Informative and succinct, well done!

As a witch that hit a hard wall two times this is what saved my build: 1- poe2 HEAVILY rewards sinergies. I see you use poison attack with skely snipers. Then get a way to detonate that cloud. The damage is gigantic even after nerf. you can use raging spirits, a single arsonist etc. 2- not all minions are equal. Some are more early game minions some are late game. The scorpion looking skellies really dropped in effectiveness in lategame. Spirits+ zombies, upgraded arsonists/ snipers are more suitable and scale up better. 3- for survivability dont be afraid to spec in strength for armor gear/ even use a shield. Shields are AWESOME. Allso in early game before raging spirit transition i sacrificed a sniper for arctic armor. Made me untouchable. Experiment. 4- look for +minion skill gear and runspeed on boots. Thats al you need. Keep minions at max upgrade. Conclusion- pure witch builds struggle, its true. You need to hybridize. Its clearly suggested by the game as one of the ascendacy choices is fire themed (and once you get it the game becomes easy mode). Think outside the stereotype. A heavy armor witch with a ton of strenght ( witch gives you alot of life and stamina) and wielding a massive shield is unkillable) and very easy on your hands gameplay wise. Hope this helps.

I believe Witch builds have changed since you posted this video. I too am a minion player and was a bit frustrated until I talked to a guildmate about how to build it. You need to go outside the Witch gems and pick up flame wall and raging spirits. For the last part of act 1 and into act 2 all I've needed to do is run around casting flame wall and let the raging spirits, 2 skelly warriors and 2 skelly arsonists do all the work. Once in a while for flavor I'll toss out a contagion but it really isn't necessary. I really struggled on my Ranger to beat the Mist King but this Witch build just cruised right through it.

I feel a lot of people are mentioning the eventual strength of minion builds disregarding the struggle at the start. I dont think anyone thinks it should be easy, but your minions being killed nearly upon respawn isnt very fun. A bit more survivability at the start, or no cooldown to recast would greatly help

Witch here, I had 0 problems. Craft for magic find and let the rares rain from the sky. 0 mf = 0 goods.

i beat the boss in act 1 with my minions after the 30th try mostly minion skills and curses

Are you still talking? jesus christ

best part about opinions is that the rest of us can know youre wrong while you can think youre right. works both ways so dont bother hating

Never played PoE1 (well beyond like 2 hours) but PoE2 has been right up my alley. Witch was my first class and although I've had some struggle moments, most of it was due to wasting crafting resources. I've since made 2 more characters who have beat Act 1 and my Witch is in Act 3. I don't think the necromancer spin on witch is bad, mine wipes mobs really fast. Contagion usually killing every mob on screen. The issue mine has is that if there's no corpses in a boss fight to turn into minions, then she gets targeted and dies in 1 or 2 hits. But otherwise is great. I think people just need time (and the new loot drop update) to get used to the game....and dont throw away skill gems like I did on my first run.

I usually main minions. Trying bombard Merc for first solo character and Ranger for co-op with my wife so can't speak for minion builds but my experience has been challenging but not unfair. Boss attack telegraphs need learning and can lead to a few deaths for sure. I can imagine minions get wiped fairly easily though with many bosses doing attacks that leave 80-90% of the arena covered in fire/ice/poison/etc. Wit the auto-revive + temp minions are GGG trying to move minions to be a little more transient maybe vs the near-unkillable armies that we could make in PoE1? I.e. bosses are expected to wipe them and the Summoner sort of then does on 'cooldown' for a time? Doesn't sound ideal if that's the case. Summoner was going to be my next character so I'm praying they get made viable!

The losing gear on the floor sux my zones be resetting fast f*ck boy

Btw, multiple streamers have infernalists and they are bonkers. The ascendancy is overall A tier, you probably didnt advance much like they did. It genuinely looks insane. Ghazzy made srs, kripp is playing arsonists.

Idk about necromancer getting the short end of the stick... In terms of power its probably underwhelming for now, but the design is perfect. Poe1 necro was the most boring thing ever. Tree was the same everytime and you didnt have much options to go into. Now even if the minions are underwhelming due to EA balancing, you can still use them with ed + contagion or ignite. So they can act as supports and you play as a spellcaster. There is so much to do now, you dont have to be a dedicated minion class. Thats probably the reason why they removed necromancer as a class, a witch should use minions to do her bidding regardless what her plan is. And its more fun and interesting. I started witch and died 60 times, reached lvl 15 then soft quit, but thats not because minions were bad per say, I wasnt familiar with the new environment. As a poe1 veteran I thought I can cruise through or dodge mecanics easily. Yesterday I restarted witch and im 0 deaths at the same level, minions are definitelly super op if used corectly. And the corect use is not to rely on them, thats probably the mistake devs did on poe1 with minions and maybe they tried to teach players now to use them as an avenue for something else. Right now I stick with the ed contagion and the minions are simply just blocking attacks for me or proliferating contagion. And another thing, I thought the third witch ascendancy will be ed contagion minion dedicated, because I saw our curent witch ascendancy artwork. So if this artwork is for regular witch, then we could probably get necromancer as the third ascendancy, where she goes all in on minions. Idk, we'll see.

