I'm super late but I'm trying to make my temple and I really just want to make something relatively simple. I am following the snake idea that I am seeing but I don't know if there is a better method now. I'm just trying to use spymaster -> garrison -> armory -> garrison -> spymaster. Is this the correct method or should I try to mix in other things? Is there anyways that I am able to do this and also regularly fight the boss?

Also, I thought I remember reading that t15 maps would energize 3 crystals but it seems like it's always 1. Is there a method to speed this up?

Hello. I'm new to POE2, and my experience with ARPGs is somewhat limited. I have played D2( up to Nightmare), D3, and Diablo 4. I played a bit of Last Epoch last year, and maybe two hours with PoE1. I'm running a Merc on Xbox. I'm toward the end of Act 1. I feel like Diablo has a decent story, Last Epoch has that cool skill customization tree, and crafting for affixes. My question is this: What is PoE2's unique systems that I should try to learn early? I think I've read that white items are very valuable, correct? I can also play on PC with the same account? Are there console-friendly builds that require less precision with M+K?

Am I crazy or is the gnashing sash absolutely terrible? Overflowing your life is great but if I'm reading it correctly, only your flask is able to do that. The life loss means 10 seconds after fully overflowing your life, you're back to your max life. Recoup or regen wouldn't be able to upkeep your life past max, only another use of your flask.

I would buy one and test it, but the cheapest one is 3000 divs with the second cheapest being a mirror. I'm guessing it only has this price because of its insane rarity and the fact that you can only get it from corruption zone bosses.

It feels like you're better off just using olroths resolve which gives you 20 seconds of guard. There's basically no synergy to using them both. And olroths resolve doesn't use your belt slot, so you can equip a headhunter or ingenuity. It also doesn't require me to deal with life loss in any form.

This unique pisses me off. It's making finishing the unique tab an annoying process.

Do you guys know why can't I put this in my passive skill tree? I only have this kind of jewel and when I try to put other jewels, I can put it except for this one.

Two questions about temple leeching. I just did a run that damn near crashed my game on console, how are console users keeping up or sifting through the loot?

Also I didn't level up at all which seems odd given I was level 36, figured it would have been a ton of xp. Why did I not level at all?

Hi guys, just wondering if you could help me, how much should I sell this spear? I see two similar items in the market, the first for 1000 div and the second for 3500. Thank you

Is getting 'strikes deal splash damage' good for skills that already deal area damage? Like does it stack damage?
