Will Waystone Tier affect Lineage gem drop from Deadly Map Boss? Thinking of using Tier 6 for safety

I'm not much of a crafter, just play around on interesting items a little. Is this ring worth much as is? I know the strength roll could be something better, but I don't usually get this lucky on a base drop with a max roll desecrate. I have no idea what something like this is worth, and if it's worth investing currency into. There are only three similar rings I found when searching, starting at 400 Divine. I was thinking of maxing out Sibilant Catlasyst on it at least, but is that even worth doing?

I just got a spirit gem in Act 1, but used it to get the wrong skill. Is there a chance another one will drop? What would be the best way to get another one?

I'm a noob and this is my first league, had a lot of fun, but kind of feel like I hit a wall. Any meaningful upgrade to my build seems like it would cost a mirror. My best farming method so far is citadels fragments, but that max 100 div an hour for me, so getting to a mirror seems impossible. I could probably optimise Jewels, but I feel like it would give me like 1% more.

If u have any ideas what I could change for 1k div that would improve my char please let me know

I really liked hollow palm, it wasnt even that strong and they still nerfed it to the point is not even worth at all. Why does GGG always make such clueless changes ?

I am going to run a few citadels... makes it more sense to have tablets with "50% quantity of waystones found in your maps" or "30% of waystones dropped by map boss"?

Anyone know when the next league starts? 0.5 Im tryna see if its worth leveling a bloodmage and fully build a temple thanks

New to PoE2 after not playing 1 since covid.

How can I target specific support skills? I've been looking to get Concentrated Area and the wikis don't seem to say which skills offer which support skill engravings, only which skills can use already engraved gems. What am I missing?

I know they said the cosmetics are supposed to carry over from 1, but only a handful of my old cosmetics are appearing in 2 for me. Did this change or is it expected that everything will carry over eventually?

Should we expect next update in April-ish?

Made a post but it got deleted. So I figured I’d try posting here:

Struggling to get deep into the endgame

I am still quite a noob when it comes to PoE. I dabbled with PoE 1 but never broke through the campaign into endgame (may give it another shot in the near future.) Tried out PoE 2 in 0.4 and got hooked much more than I did the first game. I appreciated uncut gems as a way to customize your build very early on.

I have leveled a ton of characters through the campaign and have had a blast. But I end up hitting a wall mentally with the endgame. Mapping has felt kind of boring with no real “goal” I can set in my mind. If there is a goal it hasn’t been made clear to me. I just keep doing the highest map tier and kill stuff. But I can’t really tell you why.

To my understanding GGG is looking to improve the endgame in hopefully the next league, so I won’t lament on that point for now.

A bigger problem in my mind has been the motivation to play any given character/build. I have approached it a couple of different ways with different outcomes:

1. I followed a build guide that would ensure my build can perform well. But at a certain point the build is “online” and doesn’t really evolve. It boils down to farming currency to eke out a bit more stats on your gear.

2. Create my own build. Every build I’ve tried to put together has had multiple shortcomings and I’m too stupid to figure out a good build that can stand on its own.

3. Tried SSF. Holy hell that was way too tough idk how people get through SSF without hitting a wall in item progression

I’m not sure if I’m missing something but it’s left me feeling sad about it all. I actively want to play the game because the skill combinations are insane and I want to keep exploring it. But it never ends up panning out and I get bored.

I don’t want this post to come off hating or just trying to complain. I genuinely enjoy what I have played and I just wish I could get more out of it.
