daanstrik4293: “This is how you learn POE” when showing the POB calculator just hit so hard.

When I made my own build for the first time (from scratch) I used this page very extensively. Before then I had pretty much never used it

It wouldn’t be the first thing I’d point new players to. But once they’ve got a solid grasp on the basics: this is the next step.

Kinda wish I saw this video years ago just for this reason alone.

echoheadxx: Hell I'm a veteran player in a crisis of faith on my build and you inspired me to research more instead of complain
CypherOfSolace: I think so many players see a build with 50 hours invested into the build, but then a new players expects to see the same results after playing the same build for only 8 hours. Then say "why am i not as strong? Ive been playing all week"

I wish streamers would shed light on how much time as in maps run/mobs slain/time played in game when showing their build.
A streamer day 2 build has 20-40 hours invested and a casual day 2 might be 5 maps in.
JadedEvild0er: I think one thing new people don't understand or aren't really taught is to import your in-game build into Path of Building. Open a fresh new empty PoB then choose the Import/Export Build button. You can import using the Character Import option directly from Path of Exile. Make sure your PoE Account is not set to Private, so the import function can see your characters. I've found this helpful to compare my "current" build, particularly in the Calcs section, to a creator created PoB. Wish PoB had better functionality for build comparison but flipping back and forth is still useful in finding those obvious differences.

Joppsta360: I mean, part of the problem comes when your next gear upgrade costs several tens of divines to take your build to the next level. If buying off trade anyway.

The biggest issue is not understanding the crafting systems. Didn't know you could harvest craft resistances into others interchangeably until this league and I've been playing since 3.21.
Xebtria: "what is the problem and how do I fix it?"

the problem is that the build I chose for a league starter has a way too high entry cost for a league starter and to fix it I need basically 40 div at this point, and in order to farm that currency I need a build that CAN farm that currency with a lot lower entry cost to do so. Said build might have an easier ramp up early on but a low ceiling even with investment so it is perfect to farm that kind of currency but I tried to be a smartass and start with the difficult, higher ceiling but also higher entry cost build early, got buttfucked by it and now I learned my lesson and rerolling temporarily is the way of fixing the issue.
