RE: Path of Exile 2 update
We finished the campaign in Cruel difficulty. I died once during the final act boss fight because I had a case of fumble fingers. ILA was able to rez me, so we then went on to our first endgame map, which was just a basic plains layout with some elevated ground, which was interesting. They also added a lot of trees, roots, and rocks for people who like to get their characters stuck on terrain. It was okay, but I liked the campaign better.
ILA's witch is a hilarious walking WMD. My ranger does decent damage but is made of tissue paper and popsicle sticks. I also chose the wrong ascendancy path. The extra passive points in the pathfinder tree were so attractive that I overlooked the fact that you eventually have to spec into either poison or flask "concoctions." Neither of these is well suited to a lightning damage build. I have another ranger in the works to correct this, but I think I'll stick with my witch. ILA is also working on another witch, so the plan is to have two witches running around blowing everything up with skeletal arsonists and "raging spirits" (like the flying skulls in Doom). With luck, we will oversaturate everything and have lots of crashes and disconnections.
