Happy Easter to those still playing POE2!

It's not much of a celebration, but my Essence Drain Infernalist Guide has been updated to account for the 0.2.0 Passive Tree Changes.

This also includes some notes for those that want to adapt it to a Lich as well.

It took a bit of time to get fixed up, but the POB for my Twister Huntress Leveling Build has been added to the guide!

Additonally, I got around to updating the Leveling Uniques Guide as well, to include the new options from 0.2.0

Bit more delayed than expected, as PoB got updated as well finally. But The Huntress Leveling Build for POE2 is here!

Despite the recent bug fix, its still perfectly functional, as I didn't lean heavily into projectile count.

Outside of the random crashing day1, League Start for POE2 has been fun.

Started with Twister to level a Ritualist, and it's been incredibly smooth so far. Would be stronger on Amazon, but still some of the smoothest map clearing I've had in a while.

Written guide for the Amazon version tomorrow.

The Details for Unleash weren't in the patch notes, but were made available through dataminer this morning, so Unleash has its proper info now.

As it turns out, I wasn't wrong about what it'd do.
Now that we have Path of Exile 2 Patch Notes for 0.2.0, nearly every Ascendancy got changes, and by extension, needed to be updated.

These are now all up-to-date based on that patch notes given. Chronomancer will need to be revisited after the patch goes live, due to lack of details on Unleash.
Been a busy few days getting stuff together for Path of Exile 2's upcoming update.

Thankfully all the new Ascendancies were cover in one way or another to be able to cover what I could for them.

Links to all of them as well as the ones or other classes can be found here: vulkk.com/2024/12/12/p...

Brighter Shores has been a hell of a way to de-stress and take my mind off all the recent news/politics. Such a chill and relaxed game.

It'll be interesting to see where it goes in the future. For now I'll enjoy it for the mix of idle/active gameplay it provides.

Consolidation around the anime industry is upsetting but not new, since corpos have been acquiring studios left and right..........................but the sentence "Sony in talks to acquire Kadokawa" is such a horrifying sentence I physically recoiled. No thank you
