from where did this past come ?

New to this game and I want to go with a standard 2hand Warrior type character, like Marauder, but as a female instead. Can I just make a Ranger and use the appropriate build/weapons instead? If so, is it practical or am I gimping myself?

From chaos, order

>>168832630
You can.

marauder is if anything, one of the least effective "pure melee" classes

I only play female characters, especially witch, because I like to self-insert.

>>168832821
>Marauder is if anything, one of the least effective "pure melee" classes

Interesting to read, can you go into a bit more detail about this?

self insert this

*unzips groin*

I only play Witch because she is my waifu, and it's a MAN's duty to control his woman.

The ranger area of the tree is more suited for 1h nimble dex weapons like rapiers

You want to play a 2h sword female warrior, you need to play Scion

>>168832916

marauder can do spells caster/totem builds pretty well, melee totem, bow builds (including bow totems) fine too.

But going pure melee its comparatively worse than duelist or ranger, unless you are building some very specific shit as poison bserker

I see I'd need to unlock Scion, so I'd rather just use Ranger as my pure melee. As a starting player, is there any 2h build you'd recommend me taking? I'll likely re-roll another character, but I'd like to experience the core game first and hit max level. I'm not really trying to do anything crazy, just enjoy what PoE has to offer starting off and then have a max level character to fund any later characters I wish to make.

>they still make people unlock scion
I honestly forgot that was a thing.

Irrelevant for a beginner.

Why people with experience of end game try to apply their logic and knowledge to someone so new they can't even pick up their first class is beyond me. A complete beginner needs to stick to the basics, e.g. if you want to play a spellcaster, pick the Witch, if you want to play a big dude who smash heads with big maces, pick Marauder, if you want to play a ranged hunter, pick Ranger.

Going for an esoteric build requires either knowledge or currency, two things a beginner doesn't possess. For the purpose of building a "2h warrior" which is also female, Scion is the most natural choice, with early access to melee damage, attack speed and either the Duelist or Marauder areas for tankiness.

There is nothing useful in the Ranger area past Finesse for 2h weapons so it implies going straight to the Duelist area and wasting a lot of travelling points, thus gimping yourself which is only magnified when you're new and every point counts.

You are a retarded idiot.

Ranger Raider and Pathfinder are generic classes FAR from "esoteric" that just do melee better than marauder does

Duelist Slayer too, but xhe asked for a girl char.

And scion is a fucking outdated deadend

>>168834558
If you're reasoning in terms of ascendancies, you're already way past the point of being helpful to a beginner. Dude has a 50% chance to quit after Brutus, so get off your high horse and get some perspective. The best course for him is to stick to an easy beginner build and unlock Scion if he really wants to play 2h melee female warrior, then he can reroll again once he ascends and realize he gets nothing as a Scion but that's a big if. There are like 50 steps in-between you're assuming he completes.

>>168834852

>the best course for a beginner is to put hours on a shit class and realize xhe NEEDS to reroll because some scionfag gave him the wrong advice

>>168834260
>>168834852
Ok, clearly I'm making things way more complicated than I need to. What I'll do is start off with Marauder, follow a basic, generic build, unlock Scion, and take it from there.

Once Scion is unlocked I'll try to figure out who's better for 2H gameplay between the two. I don't know which of you two is correct.

>>168835297
its silly to expect hitting max level on your first char

just play until you want to try something else or feel like uninstalling

>"I want to play a spellcaster, what do you guys recommend? Is Witch any good?"
>DUDE JUST PLAY A PATHFINDER BLADE VORTEX CRIT LL SKYFORTH WITH VINKTAR TOH RUMIS IF YOU PLAY ANYTHING ELSE ITS GOING TO BE DOGSHIT AND YOU WONT HIT LEVEL 100 AS FAST AS ME

>>168835108
Yes, because the early optimization for a beginner is far more important than anything else an ascendancy would give. You cannot use the same reasoning for someone asking for end game advice and someone who will most likely quit before level 40.

>>168835432
I just want whichever is better for 2H gameplay between Ranger and Scion, that's literally it. I don't know who's right or wrong, so I'll just play with Marauder until I unlock Scion and hopefully will have the answer then.

>>168835297

Scion right is now is the LEAST popular class/ascendancy for a reason

but do whatever you want

>>168835558
That's correct, tho.
Self-cast Casters are so much weaker than anything else right now that outside Essence Drain, it's literally pointless to go generic Caster anything.

PoE is a bandwagon game, because it's too complicated for dumb people to reason about.

