As of now, I just feel that the spell totem support downside is too harsh. With ballista totem, we get +2, and also another potential +2 on the tree. With spell totem, you are always force to play hiero (or scion) for +1, and multiple totem becomes mandatory further reducing the damage, that it is just a QOL to summon 2 totems rather than a damage boost.

Hopefully, spell totems get some love in 3.30 or future leagues with some of the following implemented.

• Less punishing damage and cast speed for spell totem.
• +1 totem to spell totem support.
• Give Soul Mantle back its +1 totem.
• More avenues to get to 100% chance to summon 2 totems instead of multiple totem.

(Mastery 30% is just not reliable).

• You cannot have more than 3 Summoned Totems of the same type for Cadigan's Authority.
• +1 to spell totem wheel on tree.

PoE 2 addict trying PoE 1 and having trouble with Pohx’s Righteous Fire Chieftain build.

After reaching level 90+ I’ve been unsure what direction to go with the build, as well as having survivability and damage issues.

I see other variants of the build using energy shield or using other uniques rather than what Pohx has in the build. What would be the best direction for damage and survivability especially considering I’ve felt very poor so far and I’m not sure the best way of making currency in this game.

Was originally aiming to complete a majority of the challenges to get some of the cosmetics, but i’m starting to think I don’t know enough of this games mechanics or that I won’t be able to get strong enough to get them done in time for league end.

A few days ago I posted on Reddit answering questions about aurabotting, and ended up compiling the most common things people kept asking about party play in general. That turned into writing an actual guide.

Right now the compendium is about 50% done - it covers how party play works in PoE, what to expect going in, where and how to find/work with carries, and the fundamentals of building an aurabot.

What's still missing: PoBs, leveling, and endgame farming strategies. That part is taking longer than I expected, because I don't want to just dump finished PoBs without context. An aurabot can be built a dozen different valid ways depending on budget and carry type — if I hand you a finished build with variants and no explanation, you can copy it, but you won't understand why it's set up that way, how to upgrade it step by step, or what to swap to make it cheaper or stronger. That part needs to be done right, not fast.

Happy to answer questions in the comments, and I'll keep updating the doc as the rest gets finished.

Salutations Exiles, I am looking for a Noob anywhere from 25-250 hours (little more/little less is ok) who is looking to get better at the game. I want to help someone who struggles in white maps get to uber bosses.

I will babysit you, answer questions, fix your pob, teach you a little about how to farm things, from league start until I quit the league.

I will give you nothing other than the knowledge on how to succeed, Zero items will be provided, not a single chaos.

My Credentials: I have 4500~ish hours played (my friend group has 25k~ hours) and I like farming a mageblood in the first week or so only to make a build that can't use one. (I have also killed every uber, because that one guy was talking shit so I had to include it)

Requirements: be 20+, don't be a weird chud, play more than 30 minutes per week, that's about it

If there are a lot of you I might be able to do more than one but I also gotta have time to play the game

Finished my challenges so i double corrupted my best craft this league. poofed my 1st vaal axe with t1 prefixes but that one didnt have the elder suffix mods

Yes, that's right!

I'm working most weekends. Not all, but most. And as luck wills it, the last league i was free for a couple days at launch was Legion in 2019!

Since then, each and every league in PoE and PoE2 EA was when i'm working anywhere between 8 and 12h saturday and sunday. I do play the opening weekend. But get at most like 8 or 10h in from friday evening till monday afternoon. At my pace nowadays, just enough to be somewhere close to 2 stones.
Then i am free for 2 days and i do make it up, but it's not the same.

This one, the 3.30, is the first one since Legion i am FREE for the weekend. I will live the thrill of the launch, all the server issues, bugs and the race to get "ahead of the curve"...
I come home from work a bit before the launch and then work monday afternoon!!
My wife is going to her parents with our daughter. Everything lined up so perfectly after so long...

I am gona teenage no life the league start and i'm soooo excited about that!

There, just wanted to share that!

I've been playing Poe On and off for about 15 years. I tried poe 2 but didn't like it, compared to PoE 1 theres never been a game comparable for me. I'm still a noob after all this time, I think my Main account maxes out at like 3m dps in standard. But I still love running around and whacking monsters. To this day I still haven't beaten several of the bosses but the game is still great.

TL/DR: You can't sell legacy currencies on faustus or put them into async tabs since the beginning of this league (was working fine before)

I understand that most people here only play leagues so this could be irrelevant to you but i still want to get some more visibility on this issue:

Before curse of the allflame released you could sell legacy currencies by using the asyinc trade tabs, since they were not present in the currency exchange (this wasn't ideal because of stack limits of normal tabs but was ok).

During (and after) the "Tota" event GGG decided to add all legacy tattoos to the currency exchange and disable the ability to sell them with async tabs.

This worked fine during the event and between the end of the event and the beginning of the current league, but since then all legacy currencies have lost their gold value and instead show a "?", preventing you from listing them from trade.

This would not be an issue if you could list them inside merchant tabs like before, but that is no longer possible.

It would be nice if at least the old functionality was restored.

Thanks for reading and have a nice day.

Super happy with how this turned out. Art from the divination card Matryoshka

ProliferateMyBrothers predates Ascendancies, when Act 4 was just a twinkle in Chris Wilson's eye. He was originally a Cold Snap + Fire Trap proliferation Elemental Equilibrium abuser, holding down Ledge parties by perma freezing Kuduku while the other members stood in awe wondering why nothing was moving. He survived the days of ?oos and went on to farm many Merciless Fellshrines until ready for maps. I can't remember actually doing any maps with him though.

He now resides in Hardcore League. Never attempting to make it past Act 4, he has retired and lives out a stallion's life in Highgate where he tries to chat up Kira and tell her about the good old days.

Hello guys, i am fairly new into poe in general and i just finished campaign on my 2nd character in the league and i wonder what should i do. On my first character i finished atlas so levels came naturally but obviously my atlas is all finished now. I am level 64 right now and i wonder whether i should just run maps to level up, or maybe do some farms but i have reservations about that because i will need to run low level maps right?

Do you have any tips for me?
