    Having now gotten a witch to mapping, part of me wants to stop progressing there and roll either a ranger and try out a bow, or a marauder and try out physical attack melee builds. Having played as a witch, I have very little understanding of the armor and evasion rating mechanics though I know the basics. I'm thinking playing completely different characters on the other side of the tree will help me broaden my understanding of build potential on my witch.

Then after a league or two build something following a similar tree, You will soon learn what works and doesn't.

    • @Altek2k
      @Altek2k  Год назад +3

      There is no real healer class in the game but you can give life regen to everyone close to you. All of the benefitial buffs to team mates come from Auras. You really want a character with increased aura effects close to mana reservation efficency. Probably the best support ascendancy in the game is the guardian. It gives loads of binuses to allies and party members. Going all out support can make the character slow to level, this will be fine if you're leveling with friends too, if not you will probably want to get to maps without the auras and move into them later. www.poewiki.net/wiki/Guardian For a team tank also with aura effect buffs the champion is probably a decent pick.

    @kylenguyen7371 Год назад +2

    Started playing the game about a month ago on my XBox Series S. I'm currently on the second half of the Acts (somewhere around 6 or 7?), having started with a Shadow/Trickster. One of the things this video doesn't seem to touch on is that, with all the seeming overlap of themes and specialties among classes, is whether there are any reasons to, say, pick a hybrid attribute character to start a build with as opposed to the pure/single attribute characters? Perhaps I'm looking in the wrong places or for the wrong search terms, but I can't seem to find anything that the Trickster does which can't apparently be done better by other classes and their own ascendencies.

    • @Altek2k
      @Altek2k  Год назад +1

      Trickster is really good for high sustain and defensive builds. It is the ultimate anergy shield tank in the game. If you want high survivability on life go jugg or champions, for es it's trickster. It's also the smoothest trapper miner if you go sab. Assassin is nowhere near as strong as it used to be though.

    • @kylenguyen7371
      @kylenguyen7371 Год назад +1

      [On the topic of Ascendancy choices] Assassin certainly doesn't seem strong right now, but it was (at the very least, to me) more obvious as to what it did as the premier Critical Strike ascendancy. Without having played it myself, it still stuck out as "Pick this if you are building around Critical Strikes". Saboteur was clearly "the Traps and/or Mines Guy".
      [On the Shadow, as a whole] Before Ascendancy comes into play, is there actually any advantage to starting as the Shadow over the other classes? Or should builds always start with a plan for Ascendancy? Perhaps that's part of my initial downfall, the cause for my confusion; I started the game and picked a character semi-blind, with no real game plan beyond "have fun applying DoT's because Shadows apparently love poisons, and get your elemental resistances capped to ensure you can survive each Act." For further context: I had no idea what skills I wanted to focus on, and my socketed skill gems are still a bit of a schizophrenic mess after my first encounter against Kitava.

      @redfish337 Год назад +2

      @@kylenguyen7371 Nothing is really necessarily better or worse as a matter of being hybrid or not- though I think the life/armor and spell type gems are most straightforward, so I think champion (as life/armor/evade... preferably still with a skill that doesn't depend on weapon too much) and templar (as life/armor/spell gems) are a good starter for a new player. Energy shield is a bit jank until you get some stuff to help it restart/regenerate quickly and a big pool of it- a lot of people will level their ES builds as life and switch to ES later. So as that is one of trickster's main things, it might feel a bit lackluster for you in acts.
      Also I think hybrid is easier to work with in terms of equipment rolling and gems socketing, as the requirements for most equipment and gems is actually pretty low- so hybrid stat can equip most stuff pretty easily whereas the non-hybrid is stacked so much in one stat that it might have issues using off-stat stuff. And until pretty late game or with very particular builds, all that excess primary stat tends to not actually be doing too much.
      But it's really just a matter of the meta. They nerfed inquisitor (str/int) a couple leagues ago- both directly, and as a matter of changes to everything else... it had about 20% usage. Now it's down to 4%. Juggernaut (pure str) was about 1% a couple leagues ago- but afaik, a certain build for it got much more popular and it was up to almost 20% a few weeks into the league (and has since dropped down to about 10% as more and more deadeyes get geared up)

      Auras are just like any other active skill gem, except when you activate them they reserve your mana.