>>168835625
Scion is shit, go Ranger. Fair warning that Ranger is not good for 2handing shit, duelist is better.

>>168835625
Classes in Path of Exile are not tied to archetypes. You can do basically anything you want with enough experience and currency. Spellcaster marauders, melee rangers, ranged witches even, anything you can afford.

Scion as the central class of the tree can do anything naturally, but lacks the specialization other classes can offer. As a beginner this is not relevant to you though, since your first few builds will be bad no matter what. It's better to pick the class that lessens the magnitude of your mistakes for a given archetype, you can't really fuck up a Scion if you go for a generic 2h archetype because you have early access to relevant 2h clusters.

For example as a Scion you can get melee damage, melee damage, a lot of life, attack speed, and that gives you a strong start already.

As a Ranger your best path for 2handers is some life, a bit of attack speed, and then nothing else for another 10 levels. You're going to feel weak and it's not going to help you if you don't have the gear to make up for it. So the class is not really suited for leveling with 2handers although end game that can be a solid option.

>>168835795
>Self-cast Casters are so much weaker than anything else right now that outside Essence Drain, it's literally pointless to go generic Caster anything.
Everything about this sentence is wrong.

>>168836517
Totem Caster is outright better than Self-cast variance for 90% of applicable builds.

>>168836658
How about trap caster?

>>168836337
Scion leveling with generic 2h melee into warchief totems is going to be a hell lot more efficient than some Ranger who doesn't get anything special until normal lab and even then nothing really defining, not to mention all the wrong gems for 2h melee. Have you people ever raced in your life?

>>168836847
Only is really viable for Bladefall Occultist currently.
Spells that are locked to Traps work fine for Trappers, but Spells with Trap supports, not so much for most.

>>168836873
>Have you people ever raced in your life?

>moving the goalpost to "racing"
hehe

so now you want a newbie to race?

>>168835558
>>168836362
If I understand you correctly, Scion is better by default than Ranger for 2H, but if I actually learn the game and how Ascendancy works/have funds then Ranger becomes the better for a 2H build?

>>168836337
Duelist may be better, but the point is that I wanted a female character to go 2H with, and right now the current debate is which is better for that purpose between Scion and Ranger. From what I'm understanding Scion is better by default for 2H and easier for a beginner like me, but Ranger becomes better later on.

>>168836517

>need items for every status ailment

>>168837004
It highlights a point I've made earlier, which is that ease of access to "natural" build archetypes is far more important than some late game advantage you get once ascendancies and 80+ points are taken into account.

If your 2 requirements are
2h melee
Female

Then Scion is far superior to Ranger as a starter class and you're only arguing for the sake of arguing.
Natural gem rewards, stronger start, doesn't have to wait until ascendancy to get relevant melee bonuses, etc.

If it can't work in racing, then it can't work outside for a beginner, pretty simple.
Just because there are viable spellcaster marauder builds doesn't mean you recommend it to a beginner.

>>168837035
Correct but since typically beginners don't reach the point where late game specializations start to matter, you should stick with the class which offers the strongest early power for your given archetype, in this case the Scion

>>168837371

not only pretending newbies race is pointless and retarded, but plenty ranger starter gems are usable on a 2h build

Templar Guardian

>>168837614
>>168837808

I'm about to flip the script entirely now actually. When I think about it, going through the effort of making a Scion 2H, when I know Ranger would be better eventually when I inevitably get better at the game and more funds, would kinda kill the prospect of having to re-roll into said Ranger. Honestly, I think I'll avoid 2H and Melee entirely and just roll with something different entirely.

I think I'll go with witch and just be a spellcaster. Seems like it'd be a good choice for a beginner, I can stay ranged and nuke shit from afar.

>>168838068
that is me in the picture btw

>>168837808
>not only pretending newbies race is pointless and retarded
I never pretended that, you have reading comprehension issues. The logic that applies in racing (early game optimization, builds that are optimized following gem rewards) also applies far more to beginners than your rambling about ascendancies and their merits. People dislike racing because it's the most boring part of the game, but the point is that's it's also the most crucial part of the game for beginners because it decides whether they stick with the game or quit because they spent 10 levels for +10 stat nodes that are useless for their build.

>but plenty ranger starter gems are usable on a 2h build
Name them. If you're going to recommend muling gems and buying twink gear to make the leveling part bearable, then maybe your advice isn't so good after all.

>and i cant in good conscience recomend the worst class in the game to a newb
That's because you're the real noob here. Your knowledge of end game is in no way relevant in this context and you lack the perspective to put yourself in the shoes of a new player.

