Maybe an unpopular opinion here but I’m honestly having fun, not sure how long the fun will last (just got to torment X), but for me the biggest chase is getting my build strong enough for T12. I usually lose interest at that point anyway and I’ve never been about the mythic chase unless it was an absolute BIS item for a certain build. That doesn’t seem to be the case anymore as a well rolled unique might outperform a mythic version with subpar stats and iconic mythics aren’t really being put on build
Guides due to rarity. Compared to last season it’s definitely worse but it’s still scratching my ARPG itch between Poe2 and Poe1 seasons.

I should add that I play like 15 hours a week tops, maybe 20 if I have some extra time so I don’t burn through content as fast as others. I’m guessing there are plenty of people in the same bucket!

Criticism & feedback are healthy, I just don’t think these things bother me as much as they are everyone else. Is it just me?

I’d been dealing with chronic vaping addiction of thc & nicotine for the past 6 years, but 17 days ago I quit both cold turkey. So far things have been returning to normal. My sleep is great, appetite is way better than it was before and to be honest I actually don’t feel like I crave weed anymore. However, almost everyday I get these intermittent hours of strong cravings, it almost feels like nicotine but I can’t really tell at this point. Has anyone else done something similar before?

I’m currently sitting in t12, paragon 210 with Mekuna’s static field starter version, sort of halfway to his shockuna build. My issue is I have not gotten an El Druin yet. Believe me I have opened like 25 mythic caches and still no luck. Gotten basically every other mythic a few times..

Currently hitting for high 100 billions consistently while also hitting low trillions occasionally. I want to swap from a 2H staff to a sword and focus setup so I can use the constellation aspect again which I dropped in favor of a winterglass.

Is anyone here running the shockuna build without the el Druin sword? Do you just go for a GG sword with the usual stats you’d get on a staff + a GG focus?

Getting pretty bored of my hammerdin which is in t11. I’ve got a GG starless but I did the absolute noob thing and didn’t socket before transfiguring, but I’m sure it’ll still be useable on any sorc build until I find something better.

I eventually want to spec into Mekuna’s ball lightning but don’t have any other mythics - should I start with the static field blizz build?

As the title says, this game is perfect for busy people like me who can really only spare an hour a day to game (not even everyday). The game feels rewarding and productive, I don’t have immense fomo that I get from PoE and in many ways the open world-ness and group activities make me feel more immersed.
