Hey, just picked this up finally a few days ago and I’m loving it so far. I’ve played Diablo and a bit of Torchlight but never PoE. So there’s a few things that are a little confusing to me but I’m enjoying it. I’m near the end of the campaign or at least I think I am. Playing a lich so far, I’ve tried out a shaman, paladin, and runemaster. But lich and shaman are my favorite so far.
I’m trying not to follow any guides so far. I’ve looked at a few to get ideas but I’m trying to just enjoy the leveling. I think I respec too often though. I keep running out of money trying to shatter things, respec, and buying stash tabs.
I don’t have much more to say just saw the community and it was pretty quiet so I figured I’d make a post, see if people are around and maybe find some people to ask questions to if there’s anyone watching the community here.
What’s your build? I’m happy to make some suggestions! I will say, for a first character the merchants guild is much stronger, but once you have some gold from selling items, you should be able to buy some decent gear. Eventually you’ll have decent gold for stash tabs and whatnot, and shards for forging, then the circle can be more fun on a second character. Note that any item tagged with a guild can’t be used by a character outside that guild.
Poison damage is in a weird place but it can work. If your main damage is damage over time, don’t forget that’s another modifier, so get that buff as well for even more damage!
