Can someone recomend me a good youtuber for builds that explains them well. For last epoch i go to action rpg. The youtuber called Aaron explains his builds so wel that thx to him i have a deep understanding of the game. It would be nice to find a channel dedicated to poe2 like that.
Just a reminder to all, GGG are announcing the new update for POE2 March 27th on twitch. More relevantly, loot drops are enabled for the announcement on twitch so free cosmetics for your characters.
I'm going to jump in and watch and get my prize and see if it works in POE1. if it does, then i pretty much have a full house of cosmetics to deck out my character, barring maybe an odd potion here and there. linky here
The drop on offer:

just more POE2 news, As we know the new content has dropped in POE2, twitch are giving more drops. This time its the Azmeri Noble Deer pet. Remember you can take 2 as companions, so if you want another to your collection (like i do) start watching. Or do what i do, open a separate web browser, reduce the quality to low and do something else.
strangely the poe2 homepage doesn't mentioned anything about the twitch drop. Makes me wonder what else i missed out when it comes to twitch drops...
For 15 minutes of watching, its a steal. I have a fair few pets and most of the challenge rewards were small-medium.

I did not notice that it also record stats (deaths/kills/K/D)! That is pretty cool for a free skin. Thanks a bunch @Johnway!

This just in, and I have a feeling you are going to like it. We already have the cloak and the staff

Come to think of it, I see POE players like Zizaran already online, so perhaps what you could do, if of interest, is to just have the stream page up, and you can just go to bed and not worry about it. Hopefully, that should make you able to get the Twitch drop.

Finally, after 8 SSFHC deaths in Path Of Exile 2, I beat the campaign and am through to the interlude and towards endgame mapping.
SSF (solo self-found) means you can only get items from mob loot, what you craft, or NPCs. You play alone, so you can't trade with players.
HC in SSFHC stands for Hardcore, which means you only have one life, and if you die, you will get removed from the Hardcore league.
It's been fun finding my own build and learning a bit more about how to grow my character, especially looking at finding the balance between defence and offence. I died a couple of times to the last final Act 4 boss (20-30 hours into the game) and while it hurt losing my characters, it also makes me better.
If you take a look at my screenshot, you'll see that I have almost maxed out in all resistances (90% is the cap) and decent enough armour and evasion. So while I have OK damage from my spells, it is mainly the defence that keeps me going.
I play as a battlemage type, using cold spells for freeze damage and putting mobs in a frozen state is both fun and helpful in preventing too much damage. I also got something called Iron Ward with bleed that explodes in physical damage for a % of the damaged I migitated, while also putting a bleed stack on the enemies. Pretty cool buff that makes me less squishy when surrounded by enemies.
From the first screenshot, you can see my battlemage, but also one of my other SSFHC characters who unfortunately died. I keep him around to test out different boss mechanics; the other ones that died, I manually deleted.
It is incredibly fun to play on SSFHC, because each new character means another adventure with new items that could completely change how I want to play my character. In my latest run, I started as a lightning battlemage, but got a very good staff for cold damage, so I completely changed up my playstyle to complement it.

Maybe not as punishing overall, but if you play it as instadeath, I'd say that is not far from the truth. You could always play the "dead" character on Softcore League (unlimited lives), but I feel a big chunk of the fun of the game goes away, since you don't feel the risk of dying.
For me there is something scary about knowing death could be around the corner and that you have to pay attention. It is the same feeling I had while doing honor mode in BG3, only that in BG3 it takes way longer to get to finish the campaign, but the tradeoff is that BG3 is less complex and got a lot of utilities that make most of the fights less dangerous, like haste potions, greater invisibility, terrain spells like fleet and then you have the all mighty invulnerability dome.
