The next four classes are all melee! ⚔️

The new free set that you can get for 36 challenges in current poe1 league (quite amazing in poe2 imo)

0.4.0f Patch Notes

* Added support for the upcoming Path of Exile announcement and new Supporter Packs. * Map Portals in towns and hideouts now display "(Complete)" on their label once the map has been completed. * Fixed a bug where you could be permanently slowed for the remainder of an instance after performing certain actions while slowed. For example, this occurred if you stepped out of Chilled Ground while picking up an item. * Fixed a client crash.

Crafting is not only bad but it also takes away from being exited about loot drops.

It's probably unpopular opinion but what the hell... I LOVE PoE games. I have over 1000h in PoE1 and now I'm approaching 500h in PoE2. PoE1 eventually became a game that a bit too fast and too bloated for me so I pretty much quit playing it once PoE2 dropped and I don't regret it. PoE2 pace is much more fun for me, I enjoy playing through campaign a lot more and classes are fantastic! (Merc and Druid <3) That being said I have to confess - One of the things I apreciated as a concept but never really liked was crafting system in PoE. For me it took away from loot drops as the game became more about "find a base and then farm currency" instead of being exited about loot drops without a need for any crafting on top of that. I know that it puts me in minority as most PoE players seem to enjoy it's crafting system. PoE2 tho was supposed to "fix" this issue by removing crafting station, upgrading the loot system and making it so crafting happens more "on the go" even as you level up and balance loot drops with crafting on top of them instead of crafing being a necessity. Well... That's not the case. Not only crafting still is a necessity if you want to push your build higher - taking away from farming loot and focusing on farming currency. But also crafting itself is a total mess. Crafting in PoE2 could me summarized as "it does something". It creates a Diablo 2 problem. Runewords were cool and all but nowadays you either farm runes and bases or you're in massive disadvantage because item drops simply can't match the power of strong runeword. In PoE2 - You either farm currency and use it on a strong base or, again, you are at disadvantage because normal world drops are just not as powerful. For me - Crafting should be simplified and be way more deterministic and loot pool should be updated to make drops more exiting on their own. (I know - easier said than done)

Level 98 HCSSF Death

[Corpse Explosion 4k life gone instantly ](https://reddit.com/link/1rt5715/video/oj5owotrowog1/player) Was running temple trying to push to level 99 and poof there he goes. 4k life, capped res, 65k ehp, scavenged plating and % armor to elemental damage gave me over 80k armour applying to fire damage. Died at 4th ranked Smith of Kitava this league. F in the chat

Anti-climactic?

I can't tell, is this fight anti-climactic? /s

Help with my build. I'm playing as a Mercenary, Stone Legionnaire.

Help with my build. I'm playing a Stone Legionnaire on Mercenary and I don't know what to do—I don't have nearly enough damage for Act 2. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwpbF\_jl7Ls](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwpbF_jl7Ls) I watched this video, but I'm not really sure how to go about it. Could someone suggest a good build using electricity and Legionnaire's Stones? https://preview.redd.it/krcg6schlwog1.png?width=550&format=png&auto=webp&s=fdcff3f89b6f09d1dd065746ccbb8136ea2128b7