    A bit I strongly disagree with is following a build for your first playthrough.
    You should have fun and f around at least on your first playthrough since
    campaign on it's own is quite easy, especially if you're taking your time exploring game and it's mechanics.
    And a huge trap people fall into is comparing themselves with very experienced players and getting demotivated.
    Try to avoid minmaxing your gameplay to keep up with them and take game in at your pace,
    this game is grossly overcomplicated as it is anyway.

    • @Altek2k
      @Altek2k  Год назад +13

      I think our experiences may have been different. When I first started PoE I got so lost and bewildered with my lack of a build that could do anything that I gave up in act 2. Two leagues later I came back followed a guide and it helped me understand a lot more and also just scratched the surface of how much great complexity this games has which gives you build diversity and from that point I was hooked. I think if I had watched some basic guides maybe it wouldn't have been so bad. I think its a very hard game to start without any kind of guide like material, even if it's not a full on build guide. Thanks for your thoughts and for watching!

    • @raphael2407

      I strongly agree with "play your own music". I take inspiration from other peoples builds and watched a lot of videos to gain some understanding of the games mechanics (Skills and especialy the many different support skills). Once you understand SYNERGY is key, it clicks. You are looking for Synergy between your skillgems/supportgems with your Skilltree and the gear. Experiemt and find your prefered playstyle by yourself, nobody can teach you what is fun for you and what not. Once you found it, it's easy to walk your own path.
      A huge help for me in the beginning was strictly playing all by myself without trade. Solo Selffound (you unlock the SSF gamemmode by completing act 3). Work with what you have, this way you also learn how to craft, and you build around that along the way. Don't be afraid to make mistakes, it's still just a game, have fun 🙂

      i wanna add to this that as a new player i've been doing exactly that, just fucking around on the skill tree which is a ton of fun. the thing is that i've noticed that i'm hitting a wall where going further is very complicated since i've been mixing multiple functionalities and found that the game doesn't always provide me reliable ways of combining them and i'm not experienced enough to figure them out on my own which is why i've now decided to look up this video. i'm absolutely not going to minmax my gameplay and play meta just to not run into that issue, but with the help of this video i decided to give the templar a try since i think it's just going to be more fun for me overall. so what i'm really doing is minmaxing my fun :p

      early act 1 is somehow very easy to die in. as a new player, like all but one of my characters have died before reaching prison (the only one that survived is a second run with ranger). probably just because I’m bad at the game lol (only got a ranger through acts out of 4 characters, and it was with a build guide)
      makes sense why it’s so easy to die though; low defences from gear, low skill points, lack of skill gems and link sockets so you might not be able to nuke everything

    i love a game that advertises itself as always free to play, never pay to win. So i am currently downloading it. First imma do what i always do and try to create a character that can closely resemble Kirito's fighting style. Dual longswords, fast attacks, decent speed/evasion, no magic or elemental attacks. Then imma play legit if that fails horribly by just choosing witch and going for horde clearing.
    This is all if we assume I will even play regardless of how complicated the game looks.

    That's why my turn off is gender locked

    • @Altek2k
      @Altek2k  Год назад

      I don't really see them as genders anymore, All toons are the same under several layers of armour.

    The correct answer is it doesn't matter, classes don't make any difference.

    • @Altek2k
      @Altek2k  Год назад

      I have to disagree. The ascendancies make a massive difference to how the toon feels.

      The game is complex, but that's what makes it so good! Learn it one step at a time. Thanks for watching!

    If only this game wasn’t dog shit on console, or just in general. Early game is so boring I’d rather hop on Diablo 4 for the next decade straight

      Never tried it on console. The early game is really short so doesn't bother me to much. Thanks for watching!

      Spell supression is good. Haven't found it essential on the duelist when they have good block, but agree it helps survivability so much. Thanks for watching!
