You sounds like GGG is doing everything right, but you did not seem to buy any supporter pack. Do you really love the game and like to support them?


Sorry, but I think Hendel is right. You're not going insane, and GGG is not going insane. However, you may need to reflect on your expectations. Most builds have limits. You might need better gear, better allocation of passives, change up how you play, or run easier maps. It happens to me too. Don't feel bad, but have a think about it. It's the very nature of PoE, that you have to think and balance your risk, and not do the hardest content possible. Leave that to Ben.


Thanks for the advice! I'll try easier maps and lower difficulty.

I'm not so familiar with the design philosophy of POE because I didn't play POE1 much.

So, I guess the nature of POE is that I'm meant to hit a wall and hit it hard, if I didn't do things correctly. But I am following a build guide on Mobalytics. I suppose I just need to give it time...

2k life + 1.3k ES, 40% evasion now. Need currency for better gear. These charges/shots are big hits that requires rolling to avoid.

Deflection is good but too far away to get on the passive tree for my build. GG gears are expensive...


Try having at least 4k+ in life combined with ES if you want to run T15 smoothly.

I also use a poison path finder, I have 1700 life and 3500 es.

If you are following the build from Fugbun, be careful as it is really optimized for critical hits and very expensive gear.

I would suggest you go for non crit and take the flat damage nodes instead, get a good high physical bow and do not get the gloves hes using because they are not good unless you use other expensive stuff.

Here is my current gear to give you an idea of a non crit version of the build, if you need my tree lmk, I absolutely demolish everything easily.



EDIT: The belt image is truncated, here is the important detail, and its like 1 div for that belt:

150 life
35 fire res
29 cold res
21 chaos res

Huge thanks for all the gear pics!

I guess the ultra-end-game build from Fubgun is kind of misleading...
Another call for starter build guide promotion!

I'll start make adjustments and work on it.

Thanks again and happy holidays!

You're welcome! And yep, that's exactly it! You hit the nail on the head about hitting walls. Sometimes I just abandon that path, or something I revisit it after getting new gear or a new idea. :)
