For those of you playing wolf, an important thing to remember is the relationship between your basic attack and freeze.
Whenever you hit frozen enemies with basic attack, ice shards fall off and detonate for more damage. Once I boosted my freeze magnitude and duration with the passive tree and support gems, the freeze attack - basic attack combo became very effective.
Be sure to also apply Fist of War to Pounce as well, as it gives a nice damage boost.

Havent been able to play much...but I was curious how the game ran on the Legion Go given the performance improvements reported.
Cleared the hunting grounds in Act1 with the Merc..ran great in terms of FPS and no shuttering...but the visual were bad and several textures didnt load.
Playable but not as good as it was back during initial launch.

Just dabbing around for now. Playing with new witch skills. Looks like the visuals have been boosted, but it no longer likes being alt-tabbed. Maybe I have to dial down the settings?

Going with Sorceress/Chronomancer Comet build with Archmage. Everything else, I will re-figure out. I already have a rough build ready to go. With her, I'll pick up gear that will go towards a new Druid Build.
Beating the game asap and getting all skill points is goal number one.

I'm doing these and it's awesome. Nice tips for anyone struggling.
I'm just now to Ogham Farm. Do you know if I have to beat act 1 to get the cosmetic before the weekend is over?

With the nearly simultaneous launch, now is the best time for a head to head comparison between D4's and PoE2's numbers. We can't see the Bnet numbers or the PoE standalone client numbers, so we just need to rely on Steam and Twitch.
Looking now, PoE2 has 79k viewers and D4 has 7.4k viewers. According to Steam Charts, PoE2 has 145k concurrent and D4 has 30k concurrent.

x10 the amount of players at the high, its not even close.
When POE goes FTP with 1.0 I expect the all time highs to break.

The synergy from Amazon's elemental charge ability and the Wyvern form's power charge consumption is pretty good.

Poe2 has always been on steam since launch tho right? Didn't d4 spend it's first ~year exclusive to bnet? Don't get me wrong, poe2 is still winning but i bet it's a bit closer than those steam charts suggest.

Uh…yeah.Poe 2 early access release ver 0.01had less bugs than this goddamn Pally patch.
It's awful. I figured I could get through the d4 content this weekend and will jump into poe2 over my holiday break but the experience has been less than gratifying and most DEFINITELY not worth the $92 bucks I spent on the preorder.

Played a little of the free weekend and I enjoyed what I played. Game is very visceral and the animations feel great. So much weight to the combat.
I can't believe you can't just swap from controller to mouse like in D4. It's great to play with. A controller but fuck managing all the clicky stuff with it.
I'll happily wait for full release when it's free.

Yeah, I doubt it is accurate at all. Battle.net is still huge and then you have console where the more casual laid back D4 is most likely doing better. On PC for example, Counter Strike 2 kills CoD but if it came out for console I think more casual games like BF6 and CoD would kill CS2.
There has to be a reason Blizzard is supporting the game so well with expansions and costly cinematics. They are making plenty of money.
You can add me to the Steam numbers but the only reason I rebought it on Steam is because I wanted to play it on Steam Deck.

Yeah, and Jonathan didn't make it sound like it's coming any time soon which sucks. I paused the game on a boss and had to put my controller down and it disconnected for a split second and that STILL kicks you to the log in screen. Early Access indeed. It's odd cause GGG isn't exactly a small Indy anymore and you can hot swap and even use controller and a mouse at the same time with a lot of much smaller Indy games in EA.
