit, but I shows me outside the hitbox.

[@kilodi]

2 things that I think Kripp got right in his review, Skill gems should have their own leveling system which rises as your use them like POE1, this let's it grind to get better even if the build is not that great and you can over power yourself to play harder content. Seems like GGG wanted to make a "souls like" instead of a "diablo like" seeing how important roll is i don't want to be one shot if my build is tanky, its an ARPG it should be around my character building skills not how quick I can roll.

[@jrod12389]

I finished creating the horn in Act 2 before doing the Trial and found it super easy, was I just over leveled? Or does the trial scale? Cleared it with no problem on a monk

[@tonyfabiano3053]

I beat Elden Ring because it allowed me to farm XP in easier areas. It took me 170 hours to beat it, but I did. PoE 2 I am stuck on the boss in Act 2, and my only choice for XP farming is the Dreadnought because they gate how much xp you earn in areas lower than 3 levels below you. PoE 2 feels more difficult to me for that reason. I had more hope in Elden ring. I died 20 times to Melania and 50 to the final double boss fight, but it felt more rewarding and like a skill issue. The act 2 boss in POE 2 doesn't feel like a skill issue when my player does almost no damage and I would need to farm a not fun zone in the Dreadnought to try to gain more power. I am now starting on my 3rd character and following a build guide that a lot of people said works for them. Fingers crossed.

[@Creslin321]

Make sure you get lightning resist for Jamanra. He was the hardest boss in the campaign IMO, but he is beatable. I had to redo my build and grind a bit, but I did beat him eventually.

[@tonyfabiano3053]

@Creslin321 Thanks for the tip.

[@DTPandemonium]

I didnt die to him but ran out of potions halfway through phase 2 but then understood I can just circle him to dodge the big line attack and just won no issue. Just make sure you have high lightning res, can always slot it in with rune sockets. Movespeed on boots also helps and you wont even need to roll usually.

[@bystander85]

I wouldn't mind on death effects as much if the loot didn't hide their existence. I died so many times excitedly picking up some good loot only to discov--oops I'm dead.

[@DTPandemonium]

wait, so the bone cage on that cemetery boss in act 1 wasnt rollable? lmao I just started 2 days ago after that roll patch and was wondering why it was such a free damage opening

[@leederlee]

the problem with the trials is, that its not optional. they are great as an endgame mechanic for those who want to engage with them. just give us ascendancy points after the act bosses. they are challanging enough and it does not lock you out of progression. adjusting those mechanics just for the fact that everyone has to do them once also could take away from the potential of those mechanics... again.. just dont lock ascendancys behind it. on ranger it was easy as hell on meele its basically impossible if not overleveling...

[@666slateran666]

Don't tell Ruri this, he thinks melee is easy because he's blocking all the time. As a two handed warrior who only occasionally blocks its tough

[@babamidebritto1729]

How do you lock on, on controller ?

[@MFewwy]

I I like PoE2 campaign, but the end game is pretty bad. 1)There is no chill gameplay in PoE2 so I won't play this game the same amount of hours I can play PoE1. I won't turn my PC on to play PoE2 after work, because I don't want to feel pressured and stressed out.. 2)I want my character to feel powerful and strong when I reach the endgame, but instead I have to be super careful and it brings only stress. Any monster can kill you, and some combination of rare monsters (like Hasted + Mana Syphoner) are just too strong. 3)1 death per map is too punishing, I paid for 6 portals, why can't I use them? My opinion: I would like to see the difficulty in endgame be shifted from regular monsters to bosses, so I can run maps without issues.

[@puxtbuck6731]

I've gone through the campaign with Monk and Ranger, and neither were all that difficult to me. I don't think I died more than three times to a single boss. And I never played POE 1 so idk why people think it's so hard. Like are people dying for hours on bosses? I feel like these people are just doing something wrong like not upgrading their gear enough. I just don't think it's anything like Dark Souls or anything.

[@ladnil]

I bet they change the shield charge thing.

[@Amatsuichi]

in maps there is a xp penalty for dying :)

[@Knights_of_the_Nine]

Gonna be honestly. PoE 1 is an old game with really old conventions. PoE 2 is just a better modern game. Being able to actually MOVE is so much better.

[@kalashydra9016]

1:07:27 people just wanted to get the drops/drop the 2 subs for the pet , its really not that deep (just lovest quality +mute on the stream lol)

[@TheCallmom]

It's great. Just wanna be able to make my Blood Mage a melee dark knight like character. But I don't believe its possible to do this and not brick the character. So just have my hex witch knight just sitting in act 2 with her fingers crossed. Maybe the templar abilities will have some unholy/death paladin stuff as well. Without having to go into the templar ascendancy. Since I need blood mage for my vampire roleplay lol. What's the point of this freedom if I can't melee/mage hybrid and still be viable late game.

[@666slateran666]

This guy needs to beat elden ring, it's the 🐐 imo

[@jakobrux5586]

You lose honour when you take damage. Thats it.

[@tthompson5707]

I have not gotten there yet but the trials being sanctum and ultimatum are annoying. Those are the two PoE1 leagues that I skipped because I found them too annoying.

[@kalashydra9016]

45:52 i think you schould get honor for killing enemies . like 1 honor for white trash mobs , 5 for blue and like 10-15 for rares

[@TheCallmom]

Honor system is trash. I had a good time with my necromancer. But on the 2 melee classes. U gotta hope for boons or perks from the vendor room to succeed.

[@ShivaX51]

The only that is truly terrible is the Trials imo, everything else is great. Numbers need some tweaking here and there, but overall it's amazing. The nice thing about PoE2 is that it's complex but intuitive. "I'm using Lightning, I should look for Lightning nodes." You can respec, though it gets a bit costly, it's an option. PoE1 got so complex and bloated that trying to do that basically never worked. Turns out the skill you picked got super nerfed and sucks. Also you can't really respec significantly.

[@andersanderson4234]

Where's Dwight Schrute?

[@christopherclayton5500]

Heyo!

[@Brillanty]

I agreed with loot buff and dodge changes but they went too far. I am a 2K hours poe 1 player and I love poe 2 my brain didn't get melted with the brain dead gameplay of poe 1 yet I can push 2 or 3 buttons it's like a kind of superpower.

[@666slateran666]

I have hundreds of hours in soulsborne games, I don't mind difficulty. But alot of stuff in PoE2 simply isn't balanced properly yet.

[@justin9744]

Disagree. People are just bad at making builds. The ONLY boss I think is overtuned is Blackjaw.

[@666slateran666]

@justin9744 bosses are fine, I'm struggling with certain mobs. Mostly on my warrior build, and now that I've gotten better equipment it helps but it's still rough doing melee. My merc and witch are much easier imo

[@LPJMANGA]

warrior so easy all i do is move and just rolling slam in the trials lol and boneshatter when low they all explodee

[@Gears2Game]

Great watch. lol. it's funny how it's pointed out people saying "don't tell me to go back to poe1" but at the same mouth they say "go back to your elden ring or other games." really made me laugh. the hipocrisy of some people. so true.

[@FryThighs]

fr i just want to shapeshift LOL

[@Nooctae]

Cool guest. For someone that does a lot of podcast tho, he's not the best at recognizing when it's time to let the other person talk. It's okay, I don't hold it against Tri, it's a hard skill to get, but it was felt quite a lot in this video.

[@OldGoat-cw8he]

From someone at endgame who knows how to make builds. Defensive investment beyond life and res on gear is a waste. You can decide for yourself if that's what you like. Passive tree build design is easy because there's not much life, res or movement speed on it. So it's just a matter of what offensive nodes you want. No defense or all defense the only difference is time to kill.