There are currently only 4 Act Bosses, they mark the finale of each Act.
Major Bosses include Act Bosses and any other Bosses that are required that you kill to reach end-game.

But that's far too much work, even if it were just a few retextures for something you won't even see under your actual gear.

I agree, balance issues aside, ascendancies changed the game entirely for the better. Labyrinth is still annoying but I'm glad you only have to do the trials once per league now.

Why is act 4 so bullshit, you have to be incredibly lucky to avoid these kinds of RNG deaths OR have practiced the boss fight 100x so you know exactly how each of the bosses skills behave, which isn't something you have the opportunity to do when you only play hardcore

>>168848913
I completely disagree, daresso has huge damage spikes that are far harder to dodge than any of the others you mentioned. everyone else can be facetanked or easily dodged if your build is optimized.

flask management has literally nothing to do with your preexisting knowledge or experience with the fight

cant take someone's complaint seriously when I see them with full flasks upon death

unironically learn to use a quicksilver or at the very least use the highest tier of life flasks

>>168848967
Nigga I don't have 50 regret orbs sitting around when I just created a character in league for the first time

If leveling with ES is so hard then that's a balance problem that should have been addressed at this time now 5000 years after launch

>>168849219
I made the mistake of picking a life flask in act 1 because I assumed I'd just be able to get or buy a quicksilver later. Did not see another quicksilver for the entirety of the difficulty, checked vendors a lot.

I popped two flasks on reaction to my shield dropping down, as far as I remember using multiple flasks does not stack the regen effect. Forgot to use the dodge flask because it is so shit anyway 10% chance to dodge would not have saved me there. Those were the highest tier of flasks that were dropping. Might have been able to buy one tier up but I didn't think I'd need to since I almost never even dropped my energy shield.

every death is a learning experience in hardcore

if you can't deal with that reality, stay in softcore

>>168850740
I've been playing since launch and that's the shortest time it's taken me to level. Usually 2 weeks to hit maps. I don't know how you go fast. I try to go fast and I just don't have the damage or the survivability to make it through the acts, so I have to grind areas until good gear drops, which takes a very long time usually.

It might take you 3 days if you only play a couple of hours a day.

I don't have friends to beat bosses for me like steamers do

neither do i you retard, you don't need people to beat bosses for you to level quickly

fuck bosses aren't even the longest parts of levelling probably, i'd argue just general inventory management and layout knowledge is way more important

but i guess you don't even know how to read The Coast layouts am i right??

i leveled as a wander on garena with 4 gorillion ping in one night when they had that patch before us
which friend do you think i needed to kill bosses for me

>>168852150
Hmm I still level a new char in like 10 hours to maps with no currency. I maybe buy 2-3 levelling uniques costing me around ~5c along the way though.

>>168851759
>so I have to grind areas until good gear drops
You don't want to level with gear-dependent builds.
Sure, a firestorm/bladefall totems/etc build will benefit a lot from having lifesprigs or other good leveling uniques, but you can still easily drag your way through the game SSF.

So, I feel like I hit the wall as HoWaA Raider.
I feel like the only way to progress is either is getting rid of Unwavering Stance

>>168852840
What builds are gear independent?

>>168853157
Anything attack-based is going to be the absolute worst since you'll need good weapons.
Stuff like firestorm, bladefall totems, various mine/trap builds, freezing pulse, all can level fairly well with little to no need for gear, and then you just re-spec at 70-ish.

one-handed attack builds are more cancerous to level than two-handed attack builds

>SSF shitters actually need a LEAGUE to play SSF

Lmao. You bandwagoning cucks could have been playing like this since day one but just want to virtue signal how "hardcore" you are for hitting your head against a wall.

So let's say I'm kinda new to the game. Been playing on and off since the closed beta way back before 1.0 and only now decided to pick it up seriously since the next expansion looks interesting. I'm currently running a templar, but one of the old builds I was using was with ice nova. Is that sort of thing still viable?

>>168853938
No. It's a global affix, which you can stack across multiple pieces of gear. That means it doesn't apply to the gem directly, which would be one of the ways which it could apply to a minion. If the affix were to appear on a shield, then it could be given to them through Necromantic Aegis.

I miss the slave girls UI. We're getting Solaris-chan but still. Lunaris is shit btw.

Straight from the item:

Look, like I said, you lot all fuckin overlook it. Mock me all ye like, it works wonders for my setup

Reminder that he could have used Doryani's and picked Singularity for his next level Vortex build.