After I switched to combination of skeleton archer + flamewall-raging spirits I have no issues with dmg or bosses even. Main idea is to put a flamewall-circle, and spam into it poison cloud(gas) which immedialtly blown up dealing massinve damage while archers are killing all. that is it ^^ I love it. I rly like Witch how it is in POE2, also thinking of another build possible, but that is in future (some chaos+physics manupulation) hehe for now I'm blowing up everything. :D By the way challenging bosses and mini-bosses are ovesome!! They fill more require to yuor skill rather then gear comparing to POE or other ARPG. I hope they can keep it as is for upcaming patchins and game improvements.

Excellent balanced first impressions. That boss who shall remain unnamed...ooof that was ROUGH

Thank you so much, I'd have never figgured this out through normal gameplay

My main character gained innate talents. I got Nimble Movement and Strong Physique from running around a lot, not sure if that's a coincidence. And I got this talent, crisis response, after I getting beaten up by a group and barely surviving a few times. So I have been looking to see if there's a way to get specific talents and how talents work on the main body. I haven't played the game in a while and just started a new game. Is there a video explaining that or is the main body really similar to npcs? Also thanks for the informative video, I wasn't aware of the losing talents part ;)

Great video, thanks!

Short, sweet, and to the point. Gotta love tip videos like this. Even learned a few things. I've been going after the lowest level guys possible and then manually leveling them up figuring that the high level ones would miss the chance to lose negative traits. Who knew I was crippling my guys by doing extra work?

Thank you.

Thanks for covering, we are on working hard on fixing as much bugs as possible :)

Excellent content Tiia !!! I Love your delivery and your voice is soooo cute 😘 Good luck on your subscriber goal + 1 from me😋

Pvp is for idiots

It all depends on what you are after. The quality doesn't really matter for crafters. Just captured green quality ( 2nd lowest) flint master crafter NPC lvl17 and to my surprise hi have proficiency in weapons crafting 25/125 and armour crafting 25/123 with mean he have 2 most desirable crafting proficiency going beyond 120 LV ... Which is great and being from the flint tribe hi can acquire weapons and armour crafting perks ...

Not slaves haha. You just acquire them be beating them to inches of their life then whammying them with psychic power.

New with today's update, we can tell them to craft until there is a certain amount in inventory :D :D :D

Yup the update looks dope

Can't wait for the update. Shwing!

Hello how to use mask ability I press tap V nothing happen please answer me

I just want to be able to max my characters stats out, I find that fun.

Ah yes, the Yeet Method

Tia from the 20 vids your the only one showing its location , thank you !.. appriciate your work you put in your vids 😉

I agree. The changes for the main take the soul out of soulmask. Talking about official

So wait, does the quality of the animal depend on if they can have attachments or not?

Lets play together.. if you want to..

To kill frog of doom easily just use spear. I used steel spear and my spear skill was at 70. All the way close combat. Target belly. Dont run away from boss, stay close to avoid ranged combat.

I want auto door closers :)

Can you do the same kind of video for the vulcano region?

Is viable to use bow to kill the Boss?

1) there are 2 others or followers so it is NOT solo and b) you can only have 1 follower so you are a cheat because i can clearly see you and 2 others

Grtz with the mask! I got it as well in the same dungeon after quite some attempts, not fixed yet.....

Are the time amounts you put in those 'circle craft' screen shots the time interval and amounts you use? We are having a hard time figuring out how often to produce what. The flow chart is great, but the timing of the circle crafts gets so confusing. Overall AMAZING video!

I hope it stays passive and not attack while you mount on it. Would be annoying for beginners.

I had my first raid 2 days ago and failed on the scout as well (tells you the spawn location so you know the direction the come). If you get the scout and know the spawn point you can tunnel them towards your door with barricades over a path full with iron/steel peg boards, works like a charm. I didn't know a direction so I placed a LOT of peg boards, the elites didn't stand a chance.

i had 2 brown llamas, male and female, the female one is seems bugged, she never do any interaction like auto follow, can't be called, can't attached to hitching rod, even can't change behaviour, is it just bug or female llama cant do much thing than male one?

How to get lvl 60. I only reached level 55 at the max

why is my one Llama giant?

Thank you! You're the BEST!

Soooo you play stuff dont you

I just beat this guy for the first time yesterday. It was a fun challenge.
