It's finally here. Five PoBs, a 22 page leveling guide, and an hour long video. This truly is the best league starter that I've made yet and I hope you enjoy.
Stream in a little bit!

As
@bexsayswords
just posted, it's a special highlight for many of us to meet
@Kripparrian
who started many of us on our journey here. He was a total gentleman and I aspire to have that patience with a crowd!
After 5 beers I have proof that
@Havoc616_
can smile! Also we totally started cooking up a league starter for 3.22, fingers crossed for good patch notes.
VERY special video today. GGG invited me to interview Chris and Neon at their office the day after Exilecon. It was an incredible experience and I hope you enjoy!

Question: some builds will want to use un-upgraded Pantheons (self chill for example), can we optionally turn some of these upgrades off on our alts?
(if so, this looks perfect! as someone who makes 5+ characters a league, thank you)
Going live now, putting the finishing touches on the Fire Trap league starter. When you get the Build Ethics Police commenting on your build you know it's a banger. Spoilers start TODAY!
I just published my first
@maxrollgg
guide! Was awesome to be supported by an awesome team and putting build detail down into a new, detailed format. Enjoy :)
There needs to be a setting that doesn't allow you to comment on yt videos without watching the whole thing. The number of comments on my patch video that clearly didn't listen to my ending (very optimistic) remarks is crazy.
I'm very happy to share my League Starter for next league. This is one of the easiest to level and play builds I've ever tried. With great early scaling and solid defenses you can't go wrong with the SRS Guardian.

I appreciate the highlight but I very intentionally gave credit to my sources in my guide. This makes it sound like it's just my build, which it isn't. I was not contacted by ggg for this spotlight.
In this episode of Build of the Week,
@subtractem
causes such a racket that his enemies are blown right off the court. This build is a grand slam of yelling, creating corpses, poison, and explosions. Check it out!
Guys, it is unethical to use a 4 chaos, easily farmable craft in your league start guide?
Also, I checked the PoB and it's a 21/0 gem with all level 17 supports.
I reviewed a few of the PoBs that folks have asked for help with. I tried to address a variety of issues so it's helpful to as many folks as possible for upgrading/fixing their builds.

@bexsayswords
Meeting you last week was a massive highlight of the trip, everything you've done for the community (and me) can't be thanked for enough. Stay in touch. <3
Updated Fire Trap League Starter. Just the changes so it's a shorter video. So little changed in the patches so if you're interested in the build, start at the original video first. I'm really happy about how this turned out and I hope you consider giving it a shot!

Hey
@pathofexile
I'm first place for Trickster in Endless Delve but didn't quite reach 600, just wondering if I still get the Godslayer's reward (a bit vague in the post rules). Thanks!
The strongest build I've ever made/played. Even at 20-40 divines you're looking at 60 million DPS. I put the past 9 full days of my life into this build and guide and I'm incredibly proud to share it, enjoy! Video in thread.
@pathofexile
I don't care how small, any QoL is SO huge and I'm happy we're getting more! I actually stopped using these recipes after the suffix name change because the animal names never stuck for me.
this is what i was asking for (except i just wanted ONE big spirit, i'll settle for just 6 big bois). cant wait to laugh all day at this. these gems are amazing.
2 Billion DPS has been broken in theoretical damage with Original Sin. No stat stacking! Cold/Fire version does 20M on extreme budget and 66M for 20 divines. Working on guide now, should be out tonight. This is my favorite build ever. (heatshiver op af don't nerf plz)
Going live now, drops etc. Going to talk about the PoE 2 event, watch 3.24 announcement, then show PoE2 gameplay after embargo lifts.

They didn't get the hint after i ignored the first 3 emails. Torchlight infinite looks like a good game with awful p2w gacha mechanics. Stop supporting these practices.

@Havoc616_
posted his fire trap leveling run. Absolutely incredible run and shows what can be done with the build. TONS of work went into this video, even if you don't play the build you can learn a lot from this:
I won the Endless Delve event (for Trickster) and wanted to share my experience with it with ya'll! Super love this event and hope we see more unique ones like it in the future.
Video below.
Last week this build was shared with me and I knew I had to play it. I've made some changes to elevate it for doing super juiced T16 8k+ Wisp maps. Huge credit goes out to the original creators, this is one of the most fun builds I've ever played.

@Jungroan
Deleted my posts, they were self-centered and defensive. I agree with the message: mature and honest criticism will get us all to a better place with better builds and that's better for the community. <3
Today I leveled the Ball Lightning Hiero and I was honestly blown away by how strong it was. The Ball Lightning swap in Act 3 is so smooth and I could immediately do a T11 red map after killing Kitava. I haven't been this psyched on a build in a while.

This video took me all day to actually hit record on. I had to make a Path of Exile video first just to get my mood up first. I hate being purely negative but nearly everything I see in this patch has me feeling pretty bad, especially as a Sorc player.
video below
Got all I could out of LE. Good game for a week but needs much more end game/build customization for me to want to play more, excited for the future though. Video on it soon.
Going live now for some casual league start testing in PoE.
twitch / subtractem
Quick video addressing some issues I've seen with folks' early defense. Should help out with some beginner concepts to understand what we're aiming for.
Stream very shortly!
Video below
So...the Ball Lightning league starter got deleted from the game but they randomly buffed added Frostblink damage by 38%??? Here's a condensed overview of my thoughts on the patch notes. PoE 2 video coming in a few hours from now!

The GROWN UP with the Attack on Titan pfp has me Caught. Apparently documented process + showing mistakes = well rounded bait.
subscribe for more comment comedy!
PoB has a lot of built in tools to find the best items, passives, anoints, support gems, and upgrades for your build. These are some of the most powerful aspects of PoB that very few people actually use. Here's how.

@lolcohol
As said above I think the demo did a bit of a disservice to the game with things poorly tuned. Huntress with 1-2 upgrades felt REALLY good and the skill feel and design is frankly impressive. Anyone doom&gloom about poe2 has no imagination.
@pathofexile
Truly an exciting item for the casual player!
I kid I kid...does this mean mirrored items will have value to more than 5 people in a league? Loot 2.0? Very Interesting.
Did math, to clarify for FAQ + Bane: From
@pathofexile
less than 50%" less curse eff on Bane, Offensive buff (likely 10-20% increase damage, was hoping for 40%). Sad about Defense nerf from no Malediction + Less effect on Bane but will be ok! (sorry I babyraged
@bexsayswords
)
@pathofexile
Ok, this is the most "Boat League" bait I've ever seen in my life. Well done! (Also, HUGE thank you for giving us the launch date this early, really means a lot)
