May I take one of your two seats ?

Thanks by advance.

Of course. One more seat is available for a weary traveller.

Joining this party. POE2 is not my style of game sadly.

I miss pre-rolling maps. I miss blasting the campaign in a few hours. I miss being creative with off meta weapon choices. I miss player agency. I miss crafting. I miss boss farming. I miss never having to boss farm. I miss goofing off with meme uniques. I miss progressing without trade. I miss having specialized builds. I miss cluster jewels. I miss portals. I miss autobombers. I miss melee slams. I miss playing without frustration. I miss corruption gambas. I miss div card gambas. I miss hideout warriors. I miss 3 month leagues. I miss skipping or blocking content you dont want to engage with. I miss 2 minute map clears. I miss glass cannons. I miss boss carries. I miss watching streams while I play. I miss pre-league POB warriors. I miss spreadsheet andies comparing atlas strats. I miss one button builds. I miss POE1.

I miss Izaro.

Joining the waiting room for 3.26

I can only imagine what lame excuse they'll come up with now for why 3.26 it's been delayed.

Waiting in the waiting room.

I never played PoE 1 and PoE 2 for me is really shallow game in terms of gear/char progression.

I plan on playing a berserker using cyclone in 3.26 but can anyone give any tips early on what to look out for?

The best tip you can get, is to not play Cyclone. The second best tip you can get, is IF you're determined to play Cyclone, do it as a DEX stacker using a unique jewel that prohibits you from using weapons (unarmed).

Regarding leveling: Two-handers are probably the way to go (on all attack based builds), at least up until level 30-40. You get access to Cyclone at around level 28, and again, if you're determined to play it, two-hander and lifetap support is probably you go-to.

Thanks for the tips, is cyclone really that bad in poe? I wanted to play a build that resembles barb from d2 with whirlwind type gameplay, any other builds are good as berserker similar to frenzy in d2 maybe?

Back in Legion league, several years ago, Cyclone was the best skill in the game. So GGG did what GGG does and nerfed the hell out of it, several times. Mechanically, the skill is one of the best skills in the game, as it is one of very few skills that let you attack while moving. It is also the skill in the game with the most attacks per second.

Now, Cyclone is mostly used for unarmed builds, using the "One With Nothing" unique jewel, or as a trigger for Cast on Crit builds.

That said, if you really invest into an attack Cyclone build, it CAN do all content. Mechanically, the skill is one of the best skills in the game, as it is one of very few skills that let you attack while moving. It is also the skill in the game with the most attacks per second. Therefore, the damage numbers are... Bad.

If you just want to have fun, go for it. If you plan on progressing to pinnacle bosses? Prepare to invest.

Similar to what Phrazz said it is difficult to scale Cyclone as a new player due to it being nerfed many, many, many times but it is still solid to play on a Duelist into Slayer or Champion Ascendancy. Maybe go full Physical Impale as a new player? If you can find a high Phys DPS Staff I would recommend Shockwave Support Gem for additional clear.

If it is your first time playing PoE 1 then by all means have fun. You only get a be a noob once.
