I was missing the fact that you could salvage more than just sockets.... that's been rectified and it's making a significant difference in my build.

Oh My FN GOD so I set up my detonate dead witch but realized I needed a level xiv spirit gem witch I dotn have so I jump onto my infirnalist witch whic his level 57 ( need 58 to get level x14 spirit gems ) and I get to the act two boss fight with Zalamarth the colosus and I can do damgae whe nit first come up but then when he moves to the side nothing can hit in raging spirits nor my arsone skelis its that stupid bug I make myself die restart boss fight doing damage he moves t othe side no damage cant hit any part of him did this 10 times they need to fix that stupid bug I thought that they did , I used to have t o hit its hand but as soon ad it moves to the side I none of my skellis or raging spirits seem to even acknowledge that the boss is even there hehe so now I jump on my monk and have been killed the bog witch in hopes to get a level x14 spirit gem but so far after 20 kills not one

Got into the mapping and up to level 71 after fighting with more crashing to power out state. Updated BIOS and fumbled around getting ram at 3600 again as the DOCP profile is not quite right post BIOS update. Seems to be ok again but being the only piece of software that has ever exhibited this behavior I still find it weird.

Previously just going from dx12 to vulkan sorted it out then there was the windows update and it started happening again. Wonder if maybe a scheduler update or something is the source cause.

I still need to get another ascension run in but farming maps for a while isn't a bad thing. Onky complaint about mappings. Ilof the first 10 I successfully soloed a few were t2+. But none of them count towards t2 progress. Kinda thought it would have kept track of that and awarded progress appropriately.

My chance at a beta key got sniped, probably by someone with a keygen or something.

Would've loved to have see if I could've made a Totem only build like PoE1. Guess I'll be waiting a while yet

I noticed yesterday also the day before that I was getting massive lag which I died a few times and I was still doing the story line act 2 cruel with one of my toons I am sure that it wasnt on my end it was server lag, I am sure that if I play today that will not happen because the majority of players on the West Coast will be in school als other is no race going on lol
on my Ice monk I was just starting the first level of maps and I was dieing because he is pretty much a glass cannon mostly evation which I think is around 74% I am not sure if it can get any higher t hen that I have done my best but it doesn't seem to go past 74% anyway that is why I started other toons pretty muc hall of them are in their 50s low 60s still trying to find level 14 spirit gems . The only toon I have that is low level is my warrior it is soo slow I may go on it I was watching a person that does builds showing clips from the race over the weekend and the top 6-10 speed runners were all warriors and what they were doing was using that jumping and shield charge which I didt think of shield charge to zip through things, but these people were clearing act on in just over 2 hours.
I do have a ranger that I stopped playing because I was getting bored with dieing I am to slow with the gas flame shooting I would get overwhelmed and I am I think either beginning curl or in act 3 normal lol also that was long ago when I stopped playing it so now that I am getting a fairly good idea of how the area work I may do much better now.
my current sorc is a lot of fun Ice wall and fireball so far in cruel it's pretty good it freezes the targets like my monk did . but I having issues finding gear that give good energy shield and energy shield regen again solo player it is tough and well gambling the upgrading thing hasn't really worked out that great for me same goes for gambling in general lol

SO made a chronmancer its fun and well she is probably my best toon so far Imade her becasue my detonate dead witch needed a ;eve; 14 spirit gem , and well after I got my Chronomancer into the maps I had many spirit gems level 40 for the sacrifice gem so I jump on my witch get the gem make the Sacrifice gem and guess what it sucks because I dont have enough spirit to get more brutes also getting those brutes to high enough health level with + skills well I am very disappointed with my build with the blood witch detonate build I also keep clicking on corpses instead of the brutes with really sucks and gets me dead pretty fast hehe I really dont like doing the mapping stuff even low level 1 plane maps I died pretty easily and its kind of boring lol I may have to do my best to finish my warrior then my merc and any other builds to get into end game maps but we will see the warrior to me is sooo slow but then watching footage of the speed runners I may have to get things like Shield charge and what ever that jumping attack thing is to speed past some of the mobs .
also I need more space running out of room fast being a hoarder is not a good thing even now after the hours of playing I am still not sure what to keep and what to break down hehe also I still dont have my Sparky sorc i n end game yet

ugg happened tyo me again was working on my warrior discovered that I should just use a staff on main hand ( faster but also has +4 mele ) and was dog my ascension had a bit of a time fighting the ascension boss actually failed once before , so I finally get past it then was deciding which ascension would be better... than my internet goes out , so I log into my building lounge wifi go to sign in but it asked for a pw because it says new location so I type in my PW but its wrong , then my intent reconnects so I log in game and discovered that now I have to redo the whole tasks for ascension all over again lol this si the second toon this has happened with

so i played pretty much all day afer my mild work out and so I remembered that there is a POE2 race so I jumped on Darths youtube channel was scanning through a live feed of him watching the races adn the winner went from act one finished act 3 in 2hrs15 minutes iam just wow me I am still in act 1 or the beginning of act 2 lol so needless to say I am going to look at what this persons build is I know he was using leep maybe shield charge or something like that but wow I was watching this players when fighting posses and when the bosses using perfect stike the hit it would drop but keep dropping its health even while the player was reloading perfect strike the bosses' health was going do I mean maybe 3-4 hit and the bosses were dead.
I am wondering what the sup[port gem they were using that was doing this it had to be a level one sine you cant get higher until cruel acts or am I not remembering correctly
