My first proper League on PoE2

Hello. As per title, this has been my first League that i have played properly.

Played Thorns Smith of Kitava. It was enjoyable for the most part as you gear up for it. Learning the nooks and cranny behind the mechanics. Getting hit is easily with the Unique helmet Crown of the Pale King.

Ascendancy. Smith of Kitava does not have that much of offensive capabilities with exceptions of that one particular node for Thorns damage located in Smith's Masterwork. Did tried Manifest Weapon, Spell on Hit and Temper Weapon. Rather ineffective for this sort of build.

Weapon choices is limited but understandable given the Early Access situation. Given time choices would be more variant depending of weapons

Fate of The Vaal. It was enjoyable to place tiles on the temple, even though I have no idea how to combo the tiles. However, there is one particular rare monsters that goes by the name "Blood Priest" which located in the Sacrifical Room? Where he shoots a projectile that deals damage overtime and does not considered as a hit so playing Thorns took some time to eliminate him.

Overall, I did enjoy the game, Lore and Thorns playstyle. Thank you for reading this short post.