>>168860503
Inc. damage against hindered enemies =/= hindered enemies take inc. damage.
The former is an Inc. modifier to your damage.
The latter is an Inc. modifier to damage taken.
The former works normally.
The latter acts like a % more modifier.

>>168862006

>>168863918

>>168864094
Right that's what i'm doing, but I'm curious at what point it becomes worth to go hybrid instead of stretching out for pure life or es

>>168864203
if you go hybrid it usually means you're doing shit like EB/MoM/etc. and having a many layered defense. But as far as whether and when it's strictly "worth it" to go hybrid, I would say that's a mistaken formation of the question. You're generally going to sink a lot of currency into going hybrid or CI, so it's a matter of preference, or if you notice that your skill tree is already branching in a lot of directions. There was a very successful BV berserker that went hybrid in bhc, for example.

most of the doujins in the packs are from X-Eros, Kairakuten and Shitsarukuten. ie collections of release from various artists.

tanks are individual releases by a certain artists that fakku bought and redistributed sometimes with extras/higher resolutions

Really early, like up to A3, pretty often until you get a full set of Rares.
A4 through A4 Cruel, not nearly as much unless you feel you need a Socket upgrade and can afford a shit rare or find a decent Rare with better stats than what ya got.

>>168860849

Buy some cheap leveling uniques from poe.trade

>>168868165
Sockets and mods are the only ways.
Generally, more HP, Resists, Stat bonuses, and if going ES or Eva, Defense bonuses, are the mods you usually wanna look for. (skip Hp is ES-based, not advised for new players)
And then sometimes you give up decent stats for good sockets.
Towards early Merciless/when you hit 68/70, you'll wanna visit poe.trade and get a bunch of stuff to kit out your character to survive in the harsh environment.

>>168870389
Alright. And again, Skill gems are the only things that go into item sockets, correct? Jewels are strictly for your passive skill tree, yes? The two terms are a bit confusing to me because they're so similar.

>>168870502
Correct.
Jewels are for Tree, Gems are for Gear.
Helmets, Gloves, and Boots can have up to 4 sockets.
2-handed Weapons and Chestpieces can have up to 6 (item level of 35+ for 5 sockets max on any gear piece and 50+ for 6 sockets), 1-handed weapons and shields can have up to 3.
Quivers can have up to 0, Belts and Amulets (excluding a special Talisman) can have up to 0 as well.
Rings can have up to 1.
Talismans are also an exclusive object to the Talisman League, so you don't need to worry about those.

I'm assuming the PoE wiki shows where/how to obtain specific skill gems/Jewels?

>>168871081
i think the divine thing might be misleading

the only thing they've said is you can divine shit ones to get their buffed versions

it might not be true for legacy face breakers for example

>>168871291
Yes.

You can see all the ones you can normally gain here.
The ones you can't gain can be found from Forsaken masters (Catarina, Haku, etc.)

So let's say there's a build I want to follow that needs a specific skill gem that I can't get from vendors or quest rewards due to the class I'm playing. I can get said gems from Forsaken Masters? Or are said Forsaken Masters said vendors?

>>168871775
Forsaken masters are not the Vendors on that page.
They're the female in each Act that sells you Orbs and shit.
You have 3 options: guarantee gem access by levelling another character, rolling the dice with Forsaken Masters, or buying them from other players.

>>168871775
The forsaken masters are these guys you find while you're outside of towns, if you do one of their little "quests" for them then you gain reputation and after the first one with each of them they go back to town and become vendors.

Can we just stop enabling new players? those should flip off back to r*ddit

>>168871775
gems also drop randomly from mobs. most basic skill gems are relatively common drops.

>>168872129
Why would new players ever be a bad thing? come on man

drive all new players away before they nerf your builds

solo self fellatio players must leave this general immediately

Anyone here who still hasn't ascended to medium core needs to nys immediately

by encouraging this welfare culture where no question is stupid enough to be left unanswered, you slowly drag the level of the general to the shitter

Any of you guys tried a sorching ray totem build? is the AI on the scorching ray totem at least good enough to be viable? I know they wont be as good as say, just flame totems but will they work or is the AI not good enough?

Friendly reminder that chinkpoe has already implemented single-key multiflask binding because slants do care about QoL

What's the worst element for casters right now? Cold? I need garbage meme builds to sustain me.

>>168872812

>>168872812
Aren't there some decent ice nova crit builds or something

>>168872812
cold has scaling problems they can almost always be fixed, and vortex is really strong even if you dont

lightning spells are shit right now

ball lightning isn't shit
shock nova is shit tho
