Looks like Eldritch Battery will be changed for early access, and also ES got changed a bit in Poe 2 according to Charcter panel: Chaos damage removes twice as much energy shield and damage from bleeding and poison bypasses Energy shield to remove life directly. So probably going with Chaos Inoculation, and letting MoM keep me alive vs Bleeds.
I am glad to hear that Jordi, Il make a short video in a day or two that summarizes all information I gathered on Poe 2 so far, including tools people can use to plan their builds, il put more effort in to it so hopefully you like that one as well.
I am glad, it seems like everyone noticed the same thing on sorceress, but it looks like Eldritch Battery ES to Mana conversion will be changed. So guess I am sticking to my original plan: Sorc with ES/Mana scaling, double layer of defense and legit dmg as well.
I think darkness monk was designed with the assumption people will use MoM with it as you only lose darkness if you would have otherwise lost life or ES, not mana. Though quite how you scale mana on a melee class you want dexterity on is another matter. Though the leech node simply states "mana leech is instant" so perhaps dark monk is a low key chaos caster in disguise.
Yes but if that was the case, you would still have 2 issues. Issue number 1 MOM: All Damage is taken from Mana before Life, but damage is dealt to Energy shield first. So you wouldn't be able to build ES without losing darkness on hit if that was the case, and issue number 2 is that we still don't know if spells will be able to leech. Only instance of spell leech I saw so far is 10% of Spell Damage Leeched as Life from Ascendancy: Blood Mage.
@@paulc5389 Yes, but what I'm trying to say is that Energy Shield gets priority on damage taken, so if you have any energy shield and you get hit, it will be deduced from ES first. So it would also remove darkness right? And if you decided to convert all ES to mana, and go for caster monk, then acolytes Mana leech also recover Energy shield Node becomes pointless right? Besides also not having any confirmed sources of spell leech even being in the game as of yet.
@@paulc5389 Well yea but we still don't know what other node after Embrace does. Who knows it might be really good. But I was mainly interested in Acolyte for leeching mechanics with Mana/ES synergy and if there is no way to leech mana with spells then whole caster monk would feel just like a worse version of sorc to me, but I guess we'll have to wait and see what other nodes do to make an informed decision.
Hell yea, it has way more endgame content, it has a lot more build variety and they tuned down complexity a bit so it is more beginner friendly now, so it's perfect time to get in to Poe.
you really dont get how many asecndancy points you'll get right?... there're nodes that werent disclosed but im pretty sure its gonna be 8 points, so you cant get all that. I guess we all've seen mana and ES are overpowered, so Monk yeah.
elemental invocation looks dope, you might want to check it out for your build if you go sorc. I'm linking it with eye of winter for instant trash clear.
@@chrishayes5755 I am lucky, could have lost the entire hand ahaha. But that actually sounds interesting chill/freeze + time freeze could give nice windows for free dps. i just wonder how will time freeze work on bosses, I assume reduced duration but who knows.
@@chrishayes5755 Ye It does seem interesting I think it would work great for Tri element builds. I am just thinking how much stuff can I squeeze in to 9 skill sockets I was thinking of focusing on lightning as much as possible and to add some cold for chill/freeze, combined with temporal chains/enfeeble + bunch of ES + Mana with M O M would make sorc tanky af while also slowing down bosses a bunch + really nice lightning scaling

Please never stop making content like this. We need it!!
Thanks mate, I appreciate it !
Best guide so far, good job 4finger :)

I enjoyed the your thoughts on ascendancies. Subscribed.

Nice, really like those monk tips. Thanks man!
Monk seems really interesting, glad you liked it !
Add me so we can play together man @@Forefinger404

Glad you liked it !

Glad to hear it !
Interesting pov and a great build! Good job, gonna have to try it out
Glad you enjoyed it, good luck with the build!
Thanks man, Im gaming a lot so Its rly helpful to have some nice advice for free! Hope u drop more of these ✌️
@@УрошГлишић-щ8м Yea for sure, I will be putting out more videos especially when I get in on early access.
Following, you convinced me to start as sorceress :) will post my journey from noob to average on my channel

Nice breakdown. Lightning sorc looks juicy and simple to scale.
@@basedcringe9000 Exactly, I think it will do great early on.
I hope that your advices can help me, thank you broo!!

@@Forefinger404 ES protects life as standard not mana. Otherwise Eldrich Battery wouldn't need to exist. At least that's how I understand it.

@Forefinger404 if you want both the nodes after embrace darkness you can't take ES leech anyway. Not enough points.

What do you think about Chronomancer?
It seems fun, but can't talk to much about it until I see the rest of the Ascendancy nodes.
Do you recommend this game for someone coming from Diablo 4, how does its difficulty and complexity compare?
Hell yea, it has way more endgame content, it has a lot more build variety and they tuned down complexity a bit so it is more beginner friendly now, so it's perfect time to get in to Poe.
How did you lose your finger?
In your mum
@@brankopavlovic6891 Short explanation: Balkan.
Blasphemy seems really strong, it basically works like aura around you that applies curses?
Correct, all enemies in the radius get cursed automatically if supported by Blasphemy.
What about Sigil of Power on Sorc?
@@bojanjakovljevic5049 Oh yea, I actually had it on my poe2 skill setup but forgot to mention it, seems really decent.
Is Elemental Storm based on lightning damage? Love the video btw 👏🏽
Not quite sure, I did find this link tho, might be helpful: game8.co/games/Path-of-Exile-2/archives/487041
Na ign kažu da su Monk skill combos vrlo brzo u igri postali OP i da ih je to skroz iznenadilo. Tako da možda acolyte..
Nije los Acolyte, samo mi deluje kao dao Stormweaver I Invoker imaju bolji scaling.

Heya, I am not quite sure what you mean by "so you cant get all that", but yes you will have 8 ascendancy points same like in Poe 1.
All these comments and not one asking what happened to your finger?
@@chrishayes5755 There is one, but ye my brother chopped it off with an 🪓 when we were kids. Balkan things ahahha
@@Forefinger404 damn, that's brutal!
